The 'City of the Queen of Spring', Saint Poplar, is located on Spring Island Pobla Island, an island rich in high-quality timber.
Saint Poplar has a long history, and its history can even be traced back to 720 years ago. In the center of the town stands the huge weathered clock Pope. This quaint clock tower is 50 meters high, witnessing the rise and fall of this town.
People's life and death change from generation to generation.
At the same time, the best watchmakers in the first half of the Great Route were gathered in this town. Therefore, the 'City of the Queen of Spring', Saint Poplar, is also known as the 'Hometown of Clocks'.
After Victor and his party walked out of the sea train station - green station, they immediately felt the gentle and elegant atmosphere of this town.
Matthew, who was wearing a peaked cap, blue jacket and jeans, scratched the back of his head: "What a pity, boss. If I had come here a month ago, I could have caught up with this year's 'Ralph Watch Exhibition' in St. Poplar."
.”
"That exhibition that claims to bring together the best watchmakers in the world?" Victor raised his eyebrows: "Even in Xihai, I have heard of the name of this exhibition."
Perona felt discouraged: "A month ago? A month ago we were still in the West Sea."
Robin looked at the guide book in his hand, then pointed to the tall clock tower standing in the center of the town in the distance and said: "Victor, over there is the Pop Bell Tower. If you want to go shopping, go to the 'Little Princess' department store near the clock tower.
Shopping malls are the best choice.”
Wu Hongji stretched herself: "Shopping? Please forgive me. I just sat on the Smoking Tom for 6 hours and my body is stiff."
Victor thought for a while and said, "Let's go eat first, and then find a hotel to rest for the night. How about going out to play tomorrow morning?"
Everyone agreed. Robin flipped through the brochure again and found the hotel with the highest recommendation index among tourists, the 'Cross Shield and Potato Knight'. After determining the direction, everyone set off.
Under the setting sun, people strolled along the spacious streets paved with cobblestones. The surrounding quaint buildings and houses, as well as the residents walking leisurely on the streets, gave people a sense of tranquility and peace.
The Cross Shield and the Potato Knight is located on Second Street. It was already dark when everyone walked there. The street lights emitted a soft light, and the neon strips hanging on the hotel sign kept changing colors, attracting the attention of passers-by.
With Matthew and Haoxue present, everyone would not be too busy ordering. With their recommendations, Victor chose some more distinctive dishes.
Although this is Spring Island, the climate is still relatively cold, so local residents like to eat high-calorie foods and sweets.
[Pobla Cheese Fondue], a large amount of garlic and red wine are added to the cheese hotpot. When it is served, the pot is constantly churning with sticky bubbles. When eating, you need to use the local specialty Kaka bread to dip the melted bubbles in the pot.
The cheese has a unique rich taste and soft and sticky texture when you put it in your mouth.
[Kaffin-style roasted powder soup], it is said that in the past, girls born in Saint Baiyang could not get married until they learned how to make roasted powder soup. Of course, this custom is no longer available, but this delicacy has been passed down from generation to generation.
It was gradually processed and improved to become one of St. Poplar's signature delicacies. Flour, butter, onions, beef broth and the essential top-grade Gruyère cheese are the components of baked powder soup. The soup has a slightly fragrant taste.
It is viscous and will instantly warm your stomach and atrium when you drink it.
[Potato Knight's Meat Platter], a dish highly recommended by Haoshi! A variety of bacon, smoked sausage, ham and other cured meats are put together into a plate, and served with potatoes, green beans, sour pickles and mustard sauce.
Enjoy your meal, and it will be even better with a big glass of beer!
In addition, 'veal stewed in popper cream', 'butter-fried thick perch fillet', 'leek stewed potatoes with grilled sausages', 'polenta corn fries', 'Bernese-style hazelnut ginger biscuits' and other delicacies,
Victor asked the waiter to open two bottles of fine Pinot Noir wine and a large bucket of draft beer, and a sumptuous meal filled the table!
Everyone chatted happily while enjoying the food. Victor and Haoxue drank wine and talked about the customs of the fish people, Matthew and Wu Hongji were discussing the recipes of the food on the table, and Perona and Robin chatted enthusiastically.
Started a recently popular fashion clothing brand.
The dinner lasted for more than 2 hours, and everyone returned to the hotel they had booked in advance to rest.
A smooth and quiet night.
The next day, after everyone had breakfast provided by the hotel, they headed to the 'Little Princess' department store on Central Street. This department store is smaller in size than the Rainbow Hypermarket in Saint-Pruit in 'Carnival Town'.
But the styles of products sold are more concentrated.
After buying some specialties, Victor and his party went to the sea train station and took the sea train leading to the 'Water City', the City of Seven Waters.

"Help, help! Captain, where are you? Come and save us! Monster! He is a monster!! No————"
boom----!!!
A huge pirate ship was directly smashed by a magma meteorite falling from the sky, and all the remaining pirates on it were reduced to ashes.
"Report! Lieutenant General Sakaski, this ship belongs to the 'Sour Grapes Pirates', and the pirates captured from above also confirmed this." A big-brained marine wearing sunglasses said to Sakaski.
: "Another pirate group deceived by the 'Zhan Nian Sword'."
Sakaski stood on the deck with his arms folded and said in a low voice: "...Who is their captain?"
"'Sour Wine' Link has a bounty of 52 million. He is not an esper, but he is good at swordsmanship." The big-headed navy snapped his fingers behind him, signaling the sailors to bring over the tightly tied pirate captain.
Bang!
There was a dull thud, and Link, who was tightly bound by a tough rope, was thrown to the feet of the Marine on the Brain.
Lin Keyu, who was lying on the deck, was struggling and squirming, shouting: "You bastards! Let me go! Otherwise, Master 'Zhan Nian Dao' will definitely avenge me!"
"Wake him up."
Sakaski, who was standing on the edge of the deck, was still looking at the sea and said without looking back.
The big-headed Marine wearing sunglasses gave a military salute, then picked up a bucket of colorful candy bars, firmly held Sour Wine Link's chin to force him to keep his mouth open, and then poured the candy bars toward him one by one.
Stuffed in mouth.
When he stuffed the first few candy bars, he didn't react. When the red candy bars were put into Link's mouth, his eyes suddenly opened in anger and he struggled desperately!
"That's it! Don't let him move around, pick out the red candy and stuff it into his mouth!" the big-headed marine ordered hurriedly. After hearing the order, the surrounding marines separated two people and opened Link's mouth, and then the others
He poured the red candy into Link's mouth.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!!" I don't know if it was a special reaction or just choking, but Sour Wine Link began to cough desperately. After coughing for about 3 minutes, his body went limp and he collapsed on the deck, his eyes blank.
He murmured to himself: "...Where is this?"
"This is hell, boy." Sakaski turned around, looked at Sour Wine Link condescendingly, and said playfully: "Tell me, where is the Nian-Zhan Knife? As long as you tell the truth, I will
I will spare your life and give you a small boat to get out of here."
"'Monster' S-Sakaski!!" 'Sour Wine' Link saw Sakaski's face clearly, and was trembling with fear: "How do I know where the 'Nian Zhan Nian Knife' is...
…I’m not familiar with him! Where are my men? Where is my ship? How did you catch me!? Why don’t I remember any of them?”
Sakaski looked at the Brain Marine, who nodded: "It's basically consistent with the intelligence. People who are 'cheated' by the 'Zhan Nian Dao' will not save the relevant memories of the period, and will be loyal to it wholeheartedly."
.The only way to unblock it is to feed candy of a certain color to the deceived person. The color is not fixed, but it must be one of 'red', 'yellow', 'green', 'blue', and 'orange'.
color."
"This is the ability of Wu Chai, the 'Nian-Zhan Sword', the superhuman Nian-Nian fruit."
