The seaport and river port city, Yisi City, is a city where even the air seems to have a smell of water vapor.

The city is very large and can be roughly divided into two areas, the new city and the old city. The new city is close to the sea and has a harbor, while the inner side of the old city is bordered by the inland river.

Although both belong to the same city, the scenery of the old and new urban areas is actually different.

Rather, both have their own characteristics.

Yisi City is one of the seven large cities of special strategic significance directly under the jurisdiction of King Lore's royal family.

The development time of the new urban area is relatively short, only more than 30 to [-] years. It is one of the urban areas in the first wave of development planning after the king took office.

The old city is completely different. It has a history of hundreds of years and has always been one of the hubs of water transportation. Although it looks relatively outdated, it actually has a relatively complete development system and old practices.

This has also led to a problem. In the relevant areas of the old city, there are many intertwined forces under the old rules.

Some of the nobles who made their fortunes by water transportation have already settled here, minimizing the possibility here.

On the one hand, it is to put an end to this "control", on the other hand, it is to seek new development.

This is the new layout of the harbor that has been developed for decades.

The seaport in the new urban area is a place that has been refurbished after consideration.

There used to be wharves and ports, but the scale was relatively small, not a large scale. Later, after the king took office, he re-divided the city of Yisi, that is, the surrounding villages near the new urban area were directly assigned to the city of Yisi. And made adjustments to its residents.

After the re-planning, the area of ​​the seaport gradually developed.

Anna is the nominal daughter of the king, the lord of one side, and the princess of one country. This status is very useful in the seven cities directly under the jurisdiction of the strategic significance.

The more straightforward point is that Anna successfully contacted the mayor or acting city lord here, that is, the direct manager of the city administration.

This Mr. Monroe, the lord of the city, is from a local aristocrat, but he belongs to the cutting-edge aristocracy—that is, the aristocrat who relied on the development of the new harbor city. The family is also relatively influential in the local area. The attitude towards Anna is, At least judging from the previous communication, it is quite polite.

Mr. Monroe seems to have a good reputation in the local area at present, but because of the complexity of Yisi City itself, even if he is appointed by the king to manage here, he cannot fully control it, and even has to entangle himself in The strife between old and new nobles.

It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Monroe's wife, Mrs. Monroe, was born in the royal family. Of course, she is not a direct descendant. Considering her seniority, this lady who can barely be called a princess is Anna's elder. Although she is not close to her, she is still It can be said that it is an aunt-nephew relationship.

Everyone stayed in the place of the acting city lord's mansion, and was personally received by the Monroe couple.

Mrs. Monroe is a typical image of a gentle but not close aristocratic lady. Although there is no problem in dealing with people, and she always holds a gentle smile, in fact all emotions are superficial, like a mask Generally, it is firmly imprinted on the face, and it will not show real emotions at all.

As the saying goes, the dignity of the nobility is above all else.

However, because of the nominal aunt-nephew relationship, she still seemed very friendly to Anna.

Anna knew that her identity was relatively "virtuous". At the beginning, many people opposed it. After the queen was exposed as a witch, she became more embarrassing as the queen's daughter.

Fortunately, she already had her own territory, and the direct heir, Princess Maria, was very close to her, and the king didn't mean to blame or vent his anger. This made her look a lot better, and it would not affect her current status. situation.

Later, Anna euphemistically informed Mr. Monroe of her plan, but he did not deny or affirm it, just like all officials who are good at Tai Chi, he just promised that he would put down the notice and the like go.

As a mature big city, Yisi City naturally has its own talent market. He said that he can let them put the recruitment information there, and arrange interviews and recruitment related matters according to their needs, but he doesn’t care about other content. There was no response, and there was still a lack of words. If they didn't recruit any of them, it wasn't his problem.

Later, Mr. Monroe hinted euphemistically that although he is the acting city lord, he and the Monroe family behind him may not be able to completely deal with some old local nobles——

For example, the Hatton family had conflicts with her before, and its patriarch, Baker Hatton, publicly stated that he must make her look good, and once said that their family suffered a loss in Anna's territory Oran, and so on.

Anna smiled knowingly, only reassuring him, and solemnly thanked the other party. It was enough to provide some help.

Thinking about it this way, the Hatton family is the last few families or people behind the caravan who refused to admit that they directly fought with Anna.

Anna insisted on biting off 50 gold coins from them. When they arrived in Is City, the other party would definitely not let her have a good time.

Thinking of this, Anna wasn't very scared, but she was worried that it would affect other people.

"So, you should pay more attention and be careful, I'm afraid they will make some dirty tricks."

"I see." Cinderella nodded.

"As long as we act together, there shouldn't be any major problems." Dorothy's attitude was more peaceful. She was not afraid of challenges at all, and she was even eager to try.

Dorothy's current level has also doubled, many skills have been upgraded, and there are many newly learned skills.

She is a person who can use magic and combat skills at the same time. She has very comprehensive abilities and high prestige, otherwise she would not be able to sit firmly in the position of chief patrol officer.

Dorothy's fighting ability should not be underestimated. At present, there is no one she can't fight except Anna. When she was in Oran, she often practiced and fought.

But it was a serious fight. I don't know if all the problems were solved by Anna. She had never really tried to fight once. She was still very curious about the fighting power of the people here.

Whether it is using magic or directly using weapons to fight, she really wants to try it.

"Speaking of which, I see what you've been drawing recently?"

Cinderella asked.

Dorothy didn't bring much luggage, which was arranged by the maid, and she added some at will at the end.

Cinderella was a little curious about this, especially one of them was very precious to her, like drawing paper that she didn't know was manuscript paper. She specially asked Anna for a very precious and special parchment with magical effects, and it was well done. Very fine.

"Oh, this..."

There was nothing to hide, Cinderella asked, and Dorothy answered.

"Aren't there fairies in our territory?"

There are some goblins on the side of the Beast King in the third area. They are all good at forging weapons. At the same time, they have a lot of ore in their territory, so Dorothy has some other ideas.

"Their forging level is really good. Although they are not the kind of combo skills, each of them has some genuine weapons in forging weapons. In addition, they have been making weapons for adventurers in the third district before."

"Didn't I always want to get a set of my own weapons? In fact, I don't care much about armor and the like, but I want some weapons that are handy. Although long swords are good to use, I was in Anna's before. After calling, I have some other ideas."

"I'll show you." Dorothy took the initiative to take out the things and unfold the drawings.

"This is a design draft that I am still perfecting. I have communicated with the goblins before. I have stayed in the third district for this reason."

"It's a firearm!" Cinderella was surprised.

"Wow, it looks good, and there are magic materials in it?" Anna knows alchemy, but this firecracker, or the first version of the pistol, not only has knowledge of magic and alchemy in it, but also some firearms and ammunition. The physical basis is in it, so Anna can only provide her with a part of the knowledge.

"Yes, that's right!" Dorothy smiled a little more on her face.

"I thought about it for a long time and consulted a lot. Finally, after discussing with the goblin, I finally integrated magic into this firecracker."

"It's a dual mode..." Although Cinderella doesn't understand this, she is smart enough to understand it even when looking at the blueprints. Dorothy's blueprints are very clearly described, and there are some of her thoughts and designs on it. need.

"Magic can be used to fill the ammunition, and some special alchemy materials can also be used as 'bullets'. Of course, in the normal mode, gunpowder is used as bullets."

"I knew you could do it!" Anna was also very delicate and admired.

"It's not that exaggerated." Dorothy smiled and said bluntly, "I really consulted a lot of people about this thing, whether it's an ordinary blacksmith, a witch who knows alchemy, or just ask Anna or someone who is about to forge this The goblin...it took several months to finally figure out the first version of this firecracker."

"Isn't it finished yet?" Cinderella remembered that Dorothy sometimes used a pen to do calculations.

"Yes, I feel that the stability of the material is not so good. Although the general structure of the firecracker is out, the weapon that has been fired so far..." Dorothy flipped her wrist, took it out from the space and put it in a box. initial product.

As chief executives, both Dorothy and Cinderella have special space rings or bracelets given by Anna, which are very convenient to equip important items.

However, when traveling, you will still carry some luggage. After all, your wealth is not exposed, and space equipment is very rare and rare.

"I'll show you..." Dorothy showed it to the two people, "This firecracker that was just built based on this blueprint was tested just before, and I came back after finishing it."

"This... To be honest, it is a semi-finished product or a failure. On the one hand, the conversion between the two modes is very slow, that is, after using the first bullet and then filling it with magic, there will be a problem of 'sensitivity'. On the other hand, the number of bullets it can use is also very limited. The ideal state is to be able to shoot at least [-] to [-] rounds stably, but at present, it is basically a situation where severe fever occurs after using a dozen or so rounds and cannot continue to be used. ..."

"Is it a material problem?" Anna thought for a while, "Look back and see if there is a better stability."
