Strictly speaking, the Drake Duchy was a duchy, so there was no such thing as a capital.
But as the location of the Duke Manor, Filios City was naturally the political and economic center of the Drake Duchy.
The Drake Duchy wasn't that big, so naturally Filios City wasn't that big before.
Not to mention comparing it to the Lampari Kingdom's capital, Anvilmar City, it was even smaller than the previous Banta City. It could be considered a small city that could be seen all over the Sines.
So when the Marquess Of Southguard and Seymour saw the walls of Filios City in the distance, they couldn't help revealing disappointed looks.
On the way, they had seen many novel things in the Drake Duchy, which could be considered an eye opener for them. It also made them look forward to seeing the most developed city in the Drake Duchy, Filios City, but they never thought that it would be like this after seeing it with their own eyes. It really made them disappointed.
However, the Magic Sedan carrying the two of them didn't head to the city walls in the distance, rather it went around in a circle, as if it was planning on going around the city.
Seymour was surprised. He asked the driver they hired when they hired the Magic Sedan, "Hey, where are you taking us?"
The driver looked at him in the rearview mirror and replied with a smile, "This customer, didn't you come here to buy a Magic Sedan?
It's not for sale in the old city.
The New Flyer's special store is in the new city, so I'm taking you there now. "
"New city?" Seymour muttered before looking at the Marquess Of Southguard.
The Marquess Of Southguard gave a slight nod, signalling for him to wait and see.
Seymour didn't ask anything else and leaned back in his seat.
Feeling the comfortable softness of the back seat, Seymour couldn't help letting out a satisfied moan.
If it was said that when he saw the Magic Sedan in the small town on the border, he was completely moved by the shocking speed of the Magic Sedan. Now that he hired this Magic Sedan and rode it all the way here, his heart was filled with praise for the Magic Sedan.
Not to mention that it was countless times faster than a traditional horse carriage, just based on the comfort of sitting in it, the Magic Sedan had already surpassed all the traditional horse carriages.
When he was in the Malor Empire, he had sat in the luxurious horse carriage of Duke Bai Di's family. Although that horse carriage was made of expensive materials and had the softest carpet, in terms of comfort, it couldn't compare to sitting in this Magic Sedan.
Of course, the reason why this Magic Sedan could make him feel as comfortable as sitting on his own sofa was mostly because of the smooth road they were driving on.
This was Seymour's first time seeing such a smooth road. When the Magic Sedan drove on it, he didn't feel any bumps at all.
It was completely different from riding on the bumpy gravel roads of the Malor Empire. Seymour and Marquess Of Southguard even fell asleep for a while due to the comfort.
After personally experiencing such a journey, Seymour made up his mind.
Of course he had to buy a Magic Sedan, but at the same time, he had to build several roads in the empire that were the same as this one.
Otherwise, even if it was the Magic Sedan, it wouldn't be that comfortable driving on those gravel roads.
The Magic Sedan with the two of them maintained a speed of around fifty kilometers an hour, quickly passing by the old city that was surrounded by the city walls on the road outside Filios City.
Marquess Of Southguard and Seymour looked out the window and they couldn't help taking a deep breath.
What appeared in front of the two of them was a group of buildings that they couldn't see the end of.
These buildings had the traditional low wooden houses on Sines, but most of them were tall brick buildings that were at least ten meters tall.
In the most conspicuous place in the distance, there were three buildings that soared into the sky that were at least several dozen meters tall, which looked very magnificent.
In the middle of these buildings, there was a series of equally straight, spacious, and flat roads crisscrossing each other, dividing this huge new city into neat areas.
On both sides of the road, there were tall iron pillars that were set apart and there was a beautiful Magic Lamp hanging at the top of each pillar.
They had seen these Magic Lamps before, they should have come from the New Flyer.
Seymour curiously asked the driver in front and learned that these were the so called "street lamps". When the light dimmed at night, they would light up and light up the entire road.
Hearing the driver's explanation, the Marquess Of Southguard and Seymour couldn't help praising them in their hearts.
Not mentioning anything else in Filios City, just based on these street lamps, it already surpassed all the other cities on the continent.
"Ha, ha, you haven't seen enough."
Who would have thought that after the driver heard their praises, he would break out in laughter and shake his head to deny their thoughts.
"Let me tell you, these street lamps were first developed in the Lampari Kingdom's Banta City before other cities followed suit.
Our Filios City is already considered quite late in building these things. "
"Banta City was the first to use these street lamps, is it because of the New Flyer?" Seymour kept asking.
They had heard many rumours about the New Flyer on the way, so they were very clear on how the New Flyer had started in the Lampari Kingdom's Banta City.
"Un, this thing was proposed by the New Flyer's Chairman Xu, so Banta City was the first to implement it.
Then everyone felt that this thing was very easy to use, so they all learned it. "
"It seems like ….. this New Flyer has changed the appearance of many cities with just these simple Magic Lamps and street lamps."
The Marquess Of Southguard gave an emotional sigh before looking at the three tall buildings in the distance and asking, "Then what is with these three tall buildings?
Could it be that they were also built by the New Flyer?
The Drake Duchy definitely couldn't build such tall buildings before, right? "
"Then these three buildings?
No, no, no, the New Flyer only makes magic machines, these three buildings weren't built by them, they were built by the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
But it's not wrong to say that it's related to the New Flyer since the most important materials for these three buildings, such as the cement and the steel bars, as well as the large amount of construction magic machines, were all provided by the New Flyer. "
"Cement?
Steel bars?
Construction magic machines? "This was the Marquess Of Southguard and Seymour's first time hearing these words, so they couldn't help being surprised.
The Marquess Of Southguard looked at the three buildings and couldn't help being shocked.
This New Flyer really was worth exploring. Whenever he thought that he had a good understanding of the New Flyer, there would always be something new that would make him realize his mistakes.
The Marquess Of Southguard suddenly felt that his decision to investigate the Drake Duchy after seeing the new magic machines in the Falk Kingdom couldn't be more correct.
If he could understand the background of the New Flyer, this trip would be very fruitful.
"Alright, we're here."
The Magic Sedan suddenly slowed down before slowing down and finally stopping.
The Marquess Of Southguard and Seymour looked out of the car and found that they were in front of a large building.
Through the window, they could see that there was a large sign on the door of the building, which had the words "Xinfei Product Service Center" written on it.
"Hey, we're here to buy Magic Sedans, what are we doing here?" Seymour couldn't help asking.
"That's right, this is the place that sells Magic Sedans." The driver opened the door for the two of them with a smile.
The Marquess Of Southguard and Seymour got out and there were two more Magic Sedans that stopped beside them. The followers that the Marquess Of Southguard had brought with him this time came out of the Magic Sedan.
They had taken two traditional horse carriages to come from the Falk Kingdom, but because they had seen the Magic Sedans in a small town on the border and had heard that there was a company that specialized in renting Magic Sedans, they had left their horse carriages in the town and rented three Magic Sedans, as well as hired drivers to come here.
It had to be said, this decision not only made their trip much more comfortable, it also saved them quite a bit of time.
That border town was over a hundred kilometers away from Filios City, so if they took a horse carriage, it would take at least half a day to get there.
But after changing to the Magic Sedans, it only took two hours.
The Marquess Of Southguard looked around the giant building that took over ten thousand square meters before giving a nod, "Let's go in and take a look."
The group came to the door and when the transparent glass door opened, there was a young and beautiful girl who came forward.
Everyone's eyes fell onto this young miss and they were stunned.
"This ….. This is a beastman?"
Seymour looked at the two furry rabbit ears sticking out of the young miss' head in surprise. He couldn't help reaching out to touch them to see if they were real, but the Marquess Of Southguard slapped his hand down.
"Pay attention to your actions, Seymour."
The Marquess Of Southguard reprimanded him before revealing an apologetic smile to the young miss, "I'm very sorry, this beautiful beastman young miss, I've frightened you."
The beastman young miss had indeed been a bit frightened by Seymour's actions, but now that she saw this noble looking middle aged man who wasn't a normal person apologizing to her in a sincere tone, she immediately forgot about this matter. She quickly waved her hand and said, "It's fine, it's fine.
This ….. Eh ….. Guests, may I ask if there's anything I can help you with? "
