Chapter 249 Blue City (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)
Looking from a distance, you can see the undulating silhouette in the distance, and there seem to be small black spots moored at the pier. Although there is no color, you can feel the prosperity.
"We're finally going ashore!"
Leiter let out a long breath. The long journey was somewhat boring, but when he arrived at the shore and returned to the human world, he felt inexplicably relaxed.
It was still Kraken Wharf, the path Leiter took when he came. At this time, there were still numerous ships of various sizes moored at the wharf, and many crew members and sailors were coming and going on the deck, busy with various tasks. And when they watched Leiter flying in the sky riding the fire grid, they all cast envious eyes. Flying Warcraft is the dream of most people.
Leiter scanned the harbor below, paying attention to each ship, and found traces of the Daton Chamber of Commerce merchant ships.
Last month, before heading to the stormy waters to subdue the Shock Elves, he successfully saved a shipwrecked Doton Chamber of Commerce merchant ship and killed all the pirates of the Red Moon. After all, he learned about the simulated vision and left no fish that slipped through the net. Naturally, There is no further pursuit.
Naturally, Leiter also gained the sincere friendship of the Coastal Chapter of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce.
His Panlong is relatively popular, but within the Daton Chamber of Commerce, the bulk of the profits are only in the hands of the headquarters and the branch responsible for Carlton who facilitated the cooperation. The other branches can only get a small commission and will not benefit much. Naturally Not much feeling either.
But that is different now. With this experience, Leiter has established a good relationship with the Coastal Chapter of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce.
It is equivalent to developing contacts along the coast of Donglan, and can even be used as a reliable news channel. After all, Leiter needs the help of the Daton Chamber of Commerce to investigate the truth about Rainbow Shell and find out the person who is suspected of knowing something about Rainbow Shell. mysterious person.
He is still haunted by the mysterious man who killed him because of the rainbow shell during the simulation. It was because during the simulation, he let the bard's friend Gad know the news about the rainbow shell. It is suspected that it was leaked to Manatee Island off the coast of Donglan, thus causing death.
Today is different from the past, Leiter has reached the peak of the magister, especially with the three major mysteries around him, which makes him fully confident in his own fighting power.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to come to Donglan Coast, he felt it was time to investigate the inside story...
Leiter looked at the Daton merchant's ship. It was empty. There were only a few sailors guarding the ship, and the cargo on the ship was also completely empty.
"It seems that we have been back for a few days. At this time, the relevant members are probably back to the Chamber of Commerce, so I will go directly to the Chamber of Commerce to visit."
While Lei Te was thinking, he ordered Huo Ge to rush towards the city.
Azure City, the largest main city along the East Blue coast, is also the territory of Blue Diamond Grand Duke Augustus. Looking at the city wall as deep as the ocean, I feel relaxed and happy.
Azure City has a history of more than two hundred years, older than the cities on the southwest border. The walls are not made of natural rocks, but are mixed with gems, crystals and other brightly colored ores, and are mixed and smelted with the rocks to create semi-structured walls. The transparent blue wall, and the magic is that when the light shines on it, it does not reflect the dazzling light, but becomes more restrained.
It took Leiter most of the day to arrive, overlooking the coastal city. He let the fire grid fall from a distance, and walked straight in, one man and one beast.
The guarding knights at the door stood upright and were divided into two rows to strictly guard. Leiter observed that there were even intermediate knights among them, which made him envious.
At present, his territory has not yet cultivated such a level of knights. Perhaps Lawrence will be the first!
The broad leaves are hanging down, the sun is shining brightly, and the wind carries the breath of the ocean. Just walking in the Azure City, Lei Te can experience a different kind of style, which is an experience he has never had in an inland city!
In the middle of the streets of this coastal city, there is a long row of milk coconut trees planted. I heard that the coconut juice inside is as pure white as milk. It is a very precious variety and tastes very delicious!
In this situation, Leiter unconsciously put down his steps and savored the unique style.
He walked slowly along the main road to the intersection, and saw the circus in an open field a hundred meters away from the corner.
There were Warcraft participating in the performance, and there were also three orcs, one each of a tauren, a pig, and a night owl. A large crowd gathered around, with high enthusiasm and endless shouts and noises.
The corners of Lei Te's lips curled up, and he watched with interest from a distance alone for a while, and then left alone.
Looking at the sign at the intersection, one of the red arrows points to the west, and the words 'Daton Chamber of Commerce' are written on the shoulder. After all, it is an old and powerful chamber of commerce that generates a lot of tax revenue every year. It is normal to receive such preferential treatment.
Seeing this, Leiter's thoughts couldn't help but spread. He should have thought of the importance of advertising space earlier. Maybe... he could arrange it for Dark Eagle City after he returns!
All the way to the entrance of Daton Chamber of Commerce, the four-story chamber is surrounded by an outer wall made of black crystal about ten meters high, which absorbs all the light and reveals a low-key, luxurious and noble atmosphere.
Leiter knew that the Daunton Chamber of Commerce renovations did not have to be uniform across the country, so each location had its own unique twist.
Almost as soon as Leiter reached the steps in front of the door, before he entered, he saw a familiar figure coming down the corner of the stairs deep in the hall.
Because Dashiell's office was upstairs, he saw Leiter's arrival through the black crystal glass and hurriedly came downstairs.
He greeted them enthusiastically. After all, some time ago in the East Blue Sea, their caravan was intercepted by the Red Moon pirate ship. The Earl of Leiter in front of him generously came to help and wiped out the entire ship in the sea. It was astonishing. His strength made him admire him.
"Oh, the refreshing sea breeze accompanies the arrival of an important guest. Count Leiter, it is so nice to see you again."
Dashiell, wearing a form-fitting dress, with a bald forehead and a warm smile on his face, came to greet Leiter.
"Vice President Dashiell, you look good too. It seems that you have almost recovered from your injuries." Leiter looked at Dashiell. Before he subdued the shock elf, he helped him fight against the Red Moon Pirates. , the opponent did suffer some injuries.
"Thanks to your blessing, we destroyed the second and third masters of the Red Moon Pirates, and we were able to return home with a full load and a smooth return. This injury is not a big deal." Dahir said with a shrug, casually touching his arm. A scabbed wound more than ten centimeters long.
"Oh? It was found out. Those two are the second and third masters of the Red Moon Pirates?" Leiter asked casually. He didn't care about it. He came here mainly to learn about other things.
"Yes, the Red Moon Pirates were newly established in the past two years. In the past, they only had the leader, and the original second-in-command was a fifth-level earth knight. But according to the latest information, the previous second-in-command died unexpectedly. What we encountered that day were two intermediate transcendent beings who had just joined us three months ago. However, they had just started their journey to the sea and met you unfortunately, and they all died."
Dashiel's eyes were bright, and the battle scene that day reappeared in his mind. Then he thought that the other party was only in his forties, but he had the level of a sixth-level magician. This was definitely a genius, and there was even hope in the future. Promoted to Grand Mage! He has secretly decided to make friends with Earl Leiter!
Leiter nodded and heard Dahir continue with a more enthusiastic voice: "Since we are here, Earl Leiter, please come in and take a look. Last time we traveled by sea to the ports of many cities in the Kingdom of Shilu, we made a lot of transactions. Something new, maybe something you are interested in. ”
"Oh?" Lei Te's expression changed slightly when he heard it was the Kingdom of Huilu. He responded and entered the hall together.
The Kingdom of Shiru is located in the northeast of the Kingdom of Rem, but its southeast corner extends a long tentacle on the map, making it one of the cities along the coast that has the closest trade with the Kingdom of Jinlun, and thus prospered and developed.
The coastal branch has a special exotic counter, and the decoration is different from other counters. Dashiell led Leiter aside and introduced fluently:
"This is the Echo Conch from the Kingdom of Gray. It can store sounds for a week. It's an interesting gadget..."
"This is numbing seaweed. It is a local flavor. It is quite popular among local nobles. It is harmless to the human body and can play many wonderful functions..."
"There is also this earth-type wand. It is beautifully made and is just at the mid-level level. If Count Leiter likes it, please feel free to take it!"
Leiter looked at a colorful wand on the counter and was not interested. Instead, he asked, "Can wands be considered a specialty there?"
"Haha, of course not, but in addition to specialties, the items we acquire include some low-priced items as long as the profit is huge enough. We will never refuse them." Dashiell said with a smile: "Earl Leiter doesn't know something. Every year, that Several coastal cities in the Kingdom of Huilu have many shady items that have been resold to us at relatively low prices..."
"I see..." After saying this, Leiter immediately understood that selling stolen goods is very common...
Following Dahir again, he scanned around the bright crystal counters and saw many unique and novel things, which also enriched his knowledge. But overall, there are no products that really stand out, and nothing that can help Leite.
Feeling that the tour was almost over, Leiter said casually after looking at a stone that could change into seven colors according to the temperature: "Vice President Dashiell, isn't the president not in the Chamber of Commerce today?"
"Yes, the headquarters held a temporary meeting some time ago. It seemed to be quite urgent. The president went to the royal city to listen to the temporary meeting." Dahir replied.
Lei Te's heart moved. Going to the Royal City for a meeting? Could it... be related to the fact that the royal family is about to announce that he has made meritorious service and been promoted to Marquis?
Not to mention, this possibility is not small. Although it is not yet the date for the royal family to publicly announce the news, such a major decision must not have been made on the day of the announcement, and must have been discussed in advance.
With the Doton Chamber of Commerce's century-old operation, it must have special connections and information channels within the royal family, and it is not impossible to obtain this information.
He remained calm on the surface and asked, "Did you tell me what exactly happened?"
"That's not true, and the date of his return has not been determined. If you have something to ask of him, I will tell you when the president comes back." Dahir shook his head and said.
After saying that, Dashiel looked at Leiter and asked curiously: "I don't know what Earl Leiter is doing. Maybe I can help you?"
Leiter looked at Dashiell, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to know some information."
When Dashiell heard this, he suddenly smiled confidently, patted his chest and said, "If Earl Rhett wants to find out information, I'm the right person to ask. Although I'm the vice president, I'm responsible for most of the external communication processes such as external supervision, contact, and negotiation, so I know a lot about the coastal areas of Donglan. What do you want to ask?"
Rhett's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know much about the situation on Manatee Island?"
"Manatee Island?" Dashiell was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect this question. He frowned and took Rhett to a secluded room. After the two sat down, he said, "Manatee Island is a chaotic place. I had some connections when I was there, but... given the special nature of that place, I couldn't know everything about it. What information does Earl Rhett want to know about Manatee Island?"
"Is there anyone in charge of Manatee Island? Or is it just a spontaneous gathering place?" Rhett asked after a little thought.
"Well, I don't know the original history of Manatee Island, but now the black market on the island is controlled by Quentin Monroe, one of the four major pirates in the East Blue Sea. Many industries on the island are actually managed by Quentin's leaders." Dashiell said slowly: "And I heard that it has secret cooperation with some forces in the Gray Ru Kingdom, specializing in dealing with some people or goods that are inconvenient to deal with there."
It means doing slave trade and assassination trade, and assisting in selling stolen goods... Rhett asked curiously: "Does the kingdom not care? Or what is the attitude of the Grand Duke of Blue Diamond?"
"It should be considered tacit approval. After all, Quentin is very smart. He knows who can be provoked and who should not be provoked. He never attacks the royal family and the merchant ships of the Grand Duke of Blue Diamond. And there are rumors that Manatee Island sends a large amount of money to the Grand Duke of Blue Diamond every year." Dashiell shrugged and said.
Seeing Rhett fall silent, Dashiell took a sip of tea and asked, "Count Rhett, is it possible that... you have an enemy on Manatee Island?"
It's no wonder he made such an association. After all, that chaotic place concealed countless filth. To inquire about the news of Manatee Island is nothing more than being interested in things or people.
But this is the Doton Chamber of Commerce. If you want to know about a certain item, it is better to ask them. Then the only option left is to find someone...
