AWB Chapter 324 Guests
Chapter 324 Guests
The two survivors of the old empire were wandering in the streets. Seeing that Cassius was following behind him, Lucanus had no intention of collecting any secret intelligence. Moreover, for Lucanus, the current situation of the Royal City of Anjou was the best information.
Population, prices, number of factories, these mundane things are actually the focus of Lucanus's attention.
Thanks to the influx of production equipment from the north, the economy and industry of the Royal City of Anjou prospered greatly in a short period of time. There were more and more people on the road, but most of them were busy workers.
Lucanus saw a worker and a very young child walking hurriedly, so he stopped them, squatted down and asked: "Hello, children, what are you going to do?"
The child had a ladder taller than him and some tools hanging on his body, and his face was covered in dust and dirt, but when he saw the candy handed to him by Lucanus, he still grinned.
The worker with the child was very dissatisfied. Seeing that the child was stopped by Lucanus, he said anxiously: "Don't block the way, we still have to clean the chimney for the Count!"
But when the worker saw Cassius behind Lucanus, his attitude softened. Although he did not know Cassius, in Anjou, where the hierarchy was strict, he knew that Cassius was not someone to be trifled with just by looking at the clothes he was wearing.
"Sir, we are going to clean the chimney for the Earl. Please don't interfere with our work."
"Oh? Do you mean that such a young child has to follow you to clean the chimney?"
After Lucanus handed the candy he had with him to the child, he performed magic for the child like a professional jester while asking questions to the workers around the child.
Since what Lucanus asked was not confidential, Cassius did not step forward to stop him.
"Yes, only such a young child is suitable to go in and clean the chimney."
Lucanus nodded, still with a smile that seemed to be carved on his face. He pretended to think for a moment and asked, "But I remember that there are special tools for cleaning chimneys in the North. Isn't there any here?"
The workers saw that Lucanus's clothes did not look like those of a local, and he kept saying "Northern Territory", which was a name only used in Capet. So they guessed that Lucanus might be a merchant from the northern territory of Capet who hooked up with the nobles of Anjou and wanted to do business. So they explained, "Sir, there were merchants who sold that thing before, but no one bought it here."
"Those chimney cleaning tools in Cape North are indeed very convenient, but sir, it would be cheaper to let the children go in and clean them."
"If you buy a few batches of children, the money you earn might be enough to buy a set of equipment in the North."
After listening to the worker's explanation, Lucanus showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "Oh, that's how it is. Thank you very much, brother. Otherwise, I might have gone bankrupt."
Hearing what Lucanus said, the worker also waved his hand enthusiastically and said, "No need to thank me, this is what I should do. But I am curious, don't you have children in Cape? Why do you bother to make these tools?"
The worker did not get an answer, and Lucanus did not stop the worker. Instead, he apologized for delaying the other party, and finally waved goodbye to the child next to the worker.
"Cassius."
Facing the direction where the workers and children were leaving, Lucanus asked Cassius: "Is our hometown like this too?"
"I can't remember, Lucanus. History books don't record these things. I can't remember them anymore..."
......
Caron has been summoned more and more frequently by Alberto recently, but fortunately Alberto has no intention of following the tower's warning and sending Caron back.
Karon was not surprised by this result. Although Karon was also very curious about what his colleagues had done in the eastern part of Cape, at least the super-level magic was successfully launched and helped the demons to successfully occupy the eastern part, which was enough.
Although the tower's ban has gradually been issued, Kallon believes that no human can truly resist this temptation, not to mention that this is not a temptation, but a threat.
There are even some small countries on this continent that are planning to make the most of their small size to gain a bigger advantage. As long as they can create super-level magic, they will have the capital to challenge these big countries.
As for how the Tower will treat those countries that come into contact with super-level magic, why would the Avar Kingdom care?
However, in order to avoid the limelight recently, Alberto still gave Caron a vacation. Caron also took this opportunity to go to the port to meet an old friend from the Avar Kingdom.
"Oris has been confirmed dead. The demons only said that Oris accidentally got himself involved when he was using super-level magic, and asked His Majesty the King to send two more people who can use super-level magic."
While waiting, the professional next to Caron was telling him the information he had received recently.
As to whether Oris really died because of his lack of skills, it is not important, because thanks to the death of Oris, the Avar Kingdom gained an important landing port.
And it seems that the Avar Kingdom seems to be interested in developing in-depth cooperation with the demons.
"As for Altan, there has been no news for a long time. He seems to have forgotten his mission."
Judging from the subsequent establishment of interconnected stations between the Tower and the Northern Territory of Capet, Altan was probably in danger, but judging from Altan’s previous posts on WeChat Moments, he might be living a better life than anyone else now.
As for other small countries, the Avar Kingdom does not care about their attitude towards super-level magic, but cares more about the extent to which its guests have infiltrated these small countries.
Just as the two were discussing the current situation on the mainland, a passenger ship that could be described as dazzling with golden light docked at the port. The giant dragon statue made of pure gold on the bow of the ship shone brightly and dazzlingly under the reflection of the sun.
As the stairs were laid down from the boat, an old man with white hair and wearing a black windbreaker came down from the boat. There were several obvious scars on the old man's face, and he looked fierce, as if he looked down on everything in this world.
Alberto did not open the port to the Avar Kingdom, but he was not so stingy as to not open it to the other party's small boats that brought guests. This old man had just rushed over from the dock in Anjou.
"It's a really barren land, but in terms of the concentration of magic power, it's not bad..."
The old man looked around and muttered to himself before looking at Caron and the other two.
"I heard that you haven't dealt with the king of this country yet?"
The substantial pressure was put on Caron, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
"My lord, the people on this continent are more rational than you might think. Apart from the demons, no one has used super-level magic yet. But I believe that the king of this country will be here soon."
The old man seemed uninterested in Caron's answer, and continued to ask: "Which of the two countries you mentioned is the descendant of the original country?"
"Both...both consider themselves the successors of the old empire..."
"Humph, what a crap old empire, he's lucky he didn't fall into my hands!"
There was resentment in the old man's voice, which made Karon and the other man unable to raise their heads due to his powerful aura.
"If you ask me, why bother to scheme so much? Since we already have a port, we can just land and storm it! Destroy these two countries together, and then go find those elves, find that tower, and settle accounts with my former tribesmen!"
The old man seemed to have a long-standing grudge and started chattering as soon as he stepped onto this land, but Caron could only lie on the ground and bow his head.
"I heard that my former tribesmen have set up a Shining Gold Merchant Alliance. It's so funny. The dragons have actually started to do business with humans. In my opinion, they have been domesticated by humans!"
