Of course, Soram could see Isabella's careful thoughts, but he didn't get angry, he still said that as long as he was a human being, he would think about himself, which was human nature.

And Isabella's proposal is also a good idea, as Askatla, as a famous international metropolis on the mainland, is much more prosperous than Silvermoon City in the Northlands. It's not much better than Port Carlin.

Speaking of Askatra, we have to mention Am. Because, Askatra is the capital of Amm.

Amm was a mercantile nation, and here it was both the starting point and the end point of the caravans, from which the fleets departed to the ports of another continent and returned full of gold and many strange things. Many of the landlocked countries in the central continent had trade routes that led to this country, and these trade routes began and ended in Azkatra.

Am's full name is the United Kingdom of Am. The government of this country is strange, they are a combination of a group of traditional aristocratic domains and many free cities. There are no kings in this country, but there are nobles. There are nobles but they are not in power, at least on the surface, but the parliament rules the country.

The issuance of decrees, taxation, the organization of the army, and the appointment of officials were all controlled by the parliament.

In this country, the main body of the state is in the hands of the new aristocracy based on commerce, but this is only the appearance, as is true in the part of the land west of Amm near the sea, but in those territories deep inland, it is traditional feudal politics.

The new aristocracy wanted to emancipate the people and let all the people go to work in their workshops and industries, while the traditional aristocracy wanted the people to stay in their own land and farm for themselves.

This is still a small part of the contradictions between them, and they also have diametrically opposed views on the future policy of the country. For example, the emerging aristocracy hoped that the country would encourage the development of the sea, vigorously develop the navy, and become a maritime hegemonic country.

The old aristocracy was different, he hoped that Amm would vigorously develop the inland areas, use Am's strong economic power to encroach on the surrounding land, and even defeat the Tesser Kingdom, which had always coveted Am, by force, to become the first power on the mainland.

Both sides had their own reasons, and Am's prosperity was due to maritime trade and numerous overseas colonies, and it was not surprising that the new aristocracy would want to further strengthen this advantage.

As humanity recovered, the benefits of maritime trade became more and more important, and as one of the first countries to establish colonies overseas, Amm certainly wanted to continue this advantage.

But the old aristocracy's idea can't be wrong, Am's surrounding environment is actually very good, the temperature is suitable, the land is fertile, there is a large area of developable land, and more importantly, in addition to Tesser, Am's surroundings are all some weak aristocratic territories, and it is easy to expand the territory.

However, due to the struggle between the two aristocratic groups, after so many years, both the naval plan and the land development plan have come to a standstill. In fact, if it weren't for the full mediation of the Parliament, Amm would have had a civil war many years ago.

In Am, although the parliament is the center of power in the country, it is the anonymous organization in the parliament that really determines the fate of the country, and they are called the "six-member jury".

And who the "six-member jury" is, even the people in the parliament do not know, they have a rather mysterious selection system, and no one knows how these councils are formed.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Soram, who is more interested in their customs. In Am, the diversity of relationships has led to the opposition between two aristocratic groups, which has also created a colorful cultural practice in the region.

At Am, people tolerate people from all over the world with great tolerance because they are their potential customers.

As the capital of Am, Astkara is even more so.

Unlike Port Carlin, although it has architectural styles from all over the world, the main culture is still Kalinshan's own culture. In Ascatla, you can really see a wide variety of cultures, and here you can even see all the races of the world.

You won't see an elf swaggering down the streets in Kalinsan, but in Ascatra you can see it everywhere. Even in Azcatra you can see some of the traditional evil races.

For example, orcs, and then minotaurs. According to Ascatla's laws, no one can convict a person as long as he has not committed a crime, and discrimination and insult are prohibited.

The atmosphere is quite tolerant, because the city of Ascatra has implemented the words "money is everything" from beginning to end.

As long as one has enough money. Then he can receive respect, and they don't care who you are or what race you are. Everything can be measured in terms of money here, and as long as you have money, you can get the status of nobility and enter and exit high society.

The people here are keen to hold all kinds of lavish banquets, and the organizers use this as a means to show their deep pockets.

Of course, having a banquet is not the only way to show off your wealth. Giving expensive gifts, rewarding servants, whether the jewels are expensive or not, whether or not you live in the noble district of the city, etc., can all be used to show one's wealth and thus improve and consolidate one's social status.

It can be said that the city is very similar to New York, the financial capital of the planet, as long as you have enough money to buy everything. It can be said that it is quite capitalist.

Thinking about it this way, Soram thinks that going to Ascatra is also quite good. At this time, Isabella also recovered from the embarrassment just now, and when she saw Solam's interested look, she decided to add another fire.

"Really, my lord, I think we can get to Astkara by sea, don't you have 13 Wiggins berserkers? They're all good at sea, and by the way, Wahid, they've been at sea before, and with them we don't have to be afraid of pirates at all. ”

"Wiggins Berserker? By the way, what happened to those Wiggins berserkers now? ”

If it weren't for Isabella's talk of the Wiggins at this time, Solam would have almost forgotten about them. Soram remembered the last time he saw them, the group looked depressed, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked about Trismu.

Soram remembers that it was arranged by Tresim.

"It's much better now, I've helped them find a pastor, and after a few days of recuperation, they're almost recovered." Because those Wiggins berserkers have signed a contract of enslavement, they don't dare to blow up the stab at all, and they are all very honest.

Solam asked them to listen to Trismu's arrangement, and they honestly obeyed Trisim's arrangement, and these days they have all been recuperating in the hotel, and after treatment, and good food and drink, one by one they are alive and well.

"Oh, that's good." If it weren't for Isabella talking about it, Soram really didn't know how to arrange these people, and now he gave Soram a good idea, anyway, these people are pirates, so there should be no resistance to being sailors.

Soram thought about it again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with going to Askatra, as for Isabella's desire to go home, Soram also understood it, anyway, Soram was also very curious about the countries of the Glorious Plains, and when the time came, Soram would follow him, anyway, by the way.

His parents also have a good friend in the Holy City of Miranda in the Shining Plains, the same paladin who sent Sauram back to Avalon! Sokoya Tiños. However, Solam's desire to see him was not strong, so he never thought about going up before.

Through Isabella's incident this time, it really made Soram think of this person. No matter what, he is also an elder, and he has taken great pains to send Solam to Avalon, and he will also visit it.

It is estimated that he also knows that Soram has come out of Avalon, and Mavis seems to have contacted him before, and should have told him the news of Solam's coming out. And Sokoya was in Miranda, which was also told by Mavis to Solam.

"Alright, let's go to Askatra!" So Solam happily decided where they would go next. "Next, we're going to buy a ship, by the way, does the Hammer Guild build ships? Why don't you just buy it from them? ”

Since you have decided to take the sea route, you must have a boat. It's not that Solam can't take other people's merchant ships, but merchant ships are of course for business, so the limited space on the ship is stuffed with goods by those shipowners, and the environment is naturally not much better.

In this world, many merchant ships are horribly unhygienic, full of rats and cockroaches, and the cabins are even more crowded, except for the captain who has a small lounge, and the sailors have to be crammed into a small cabin. The black-hearted owners even let the crew sleep in the hold.

Although Solam is not exquisite, he can't be so unparticular, so a boat of his own is a must, so he can make himself feel better, why should he be wronged? It's not like he's out of money.

"That...... The Hammer Guild doesn't build ships, they are not good at this, and if they want to buy a ship, they can only find people from the three major chambers of commerce. Hearing that Solam was looking for the Hammer Guild to buy a ship, Diaedin raised his hand and said.

Isn't it a joke to ask the dwarves to build ships? The dwarf race is a standard landlubber race, and with their short arms and legs, how do they swim? Coupled with the fact that those dwarves like to wear heavy armor wherever they go, can that thing float?

Basically, throwing a dwarf into the water is like throwing an iron stone into the water, only to make a splash and then sink straight to the bottom......

If you want them to build a ship, even if they build it, will you dare to sit down? As a result, the dwarves have never been very interested in shipbuilding.

"In this way, then the three major chambers of commerce will buy it! Money is not an issue. ”

"And what are your specific requirements?"

"Request...... In this way, the ship must be large, not only the hull must be large, but also the space, and by the way, it must be strong, preferably a magic ship! Of course, it's better to decorate it better, well, that's it, you go and see. ”

"Yes."
