Chapter 228 Visit by the City Lord of Shuizhu Harbor

Shuizhu Port, a large port near the sea.

A large sailboat was parked at the port side, and rows of lion men on the shore wore light armor and held their long swords high, forming a solemn farewell ceremony.

The priest of Shuizhugang stood on a high platform made of wood. The wooden pillars were covered with mysterious symbols, and the face of the priest of Shuizhugang himself was also painted with green symbols.

He opened his mouth and sang words of unknown meaning, seeing off the city lord.

The city lord is a big lion man with a thick and huge beard, which hangs down to his chest.

The city owner of Shuizhu Harbor is an earl, and he is 34 years old. As a nobleman, he is also an awakened lion.

In the Lionheart Kingdom, the orthodox nobles are very strict with their own heirs, and the first hard condition for taking charge of the family is awakening.

If the talent of the clan cannot be awakened, the elders of the clan will defer the power to the younger heirs.

After the 1-minute farewell song ended, the priest reminded from the high platform: "My lord, the Lord of Tomorrow City is not a kind person, so be careful."

"I know it in my heart." Earl Waterdrop wore an open coat, revealing his strong chest muscles and the thick chest hair in the middle of the muscles.

After a long time, the four ships went south along the coastline, arrived at the mouth of the sea, and then turned north.

After Earl Shuizhu got on the boat, he stood at the forefront of the boat, facing the sea wind blowing, opening his chest even more.

"My lord, why did you go to Tomorrow City to sign a business contract? You just need to send a representative there." The lion man, the earl's confidant, was puzzled.

Earl Shuizhu didn't answer his question. Instead, he looked at the blue sea and said with a smile, "Have you seen this sea?"

The confidant looks at the sea, which is blue, the sky and the sea surface are in contrasting colors, sea fish are churning on the sea surface, white seagulls are flying high on the sea surface, and sometimes flying around the boat.

"It's beautiful." The confidant didn't know what to say, so he just said it was beautiful.

"Yes, the sea is beautiful, but you have to know, if we don't do that, I'm afraid we won't live for a year."

The confidant was stunned, and instantly understood the meaning of the city lord, "Is it because of Tomorrow City, but is it really that strong? Half a year ago, it was just a mining village in the kingdom."

This middle-aged lion man had a bad impression of Datie Village, because he had been to that mining village last year to purchase minerals.

Later, the interests of the iron mine in Morning Glory Town were implicated, and he engaged in a two-day wrangling.

Now Datie Village is no longer a small village, but a large city with a population of over [-].

Swarming up the population will bring great troubles to the city. The confidant Lion believes that the manager of Tomorrow City is not capable of managing the rapidly developing city. After all, the other party is too young, only 19 or [-] years old, and has little experience. .

"Although I don't believe that the former Great Iron Village can develop to this point in half a year, but I believe in my intuition." After finishing this sentence, the count stopped talking, but felt the sea breeze blowing quietly. Make advanced.

……

a day later.

The fleet of Shuizhu Harbor arrived near Tomorrow City, turned right and entered the channel, and the river banks on both sides gradually closed inward.

Compared with the Grand Canal, it is much narrower here.

The orc on the mast gazed into the distance and reported loudly: "My lord, Tomorrow City has arrived."

Earl Waterdrop pushed the captain's cabin away, half-closed his eyes, and looked at the bright sky.

After adjusting to the afternoon light, a greyish-white cement port came into view.

"what is that?"

It was the first time Earl Shuizhu came to Tomorrow City. He had heard of cement, but he had never seen the real thing.

The confidant didn't know what it was either. He had been to the Great Iron Village, but he hadn't been to Tomorrow City.

He didn't understand, but someone on the boat understood. He turned around and pulled people on the boat, and pulled over the salted fish merchant who had been to Tomorrow City.

The salted fish merchant wiped his sweat and said, "My lord, that is cement. It is a unique building material in Tomorrow City. There is no way to produce cement in other places."

Earl Shuizhu hummed softly, and Copper Bell stared at the cement port with big eyes, seeing two sails docked on the shore, and wooden boards connecting the ship and the port.

The orcs dragged their goods, people came and went, and the soles of their feet stepped on the solid concrete floor, which didn't feel muddy at all.

After a while, Earl Shuizhu's ship docked.

On the river bank, a large number of orcs in green uniforms suddenly appeared. They were straight, with steel black guns on their backs, serious eyes, and uniform steps, which made the orcs on the boat nervous.

Looking at the situation, it seems that the comer is not good?
Fortunately, the orcs in Tomorrow City didn't draw their guns. They stopped at the port and lined up, with their hands behind their backs, without saying a word.

A short orc stood up and communicated with the orcs in Shuizhu Harbor.

After a while, Earl Shuizhu also knew of Ivan's existence.

"Isn't Lord Allen here yet?"

"Castile Lord Allen is still on the way, please let me check whether you are carrying dangerous items, so as not to kill allies by mistake." Ivan was neither humble nor overbearing, and his sharp temperament made the earl sullen.

The confidant next to him became even more violent, and opened his mouth to curse people directly.

"Is this the hospitality etiquette of Tomorrow City? Why are you so rude!"

After his confidant finished swearing, Ivan's expression remained unchanged, as unwavering as a stone, as if he guessed that the other party would swear.

"Okay, I accept the inspection by Tomorrow City, but please give the nobles the dignity they deserve, and don't be too rude." Earl Shuizhu shook his hand, signaling his confidants to shut up and prevent the situation from escalating.

Earl Shuizhu is not a reckless person, and Ivan will not chill the hearts of his business partners. He immediately nodded to the earl, "I will be responsible for this security check, and try to be as light as possible."

They didn't check many things. In this era of cold weapons, firearms are still under research in Wangcheng, and it is almost impossible for the Shuizhu Port fleet to have firearms.

After searching for 10 minutes, no dangerous items were found, and the sword-controlled items were only allowed to be carried by the count's ten bodyguards, and no other orcs could carry them.

After being inspected by the orcs in green uniforms, the earl felt angry and wanted to hit someone.

With such an attitude, Tomorrow City has absolutely no sincerity for business cooperation.

Earl Shuizhu was very disappointed and wondered if his judgment was wrong.

Logically speaking, to lead a poor village to grow into a large city with a population of tens of thousands, its leaders should be open-minded, generous and polite.

"I'm very sorry, it took a while for the security check. Let's go to Tomorrow City together now. Master Alan has prepared distilled wine and a barbecue feast." Ivan apologized and led the way forward.

"What is distilled alcohol?" The count didn't understand.

"As soon as you drink it, you will know that distilled wine is definitely stronger, stronger and more exciting than the alcohol on the market." Ivan kept smiling, but he had never drunk distilled wine before.

Earl Shuizhu looked at the salted fish merchant, "Did you know?"

"My lord, the little ones have never drank it. Distilled alcohol is a new product in tomorrow's bar, and outsiders have no chance to drink it." The salted fish merchant shook his head quickly.
