The waitress of the tavern walked over holding a wooden tray, put two glasses of wine on the wooden table, and whispered:

"Two gentlemen, please take your time."

Before leaving, she winked at the two customers and quickly left a sentence:

"If you have special needs, you can come to me..."

In other worlds, the maids in such taverns often have a meager income. In order to support their families, most of them will work part-time in unspeakable occupations, and this maid is also the same.

Seeing that these two customers can afford to consume more expensive wines, she intends to show her favor to them and "expand" business channels by the way.

Among the two customers, the younger one stared at the dirty tabletop with a thick layer of grease with a disgusting face. He deliberately lowered his voice and said endlessly:

"Navid, only dirty untouchables come to this street tavern. This is not a place that nobles should visit."

"If you want to drink, there is it in the'Heidelberg Manor'. The quality of the wine provided in the manor is better and the environment is better. Look at this table, my god, I can guarantee that it has not been wiped for at least 2 years. It's..."

"Simeone, shut up!" Another customer, the "Navid" in the youth's mouth, interrupted his companion's complain a little angrily, "I heard that yesterday the fleet of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce made a sensation for the entire Copernicus City, I came to the tavern to hear about this, not to drink."

"Someone over there is talking about Haichao Chamber of Commerce, please be quiet for me..."

Simeone was still about to say something. After Navid stared fiercely, he closed his mouth unwillingly, and the two listened to the noisy discussions nearby.

"...It's incredible. It's the first time I have seen such a strange boat in half my life. It can be driven without sails. I really don't know how the people from the Haichao Chamber of Commerce did it..."

"Haha, old Carter, you are such an idiot. In the Kingdom of Thousand Lakes, are there few ships without sails? Which inland cargo ship did you see has sails?"

"Otley, you are a foolish fool. I'm talking about a sea boat, do you know about a sea boat? How can a sea boat rely on manpower to paddle like an inland flat-bottom boat?"

"I also went to the pier yesterday. Old Carter was right. I didn't see the oars either. Besides, that strange ship was spliced ​​together by two thousand-ton ships. The oars could not move such a huge one. ferry……"

"Have you noticed that the deck of this ship turned out to be a metal deck? Tsk, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is really rich and uses steel to make the deck..."

Navid and Simeone looked at each other, shocked.

What the **** is this?

Two thousand-ton ships spliced ​​together? A boat without sails?

Can this kind of boat run?

What is the steel deck? Wouldn't this kind of ship sink directly when it came out?

Soon the two heard even more shocking news.

"... Guess what that kind of weird big iron house is?"

"What big iron house?"

"It's the big guy on the steel deck..."

"Lazaro, I said long ago that you will regret leaving the pier so early. Hey, let me tell you that the ‘big iron house’ you mentioned later grew legs..."

"Are you kidding? How could a big iron house have long legs?"

"Those big iron houses automatically ran from the deck to the pier. Isn't this what it means to have grown legs?"

"Really? Are you wrong? Is there someone in the big iron house pushing it?"

"You go push it and try it? They are bigger than a house, and they are all made of steel. I am afraid that they can weigh 5 houses. Twenty people may not be able to push it..."

"I saw with my own eyes, where the big iron house walked through, the soil was deeply pressed down, probably as deep as my fingers..."

"If you want me to say, that kind of weird little carriage is more powerful. Yesterday I opened my eyes. The two-wheeled carriage can actually run and run so stable. I can't believe it..."

"The two-wheeled carriage doesn't even need a horse to pull the cart, and the wheels roll automatically. The speed is so fast that you can't see the shadow in the blink of an eye. It's amazing..."

"I think the Haichao Chamber of Commerce must have a magician, and the two-wheeled carriage must be an item made by a magician, otherwise they will definitely not stand firmly, and it is even more impossible to run without a horse..."

"I agree with Lauski. I heard that the Haichao Chamber of Commerce also sells hot air balloons. Most of them are also the invention of the Mage...."

Listening to the heated discussions among the civilians, Navid and Simeone looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts grew more and more.

What are these civilians talking about? Why don't we understand it at all?

A big iron house that can walk?

A two-wheeled carriage?

The two suddenly discovered that this world was so strange.

Simeone glanced at his companion and asked in a low voice:

"Navid, will you still participate in the exercise to be held by the army under Renault tomorrow?"

"Go!" Navid said categorically, the strange things the civilians were talking about made him extremely curious.

"But what if Renault takes the opportunity to blackmail everyone?" Simeone said hesitantly.

"The subordinate sent an army to the Thousand Lakes Kingdom, and deliberately under the banner of Miss Alietti, I feel that this is to ask everyone for money..."

After a pause, he murmured again:

"Since the army of black orcs occupied the Mushan Kingdom in the north, the king has always levied special war taxes every few times. Now even a foreign noble dare to come and ask for money, how did the kingdom become like this..."

Navid did not speak, but sighed.

Castle of the Dukes of Byron.

The banquet at noon was neither scrambled nor messy. Even though the food was quite plentiful, all the nobles who attended the banquet showed great restraint, so that the atmosphere of the banquet seemed slightly deserted.

This is because of the major event that happened before, that is, the fall of the two fortresses.

Three days have passed, but the royal family has not started to organize a counterattack. This not only shows the weakness of the royal family, but also makes everyone deeply disturbed.

As the leader of the noble group, even the royal family behaved so unbearably, who would have confidence in the future of the kingdom?

If it weren't for the black orc's temporary inability to continue going south, I am afraid that many nobles have already run away.

This is true. A considerable number of nobles have begun to secretly prepare for the evacuation, such as finding various excuses to transfer their families, or transferring part of their money to the southern mainland to prepare in advance.

On the other hand, it was because Renault was crowned.

Regarding the purpose of this subordinate holding the exercise, most people held a wait-and-see attitude, and even faintly rejected it. When this sentiment continued to the banquet, it was not surprising that the atmosphere became like this.

When the banquet drew to a close, the waiters yelled:

"Dear sirs, if you have finished your meal, please move to the small square at the gate of the castle. A special carriage will take everyone to the exercise site..."

"After half an hour, the exercise will officially begin..."
