"This is such a beautiful city!" Sitting in the carriage, Lawrence and Saphire looked out through the glass of the window.
The first impression of this city is that it is very clean and tidy, and full of beauty. It is worthy of being a holiday destination chosen by the nobles of the Old World at a glance.
Just on the way from the pier to the city center, Lawrence and the others discovered that the roads here were actually stone roads that are only found in older big cities.
On both sides of the road, there are stone flower beds, wrought iron street lamps, beautiful wooden benches and marble statues every ten meters. Even the ground is decorated with various beautiful small stones and broken glass.
The pieces pieced together various patterns.
And these beautiful streets that seem to even inspire some artists to create are just the most inconspicuous part of the entire city.
As the carriage gradually advanced towards the city center, some three- and four-story red brick buildings began to appear on the roadside. These small buildings had many marble-carved decorative panels, statues and bright glass windows, coming up to the road.
Pedestrians coming and going display a variety of goods and services.
In addition, there are squares of different sizes but equally beautiful at regular intervals. There are white pigeons flying in the square, fountains constantly pouring out of the statues in the pool, and some neatly dressed street artists.
From time to time, some well-dressed gentlemen or ladies will stand next to these artists to enjoy their performances, and at the same time put coins into the containers in front of them.
Because it is located inland, there are many mountains around it that block the cold current and it is located on the edge of a lake. Therefore, the climate of this city is also very good. Apart from being a bit cold in winter, everything is fine in this place.
At least compared to most areas in the Federation, the temperature here remains at a relatively comfortable temperature most of the year. It is not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer. The air is neither dry nor dry.
It is not humid and there are no natural disasters.
It was not until he chatted with the man who came to pick him up that Lawrence learned that the so-called Sword Bay City was actually composed of two urban areas that almost did not interfere with each other.
One of them is now this important tourist city, and the other is an industrial city located more than ten kilometers away from the leeward and watershed of this city, which is mainly based on various light industries, especially the food processing industry.
This arrangement is actually a very reasonable one. After all, the development of industry will inevitably cause a lot of pollution. Although the existence of extraordinary power in this world has allowed the group of druids to develop a large number of extraordinary plants against pollution, some
Odors and some smoke are still inevitable.
Therefore, due to environmental considerations, the Sword Bay is naturally divided into two far apart urban areas. Because only in this way can the entire city be guaranteed to obtain the rolling wealth brought by industry and satisfy those with noble status.
travel and leisure needs of tourists.
It must be said that this arrangement also makes this part of the city targeted at travelers particularly beautiful. At least for Lawrence, this city is the most beautiful city he has ever seen.
Compared with this city, although it is far more prosperous than Eagle Castle or Londinium, from the perspective of being suitable for human habitation, this place is more suitable.
On the other hand, this city has been in a safe environment since its establishment. Occasional fish-men raids will not affect the tranquility of the city.
As for other wilderness creatures, they have basically become obsolete after a series of industrial and agricultural developments around the city. The scattered single-digit goblins or jackals cannot affect the security here at all, but can instead make the nobles traveling here
Show their mates how brave they are.
Therefore, many people from the White Eagle Federation or those chaotic countries in the south hope to settle down here and buy an industry. As a result, this will naturally drive up the prices and housing prices in the region.
To give the simplest example, if the money that can buy an apartment of more than 100 square meters in a neighborhood of the same level in Eagle Fort is spent here, it can only buy a small house of no more than 20 square meters.
On the way, Reina's son Bach proudly introduced this city to Lawrence and the others. "This city is not only a resort city, but also an academic city."
"For example, the most famous Miska University in the entire Federal Extraordinary World is located in the Miska Forest not far from this city."
"For this reason, in addition to deploying a standing army here, the Federation also deployed a large number of police and extraordinary management agencies in the area. As a result, Sword Bay City has naturally become the best place for security in the entire Federation.
One of several cities.”
"Miska University?" After listening to Saifei's introduction, Saifei leaned into Lawrence's ear and asked. "I seem to have heard you mention this university, and also said that the proportion of troublemakers coming out of this university is very high.
.”
"You remember correctly, I did say it." Lawrence also put his mouth in front of Saifei's ear at this time. "For example, during the time when I was exposed to the extraordinary world, I met two people who came from this university.
Professors have caused troubles, and every time they cause trouble, it is no small matter. It is the kind of thing that if it is not controlled well, the whole city may be destroyed."
Although Lawrence has been complaining to Saifei about the troublemaking habits of the teachers and students at Miska University, he also knows that this is the characteristic of this university.
In fact, if you carefully investigate the extraordinary organizations in the New World, you will soon find that these organizations in the New World are often more radical than those in the Old World.
Of course, choosing this strategy is a last resort. After all, compared with those countries and organizations in the Old World, the foundations of these countries and organizations in the New World are still a bit weak.
If organizations like the church can still get some support from the Old World, then various secular organizations that have nothing to do with gods can only rely on themselves.
In this case, each organization can only use some more radical strategies to obtain more knowledge or resources. Because only in this way can they ensure that they gain sufficient advantages in various competitions.
But correspondingly, there are some serious problems caused by radical strategies. At least from the casualty rate of organizational personnel, the casualty rate in the New World is obviously higher than that in the Old World.
But this sacrifice was successful in the end. At least the three major countries in the New World and the Northern Territory were no less powerful than those ancient countries in the Old World.
While Lawrence and Saphire were talking, the carriage had passed through the entire city and arrived at the door of a small villa in the suburbs.
As a city that operates resorts and tourism, Sword's Bay City naturally has residences suitable for people of all walks of life for vacation or long-term residence. These residences range from the most basic modern apartments to large mansions with large manors.
The small villa that Lawrence and the others are going to live in now is Lawrence's trophy last time. It was originally a place where a warlord who colluded with the wilderness race planned to live if he accidentally stepped down. It was later given to them as compensation.
Lawrence.
At the beginning, Lawrence planned to sell the villa for money. After all, he felt that it was basically impossible for him to live in this place permanently, but whether he lived in it or not, he would spend a large amount of money every year on maintenance.
But then I thought that if I were to run so many businesses here, I would have to have a place to entertain guests, so I finally made the decision to keep this place.
But now it seems that the previous decision was definitely a wise one. At least now that they have this villa, Lawrence and the others have a very good place to stay when they come here, instead of staying in hotels that are not only expensive but may not be comfortable.
