On the other side of the East China Sea, it was a different story.
On the mainland, there was a lot of quarrels over church matters, but the east coast, which had developed commerce, was doing very well.
Especially the place close to Valla City, the territory of the King of the Forest.
Business was unprecedentedly prosperous, and most businessmen began to realize that the largest investment should be along the coast, because sea transportation could not only transport larger goods, but also was very dangerous compared to the current land transportation.
The battles in the church had attracted some people who were greedy for profit.
Using the excuse of unrest, bandits and bandits began to hijack caravans in various places.
Since local rulers were dealing with the current troubles in the church, they could no longer raise many troops.
Traveling merchants can only hire adventurers for safety, which will increase the cost.
It is said that prices in many landlocked countries have begun to skyrocket, and some civilians are afraid to buy less-used daily necessities.
Apart from daily necessities, luxury goods are even harder to find.
Most inland people are tightening their belts, including businessmen But the coastal areas are different.
Bandits cannot hijack at sea.
As for pirates, they are not encountered every day, and there is a theory circulating recently.
The Queen of the Sea Monica announced that any pirates who target the city of Valla are her enemies.
Therefore, as long as the merchant ships are flying the flag of Valla, the pirates will not care about them and will let them out of the way.
For a time, the merchant ship position in Varla Port was speculated at sky-high prices, but this area happened to be the richest.
A large amount of goods can be digested here, and the city is gradually expanding.
Some inland countries even set up merchant fleets along the canal in order to be able to do large-scale trade with Varla City.
Northern Sindar Empire.
The commander-in-chief here is called Carlomar, a general who is almost fifty years old.
The northern territory of Sindal is very close to the Varra region.
In the past six months or so, due to its geographical location, its own city has become more prosperous.
"How are you doing, my city lord's adjutant?"
Although the Sindal Empire is ruled by warlords, each big city will still choose a local wealthy family to serve as the acting city lord.
He will be the one to take part in any activities on weekdays because he is better at talking.
And those old generals can just hide behind and give orders.
"What does the Commander-in-Chief mean?"
"Of course it's about Valla City."
Kalomar said again, looking at the middle-aged man sitting opposite and drinking tea together.
Our city is different from some other places.
This city lord was originally his adjutant, and he was also a local noble who took this position naturally.
The adjutant who had not been in contact in these years has now turned into a middle-aged man with a big belly.
"The city of Valla is now the richest place in the world.
When it belonged to the Arturan Empire, it was a treasury.
Now it has become even more prosperous after it became the territory of the King of the Forest.
I heard that they have expanded the city for the fourth time. " “This is the fourth time this is so exaggerated” "Of course, but there won't be any further construction in the short term.
There must always be farms and mountain villages left in an area, and it can't all be cities." said the middle-aged man.
The biggest news in the coastal area during this time was the city of Varla, so everyone could see it.
A pearl on the seashore is rising.
"I heard that within half a year there will be almost no civilians there.
The greatest pleasure of the nobles and wealthy businessmen is to reward the poor."
"Oh, that's just a propaganda method, to improve the status of that region among the countries."
Carlomar sneered.
He knew a lot about these political methods.
If there are no poor people in a region, then there will be no rich people.

Became poor.
"Of course, these are just rumors, but the Varla area has been really rich in the past six months or so.
The places rented out at our port are all stockpiles of Varla merchants."
"I've also heard about this.
By the way, is there any news about Cam, the king of the forest?"
Calomar suddenly thought of the person who belonged to that area.
"I haven't heard of him.
It seems that no one knows his footprints since the Dwarf Kingdom.
Some people say that he went to the East China Sea with the Great Elf King."
"What are you doing there in the East China Sea?"
"I don't know.
I heard that it has something to do with the dragon, which is what happened at sea more than a year ago."
Just as the two continued to pour tea, a soldier hurried over at the door.
"Lord City Lord, and the Commander-in-Chief are also here."
"What's wrong?
What's going on?"
Looking at the beads of sweat on the soldiers' foreheads, the mainland has entered winter now.
Although it rarely snows in the east, it often rains.
If you can run all sweaty, you must be in an emergency.
"We just received news from the eastern region asking for help.
Their fleet was lost at sea."
Wang Chu took Rias, Anwenna, and Gulianna out of the Elf Forest.
There were only four people who came this time.
Wang Chu refused the elves' kind requests many times before leaving them safely in the Elf Forest. nonsense.
It would be so troublesome to go back with thousands of elves in full formation.
And they don't have much effect.
Their ordinary combat power is not as good as that of Anwenna.
Even if they are more powerful together, they are not worth mentioning in front of Gulianna.
As for the skin-changers, Wang Chu still asked them to go to the forest in the Varla area if possible.
The most convenient thing is of course the mountain eagle.
The flying beasts are indeed much more convenient to move than the others.
The others came slowly in their own way.
Wang Chu's plan is to rely on them to establish contact with the Elf Forest, so that if the human kingdom is threatened, the elves can be notified as soon as possible to help.
Gulianna was taken away by him, so it was impossible for the elves not to come out of the mountain.
Wang Chufei, who transformed into a raven, was looking for a path in the sky.
The map in Rias's hand no longer worked.
The four of them came directly along the northern forest and did not return along the original route.
The northern part of Castile was too cold, so they went directly to the south.
According to the route introduced by the elves, this should be the right one.
The huntress and several clan leaders only reached the edge of the forest.
After walking out of the forest, they could only identify the route on their own.
When Wang Chu got tired of flying, he would choose to stop on someone's shoulder.
There is actually a science to which person to rest on.
Wang Chu found that if he kept resting on Guliana's shoulder, Rias would always look here from time to time.
But if he rested on her, it would be even worse.

Wang Chu could feel the magic running around Gulianna's body as her mood changed.
It's really hard on Anwenna.
Every time she stopped on the little guy's shoulder, she was scared to death.
It wasn't until Wang Chu completely walked out of the forest and saw the human border watchtower that he came to Gulianna again.
"Okay, Nana, don't always look nervous.
Relax a little.
Just like when you talk to me, you always look at people with your aura.
Rias and Anwenna probably can't bear the magic around you.
Torrent.”
In fact, it's not surprising that Gulianna would be like that.
As the queen of elves, she had never needed magic to suppress herself before, and her every emotion could be known to others.
Even a single command can make people kneel down.
"Then I'll try to suppress it."
Guliana breathed a sigh of relief as she spoke.
It seemed that not much had changed, but Wang Chu could still feel the momentum on her body.
The surrounding flowers, plants and trees all bent down uniformly when they saw her, as if paying tribute or bowing their heads, just like mimosa.
Guliana can conceal her appearance at will, so she can travel wherever she wants without a hood.
At this time, she hid her long ears, and the radiating energy around her was suppressed, but Wang Chu could still feel her domineering presence.
Oh, forget it.
Probably all the big guys are like this
