Chapter 20: A Chance Encounter at the Port
As a port designed and built by people in Kyushu, the Port of Mingzhou is very different from the port built by the School City itself, even if some of the plans provided by the School City are added. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The main difference is that the Port of Minzhou is not clearly divided into cargo and passenger areas, and all ships can be berthed for both unloading cargo and passengers. Therefore, most of the ships coming to Mingzhou Port are dual-purpose cargo and passengers, that is, carrying passengers and transporting goods.
All berths are connected by a long wooden passage to the harbor's administrative area, where large houses built by the monks are used to manage the foreign population entering Kyushu.
All wooden passages lead to the management area with guidance signs that guide disembarking passengers to enter the management area correctly, so that they will not be injured or disoriented as long as they follow these guidance signs.
If you dare to ignore the guidance signs in Mingzhou Harbor, you will be injured by the magic circle laid in the port and save your life, and if you are serious, you will be killed on the spot by the patrol monks, so as to set an example.
Under normal circumstances, most of the ships coming to Mingzhou Port are pure cargo ships, and they will unload knitted clothes, snacks and toys, and even some communication supplies produced in the school city, and occasionally some rare cultivation resources. Then take away the rare metals that Xiuzhen didn't need on the way from Mingzhou Port, the monster beast meat with excellent meat quality and high price, and a large number of mass-produced grains from Kyushu, and occasionally you can directly get the gold and silver dollars and silver tickets paid by the Kyushu monks.
There are not many gold and silver minerals in Kyushu, and they can even be described as scarce, so gold and silver were used as the main precious currency during the ancient dynasties. However, after the cultivators ruled Kyushu and established the realm of the cultivators, the precious currency changed from gold and silver to spiritual stones with aura, and the status of gold and silver plummeted, and only ordinary people still used these things.
Later, in order to return the spirit stone to its original cultivation resources, the Kyushu Immortal League issued a credit currency based on the guarantee of the Immortal League, which is now the gold and silver dollar copper coins commonly used in Kyushu, and even silver tickets made of rune paper. At the same time, Xianmeng also set up money banks all over the states of Kyushu to facilitate the promotion of this credit currency.
This currency is not made of gold and silver, but only gold and silver in color, and it is not very valuable in itself, and it is only collectible in the outside world.
In Kyushu, you can only buy things using the currency of the Immortal League, and the first thing that every outsider who enters Kyushu is to exchange money. Therefore, there is a special money bank in the management area of Mingzhou Port, which has no function of saving and withdrawing money, only the exchange of currency, from gold and silver dollars to foreign currency, and from foreign currency to gold and silver dollars.
The tall, dark-haired Executive Commissioner returned to the short, blonde Executive Commissioner after exchanging all the currency on his body.
"Catherine, the money has been exchanged, let's go into the city, what a good thing to do."
"Ye Sheng, don't worry." The short girl didn't want to leave the harbor so soon, and it took some time for her to get used to the undisguised coercion of the newborn dragon king.
Glancing up with some annoyance, Catherine said, "What a nasty fellow, is it summoning the dragon servants to come over by unleashing coercion so wantonly?" ”
"There is the Kyushu Great Enchantment, and the dragon attendants outside can't feel this layer of coercion, and if they don't even enter the coercive area, you will completely ignore this layer of coercion." Ye Sheng patted Catherine on the shoulder, "Okay, let's hurry up and confirm the identity of the Dragon King and report to the top." It's better to get rid of this dragon king as soon as possible, or the hidden dragon servants will start moving. ”
Stretching, Catherine said lightly, "All right! You should be glad that there are no dragon servants on the land of Kyushu, otherwise what awaits us is an encirclement of dragon attendants, how can we still be allowed to move freely? ”
"I've always had doubts about this conclusion. Could it be that because of the existence of the Kyushu Great Enchantment, because of the existence of the Kyushu Demon Beasts, the dragon clan that once ruled the world will not be able to adapt to the environment of Kyushu, resulting in the dragon attendants being unable to live in Kyushu, resulting in the absence of hybrids in Kyushu? However, Ye Sheng had a different opinion, and he had always been skeptical of the conclusions of the academy's teachings.
"It doesn't matter what caused those guys in the academy to come to this conclusion, anyway, as far as the actual situation is concerned, there are no native hybrids in Kyushu, and all hybrids enter from the outside. We can also face fewer dragon squires, which is great, isn't it? ”
Ye Sheng nodded, glancing at the crowd in the harbor waiting room.
"Wait!"
After seeing a touch of long red hair, Ye Sheng instinctively grabbed Catherine, causing Catherine to ask dissatisfiedly:
"What are you doing!? Did you say you were leaving!? ”
"Look over there." Ye Sheng didn't explain the reason directly, but turned his head to let Catherine look at the other side of the harbor waiting room.
Catherine looked in the direction indicated by Ye Sheng and saw a group of people dressed in traditional Kyushu costumes staying in the waiting room, as if they were welcoming someone out of the port. The group, mostly servants, formed a semicircle and guarded a family standing in the center.
The slightly older man, dressed in a luxurious monk's robe, looked very solemn. Next to the man was a red-haired young wife, who was holding the little hand of her two- or three-year-old daughter, and on the other side stood an eleven or twelve-year-old boy yawning a little boredly.
With just a glance, Catherine knew why Ye Sheng was holding herself.
Kyushu humans only have black hair, no other color hair, and even if they do, it is because they have the blood of other races in their bodies, such as demon races, such as foreign races.
"Redhead...... Do you suspect that the woman is half-blooded? Glancing back at Ye Sheng, Catherine said, "Are you too worried?" She may also have demon blood, right? ”
Ye Sheng opened his golden pupils and stared at the family of four, and suddenly a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "If my sensory tube didn't lie to me, that woman had dragon blood flowing on her body, which was unquestionable." And that little girl ......"
Catherine looked at Ye Sheng inexplicably, and read a few words that Ye Sheng didn't make a sound.
Then Catherine's eyes dilated, her pupils narrowed, and she looked at the family of four in astonishment, and her eyes couldn't help but turn into golden pupils.
Just as the two executive department commissioners were staring at the family of four with their golden pupils, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy suddenly looked back in the direction of the two executive department commissioners, and the two executive department commissioners were frightened to immediately retract their gaze. They thought they had been discovered by the other party, but out of the corner of their eye, they saw the young man's attention sweep away from them and turn elsewhere.
The two commissioners, who breathed a sigh of relief, immediately turned around and left, and they had to plan their next move.
The eleven or twelve-year-old boy, that is, Ouyang, didn't pay much attention to it after sweeping the two executive department commissioners, and looked into the distance, where there was another strange guy from the school city.
I saw that this guy was wearing a gray robe, and his head was completely covered by a hood, so that people could not see the face under the hood. However, from the gray hood, Ouyang could still see two golden-colored highlights, which were golden pupils.
For Ouyang, who has the talent of the law of light, the gaze can also be regarded as a kind of light, which can be easily detected by Ouyang. Therefore, in the process of being in the middle of the port, after noticing the three special gazes, Ouyang looked back, wanting to take a look at the owner of the three gazes.
Then Ouyang found three half-breeds with dragon blood, and the concentration of dragon blood in the last one was still very high, far above himself and his mother Mai Uesugi.
The strange guy looked at Ouyang for three seconds before turning around silently and leaving.
The departure of these three people did not attract Ouyang's attention, because in the eyes of Ouyang, who had recovered half of his strength, there was no threat to monks below the Mahayana period, let alone these half-bloods who were not as good as the Mahayana period monks.
