Chapter 653: The Elf Kingdom’s Trade

“This…” the Elf King fell into deep thought.

“I will take my leave. I hope that Your Highness can make the right decision in your heart.” Kant bowed and took his leave.

When Kant’s feet once again stepped on the land of Cumberland, he took a deep breath.

“I can finally stop this pointless rush.”

After another two or three days, the Elf Kingdom’s Foreign Affairs Minister received the news.

When the Elf King issued a new policy to end the idleness of the refugees living in the mountains, the refugees came to his door and requested to participate in the market planning.

Kant was naturally happy about this.

It was the first time that the Elf King had made such a painful decision to face his own people. It was indeed not easy.

However, it could be seen that the Elf King still cared about his own people. It was just that he did not have enough courage to do something.

After this, perhaps something could be changed.

The rules of the free trade market were all based on Kant’s opinion, and they were made in consultation with the members of the Elf Kingdom.

Since it involved the interests of the citizens of both countries, it had a very strict regulation based on fairness. Moreover, a market inspection office was set up in North Market. A trial was held for disputes in the ordinary market.

The trade market was officially launched under the propaganda of the Foreign Affairs Minister.

The daily flow of people exceeded expectations, and the citizens of the Elf Kingdom would also come here to buy goods. However, due to the terrain, the main consumers of the North Market were still the people of Cumberland.

Kant found that the people who were in charge of farm work and animal husbandry always liked to go to the North Market when they were resting. Especially for families with small children, the happiest thing in the world was to go to the lively market together.

But this was probably because people were now filled with a sense of freshness towards the Elf Kingdom’s goods.

When the next batch of specially cultivated and processed goods from Cumberland came on the market, it was estimated that more elven citizens would come to pick up the goods.

At least until Cumberland fully matured, there would be no problems with the daily shopping.

Before they knew it, it was already summer, and the fruits in the fields could be harvested. Each family sorted and piled up the fruits in each family’s warehouse.

They waited for the official inspection and received salaries according to each family’s output.

Kant also followed the person in charge of the inspection to check. The results showed that the fruits in each family were all very good, and the quality was top-notch.

It seemed that everyone did not slack off in exerting their ability and experience and came up with a good result.

After reminding the payers to give out more rewards to everyone, Kant went to the harbor.

In the past few months, he would come to visit once in a while.

Every time he saw it, he would be pleasantly surprised. It was his first time seeing the ingenuity of the dwarf craftsmen’s construction, and he was truly impressed by the craftsmanship.

The blueprint was drawn by Kant himself before, and his drawing was not considered good. But the dwarf craftsmen accurately grasped the center of gravity of his design.

Looking at the construction of the harbor day by day, it was as if he saw the projection of a dream in reality.

Now that the harbor was finally completed, Vivian led Kant around to inspect the results.

“Amazing! Such a thing seems to have appeared in my dream! You guys only spent half the time to build such a perfect architecture,” Kant could not help but praise excitedly.

“Thank you for your praise. Every architecture made by the dwarfs will be amazing. But the key is to maintain the appearance that it has just been built.”

“Of course, we will do our best to protect it from being damaged,” Kant promised.

“Well, the Deep Sea Observatory that you asked us to build has also been completed,” Vivian introduced and then led Kant down the long escalator. They arrived at the observation platform 30 meters above the sea.

Kant walked to the front of the observation platform and saw a group of fish swimming past him through a layer of glass, he could not help but look surprised. “You are indeed architectural geniuses. This is just a small idea of mine. You actually built it so easily. I think everyone will like it here.”

Kant walked around the observation deck three or four times before he was willing to leave.

Back to the shore.

“You have worked hard these days,” Kant said to all the dwarf craftsmen. “I hope we will meet again.”

The dwarf craftsmen were still chattering, just like when they came.

After slightly waving goodbye to the people, they boarded the ship that came to pick them up.

Vivian walked at the end of the line. She bowed to Kant and said, “Goodbye.”

This was the first ship to sail out of the new harbor.

Kant named the harbor, Serron Harbor. He had heard it from other friends. In the west, it meant to wish you peace. Perhaps it was a good idea to use it on the harbor.

Everything in Cumberland was on the right track. After sending off the people from the Dwarf Kingdom, Kant was finally free.

He would drink in the tavern with the Foreign Affairs Minister now and then, but this leisure was quickly broken.

From the letter sent by Drondheim, Commander Bunduk requested him to return to the main city of Drondheim within three days.

Although Kant did not know why he was so anxious, he immediately began to make preparations for the return journey.

After communicating with his subordinates one by one, Kant also bade farewell to the residents of Cumberland. Some of them even went to the market and drank with him.

After spending a long time together, they gradually developed a feeling of dependence on each other.

Kant thought that he might not be suitable to be the manager of this place. As a manager, he should keep a distance from the people under management so that he could make a fair judgment at the critical moment.

However, when Kant thought that he was facing a group of civilians responsible for the production and business and not warriors who had to fight on the battlefield, he could not help but relax and get along with them.

Kant also wrote a letter to the Foreign Affairs Minister and the Elf King, hoping that they could take care of the situation in the North Market while he was away.

After arranging everything, Kant set off on the return journey to Drondheim.

The carriage traveled day and night on the road had finally arrived at the main city of Drondheim.

Outside the city, there were light cavalries who were in charge of welcoming and interacting with each other. Kant looked at the city that had been repaired after the war and was filled with emotion.

After all, this was the main city of the Nahrin Desert, the beginning of everything. After passing through the initial difficult moments, it had finally become the mainstay and the strong backing of the entire faction.
