Dragonwing City, this is the new name that Grimm gave to the built Tequila Island.

A wide, flat concrete road starts at the port in the south, passes through the factory area, passes through Xinghai Square, passes through residential areas, then passes through the Dragon Training Academy, and ends at the northernmost gladiatorial arena.

At this moment, Green was taking Victoria and a group of tribal leaders to visit the residential area of Dragonwing City.

City Hall, Hospital, Post Office, Newspaper Office, Commercial Street...... After visiting one place after another, there was only one feeling in the hearts of all the tribal leaders, and that was shock.

It's like an ancient person suddenly traveling to a modern city, and this difference almost makes them at a loss.

They are reflecting on whether the past was really too conservative and has caused them to have not changed much over the centuries. If they had been able to change as early as Grimm, perhaps their tribe would have been able to build as beautiful as Trota Island now.

Sending the brooding chieftains into the guest house, Green looked at the Queen, who was looking around like a child with her arms behind her back, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going back tonight, or are you going to stay here too?"

Victoria didn't answer the question, she pointed to a clearing in the middle of the town and asked, "What are you going to build here?"

Green turned his head to look.

"Originally, we were going to build a bell tower, but this year's weather got too cold, so we had to wait until next year to start construction. ”

As he spoke, Green pulled out a biscuit-sized metal object from his bosom and handed it to Victoria.

"Your Majesty, do you know what this is?"

It is an elaborate, gleaming silver metal object with a vivid Night-Evil Dragon carved into its surface.

Victoria looked at it for a moment and asked curiously, "Is this a badge?"

Green smiled and shook his head, then helped open the lid of the watch.

Pure white background, golden yellow scales, smooth and translucent crystal glass, there are two slender hands, with the sound of ticking and turning.

The whole thing looked simple but not simple, and Victoria looked at it for a long time, then she came back to her senses and exclaimed, "This is for timing?"

"Your Majesty is so clever!" said Green with a smile.

Clocks and watches, as a major invention in the history of human development. Its significance is not only to bring people a more accurate understanding of time, but also the embodiment of social progress, a symbol of modern civilization, and the invention of clocks and watches is also quite important for navigation and flight.

As a modern person, the concept of time has long been integrated into his heart, and Green has always been very uncomfortable with this dizzy life since he crossed over, so he has always wanted to make a clock that can judge time.

But although he is a "locksmith", his craftsmanship is actually a mess, so after many failed trial productions, Green gave up this idea.

It was only later that when a few dwarves and gnomes came to Dragon Tongue Island and saw their excellent craftsmanship, Green suddenly came up with this idea again.

Springs, gears, escapements, balance springs...... Early mechanical clocks were not complicated, and they could be easily copied as long as the principles were understood.

It's just that the production process is quite delicate.

Materials are not a problem, there is a magical dragon-shaped furnace of chewing stone dragons, and they have smelted many alloy metals of various materials.

Now, with these dwarves who can even be made with rivets, and gnomes who already know how to use vernier calipers, it didn't take long for Green to make a working clock.

And the pocket watch in Victoria's hand now is the first pocket watch they have made that can be carried on their bodies.

Hearing Green's quip, Victoria shoved the pocket watch in her pocket and rolled her eyes charmingly.

"I love this pocket watch, so I think it's a gift from you. ”

Green opened his mouth, "emmm......"

"What? You don't agree?"

"No, no!" Green hurriedly shook his head.

"The watch is wound by hand every day, and a bracelet or strap can be added so that it doesn't get lost. ”

"I can make this myself, you just tell me how to wind it. ”

......

The night is as cool as water, and the dark moon has no light.

In normal times, the residents of Dragon Tongue Island would have returned to their homes and snuggled up to the warm fireplace, but tonight, the streets of Dragon Wing City were full of people full of anticipation.

He didn't have to wait long, and as a scream sounded, one bright light after another suddenly appeared in the dark night sky.

Like lightning piercing the sky, like a flame that erupts thinly, it rises, soars, and then suddenly blooms.

Crimson, purple, azure, goose yellow, gilt, silvery.

Colorful and beautiful.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the air one after another, and then formed six different dragon patterns.

Flame, Mystic, Deep Sea, Boulder, Blade, Thunder.

Before the amazed crowd could shout out what they were familiar with, sparks fell like meteors in the night sky.

The fireworks are brilliant and colorful.

The beautiful fireworks illuminated the entire vast land at this moment, and at the same time illuminated the expectations of all Vikings for the future life.

......

Listening to the constant exclamations around him, Leopold looked at the bright night sky and was shocked inexplicably.

It was as if he had seen the cannons and muskets for the first time.

He had never imagined that there was another thing in this world that could burst out with such great power like dragon blood and magic crystal powder.

Gunpowder!

He remembered the name fondly.

He's not a gray dwarf, he's not an exile, he's just a miserable wretched.

Over the years, he has made countless attempts to realize his ambition.

However, the division of the race, the external and internal difficulties, the magic crystal restrictions of mankind, and the strategic blockade caused his efforts to end in failure.

The betrayal of his friends, the suspicion of his lover, and the doubts of his relatives made Leopold, who had gone through hardships, struggle for more than ten years and still achieve nothing.

Physically and mentally exhausted, he left his homeland and his once beloved motherland, and he didn't even feel in the mood to resist in the face of the human slave hunting group.

He has decided to self-exile.

I don't care about identity, I don't care about tribulations.

But at this moment, looking at the fireworks exploding in the sky, he seemed to have a new hope.

His deep eyes flickered with the light in the air.

Leopold looked at the other people beside him who were cheering loudly, and sighed slightly, maybe he should talk to the Viking leader.

.......

"Alright, the fireworks show is over! Green said to the little ones standing in the yard who were still unsatisfied.

The fireworks were lit by a few little fairy dragons, who were always very good at these things, but Anne and Maria stood far away with their ears covered.

The two of them were too timid, and after releasing one, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to let it go anymore.

A few of the little ones turned a deaf ear to Green's call, they were still immersed in the excitement just now, and they hadn't picked up the fireworks paper tube on the ground yet.

Green shrugged helplessly, and then said to Victoria, who was still looking at the sky, "Your Majesty, then I'll send you back first." ”

"I'm not going back today. The queen came to her senses.

"Then I'll take you to the guest house!"

"I don't like guest houses. The queen shook her head.

Green paused for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"It doesn't feel like home there!"

Victoria glanced at the door that suddenly opened, and then walked straight inside.

"Why are you wearing so little to come out?"

Green looked at Mary, who was walking out of the door in a dressing gown, and asked with some uneasiness.

Just now, she and Helen just glanced at each other and went back to the house.

"It's snowing!"

The girl muttered, then stretched out her crystal arm.

One piece, two pieces......

Falling snowflakes are like flying feathers.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

...... Winter has arrived.

The long cold winter has begun.
