"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I understand when you are away."
Angus doesn't care about the girl's denial. In his opinion, this is a very sensible approach. It would be strange if she admits it. Even if she is not the princess of the Green Empire, it is estimated that she was born in a big noble family in the empire. 's direct line.
The reason why he didn't guess the aristocrats of the West Wind Kingdom was because Angus knew the country too well. He was born in a baron's family in the West Wind Kingdom. Later, he ran away to do business because he was framed by his brother.
It can be considered unintentional, but I didn't expect that his talent and luck are not bad, and now he has become the number one businessman in Port Hopeland, and he is also said to be the number one person in Verga.
This time Zephyr came to pick up his daughter to Verga. In the past few years, he was busy with entertainment and business, and he never settled down. It was only in the past two years that he arranged various industries properly. Finally, he was able to take his daughter to Verga to take good care of her to make up for the regret of keeping her alone in the West Wind.
Angus' daughter lives well in West Wind. She has a large manor and servants to take care of her, but after all, there are no relatives around, and her personality has become a bit eccentric.
The main reason is that Elaine's mother passed away early, and there was only one nurse to take care of her. The others were servants, and no one dared to disobey her, so she gradually developed a self-pampering character.
Angus also specially found a famous teacher in Hopelander this time, ready to accompany her, teach her, and change her awkward personality, and Xifeng's side, it is estimated that he will not come again in the future. Today, the nobles of the West Wind Kingdom are incapacitated, and they are proficient in civil wars. They have long forgotten their honor and mission, and they know how to enjoy themselves all day long. No wonder there have been frequent uprisings and civil unrest in recent years.
Looking at this knowledgeable and erudite girl in front of her, Angus guessed that she was either from a great noble family in the Green Empire or a student of Emenas College.
Although the mages of Rourna are also rich in knowledge, they have never been interested in doing business.
Speaking of Luerna, we will introduce the current situation of the Western Continent.
Today's Western Continent is roughly divided into two parts, east and west, bounded by the Mountains of Sighs in the center.
The East is the most powerful verdant empire on the continent, occupying nearly half of the continent.
Since the strong rise of the Green Empire more than 300 years ago, the seven great powers in the western part of the continent, Vergar, Rurna, Gufia, Falcon, Sanctuary, Zephyr, and Black Rock, have allied themselves in the Xuehua Mountain. Form the Xuehua United to fight against the expansion of the Verdant Empire.
Verga is famous for its commerce and navy, Rourna is mainly alchemist and mages, Falcon is the co-government of the wing clan and knights, Sanctuary is the base camp of the angel sequence, Black Rock is the country of mercenaries and mountains and forests, Gufia is the orc The last private land of each tribe, and the advocate of Xuehua United, the once glorious country of the West Wind.
The seven-nation alliance formed a coalition of about 2 million more than a hundred years ago to block the invasion of the Green Empire at the Fortress of Apocalypse in the south of the Sigh Mountains.
At that time, they fought for more than a year, and the two sides continued to increase their troops. In the end, Xuehua united about 2.6 million people and the Green Empire about 3 million. They fought fiercely on the golden plain.
It wasn't until the Green Empire failed to retreat and the war came to an end. Later, the two sides stopped fighting, and slowly there was peace for nearly a hundred years. This battle is also known as "The Battle of the Broken Bow".
There are many meanings in it. The art of bow and arrow of the Green Empire inherited the forest elves, which can be said to be a very famous representative. In this battle, it is said that at the end of the battle, the bow was broken and the arrow was shot, and it was still impossible to win. Retire and negotiate. Some people say that this symbolizes the imaginary bow of the Green Empire, which was ruthlessly broken, and the dream of unifying the continent was shattered.

After Angus and Roland Hill talked for a while, the spoiled girl in the blue dress came back.
"Father, let's go back, I don't want to stay here, we'll go to Verga tomorrow."
"Okay, my dear daughter, you have suffered all these years in the West Wind Kingdom alone."
Angus got up and greeted Roland Hill, then left.
Watching the father and daughter leave, Roland Hill also became interested in Verga.
Vilgar was part of the Westwind Kingdom many years ago. As a coastal province, it has developed trade and many good ports.
Duke Verga is generally a title that can only be obtained by the king's brother. In a certain internal struggle in the kingdom, the royal family was divided. At that time, Duke Verga was killed, and his subordinates were afraid of being liquidated, so they united with the merchants in the territories to become independent. .
Due to the developed sea trade, these big businessmen have their own fleets and guards. Several forces united in this way, and finally defeated the army that came to suppress, so that the West Wind Kingdom had to recognize its independence.
But businessmen are doing business after all, and they don't want to make the relationship so dead.
Therefore, Verga still belongs to the West Wind Kingdom in name, and will pay a lot of gold coins every year to appease the royal family of West Wind.
But in fact, Vilgar is now managed by the guild of the business alliance. The members of the guild come from the major chambers of commerce. They balance and restrict each other and discuss matters together. Everything is aimed at making money, so it is quite dynamic.
After Roland Hill finished eating the delicious ice cream, he walked around the city again and found an alchemy shop in Seabuckthorn City.
"Hello, do you want to buy something, or order it?"
A clerk in dark blue overalls stepped forward to ask.
"Can I take a look first?" A girl's light voice came from under the black hood.
The clerk looked at it a little, and the dress and clothes should not be worn by ordinary people, so he stepped aside and guided the girl to the showcase.
"Hello, what are your needs? I'm not boasting. Our Blue Precision Workshop is the most powerful alchemy workshop in the West Wind Kingdom. In stock, you can also state your requirements and let our alchemist make it exclusively for you."
"Are you the most powerful in the West Wind Kingdom?"
Roland Hill looked at the rows of medicines that were no more than black iron grade on the counter, and felt that the other party was bragging.
"Of course, our workshop not only often supplies the military, but sometimes the royal family also asks us to order something."
Speaking of this, the clerk felt an inexplicable sense of pride, and his face was about to light up.
"Did you know that in the hall of the West Wind Palace, there is a big bell with a height of three people, and there are 24 delicate brass figures in it. Every time it is on time, one of the little figures in beautiful clothes will come out beating gongs and drums. Tell the time, and then change to another at the next point. They are all different and beautiful, even the ambassadors of the Green Empire are full of praise."
"Is that clock made in your workshop?"
The clerk gave an expression that you know well, and was very satisfied with the girl's question, and began to brag about how beautiful and delicate the clock was, not only telling the time accurately, but also providing lights at night.
Sounds great, but isn't it just a clock? Lorraine Hill thought.
The precise parts and structure of the clock make outsiders seem to have a sense of ignorance, which can be very intimidating.
In the girl's memory, mechanical watches have actually been gradually eliminated by the times. A mechanical watch of several thousand yuan is not as accurate as an electronic watch that costs 5 yuan on the street. The only use may be a luxury that highlights the identity.
But the most representative work of a workshop is actually a luxury that is not very useful, does it mean that its direction is beginning to be skewed.
No longer paying attention to the boasting of the clerk, Roland Hill looked around the store carefully.
Most of the products are luxury goods with little use but beautiful appearance, such as hollow balls that can float on the chassis, ducks that can tell the time, crystal slippers that can change colors, capes with light and shadow effects, and so on.
Really useful things, Roland Hill only saw a bronze-level longsword and three phantom sound potions, the others were either of little use for black iron or purely decorative luxury.
Phantom Voice Potion (Normal Bronze): Changes the speaker's voice for 1 hour.
This potion is very useful, whether it is to simulate various sounds to seduce or intimidate in battle, or to beautify one's voice in performances or speeches, it can be used in many scenes.
