The small town of Ampreston is located in the southwest corner of the Principality of Mirando, adjacent to the Principality of Rulton to the south, and surrounded by the Kingdom of Lampali to the west and north.
A broad river flows through the center of the town and continues eastward.
This river is called Sandy River in the Kingdom of Lampali and Mirando River in the Principality of Mirando.
The reason why it is called this is because there is only one river with a width of more than fifty meters in the Principality of Mirando, which can be called a spacious river.
Apart from this river, the small town of Ampreston is no different from other small towns in the Principality of Mirando. They are all equally peaceful and ordinary.
The small town of Ampreston has existed on this continent for more than hundreds of years. No matter how the continent changes, no one will be interested in such a featureless and extremely barren town.
The people in the small town of Ampreston also believe that they will repeat this quiet and ordinary life every day, just like they have for hundreds of years, until they die. .
However, after entering the second half of the continental calendar year 3783, the tranquility of the town was suddenly broken.
First, one day, dozens of large ships floated down from the upper reaches of the Mirando River. The sign on the boat showed that they were from the Lampali Kingdom, but the big men who jumped off the boat, in addition to some humans who spoke with the accent of Bangta City, the Lampali Kingdom not far upstream, also had some weird looks. A ferocious-looking orc man!
However, what surprised the people in the small town of Ampreston was that these big orc men didn't seem to come to this small town with the intention of doing bad things like burning, killing and looting, but after getting off the boat. He actually started working honestly under the command of those humans.
But after observing for a while. People found out again. These orcs are not like the legendary orc slaves.
Because the humans on the fleet did not have many restrictions on these big orc men, they treated them just like ordinary humans, there was no difference.
After a long time, when the people in the town turned their surprised eyes away from the big orc men, they discovered another thing that surprised them.
Before you knew it, a huge dock was built on the Mirando River outside the town!
Not far from the dock, a huge building was also built. It is fully half higher than the top of the tallest church in the town. Everyone is amazed by these buildings.
They couldn't understand at all why these Lampali people would suddenly go to their humble town to build such a huge dock and a building that they didn't know what it was used for.
Although those people were always accompanied by the mayor of the town personally when they were building the dock and the building, and occasionally a big shot who was said to be the earl would come to check and prove that what they were doing was approved by the principality, but People in the town remain extremely uneasy.
But this uneasiness didn't last long. It didn't take long for the people in the town to discover that these people actually brought them a lot of benefits.
The total number of humans and orcs who came off the fleet was over a hundred. Although they moved a lot of incomprehensible and messy supplies from the ship, they did not prepare any food and clothing supplies. So if you want to solve these problems, you naturally have to come to the town.
And these big men seem to be very wealthy and spend a lot of money. If they want to have a meal at a random restaurant, they will spend just a few silver coins, which is enough to be worth several times the value of the materials used in the meal.
Besides eating, these big men work hard and love nothing more than drinking a good drink at night.
Although the wine brewed by the people in the small town of Ampreston is not considered delicious, these big men, especially the orcs, do not reject anyone who comes and drink it.
If you get addicted to drinking, you may even throw away a gold coin.
In just a month or two, people in the town were surprised to find that they had a lot of unexpected income due to the arrival of this mysterious fleet.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After building the pier and the unknown building, these big men left the town.
However, people were not disappointed for a few days, but another group of strong human men, far exceeding the previous group, numbering hundreds, came to this small town again.
However, these big men did not come from the Mirando River, but came running from the ground on a strange-looking thing that they called a magic motorcycle.
After arriving and settling down in the town, these big men began to beat the ground around the town.
According to them, they were preparing to build a road.
highway
The town of Ampreston is on the border with the Kingdom of Lampali. I have heard about this thing that is said to be everywhere in the Kingdom of Lampali, but why did these people suddenly come here to build a road
But the answer to this question is not important to the people in the town. What is important is that because of the arrival of these people, the food and accommodation business in the town has become prosperous again.
Some well-informed businessmen even opened a new restaurant on the edge of town near the dock to provide catering services to these people after hearing about their subsequent actions.
A few more months passed, and three more roads opened outside the town.
One of them goes all the way west, extending directly to the Lampali Kingdom.
The other one goes all the way east, and is said to eventually connect to Mirando, the capital of the principality.
As for the last one, it goes southward into the Luersun Kingdom in a strange way, and I don’t know where it will eventually lead.
After the roads and docks were successfully built, a large number of people poured into the town as if overnight.
A lot of strange-looking iron machines were transported into the strange building that had been built before, and then the town office suddenly posted a notice announcing that the city was recruiting a group of workers in the town.
Seeing the salary package given on the notice, the strange building was almost overwhelmed by the crowd.
Why do you say
nonsense! One month's salary is ten gold coins! And it also includes a lunch! There are even extra rewards every holiday!
Why don't you hurry up and grab such a good job
finally. This one comes from the Lampali Kingdom. It seems that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is well-known in the Lampali Kingdom, has recruited a hundred workers from the town. Enter that peculiar building not too far from the dock... oh no, that rare earth smelting plant.
As for the remaining ones who have not been recruited, don't be too disappointed. According to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they will open several magic machinery factories here in the future and need to recruit a large number of workers.
According to the fat middle-aged man who came to recruit workers, he could even guarantee that before long, everyone in the small town of Ampreston would have a good job. Not only will you not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, but you will also be able to enjoy a much more comfortable life.
No one doubted his words, because for people in the small town, they had no qualifications to be cheated.
Now, everyone is looking forward to the end of winter.
Because the vice president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce said that it would be easier to start building the factory until spring arrives and the weather gets warmer.
People in the town seem to have seen countless wonderful job opportunities waving to them.
At this time, naturally no one will notice. Every once in a while, the rare earth smelting plant will ship out batches of goods. Either load it onto a ship parked at the dock, or transport it onto a large cargo magic machine.
But the final direction is all the way to the west, into the Lampali Kingdom.
When everyone was immersed in the fantasy of tomorrow, another ship came from the Mirando River and stopped at the dock.
At the same time, a carriage that looked unremarkable drove into the town from the east and stopped at the entrance of the town office.
Magician Bukarus got off the carriage and was immediately greeted by the mayor of Ampreston, Baron Rofic.
"Dear Sir Bukarus, President Xu hasn't arrived yet. Can you please go in and sit and wait for him for a while? It's a lot of words."
"No need, I'll wait here." Magician Bukarus waved his hand and stood at the door of the town office, raising his neck and staring at the entrance of the town with a look of anticipation.
"Well... Sir Bukarus, you are standing here... you are too eye-catching. I think President Xu may not like this." Baron Luofik reminded in a low voice.
"Oh? Oh... that's right." Magician Bukarus reacted, thought for a while, turned around and walked into the town office.
Baron Luofik breathed out a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
Halfway through, Magician Bukarus suddenly thought of something. He turned to Baron Luofik and nodded, with a look of approval on his face: "Baron Luofik, based on what I just saw outside, An The town of Preston has really changed a lot now. I find that the people in the town are in much better spirits than before, and they have obviously become a lot richer. I always smell tempting meat when I walk on the road. fragrant."
Baron Luofik laughed loudly: "That's true. Now our Ampreston is much stronger than before. But this is all thanks to you, Magician Bukarus. If it weren't for you, the new flying If the Chamber of Commerce is brought here, our town will never become what it is now.”
"Then you should go and thank the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and President Xu. What do you want to thank me for?" Magician Bukarus waved his hand, paused, and suddenly said in a slightly lower tone: "But I heard... Luo Baron Fike, in the past six months, you have made many unreasonable demands on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and as a result, you have asked the local person in charge of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for at least five bribes? "
Baron Luofik's face changed drastically, and then he shook his head calmly: "How is that possible! The Grand Duke and Lord Plimpton have told me countless times that they must try their best to meet the requirements of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. How could I embarrass them?"
"Really? But this is what Earl Plimpton mentioned to me personally before I set off. I hope he didn't believe the rumors, right? It's quite a few words," Magician Bucklers said quietly.
Countless cold sweat broke out on Baron Luofik's forehead. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he was interrupted by a long laugh from the door.
"Your Majesty, the Earl, must have made a mistake somewhere. Our Chamber of Commerce and His Excellency, the Baron, are very happy to cooperate. How could such a thing happen?"
Baron Luofik instantly felt as refreshed as if he had drank a bowl of hot soup in the winter. He turned around and looked at Xu Yi, who strode in from the door, and greeted him with a grateful expression.
