Bianfeng Town ushered in a long-lost rainy day. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the rain fell from the sky, hitting the windowsills and glasses, making crackling sounds...

Logically speaking, spring should be a rainy season, warm and humid. But in the border town, since the end of the Demon Moon, it has rained in a few times. Fortunately, the farmland is right beside the river, making it very convenient to water. Now, a heavy rain has dispelled the dullness in the air, and the nightingale opened the window and let the fragrance of the earth pour into the room.

From a distance, you can see that the crops on the other side of the Chishui River have sprouted new buds, and the green wheat seedlings are endless, extending to the end of the view. Under the washing of rain, these crops appear extremely bright, forming a sharp contrast with the gray river water.

Roland stretched and threw the quill in his hand into the pen holder.

"Have you painted?" asked Nightingale.

"Well, a brand new weapon can increase the fire rate of the musket several times," Roland stacked more than a dozen design drawings together and flattened. "I named it the revolver. Do you want to see it?"

"No," she curled her lips, "I can't understand anyway."

"This is just a basic type. If the barrel is shortened, it is a revolver and can be carried with you. However, if it is useful, another key technology needs to be solved. At that time, I will give you one by one, and I will no longer have to be afraid of the church's judges."

"You mean, it can make an ordinary woman knock down a fully armed man?"

"Not one, but several." Roland smiled proudly, "If you have good luck, the five big men are not a problem."

Nightingale showed a disbelief and was about to say something when a knock on the door suddenly rang out of the office.

"Your Highness, Barov's apprentice has returned from the capital, and he has brought the saltpeter merchant, and is now waiting for your reception outside the castle."

Roland, the assistant apprentice of the minister, thought about it before remembering this. When attacking the Changge Fortress, the town had very little gunpowder stock. He sent his personal guards to Zhulongling and Chishui City, hoping to obtain a new source of saltpeter. Barov's apprentice was the latest to be sent, and the destination was the capital. After all, there are all kinds of goods there, and with summer coming, the output of saltpeter will definitely increase greatly.

Unexpectedly, the person sent out at the latest was the first to bring back good news.

"Take them to the living room and I'll be there soon." Roland looked at the sky, "let's have another dessert in the kitchen."

When he looked back, the nightingale was gone.

But he knew that she was by his side.

...

When Roland walked into the living room, the saltpeter merchant was also led into the hall by the guards. She took off her wet cloak and straw hat and bowed to the prince, "I am Margarifman from the royal capital, I salute you, respectful His Royal Highness Wimbledon.

When Roland saw that the person who came was a woman, he was slightly stunned. The business environment in this era was far less safe than that in later generations. When he ran around, he might not only encounter bandits and refugees, but also local snakes and underground forces in towns, so female businessmen are rare.

Like Lightning, she has brilliant blonde hair, but her hair is denser and longer. She is about thirty years old. Perhaps because of ordinary people, wrinkles appear on the corners of her eyes and forehead. Her skin is darker and looks a bit rough at first glance. However, from her face, she is not a Mojin person, but like a fjord citizen.

"Sit," the prince made a call and then sat down in the main seat, "You are not a Grayburger man, are you?"

"Why do you say that?" Margaret smiled.

"The color of your hair is very rare in the continental kingdoms. As far as I know, most people on the other side of the strait have beautiful blonde hair, and I also know an...explorer from the other side of the sea."

"You are so knowledgeable. My hometown is indeed in the fjord, but I have been there for more than ten years. Now I live in the capital of the king, and I am half a person in the Gray Castle." She paused, "You have just left the king, maybe we have met somewhere. I feel very honored to live in the same city as His Highness."

Sure enough, a successful businessman was very good at speaking. Even though he knew that the other party was flattering and was almost done, Roland still felt very helpful. At this moment, he felt that he was pinching hard on his right... Well, there is no need to determine the authenticity at this time, the enthusiastic and responsible Comrade Nightingale.

"But when it comes to explorers, this is an amazing name in the fjords." Margaret continued, "You may not understand that the land where the people of the fjords can live is very rare, and the sea water rises and falls there. Some islands will be swallowed into the sea at high tide, while others will erupt with flames and smoke all day long. The stones will melt at high temperatures and gather into dark red rivers. Only those who open new waterways or discover new suitable islands are eligible for this title. Most people will not call themselves explorers."

"Haha, she not only calls herself an explorer, but also calls her father the greatest explorer," Roland smiled and shook her head, "A child likes to imagine herself as an amazing big man."

"In the fjord, even children will not easily say this name," Margaret frowned, "Did she mention her father's name?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Roland also realized that something was wrong. Could it be that the word explorer is the spiritual belief of Haimin and cannot be called randomly? "Her father's name is Thunder."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the name was said, the other party's eyes immediately widened, "Do you know Lord Thunder?"

"No, I know his daughter, why, have you heard of this name?"

"Who hasn't heard of this name in the Fjords! Lord Thunder discovered Shuangfeng Island and Hailong Bay, and almost half of the territory where everyone lives. He also drew detailed maps of the East Coast and Endless Cape. Now, 80% of the routes to the mainland were opened by him. Every child is familiar with Lord Thunder's deeds. He is one of the greatest explorers in the Fjords!"

"But I heard that Thunder seemed to be buried under the sea because of a storm..."

"No, Your Highness, a real explorer will not fall because of the storm. He has encountered countless dangers and eventually survived. At this moment, Lord Thunder must be summoning a new expedition somewhere, just like what he did before." Margaret leaned forward slightly, "Your Highness, do you know where his daughter is now?"
