"And after we inspect all those industries, we can take a good tour of Sword Bay City and the large forests and mountains around it." Lawrence said, taking out a map, and then took out the map on it.
Point out some contents to Nora.
"Before, I met many National Guard members from the Sword Bay in Pine Valley. They said that their area is one of the best travel destinations in the White Eagle Federation."
"Sword Cove City, is this place really interesting?" After hearing Lawrence's plan, Saphiel asked curiously.
"I read those reports before. It only said that Sword Bay City is an important light industrial city in the northern part of the Federation, focusing on food processing and textile industries. It did not say that it is suitable for travel."
"And according to what you said, the main scenic spots in that area are some standard rural scenes. I have to say that this kind of location may be very attractive to people who have lived in the city since childhood.
But for wild girls and boys like us who were born in the countryside, these rural scenery should be quite boring and have nothing to see."
It is not surprising that Saphiel has this idea. After all, she and Lawrence lived in the countryside of the White Eagle Federation before going to school. Therefore, it is natural that they cannot be excited about those farms in the New World.
Just like everyone misses their hometown, but if they travel, they will definitely not choose a place with almost the same scenery as their hometown.
"No, no, there are some differences between villages and villages." Lawrence shook his right hand and said, "For example, our hometown is actually a standard New World village, but the villages around Sword Bay City are different.
.”
"Back when the Federation had not yet become independent from the Britons, this area became a travel destination for high-ranking Britons who came to the New World because it resembled the terrain around Lake Windermere."
"After the independence of the Federation, the private properties that originally belonged to the upper class in Britton did not change their owners. Instead, more upstarts built more villas and even manors here for vacation."
"Although with the passage of time, these places that used to have only some holiday estates have gradually been developed into various farms or pastures. The entire area has also changed from the original pure natural scenery to the agricultural area it is now.
A core area dominated by animal husbandry.”
"Even so, that section of the lakeshore that was first developed and the surrounding mountains and forests still maintain their most primitive appearance. Because for that group of upper-class people, a very good vacation spot is far more important than some farms.
"
"You mean the Brythonic-style farm?" After hearing Lawrence's explanation, Saphire immediately became interested.
"Although I went to school in Briton before, I basically spent all my time at the college in the city. So I really haven't visited much of the countryside in Briton, let alone those scenic spots.
.”
"So this time we can just go to those scenic spots and have a good tour." Lawrence said with a smile on his face. "Although this place is not on Britton Island, according to the information I found before, Sword Bay is
That group of aristocrats considered it to be a top holiday destination comparable to the area around Briton Lake Windermere."
"If that's the case, then it is indeed a good place for us to travel." After hearing what Lawrence said, Saifei nodded and said.
"By the way, how long will it take for us to handle the local business this time? We won't have to stay in the office or room to handle official business until the end. In that case, I think it is enough to handle it here, there is no need.
I specially went to the scenic spot to handle official business."
"The official business we need to handle this time is not too much." Lawrence said with a smile, "At least after we cleaned out those bastards who were in cahoots with the wilderness races last time, we specially transferred professionals from the island to take their places.
, Judging from the current reports, everyone should be doing very well, so it shouldn’t take us much time to check those industries.”
After resting for a whole day at a hotel in Huguang City, Lawrence and the others chose to take a regular boat at the port to Sword Bay City.
After all, compared with taking a train to go around a big bend, those steam express boats across the Great Lakes were more time-consuming. In just one day, they successfully traveled from the southernmost side of the lake to their destination on the northern side of the lake.
"I feel really bad. I have never felt so dizzy after being on a sea ship for several days." After landing, Saifei lay on the railing of the trestle and retched for a while before recovering.
"There is no way, in order to make the liner fast enough, they can only install a steam engine on it." Lawrence explained while taking out a bottle of water and handing it to Saifei.
"You know, after installing a steam engine on such a small boat, the vibration of the entire ship will be very large. In addition, the tonnage of the ship is too small, which makes the ship more likely to shake when driving, so seasickness is inevitable."
"So let's take the train when we go back." Saifei said after rinsing your mouth and taking a few sips of water. "Although taking the train takes two days and is boring, compared to this extremely uncomfortable ride,
For boat travel, I think the boredom is bearable."
"Okay, we'll take the train when we go back." Lawrence said, helping Saphiel, who was a little weak in the legs, and walked out of the pier. And on the way, Saphire asked Lawrence to talk about something on the ship to distract him.
I read the information in the travel brochures and felt uncomfortable.
"This city is built with two mage towers as the core." Saphiel said, pointing to a black and white tower standing in the most conspicuous place in the center of the city. "The White Eagle Federation is actually
We are more inclined to build large-scale mage towers that are collectively owned, and only these old colonies have this kind of traditional private mage tower."
"The reason why the Mage Tower was built here was originally to serve as a support point for the development of the Great Lakes region and to resist the attacks of the wilderness races."
"Although the surrounding wilderness races had declined when the two mage towers were built. However, due to their many sieges on Huguang City, for safety reasons, Briton was stationed in the New World Hokuriku at that time.
The governor still ordered the construction of two mage towers in this area, so that Huguang City and Huguang City can support each other."
"Times have passed, and as the surrounding wilderness species have been completely suppressed, this mage tower has naturally lost most of its functions. Now, in addition to providing some defense when the fish people in the lake launch attacks, the only function of this tower is
Its function is to provide defense to the city through space interference."
Lawrence nodded and said that he understood why he had to do this at that time. If this space was completely released and the surrounding space was not interfered with, it would be easy for the enemy to rush directly into the city and cause large-scale casualties and losses.
You know, the people staying in this place are all dignitaries. If one or two accidentally die in the attack, it will be a big trouble. At least at that time, it is definitely not a crime that the colonial governor can bear.
And if it were in some more important big cities, the defense would be tighter than here. For example, in Eagle Castle, there are three magic towers forming a double defense.
Even if someone can destroy the outer defense composed of one of the magic towers, the two magic towers in the inner circle can still provide sufficient defense for the entire city.
After leaving the pier, Lawrence and Saphire got into a slightly gorgeous carriage without a noble emblem.
Because Lawrence had already sent a telegram saying that he wanted to see these properties without disturbing most people, so the housekeeper Reina, who was the general manager here, just sent her son to drive to pick up Lawrence and the others.
