Chapter 321
Later, Muhammad also spoke to Solam of three things to be aware of in Port Kalim.
"First, never give alms to any beggars, many of whom are truly pitiful, but more thieves who are controlled by the gang. As soon as they found out about the rich, well-wishers immediately flocked to it, after a mess. You'll soon find yourself missing your money bag and valuables. ”
"Second, don't trust the credibility of those foot traders. And never choose to go outside the city to see the goods, because they usually have close dealings with bandits. ”
"Third, you must bring guards with you when you go out, of course you don't need this, but I still recommend that when you go out, take a few people with you, because you can never imagine what despicable means the people here will use against you."
When Solam heard these three, he immediately felt that this place was almost a Longtan tiger's den.
"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"
"Of course! You must know that there are at least two or three thousand outsiders who disappear inexplicably in Port Carlin every year! There are many good players among them, don't underestimate the indiscriminate methods of those gangsters, there are many people who have been tricked!. ”
This is the truth, don't look at the strength of these gangsters, but there are all kinds of indiscriminate tricks, and you really can't underestimate this kind of small tricks, such as what lime squints, laxatives in dishes, etc., which makes people unguardable.
That kid just used it just a little bit, if at that time, that kid didn't give Solam a knife, but suddenly gave Solam a handful of lime powder, and Soram would have been hit.
Any city has an ugly side, but at the same time it has a bright side.
After passing through a hellish slum, Solam and his family entered the market district, a gathering place for vendors of all kinds, and although not as opulent as the commercial district, it was quite prosperous.
The dense crowd and the variety of goods instantly attracted Solam's attention, weapons, food, tobacco from overseas, coffee, and most importantly, there was a public auction of slaves here!
Merchants tried to attract buyers in a variety of ways, using crossbows to shoot living slaves, making dancers wearing translucent tulle dance with giant snakes almost completely (naked) and only in key areas, or even simply letting the female slave come to the live broadcast.
In short, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that these businessmen can't show. There really is no limit to the trade market, everything can be sold.
This level of unbridled freedom is not to be seen even in Kanlus, another city of sin. It is known that in the northern part of the continent, Kanlus was also known for its slave trade.
But even so, Kanlus could not do such a lack of discipline, of course, maybe Kanlus was in the north, and if he really did this, those slaves might freeze to death before they could be sold.
At the same time, Port Carlin is also the place with the most complete variety of slaves in the world, any slave you can think of can be bought here, of course, it is impossible to buy those really good goods in the market area, if you want to buy some new and precious slaves, you have to find two major arenas.
There, you can buy elves from the island of Eternal Gathering, drow elves from underground cities, and if you want to be a bit of a singularity, you can buy orc slave girls or even giant slave girls.
Solam followed Muhammad through the bustling market district and came to the junction of the business district and the market district. There is the Modessac Merchant's Hall, which is also built in the standard Modessac Golden Dome style, with sculptures of the goddess Waujin and Ilmat carved all around the building, and even a small shrine to these two gods.
The hall covers a very large area, at least the size of three football fields, and in front of the hall there is a large commercial area with the stalls of the Modessac people, and behind the hall is a huge livestock shed for the care and feeding of their camels.
Generally all the Modessac people come to Port Carlin to do business and live here. Don't look at the Mordessac people because of the tribal system, they have not been able to twist into a rope, but in Port Carlin, they will still unite together to keep warm, here, the Mordessac people are extremely united, if you provoke one Mordessac here, you may attract the attack of all the Modesaks.
As mentioned earlier, the Mordessac people are also known for their bravery and good fighting, so no one in the vicinity of this commercial hall dares to fight the Mordessacks, not even those large guilds in the city, they will not let their people make trouble here.
Of course, this is also the reason why the Modssac people regularly give offerings to those large guilds, after all, they are also merchants after all, and they are not interested in the gangster business, so it is also cost-effective to spend a little money and avoid some trouble.
"Bearded! You're still alive! ”
"You kid made a lot of money this time, and you didn't encounter sand thieves on the road!"
"Muhammad, take me with you next time! If you can save a protection fee, you will make a lot of money. ”
"Okay, Mohammed, you really sent it this time."
Along the way, countless people greeted Muhammad, who had known for a long time that he was going to cross the desert with three hundred camels without paying the protection money. At that time, most people were not very optimistic about his adventure, after all, it was three hundred camels, how could those sand thieves not see it.
But it was very surprising that Muhammad actually arrived in Port Carlin intact. Muhammad undoubtedly did a remarkable deed, which in the tradition of the Modesaks must be blessed and praised, as courage is also an extraordinary quality of being a merchant.
The Modesac people liked this story very much, and made a lot of money with extraordinary courage, so for a time, Mohammed became the envy of all Modessac people.
Muhammad is happy now, he did make a lot of money this time, the money is still a small thing, the most happy thing for him is that he has also gained countless reputations, among the Modessacks, reputation is a very useful thing, all Modessac people like to do business with people with reputation, which also means that he has more connections, to do big business, how can he do it without connections?
"Haha, this time it's the gods' blessing, when I'm on the road, I've been sweating, I really can't play like this in the future, just came here like this, I almost scared half of my life."
Muhammad always attributed this to luck, and never mentioned that it was Solam who helped, not that he was ungrateful, but that Solam did not want to be in the limelight, and that there was nothing to brag about dealing with a group of robbers.
And Muhammad is also happy to see this situation, Solam, a powerful and good-tempered backstage, is a rare resource, if other people know about it, run over to the corner of the wall, wouldn't it be embarrassing? What's more, his business is just starting now, and he has more money than him, and if someone really wants to compete with him for Solam, he really doesn't have much confidence.
Solam followed Mohammed into the commercial hall in a low-key manner, where the front desk was similar to a normal hotel, but there were many price plates in the hall, where any Modessak could see the prices of the day in Port Carlin.
By the way, this business hall is not free, and there are two conditions for living in it, first, if you are a Modessac or an employee of a Modessac, and second, you have to pay money.
The price of accommodation here is very contrasting, the most expensive is of course the VIP level, this price is of course the best service, a single magnificent independent courtyard, food and drink, everything is available, and all are the best, and there is an unlimited supply of fresh water!
This is too luxurious, in the country of Kalinshan, there is nothing lacking, the only thing that is lacking is water, so the most valuable thing is clean fresh water! Some of the very good quality spring water here can even be compared to gold.
Of course, the price of these VIP services is also very violent, and it costs 60 gold coins for one day of accommodation! Don't be too expensive, this is cheap in Karinsan, the most famous djinn hotel in Karinshan, is to stay in an ordinary room for a day, at least 30 gold coins, not including other services! The Modessac Commercial Club is already very conscientious, after all, it is to entertain compatriots, and it is not good that it is too dark.
Today, Mohammed is also hemorrhaging, and he came directly to a highest-standard accommodation, and the front desk staff were stunned, and the Modsaks are not very generous to be honest, especially to themselves, they are not like the Kalinsan people, they like to show off their wealth, they like to bring all the money back to their hometown, and the more beautiful their hometown is, the more face-saving it is.
Outside, they have always been able to save money, don't look at the hall, there is VIP service, but there are not many Modessac people who really use it, most of them will choose some more affordable services.
For example, Muhammad, who used to sleep in a chase with his buddies, was bitten his teeth in order to entertain Solam, so he made up his mind to come to a VIP service, and in order to show his sincerity to Solam, he paid a month's money as soon as he handed it over.
What Mohammed is most proud of in this life is his own vision, dare to fight, dare to invest! Since he wants to catch Solam, he can't care about this little money, he believes that he can earn it back, and even more! After all, Soram is a spellcaster!
As long as he backs Solam, isn't the money earned back all at once?
Of course, in order to hide people's eyes, he also lived in the VIP room with Solam! This can be regarded as stained with Solam's light, if Mohammed himself, it is estimated that he will not be willing to live in such an expensive place for the rest of his life, a full 1800 gold coins! Muhammad was distressed to think about.
Soon, the waiter took Solam and Mohammed to the VIP room. As for his other subordinates, of course, they were honest Chase Shops, after all, they were not spellcasters like Solam.
"Hello, this is your room." The waiter took Solam and they to a large courtyard and pointed to a small three-story building, this courtyard also has a large garden, it is hard to imagine how much water must be wasted on this day in a desert area with such a beautiful garden.
"On the first floor is the living room and dining room, if you like to cook your own food, there is also a kitchen, if you need any ingredients, just tell us and we will deliver them immediately."
"The second floor is where your entourage lives, and there is also a bathroom where water can be supplied at all times."
"On the third floor is your master bedroom with a bathtub and unlimited hot and cold water available 24 hours a day.
