Joshua sat in a carriage, opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at both sides.
This carriage was "borrowed" by Joshua from the skeleton man. The driver was Zenas at first, but after entering the human world, Joshua hired a villager to serve as the driver. Zenasliu Stand by in Duke Bone's territory.
It took about three days for the carriage to finally get out of the mountains and forests blocked by heavy snow, and the number of pedestrians on this road gradually increased.
"Is Nolan's traffic all that large?"
Qiao Xiu watched the people passing by on the road. There were many carriages with luxurious decorations that did not seem to belong to the commoners. Along the way, Qiao Xiu also saw many caravans carrying goods.
Just from the view from this road, Joshua can already imagine how prosperous Nolan is.
"People flow? I think they are messengers from various countries, Mr. Qiao Xiu, didn't you come to Nolan from other countries specifically to participate in the 'World Exposition' two months later?"
Marina and Ino sat opposite Joshua. As a qualified businesswoman, she quickly guessed the meaning of some strange words in Joshua's mouth.
The businesswoman glanced at the caravan outside the window, and remembered that her goods had vanished half a month ago, and she couldn't help sighing.
"No... I'm just visiting a friend in Nolan with Ciri, but maybe I'll be at the expo."
Joshua remembers the name, and there are similar gatherings on earth. The United Kingdom held the first "World Industrial Exposition" in the Victorian period in 1851. At that time, when the sun never set, the Empire England invited all countries in the world to participate in this exposition. .
"Although it's a little hot, can Mr. Joshua reveal what you want to show? Of course if it's inconvenient..."
Marina immediately smelled something called business opportunity.
Since Nolan promulgated a law called "Patent Law" 30 years ago, the magicians in Nolan's country have realized that the improvement of their own power cannot change the world at all. Many aspiring magicians They began to study the manufacture of magic machinery, and a kind of place called "Alchemy Workshop" has arisen throughout the country.
This has also led to Nolan's already world-leading position in magic research taking another big step forward.
Of course, this small country based on students and teachers cannot be compared with the vast surrounding countries, so Nolan has always been in a neutral position.
The reason why countries dare not take action against Nolan is because Nolan welcomes intelligent life from all over the world to share knowledge with them.
This has led to the fact that the king of a certain empire is likely to be an alumnus of a certain school in Nolan, and his father once served as a professor in a certain higher institution in this country, and so on.
And Nolan's "Magician Level Qualification Certificate" is the standard that countries around the world measure spellcasters.
However, the real reason to check and balance the countries of the world is because there are too many great magicians with extraordinary existence in Nolan.
Marina also knows some superficial magic knowledge. She clearly knows how valuable a new type of magic machinery is. If Joshua really has the existence of this kind of machinery, Marlina doesn't need to mind that it turns into a machine. Unavailable goods.
But the premise of all this is that Joshua is willing to give her this technology as a commodity.
"It's okay to tell you, the things I'm going to exhibit are here."
Joshua pointed to his head, but the businesswoman looked puzzled.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Marina, when the time comes, I will discuss a business with you, a business that will allow you to have innumerable wealth."
Of course, what Joshua wanted to express was the form that appeared in front of him. Marina did not learn the magic of the God of Order, so she couldn't see the program Joshua wrote.
"Then I'll wait for news from Mr. Joshua."
Marina originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of this World Exposition to find a way to make a fortune in Nolan, but the unpredictable disaster completely shattered Marina's thoughts, but Marina didn't feel much. lost.
She reached out and touched Ino's long silver hair beside her. Now the succubus was wearing a men's clothing, and her hair was tied into a single ponytail. Unfortunately, this did not bring Ino any heroic spirit. Instead, she looked more like a weak girl.
However, Ino had already confessed her name and gender to Malina. After Malina found out, she accepted Ino selflessly and prepared to raise her.
To live in Nolan, it is not enough to have a house. Marina needs a stable source of income. Doing business is the only thing she knows. Start, but Joshua's answer gave her a glimmer of hope.
During the conversation, the carriage has slowly driven to Nolan's door. This city does not have a city wall, but a transparent magical barrier instead of the city wall.
"Nolan was built on the relics of ancient civilizations, and the dust-covered civilization built an untouchable wall, making Nolan the strongest fortress in the world."
This is a narrative that Joshua had seen in the "General History of the World". Before entering the enchantment, he must undergo an entry inspection.
Marina didn't bring any goods with her, so she only paid a few silver coins for customs duties.
But the tariff is heavy enough for civilians.
After driving for more than two hours after crossing the border, passing several small towns and villages along the way, the carriage finally entered Nolan, the most prosperous city in the world.
Joshua pushed open the door of the carriage and got out of the carriage. The surrounding air was much fresher than that of the demon world. The architectural style of the whole city was indeed a bit like the buildings of the 19th century Victorian period, but the clothes of the pedestrians on the street were not. It's a hodgepodge.
Sand people, lizardmen, elves, dwarves, gnomes, goblins... Josh can easily find the figures of these races on the streets.
The most numerous on the streets are the magicians in robes.
"This is my address, Mr. Joshua... If you have any good news, please come and find me here."
Marina handed Joshua a piece of paper with a very accurate place name marked on it.
"I will, Ino hopes you can adapt to life in this city as soon as possible."
Joshua's sentence was in the form of an order, although the tone sounded like a blessing, Ino immediately nodded to show his understanding.
Joshua picked up the suitcase and closed the carriage door.
"Where are we going next?"
Ciri stood beside Joshua and sounded a little weak.
During the journey, her ping pong record with Joshua was 1:210. Ciri once suspected that Joshua was definitely cheating. Unfortunately, no matter how much she protested, it would have no effect.
"Didn't you say you came here to see your sister?"
This city is now the most mixed time for fish and dragons. Before going to find the theater mentioned by the skeleton, Joshua had to find a way to find a map of the city, but the local people's guidance was far more useful than the map.
"Well, I..."
Leaving the demon world and returning to the human world should have been something worthy of Ciri's happiness, but when she remembered that she was going to meet her wealthy sister in this manner, Ciri couldn't lift her head at all.
Ciri tugged at the "collar" around her neck, and playing that game with Joshua on the way went too far, she almost forgot that she was Joshua's prisoner.
"Well, I think about it, it should be here."
It was not the first time for Ciri to come to Nolan. She was very familiar with the surrounding urban areas, so under the leadership of Ciri, George started this trip to Nolan in a formal way.
