Chapter 81 Shock

When the businessman Kallio came to Idar Territory again, everything in front of him felt extremely strange.

Different from the mud of Stranglethorn Valley, the road after crossing Stranglethorn Valley is obviously much easier to walk than before. At first glance, it is a new road that has just been laid.

The brand-new road was extremely hard. Although Calio didn't know exactly what kind of materials the road was built with, what surprised him most was that the carriage didn't feel any bumps at all when walking on it.

Even on the road from the Norman Empire to the imperial capital, I'm afraid there won't be such a smooth road!

It seems...

Just as I had guessed before, the Stuart family dormant in the eastern part of the empire was indeed a local powerhouse with huge power.

Otherwise, how could such a road be built?

When he thought of this, a glimmer of hope ignited again in Kallio's originally depressed heart...

According to Calio's original plan, after completing the last transaction, he planned to use his life savings to purchase the lowest title with a territory from the noble members of the Regency Council.

The Norman Empire does not have strict control over lower-level titles. Therefore, as long as you have the right connections and offer the right price, the nobles who have lived in the imperial capital of St. Lawrence for a long time may be able to sell you a nobleman who happens to have no title. Lord’s territory.

There are various reasons why this territory is ownerless. Most of them are because the original owner of this territory passed away without leaving an heir. Such a noble territory is usually regarded as the best choice, and there are often a large number of wealthy businessmen. Competing bidding.

The other type was created by some bold aristocratic councillors, relying on the vague administrative planning of certain areas to secretly separate them from the provinces directly under the emperor's jurisdiction.

The price of such territory and title is relatively low, and it is usually not noticed by others, but once discovered, it will be fatal!

After spending most of his life running around, Kallio finally got in touch with an aristocratic member of the Regency Council, so Kallio handed over most of his life savings to the aristocratic member.

But unfortunately, Kallio, who was only one step away from realizing a class leap, was about to take the final step when he learned that the aristocratic councilor had been hanged for secretly dividing the royal property...

When he received the news, Kallio almost fainted.

But as a blessing in misfortune, although he handed over all his life savings in the notebook to the unlucky noble councilor, Kallio has not been implicated yet...

However, Saint Lawrence could not stay any longer, as he might be implicated at some point.

therefore……

When he was feeling discouraged, for some reason, Kallio suddenly thought of the Earl who lived in the eastern part of the empire.

Sugar, sea salt…

perhaps……

Can he lead a comeback in the distant Idar?

So, with only one slave and a carriage, Kallio led towards Idar.

Through the curtains on the carriage window, Kallio looked at the vast land of Idar Territory.

In this field south of Idar City, countless serfs and civilians are cultivating vast fields.

Different from the dull and almost suffocating atmosphere in the interior of the empire, every corner of the Idar Territory seemed to be filled with vitality.

The civilians drove the cattle to cultivate the fields, and behind the cattle was pulling a strange-shaped instrument. Apparently, that thing was also unique to the Idar Territory!

There were serfs who had just finished their work walking on the roadside. Looking from a distance, their faces did not seem to have any expressions of grievance and depression. Instead, they had a sense of accomplishment after finishing a day's work ahead of schedule. It was as if he was cultivating his own fields, which surprised Calio from the bottom of his heart.

When the carriage drove in from the south gate of Idar City, Kallio's surprise became even more intense.

On another road south of Idar City Gate, there are also sparse carriages appearing one after another. Although the number is not very large, you must know that when Kallio came to Idar Territory last time, Except for his own caravan, there was not even a single foreign carriage or caravan in the huge Idar territory!

After spending six copper coins to obtain temporary passes for Idar City for himself and his servants, Kallio finally successfully entered Idar City.

Holding the small white piece of paper with the seal of the Idar Immigration Administration in his hand, Kallio felt that the city of Idar, so close in front of him, seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil.

The appearance of Idar City has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the last time. The streets after entering the city have more than doubled in width, enough to accommodate several carriages traveling side by side.

If Kallio hadn't known in advance that this was the Idar Territory located in the eastern part of the empire, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I'm afraid he would have thought that he was in a large city in the interior of the empire.

However, Idar City does not have the same dirty and chaotic side as those big cities. As early as the last time Kallio came to Idar City, he was impressed by the fresh air in Idar City.

In addition, the original old houses along the street have also been demolished and replaced by a row of neat Norman-style buildings, and many of the shops have opened their doors, and people come and go from time to time.

The closest to the city gate is a newly opened tavern, which is also the shop with the most traffic on this street.

So, driven by curiosity, Kallio asked the servant to look at the carriage while he walked into the tavern.

Different from those messy and noisy taverns, the atmosphere of this tavern is obviously much better. Although there are rough mercenaries coming and going, most of the guests have a separate booth, so it doesn't feel too cluttered. .

but……

The wine sold in this tavern is pitiful. Not only is there no wine that the nobles like, but there is also no ordinary barley beer that the mercenaries drink most.

There are only two types of alcohol currently on sale, one is called whiskey and the other is vodka.

But without exception, both are much more expensive than common alcohol.

Looking at these two names that he had never heard of before, Kallio felt more and more curious.

"A glass of vodka," Kallio said.

He wanted to see how the wine brought by Idar was different from other places.
