Chapter 115: Orlan

The northern frontier of the Violet Kingdom begins in the Lowen Hills in the west, flows eastward along the Lawrence River through the flat Golantian Plains, and finally empties into the western seas of the St. Flen Sea in the presence of Hankstown and White Harbor. Orlan is located in the middle of the Lawrence River, and the merchants of the kingdom can use Orlan as a transit point to travel freely along the river between the royal capital and overseas markets, or they can take the official road through the West Golantian Plain to Andolem and the Silver Sparrow.

In other words, if the royal capital Perades is the political center of Violet and the holy city of Hurengue is the religious center of Violet, then it is not an exaggeration to say that Orlan is the economic center of Violet, because it is true.

It was evening when Finn's party arrived in Orran, and after the night guards let them into the city, the young men soon found an inn in the city.

After a night's rest, Orlan City comes alive at dawn, with the chatter of citizens and friends and family, the street performances of some entertainers stand out, and the street outside the hotel window passes by a few vendors who drive to the market.

The first time Lilith came to this big city in the true sense of the word, she leaned on the window of the hotel room and looked out of the window for a while, and then showed great interest in these new things, even if the expression on her face still did not make people see obvious joy and sorrow, but it was very rare to reach out and pull Finn's sleeve during breakfast, and took the initiative to let Finn take her to take her to this interesting place.

The black-haired warlock girl was usually reticent, but Finn only discovered today that she became very stubborn once she really decided what she wanted to do. Her calm and unintentional alternative coquettish way made the young paladin really embarrassed to refuse, but thinking that his team also needed to rest in Orran City, Fein decided to agree to Lilith's request, let Arya and Camusa stay at the inn to take care of their luggage, and himself and Leah took this rare opportunity to take Lilith to visit this rich city in the north of the kingdom.

By keeping Arya and Camusa together, Finn can keep Arya under constant surveillance to prevent the Dark Elf from secretly doing something bad for the team. Arya has become calmer than before since untying her heart knot in the nightmare, and the origin of Camussa is still unknown, and neither Finn nor Arya is completely reassured of her, so it doesn't seem like a bad idea to let Arya continue to spy on Camussa like she did in the Dagger Jungle, and the elf girl herself has no problem with this method anyway.

As for why you should bring Leah with you when you take Lilith to visit the city?

"Oh, that's just my hometown. Orlan has been here enough, but has the Xi Houmu on the road complained enough? At breakfast, Leah took a sip of milk, turned her head to bite into the bread, and explained to the rest of the room as she chewed her food.

So, after learning that Leah was actually a local, Finn thought about it for a while and decided to let Leah act as a guide to take him and Lilith to the city for a good walk. In doing so, he could save himself from Leah's endless "100,000 Whys" in a short period of time, and secondly, he could also let Leah, a native of the aborigines, introduce Lilith to Orlan's famous attractions, so that the Warlock Maiden's rare little wish could be satisfied to the greatest extent.

In this way, after breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor of the inn, Finn, Leah, and Lilith said a temporary goodbye to Arya and Camussa who had stayed at the inn, and then left the inn, and led the way to a market called "Wind and Pearls".

The downtown area of Orlan runs through the river and is clustered on both sides of the middle reaches of the Lawrence River, and the bazaar called "Wind and Pearls" is located on the north bank of the river, which is accessed from the southern part of the city by an arch bridge that connects the two sides of the river. According to Leah, the name "Wind and Pearls" first came from the inspiration of the merchants, because the large merchant groups at that time mainly came from the direction of White Harbor, and the wealthy merchants took luxurious merchant ships, spread the sails on the deck, and let the ships follow the sea breeze blowing from the St. Furan Sea to the land, and sail up the Lawrence River, bringing precious jewelry goods to Orlan, so it gave such a rather romantic name to the first bazaar originally established in the city of Orland.

Vendors' stalls can be seen everywhere in the bazaar, but these stalls are not cluttered by the city guards, but are neatly displayed on both sides of the road in each planning area, so that shoppers can easily browse the goods they want and then stop and bargain with the vendors.

The vendors' stalls were full of all sorts of things, but Leah told Finn and Lilith that they were only for the common people, and then took the young man and the girl on two detours to another part of the market.

The stalls in the new area are no longer in the open air, but in large and small shops. When he arrived at the market with Leah, Finn observed the customers in the vicinity, and soon found that the people who came to these shops were markedly different from ordinary citizens, and that most of them were the children of wealthy families or the minor nobles who had traveled there from outside the country, and in addition to this, as he passed by the doors of several shops, he noticed that the goods sold in these shops were no longer the grain, vegetables, fruits, and fabrics that he had seen before, but such as precious metals, luxury goods, and precious wines. Alchemy materials and even magic items are relatively expensive items.

After noticing this, Finn took out his money bag from his body and held it in his hand with some tears and laughter, thinking that this guy didn't know whether it was unintentional or black-bellied, but he really found a good place to spend his money at this time.

Just as he was holding the money bag and was slightly distracted, Leah, who was leading the way in front, suddenly looked back at him and shouted, "Hey, Finn, I remember the things in this store well, how about we take Lilith in and have a look?" ”

Hearing Leah's voice, Finn immediately came back to his senses, and together with Lilith, he looked up in the direction of Leah's finger, and then looked at the shop in front of him called "Caro's Treasury".

"Finn, what's in that store?" Lilith blinked. Although her dark eyes rarely shone brightly, Finn could see a small amount of anticipation in her gaze.

"It looks like a jewelry store, even though it's not too big." So, the young man smiled and stroked her hair and asked her, "How is it, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

"Hmm." The girl nodded immediately and agreed softly. (To be continued.) )
