Chapter 70: Salted Fish (I)
The city of Vadan to the north of Hosdi, adjacent to the Nashar basin, which is comparable to the inland sea, is a special "port city".
The River Styx is more terrible than poison to the Herus, after all, it melts when it is touched. So there was no need for any supervision, most of the people who tried to take advantage of the non-fishing season would not be able to escape the end of the bones, and the Hipsters did not bother to care about the fish that slipped through the net - they felt that capable privateers deserved this, and there was no reason to interfere, and Styx was not a Hipsters.
So even in the non-fishing season, no boat dares to run rampant in the Nashar basin, after all, there is only one ship as large as the Nagfar in the whole of Heru.
It is said that there were many of them, but they were all destroyed when Nioudra appeared.
Therefore, for those who do not have the ability to fly continuously, how to cross the poisonous River Styx becomes a problem.
Seeing a business opportunity, the clever Vadan set up flying posts on both sides of the Nashar Valley, transporting travelers with huge winged blood-beaked ravens for exorbitant fees. As a result, the city of Vadan is one of the few cities in Heru with a very developed commodity economy, where there are many merchants, a large amount of money is hoarded, the entertainment industry and service industry are prosperous, and the material standard of living is several levels higher than that of Hosdi.
At the same time, it is also a rare place of "order" in Heru.
Unlike the simple and brutal order of Hosty, life here is outrageously peaceful.
There were many rude mercenaries who came for money, but they were forked out by the guards because they spit on the ground, and they were tied up and thrown into the River Styx by the blood-beaked ravens with strong resistance, and their bones were gone.
After all, this is a "port" city.
The city lord himself is also one of the heads of several large chambers of commerce, and attaches great importance to the maintenance of order in the city - after all, rich people are desperate for their lives, and the richer they are, the more they cherish them, and no one wants to lose their lives before their wealth is spent.
Sherlock is one of the outstanding merchants in the city, although his strength is average, and his wealth is not as good as those super chambers of commerce, but he is enough to make ordinary people blush.
Many people were jealous of his wealth, but due to the powerful swordsmanship of his servant Celio, he could only swallow this envy back into his stomach, scolding in his heart and being very respectful on the surface.
Speaking of the faithful servant of Silio, it is an old story. He's one of the best shepherds the Sherlock family has ever had to do - they've called adventures a trade since Sherlock's mercenary great-great-great-grandfather, Tyrone, until they actually got into business.
About five or six hundred years ago, when the previous era "Sea Vine" had just ended, and the new era "Mist" began, the mercenary Tyrone was desperate to do the business of fishing for souls.
The Heru people all know that the souls that can survive the washing of the River Styx are the elite of the outsiders, and their own strength and knowledge in their heads are valuable treasures, so every year those who want to board the Nagfar are squeezed their heads.
The helmsman of the Nagfar, Mi Chaoren, took a fancy to this and firmly controlled the ship.
The souls they salvage will be reshaped into bodies, then sold in the form of auctions, and finally half of the total proceeds will be divided equally among each family who board the ship.
As for the quality of the soul and the special talents it has found, it all depends on luck. Because most of the souls were confused and unsober when they first came on board, and the Chao people branded them, this kind of auction was quite gambling.
In this regard, the merchants of Wadan City have already made calculations, and the Chao people are very knowledgeable about the market, and they are very likely to have secretly investigated the transaction price of each ticket, so the auction reserve price given each time is up and down depending on the ticket price - the better the ticket sells, the more money these people have, and the reserve price will naturally be higher, and vice versa, otherwise it will cause a failed auction.
In this way, the hipsters are not as "full of muscles" as they appear.
This has led to a long-standing theorem: even if you don't do anything on board, the money you get in the end can offset the cost of the ticket, not to mention that many people get their tickets through gray means and don't spend any money at all.
In addition to these naked monetary gains, you can also meet and talk with the bigwigs of other families on the ship, which is enough to pay back the ticket price.
So the fishing season, which occurs once every 100 years, is more like a salon of Heru's upper class.
But after all, this is only a once-in-a-century event, and there are not many tickets released by the Michao people, so there are even fewer Heru people who can get the soul of an "outsider".
So he gambled with his own life and privately carried out thousands of times more dangerous than the "tiger's mouth" The "Twilight Chronicles" You are watching now Chapter 70 Salted Fish (I) is only half a chapter, to see the full version, please Baidu search: (Ice + Thunder + Chinese + Text) After entering, search again: Twilight Chronicles
