Chapter 13: The Journey
Barr took out 30,000 gold coins from his backpack and handed them over. Nock took it and looked at it, and a hint of playfulness instantly leaked from his face.
"Brother Barr, what are you?"
"It's so troublesome for the eldest brother, the younger brother really can't help it, this is a little bit of my heart. But can my eldest brother give me a little bit of the nearby sea, my land is too barren, I'm afraid there will be no harvest, and I can catch some fish as a food reserve when the time comes. Buck replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Nock was overjoyed, 10,000 gold coins is a lot, this kid is very good.
The navigation skills of the orcs are very backward, and the degree of exploitation of the sea area is very low. In the previous life, until the later stages of the game, the Orc Empire's use of the sea was limited to maritime trade and seafood fishing, they cared more about the land, and most of the civilians also lived a life of male farmers and female farmers. Therefore, the sea area is rarely cared for, and it is naturally worthless.
"Since my brother is so sincere, then my brother and I can't be petty, so be it."
Seeing Baal so upright, Nock waved his hand, and all the seas within fifty kilometers of the territory's coastline belonged to Baal. After all, in Nock's view, the sea area belongs to the state, and the money is his own, and no one wants it anyway, and he doesn't give it to anyone.
After the completion of the settlement process, the large area of land officially became Barr's private property.
When the deal was completed, both of them were satisfied and happy.
Barr didn't stay long, and took his leave.
This transaction cost Baal 80,000 gold coins, but it was worth the money, not to mention the territory, and the sea area alone made a lot of money. After more than a year of the awakening of the Ancient Red Dragon, the northernmost passage connecting the Eastern and Western Continents of the Red Earth Continent was occupied by the Ancient Red Dragon, and the land trade between the two continents was almost directly cut off. Under the threat of the Ancient Red Dragon and the dragonized monsters infected by the breath of the Red Dragon, the risk of overland trade is extremely high.
At the same time, maritime trade also arose, and cities with ports naturally made a lot of money, and there were natural deep-water ports in the territory that Barr bought, and after the rise of shipping, this was a hen that laid golden eggs. Not to mention the abundance of mineral resources at the bottom of the sea, which is a huge asset when offshore ore mining technology is developed in the territory.
Of course, Barr is interested in this land for more than just two reasons. The crystal vein by the sea was the real reason why he chose this place.
Raging City North Street.
Barr managed to find Captain Moss, who was shopping for goods in the crowd.
After buying the land, Baal planned to leave Fury City, the territory that Baal bought was more than 5,000 kilometers away from Fury City, and it would take too long to walk, not to mention that there were too many dangers on the way, so Baal planned to go directly to Marina City through the teleportation array.
Marina City is the closest city with a teleportation array to his territory, because he is relatively unfamiliar with this city, Baal also went to the grocery store to buy a regional map of Marina City, after all, in his previous life, Baal played the human race, and there are only a few famous cities that are more familiar with the orc empire.
Before leaving, he naturally had to say goodbye to Uncle Moss, and by the way, he had to ask Moss to inform Uncle Meng, after all, if he disappeared for no reason, Uncle Meng would really die in a hurry.
"Uncle Moss, Uncle Moss!" Barr shouted from afar
Moss looked up, looking around, and finally spotted Baal in the crowd.
"Little Barr, where have you been going to play these days, why did you come to me so early, and we won't leave until the morning after tomorrow."
Moss was a little surprised to see that Barr had come so early, after all, most young people were very playful, and under normal circumstances, they would not come back until the end. It's not going to be trouble.
There were so many people in the market that Barr managed to squeeze through the crowd.
"Uncle Moss, I'm here to tell you that I'm not going back. By the way, please help me tell Uncle Mondstadt. ”
"What, if you don't go back, why don't you go back?" Moss asked with some concern, what is this kid crazy again.
Seeing Uncle Moss's worried look, Barr immediately replied, "I found my uncle in Fury City, and he asked me to manage a territory in the south for him, and I am going to take office tomorrow." ”
In order not to irritate Uncle Moss, Barr still made up a suitable reason. If he told him that he had bought a piece of land and was about to become a lord, I am afraid that Uncle Moss would think that he was crazy. After all, he was a village boy yesterday, and today he suddenly became a lord, which is really difficult to accept. But if you put DeWitt on the bright side, it will be much more logical.
"Your uncle, who is your uncle?" Moss's mind was a little confused now, where was this, how could there be an uncle, who had never heard of Barr and other relatives.
"Devitt Thunder's wrath." Barr replied in earnest.
"Ah, what Thunder Fury?"
For a while, Moss didn't reflect it.
"It's our patriarch, the wrath of DeWitt Thunder, the Archon of Raging City." Barr looked at Uncle Moss with a puzzled expression, how could Uncle Moss not even know his own patriarch.
"What?"
Moss's tone instantly rose to a higher level, with a look of disbelief.
"Barr, you don't have a fever, do you?" After speaking, he touched Barr's forehead seriously.
After explaining to Uncle Moss for more than half an hour and showing his status as an honorary baron, Moss reluctantly accepted this fact.
After Baal left, Moss stood in a daze, never thinking that the little kid who was mining in the mine a few days ago would become a baron after two days in Fury City, thinking about it, he thought he was dreaming.
Thinking of Barr's words before leaving, Moss felt very relieved, but he watched the little cub grow up, and that was the most important thing, isn't it, "Work hard, Barr." ”
The teleportation array is located in the west of the city, next to the garrison of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Empire.
Normally, it is guarded by a special person, and the teleportation array is expensive, mainly used for the transfer of personnel, materials and intelligence during the war. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people who want to use it need to be approved by the City Lord's Mansion, but as an honorary baron of the Empire, of course, Baal doesn't need to be so troublesome, and of course the money that should be spent is not less.
After paying the teleportation fee of 1,500 gold, Baal stood on the teleportation array, and with a flash of light, Baal's figure disappeared from it.
Marina City to the west.
The light flashed, and Baal appeared above the teleportation array.
Looking up at the surroundings, the architecture here is distinctive. Compared with the solemnity and majesty of the northern architecture, it is more delicate and graceful. The wind blowing from the west with the characteristic smell of the sea is a shock to the spirit, and as a minotaur native of an inland city, it is a new experience for Barr.
Lift your feet and walk down from the teleportation array.
The tall leonin guard next to him glanced over the side, and then didn't pay attention. After all, although the cost of the teleportation array is very high, there are still quite a few nobles who teleport to Marina City in a day, so there is nothing to make a fuss about. Of course, if it's a human being, you still have to check carefully, the relationship between the two races has been a little tense recently, but there are many disguised spies in the name of business, spying around in the orc empire.
Taking out the map from his backpack, Barr looked at it for a moment, and now he was in the northwest corner of Marina City. I looked at the buildings around me, and on the left was the Viscount of Usok's palace, and on the right was a park. Scanned the map and found his exact location.
"Hey, the beast cart ahead, wait a minute."
Seeing an empty beast cart passing by next to him, Barr hurriedly stopped the car. The coachman, a middle-aged werewolf man, heard someone shouting to him behind him, and immediately stopped the car and turned his head to look behind him. Seeing that Barr was walking towards him, the coachman understood that this was the business of business.
"Sir, do you want to take a car?" The middle-aged werewolf asked.
Baal then responded, and after paying the fare, the beast cart drove non-stop towards the exchange.
But Barr, who was sitting in the carriage, had been thinking about one thing, since he could directly let the coachman pull him to his destination, what was the use of the map in his hand, well, it was indeed a problem.
