Chapter 315: Sand Pirates (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)

Almost all the rulers envy the ruling class of Kalinsan, because they have a people who never rebel, which is simply cool. Of course, this is only the opinion of the ruling class.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Kalinshan people are not a good thing, and the first impression that ordinary people have when they hear the Kalinshan people is that profiteers, thieves, robbers, gangsters, slaves, are some very bad impressions anyway.

In the eyes of many people, there are no good people in this place.

In fact, this is also the case, which is why the Mordesak people do not like to compare themselves with the Kalinsan, because the reputation of the Karinsan is so bad.

After Soram expressed his understanding, Muhammad also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, someone who can kill a mage is definitely not easy to mess with, and if Soram is angry just now, it is definitely not a good thing for them.

"By the way, where are you going next?" This will change Muhammad's name for Solam, after all, powerful people can be respected everywhere, although Muhammad does not know what Solam's strength is, but looking at his amount of food, he knows that he is not ordinary.

It's really a simple view, but it's not unreasonable.

"What's next? I don't know, but I want to send a message to my family first to report that I am safe, and then what will happen after that, I don't plan for the time being. ”

Now that he has come out, Soram plans to walk around first, anyway, he has been in the Silver Moon Kingdom for a long time, and it is time to take a walk around, but it is necessary to send a message to Mavis first, and I don't know what Aunt Mei is in a hurry now.

"Well, you can come with us to Port Carlin, where you might be able to call on some caravans or teach them to help you get some news."

As soon as he heard that Soram didn't have too many plans next, Muhammad immediately took the opportunity to propose to go with them, in fact, even if he didn't mention it, Soram also planned to go with them, after all, in this vast desert, without them to lead the way, it would be difficult for Soram to go out alone.

But Muhammad wasn't just well-intentioned, he had a little bit of his own thoughts. As a merchant, in the Kalin Desert, they are most afraid of the insatiable sand bandits.

In Kalinshan, sand pirates have always been the biggest headache for thousands of years, even in the most powerful era of the Kalinshan Empire, there is no way to clean up these tenacious and fierce sand pirates!

There are only two kinds of people who are called sand thieves in Karinshan, one is those who have fallen into the grass, and there are many such people in any era, after all, Karlinshan is also a commercial country, and commerce is very prosperous.

So there are a lot of caravans, and it's not surprising that some people take risks, after all, what is faster than robbing money by killing people and setting fire to the gold belt? However, these people are minor problems, and although they are cunning, they are not impossible to deal with.

The real headache is the sand pirates who claim to be from Turin! The name "Turines" is actually just what the sand thieves call themselves, and to outsiders, their race is called the sand pirates!

Because these people have been doing this since the time of the elemental djinn! They are silent, fierce, resilient! And he is not afraid of death! What's even more terrifying is that they never give in!

In Kalinshan, I don't know how many rulers wanted to encircle or appease them, but they didn't want them to cause trouble, but they all failed.

It's not that no one wants to kill them all, but these Turines are very tenacious, no matter what kind of slaughter and killing can't make them disappear or give in, maybe they will disappear for a while because of the massacre, but after a while, they come out in groups again.

They have always lived tenaciously in this desert, they will not change, they are sand pirates, the only thing they will do is also sand pirates, in their opinion, it is natural to be sand pirates.

In the tradition of the people of Turino, boys begin to undergo militarized training as soon as they reach the age of 5, and until the age of 15, they become qualified sand pirates, and in their opinion, it is their destiny and tradition to become a sand pirate!

The people of Turine are very xenophobic, they rarely speak to people outside of their own race, and in general, their language is a scimitar in their hands! So there is very little communication with them from the outside world, and in their opinion, people of all other nationalities are the objects of their robbery, since this is the case, there is no need to communicate, anyway, you just need to recognize the scimitar.

Few people know about the customs or beliefs of the people of Turin, except that they do not believe in the churches that are popular on the mainland, and perhaps they still believe in elemental djinn.

Because according to legend, the Turineites were originally a race of servants created for themselves by the elemental djinns.

Even more interestingly, very few people saw the women and children of the Turinese people, no one knew where these fellows had set up their homes, and no one had ever visited their camp, because these fellows did not keep any prisoners, and if they did rob a caravan, they would usually kill everyone.

In fact, there is a saying in Karlinshan that it is up to them to pay a ransom if they want to know which sand pirates are Turine. Because of the general sand robbery, they will leave some wealthy people as hostages, and then make that family pay a ransom.

But the people of Turin never kidnap them, because they usually kill them all! It is said that they believed that the captives were not worth the waste of precious food and water.

Of course, this is not to say that the people of Turine are all crazy people who can only kill, they have their own way of survival, they will only rob caravans that do not pay protection money. They are also flexible, and the people of Turine will control some gangsters as their white gloves in many cities on the edge of the desert.

As long as the caravans paid protection money to these gangs, they would not touch them, and they would help the caravans when necessary, lest the caravans be wiped out in the desert, which would be very bad for their reputation.

At this point, the people of Turine have always had a good reputation, as long as you pay the protection money, you can walk in the desert safely, and you can be sure that no one will harass you.

However, this protection fee is very expensive, generally only some large chambers of commerce will do this, as for those small chambers of commerce, most of them will not pay protection fees, after all, their costs are small, they earn less, and there is nothing to make after paying protection fees.

And the Turin sand pirates in those border cities will not force others to pay protection money, it is all voluntary! As for the safety of these small caravans, it is completely up to the sky.

If you're lucky enough not to run into a sand pirate, you've made a fortune, but if you do, you're sorry, everyone has to die! However, the desert is so big, even sand pirates can't monitor all the caravans, so the success rate of this kind of thing is generally very high.

Except for those caravans that were targeted as soon as they set off, the mortality rate of other small caravans was about one-tenth, so many small caravans were willing to gamble, after all, if they succeeded, they would make a lot of money.

And the sand thieves all turn a blind eye to these small caravans, and generally do not target them, after all, this kind of small caravans are only a dozen camels, and it is not very interesting to rob them or not. At most, sometimes when you are bored, you can find this kind of caravan to practice your hands, which can be regarded as training.

But those larger caravans, if they don't pay protection money, they won't agree, after all, that represents a huge wealth.

Unfortunately, the bearded Mohammed is the kind of person who didn't pay protection money. Don't look at this old boy now has 300 camels, but this guy is really self-made, and he really hasn't paid protection money when he ran a business before.

He also knew that the size of his current caravan was not large, but it was definitely not small. But he had just purchased three hundred camels, more than two hundred of which he had taken from a retired fellow man.

When these camels were bought, it was because the previous owner was old and quit, and they were of the same clan, so the price of each camel was not expensive, but more than 200 camels were bought together, and it also cost him many years of savings.

In fact, as soon as he bought it, he regretted it, and all his capital was invested, what money did he use to pay for protection? And after buying camels and buying them, he doesn't have much money, and if he pays the protection money, then even if he reaches Port Carlin safely, then he will have to go bankrupt.

So, Muhammad was so upset that he decided to gamble big, just go straight into the desert and not pay the protection fee, if he won the bet, then he would make a lot of money, not only to transfer back all the money to buy camels, but also to make a small profit, and then pay the protection fee.

Every Modesac wants to be a big businessman, and he is no exception! That's why he can't help but buy so many camels at once, as long as he can succeed this time, then next, his career can enter a path of rapid development.

After all, he now has 300 camels, and he can make more money by running a trade route than he used to make more than twenty or thirty camels running a dozen times before!

It was also the blessing of Waujin (the Modsaks generally believed in the goddess of wealth or Ilmat, the god of suffering) that really made Muhammad mixed up along the way, and he was safe and sound along the way.

But the closer he got to his destination, the more uncertain he became, especially after coming to this ancient ruin.

Legend has it that a long time ago, the Karlin Desert was a rare fertile place, so there were many cities here, but due to the war between the wind djinn and the fire djinn, it became the largest desert in the south of Faerun.

Those cities were also deserted by the invasion of the desert, and in the current Karlin Desert, there are not a thousand but eight hundred such ruins, and some of the ruins still have some underground wells, so these ruins will generally become a rest stop for passing caravans, just like the oasis.

The ruins they are now are called Muxim, and this ruins have not appeared for a long time, which is also normal in the desert, in the desert, because of the wind and sand, from time to time there are ruins buried in the desert, and some ruins will suddenly appear.

This ruin suddenly reappeared, which Muhammad had accidentally discovered three years ago during a running business, and most importantly, deep in the ruin, there was still a well that was still bubbling.

Moreover, this relic has deviated from the trade routes, and not many people know about it, which is why Muhammad would rest here. He had thought that no one would find this ruin.

But when he came here, Muhammad felt a throbbing in his heart, and his heart became more and more bottomless. Since it seems that Solam is a good hand now, it can also be an extra guarantee for him to join, right?

Solam didn't think much about it, since others were officially invited, he didn't bother to be hypocritical, so he agreed.
