Chapter 22: The Port City of Sivaran

At first, I thought that the King's Road was just a straight road connecting the two cities, but I didn't expect that there were so many forks in the road that I could not count them on two hands.

According to Anjef, these forks also lead to different cities, and since Sivaram is the largest port in the country, and the geographical location is quite advantageous, merchant ships from all over the world usually stop here for supplies, so it is also a distribution center for all kinds of goods. In order to facilitate transportation and obtain more benefits, any city with its own chamber of commerce will try to pave a road to Siwaran.

Since the funds for the paving of the roads were usually provided by the chamber of commerce, and the state did not subsidize the cent, in order to save costs, the merchants did not pave the roads directly to the gates of Siwaram and chose to connect them to the King's Road. Of course, the financial strength of the various chambers of commerce is different, so the width and flatness of the roads built also vary, which also causes the situation of the fork in the King's Road.

If it weren't for the Seven Eagles leading the way, I'd have gotten lost with Il alone, at least we wouldn't have been able to reach Sivaram so smoothly.

Perhaps it was the matter of the forest people that made everyone's hearts uncomfortable, and the atmosphere around them was still very dull until they entered the city gate, and there was hardly any conversation except for polite answers, let alone pleasant jokes.

However, the gloom that hung over the sky miraculously dissipated as soon as the city gates were entered, and it must have been dispelled by the city's unique vitality.

Both the setting of the streets and the layout of the houses can be seen to have been carefully planned, the color of the walls is quite gentle, and the style of the building is also very soft, and the whole city gives people a sense of comfort. As the sun sets, the harbor glows golden in the distance, and even through the many houses, you can see the towering masts of the giant merchant ships.

The business of the vendors did not stop because the sun was sinking in the west, but they used their fuller voices to attract customers. Sailors who came out of the harbor were attracted by the smell of barbecued meat and stopped to buy fatty meat skewers. The owner of the tavern cleans the door spotlessly for the busiest time of the day.

Regardless of the street, there are all kinds of goods on both sides, and if you walk around the city, you will find that there is no market in the city, because the whole city itself is a huge market.

"I'm going to have a drink tonight!"

"I'm going to eat a whole honey-glazed roast chicken!"

As if they had returned to their own homes, the members of the "Seven Feathered Eagles" were completely relaxed, smiling happily and shouting to blend in with the crowd.

"Mr. Carter, Mr. Eir, there's a lot of traffic here, don't be swept away." Anjef looked back and reminded kindly.

Il and I nodded, and followed him into the street.

Squeezing out of the surging crowds, we entered a five-story building that looked quite ordinary from the outside, and although the interior decoration was not luxurious, the pale yellow lighting was quite warm.

The lobby on the ground floor was much more spacious than I expected, with a reception desk near the entrance and a lot of tables and chairs inside. At the moment, it is full of people enjoying dinner, and at the back of the restaurant there is a staircase leading to the upper floor, which seems to be a building that serves both accommodation and dining.

After hearing the wind chimes at the door, the woman standing at the front desk looked over, she was about thirty years old, wearing silk clothes that showed half of her breasts and looked a little exposed, and her face was painted with charming heavy makeup.

"Aren't you all of the Seven Eagles! It's been a long time. Why didn't you see Peter? And these two again? The woman walked over with a rather pompous smile after seeing Anjief and the others.

"Ah, Peter is on a special mission, these two are Mr. Carter and Mr. Eir, Lilita, bring me all the good food and wine, and give me two more comfortable rooms." Anjev untied his wallet from his waist and threw it over.

The woman named Lilita took the purse and glanced inside, then the smile on her face became even brighter, "It seems that the work of the last few people has been done well, then I'll go!" ”

"Clean up the table over there!" The woman stretched out her slender fingers and grabbed a few coins in the money bag, threw it back to Anjief, and walked briskly towards the kitchen as she screamed.

"In order to repay the blessing of saving lives, the two of you will stay in Sivaran during this time, and we seven eagles will take care of the accommodation and food, so be sure to have a good time tonight, the food in this shop is the best in the whole city." We sat down at the freshly cleaned round table, and Anjief said enthusiastically.

"Captain Anjief, you're so polite, what's so embarrassing."

"If you hadn't helped Mr. Carter, Yarebak and I would have been unlucky, so please accept our gratitude." Anjef's tone was quite resolute, and it seemed that it would be difficult for him to give up.

But that's fine, I can use the rest of my money to buy other items.

Soon, the food and wine were brought up, and Il, after a whoosh, began to gobble up, and his whole mouth was instantly filled with food, and even so, he did not forget to praise it in a vague voice, "Delicious, delicious".

"Then, all of us of the Seven Eagles will come together to toast Mr. Carter! Mr. Carter, don't you take off the mask? Anjeve poured his glass full of wine and stood up.

"For that shocking punch!"

"For our fate!"

……

The others also stood up.

Well, what an unprecedented crisis! I can't bear to say no to them when they're so enthusiastic, but my body can't drink at all! The mask must not be removed, and it is not good to go on like this!

"Ah, Big Brother Carter doesn't drink alcohol for the sake of cultivation, so let me do it for me!" Ilr swallowed the food in his mouth and raised his glass.

Good Il, what a great help!

"Ah, yes, yes, I can't drink, and I have to be alone when I eat, otherwise my strength will drop, and I'm so sorry for your kindness." I continued to play with the excuses that Ilr had made for me, but it always felt like I was playing a little bit off.

"Is that so," Anjef seemed to be thinking, was he beginning to suspect something? Is this excuse still too clumsy?

"The person who wants to apologize should be me, I didn't ask you in advance to make my own assertions, a powerful person like you is of course different from us ordinary people." Anjief patted his forehead and said as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"That's right, that's right!" The rest of the team chimed in.

Huh? I didn't have any doubts about my flawed lies, what a false alarm, but people are always willing to believe what the strong say, maybe it's also a kind of nature.

"So, let's toast Mr. Carter!" Reorganizing the language, Anjev raised his glass again!

"Cheers!" The crisp sound of the wine glasses colliding makes everyone's hearts refilled with joy and pleasure.

At this moment, the wind chimes rang at the door, and it must have been a new guest entering, and just as I thought so, there was a sudden exclamation around me.

Out of instinct, I looked at the door with Anjiefu and the others, and saw a young man covered in blood standing there holding a girl.

"Peter?" Anjief seemed to know the young man in front of him, and a worried and surprised expression appeared on his face, while the other team members rushed towards the door in a panic.
