Unlike Byron's imagination of a large settlement surrounded by earthen walls and filled with nomadic tents, the Tulga in front of him is no worse than a western city like Suno.

Although the inside of the walls is earth, it is very strong. Coupled with a moat that draws water from a nearby river, from the outside, the city located on the edge of a steppe river is well defended and will not be easily captured.

The watchtowers on the walls were filled with archers, and in front of the gates were a whole group of guards, dressed in sturdy scale armor and armed with long-handled glaives. If you ride a steppe horse, they are excellent Vecchian lancers.

The inside of the city is much more beautiful than what you see outside. With white walls everywhere and a round-vaulted roof, it is both nomadic and very suitable for living in this environment.

The houses of the nobility were even more like towers, with spiral staircases cascading upwards and dividing the houses into five to seven floors, some of which were taller than the city walls and more complex than the bell tower of Dehrim.

For a while, Byron thought that he had arrived in the Turkic Khanate in Detective Direnjie, and the unique exotic style here seemed very interesting to Byron.

Tulga is located on the main road to Calradia in the East, and for nearly 100 years, almost all imported spices destined for Calradia passed through here.

In fact, the Salander Sultanate also had roads to connect with the East, but the desert trade was much more difficult than the steppe trade, and for some reason, the Salanders had also restricted their trade with the East for a hundred years.

In Tulga, camels and horses travel through the market, and traders from the south, north and west buy and sell their wares. When the season is suitable for commercial trade, the whole of Tulga is enveloped by the scent of cardamom, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, and other precious aristocratic condiments.

Byron led the procession through the city, and the merchants on both sides of the street stepped forward to hold up their wares and sell them to Byron with great hospitality.

Silks, spices, scimitars, swords, oxen, sheep and horses line the markets and the stalls lining the roads, and in some shops you can even see porcelain as a precious art traded in gold.

Kress is really in the city this time, and he wants to see everything, and he wants to touch everything. Occasionally, he would watch the businessmen's bulging wallets rub their fingers involuntarily, but Byron could always call her over when she was about to lose control.

Fatis wandered around a store selling weapons for a long time, and Byron followed him to see if he had any equipment that suited him. The fine kugits of those kugits are especially suitable for immediate combat, and it takes at least a year to make one. The scimitars were also made of steel in Salander, and the shopkeeper hung them on the wall along with the steel shield and helmet, also from Salander, raising the tone of the entire shop to a higher level.

However, Byron covered his nose when he passed by the place where cattle, sheep and horses were sold, and the smell of manure and cattle and sheep was so strong that even Fatis, who had always been fond of horses, could not stand it.

Unfortunately, these weapons were too expensive to sell, and Fatis was not easy to use, and after knowing that there were no good swords and lances here, Fatis left with great regret. Before leaving, however, he accepted the shopkeeper's suggestion, and with the money that Byron had given him, he bought a round shield made of steel, full of patterns, beautiful and strong.

Alleyne still maintained his pride, as if nothing in the city could get into his eyes.

Still, Byron saw him discussing with a merchant the price of a cloak, which was not a very good material, but it was so good that Alleyne could not walk when he saw it.

Previously, Byron said that he could hang out today, so not only a few heroes, but also those soldiers who already had a lot of savings, began to look around the city for something to buy. Unlike in Dehrim, exotic goods are everywhere, whether you buy them for your own use, give them away, or resell them for a profit.

Even Jamila, who had planned to go directly to the spice market to buy spices, was attracted by a bunch of small jewelry with a very special style.

"I forgot about business, I can't hold it even though I'm a hero."

At a food store owned by a local and a foreign businessman, Byron sighed as he counted silver coins from his wallet. In addition to the video, he also plans to go to all the other stores in town that are large enough to watch it and enjoy the feeling of being rich and willful, and buying whatever he wants.

He also planned to bring some souvenirs back to Bandak, but he couldn't think of what to buy for a while.

He also began to contact the slave traders to see what they were selling.

If it were cheap, Byron wouldn't mind "emancipating" a few people and then getting a bunch of cheap laborers. Perhaps, you will be able to find the right soldiers.

In this way, Byron and his party walked around the city of Tulga for a whole day, and there was even a little accident during the process.

One of his hired riders and a wealthy man in the city got into a fight over something and nearly got into a fight.

All of a sudden, the other peony mercenaries who were also busy purchasing around also surrounded them, and seven or eight people, all scolding and pressing the hilt of their swords, almost causing a fight. Fortunately, Byron got it in time, stuffed a few silver coins into the rich man, let the mercenaries disperse, and then talked politely for a while, and coaxed the other party away. Otherwise, if this trouble continues, all the patrols in the city will have to come over for a while, and it is good to lose the silver, but the reputation will be ruined.

Byron reprimanded the soldiers, and told them very seriously not to make a fuss about such a trivial matter, which would damage the reputation of the team, or else he would throw them on the Kugit steppe and leave them to fend for themselves.

But Byron also bought the jewel for the soldier and gave it to the hired rider, who intended to give it to him.

Byron has always acquiesced to the problem of soldiers prostituting, but he also told those soldiers to be careful, not to make people's bellies bigger, and they can't raise children.

In this regard, Bandak is a case in point. Until now, he would send a sum of money to Djerkhara every month to his fellow countrymen, so that the dusty woman could have the ability to raise his children.

As for the question of illegitimate children, there is no one in Calradia who does not have a headache from nobles to commoners...

So after this incident, the discipline of the team was better than before, the soldiers' trust in Byron was further improved, and Byron's orders were more effective.

After a day of shopping in Tulgar, Byron got down to business.

He sent Cress to the city with some change, while he took the rest of his heroes to the spice market in Tulga.
