Half-elf Notebook

On the sixteenth day of the journey, the caravan passed through continuous villages and white wheat fields covered with snow, and finally arrived in front of a majestic city.

The yellow and white city wall stands proudly, with many protruding bastions on the outer edge of the wall. The stone used is obviously different from that of the Lei Shi city wall.

This is the largest city in the province of Pamelin, and a corner of the overall picture of the large city of Pamelin.

Through the dusty glass from the long journey, Ina stared at the road that was more than ten meters wide even outside the city.

Along the way, there was an endless stream of caravans, farmers, herdsmen, travelers and wandering merchants passing by the caravan.

This made her sigh:

"This is the prosperity of large cities..."

As far as the eye can see, there are rows of buildings. These buildings are built by combining wood and rock, which is no different from the Leishi. There are even towering bell towers and small churches mixed in.

And this is only the towns outside the city and dependent on the city.

"Of course, this is the provincial city of Pamelin Province, Pamelin, known as the City of Steel."

"Every year, more than 30% of the kingdom's steel and iron ingots, 40% of its artillery, and a large amount of armor, metal products, and raw materials for gun barrels and pipes come from here. It is also a concentration of ore production in the province and surrounding areas."

Aixia made full use of his knowledge as a businessman and gave a detailed explanation of the scene in front of him at the right time.

"Well, at the same time, the province and city names of Pamelin come from the four nobles who followed King Fulante I when the kingdom was founded. They were one of the 15th ducal families since the founding of the kingdom, and the name of the Duke of Pamelin... Pamelin Province is still the original territory of the kingdom, and it is also the original territory of the old duchy."

Ina smiled slightly and finished explaining the city's history to the blonde girl.

Aixia was not surprised by Ina's remarks and her knowledge in this area.

During the half-month journey together, the two had to stay in the carriage most of the time.

Although during this period, they spent more time exchanging magical knowledge, chatting about some insignificant things, and playing card games.

But it does not prevent both sides from deepening their understanding of each other.

Ina knew that this approachable young lady also had a side that loved to show off.

But it's not about one's identity and the money one has - it's about knowledge and what one has fought for.

At this moment, Berleman's caravan began to enter the city.

The inspecting soldier simply glanced at the certification documents and list of goods provided by the caravan leader, stamped them, and waved back, signaling his colleagues to let them pass.

With such a huge amount of circulation, a careful check is obviously unrealistic.

There are four city gates, two entrances and two exits, each majestic, with a wide passage enough to allow two carriages to pass side by side.

Amid the clicking sounds of wheels and bearings, the carriage rolled over the existing ruts in the mud, leaving new wheel marks, and slowly approached the city wall.

The mottled yellow and white wall gradually enlarged from far to near, and finally occupied almost half of the sky in Ina's view from the car window.

However, suddenly, a burst of horse neighing and a commotion came from the city gate corridor on the side.

"Don't let her run away, go and catch her back!"

This was followed by a scream of frustration.

Ina glanced sideways and saw a weak and thin figure stumbling out.

Her long blond hair was draped to her waist, her wrists and neck were shackled with rusty shackles, and she was wearing only a linen robe that she didn't know if it could be considered clothing. Her exposed skin turned pale and red due to the cold.

Before she ran far, two sturdy men who followed her roughly grabbed the girl's arms and almost lifted her up.

"No, no, no."

The girl struggled and screamed at the top of her lungs.

However, what she got in response was a slap bigger than her face.

Everyone around was shocked, but no one stepped forward to stop it or argue for the girl.

Like this is the normal thing to do...

Ina moved closer to the window, staring intently at what was happening.

Watching the girl being dragged back into the corridor, her aura suddenly changed, becoming sharp and dangerous, as if she was about to rush off the carriage in the next second.

“Ina…”

Along with a concerned call, the half-elf girl's wrist was held gently and warmly, which woke her up suddenly and made her breath disappear.

She turned her head and saw Aishia holding her hand with a frown on her face.

Obviously she also saw what happened just now.

But, he just shook his head at Ina.

"Feel sorry…"

After a long silence, Ina moved back to her original position gloomily. Even without Aixia's hint, she knew that she was acting on impulse.

Her rushing down did not change her identity as a girl.

Ina could buy her.

But there must be more slaves in that caravan. What should she do? Buy them all? And how should she place them afterwards?

she does not know…

As the carriage passed through the heavy metal gate, the stone dome above blocked out the sunlight. In the dim carriage, Ina remained silent for a long time.
