Vol 6 Chapter 100: North frozen harbor

Just after the New Year, the cold winter still hangs over the entire Sainz continent. £∝,
The Marlow Empire is located in the northern part of the mainland. In the winter, it is naturally colder than the countries in the southern part of the continent.
The small town of Stasom, located in the northernmost part of the Marlow Empire, is more than just a colder problem than the rest of the continent. It is almost completely two worlds.
When the cold wind blowing from the endless sea in the north enters the south wind of the mainland, it can only be regarded as a breeze, which makes people feel a little bit chilly. When the small town of Stratholme faces this cold wind, it will be found. On the face, it is like a sharp face, blowing a face and stinging.
"wire"
A cold wind came in and let Hogan and Decado indulge in a cold breath, and couldn't help but wrap the skin wrapped around him tighter and his neck shrunk. Even a pair of eyes that were only exposed outside could not help but squat, leaving only one gap to look north.
"Hey, Decado, you said that on such a cold day, even if we meet with the people who transported the fleet, how can we ship the goods back?" Hogan’s voice through the mask was extremely dull. Dicardo felt a bit strange in his ears.
But of course this is not the problem that Dikato cares about at this time. He glanced at the sea where he couldn't see anything in the distance, and smiled and shook his head.
"You can only take a step and see. The guy who transported the fleet did not follow the plan at all, more than two months later than the scheduled time. If they arrived more than two months ago, the weather It’s not so cold, it’s much easier.

Hogan was silent for a moment. Sighed: "This can't blame them. After all, it's a place far from Stein Ding. It's a complete journey around the whole continent. It's so long. The sea situation is so complicated, there is a sudden break in the middle. The situation is inevitable. To be honest, they can arrive safely, it is already very powerful."
"Well... that's right."
Decado should have a sentence, once again looking at the Stratholme harbour in the distance.
The port was originally the largest seaport in the north of the Marlow Empire. After the New Flying Chamber of Commerce signed an agreement with the Marlow Empire last year, it invested 3 million gold coins for renovation and expansion, and built a new seaport that can accommodate large ships.
The fleet that the New Flyers Association sent last year to explore the northern waters led by Nieval. It is the destination of this seaport.
Originally in accordance with the plan, the first fleet of the new Flyer Transport Fleet led by Nieval should arrive in October last year.
At that time, the Marlow Empire was only in the early winter, and the weather was normal.
However, the first fleet was delayed for more than two months at sea, and even lost contact at one time, so that the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce almost thought that they had any accidents, all buried in the endless sea.
Fortunately, Xu’s two magical airships, which were sent to them for security reasons, played a big role at this time. In the middle of last month, about half a month after the fleet lost contact, a magical airship flew to the cable. The territory of the Marquis of Skade brought the message of the fleet.
After receiving the message. Hogan, who is the head of the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce in Malo, and the deputy head of the office, and also the main liaison, Dicardo immediately organized the staff and the team. Came to Stratholme.
After they came here, they waited for more than half a month. They kept close contact with the fleet through the magic airship every day. Finally, they got the certain information three days ago, and the fleet will arrive safely at Stratholme today.
So today, although the cold wind is cold, the temperature outside is freezing to death, but the two left the warm bed early in the morning and came to the port of Stratholme.
After Diccardo observed the Stratholme harbour for a while, he spit out a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I was worried that as the weather gets colder, the harbour will probably be completely frozen and there is no way to stop it. Now it seems that even if the weather is cold, it is also necessary to completely freeze the endless sea. impossible things."
Hogan heard the words and laughed: "We were completely scared by the rumors of these guys in the Marlow Empire. They said that as soon as they entered the winter, the endless sea would be frozen and there would be no way to go out to sea. I thought at the time. They are saying that the whole sea is full of ice. Now, if you look at it, there is ice, but it’s nothing like that.
"You can't say that they are completely wrong. After all, the fishermen here are just some small wooden boats. They are scattered at the sea by these floating ice cubes." Diccardo sneered. "When they see our steel ship and ship of the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce, they will know that such ice is not a problem at all."
Hogan shrugged. "No way, who made them have no idea. When the fleet arrived, the guys saw the various magical machines that our fleet produced by the fleet. I don't know how surprised."
Decado and Hogan looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Before the two came to the Marlow Empire, they had a fear and deep sense of inferiority to this huge empire, but when they finally came to the Marlow Empire, they stayed here for half a year, but found the Marlow Empire apart. In addition to the large area, the rest of the country is much worse than the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Constantine.
Most of the people who come into contact with each other are the aristocrats and big businessmen of the Marlow Empire. These people are undoubtedly the top group in the Marlow Empire. Their lives are indeed extremely luxurious and luxurious.
However, in Dicardo and Hogan, the lives of these people are extravagant, but they are very backward in any aspect, so that they will find it inconvenient in all aspects of life.
After the two men stayed here for half a year, not only did the fear of this huge empire disappear completely, but they even gave birth to a strange superiority.
The Marquis of Sosgaard and the large aristocrats around him still made them feel superior, not to mention the aristocratic merchants in the small town of Stratholme.
During the half-month of Stratholme, all the nobles and merchants they had contacted left them with a very strong impression of the unseen street.
Of course, the living conditions of these guys are even worse than the farmers in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Constantine.
At least the peasants of the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Constantine are not happy to eat meat...
The two waited patiently for about twenty minutes, and suddenly there was a familiar roar in the distant sky.
When they both looked up, they saw a black shadow flying in the sky in the northwest, quickly approaching, turning into a magic airship, and then slowly falling down on the flat on the port of Stratholme.
"Right, Hogan, you said that the wind is so big now, how does this magical airship fly so smoothly in the sky? Don't you feel strange?" Dikado suddenly asked.
Huo came to prepare to lift his foot and walked over. After hearing this question, he stunned. Shantou thought for a while and shook his head: "I am not a magic research institute and a research and development center. You ask me how I know."
"Yes." Decado shrugged. "After a while, ask Captain Yin En."
The two men walked quickly to the magic airship, and at this time the door of the magic airship was also opened. Captain Ian of the magic airship mentioned by Dikado just jumped from above and came to the two in a few steps. Loud: "Hogan is in charge, the fleet can withstand it in an hour or so, please do all the preparations right away!"
Hogan nodded: "Okay."
It’s no nonsense, and when I turn around, I’ll arrange the people I’ve been preparing for and start making some final preparations for the arrival of the fleet.
In fact, these preparations have already been properly arranged in the past two months. What we need to do now is to confirm it again.
The remaining Dicardo and Ian captain exchanged some specific situations.
The content of their conversation is mainly focused on whether the fleet has special needs such as replenishment, corrections, etc., and then confirm the arrangements after the arrival of the fleet.
For example, according to the plan, the fleet will first unload the goods at the port of Stratholme, and then the first sale of Stratholme and the surrounding cities, and then decide how much to enter the hinterland of Marlow Empire.
This sea route, which has been explored for more than four months, will communicate with the coastal countries passing by, but the main task is to contact the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Malo, and eventually with the Principality of Constantine. The land trade routes leading directly to the Marlow Empire are connected to form a complete business district.
After chatting for a while, Dicardo suddenly thought of the problem that he had inadvertently thought of, and he proposed it to Captain Ian.
"Standing in a high altitude flight?" Captain Yin En smiled and waved: "Dicardo executive, you should not think these problems, the magicians of the Magic Research Institute will not think of it?"
"No, no, I certainly think they will want it, but I can't figure it out. The wind is so big, why can the magic airship fly so smoothly?"
"This is... In fact, there is an aerodynamic balancer on the magic airship. Don't ask me what it is, because I don't know. I only know that if you encounter strong winds in the sky, you can open this. The aerodynamic balancing device can then offset a large portion of the gusty winds and keep the magic airships stable in the air."
"So amazing?" Dicardo blinked and thought about it. He guessed: "The magic airship relies on wind magic to fly in the air. Then this aerodynamic balance device must be a wind magic?

Captain Ian rolled his eyes: "Don't ask me, I just know how to use it, don't need to know the principle."
Decado thought for a while, still couldn't figure out the principle, and could only helplessly sigh: "Well, now these things that our Chamber of Commerce produces, even the people in the Chamber of Commerce are not completely able to understand. I see, Those guys outside the Chamber of Commerce want to copy it at random, it’s just a dream!
