Chapter 51: The Sauron Empire of Salt
Standing on the slightly shaky deck, Stern and Thea raised their left hands and kept waving towards the shore, today all the dwarves have come to the golden sand, they are here to see off Stern and Thea, these last two days have passed in the blink of an eye, the moment of parting is always reluctant, but now is the time to leave.
The weather has entered the warm season, and the temperature has begun to gradually rise, the sun shines on the face slightly hot, and the oncoming sea breeze will slightly take away a trace of heat. Stern took the compass and controlled the teak boat to sail in the direction of the northeast Sauron Empire, mainly because it would take about half a month to go directly to the Bauhinia Empire, and he was afraid that there would be another strong wind and waves during the period and overturn the small teak boat, so Stern decided to change the route to the Sauron Empire first, and then take a big ship from the Sauron Empire back to the Bauhinia Empire, so that the road would be relatively safer.
It would take about seven days from the island to the Sauron Empire, and the two of them and the three beasts would spend the time on this teak boat during those seven days. Avanti and Stern are becoming more and more proficient in communication, and they are almost half an adult.
Now the direction control of the teak boat is controlled by Thea, Stern, and Avanti in turn, and the seven days pass quickly, and on the seventh day they can see the land, looking at the European-style buildings on the land, and the coast driven by human heads, alas, finally out of trouble, Stern wants to cry out very much.
All this was very new to Shia, who had grown up on a small island, he had never seen such a nice house, so many tall people, and his mood was always in a state of excitement along the way along the coast.
If you want to take a big ship back, you must dock in the harbor, and in the past, Stern came to the Sauron Empire to disembark at Hilton Harbor, and this time he also planned to dock the teak ship at Hilton Harbor.
Coming to Hilton Harbor, Stern and Thea got off the ship and came to land, at this time their arrival attracted the attention of everyone in the port, "Look, there is a legendary dwarf there", the people of the Sauron Empire have never seen dwarves, so they were very surprised after seeing Thea, and began to talk about it.
With the appearance of the timberwolf and the wind leopard that jumped out of the boat, they were immediately frightened and fled back, in the lonely island of the Sauron Empire, demonic beasts are rare, and most of the passers-by in the port have never seen such a terrifying demonic beast at this time, and it is normal to be afraid.
At this time, a port worker came up and saw that he was not afraid, indicating that he had seen such battles occasionally, and he said to Stern very politely, "Sir, I am sorry to disturb, your ship is going to dock at the berth in the port, and you need to pay a berthing fee of 200 silver coins a day, please come with me to go through the formalities."
"Okay," Stern replied simply, and went with the staff to the formalities. Stern left the port after paying a fee for a gold coin, since he came to the Sauron Empire, he had no intention of rushing back, and it was not too late to take care of several things before going back.
Stern is now in the city of Salt, the Sauron Empire, and Stern and Thea rode their respective contract beasts on the flat road of Salt, and the pedestrians on the side of the road were afraid to give way and came to the largest inn in Salt.
Venus Hostel is the largest hostel in Salt, and it not only has high-end rooms for people to rest, but also a special place for contract monsters to rest. Stern walked into the hostel and came to the counter, "The boss booked me two single rooms, and by the way, gave my three monsters a place to rest."
The innkeeper raised his head and looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but show a surprised look when he saw the dwarf Thea, and after coming back to his senses, he looked at the three-headed demonic beast at the door, and his face suddenly showed a respectful look, "Okay sir, how many days are you going to stay here?", Stern thought for a while and replied, "Let's stay for five days first."
The innkeeper lowered his head and counted for a while, then raised his head and said to Stern: "Sir, the room fee is 100 silver coins per day, and the Warcraft Rest House is 20 silver coins per day, a total of one gold coin and one hundred silver coins." After paying for the lodging and settling the little gray and them, Stern and Thea went straight back to their room to rest, and after seven days at sea, their minds were dizzy, and they needed a good rest to take a break.
On the second day of his arrival in Salt, Stern went to the boat shop to order a canvas and replaced the linen canvas hanging from the boat, and the whole ship looked much better than before.
After arriving in the Sauron Empire, the usefulness of the teak ship has been reached, and then it will not be used, Stern intends to list the teak ship for sale in the ship trading center, teak is the best shipbuilding material, this material is very rare in the Sauron Empire, the market transaction price of the same size pine ship is about 1000 gold coins, so Stern opened a price of 2000 gold coins and paid a commission of 200 gold coins to entrust the teak ship to the ship trading center agent sale.
The Sauron Empire is very far away from the Cabernet Forest located in the interior of the continent, so the magic beasts and magic crystals in the Sauron Empire are very scarce, and the transaction price of the same magic crystal in the Sauron Empire is two percent higher than the transaction price in the Bauhinia Empire, so Stern plans to go to a store in Saltt City that specializes in trading magic crystals to sell the magic crystals in his hand. It's just that after changing the canvas and completing the procedures for the sale of the boat, the sky has begun to get darker, and the sale of magic crystals will have to wait until tomorrow.
The night in Salte City is very lively, especially the tavern where mercenaries are often haunted, many Bauhinia Empire mercenaries who come to Salt City to do tasks will go to the tavern to drink, because there is a black wine made with the Sauron Empire's specialty Uti fruit, this Uti wine is mellow and delicious to drink, its reputation has spread throughout the Bauhinia Empire and the Lion Empire, and even the inland Canglan Empire is known.
Stern planned to use the huge space in the storage room to buy some Uti wine and sell it to the tavern there in Cloud City, so as to make a lot of money on the price, he took Xia to the famous Winsang Tavern in Salte City, found two places in the tavern and sat down and ordered two large glasses of Uti and a few side dishes to eat.
Whether it is the soul from the earth or the original owner of the body, they love to drink very much, Stern and Thea did not have a long time to stagger each other, each of the two large glasses drank like drinking water, Sia inherited the dwarven talent for drinking, and the two glasses of wine were still sober as usual, but Stern was a little unable to hold it, just as they were about to leave, the door of the tavern suddenly became lively, Stern and the paid and Xia stood up and walked out of the tavern slowly, they wanted to see what was going on outside.
