The upper reaches of the Nibel River have begun to freeze, but the thin layer of ice is not enough to stop the steamboats from powering them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the way to Black Iron Town, the most excited thing is Mira.

She had clearly taken a keen interest in the ship, and she was able to make such a huge ship go by speed, without the power of demons, without paddling, and with just some coal.

It seems that the things that Renault told her before are very likely to be true!

After a few days, everyone in the power room already knew this little girl who liked to ask questions.

At first, everyone thought she was just young and curious, but with the strange questions she asked, the crew soon learned that this girl was not simple, and she was probably not much worse than Lord Charlotte.

"Anyway, just boil the water, open the valve, and the boat will move. ”

The chief engineer, who was forced to ask really no tricks, simply gave her an extremely irresponsible answer. Just kidding, how did he know what the principle was, I'm afraid only Lord Renault would know.

For this reason, Mira was itching for a long time, and she wanted to take apart the boiler in the engine room and see what was hidden inside.

When turning into the Liucui River, the ice on the river surface was thicker, and it was estimated that it would be a few days later, and even the steamers would have been very difficult to pass.

Three days later, Black Iron Town was in sight, and the tall chimneys were still smoking, and it was the blast furnace under the management of Solo, which was still smelting all kinds of ores day and night.

It's just that on the tall flagpole in front of the town hall, the flag of the Franklin family, which was supposed to float in the middle, was replaced by another large flag.

The golden lion, this is the banner of the royal family.

What the hell is this girl Mia doing?

Renault couldn't help frowning, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but when he stepped on the dock, he was still stunned by what he saw.

Is this still the street of Black Iron Town?

The green belts on both sides of the street are no longer visible of the original plants, all of which have been transplanted with verdant pines and cypresses, and they look like the trees are not small, they are as tall as two floors.

The trees are covered with colorful ribbons, and the spaces under the trees are filled with snowmen in a variety of shapes. What surprised Renault the most was the two large ice sculptures set up outside the gate of the city hall, one was a statue of Renault, with a tall posture, and the other was Mia's, smiling and beautiful.

Is this going to be an ice sculpture festival?

Walking into the gate of the city hall with a wry smile, in the clean and clean yard, Yushi was holding a dagger and chiseling at a large block of ice.

As if she was in a good mood, Renault could almost hear her humming a happy song in her heart.

It's just that in the corner of the yard, five little demon bears snuggled together, hiding under a thick parasol, twisting and twisting from time to time, looking very uncomfortable.

Seeing Renault coming, the five demon bears immediately began to hum and chirp at him as if they had seen a savior.

"Ah, you're back. ”

"Well," Renault looked at the ice cube and then at the little demon bear in the corner, "what are you doing here?"

"I'm making statues of the little demon bears, Mia taught me. ”

Renault's head was suddenly covered with black lines, no wonder the five little demon bears looked miserable, it turned out that she had been caught as a model.

But this ice sculpture is too abstract, and Renault doesn't see any point like a demon bear.

"Okay, come on. ”

After saying that, he didn't care about the little demon bear's extremely disappointed gaze, and took Mira to his warm living room.

"Look, this is my Black Iron Town. ”

The town hall is located on a high position, and standing next to Renault's window, you can see the whole of Black Iron Town at a glance.

"Black Iron Town, it must have taken you a lot of time. ”

"Hehe, yes, it's been more than a year now. ”

Can it be built like this in more than a year?

Mira kept her shock to herself, and she would come back with Renault, both to see the legendary Black Iron Town and to have a demand for something from Renault.

If you are too surprised, maybe Renault will sit on the ground and raise the price.

However, on the surface, Black Iron Town is nothing more than a group of steel buildings, and she decides that she needs to learn more about it before proposing her plan to Renault.

"Can I walk around?"

"Absolutely. ”

Renault had guessed Mira's intentions, but he didn't care. A lot of the things that Black Iron Town can make now rely on his mobile phone, and even if Mira is a genius, she can't learn these skills.

So he asked Vivi to lead Mira around, and then sat down in a familiar and comfortable chair, waiting to deal with the business that had accumulated during this time.

First of all, Baji, as the big housekeeper of Black Iron Town, has a lot of things to worry about, and he has obviously lost a lot of weight, which is estimated to have a lot to do with Mia taking advantage of his absence and tossing around in Black Iron Town every day.

Badge gave a succinct report on the financial situation for more than a month, and finally focused on the winter conscription.

The victory in the battle with the Black Sheep family made Momiji's second conscription in Tuke City achieve a perfect result, this time there were 40,000 people who signed up, and in the end, more than 30,000 people were screened and left.

This is a good thing that Renault did not expect, but the problem is that they simply did not prepare so much food and supplies for such a huge consumption.

Moreover, this winter came very early, and the reserve of materials was even worse.

"The equipment can be produced by ourselves, it has been arranged, but food is a very serious problem, and according to the consumption of 40,000 troops, we will not hold out until the spring. ”

Renault touched his chin, grain is different from other things, it is not sown right away and harvested. And he also knew very well in his heart that the reason why the winter conscription achieved good results was inseparable from the lack of food for the people of Tuke City.

Although Tuke City is known as the granary of the west, and there is no tax this year, the output is too low, and there is still a phenomenon of insufficient food in many places.

Therefore, many families simply let their children serve as soldiers, at least they can get a full meal, which also reduces the burden on the family.

"I'll figure out how to deal with the food. ”

There will be food for at least three months, so this matter is not very urgent. He just asked people to rush to Tuke City immediately and ask Momiji about the details of the poor areas, and there must be no starvation and freezing death in Tuke City this winter.

After Bucky leaves, Hawkeye Hank walks in.

The face of the most successful merchant in the Oro Continent was as radiant as if he had drunk wine.

"My lord, this is the latest issue of the newspaper, take a look. ”

Renault took it and took a look, the thin paper was densely filled with words, all kinds of jokes, all kinds of beautiful articles, and some introductions to the new products of Black Iron Town.

"The content looks good, but it's still unattractive with only text and no pictures," Renault commented pertinently, "and the title, 'Yeti Festival in Black Iron Town,' is a bit too bland." (To be continued.) )
