Frost Rose, the first district, the former Ruhrna Country, Mozwa, the capital
of the clock tower.
The chimneys on the outskirts emit thick black smoke, neat rows of factories
are densely packed on both sides of the river, and tall ships slowly pass by
the river, bringing up a long wake. These ships sailed inland from a distant
seaport, constantly unloading all kinds of heavy cargo, some black coal, some
heavy metals.
These things are shipped from all over, and then gathered here, they will be
processed into various alchemical products, and then sold to various places.
These include weapons, artillery, clocks, binoculars, metal parts, etc. The
huge benefits generated by them make the alchemists of Ruhrna very wealthy.
The streets in the city are very spacious, and the brass street lamps are
exquisite in shape. Unfortunately, some corners have been covered with a faint
rust.
There was a small amount of stagnant water on the road after the rain, and
there was a burst of water splashing as the carriages passed by. Some of these
horse-drawn carriages are drawn by horses, and some rely on machines to run,
or should not be called horse-drawn carriages. Magical locomotives are more
appropriate.
As a magic locomotive stopped, first a middle-aged man with the appearance of
a housekeeper got out of the car, then opened the door and helped a girl in a
blue skirt to walk down gently.
The high heel stepped on the wet floor, and a slight splash sounded. The girl
with blonde hair and blue dress looked up at the towering building in front of
her lower body, the long spire stretched to the sky. There are four huge stone
pillars in front of the main entrance, and people in dresses and shoes keep
coming in and out of the gate, and there are voices of various conversations
from time to time.
"Is this the branch of the Ajani Chamber of Commerce?" The girl walked forward
with her skirt, and several bodyguards in black walked behind her. Looking at
the exquisite patterns of the mechanical long swords in the hands of these
bodyguards, you know that these are excellent alchemy creations after
enchanting.
"Yes, Missy."
The steward on the side led the way, and then introduced the background of the
Ajani Chamber of Commerce.
"The Ajani Chamber of Commerce mainly deals in books and paper, but also in
opera and performance industries."
"It is said that in recent years, because of the training of a group of famous
singers, performing operas and poetry, the sales of their books have increased
greatly." The steward continued.
"Then their products should be very popular among aristocrats and rich ladies.
Why not set up their headquarters here? The rich people in Mozwa should be
among the top three in Xuehua Seven. Besides, The alchemists and scholars of
our country are more interested in literature and drama than the profit-loving
Ubere businessman, and they have more guests."
"Well, it is said that most of their paper mills are located on the side of
Wilga, because it is close to the forest farm and some raw material producing
areas, which is more convenient. Later, when Wilga was split, they were also
assigned to the western side, and only part of the industry was transferred."
"New Verga..." The blonde lady walked into the hall thoughtfully, looking at
the rows of windows and long lines.
"There are a lot of people, have you made an appointment in advance?"
"The appointment is ready. Miss, please come with me. The person in charge of
the Aoni branch is on the third floor." The butler walked in front, and then
asked an entourage behind him to contact the waiter in the chamber of commerce
first.
Soon after, several people in neat uniforms stepped forward to greet them.
"Welcome to the eldest lady from Shelia's family, please come with us." A long
red carpet was put down, and then stood on both sides and bent over to salute.
Looking at the grand scene in the hall, some people next to it began to talk.
"Who is that lady? Makes the Aroni Chamber of Commerce so welcome."
"I don't know, but looking at her appearance and the bodyguards around her,
she should have been born in a big family."
"I haven't seen it, but she is really beautiful." A guest sighed.
"Okay, okay, just the few words that come and go, you are a literary lover
anyway, don't you know other adjectives?"
"Isn't this just casual? It's better to keep it simple in life. Anyone of you
knows that lady? I want to know her name."
"But I don't know."
"I don't know."
A long time later a voice came from the corner: "That is the leader of the
Hour Hand faction, the eldest lady of the Shelia family, Letis."
As the voice fell, the blonde girl disappeared at the corner of the stairs.
As the capital of Rulna, Mozwa was known as the capital of clock towers. This
is because in the early years, clocks and watches were precision creations,
and only a few alchemists could make them. Therefore, they were in short
supply among the nobles and wealthy people, and their value was extremely
high. high.
Most alchemists are also proud of being able to make accurate clocks. Mozwa is
also the capital city. Many well-known alchemists in the country have
gathered. Most of them will build a large clock tower on the building of the
faction. , In order to highlight their own technical excellence, but also has
the role of advertising.
In this way, there are more and more clock towers in Mozwani, and finally it
is named the clock tower capital.
Hundreds of years later, Rulna’s alchemists have multiplied. Although the
precision of clocks and watches has gradually ceased to be rare, these clock
towers have been preserved. And to this day, some alchemy factions also retain
their initial names. The'Hour of the Hand' is one of them. As a faction that
started to make watches, it is still one of the six strongest factions in the
country, and the leader family Descendants of, Letis naturally also has a lot
of power.

Agoni Branch, third floor.
"In other words, does Miss Letis want to publish this publication by herself?"
A middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and neat waistcoat sat on the sofa,
looked at the blond lady on the opposite side, and asked carefully.
"Yes, everyone’s aesthetics are too vulgar nowadays. They are still the kind
of thick face, layered skirts, and the accessories hanging on them are
estimated to weigh a few kilograms. Decorating women as vases makes it
uncomfortable to look at. ."
After finishing speaking in detail, the blond girl picked up the white
porcelain tea cup in front of her and took a sip. She was dissatisfied with
the current styles of clothing for a long time. When other girls of the same
age were still chasing trends, she was already thinking about how Create a
trend.
"Then what are your thoughts, or Miss Letis, what kind of beautiful style do
you want to convey?" The head of the chamber of commerce thought about the
words and asked the lady cautiously. The current headquarters of the Aoni
Chamber of Commerce is far west. As a branch, this side is already weak. If
this young lady is offended, it is estimated that he will encounter various
troubles in the future, which is not what he wants to see.
"Well..." Letis put down the tea cup, but her thoughts gradually drifted to
the distant roommate, the friend who hardly wears accessories.
"Perhaps a little more simple and natural, it will be much better."
The blond lady seemed to be inspired, and described a new dressing style to
the head of the Chamber of Commerce in front of her, focusing on simplicity
and freshness, while the other party bothered to understand the lady’s
whimsical ideas. , And then write them down one by one.
"We have a rough idea of Miss Letis's thoughts, but we probably won’t be
able to release the first edition until next year."
"No, even if you find someone to make an appointment, do the preparation work
and print, it won't take so long." Letis was a little confused.
"I'm very sorry, because the current printing line is already running at full
capacity, and there is really no room to re-commission and print new
products..."
"Are you perfunctory me? Or treat me as a child?"
Although her temper was somewhat tempered in school, the eldest lady who
returned to her homeland ~www.mtlnovel.com~Letis's temper came up again.
Moreover, what she said is not unreasonable. With so many printing houses in
Agoni, it is a trivial matter to free up their hands to print a few magazines.
"Sorry, this...how it would be better to explain to you. It is indeed an
extraordinary situation at the moment. I am inconvenient to say directly. If
you ask the Patriarch of Shelia, he will tell you the reason." The Aoni
Chamber of Commerce is responsible. He wiped the sweat from his forehead,
trying to explain the reason.
Letis turned to the butler behind him with a little doubt, and the latter
leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Miss, the Aouni Chamber of Commerce really can't make a move at the moment,
because the war is about to begin."
In the distant Principality of Black Rock, the Kingdom of Falcon, and the
Kingdom of Sanctuary, airships passed from high above, snow-like papers fell
from the sky, and documents printed with rose patterns announced the four
directions.
Under the sky, the rose-patterned flags gradually stood up and rushed to the
distance.
