Chapter 159: The Beginning of the Journey
The vast land of the Munster Empire, consisting of a total of forty-two jurisdictions of various sizes, jurisdictions or territories, each of which was controlled by its lords, and the king was the ruler of those lords. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As one of the largest countries on the continent, the vast territory is one of the great advantages of the empire, but it is also its disadvantage.
For example, the two farthest territories, not counting the use of nascent navigation tools, will take about a few months to travel back and forth, so the information transmitted may be affected by time, and the situation will be affected to a certain extent, which is very disadvantageous.
The Empire's new navigational tool, the Barbut Ship, took advantage of its extremely fast speed and quickly established ports in the Empire's major cities, and by now, the Empire had basically set up a port of call for ships in each city.
Although it takes a lot of money to take a Babut boat, it is also worth the money, and if you are really in a hurry, the Babut boat can play such a role, and it is definitely worth the expensive price.
Due to the rise of the shipping industry, other transportation industries have also been affected to a certain extent, but not to the point where they have been replaced, but the degree of prosperity is not what it used to be.
“...... I always feel that there are no more people here than at the dock of a ship. ”
A young man dressed as a civilian, carrying a travel bag larger than his body, looked around and expressed his thoughts about this place that had been known as a bustling place many years ago.
He had just passed by the dock of the ship, and this distinct scene was undoubtedly a source of complaints.
"Temple...... Harry, it's a bit deserted here. ”
The woman standing next to the boy was holding two hand-held suitcases, giving people the feeling that she was a young lady, and the dress on her body was also the color of a civilian, but her appearance was outstanding.
"Forget it, just find a convoy quickly. ”
The boy's gaze wandered around, hoping to find what he called the convoy.
"It's all right, hurry up and find it, my legs are numb. ”
The girl in the straw hat grumbled.
"I see. ”
The boy replied angrily.
On the other side of the boy stood a straw hat girl of the same age as him, also dressed as an ordinary civilian, the inconspicuous kind, and there was a feeling of being a young girl.
The three of them walked together, like a family, with different hair colors, black hair and white hair.
Originally, this place was a place where the convoy gathered, and there would definitely be a convoy if you were patient to find it, but now it just takes time, and this is the case for the three newcomers, and it is also the end of not preparing in advance.
It is similar in nature to the station, and when it is full, it can be set off, and the final destination is a city called Conobad under the adjacent Duchy of Myron.
Under the guidance of the well-wishers, the three of them finally avoided the option of avoiding detours, and went straight to the avenue to a city gate that was open to the outside of the city.
"Wow, it's so lively. ”
Pairs of carriages for transport are parked on the side of the road, some in the middle of the road, and some in small numbers...... There are many kinds of them, and in short, people can recognize this as a team of horses at a glance.
Carrying goods, the naked adults carried the goods to the carriage, like ants carrying things, without stopping at all.
There were people who looked like merchants talking about the freight with the men leading the carriages, and there were people who looked like Harry and the others, that is, civilians, who were taking a shade under a large tree that shaded the sun, chatting as if the wagons had not yet left.
People come and go, and there's only one word Harry can think of.
Although it is not as lively as the air port, it is also a very lively place.
"Now, I guess it's time to go through the formalities. ”
The civilian boy had chosen a random procession of about ten carriages, and was parked on the side of the road.
The civilian boy walked towards a man who was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage and was chatting and laughing with a colleague.
"Uncle, I want to ask, is this a carriage to Conobad?"
The man, whom the civilian boy called Uncle, paused his conversation with his colleague and looked back at him, as well as at the two older and younger sisters beside him before returning.
"Kid, are you going to Conobad?"
"Yes. ”
The civilian boy nodded, and the big travel bag he was carrying behind him also panicked.
"Well, let's pay first, three people, well, that's three silver coins. ”
"Huh?!"
“...... What's wrong?"
The uncle was slightly frightened by the boy's attitude.
"Sorry, sorry, nothing, it's three silver coins. ”
The young man immediately retracted his stunned expression, took out three silver coins from his pocket and handed them to him.
It wasn't even a gold coin! The young man's heart was moved by the price he said, and he would be surprised for sure, it should be a gold coin, his common sense told himself.........
"Hmm...... You can go to the back and do it first, or go to the shade under the big tree, there is still about an hour before the departure time, so you don't need to rush too much. ”
The uncle put the three silver coins in the palm of his hand into the pocket of his jacket and said to the boy.
"Thank you, then I'll rest under the big tree over there first, and please remind us when we leave. ”
The boy said gratefully, pointing to the tree on the other side.
"Ah, I see, you go. ”
Uncle nodded.
After the conversation was over, the boys walked under the big tree.
"It's weird. ”
The uncle looked at their backs and said.
"What's weird?"
His colleague, the driver of another carriage, quipped with a smile.
"Well, I can't put it into words, it's just weird. ”
"It's very strange, look at that little ghost's sister, she looks so beautiful, that figure, and face, tsk........."
"Cut, his sister is not either, it's just a little younger, although I can't see my face, but I feel that I will be a big beauty when I grow up. ”
The uncle retorted unconvinced.
......
“......”
"It's so idle. ”
The boy sat on the bench under the big tree and said boredly, he was looking up at the sky, his backpack was under the bench, and his sister and sister were sitting beside him.
The cool wind blew, the leaves on the big trees blew, and by the way, a few leaves, and the clouds in the blue sky were also slowly blown.
"Harry, did you bring something to eat? ”
The younger sister in the straw hat asked.
"Yes. ”
The boy replied boredly with his chin on his hand.
"Take it out and give it to me. ”
“...... Wait a minute, Aisha. ”
A cool breeze blew again, rolling up a few leaves on the ground.
