Chapter 668: This person is transferring property

Spring of 1347 has begun…

Although Westwind Holy City is moving towards industrialization from agriculture, planting is still one of the most important tasks when spring arrives, because in this era, food still needs to be prepared by oneself. Other cities’ backward productivity is not enough to support the large-scale requirements of Westwind Holy City.

Therefore, the Westwind Holy City must have its own agriculture, and the scale of this agriculture cannot be too small, otherwise it cannot support the population that has already exceeded 30,000.

Fortunately, the agricultural power of the Westwind Holy City is far above that of other cities.

In early spring, a strange machine was built by dwarf craftsmen under the guidance of Robb, which uses a steam engine as its power and is equipped with a strange large wheel. It drove into the fields and quickly turned over a piece of land with a loud rumble, many times faster than manual plowing.

This magical farm machine was snatched up by the nobles who run agricultural plantations in the city and was quickly put into use in the spring planting season, leading to a rapid development of agriculture in Westwind Holy City.

By the time of the summer harvest, the dwarf craftsmen had produced another strange farm machine, which could automatically harvest all the crops by running a lap in the field.

The nobles were once again amazed and quickly purchased this harvesting machine in large quantities.

These were originally two small things, but they quickly led to a series of chain reactions.

With the emergence of these new machines, the nobles naturally reduced the number of farmers they employed on their farms, causing a large number of farmers to lose their jobs and take to the streets, causing some unrest in Westwind City.

Fortunately, Westwind Holy City is a city that is flourishing and developing upward, and these farmers, under Eddie’s organization, were able to find jobs in emerging factories after a brief period of unemployment and unrest.

The storm was finally quelled!

Eddie was commended by Robb and became the first “bishop” under the new Church of Light.

Eddie worked hard and developed the New Church of Light even more vigorously, igniting a vibrant movement for the development of the New Church of Light throughout the city. Everywhere in the city, people could hear someone reading the New Bible of Light, and the atmosphere in the Holy City became even more intense.

Then, in the blink of an eye, autumn arrived!

The entire Black Pine Mountains were covered in a golden coat, and while the autumn breeze was refreshing, something was quietly happening.

In the evening, just after Robb had finished his lunch and took out a long fishing rod to fish, he saw Elsie running towards him at lightning speed. When he reached him, he immediately bowed deeply and whispered, “Godfather, I have something to report to you.”

“Oh?” Robb asked, looking serious. “What happened?”

Elsie whispered, “I just passed by the Motra’s house and found that this guy was loading the gold and silver jewelry he earned by selling oil into a big car and transporting it outside the city, one car after another.”

“Oh?” Robb raised his eyebrows, “Transferring assets, what’s the matter? Isn’t Westwind Town good enough? Does he want to run away and find a better place? It used to be nobles from other places transferring assets here.”

“He’s not planning to go back to the desert kingdom, is he?” Elsie whispered, “If he takes so much money earned here back to the desert kingdom, it’s tantamount to being a traitor. Godfather, you give the order, and I’ll go and beat him up.”

“No, we can’t do that,” Robb shook his head seriously. “Motra is an exiled noble from the desert kingdom. In theory, besides Westwind City, he has nowhere to go. This is basically his second home, and if someone like him wants to leave Westwind City, then there must be something wrong with us. What we need to do is not to beat him up but to find the root of the problem and solve it.”

Just as Robb finished speaking, he suddenly saw a convoy passing by the chapel gate. The convoy had a flag with the emblem of the Chengguang family on it. The convoy was quite large, with more than thirty vehicles, each loaded with goods.

The person escorting the convoy was none other than Kante, the future inheritor of the Chengguang family, who had been studying “physical magic” at the magic academy. Unexpectedly, he had come to Westwind City and was personally escorting the convoy on a tall horse. This was quite surprising, and Robb couldn’t help but greet him, “Hey, Kante, what kind of goods are you transporting?”

Upon hearing Godfather’s question, Kante quickly dismounted and stood on the side of the road. He didn’t know that Godfather was Robb Smith, his brother who he had played and joked with. So he put on a very respectful attitude, “Godfather, I’m not escorting goods, I’m transporting some valuables to the countryside.”

“Oh?”

Both Robb and Elsie were stunned.

“Why are you taking valuables to the countryside?” Robb asked.

Kante’s face flashed a touch of embarrassment, “Of course, to avoid…to avoid some trouble.”

Robb hadn’t even had a chance to speak. Elsie jumped up and exclaimed, “What trouble? Which force is going to attack our Westwind Holy City again? Even if there is a strong enemy attacking, we can accept Motra’s escape, but your Chengguang family won’t stay here to fight against the enemy and instead choose to run away? Do you believe I will chop you dead, you damn traitor? And besides, Godfather is here. You don’t need to avoid any trouble. Call your uncle Nuolun, I want to hear what he has to say.”

Kante looked embarrassed, “It’s not that we don’t trust Godfather, and it’s not that we’re not willing to work together to fight the enemy. My uncle said that the Chengguang Family cannot leave. We will definitely stay here to fight the enemy together. It’s just that these treasures… may attract enemies to Westwind City. So we’re just taking the treasures away, and then our people will return to Westwind City.”

Hearing this, Robb was interested, “Oh, what are you trying to avoid?”

Kante said, “Huh? Haven’t you noticed the time? It’s autumn of 1347. In a few months, it will be 1348!”

Robb still didn’t understand, “So what about 1348?”

However, although he didn’t understand, Elsie next to him suddenly realized, “1348 divided by 4 can be evenly divided, ah, the year of the Black Dragon’s Flight is coming again.”

Since the founding of the Fengmo Continent, every four years, the black dragon Avicus would wake up from his lair in the Jinghong Mountains and attack a human city. That year was called the Year of the Black Dragon’s Flight.

Obviously, in a few months, the Year of the Black Dragon’s Flight will be upon them!
