Release that Witch - Chapter 439

[Chapter 432 Encounter]

Since this trip was going quietly, naturally no one would greet them.

Therefore, Otto didn’t intend to go straight to the castle from the very beginning. No words can be as true as what he saw with his own eyes. He planned to spend a day or two to observe the prince’s territory carefully, and then find out about it with the local mice. information.

After stepping out of the cabin, he was shocked by the scene before him as soon as he stepped onto the trestle bridge.

Is this… a pier for a Far Lands?

Within a few hundred steps along the river bank, there are pier areas made of reddish-brown bricks and stones. There is a trestle bridge every other distance, and a sign is erected at the connection between the trestle bridge and the pier, with the serial number written on it.

Otto roughly counted them, and there were twenty-six in total—they were neatly arranged, like tentacles extending from the shore, some were covered with snow, and some had yellow-brown wooden boards exposed, which indicated that Even in the Moon of Demons, the town’s docks are still guarded.

On the other hand, the canal wharf in the royal capital of Graycastle is less than half of the length and number of trestles here!

But what surprised him even more was the boats docked by the pier.

A gray wide-body boat that has never been seen before is lined up and docked not far ahead.

There were seven or eight of them, and the waterline was very shallow, with no sails or masts in sight, and the size of the hulls did not seem to be able to be moved by oarsmen.

The most unique thing about these strange ships is that there are huge wooden wheels on each side and a thick iron pipe protruding from the center. The shape is different from any river sailing ship.

Otto watched from the sidelines for a long time, until a chill came from the top of his head, and he didn’t want to understand how these weird “ships” could move.

After patting off the snow on his head, he put away his doubts and decided to follow the crew into the town first.

Obviously, the “Shunfeng” ship from Wangdu will not only transport himself alone. Otto saw the crew unloading bags of goods from the sailboat and stacking them on the side of the pier.

Several guards in black uniforms recorded something with a pen and paper, and picked out two bags from time to time to check, as if they were inspecting the goods.

“Who are they? The mercenaries invited by the buyer?” Otto walked to the captain.

“Huh, mercenaries?” the latter grinned, “These people are the patrol members of Border Town.”

He couldn’t help being taken aback, patrol team?

Isn’t that the same as running into a gang of robbers?

When I left the inner city of the capital for the first time, I was blackmailed by patrol members for two silver wolves, and this situation is similar everywhere—they are the opposite of underground mice, but their work is almost the same as that of mice. The problem is that they charge more and often take money for nothing.

But what surprised Otto was that the captain was smoking a pipe leisurely, and didn’t intend to stop them from checking, nor did he take out a few silver wolves to tell them to leave quickly.

“I thought the same as you when I first came here,” the captain seemed to see his thoughts, “The patrols here are different, as long as you follow their rules, you don’t need to pay any fees before entering the market. ”

Patrol’s…rules?

Otto frowned. Did even the robbers make sense in this place? Moreover, they also knew how to record with pen and paper. Although they were probably just crooked symbols, it was incredible enough.

“What are they recording?” he asked.

“The type and quantity of the goods… especially the wheat,” the captain spread his hands, “you need to check it after it arrives at the market, so as to prevent you from selling the grain to others on the way—here, the food can only be sold by the lord. Of course, I There is no wheat in the goods, so the inspection will be faster.”

When all the cloth bags were loaded onto the wagon train, the group left the pier and headed for the market along the wide street, Otto suddenly found that his eyesight was not enough.

Is this really the most remote territory of the Kingdom of Graycastle?

Looking at the flat hard road under his feet, the rows of neat and beautiful houses along the street, and the people coming and going, it is not much worse than the city of Glory, the capital of dawn.

As a nobleman, it is not that he has never seen magnificent and magnificent buildings. Whether it is the Dawn Spire or the Reflecting Sun Auditorium, these two-story or three-story buildings cannot compare.

However, there is only one Dawn Tower, and under it, dilapidated houses are still surrounded, and muddy trails and sewage can be seen everywhere.

But here, he couldn’t find a slightly old house, as if these residences all popped up at the same time.

“You look surprised,” the captain laughed loudly. “Don’t worry, every newcomer will show your expression. I have to say that Border Town is a magical place. Seeing the third floor over there Is there a

building? I didn’t have it when I came last time.”

“I heard that… this place used to be a stronghold for mining.”

“That’s what I heard too, but who knows the truth,” he said Picked his nose, “You know, some rumors spread too much, and they will always become unrecognizable. Maybe there is a lot of gold hidden in the mine on the north slope, so His Majesty the King sent his son here… After all, he is his own son. It

’s right.”

“Wait, what’s that?!” When passing through a flat square, Otto suddenly saw two huge colored balls floating side by side in mid-air, with a pair of banners hanging below them, and a pair of banners on the top of the cloth. There are also eye-catching words, “Welcome to Border Town” on one side, and “Join now to get citizenship benefits” on the other side.

“Are you asking about the one above or the one below?” the captain Nunuzui said, “I don’t know how they got that flying ball up there, as for the one below…you can go to the east end of the square to find out the situation, there are often The lord’s notice will be posted, and this banner is to attract travelers, businessmen, and refugees from all over the world.”

“They even want refugees?” Otto asked in surprise, “What are citizen benefits?”

“It can be done here .

Applying for a job, providing subsidized food for the first two months, and getting a shelter from the wind and rain, sounds good, right?” The captain explained disapprovingly, “It’s not that easy to approve, several of my crew members are Tried it, and none of them passed – the lord requires no dissent, no belief in the church, and no criminal experience. And stealing is a crime, my God, which sailor hasn’t stolen? Also, in my opinion, here despite It looks quite prosperous, but in fact there are many shortcomings.”

“For example?”

“There are too few places to have fun. There are no casinos, no brothels, and there aren’t even stray warblers on the street,” he spit

. On the north side of the square, while the captain and his party were going to deliver goods, Otto decided to take a stroll here alone.

According to the other party’s introduction, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com can see a lot of strange goods in the convenience market here and the boutique market on the other side, and the fact is the same, from eggs to dried fish, common clothes to farm tools, there are a wide variety of goods. The goods are filled with rows of stands, and as long as you stay in front of the stall for a while, someone will come up and talk.

Regardless of the outcome of the talks with the fourth prince, he has already been firmly attracted by this town.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.

He turned his head and found two women walking towards this side.

One person wore a long black ponytail and was also wearing a black robe. He had good features, but his cold expression made it hard to approach.

But the other person is completely different. Her expression is gentle, and her every move reveals elegance and calmness, which makes people think of the warm spring breeze.

The swaying bright blonde hair is even more like the light of the morning sun.

Otto felt his blood boil when he saw the blond woman.

His hands trembled slightly, and he rubbed his eyes repeatedly, making sure that he was right—

“Andrea Quinn!” Unable to hold back his excitement any longer, he couldn’t help shouting.
