The fog moon is coming.

Winter is coming.

The winter in Ansu always comes very early. Often before the frost moon ends, many areas have entered a bleak and empty season. The crops in the fields have been harvested, and the grain and firewood for the winter are stored in every household early. Then, from cities to villages, from forts to houses, it is difficult to see crowds of people between the streets and alleys. People are like animals that spend the winter in the wilderness, and will return to their homes that shelter from the wind and rain before the cold completely arrives, and quietly wait for the arrival of spring.

But Cecil has not been like this for two years. For Cecil people, winter is still a day to go out to work as usual.

A drizzle last night just passed. This is probably the last rain this year. The drizzle wets the cement and stone pavement on the streets of the city and nourishes the cold-resistant flowers, plants and trees on the street corners of the roadside. When the sun rises, the water vapor rises slightly. With the slightly higher ground temperature in the city, these water vapor forms fog and covers every place where people gather. This thin fog is different from the heavy winter fog in Tifeng that will block the sight, but it has a comfortable and lazy feeling, like waking up in a hazy and beautiful dream.

The brilliance of the huge sun shines on such a city of Cecil.

On this cold morning in early winter, people had a full meal and wore warm clothes, and walked out of their homes to prepare for work. As more and more people were on the streets and alleys, the whole city gradually woke up.

The thin fog in the morning was quickly dispelled by the heat of the sun, and the city lifted off the hazy veil, and everything became clear and bright.

A carriage with a less common shape in the local area drove into the gate of Cecil's commercial district. The sound of horse hooves scattered across the streets, and the sun shone on the tent of the carriage, making the copper castings washed by rain shine.

The cover on the side of the carriage was opened by someone, and a pair of bright eyes looked out from the inside. After looking at it for a few minutes, those eyes were retracted.

"Father, the streets of Cecil are so wide!" In the carriage, a young man with short hair looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the back of the carriage, "And their houses... are very tall!"

"There weren't so many houses here last time..." The middle-aged man from Carroll's back could not hide his surprise, but in front of his eldest son, he tried hard to maintain his appearance of calmness and indifference. "Don't act like a countryman Parr who has never entered the city. We are representing the Carroll Merchant Association to meet the rulers of the southern border."

"Yes, father."

The young man called Parr hurriedly lowered his head and listened carefully to his father's teachings. His father Cod was the most successful businessman in the Carroll region. This businessman has always been famous for his precise judgment and execution. It was precisely because he was the first to respond to the call of the Government Affairs Department and sign the agreement on the Merchant Alliance that the family could have further development. Now he even has the opportunity to represent the Carroll Chamber of Commerce to meet the rulers of the Southern Frontier. Faced with such a successful person who proved his ability with practical actions, the young Parr was respected from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing the eldest son's attitude, the great businessman Kod nodded with satisfaction, and then he slowed down his tone: "However, without affecting others' impressions, you should also pay attention to carefully and carefully observing the surroundings. Whether it is business opportunities or connections, they are often hidden in the details of the environment at first. Just as this city develops so fast and the population increases so quickly, this means that its business opportunities are simply endless..."

Cod said, looking at the streets of Cecil through the open cover on the side of the car: "...This is a city of golden …"

Almost as Cod finished his speech, the large mechanical bell in the center of the city made a loud sound at 8 o'clock.

Magic net terminals placed in various squares and large street intersections were started at the same time.

Magic power was injected into the base, shaking and resonating between the complex magic patterns and runes, and then it was injected into the projection crystal. Shaking light and shadow appeared in the air on the streets and alleys, and the light and shadow quickly condensed into clear holographic projections. The smiling Gipley stood in the projection and greeted everyone: "Good morning, Cecil citizens, it is eight o'clock in the time of Cecil, and the 'witch' Gipley's greetings to you.

"Today, our wise and respectable bachelor of machinery, magic technicians, rune masters will bring us a brand new magic machinery. The exhibition location is located in the Pioneer Square in the center of Cecil, and the magic network terminals will also bring you live broadcasts..."

In the carriage, Cod, who was seeing this scene, widened his eyes and exclaimed in a low voice: "What is this?!"

The young man Parr was also startled. He had completely opened the cover and stretched his neck to look outside. After a long time, he remembered to answer: "Father, I have heard that this is in Kant! This is called Magic Net Terminal!"

"I have also heard of...those traders from the south have described it to me..." Cod murmured to himself, "So it's this kind of thing..."

"Father?"

"We'll go to the Trail Blazers Square early."

There have been many people gathering in the Central Square.

People living around the square noticed the movement here just after dawn: soldiers were alert around the square, and technicians in white and blue clothes also gathered, and a street around was emptied in advance, saying that they were going to transport large machinery. A mature and experienced Cecil citizen was familiar with all this.

This means that the great lords and wise scholars have a new creation to show everyone.

The civilians elsewhere may not care what their lords are doing, but the Cecils are different. They know that the things that the lords show in this square are basically closely related to everyone. They are usually new magic machines, sometimes things like books, magazines, and newspapers. No matter which one, they will soon become a part of everyone's daily life and will most likely bring great benefits to life.

People gathered, paid attention, and discussed what was going to be exhibited today, but until the time for the "Witch" was approaching, people did not see anything on the platform in the center of the square.

The crowd whispered, and just as the discussion was getting louder, a sharp and loud voice from outside the square suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation.

The sound seemed to be from some kind of copper tube, and the noise was very loud. Almost all the people gathered in the square were startled. When they saw clearly the big guy who was passing the edge of the square and heading towards the center of the square along the road cleared by the soldiers, they were startled a second time.

What is that thing

It is a behemoth made of steel, almost a circle larger than a carriage. The wheels around it seem to indicate that it was a car, but there was no livestock leading the car in front of the car: this behemoth actually drove it on its own!

Even the knowledgeable Cecil citizens couldn't help but exclaim, but almost no one panicked. They just watched the strange car made of steel slowly drive to the center of the square with a little nervousness, watching it stop steadily among soldiers and technicians, and they looked at the car's shell curiously, the square front of the car, the open car in the back half, the magic crystal lamps in front of the car, and its tall and large wheels. Considering the actual construction situation in the southern border, in order for the car to adapt to the harsh road conditions, its wheel diameter, chassis height, and internal shock absorption and balance structure were adjusted again when it was finally finalized and left the factory, which made its wheel part look more powerful and impressive.

The car stopped for a while, and then the shell in the middle of the front suddenly opened. There was a door there, and a spirited girl jumped out of it.

People immediately applauded, some people smiled and took off their hats to pay tribute, some people bent down to greet, and an old woman standing in the square smiled happily: "Look, it's indeed our Miss Rebecca."

The person next to him also laughed: "This kind of thing must have her share."

"Hello everyone! This thing is called a magic car, also called a magic power car," Rebecca happily greeted the familiar or unfamiliar faces in the square. "As the first generation, its model is 'Magic Power 475'..."

Magic Power Type 475.

This is to commemorate the first 475 meters of magic car in history that successfully drove after getting off the assembly platform.

At that time, a mechanical counting disc installed in the wheels for testing was accurately recorded the length of the distance.

People applauded again Although many people have not yet figured out what this thing called the magic car is, this does not prevent them from applauding. On the one hand, it is because the lively and enthusiastic Rebecca has always been popular with everyone, and on the other hand, it is because...

This thing called the Magic Car looks really incredible.

In a corner of the square, a father and son were standing in amazement.

"Don't act like a countryman who has never entered the city." The great businessman Cod suddenly remembered what he had said to his son just now.

However...what can he do?

Located in the northern border of the Principal of Cecil, next to the Rock Fortress, Carol City... It is indeed the countryside at this moment.

Although only two years ago, it was regarded as the place with the most opportunity and closest to the "kingdom trend center" in the southern region because of its proximity to the plain of the Holy Spirit...

"Father," the young Pal finally woke up from his stunned state, swallowing, "Is that car driven by a magical mechanism? Is that a puppet?"

"It is indeed powered by a magic machine, but it is definitely not a magic puppet. Do you see the control levers when you look at the scene inside the car door? It is a magic machine, just like the mining machines we have seen before."

"Mining machine..." Parr said thoughtfully, "You mean it is also for ordinary people?"

"Yes, there is no doubt that according to my analysis, our lords have always been committed to creating such magical creatures that can be used by ordinary people," Cod said, while pricking his ears and listening carefully to Rebecca in the square to introduce the concept of "magic car" to people. He whispered to himself, "Sure enough... it is also driven by a magic engine... Then its strength must be much greater than that of a cow and horse, and it does not have to eat grass..."

"Father?" Parr looked at his father curiously, "What did you say?"

"Pal, my son, take a good look at this city and see how many opportunities you can find." The eyes of the big merchant Cod were filled with fire. This big merchant, who was already middle-aged and was almost able to retire in the eyes of others, became full of fighting spirit. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his first time when he was alone, and when he left his hometown for the first time and went to another place to seek business. He remembered a sentence he accidentally heard after seeing so many people and so many goods when he saw the streets of the city for the first time.
