Chapter 859
Chapter 856 Port carlin
After seven days and seven nights of sailing, the high-speed smuggling ship of the Thieves Guild finally slowly sailed into one of the most prosperous cities in the entire continent, Port Carlin…
Standing on the deck overlooking the magnificent and prosperous port from a distance, Henry felt a great shock from the bottom of his heart. Compared with the famous cities on the west coast such as Deepwater City, Ascatraz, Silver Moon City, and Baldur’s Gate, Ka Lin Gang is far more than too much.
The countless intricate houses and mansions imply that there are countless wealthy people living here. The well-equipped guards at the door can illustrate this point. However, among the gorgeous streetscapes, there are more alleys full of dilapidated wooden houses, some of which are revealed. The fierce guy is always wandering nearby, and as a druid, he can even vaguely recognize the beasts in the crowd.
The contrast between wealth and poverty is very sharp. There is no so-called middle class in this city, either desperately climbing up to become a wealthy class, or being crushed by competitors, becoming homeless, beggars, or even gangsters and villains.
“The atmosphere of Kalin Port makes many Kalinshan people feel at home, but it makes strangers from the north feel bad. Young man, before going ashore, I give you a piece of advice. Don’t be nosy, no matter you You have to be patient when you see how angry the situation is. This city has its own unique order. Anyone who dares to destroy it will end up being killed in the dirty streets without exception.” The captain of the smuggling ship lowered his voice and announced. Warned.
Obviously, he didn’t know Henry’s true identity. In fact, Robert did not tell anyone about this in order to ensure that his identity would not be broken down. The thieves, sailors and captain of the ship only knew that one of them paid a high price and took a downwind boat. Young druid.
Of course, Henry’s extremely young appearance is also very deceptive. Almost no one would have too much doubt about a teenager, because at this age, most human beings are still in restless puberty, and no matter how happy, angry, sad or happy, they will be directly expressed on the face, and there is no motive at all.
“Thank you for your advice. Don’t worry. I am not one of those hot-blooded teenagers with excess sense of justice. On the contrary, I came here to appreciate Karinshan’s unique desert style, and maybe I will buy some beautiful women (slaves). Enjoy it, and buy a few more powerful male slaves as guards. After all, survival of the fittest is also one of the basic laws of nature.” After finishing Henry touched Ares’s thick fur.
Since entering the southern waters. This big brown bear, disguised as a panda, has always been unhappy because the hot weather has made it very uncomfortable for living in the north. Although it has been blessed with the “tolerable environment”, the bad food on board still makes it quite dissatisfied.
“Aha! Young people who like to enjoy.” The captain immediately showed a wretched smile on his face. “I can give you some suggestions if you want to buy slaves, of course you have to show it a little bit.”
Henry said nothing. Directly took out ten gold coins from the purse and put them in the other’s hand, then smiled and asked: “I think these will be enough for you to have a good meal after landing, and then I will find a beautiful and gentle Karinshan woman to relax. Now you can I have suggested, Mr. Captain.”
“Haha! Of course! Of course!”
The captain with a beard put each gold coin in his mouth and bite it. After confirming that they are all true, he said contentedly: “First of all, the Lang Nail Chamber of Commerce, they control about 30% of the entire Karinshan slave trade. , From the sturdy barbarians in the north to the elves in the jungle in the south. As long as you can afford it, almost any race can buy it.”
“Second are the two big arenas in the city. They sell all year-round gladiators who have experienced many battles. They are all professionally trained. They are loyal to the owner. The disadvantage is that the price is a bit too expensive. It is said that some can even sell for a few. Ten thousand gold coins.”
“As for the last channel, of course, the most distinctive gang in Port Carlin. They also sell some slaves. Although there are many good ones, you must be careful. Once these guys find you vulnerable, they will immediately choose to go directly. Start grabbing. Personally, I don’t recommend you to try the last one. Although you are carrying a big bear, it looks a bit funny. It may not be able to deter desperadoes.”
“Thank you very much for your introduction. I think I already have a certain understanding of this city. As for my animal companion called Panpan, it is a rare species from the eastern Karatu continent. Don’t look cute, but in fact It’s a very ferocious beast like a bear.” Henry didn’t care about Ares’s contempt in his eyes, and directly said the fake identity that he had fabricated.
Hearing the three words of Karatu, his eyes light up: “Oh?! Rare animals in the Eastern Continent? Then you have to be careful. There are many weird people who like to collect strange and weird animals in this city. You have caused a lot of unexpected troubles.”
Henry shrugged his shoulders indifferently, with a joking smile on his face: “Is it troublesome? It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t necessarily have to be someone who is in trouble.”
“Roar!”
Ares’ mouth full of fangs let out a low growl, as if to say who would dare to hit my idea, I would just kill him.
The smuggling vessel quickly entered the berth under the guidance of the port officer. After the captain paid a small bag of gold coins, the officer in the white robe didn’t even check the cargo and left with the soldiers.
In Karinshan, accepting bribes is almost everywhere. At this little time of getting off the boat, Henry saw that several of the ships that had just docked were doing the same thing. Some of them gave more, some gave more. It seems that it has something to do with the power behind the shipowner.
“It’s really a country full of **** and chaos…” Henry sighed in a low voice, and without a word he took Ares towards the city.
As soon as he walked through a street, he immediately understood what the captain was saying about anger.
I saw a large number of unclothed children in the corner. Their stomachs were swollen from hunger. They crawled on the ground, trying to find something to eat from the hot sand.
Suddenly, a gold-plated carriage full of slaves ran by and ran directly over the children. In an instant, blood was splashed and at least two children died. But the soldiers patrolling the roadside didn’t seem to see anything, and the passersby just glanced indifferently.
What’s worse is that part of the avenue is full of dirty gutters on both sides. Perhaps the sewers are not well designed, so they are used instead of sewage pipes. The corpses of a large number of destitute people were thrown inside. In addition, some people fell tragically on the side of the road, silently waiting for death to come.
Of course, any city has an ugly side, but at the same time it also has a bright side.
Through the bustling streets, Henry finally came to the bustling market area. The dense crowds and the variety of commodities instantly attracted his attention. Weapons, food, tobacco, coffee from the Maztec continent, and most importantly, slaves were auctioned off here!
The merchants used various methods to attract buyers without any bottom line. They used crossbows to shoot the living slaves, and made the almost naked women (dancing) dance with the giant snakes with only the key parts wearing translucent tulle…
In short, there are only things you can’t think of, and none of these business people can’t show them. In a truly unrestricted trade market, everything can be sold.
“Good-hearted sir, give me something to eat!” A naked boy with almost black skin, kneeling on the ground with his hands in his hands and begging in a low voice.
Before Henry could respond, a guard who looked like he was in charge of keeping the law and order rushed over and took off. Kicked the little beggar out in an instant, and then cursed loudly: “Go away! You **** pickpockets, how many times have I warned that you are not allowed to steal in this area.”
“Cut! It’s annoying! Be careful. I tell the boss of Jabir that you are obstructing our business.” The young beggar rubbed his stomach after falling on the ground and immediately issued a vicious threat. His eyes were fierce and arrogant, and he was totally different from the pitiful look just now.
“Bah! A small group of gangsters really think of themselves as a guild? Get out! By the way, tell Jabir, if I see his people appear here again. Then he will spend the rest of his life in the cell.” The guard didn’t care about the little beggar’s threat, and gave a spit to the ground.
A smile appeared on Henry’s face as he watched the boy who disappeared in the alley angrily. Directly took out a gold coin and threw it to the guards: “Thank you for your help. I just came to Carlin Port by boat. Can you tell me what are the precautions here?”
“Of course!” The guard carefully put the gold coin into his close-fitting pocket and nodded slightly.
“First, never give alms to any beggar. Although many of them are really poor people, they are more of thieves controlled by gangs. Once they find rich and kind people, they will immediately flock to them. After the chaos, you will immediately find that your purse and valuables are missing.”
“Second, don’t trust the credibility of those traders. And never choose to go outside the city to see the goods, because they usually have close contacts with the bandits.”
“Third, if you have money, you’d better go to the arena to buy a few gladiators as guards, so you can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.”
“That’s it It seems that this city is more dangerous than I thought. You are such a good person.” Henry pretended to be incomprehensible, saluted very sincerely, and followed him. Reese couldn’t help rolling his eyes when he saw this scene.
“A good man?” The guard laughed at the word and shook his head. “No, young man, there are no good people in this city. The reason I help you is because seeing you dressed as a rich person can get some benefits. As for the dirty adventurers, I don’t bother to care about them. It’s.”
After speaking, he turned and walked to other places, before disappearing into the crowd after a while.
Henry shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and took Ares to continue wandering the market, buying a lot of fragrant food, behaving like a teenager who had just left home and was curious about everything, as if he hadn’t paid attention at all. There were a few pairs of eyes watching him secretly.
