Chapter 674: Night Travel Notes
There are too many livestock in the territory and the fodder reserves are limited in winter, so it is normal to slaughter some sheep.
But Alyosha felt extremely uncomfortable. If she wanted to eat mutton, it would get stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
All the knights also looked gloomy. You know, the goats that were his wives on the ship had all been painfully slaughtered and eaten.
A group of untouchables actually have meat to eat, but they stand here drinking from the northwest wind.
"Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen, I'll wait for you to collect some at night." The guard captain laughed.
As if to confirm his words, two hundred fighting spirit knights soon came to the Morning Veil Territory.
Ye Feng and Alison jumped off their horses.
"Good day, both gentlemen." The guards immediately saluted solemnly.
"Good day."
Alison waved her hand, signaling the guards to return to their posts, and turned to look at Princess Alyosha.
"Your Highness, they are all fighting knights... and there are two divine chosen ones."
The battle maid beside her reminded that all the royal knights were already holding on to the hilts of their swords.
Such military strength was beyond Elyosha's expectation.
"Hello, we adults allow your fleet to dock and repair, and your crew can rest in our territory." Alison said with little luck, "But our army will supervise any behavior that disturbs the people. It’s all forbidden.”
"I can understand." Alyosha nodded. After all, her crew of a thousand people could easily cause trouble due to the chaos.
"That's good, the place here is too small. Please take your people with me to the city, Miss."
Elyosha nodded slightly seriously.
Along the flat road, passing the Blue Water Village built in ruins, everyone arrived at Fengqi Town.
As soon as they arrived at Fengqi Town, Alyosha and the knights were immediately silenced.
There are many windmills, waterwheels, and military camps in the fields. There are arrow towers and watchtowers everywhere. Teams of fighting knights, armored infantry, and giant wolf light cavalry shuttle patrols, all in a hurry. The walls of Starry Night City and Fengqi Town are constantly being raised, and urn cities are also being built.
The boundary of the field of vision is an area with billowing smoke. The same large stone buildings look like a war, but they don't look like it.
"Oh my God, we must have run to the front line."
Alyosha was a little nervous and whispered in the language of her hometown, why are things being built everywhere?
"I'm afraid that the city is full of troops... It seems that the rumors that the Griffin Empire is constantly at war are true." The knights swore, "Don't worry, Princess, we will definitely protect your safety."
"I saw a whole truckload of magic cores and arrows being transported out. There must be a war going on here."
"I hope the city won't be filled with rogue soldiers." The battle maid was very worried.
With an anxious mood, everyone stepped into the city gate of Fengqi Town.
The tone inside is completely different from the outside.
Streets that are so clean that they are unreal, stone streets that are wide enough for four carriages to run parallel, and bright stone houses.
Princess Alyosha had an inexplicable illusion of returning to the streets of the imperial city.
Even the streets of the imperial city, which are roads exclusively used by the royal family, can be kept clean during festivals.
Women carrying baskets can be seen everywhere on the road. The baskets contain ingredients or handicrafts to take home.
But the only thing that hasn't changed is that houses are being built everywhere.
"Her Majesty the Queen announced that she would receive a tax increase of 860,000 yuan at night. Baron Field could not bear to ask the people to increase taxes and paid it out of his own pocket." A boy standing on the stone pier read the newspaper in his hand.
"The territorial army has defeated the Yunmu collar rotting corpse."
"Now Yunmu collar needs coal miners and construction workers. They will work for a month and be paid three times."
This was the first batch of newspapers. Only a few were printed in the territory, and there were not many important news, so students could read them everywhere.
"Oh my God, Lord Baron, please be merciful. God bless you, Lord."
"Damn it, didn't you say you can't collect taxes when you expand territory?"
"Our northern province is originally the territory of the empire. Can it be called development?"
"Your Majesty's new newsboy is really interesting. I never imagined that so many things would happen in the territory while I was busy building a house."
The citizens gathered around the newsboy to eat melon and talked a lot. Some people even mistook it for a clown performance and threw two copper coins.
"Thank you gentlemen, I have to go to school."
After the newsboy finished reading, he picked up the reward and rushed towards the city hall like the wind.
Alyssa's pupils were shaking, and her body was indescribably tingling: "It is indeed a foreign country. This place is completely different from our Windhen Kingdom."
"Aren't you saying that the Griffin Empire is very poor? Why can't I see that..."
Did I really make a mistake? The wealth here is comparable to that of the provincial capital of his own kingdom.
Elyosha doubts life: "I have to meet the lord here."
"Hello, guests from afar." Field got off the carriage.
Field didn't know that it was a princess who came. He only heard that it was a businessman who came, so he didn't go to Tide Village in person.
"Hello."
Alyosha turned around and looked at Field up and down with her brilliant blue eyes. Field wore everyday aristocratic robes without many complicated decorations, looking simple and capable.
"This is our lord." Alison introduced, "Baron Field."
"So young?" Alyssa was surprised. She thought he was the lord's son or grandson. "To give you a brief introduction, I am a businessman from the Windhen Kingdom and also... the daughter of an earl."
"The count's daughter?"
This time it was Field's turn to be surprised. You were surrounded by a bunch of "little golden men" knights and the Chosen Maids, but you were just the daughter of an earl.
The daughter of an earl would often be the wife of a baron in the future.
Field's pressure doubled, and he thought to himself: The Griffin Empire has been corrupt and backward for too long, and foreign countries have become so strong, so terrifying.
"Baron, I need a place to rest." Elosha raised her chin lightly, noble and full of charm,
"It has been arranged. I'm sorry, there is no qualified reception in our territory, so I have to wrong you."
It was impossible for her to stay in the castle, so Field arranged Elosha to the Lord's Palace in Starry Night City.
If she didn't go to work or live there, it would be a waste to leave it empty, so she had to use it as a hotel for a short time.
The first thing Elosha did when she entered the "hotel" was to take a bath to get rid of the unpleasant smell of the sea.
The warm fireplace was warm, Elosha took off her clothes, lay in the bathtub, and immediately squinted her eyes comfortably.
"Your Highness, this is the wine, flower petals, menu and... soap provided by the maid." The battle maid came over with a bunch of things.
"Menu? Soap? What is that?"
Pick up the lamb-white soap, slide it gently on your hand, and immediately light bubbles emerge, and the sticky feeling disappears instantly.
"Interesting little things."
Opening the menu, Ai Liaosha hums a little song from her hometown while taking a bath.
After taking a bath, Ai Liaosha feels that she has lost two pounds and feels very refreshed.
