Autumn leaves calendar, mid-April of the year.

Garman City.

This is a small town in the extreme north, which is about the same size as the Red Leaf City in the past.

But it is luckier than Hongye City, because it is not as north as Hongye City. In addition to Jiaman City, there are some other small towns in this area.

The relationship between these small towns is not bad. They learn from each other's strengths and communicate with each other. In this cold winter, they can barely survive.

Now the weather has finally started to warm up, and the worst weather has passed. Before next winter, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, Garman City can last for another year.

This is also the status quo of most small towns in the extreme north.

Of course, this doesn't mean that everyone froze to death, but that just like the Red Leaf City before, those merchants and nobles, feeling that the city they were staying in might not be able to survive the winter, they left early with their wealth and food.

As long as someone takes the lead to leave, the follow-up will be out of control, the brain drain will be serious, and it may have become an empty city before winter.

But there are exceptions to everything. If it is like Hongye City, when winter comes, the rich people in the city leave with material and wealth, and even the city owner leaves, the residents of the city may really have to wait to die. Because at this time, it will be too late for them to go out.

At this time, there are few pedestrians on the streets in Garman City. Although the weather is getting warmer, it is obvious that people have not fully recovered from the winter state.

In the city lord's mansion, Viscount Hope, his wife and children were sitting around the dining table, watching the delicacies brought by the servants. Everyone, including Viscount Hope, swallowed subconsciously.

They haven't smelled meat in months!

Even if you are the lord of Garman City and a noble viscount, Hope is not much better than the commoners in winter.

The main food is also black bread, and there is no meat, let alone vegetables.

It is nothing more than that Viscount Hope can eat a little bit more, and the commoners can only guarantee that they will not starve to death at most.

It's not that Viscount Hope is very poor. After all, he is also a Viscount and the lord of a city. No matter how poor he is, he can't be poorer than a commoner.

The reason why Viscount Hope is more economical in terms of diet is to store more food to deal with some unexpected situations.

Now that I have finally survived the winter, I can finally treat myself.

"Father, can, can we have dinner... Suck~"

The younger son looked at the food on the table and subconsciously sucked the saliva that came out.

Hope didn't scold him because he knew he wasn't much better.

"Of course, but before eating, we need to thank the Snow Goddess."

Hope held out his hand, holding his son's hand in one hand and his wife's in the other.

The wife also stretched out her other hand to hold her daughter's hand, and the daughter followed their example. The whole family held hands and bowed their heads in prayer.

"Thank you for the blessing of the Goddess of Ice and Snow!"

"Thank you for the blessing of the Goddess of Ice and Snow!"

"Thank you for the blessing of the Goddess of Ice and Snow!"

"..."

"Okay, let's have dinner!"

As the head of the family, Hope naturally had the right to eat first. He didn't care about other dishes, and directly stared at the pot of boiled meat in salted water in front of him.

With a knife, he cut a large piece of meat and put it on his "dark bread plate". Looking at the fat and fat, Viscount Hope didn't care about his image, so he picked it up and gnawed it together with the black bread.

Taking a bite, the rich meat flavor mixed with a touch of salty taste hit Hope's taste buds, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

It's still meaty!

The wife is the second to eat, and her goal is also to boil the meat in salt water, then the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the third son. Four daughters and youngest son.

They also cook the meat in brine.

"delicious!"

After all, the younger son is young, and he is not very good at hiding his emotions. Everything is shown on his face.

"Lord Viscount, report something!"

Suddenly, the sound of a soldier's announcement came from outside the door.

Viscount Hope, who was eating his mouth full of oil, was a little dissatisfied. He hated being disturbed when he was eating, especially when he was eating meat.

"Enter."

There was a slight anger in Viscount Hope's voice.

A soldier in leather armor came in without a weapon.

He smelled the smell of meat for a long time, looked at the delicious food on the table, grunted in his throat, and quickly looked away.

"I need you to give me a suitable reason, otherwise, don't blame me for deducting your salary this month!"

Viscount Hope continued to eat his fat without raising his head.

This soldier is not a newcomer either. Don't he know his habits? Even if there is a big event, it has to be finished after dinner!

"Lord Viscount, we have guests from Man City!"

The soldier said quickly.

"Huh? Guest?"

Viscount Hope still didn't stop, and his words were a little vague.

"Yes, they said that it was sent by the Lord of Hongye City and wanted to see you, Lord Viscount, and—"

"Huh? From Hongye City? Is that Hongye City? After so many years, Hongye City is still there?"

Viscount Hope finally put down the food in his hand, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve casually. His tone was a little surprised.

As a noble in the extreme north and the city owner of Jiaman City, it is natural to understand the situation of the cities in the extreme north.

Maybe many people have never been to Hongye City, but as the northernmost city in the extreme north, there are definitely many people who have heard the name Hongye City.

Viscount Hope is the latter.

"Yes, Lord Viscount, that is the Red Leaf City!"

"It's so cold now that the city lord of Hongye City actually sent someone to me? He's not afraid of freezing people to death! Tsk tsk!"

Viscount Hope shook his head and said again.

"Then what are they doing here?"

"I asked them, but they didn't say anything, they just said that you have something important to ask the Viscount..."

The soldier whispered.

"Trash! Can't even ask a word!"

Viscount Hope could not wait to slap him.

How can he say that he is also a viscount, how can he see it if he wants to see it? As a subordinate, don't bother the lord if you can, otherwise he has to come forward for everything, then why does he raise these subordinates!

The soldier lowered his head, not daring to refute it.

But he felt some grievances in his heart, those people were too powerful, he didn't dare to ask more!

"Forget it, I'll go take a look!"

Viscount Hope got up, looked at the unfinished fat meat, and looked at the wives and children who were looking down to eat meat, he frowned and said.

"Come with me to see these guests from Hongye City!"

"OK."

"Yes, my father!"

"I-I want to eat meat..."

Just to prevent you from stealing it!

Viscount Hope glanced over, and the younger son had to put down the meat in his hand pitifully and stood up aggrieved.

"lead the way!"

"Yes!"

A group of people rushed to the gate of the city.

"Huh? Why didn't you invite someone in?"

Viscount Hope's face was very ugly. If the other party was really sent by the Lord of Hongye City, this would undoubtedly be a bit neglectful.

"Lord Viscount, it's not that we haven't invited you, but they said that they will leave later, so they won't bother us."

"Leave?"

Viscount Hope was a little stunned. In such a cold day, I thought they had walked here from Hongye City for a long time, right? Do you think your life is too long?

crunch~

The sound of the door interrupted Viscount Hope, who raised his head.

The first thing that catches the eye is a black iron lump with four wheels.

I don't know what this iron lump is. There is a thick pipe on it that is still smoking white smoke. It feels a bit like a carriage, but there is no horse?

Outside the iron lump, stood several strong soldiers wearing exquisite armor.

Viscount Hope didn't know what the iron lump was, but he knew at a glance that it was not easy.

Whether it's the opponent's exquisite armor or the long spears flashing in their hands, it shows that this set of equipment is not cheap!

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was not equipped with a knight sword to represent his identity, Viscount Hope suspected that these people were all knights!

When did Hongyecheng become so rich?

Viscount Hope adjusted his mood and buried the slightest contempt in his heart.

"Everyone, I am Viscount Hope, the city lord of Garman City. I don't know what you are doing here?"

Viscount Hope stepped forward and spoke very politely.

It's always right to be polite before you find out the details of the other party.

"Hello Viscount Hope!"

One of the soldiers frowned subconsciously. The smell on Viscount Hope was a bit rushed, but he still smiled and said hello, and then said again.

"I came to inform Viscount Hope on the order of my city lord, and within a month, please come to Hongye City to meet our city lord. If you don't arrive, you will be at your own risk."

Viscount Hope, who was originally smiling, turned ugly in an instant.

The children behind him were even more furious.

"Bold, a little soldier, dare to speak to my father like this!"

"Red Leaf City? How dare you? You dare to order a viscount. Could it be that your city lord is an earl who has never appeared in the extreme north?"

Seeing these people look furious, the soldier was not angry, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"I'm sorry, our Lord of the City is not an earl, but a marquis!"

As soon as the word "Marquis" came out, the scene instantly fell silent.

Hope subconsciously wanted to ridicule, this extreme northern land has not even had an earl for so many years, how could there be a marquis? Please understand before you brag about it!

But before he could say anything, the Red Leaf City soldier spoke again.

"Our Lord City Lord is not only a Marquis, but the entire northern land has been rewarded by His Majesty the King to our Lord City Lord! What does this mean, I don't need to explain more?"

"How, how is it possible!"

Viscount Hope didn't believe it at all.

He couldn't know how big the extreme north was. How could such a big place be rewarded as a fief? Taking a step back, even if it was a reward, it would have to be a duke!

"Viscount Hope, the news has been brought to you. Whether you go or not is up to you, but please remember, if our Lord of the City does not see you within a month..."

If the Red Leaf City soldier threatens, even a fool can hear it.

"you!"

Viscount Hope was instantly furious.

A soldier, who dares to speak to him like this, really doesn't treat a viscount as a noble?

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the Red Leaf City soldier wave his hand.

"Go, go to the next city!"

rumbling~

Hearing the sudden sound of the iron lump in front of him, Viscount Hope and the others were startled and took a step back subconsciously. These soldiers opened the door of the iron lump.

"Viscount Hope, please don't forget the words of our Lord of the City."

The Red Leaf City soldier reminded him one last time, and then left under the shocked eyes of Hope and others.

"Ah this... it can move? It runs so fast! What is this!"

"Wow! I can actually run, I really want to sit on it and feel it!"

"..."

"Lord Viscount, we..."

Only the soldiers who notified Viscount Hope before dared to speak.

"Marquis? The lord of the extreme north? It doesn't look like it's fake!"

Viscount Hope frowned.

If an ordinary soldier came to tell him, he would definitely not believe it, but let's not say that these soldiers were elite divisions at first glance, and he said that the magical iron tower, he had never seen it in his life!

Someone who can have such a magical thing must have an unusual identity! After all, ordinary people can't afford it.

"Sir, are you really going?"

asked Viscount Hope's wife in a low voice.

"...Go! Whether it's true or not, it's not a big problem to go, but before you go, you have to discuss with Viscount Kitts and the others... Go and prepare the carriage!"

"Yes!"

Inside the steam car, the soldier looked at the map and said:

"Turn left and go to the territory of Viscount Kitts."

"good."

...

...

The far north, Vic City.

This is a city three or four times bigger than Garman City.

Compared with Garman City, the residents of Vic City are obviously much happier.

Whether it is the supply of food or the level of safety, it is much higher than that of Garman City, especially the city owner of Vic City is a well-known and good man who is very popular among the common people.

But compared with the commoners, the city lord Viscount Robbins has some headaches.

"Lord Viscount, we are running out of food. If we still support those refugees, we may not have enough..."

Hearing what his subordinates said, Viscount Robbins, who was wearing a suit of armor, was a little helpless.

"Hey! I don't know if it was a mistake to let these refugees in at first..."

"Of course the Viscount is right! If you didn't let them in, more than a thousand people would have frozen to death outside the city!"

The subordinates looked at the City Lord Road gratefully, because among these refugees, there were also his relatives.

"But it is precisely these more than 1,000 refugees who have already consumed almost all the supplies in our city. We could support it for a month or two, but now... at this time, there is no city that sells food. Right? Even if I have gold coins, there is nowhere to buy them!"

Viscount Robbins looked embarrassed.

"This……"

The subordinates don't know how to comfort the Viscount.

"Lord Viscount, there are guests coming from outside, claiming to be from Hongye City, saying that he has something important to tell Viscount in person!"

Suddenly, a notification sound came from outside the door.

"Huh? Hongye City? Hongye City is still there? I'll take a look!"

Viscount Robbins put these worries aside for the moment.

These Red Leaf City soldiers also did not enter the city, and Viscount Robbins didn't care. After arriving at the city gate, he was surprised to see the magical steam car.

After hearing the intentions of these people, Viscount Robbins was also in disbelief.

There is actually a marquis in the extreme north, and the fief of this marquis is the entire extreme north? This is not a dream!

But no matter how shocked he was, the soldiers left after the notification. Although there are few people in the extreme north, they are scattered. They want to be notified as much as possible. This is a big project, and they dare not stop for a moment.

Seeing the other party rumbled away in the steam car, Viscount Robbins was stunned for a moment, or his subordinates called him, and he came back to his senses.

"Lord Marquis, to rule the extreme north? My hope is true, then I might have a place to settle for more than a thousand refugees..."

Viscount Robbins muttered to himself for a while, and then said to his subordinates:

"You go to inform everyone, come to the City Lord's Mansion, and discuss something important!"

"Yes!"

...

...

Such a scenario occurred in many places in the extreme north, causing quite a stir.

After all, the far north, which has been stocked for many years, has become someone else's fief. For these little lords, this is a big deal!

Basically, most people don't believe it subconsciously. Only when the news of the appointment comes from the capital can they believe it 100%.

But at this time, it is definitely impossible for Wangdu to send people to the cold extreme north, and at least it will have to wait for another two months before someone can come.

However, this so-called Lord Marquis obviously does not want them to wait for two months.

But whether they believe it or not, most people choose to come.

If it is false, his deceitful behavior will naturally be severely punished by His Majesty the King. If it is true, then they will not offend the new Marquis.

Of course, since there are people who choose to come, there are also people who choose not to come.

The most northerly land, Cloud Sea City.

This is a rather special city.

It is located in the easternmost part of the extreme north and is built by the sea. It is an out-and-out sea city, and it is also a city of sins famous far and near!

Cloud Sea City is huge, much bigger than the gateway to the extreme north, Silver Pine City.

In fact, Yinsong City was called "the most prosperous city in the land of the level" before. This statement is wrong and inaccurate. The most prosperous city in the extreme north has always been the City of Clouds.

There are two reasons why Silver Pine City has won this reputation.

One is that many outsiders have been to Yinsong City, but Yunhai City, let alone going, they may have never heard of it.

Another is that as a city of sin, Yunhai City has many things that are not visible, and they do not want Yunhai City to be too famous.

If you let His Majesty the King know about such a place and want to rectify Yunhai City on a whim one day, those people in Yunhai City will feel a little uncomfortable.

Businessmen who go out to do business from the extreme north will not talk nonsense to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Yunhai City is very famous in the extreme north, but it is rarely known outside the extreme north.

In Yunhai City, the forces of all sizes are intricate.

Nobles, commoners, gangs, pirates, bounty hunters, outlaws, wanted criminals and more.

Among them, the most powerful are the three forces.

The first was the City Lord's Mansion, which was jointly formed by a group of nobles.

Although this is a place of chaos, it also has its own set of order, and the City Lord's Mansion naturally has it.

However, this City Lord's Mansion only maintains part of the order.

To put it simply, if you do something bad to Yunhai City, the City Lord's Mansion will take action. Yunhai City is the foundation of everyone and cannot be destroyed.

But if you are just chasing and killing, seeking revenge and other "trivial things", the City Lord's Mansion will not care at all, and you won't even say a word when you see it.

This is also the reason why many outlaws like Yunhai City. Here, as long as you are strong enough, what you say is the king's law!

The second force is the Hunter Guild.

Speaking of the bounty hunter profession, it's quite interesting.

Bounty hunters are divided into part-time hunters and professional hunters.

This is not a division of strength, but a division of identity.

Professional hunters, as the name suggests, specialize in this line of work and make a living from it.

Part-time hunters, that is, besides bounty hunters, they have another or even multiple identities.

Maybe a knight who protects the nobles during the day will turn into a bounty hunter at night to hunt the nobles!

Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not non-existent!

After all, you have come to this chaotic place, and you still believe in the loyalty of knights, which is really stupid.

Here, the only belief is gold coins!

The Hunter Guild is formed by countless professional hunters. They may not be very strong in frontal combat, but if they are targeted, you will only have the difference between dying early and dying earlier.

Of course, you can receive quests from the Hunter Guild, and naturally you can also post quests.

As long as you are willing to pay gold coins, you can issue a mission to assassinate His Majesty the King, but no one will take it.

It's not that they don't dare, the desperados have nothing to dare, but the price may not be too high to a certain extent, and no one is willing to take risks.

The potential strength of the Hunter Guild has always been the strongest among these three forces, but it is difficult to gather everyone together at once, and they basically don't care about Yunhai City, they only care about their own bounty.

The third force was a force jointly formed by several major gangs in Yunhai City, called the Yunhai Alliance.

If the City Lord's Mansion is the official spokesperson of Yunhai City, then the Yunhai Alliance is the folk spokesperson of Yunhai City.

The most important task for the existence of the City Lord's Mansion is to keep Yunhai City in operation, or to deal with it when officials from the Royal Capital really come one day.

As for other things, the City Lord's Mansion doesn't care at all.

But there are many things the City Lord's Mansion doesn't want to manage, and there are many people who want to manage it!

So, gangs came into being.

The civilians and refugees in Yunhai City are basically under the jurisdiction of various gangs. The gangs protect them from harm, and they work for the gangs.

These gangs cannot say that they are all bad people, because many cities do not want refugees. When winter comes, or there is a famine, the dead refugees hide outside. The refugees can survive here because these gangs want them.

But let alone the fact that gangs are good people, because gangs treat civilians and refugees under their jurisdiction just like animals. Beating and scolding is common, and killing them is also common.

Their purpose is to squeeze every cent of the value of these civilians and refugees, and whether they can end well in the end depends on the mood of these gangs.

Because there are two behemoths, the City Lord's Mansion and the Hunter Guild, it is too difficult to develop a third force, but these gangs are not willing to be subservient, so the largest of these gangs, the common The Cloud Sea Alliance was jointly formed to compete for the right to speak.

The result, of course, was a success.

As for those small gangs, they are also sheltered by the Cloud Sea Alliance. Of course, they have to pay.

The strength of the Yunhai Alliance may not be the strongest, but it is definitely the most numerous, and it is the mainstay of Yunhai City.

There is competition, friction, and cooperation among these three forces.

But no matter what~www.readwn.com~ they are the unrepentant three hegemons in Cloud Sea City.

Under this, there are also many forces, such as pirates.

Because the pirates' home is not here, but at sea, so in Yunhai City, pirates may not be strong, but in the sea, pirates are absolute overlords!

Therefore, in Yunhai City, the three major forces will also give the pirates a lot of face.

Pirates are thieves at sea, so naturally there are thieves on land. Such people are generally called horse thieves.

There are also in Yunhai City. Similarly, the den of horse thieves is not in Yunhai City. When they trade here, horse thieves are also a force that people do not want to provoke. They may not have strong personal strength, but they are like hyenas. To them, you will die miserably!

...

Today, Cloud Sea City is very lively.

I heard that horse thieves have seized a treasure to sell. It is a carriage that can run without horses!
