Chapter 301 299: Bremen City (Subscription Request)
The city of Bremen, located on the western coastline of the Kingdom of Sardinia, is ranked among the top ten cities even within the kingdom.

Although it is at the tail end of the list, always hovering on the edge of being on the list or off the list, but generally speaking, it also has its strengths.

Its biggest advantage is that it has an excellent deep-water port with almost no reefs, so even the largest ships can dock.

Therefore, large ocean-going ships heading to the New World may choose to load and unload goods here. Although it requires more travel, it is cost-effective for them.

This alone ensures the prosperity of the city of Bremen.

As a cargo distribution center, it not only needs enough sailors, but also sufficient porters.

Where there are jobs, there will be population gathering, so that outside the city, continuous and messy buildings are built up in this way, "you build a brick, I build a tile".

There are at least 100,000 young laborers living here!

In addition, the most commendable thing about Bremen is that they have three large shipyards.

They not only repair and maintain large sea vessels, but also undertake manufacturing business. They have real shipbuilding masters who master the core technology.

As for other small and medium-sized shipyards, some are established today and close down tomorrow, and the exact number is unclear.

By the way, there is also a shipyard in the Siren Port of Xianhua Territory, which is responsible for the maintenance and manufacturing of the Raymond family's ships, and also undertakes the maintenance work of some external ships.

The owner of the shipyard was Count Karl, who was hired personally from the Themetus shipyard in Bremen Port.

It is said that the major shareholder behind the Themetes Shipyard, a Grand Duke of the kingdom, was alarmed and it was only after negotiations between the two sides that the master craftsman and his apprentices were allowed to take away.

As for the price Count Karl paid, along with his death and the burning of Lion Castle, no one knows it.

Of course, if you think these shipyards are conservative, you are wrong.

In fact, in order to solve the problem of corrosion on the bottom of ships, they found a way to cover them with iron sheets and nail them with galvanized iron nails.

Moreover, although the Kingdom of Sardinia is a standard aristocratic system, their desire for magical ironclad ships is extremely strong.

They have sent delegations to negotiate technology transfer with the Habsburg Empire more than once, and it is said that the conditions offered were quite generous.

In addition, they also sent a number of personnel into the empire, attempting to learn the corresponding skills through the magic academy.

Of course, all of the above are the good sides of Bremen and are worth being proud of.

And now, what Luo Yi saw was its most unbearable side.

The route that Ang took them through was not through the traditional city gate, but along the street into the slums outside the city.

Then, two gangs, with no less than thirty or forty people armed with swords, fought in the street to seize territory, right in front of Luo Yi.

Neither side is strong. At least in Luo Yi's opinion, the leader has only the strength of the peak first level.

Among the others, there are only a few who have entered the first level, and most of them are ordinary people who have not even received much training.

But they fought so fiercely that their swords were all wrapped with cloth to prevent them from slipping out of their hands.

The weapons were aimed at the enemy's vital points, and there was an endless stream of methods such as beheading and stabbing the heart, killing with broken bricks flying and blood splattered everywhere.

Some of the doors around were closed and I didn't dare to look out.

However, there were also some people who were skilled and bold, standing there with their weapons in hand and commenting as if they were watching a big show.

Of course Luo Yi and the other two didn't care, but they didn't want to cause trouble. Ang looked around and led Luo Yi away from this place.

They walked through the alley next to them, made a semicircle, and passed through.

And at the last moment, Luo Yi finally looked back.

He had excellent vision and sharp eyes. He looked through the dark night and saw the battlefield where the outcome had just been decided.

The gang leader on one side won the battle and cut off the enemy's head with his sword. He held it high up as if to show off his strength.

What impressed Luo Yi the most was the expression on his face, which was a mixture of madness, excitement and ferocity.

This scene is Roy’s first impression of the city of Bremen!

He thought this was an isolated case.

But in fact, while walking along the way in the slums, he encountered three gang fights and two chases and fights!

When they reached the end of the road, they naturally saw the city wall, which had several small doors.

It was still occupied by a gang, some were leaving the city, some were entering the city, some were carrying goods, and some were using the carriage aisle...

Of course, you have to pay to enter and exit. It’s not too expensive, but the flow of people is quite large.

Luo Yi and his companions entered the city of Bremen through this small gate. When they arrived here, the streets were much cleaner and there were more lights around.

Although it was night, there was no curfew. There were many pedestrians coming and going, and there were bars, dance floors, dance halls, theaters, etc. open for business...

From time to time, melodious music could be heard, floating in the air.

When we got here, we didn't see any fighting in the street. However, Roy's Eagle Eyes were very advanced, and his Leman's Ears could hear sounds from far away.

In his eyes and ears, there are thieves groping and stealing; there are assassins killing and robbing; there is blood spurting and life passing away; there are people fighting to the death and struggling against each other.

On the roof, there were night walkers walking; at the corner of the street, there were men in black hiding their figures in the shadows, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Luo Yi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. The night in Bremen was so lively!

However, after crossing the border near the city wall and walking a few streets, public security finally improved.

Please note that what Luo Yi called "good" actually meant that there were more city guards patrolling the streets, making those night walkers a little more fearful.

But in fact, those who dare to walk here are much stronger.

The place where Ang stayed was a hotel that looked very high-end, and its name was "Bremen Grand Hotel".

With only two or three stories high surrounding it, it is six stories high, making it stand out from the crowd and quite conspicuous.

The first floor is the dining area, which is decorated luxuriously and grandly, like a palace.

Even the maids who served were dressed in uniform, showing off their tall figures and elegant manners.

There is also a special band that plays soothing songs, which makes people relax unconsciously.

Those who can eat here are all wealthy businessmen and aristocrats, all of them wearing gold and silver and living a luxurious life.

On the second floor, there is a large bar. Behind the circular bar, there are drinks from all over the world.

Under the specially designed lighting, each bottle looks gorgeous and unaffordable.

This place is not just a place for drinking, but also a casino. There are people playing cards, throwing dice, playing poker, gambling...

There was even an octagonal boxing ring in the center, which used magic to hold one or two gladiator fights from time to time, and accept bets and gambling.

This is always the time when the bar is the busiest and most profitable.

However, when Roy passed by here, he did not see any gladiators, but instead saw a troubadour playing a piccolo.

The melodious flute sound echoed, and it actually had a magical reaction, which made people more addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves!

At this moment, Luo Yi couldn't help but grin. If he was not mistaken, it should be a hell bard.

However, at this moment, he had no intention to kill!
Further up is the living area. Not to mention the design of the room, even the corridor floor is covered with expensive wool carpets.

Although there was only one layer between them, the noise from below was not transmitted to the upper part at all. It was obviously due to the use of magic.

Of course, the most commendable thing about this hotel is its safety!

Because the whole building can actually be regarded as a simplified version of the wizard's tower. It does not have so many complex structures, but it also has an elemental pool for energy supply.

Then, all the magical energy was gathered on the reinforcement of the house, leaving almost no blind spots.

I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort to destroy even a fourth-level natural disaster.

And even though there is no one in charge, this inn that is similar to a wizard's tower must have no shortage of owners, just like the magic warship.

Luo Yi was also somewhat surprised. He really didn't expect that someone could be so arrogant.

Only the room that Ange booked was located on the fifth floor near the corner.

Through the window, you can see half of the city of Bremen. The view is excellent.

Of course, the bigger reason why Ang chose this place was because of the view to the northwest from here.

There is a luxurious manor there, which belongs to the Iser family. It is planted with many flowers and plants and is connected by a running water.

Hence, it got the name "Flowing Water Garden".

Looking further west is the Vermont Cathedral, where the fourth-level natural disaster, Ignaz Iser, studied, practiced, and grew up.

Finally, he made a lifelong vow to the Sun God, thereby awakening his fighting spirit and becoming a fourth-level earth-type oath knight!

Ignaz Isel's whereabouts are secretive, and it would be even more difficult for a fourth-level strongman to spy on his whereabouts if he doesn't want to be discovered.

However, these two places are where he appears most frequently.

The door was closed tightly, and Ange activated the magic blockade of the room. In theory, no more words could be heard out.

However, Ange still took out a silent scroll, unfolded it, activated the magic power, and enveloped the room.

At this point, Ange spoke anxiously: "My Lord Count, you should have seen the situation. I always feel that something big is going to happen in Bremen!"

Luo Yi became more alert and asked, "What exactly do you mean?"
