When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 690: The Thousand River Valley is full of vitality
Sitting in the carriage at sunset, Horn staggered as he read the file in his hand.

Although I got a lot of information about Serfaye, there was not a single piece of information related to Starcast Gears and the Ether Spire.

He asked Acatlan to meet with the top leaders of the Order of the Scales, hoping to exchange more information and related technologies in order to find clues, and paid the price of half a tube of blood for this.

However, it will probably take some time to obtain information and documents from them.

The only clue left at the moment is Master Cynthia.

But she has gone crazy and I don’t know where she has run to. How can I find her?
After closing the file, Horn rubbed his forehead. He could only wait until he arrived at Tiannv City to ask Otatira to see if she had any clues.

Two days later, in addition to the troops stationed in Sola Castle and Dragonfly Harbor, thousands of guards and divine punishment monks marched into Tiannv City in step, amid the falling dust at the porch.

When they saw those neat and high-spirited faces, the residents of the city threw purple, blue and pink petals all over the sky in tribute.

The falcon cannon shot colored paper into the sky, and the whistling and roaring sounds made the wizard councilors and prisoners of war who had seen it change color.

They had seen firsthand how the Salvation Army fought.

The clockwork cannons spewed out meteorites that destroyed the city walls of the old times, and the kite-shaped shields and flaming swords could not stop the alternating advance of the spears and holy guns.

Countless brave warriors and knights had their armor and flesh pierced by lead bullets before they could even get close to these war monks in black and gray clothes.

The era of swords and shields is over, now it is the era of guns and cannons!
The crowd standing on the city walls and terraces all focused their eyes on the chariot that rolled over the petals.

Surrounded by countless soldiers, Horn, wearing a golden olive branch crown, stood on a bronze chariot in the style of Ancient Air and waved to the people on both sides.

…………

Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Meliati pushed the top of the newspaper forward, revealing half of her fair, childish face, with eyes and eyebrows exactly the same as her mother's.

The wooden door slowly opened, and in the dim light, Horn, with his collar open, walked into the room. When he saw Meliati, he was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"The founding of the Black Snake Bay nation is a big deal. As a member of the Holy Axis Federation, how can I not come?" Meliati stuck out her tongue. "When I was a child, I would come to Black Snake Bay every year to spend the winter. I am much more familiar with Tiannu City and Changdi City than you are."

"Has the time for the first Black Snake Bay Federation Wizard Conference been determined?" Horn picked up the bone china teacup, poured a cup of black tea, and sat opposite Meliati.

Meliati put down the newspaper and crossed her hands elegantly on her knees. "It's scheduled for May 5th, which is three days from now."

The so-called First Wizard Conference of the Black Snake Bay Federation is essentially the same as the Thousand River Valley Constitutional Convention of that year.

Even the Black Snake Bay Joint Declaration was adapted from the Thousand River Valley Freedom Charter.

According to the current situation, the Northern County has a total of 104 million people and 52 seats, the Central County has 92 people and 46 seats, the Southern County has 106 million people and 53 seats, and the Eastern County and Western County each have 10 honorary seats.

After all, one of these two places is still controlled by the church, and the other is a wild land, so it is impossible to organize a parliament and they have to give up.

Therefore, a total of 171 members of parliament attended this time, including 13 witches including Meliati, Jeanne and Horn.

Although Esena and Veronica from the Tarot Society were strongly opposed to the Horn Customs Union, they still actively participated in the conference.

On the contrary, the witch Miria of the Golden Cross firmly refused to participate, but another witch joined under the persuasion of Otatira, and the total number of people remained the same as before the war. This conference not only attracted the attention of a large number of autonomous settlements and secluded secret parties, but also attracted many people from the Thousand River Valley to come and watch.

Although it has joined the Holy Axis, it is basically certain that the Black Snake Bay, which has been fighting each other for many years, will finally establish a country in the near future.

Thousand River Valley and Black Snake Bay, the two areas at the forefront of the resistance against the Church, are now uniting together.

The most important thing is that with the borders between the two sides open, the people of Black Snake Bay and Thousand River Valley can move freely, and cheap food and daily necessities will flow into Black Snake Bay along the Ibe River.

The better days are yet to come!

Glancing at the latest Pravda newspaper, Horn glanced at the main headline: "What is the situation in the Thousand River Valley during this period?"

"You still remember?" Meliati said with a hint of pouting, "I thought you had forgotten about our Thousand River Valley."

While Horn was making trouble in Black Snake Bay, Thousand River Valley was also busy.

By the end of January, all four plain counties had completed their transformation into 100-household districts. Although many turbulent incidents occurred during this period, they were all bloody suppressed by Meliati.

During the four months from February to May, North Mound County and North County were successively divided into 100-household districts and began to pilot the Enrico crop rotation system.

A large number of nobles no longer needed to guard and suppress civilians, so they gathered around the county seat.

They are unwilling to live in dirty cities, so they basically live in the countryside outside the city, causing the land prices near Chalet Green City, Rapids City, and Jeanne d'Arc to soar.

In addition, due to various bans and preferential treatment for industry and commerce, these nobles began to invest their spare money in shops and workshops.

Those who pursue profits will basically choose to invest in building their own workshops and shops, while those who seek stability will generally buy bonds and stocks.

The result is that the Thousand River Valley's business, which had rapidly withered during the war and blockade, is recovering at an unimaginable speed.

Especially after the densely packed tax checkpoints on the river were removed, the efficiency and conditions of water transportation have improved a little bit compared to before. The orders for merchant ships and barges in Xiaochi City will be scheduled until next year.

Wool from the Gravelfields travels downstream with iron ingots from North Moundshire, where it is turned into yarn for Autumnset Isle, and the iron ingots are turned into orichalcum and rails.

These threads are further processed in the textile mills on Autumn Island and turned into rolls of woolen cloth, and then continue south to Jeanne d'Arc Castle, where they are either shipped directly with Jeanne d'Arc paper or processed into clothes in local garment workshops before being shipped away.

Along with the ready-made clothes and paper, it was not only the gold pounds that were spread throughout the Thousand River Valley, but also a large number of monks from the Holy Way Sect.

In the great winter debate, the natural theology theory jointly proposed by Horn and Shilov gradually gained a foothold in the monk community.

Surrounding several missionary centers, fanatical monks spread across most of the plains like wildfire and scorching wind.

Although the effect is not yet obvious, at least incidents like what happened in Mason Parish have almost stopped happening.

Quoting an ancient Ayr proverb from Pravda, it is described as "a scene of thriving vitality and everything competing for development."

Even Horn himself was a little surprised. It had to be said that after being suppressed by the church and the supernatural for too long, the power and efficiency that erupted were much higher than he had imagined.
