Chapter 100 The North Frozen Harbor

Just after the New Year, the cold winter still enveloped the entire Synes continent. £∝,

The Marlow Empire is located in the northern part of the continent. In winter every year, it is naturally colder than the various countries in the southern part of the continent.

The small town of Stasom, located in the northernmost part of the Marlow Empire, is not just a colder problem compared to other places on the mainland, but is almost completely different from two worlds.

The cold wind blowing from the endless sea in the north can only be regarded as a breeze when entering the south wind of the mainland, making people feel a little chill. When facing this cold wind in the small town of Stantam, you will find that the wind blows on your face, just like a sharp blade blowing on your face, making people's face sting.

"Silk"

A cold wind came towards him, causing Hogan and Decardo to gasp involuntarily. They couldn't help but wrap the fur coat wrapped around them tighter again, and their necks shrank. Even the eyes that were only exposed outside could not help but squint, leaving only a gap to look north.

"Hey, Decardo, you said it was such a cold day. Even if we meet with the people in the transport fleet, how should we transport the goods back?" Hogan's voice through the mask seemed extremely dull, and it felt a little strange when he stepped into Decardo's ears.

But of course this is not the issue that Dikado is concerned about at this time. He glanced at the sea surface where there was no trace in the distance, shook his head with a wry smile.

"I can only take one step at a time. Who told the guys in the transport fleet to not follow the plan at all, and it was more than two months later than the scheduled time. If they arrived more than two months ago, the weather would be much easier."

Hogan was silent for a moment and sighed, "It's not their fault. After all, they came from a place so far away from Stantin. They walked around the entire continent. The journey was so long and the sea was so complicated, so it was inevitable that some emergencies would be encountered in the middle. To be honest, it was already very amazing that they could arrive safely."

"Well... that's true."

Dicardo responded and looked at the Steinsom Harbour, which appeared in sight in the distance.

This port was originally the largest seaport in the north of the Marlow Empire. After the New Flight Chamber of Commerce and the Marlow Empire signed an agreement last year, it invested three million gold coins for renovation and expansion, building this place into a new seaport that can accommodate large ships to moor.

The fleet of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, led by Neval, was sent last year to explore the northern waters. It is based on this harbor as its destination.

According to the plan, the first fleet of the New Air Chamber of Commerce transport fleet led by Neval should have arrived around October last year.

At that time, the Marlow Empire was still in early winter and the weather was still normal.

However, the First Fleet was delayed at sea for more than two months, and even lost contact at one point, which almost made the New Air Flight Chamber of Commerce think that something happened to them and they were all buried in the endless sea.

Fortunately, the two magic airships sent to them for safety reasons played a great role at this time. In mid-last month, about half a month after the fleet lost contact, a magic airship flew to the territory of Marquis Southgate, bringing the fleet's message.

After receiving the message, Hogan, who served as the director of the New Air Chamber of Commerce's Marlow Empire office, and Decardo, who was also the main liaison officer, immediately organized a manpower and a convoy and arrived in Stantolme.

After they arrived here, they waited for more than half a month, and maintained close contact with the fleet every day through magic airships. Finally, they obtained the confirmed information three days ago that the fleet would arrive in Stantam today safely.

So although the wind was cold today and the temperature outside was almost frozen to death, the two of them left the warm bed early in the morning and came to the port of Stantam.

After observing the Steinsom Harbour for a while, Dicardo let out a gentle breath.

"Fortunately, I was worried before that as the weather got colder, the harbor might be completely frozen and could not stop. Now it seems that no matter how cold the weather is, it is impossible to completely freeze the Endless Sea."

Hogan laughed when he heard this: "We were completely scared by the rumors about these guys in the Marlow Empire. They said that as long as winter enters, the Endless Sea will freeze and there is no way to go out to sea. I thought they were talking about the entire sea surface, but now when I see it, there is ice, but it is nothing."

"We can't say they were completely wrong. After all, the fishermen here are just small wooden boats. They may fall apart if they are floating ice cubes on the sea." Dicardo laughed. "When they see the steel sea boats of our New Flight Chamber of Commerce with their own eyes, they will know that such a small amount of ice is not a problem."

Hogan shrugged: "There's no way, who has made them lose their knowledge? When the fleet arrived, these guys would be surprised to see the various magical machinery produced by our Chamber of Commerce brought by the fleet."

Decardo and Hogan looked at each other and laughed.

Before they arrived at the Maro Empire, they felt a sense of fear and deep inferiority complex for this huge empire. However, when they actually came to the Maro Empire and stayed here for half a year, they found that in addition to the large area of ​​the Maro Empire, the other places were much worse than the Lambari Kingdom and the Principality of Stantin.

Most of the people who usually come into contact with the two are nobles and merchants of the Malo Empire. These people are undoubtedly the top group in the Malo Empire, and their lives are indeed extremely luxurious.

However, in the eyes of Dicardo and Hogan, although their lives are luxurious enough, they seem very backward in every aspect, so that they will find it inconvenient to live in all aspects here.

After staying here for half a year, not only did the awe of this huge empire completely disappear, but even a trace of inexplicable superiority emerged.

The Marquis of Southgide and the great noble merchants around him made them feel superior, not to mention the noble merchants in the small town of Stantosom.

During this half month in Stantam, all the nobles and merchants they came into contact with left them with a very strong impression of the unsightly slut.

Of course, the living conditions of these guys are even worse than those of many farmers in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Stantin.

At least the peasants of the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Stantin would not seem happy to eat meat...

The two of them waited patiently for about twenty minutes, and a familiar roar suddenly came from the distant sky.

The two of them looked up together and saw a black shadow flying from the northwest sky, quickly approaching, turning into a magic airship, and then slowly falling down on the flat ground at the port of Stantamsom.

"By the way, Hogan, you said that the wind is so strong now, why is this magic airship still so stable in the sky? Don't you find it strange?" Dicardo suddenly asked.

Huo Genlai was about to walk over, but after hearing this question, he was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought for a while, and shook his head: "I'm not from the Magic Research Institute and R&D Center, ask me how I know."

"That's right." Dicardo shrugged. "Go and ask Captain Yoon later."

The two of them walked quickly towards the magic airship, and the cabin door of the magic airship was also opened. Captain Ian, the magic airship mentioned by Dicardo, jumped down from above, came to the two of them a few steps, and shouted: "Supervisor Hogan, the fleet can withstand this place within an hour at most. Please make all preparations immediately!"

Hogan nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he didn't say anything nonsense, turned around and arranged the staff that had been prepared long ago, and began to make some final preparations to welcome the arrival of the fleet.

In fact, they have already arranged these preparations within half a month. What needs to be done now is just to confirm them again.

The stayed Dikado and Captain Ian communicated with each other on some specific situations.

The content of their conversation was mainly focused on whether the fleet had any special needs such as supplies, corrections, etc., and then they had to re-confirm the arrangements after the fleet arrived.

For example, according to the plan, after the fleet arrives, it will first unload the goods at the port of Stantamsom, and then now the first sale of Stantamsom and surrounding cities will be made. Then, depending on the situation, it will decide how many people will bring to the hinterland of the Marlow Empire.

Although this maritime route, which has been successfully explored for nearly four months, will also have exchanges with the coastal countries passing along the way, its main task is to connect the New Flight Chamber of Commerce and the Maro Kingdom, and finally connect it with the land trade route directly to the Maro Empire of the Principality of Stantin to form a complete business district.

After the two chatted for a while, Dicardo suddenly thought of the question he had thought of inadvertently, and asked Captain Ian.

"Keep stable flight at high altitude?" Captain Yoon laughed and waved his hand, "Supervisor Decardo, wouldn't you think these problems would be impossible for those magicians from the Magic Academy?"

"No, no, I certainly think they will think of it, but I can't figure it out. It's clear that the wind is so strong, why can the magic airship fly so smoothly?"

"Well... Actually, there is an aerodynamic balance device on the Magic Airship. Don't ask me what this thing is, because I don't know. I only know that whenever I encounter strong winds in high altitude, I can turn on this aerodynamic balance device, and then it can offset a large part of the strong wind and keep the magic airship stable in high altitude."

"So magical?" Dicardo blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and guessed: "The magic airship relies on wind magic to fly in the air. So this aerodynamic balance device must be a kind of wind magic, right?"

Captain Ian rolled his eyes: "Don't ask me, I just know how to use it, I don't need to know the principle."

Dikado thought for a while but still couldn't figure out the principle, so he could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, even the people in the Chamber of Commerce can understand these things produced by our Chamber of Commerce. I see, those guys outside the Chamber of Commerce want to imitate them at will, but they are just dreaming!" (To be continued...)
