Chapter 408 Deja Vu
“Is this the Northwest Bay?”
At the dock of Fulan Port, a group of people dressed as merchants got off the merchant ship. The leader was a woman. When she saw The merchant ships lined up in the port, and the porters were so busy, they sighed like this.
"Sister Sevia, it looks pretty good here."
A child who looked to be in his teens looked left and right with excitement on his face.
This group of people is none other than Servia Asitini and others from Cape Bay. There are 10 people in their group, 4 men and 6 women.
After the Esoteric Society promised to provide help, many people in the refuge camp were willing to join the Esoteric Society to seek asylum, while others returned to the private sector because the hunt for wizards was suspended along the coast of Cape Bay. Hidden away, the remaining people accepted Sylvia's proposal after repeated discussions and crossed the ocean to the northwest bay.
"Logins, don't run away!"
A gray-haired, older man reached out to grab the boy who was about to have fun, turned to Sylvia and said: "Ah Miss Sidney, let’s wait for you at the dock first.”
“Okay, Old Odd, don’t let everyone run around. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
Old Odd was on good terms with everyone in his party, and Sylvia was relieved to leave her companions to him. She pulled up her hood and walked quickly eastward.
After asking several passers-by, Sylvia came to the door of a warehouse and shouted: "Is Mr. McKinley here?"
Now When the busy workers heard her strange Aldo language, they all focused their attention.
"Miss, do you have anything to do with Mr. McKinley?"
"Yes, please inform me that a person named Assitini is looking for him. .”
After a while, Liszt's colleague McKinley trotted up to Sevia.
"Welcome, this beautiful lady must be Miss Sevia."
Sevia smiled and nodded to him, "Hello, Mr. McKinley, I am It’s me.”
“Haha, I received Liszt’s letter two weeks ago. I didn’t expect that he could introduce so many alchemists to settle in the Northwest Bay. ‘Higher talents’ like you... ...Oh, the earl will definitely reward him with a large sum of money when he finds out."
"You are overly flattering."
"I have followed the instructions in the letter and helped you find a store and accommodation. The price is absolutely fair and reasonable. And it is in a neighborhood where Jiaowan people live, so you will definitely feel like you are back home."
< br>"That's great, Liszt said that as long as I ask you, there will be no problem."
Sevia took out a small bag from her arms, and there was a clear sound of metal collision inside.
"This is our small kindness to reward you for your hard work these days."
McKinley quickly shied away: "How can this be embarrassing, since you are Liszt's friends? , that is, my friend, it is necessary to help you.”
"We will have a lot of trouble for you in the future, please accept it."
"Hey! Then I'm sorry."
After some negotiation, Mai Jin Lai took the bag with some embarrassment. A bump of weight, wow! Is the alchemist so rich?
Soon he and Sevia went to the pier to find the others and visited the selected store.
The group was very satisfied and immediately made a deal with the original owner.
"Ah, we finally have a decent place to settle down."
Old Odd found a chair and sat down, feeling comfortable all over. Living at sea for nearly a month was really a big punishment for an elderly person like him.
"Mr. McKinley." After the friends found a place to rest, Sevia pulled McKinley aside.
“I heard people on the street talking about the ‘switching ceremony’. What is going on?”
"Oh, you're talking about this. Did you know that our lord, Lord Paul Grainman, established a customs union with four other neighboring lords? Naturally, there will be no tariffs between the members of this alliance. From now on, everyone The exchange of goods will be more convenient. This ceremony will be held three days later, near the border between southern Arda and Larnaca, when the customs union will be officially announced.”
"Really?" Sevia understood. She already knew a lot about the Northwest Gulf Customs Union, because Liszt kept talking about it every day.
Perhaps I should go see this ceremony and tell it to Liszt later.
……
Three days later, she finally got her wish.
At the junction of Arda and Larnaca, colorful flags were fluttering. On both sides of the checkpoint roadblock, in addition to circles of people, there were carriages one after another, and the carriages were loaded with various goods. .
The five lords walked onto a makeshift podium and delivered brief speeches one after another.
According to Liszt’s daily description, Sevia recognized Count Paul Grayman standing in the middle. He was really young.
"Gentlemen, from now on the checkpoints between the territories in the alliance will no longer be an obstacle to trade! I declare that we will remove them!"
In the end, it was Paul Gray. Mann concluded, and with his order, the barricades that still stretched across the road were moved aside by a group of people.
"Long live!"
There were cheers after cheers from both sides of the level.
Amidst the bustle of people, merchants on both sides drove their carriages to the opposite side to sell their goods. Although they usually take this route, today's ceremony is of great significance.
Soon the junction turned into a temporary market. People walked around, choosing their favorite products, and many minstrels were performing, creating a festive atmosphere.
In accordance with the ancient tradition, business representatives also ran to the podium to offer grain to the lords, and the lords accepted it with a smile.
Sevia stood far away on the roadside, looking at the young Earl Grayman on the stage, wanting to observe the difference between this lord who was admired by Liszt. According to Liszt, what happened in the Northwest Gulf in recent years All the changes were brought about by this magical lord.
But gradually, she was attracted by a person next to the count.
More precisely, a woman.
The dress of a scholar, the wide-brimmed peaked hat on his head, and the long emerald green hair under the hat.
It’s unmistakable. Although I can’t see the face clearly, all the other features point to a certain person in my memory.
"Sir, who is the woman dressed as a scholar next to Count Grayman?"
She asked in a low voice to the people watching the excitement around her.
"Are you talking about Miss Ladi Setia? Oh, she is not just a simple person, she is a political official in charge of education under our lord. Oh my, she is young, a woman, and she is from a role. A foreigner from Taiwan can be entrusted with important tasks by the lord. I really hope that my daughter can be so successful when she grows up." The person who answered looked hopeful.
But his words made Sevia feel like she was struck by lightning.
“From Cape Bay?”
She muttered these words repeatedly.
Is that you?
The Blue Witch.
