Chapter 728: The Rhyme of the Sea
The Freeport Domingo is located on the seashore in the northwest of the island of Cristo, because there is a deep water bay, which is a natural deep-water port, making Domingo, which was originally a small fishing village, one of the best deep-water ports on the island of Cristo. In less than a hundred years, Domingo has grown into a massive city with a population of more than 100,000 people, and even though it is constantly harassed by sea creatures and pirates, it cannot affect its importance.
The twelve-meter-thick double-layered boulder walls that even the legendary Beamon beast would not have breached when they came, and since the day it was founded, the city has been a neutral place without war.
As the largest trading hub in the northwest of the Kingdom of Christo, Domingo gathers merchants and goods from different continents, whether it is precious alchemy materials or rare and strange alchemy items, everything is available here.
Every spring, the Business Alliance holds a grand auction in the city, not only the Kingdom of Christo, but also the merchants of the most remote continent of Strand, who will send special people to purchase here, which can be said to be an annual business event.
……
At noon, there was a long queue in front of the gates of Domingo, mostly for the auction to be held in a few days.
For this reason, Domingo City has also specially increased the number of guards to maintain order in order to prevent any unexpected incidents.
In the distance, a small black carriage ran down the cobblestone avenue, and behind the wheel was a traveler in a black cloak, the wide dark black cloak covering the whole person, and the exact gender and age were not visible.
As soon as the originally listless captain of the city guard saw the visitor, he immediately showed a flattering and flattering face to greet him, this behavior was not only puzzled by passers-by, but also his subordinates were also confused.
"Did the captain take the wrong medicine today?" a soldier whispered to his companion.
"That's it, you see that this person is dressed very ordinarily, what kind of hospitality does the captain give?"
"Stupid!!" the whispers of the two young soldiers were heard by the veteran beside him, and he immediately reprimanded him;
"Ah......h
Only then did the sluggish Xinding react. Among the merchants who trade with Domingo these days, many of them are great nobles who hide their identities. The supremacy of royal power is the immutable law of the human world, whether it is in their own country or not, nobles can execute civilians at will, if the other party is a nobleman, just the previous unintentional discussion is enough for them to lose their heads, the two soldiers can't help but shudder at the thought of this.
The emperor in the carriage stretched out a white and delicate palm, and a beating flame suddenly appeared in the palm of his palm, and the flame was then extinguished.
"Look, it's a wizard......"
"I've heard that wizards come and go to Domingo frequently, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
The merchants who were closer to each other began to whisper, recognizing the identity of the person at a glance.
"Your Excellency, please come in. The captain of the guard hurriedly ordered the merchants and other people entering and leaving the city in front of him to get out of the way...... Wizards have a pivotal position in the mortal world, and any official wizard automatically becomes a nobleman after qualifying for the official workload...... And this title of nobility is recognized by various countries.
Under the watchful eyes of the city guards and merchants, the carriage soon disappeared at the end of Domingo's streets.
……
The name of the Sea Bar is quite picturesque, but most of the people who come and go are rude adventurers, sailors, or some merchants. But this tavern also has a remarkable function, which is that it is a distribution center for intelligence and a trading place on the black market.
Bang!
A large wine glass sits heavily on the bar, and a few drops of pale yellow, amber-like wine splash inside, diffusing the rich aroma of fruit.
"Your goose pineapple fruit wine!" said a muscular, bald man faintly, and then picked up a dirty handkerchief on the table and wiped the wine on his hands. He had a hideous blue-black wolf head tattooed on his right arm. Sitting behind the bar is like a small mountain of meat, which is very oppressive.
Merlin sat at the bar, picked up the fruit wine, sniffed it gently, a bright color flashed in her eyes, and then took a sip lightly...... A sour and astringent feeling with a hint of fragrance and sweetness welled up in the mouth.
"Good taste, if there is a way to remove the astringency inside, it is estimated that it will be more perfect. She put down her glass and commented.
"You're very knowledgeable. The strong man gave her a thumbs up. Grinned.
The sea rhyme bar is dimly lit, and there are more than a dozen round brown wooden tables around the sparse and sparse number of customers. A bald sailor with a sword, a samurai with a beard on his face that can't be seen clearly, an adventurer who still smells of blood, and a drunkard who smells of alcohol...... And so on and so forth, everybody.
Some scantily clad and beautiful maids kept moving from table to table...... Laughter, bragging, and swearing were incessant, and the whole tavern was in a noisy scene.
A down-and-out bard sits by a bar window, alone playing a worn-out harp. The music is still pleasant, which makes the environment even more noisy.
Merlin sat at the bar, dressed in dark green tight-fitting leather armor, with the Ink Shadow Sword on her back, and the Alius bow in her hand leaning on the bar, exuding an extremely fierce aura on her body.
She glanced back at the bar, picked up her glass, took a silent sip, and gently placed it on the table.
"The wine is good, is the owner here? I want to ask him to order some fruit wine to drink slowly." Merlin asked softly.
Behind the bar, the eyes of a strong man with a wolf's head moved.
"If you want to find the boss to order wine, you need a lot of money. ”
"It's okay, money isn't a problem. ”
"Then please come with me. The brawny man shrugged, "Horna! He shouted at a bewitching girl who was serving wine not far away.
"Okay. The girl nodded, handed the tray to the others, and walked over to the place.
The strong man led Merlin to a small door on the side of the bar.
Inside the small door is not a big room sound, and there are several colorful oil paintings hanging on the wall, which look a little dim under the dim light.
As soon as he walked in, a trace of awe suddenly appeared on the strong man's face, and he closed the door with his backhand.
"Dear Lord Merlin, we already know your intentions. The strong man lowered his head and said respectfully.
"I guess there's already a result, right?" asked Merlin faintly.
Sea Charm is a chain of bars, and she entrusted Sea Charm Bar to help buy some materials on the black market, and she will trade them today.
"Of course. Do you want to take a look at the list, you will definitely be satisfied. The strong man hurriedly said. "I'm in charge of this here. Been waiting for you here for more than ten days in advance and everything is ......"
"Let's start trading. Merlin said lightly.
