Northern Territory, Kraken Point Peninsula, Flint’s Finger, Bright Flame Bay

One month later, three longships with the crests of the Lords of the Iron Islands hanging on them were slowly sailing along the Bay of Bright Flames, and their target was Ed's Crystal Trace. In addition to hanging their respective emblems, these longships

In addition to the family's coat of arms, a rainbow flag symbolizing peace is also hung.

This slender seven-color rainbow pennant is a symbol of negotiation between the two forces in the Seven Kingdoms. This method was passed from the south and originated from the Seven Gods Faith. Over time, even the Iron Islands and the North

The environment also began to gradually accept this special symbol of peace talks.

These three longships are hung with the coats of arms of their various families, and these three families are the Blacktails family of Kuroshio Island, the Farwin family of Sealskin Point, and the Harlaw family of Harlaw Island.

, if Ed were here, he would be very surprised why there is a longship of the Harlow family here.

The Harlaw family of Harlaw Island is one of the most powerful noble families in the Iron Islands. At the same time, Harlaw Island is also the most populous and richest island in the entire Iron Islands. In this situation, even with this longship

The Farwin family and the Blacktail family who were traveling with them didn't quite understand the Harrol family's plans, because the heraldic flag hanging on this longship was the black-backed silver sickle coat of arms of the Harrol family.

Bruce Blacktys is the envoy of Kuroshio Island this time. He is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He has dark skin and a strong build. He is an iron merchant who works hard at sea all year round. Although many iron merchants admire

"Pay iron money" to the people of the green land.

However, there are many enlightened lords of the Iron Islands who understand that the ancient road based on "paying iron money" has long been unworkable, and plundering has no effect except that it will bring revenge again and again.

With the development of the times, the Ironborn will only fight less and less, and in the end they will be completely wiped out by a more powerful Western Guardian or King.

"I hope that guy Mast won't lie to me. If the lord of the Flint family really has that magical machine, then our people will be less tired. Although the ore on Kuroshio Island is not as good as that of the big

Wake Island, but we are the island closest to the Flint family. I hope I can get more."

"Hahaha, Bruce, why are you thinking so much? If you don't succeed, just come here for fun. But, to be honest, this ghost place in the north is really terrible compared to the south. I heard that even here

There’s no better ale, but as long as the ladies in the north don’t disappoint!”

Bruce Blacktys turned his head and looked around, and indeed found that his clan relative Theon Blacktys had walked up to him at some point. After hearing the other party's words, Bruce rolled his eyes, obviously concerned about this clan.

My words are very speechless.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the scorching sunlight, after losing the cover of a dark cloud, once again shone on the faces of the two of them. Just when the two were about to enter the cabin to hide, the lookout's

The exclamations reached their ears.

"What do you think that is?"

After hearing the lookout's shout, everyone also turned their attention to his location, and soon, what he was pointing to appeared in everyone's eyes at the same time.

It was a huge three-masted sailing ship. Of course, if it was just an ordinary three-masted sailing ship, it would not have surprised everyone. What really surprised everyone was the flat-bottomed boats that followed the three-masted sailing ship.

Flat-bottomed boats are different from ordinary flat-bottomed boats. They seem to be made of stone and dragon crystal, and their shape is similar to that of a carriage. They look like large flat boxes.

The black dragon crystal shines with strange light under the sunlight. The gray-black stone on the base seems to be darker than the dragon crystal when soaked in sea water. These flat-bottomed boats also use sails, but these flat-bottomed boats use sails.

Canvas seems to be some kind of special reflective fabric.

This kind of reflective canvas is actually a special cloth made from the remnants of ice silk, the slime of dragon crystal lemures and weirwood leaves. It is a subsidiary product of Ed's research on paper. As long as the dragon crystal lemure is mixed with

When the ratio of demonic mucus is increased, this special fiber product will appear. It is airtight, lightweight, and somewhat similar to the plastic on Blue Star.

Because it was very troublesome to make and could not be mass-produced, it was used by Ed to make canvas. If it were in the past, it would have been difficult to find enough fabric in the territory of the Flint family to make canvas for five large ships.

, it’s completely unimaginable, but now, all this has changed because of Ed’s arrival.

In the open-air cabins of these flat-bottomed boats, there are a large amount of minerals and dragon crystals. Under the observation of the mil tube, Bruce Blacktys can clearly observe the minerals inside and estimate the contents of these flat-bottomed boats.

Loading capacity.

It is shocking enough that such a ship can be built, but the other party is able to use it as a transport ship. This is completely impossible in the eyes of Bruce Blacktail.

"This...this...is this really a ship? I, Theon, have never seen this kind of ship in my whole life. How on earth was this made? Is it because I haven't left Kuroshio Island for too long, or is it because

I have very little knowledge. Can stone and glass really be used to build ships?"

Theon Blackteeth looked at this strange scene and murmured to himself that he was about the same age as Bruce Blackteeth and was a distant relative of the Blackteeth family on Kuroshio Island. This time they were under the leadership of the patriarch Baelor.

Assigned by Blacktys, he came to the north to seek peace and trade.

Baelor Blacktail's father was killed during the "Iron Islands Rebellion" more than 10 years ago, and he was sent to the Old Town in the River Bend as an apprentice. It was also there that he saw a lot of things and understood

, there is no way out of the ancient iron path, and he also became a devout believer in the Seven Gods because of his childhood experience.

After hearing Mast's description of Ed, the young Lord of Kuroshio Island, Baelor Blacktys, also understood that the Flint family was different, and he also saw the value of "Magic No. 1", so

He then sent his clan members Bruce Blacktys and Theon Blacktys as envoys.

The sailors on the other two longships seemed to have discovered the situation here. After a while, Bruce Blacktys discovered that Yoren Harlow, the "Silver Axe" of the Harlow family, had also appeared.

On the deck, he is a remote branch of the Harlaw family, an iron-type businessman who makes a living near the Ten Towers City, but I don't know whether he was assigned by their family master this time, or whether he made his own decision.

The other guy is Aaron Farwin, a branch of the Farwin family from Sealskin Point, known as the "Sea Lion". These guys probably came here after hearing Mast's words. It's possible that these people

They will become Bruce's competitors. After all, they seem to want to help their family win that magical machine and trade opportunity.

After seeing this magical scene, these three longships with rainbow flags just followed Ed's transport ships. During this period, a total of four rowing warships came over to inquire.

Their purpose and intention, after learning that Bruce and the others were envoys from the Iron Islands, these ships allowed them to pass normally.

Along the way, Bruce felt a little uneasy, as if there was some terrible monster staring at him. After he asked around, some sailors also reported this problem to him, and they all thought

There seemed to be something staring at them under the sea level.

However, when they patrolled the sea, they did not find any abnormalities. In fact, their feeling was not wrong. There were indeed things following them under the sea. Those were the latest fish-men created by Ed.

A variant of the dragon crystal lemure transformed by Germany. Of course, there is also a hybrid species transformed from humans.

Ed named them Dragon Crystal Murloc and Dragon Crystal Naga, because they both have the twisted soul in the Ice Dragon Crystal. Since they were experimental subjects, Ed only made 5 experiments each.

body, and use them to carry out security work on transport ships.

And soon, this mighty fleet entered the dock of Crystal Trace. The originally dilapidated Flint family dock has turned into a huge port. Now, five ports have been established here.

The huge ship docking areas are the commercial area, the mineral area, the outer ship area, the passenger area and the backup area.

Since Bruce Blacktys and the others were foreign ships, their longship went directly to the outer ship area under the leadership of the pilot boat. After some review, Bruce Blacktys and the others finally entered as they wished.

The pier market.

After the officials responsible for guiding learned their purpose and intention, they took them directly to the reception center. At this time, the Crystal Trace had completely changed its appearance, with neat and clean streets and uniformly planned buildings.

, completely changed everyone’s impression of the Northern Territory in the Iron Islands. If these four people in charge hadn’t clearly known that they were in the Flint Finger, I’m afraid they would all have thought that they had arrived at White Harbor in the Northern Territory.

"What is that?"

Just as everyone was walking on the road, "Silver Axe" Yoren Harlow suddenly pointed at the strange black pillar that was almost 3 meters high on the roadside. They didn't find it until Bruce Blacktys and the others walked in.

, it turned out to be a pillar made entirely of dragon crystal, and its poppy-like structure amazed everyone.

"That's our street light, which is used for lighting at night. When there is no bright moonlight, it can guide people back to their houses, just like a lighthouse."

"Street light!"

When everyone in the Iron Islands Envoy heard this coined word from the official's mouth, they all subconsciously repeated it. They knew what a "lamp" was, but they didn't know what a street lamp was. Seven

The common people in the great kingdom generally use fish oil for lighting, while noble families use whale oil for lighting.

This kind of extravagant behavior is completely unimaginable to everyone in the Iron Islands Envoy. Moreover, the members of the Envoy also discovered that many civilians here wear clothes made of some kind of black silk.

The clothes shine with a strange light under the sunlight.

At the beginning, they were just a little strange, but as more and more people appeared in front of them, all wearing such gorgeous clothes, it made everyone on the Iron Islands look like the ugly duckling among the swans.

Same.

The members of the envoy group could not see any trace of soil on the streets here. Except for some construction sites, there was almost no trace of excess soil. Moreover, the members of the envoy group also discovered that some of the buildings here

It was actually built with dragon crystal. At first, they thought these were some kind of strange decorations. It wasn't until they saw more and more buildings that they realized that many of the buildings here were actually made of dragon crystal.

Built with dragon crystal.

However, they still discovered a problem, that is, some of the dragon crystal buildings they saw only had 2 floors, and those high-rise buildings were built using some kind of strange stones. These black-gray stones seemed to be specially carved.

It comes out the same, with no gaps at all.

Only then did they understand the true meaning of the name "Crystal Scar". What they saw and heard along the way completely overturned the three views of the Iron Islands Envoys, especially when they saw the equipment of the City Guard soldiers.

At this time, Bruce felt as if he was dreaming.

Uniform half-armor, helmet, wrist guards, knee pads, crotch protectors, long sword, hand crossbow and small buckler. Those who didn't know thought they had met a guard team protecting the family. Each of these warriors was tall.

Martha's existence looks very burly, and any one he picks out seems to be a being that can compete with the coach of their Blacktail family castle.

What they saw and heard along the way made everyone in the Iron Islands Envoy feel like they were on Pike Island. In other words, the Crystal Trace of the Flint family was cleaner than Pike City in the Iron Islands. Although the Crystal Trace

It's not as big as Park City, but Bruce saw something in the faces of these people that Park City didn't have, and that was hope.

Although the Ironborn use iron will to describe their character and work style, all of this is entirely caused by the environment in which they live. The Iron Islands are a place with very few resources, except for iron ore.

In addition to fishery and fishery resources, there is even less arable land. It is precisely because of this barren environment that the Iron Breeds' predatory culture has been created.

But the truly enlightened lords understood that such a life of plunder would not have any good results at all. It would have no effect except deepening the hatred between the Iron Islands and the Green Land. After every large-scale plunder in history,

, what ushered in was the green land, very terrible revenge.

"I hope today's meeting can usher in a new change in our family. The ironborn really need to change."
