The processing and manufacturing industry in Stormland has developed rapidly in recent years, and three fixed trade routes have gradually developed.
The first one is from Old Town in the Reach to Highgarden, then along the river to Cider Hall, Long Table Keep, Greenvale City, Felwood Castle in the Stormlands, Bronzegate City, Harvest Hall, Hay Hall, and finally to Windhall.
Castle.
The second one is Dorne's sea transportation, Yronwood City, Graycloth Castle, Thor City, Sunspear City, to Greenstone Castle, Rainhouse City to Storm's End Castle.
The third one is the original Rose Avenue, but the land transport volume is not as good as water transport, so it mainly transports people, gold, silver and expensive or heavy items. It is safer to bring a knight in plate armor than water transport.
Because there are a large amount of agricultural raw materials, minerals and finished goods transported in the three places, the surrounding towns have become relatively wealthy places. Even if there are no special products in the noble territories along the way, they have made a lot of money by stopping the caravans, and they have also produced many wealthy people from the craftsman class.
Produced Knight.
Due to the rise of industry, commerce and agriculture in the southern part of the continent, the central and northern parts of the continent were also affected. They became much more developed than the original world. At least the grain production increased every year, and the common people could have enough to eat and still have surplus.
Naturally, the background and education of these new wealthy classes are not as good as those of the old aristocrats, which raises some questions.

Near New Barrel City in the Reach, on a beach of the Mander River, a group of heavily armed knights formed a circle with their own flags, and there were soldiers cleaning up dead enemies on the road nearby.
Among the flags are the gold rose flag on a green background of the Tyrell family in Highgarden, the red apple flag on a gold background of the Fossoway family in the Cider Hall, and the green apple flag on a gold background of the Fossoway family in New Barrel City.
On the river beach, a strong man named Soros and a little girl about 10 years old were pressing a gorgeously dressed man on the stone. The little girl had gray eyes and black hair and carried two long swords on her back.
"In the name of Robert I of House Baratheon, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and protector of all the Seven Kingdoms, I, Witte of House Baratheon, Lord Chief of the Kingdom,
The mage, Sir Antler Castle, sentences you to death for fraud."
After Werther finished speaking, he raised the ice crystal sword and chopped off the head with one blow.
"Your Excellency, Chief Archmage, which number is this?" A middle-aged woman walked over.
"Ellery, this is the third execution that Werther has executed this year. I also helped kill a few followers." The little girl behind Werther replied.
Witte performed a sword dance with his ice crystal sword, and thrust the sword into the mud of the river beach. White ice crystals quickly began to form around the mud.
At this time, Garlan Tyrell and the guards of Highgarden escorted another man over. The guards kicked away the headless body and pressed the man onto the stone. The man shouted:
"Lord Garland, Lord Chief Mage, I am wronged! All my money was defrauded by this bastard, and even my wife was slept with by him! I am wronged, Sir!"
"But then you helped him swindle money and help him escape!" Garland Tyrell didn't say much to him, and sentenced the wealthy knight to death in the name of his father, Lord Mace of Highgarden.
With one strike of the sword, the head fell to the ground.
"Damn it, there are more and more of these liars." Witte cursed.
Since Witte's magical deeds in the Iron Islands spread three years ago and he was named the chief wizard of the kingdom, he spent the first year writing magic textbooks and building schools, and also brought Ellery Hightower and Thoros with him.
Instructing magic, the two of them are generally too talented and too old. Although they cannot achieve high achievements in magic, they still have no problem holding some ordinary positions in magic schools. Ellery is now the librarian.
After the school was built the next year, Werther wrote to the Dane family in Dorne, summoning Ashara Dayne to King's Landing and officially accepted her as a magic apprentice. This was Werther's first real disciple besides Renly.
Take it with you to teach at any time.
Dr. Marwin from the academy had a good relationship with Werther because of his research on magic. He introduced Qburn, who was exiled from the academy and was wandering around, to Werther. However, Werther knew that the man who transformed the Magic Mountain into an immortal was worried about finding him.
After meeting him, he turned out to be gifted with the summoning system. Witte began to teach him orthodox summoning spells, and Coburn also managed the school's logistics work.
In the past few years, Werther has not been very active on the mainland. Renly also looks like a wealthy man to the outside world and has little opportunity to show off his magic. Some people have begun to pretend to be magicians and deceive them everywhere, exorcising demons and pests, curing all diseases, and harmonizing the relationship between husband and wife.
.
The person who was just sentenced to death by Werther was a liar. This guy was operating near the High Court. He defrauded several nobles, 5 wealthy knights and more than 20 senior craftsmen out of their money. He also slept with the wives of 9 of them. Werther came here specially.
After exposing the deception, he joined forces with the lords of the deceived territory to chase him here before catching him.
Werther is now 15 years old and is as tall as an adult. Due to business reasons, he has a very good relationship with the Tyrell family. Garland Tyrell has also become thinner and is no longer fat.
The two of them were walking and talking about what happened this time. Werther was very angry and Garland was joking on the side.
"There are not many apprentices with potential, but scammers appear one after another, fuck XX"
A guard ran over and saluted and asked:
"Your Excellency, Chief Archmage, can we try that ice sword?" I said and looked at the ice sword that Witte had inserted on the river beach. A group of guards were surrounding it, eager to try it.
"Don't use your hands directly when putting on the glove, it will take about an hour before it melts."
"Thank you, sir." After receiving Witte's permission, a group of guards began to draw out their ice swords and play with them. However, within a few seconds, ice began to form on their gauntlets, and they had to be replaced. All of them marveled at the magic of magic.
Garlan Tyrell remembered something:
"I heard that a magician came from Dorne a few days ago. He should be in Highgarden now, but there is no movement. Do you want to go and investigate?"
"I also got the news. If you count the scammers' supplies, just distribute them to a few victims, as much as you can recover. When these scammers see each other, I will kill them one by one, and I will set off immediately," Witte was very angry.
The reason for anger is not the liar, but someone behind the scenes.

Highgarden City is divided into many layers by the city wall. The outer layer is very large and has a large number of residences and shops. Werther did not live in the inner city of the Tyrell family, but found a hotel to stay in for easier investigation.
[There are many Dornish merchants in the city, but this magician is very mysterious. There is no sign of any contact with the outside world, and there are no clues at all.]
At night, Werther was lying on the hotel bed, thinking about things in a daze before going to bed. Suddenly he felt weak and his energy was constantly losing.
I suddenly woke up, [Is this poisoning! Looking for money or life?]
He immediately used healing spells on himself, and yellow magic was scattered on his body, but it had no effect at all. After careful observation, he found that his vitality had not been lost at all, but was slowly exceeding the upper limit! His endurance was also decreasing.
Now Werther is lying on the bed unable to move, his vision has begun to blur, and the magic power in his body cannot be mobilized. Just when he was about to call someone, the door of the hotel room was opened, and two people came in.
"Did the medicine work?"
"It should be fine. He is a magician. I doubled the amount of elephant medicine according to its properties."
[The voices are from two women? Women should not be as ruthless as men. We need to talk about it.]
Werther quickly said:
"I understand the rules. Put the money in the closet next to you. If you take it and leave, I will pretend I don't know you."
[Then I will spread your ashes!]
The two of them were unmoved, and came over. One of them tied Werther to the bed with an iron chain, and the other took out a black hood and put it on Werther.
"I am the chief mage of the kingdom. If you have anything to say, please speak up and don't take off my pants."
At this time, Werther felt that his endurance was reduced, and at the same time, it was transformed into vitality and gathered in the lower body.
~~disappeared~~
The next day, Werther slept until he woke up naturally. Just when he wanted to move, his whole body ached. He looked up and saw a few oranges on the bedside table.
