1329. Tourist Commune
The fields were filled with fresh greenery, except for the desolate part of the abandoned mines, through which a road passed through which the other end of the road should lead to the Manor of Jezipias and the town of Hammond.
Shops and warehouses have been built on both sides of the road near the city of Ruyt, and many vehicles are driving on this avenue, especially the four-wheeled carriages carrying volcanic ash and some stones.
The trees in the city had grown new leaves to form shade, and the airport wharf and the surrounding streets on the edge of the western city wall were crowded with people who had come to the welcoming ceremony.
Many citizens even stood on the rooftops around the airport dock, some sitting cautiously on the ridges, and others holding the chimneys of the houses and waving at the magic airships that slowly fell from the sky.
The entire business district of Ruit City was crowded with people, Surdak stood on the side of the ship, and could clearly hear the magic airship waiting for the magic airship to stop firmly on the platform of the airport dock, the huge hull and the platform crash plate vibrated violently, and the crew immediately threw the rope on the ship to the platform, on the platform, the dock workers put the rope on the iron pile, and with the winch on the iron pile turned a little bit, the magic airship was tightly leaning against the platform crash plate.
Then the door on the side of the ship was opened, and the crew carried the planked passage from the deck. At this moment, a team of knights in uniform was already standing neatly on the deck of the airship, and Surdak took Samira and Jiali. Decker and the others were the first to step off the magic airship.
The moment Surdak stepped off the airship, the airport dock erupted in cheers like a tidal wave...... Among the crowd of Ruyt city officials waiting on the airport platform, the treasurer Kurt Brown. Latte, Logistics Minister Allen. Benton, Commander of the Guard Battalion, Nathaniel. Marley and the others stood at the front, and Baron Martino, Charley, and Luke also stood in the crowd.
All the nobles of Ruyt City, and some of the nobles who rushed from Mukuso City after hearing the news, stood on both sides of the road of the airport wharf, and everyone rushed to Surdak to return from Bena City and ran over to greet them, obviously it was this conquest of the Bailin Plane that made Surdak completely secure the position of Archon of Ruyt City and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
In front of a big lord with a heavy army, the things that are not worth mentioning among the nobles.
Thea and Beatrice, who were dressed in full costumes, were also waiting at the front of the battle table, and when they saw Surdak walking down, Beatrice stepped forward to give Surdak a warm hug, a kiss on his face, and Beatrice closed his eyes and was a little intoxicated.
followed by a bright-faced Thea, this Cana girl now knows more and more about imperial costumes, obviously a beautiful girl like an airport, and she squeezed out a snow-white chest for herself with a tight waist. Breasts, paired with the low-cut dress of the Green Empire, actually made Surdak see such a deep groove that belonged to her.
"Are you doing well?" Surdak asked.
"It's good, but can you come back...... It would be better! Thea said with a smile, and then she followed the example of Beatrice, and walked to Samira and Karry. In front of Decker, give the two of them a big hug.
"Is the government going well here in Ruit?" Surdak asked Kurt's treasurer who was standing aside.
"Your Excellency, all the best!" Kurt treasurer bent down and saluted. Surdak looked around, and then walked down the tower of the airport dock surrounded by everyone, almost all the nobles of the city came to participate in the welcoming ceremony, especially some young noble ladies, almost all dressed in the most beautiful dresses, crowded at the front of the crowd, holding flowers in their hands to welcome Surdak.
At the same time, they were very much looking forward to the fact that at such a grand welcome ceremony, the male hormones of the Archon would burst out like a volcano, just like other triumphant heroes, casually hugging a young and beautiful girl and kissing her, even if the actions in the street were rude.
For them, although the chances of being chosen are a bit small, it is also a rare opportunity to marry this great lord.
But apparently these noble ladies had miscalculated, and the women who accompanied Surdak to the left and right were acquainted, the one on the left was Miss Syldak's assistant to the Suldaq Archon in Ruyt, and the one on the right was the wife of the Surdak Consul, Lady Beatrice.
The flowers and applause along the way made Surdak feel the joy of that victory thoroughly...... Surdak stepped out of the airport docks, and instead of giving a triumphal speech to the citizens, he hurriedly boarded a magic caravan and galloped down the narrow road to return to the castle of Ruyt.
Seeing that the Archon Surdak did not stay at the airport dock, the citizens realized that the Archon seemed to miss his pregnant wife at home, as rumored, so he ended the war on the White Forest Plane ahead of schedule.
Watching the gorgeous magic caravan disappear around the corner of the street, the nobles and commoners couldn't help but look at each other............ Hathaway stood in front of the steps of the castle, she saw the magic airship slowly falling from the airport dock in the distance, she also knew that Surdak must be on that airship, but she didn't expect Surdak to rush back so quickly, from the slow fall of the magic airship to Surdak appeared in front of her eyes, not even two quarters of an hour had passed, Hathaway was wearing a loose long dress, her hands slightly supporting her heavy stomach, and she stood on the steps with a smile on her face.
The smile in her eyes was so soft, although her beautiful face was slightly swollen and her figure was greatly out of shape, her smile did not change at all.
Surdak jumped out of the carriage and hurried up the steps in front of the castle to Hathaway.
He gasped slightly, but it was not because he had crossed the dozens of steps in front of him, as a second-turn powerhouse, he would not be out of breath even if he climbed a high mountain on foot.
He was a little excited, and he didn't know where to put his hands. He could feel Hathaway's belly pregnant with a living life.
His body suddenly produced a suffocating shiver, as if he was naked and poured a basin of cold water on his head.
Hathaway looked up at Surdak's stubble-covered face, tears of joy glinted in her eyes, and her pursed lips were slightly raised.
Surdak knelt down on one knee in front of her, rested his head on her belly, and listened quietly to the faint sound of his heartbeat, which seemed to jump into his heart every time it beat.
"Our children...... He's healthy! Hathaway rubbed Surdak's hair with both hands and said softly to him.
"Oh, he seems to know I'm back, he's moving in his belly, he's welcoming me!" Surdak exclaimed in surprise.
"I didn't know he liked children so much...... "Thea, who was standing in the back, said with some surprise.
She looked down at her lower abdomen, fantasizing about whether the half-blood born with the Imperial people would also be Cana, thinking of this, she was a little envious of Samira, at least if she combined with the half-elves, there would be no bloodline concerns, and many humans would even be proud of the elven blood.
"Duck is different from other Imperials!" Beatrice stood beside Thea and said with some pride.
Thea turned her head to look at Samira beside her, then at Beatrice, and said like a proud princess, "Of course, we all know this......" Beatrice gently tugged at the hem of her skirt with one hand, thinking about how she should work hard at night.
…… Surdak soon entered the rhythm of the aristocracy's life, sleeping until he woke up naturally every day, and then going to the town hall to attend to the modest official business.
In fact, the town hall of Ruit City was accustomed to the days without Surdak, everyone was doing their job, and nothing big had happened lately, so Surdak sat in his office and just watched Thea carry a stack of papers, running back and forth between the sections.
When he finished eating a small plate of berries and was ready to move, he found Thea having hurried back, quickly packed up his desk, and then said to Surdak: "Alright, this matter has been taken care of, let's go!" So when she sat in the magic caravan, Surdak couldn't help but sigh at how wise it was to choose to let Thea stay in the first place, she seemed to be able to handle these affairs with ease, and her eyes as blue as a lake were still so clear.
"Thea, how is your plan to save the merfolk going?" Sitting back on the soft leather sofa in the carriage, Surdak asked Thea, who was touching up her makeup opposite.
Thea put down the small mirror in her hand and said very proudly: "I am still doing it, this has almost invested all my savings, and at present, I have bought back nearly five hundred Cana Sea Clans one after another, but there are more in all sea areas, there are more on the Endless Sea and the Seven Realms Sea, and there are also those who have been captured from the Twin Seas, but it is rare to buy male Cana, and now a small community has formed in Norma Lake." The coachman raised his whip at the crossroads ahead, and the Guboren horse jerked to the left, not on the way back to the castle, but to the city centre.
"Where are we going? Mukuso? Surdak asked Thea. She lifted her pointed chin and patted her white neck with powder.
Surdak knew that the beauty products developed by Thea and Hathaway were very popular in the circle of noble ladies in Bena Province, and they had a strong ability to attract money, but they didn't expect it...... Before she knew it, she had bought five hundred Cana slaves, and you must know that these Cana slaves in Bena Province are not cheap.
When Surdak saw that Thea was packed in a glass jar and carried to the auction table, he didn't have any idea of buying it, and the main reason was that it was 'expensive'.
"No, let me show you our newly formed tourist commune." Thea replied, placing the mirror in her small satchel.
"You ...... Who are you with? Surdak asked curiously. Thea said as a matter of course: "Of course it is Hathaway and Beatrice, with them joining, our tourist commune can be unimpeded all the way in the dry cloth plane, and it will also be officially protected." "The carriage drove to the central square of Ruit, the portal still glowing with magic, and a large number of carriages were lining up to enter the portal.
"It's pretty lively right now." Surdak looked at the lively scene outside the car window and said with emotion.
Thea replied casually, "Of course, these young adventuring parties want to try their luck in the Honkai Lands, and there are no other dangers there except for the treacherous terrain, so many newly formed adventuring parties like to go there." "The magic caravan is in front of a small two-story building, which is facing the portal to the plaza.
The plaque at the entrance reads 'Ruyt City Tourist Commune'. Surdak was the first to push the door and walk in, and saw two beautiful female receptionists in the hall, one was a young girl dressed as a rebel on the dry cloth plane, she was wearing simple fabrics, tree vines and leather, a mixed rainforest outfit, her bare skin had a natural wheat color, and her eyes had a wildness from the jungle.
The other one was even more special, standing in a waterfall was a beautiful Cana, her lower body still maintained a fishtail wrapped in scales, the mermaid line and navel were exposed, and the bear had two scallop shells attached to it, which looked heavy and much more material than Thea, and she came out of the waterfall, her hair was wet, and she smiled appropriately towards the door.
Thea, who was following behind Surdak, walked out, and the two girls were visibly relieved.
"How's business going today?" Thea asked the two hostesses. The Cana mermaid said with a somewhat tongue-twisting imperial Chinese: "I just sent away two waves, and the trip to the Sayroman Plateau has been more popular recently, boss...... You'll have to think about raising the price. ”
"That's it for now!" Thea said casually. In fact, there are only two tourist routes in the tourism commune of Xiya, one is to go north through Mukuso to Lake Bela Norma on the Sayroman Plateau, and go along the Norma Glacier to see the waterfalls upstream, and the other is from Mukuso City, passing through the town of Hatangada, the ruins of Takkale, arriving at Bansk Town to visit the land of Honkai, along the river on the edge of Raven Ridge in the rainforest, and taking a boat to reach the canyon town.
These two tours are obviously more interesting in Surdak's opinion, but because there is a group of Cana mermaids in Lake Norma, most tourists choose to go to the Norma River to see the snow-capped mountains and waterfalls......
"How many tours can you have a week?" Surdak asked Thea. Thea replied: "Almost every day, there can be one or two, a tour group of about ten people, just enough to fill a magic caravan, if there are more people, it is more picky, such a small group is just right, in fact, many young adventure groups will also choose our tour group." While chatting, a group of young people walked in by pushing the door open......
