Volume 4 Chapter 50 - Ampriston Town (1/2)

Ampriston Town was on the southwest corner of the Mirando Duchy. It bordered the Rudson Kingdom to the south and was surrounded by the Lampuri Kingdom to the north and west.

Rivers flowed into the center of this town before flowing further east.

This river was called the Sandy River in the Lampuri Kingdom, but it was called the Mirando River in the Mirando Duchy.

The reason for this was because any river that was more than fifty meters wide in the Mirando Duchy could be considered a river.

Other than this river, Ampriston Town wasn’t any different from the other towns of the Mirando Duchy, it was just as peaceful and calm.

This Ampriston Town had existed for several hundred years on the continent. No matter how the continent changed, no one would be interested in this small town without any special characteristics.

The people of Ampriston Town thought the same. They had lived for several hundred years like this, living peaceful lives every day until the day they died.

However, when the continent entered the second half of year 3783, the peace of this town was broken.

It was a certain day when several large boats floated down the Mirando River.

There was the mark of the Lampuri Kingdom on these boats, but other than some men who spoke with the accent of Banta City that wasn’t far away upriver, there were also large beastmen with strange appearance who looked quite fierce!

However, what surprised the people of Ampriston Town was that these large beastmen didn’t run around killing and pillaging. Rather after they got off the boat, they began working under the directions of the humans.

After watching for some time, people found that these beastmen weren’t the legendary beastman slaves.

Because the humans on the boat didn’t restrict the beastmen, rather they treated them no different from normal people.

As time passed, when people looked away from the strange beastmen, they noticed something else surprising.

Before they realized it, there was actually a large wharf that had been built by the Mirando River!

And not far away from this wharf, there was a giant building. It was almost double the size of the largest church in town.

Everyone was surprised by this building.

They couldn’t understand it at all, why did these Lampuri Kingdom people come to this small town to build such a large wharf and to build this unknown building?

Even if these people were accompanied by the mayor and there were even important people like Counts that came to inspect these things that the duchy had approved of, people were still worried.

But that worry didn’t last long. It didn’t take long before the people of the town realized that these people brought them many benefits.

There were over a hundred humans and beastmen who came from that boat. Although they brought all kinds of goods off the boat, they didn’t prepare any food or clothing. If they wanted to solve that problem, they naturally had to turn to the town.

These large men all seemed to be rich and they were generous. When they ate a meal, they gave several silver coins which was several times more than what the ingredients had cost.

Moreover, other than when they eat, these large men work hard, so they love drinking wine at night.

Although the wine of Ampriston Town wasn’t considered that good, these men, especially the beastmen took everything and drank it all down.

Once they were addicted, they might even lose a gold coin.

In just over a month, the people of the town were surprised to find that because of this mysterious fleet, they had gained many surprising benefits.

It was a pity that this didn’t last. After the wharf and the unknown building were finished, these men left the town.

But before they could be disappointed for more than a few days, there were several hundred human men who had arrived in this town.

These men didn’t come from the Mirando River, rather they were riding a strange thing called the Magic Car when they arrived.

After stopping at this town, these men started to walk around the town.

They said that they were preparing to build a road.

Road?

Ampriston Town shared a border with the Lampuri Kingdom, so they had heard of this thing that had been all over the Lampuri Kingdom. However, why did they come here to build this thing?

But the answer didn’t matter to the people of the town. The most important thing was that because these people were here, the board and lodging business in the town became prosperous.

Even well informed merchants started moving after asking these people, building a restaurant on the newly built wharf just to cater to these people.

After a few months, there were three more roads in this town.
