One second to remember, providing you with high speed. After seven days and seven nights of sailing, the high-speed smuggling ship of the Thieves' Guild finally slowly sailed into one of the most prosperous cities in the entire continent, Port Carlin......

Standing on the deck and looking out at the magnificent and prosperous harbor from afar, Henry felt a great shock in his heart, compared to Waterdeep, Ascatla, Silvermoon City, Baldur's Gate, and other famous cities on the west coast, Carlin Harbor was far more than that.

Countless elaborate houses and mansions hint at the inhabitation of countless wealthy people, as evidenced by the well-armed guards at the entrance, but there are many more alleys full of dilapidated wooden houses in the gorgeous streetscape, and some fierce creatures are always roaming around, and as a druid, he can even vaguely recognize the beasts in the crowd.

The contrast between affluence and poverty is stark, and there is no so-called middle class in the city, either desperately climbing up to the wealthy class, or being crushed by competitors and reduced to homeless, beggars and even hooligans and villains.

"The atmosphere in Port Carlin makes many of the Carlins feel at home, but it makes strangers from the north feel bad. Young man, before you go ashore, I give you a word of advice, don't be nosy, be patient no matter how angry the situation may be, the city has its own unique order, and anyone who dares to break it will be killed in the dirty streets without exception. The captain of the smuggling ship lowered his voice and warned in a statement.

Obviously, he did not know Henry's true identity, and in fact Robert did not tell anyone about it in order to ensure that his identity was not revealed, and the thieves, sailors, and captains on board only knew that there was a young druid who paid a high price for a hitchhiker.

Of course. Henry's extremely youthful appearance is also very deceptive. Hardly anyone would have too much suspicion of a teenager. Because at this age, most human beings are still in the restless adolescence, and no matter how happy or angry, they will express their joys and sorrows directly on their faces, and there is no scheming at all.

"Thank you for your advice. Don't worry, I'm not one of those hot-blooded teenagers with an excessive sense of justice, on the contrary, I'm here to enjoy the unique desert atmosphere of Kalinshan, and maybe buy a few beautiful slave girls) to enjoy it. Buy a few more sturdy male slaves as guards, after all, survival of the fittest is also one of the basic laws of nature. With that, Henry touched the thick fur on Ares' body.

Since entering the southern waters, the giant brown bear, disguised as a panda, has been unhappy, because the hot weather has made it very uncomfortable for it to live in the north, and despite the blessing of "tolerating the environment", the poor food on board still makes it quite unhappy.

"Aha! Young people who like to enjoy. A lewd smile immediately appeared on the captain's face. If you buy slaves, I can give you some of the builds, but of course you have to show a little bit. ”

Without saying a word, Henry took out ten gold coins from his money bag and put them in the other party's hand, and then asked with a smile: "I think these are enough for you to eat after you go ashore, and then find a beautiful and gentle Karinshan woman to relax." Now it can be said that it is built. Mr. Captain. ”

"Haha! Of course! Of course! ”

The bearded captain put each gold coin in his mouth and bit it, and after confirming that it was all genuine. Only then did he say contentedly: "First of all, the Lang Nail Chamber of Commerce, they control about thirty percent of the slave trade in the entire Karlinshan, from the sturdy barbarians in the north to the elves in the jungle in the south, as long as you can afford it, almost any race can buy it. ”

"Then there are the two large arenas in the city, where all the year-round gladiators are sold, they are professionally trained and loyal to their masters, but the prices are a little too expensive, and some are said to sell for tens of thousands of gold coins."

"As for the last channel, of course, the most characteristic gang in Port Carlin, they also sell some slaves, although there are many good goods among them, but be careful, once these guys find out that you are vulnerable, they will immediately choose to grab it. Personally, I don't recommend that you try the last one, although you have a big bear with you, but its appearance is funny, and it may not deter those outlaws. ”

"Thank you very much for the introduction, I think I already have a certain understanding of the city. As for my animal companion, it is called Panpan, it is a rare species from the Karatu continent in the East, don't look very cute, but in fact, it is a very fierce beast like a bear. Henry ignored Ares' disdainful gaze and directly said the fabricated false identity.

Hearing the three words of Caratu, his eyes lit up slightly: "Oh?!" A rare animal in the Eastern Continent? Then you know, there are a lot of weirdos in the city who like to collect strange animals, and they are sure to get you into a lot of unexpected trouble. ”

Henry shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and a playful smile appeared on his face: "Is it troublesome?" It doesn't matter, it's not necessarily who is looking for whom's trouble. ”

"Roar!"

Ares let out a low roar with his fanged mouth, as if to say that whoever dares to hit me will bite him to death.

The smuggling ship was soon guided into the berth by the port officer, and after the captain paid a bag of gold coins, the officer in the white robe left with the soldiers without even checking the goods.

In Callinshan, taking bribes was almost everywhere, and when he got off the ship, Henry saw that several ships that had just docked were doing the same thing, some of them gave more, some of them gave less, and it seemed that it had a lot to do with the power behind the owner.

"What a country full of ** and chaos...... Henry sighed in a low voice, and without saying a word, he led Ares towards the city.

As soon as he crossed a street, he immediately understood what the captain was talking about with his anger.

In the corners, a large number of children with no clothes to wear, their bellies swollen with hunger, crawled up and down on the ground, trying to find something to eat in the hot sand.

Suddenly, a gilded carriage full of slaves galloped past and ran over the children, splattering blood and killing at least two of them. But the soldiers patrolling the side of the road didn't seem to see anything, and the passers-by only glanced at them indifferently.

To make matters worse, part of the avenue is lined with filthy gutters, perhaps because the sewers are not well designed. So use them instead of sewage pipes. A large number of bodies of the destitute were left behind. Others fell miserably on the side of the road. Silently waiting for death to come.

Of course, any city has an ugly side, but at the same time it has a glamorous side.

Walking through the bustling streets, Henry finally came to the bustling market area, where the dense crowd and the variety of goods instantly attracted his attention, weapons, food, tobacco from the Aztec continent, coffee, and most importantly, there was a public auction of slaves!

Merchants used all kinds of methods to attract buyers, and used crossbows to test live slaves. Let the dancers dance almost completely naked, wearing translucent tulle only on the heavy parts) female lesbian giant snake......

In short, there is only what you can't think of, there is no real trade market without any restrictions that these merchants can't show, and everything can be sold.

"Kind sir, give me something to eat!" A naked, tanned boy knelt on the ground with his hands pitifully and begged in a low voice.

Before Henry could react, a guard who looked like he was in charge of policing rushed over and kicked the beggar out of the way, then cursed loudly: "Get out of here!" You damn pickpockets, how many times have I warned you. Theft is not allowed in this area. ”

"Cut! It's annoying! I tell Boss Jaber that you are getting in the way of our business. The young beggar rubbed his belly when he fell to the ground. Immediately he made a vicious threat. His eyes were fierce and arrogant, and he looked like two people just now.

"Phew! A bunch of gangsters really think of themselves as guilds? Get out! By the way, if I see his man here again, he will spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. The guard paid no attention to the beggar's threat, and spat the ground.

Looking at the boy who disappeared into the alley in indignation, a smile appeared on Henry's face, and he directly took out a gold coin and threw it to the guard: "Thank you for your help, I just came to Port Carlin by boat, can you tell me what to pay attention to here?" ”

"Of course!" The guard put the gold coin in his pocket and nodded slightly.

"Number one, never give alms to any beggar, although many of them are really poor people, but more often are thieves under the control of the gangs, as soon as they find rich well-wishers, they will immediately flock to them, and after a mess, you will immediately find that your money bags and valuables are gone."

"Second, don't trust the credibility of the traders, and never choose to go outside the city to see the goods, because they usually have close dealings with the bandits."

"Third, if you have the money, it's best to go to the arena and buy a few gladiators as guards, so that you can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"I see, it seems that this city is more dangerous than I thought, you are such a good person." Henry pretended to be unreasonable, and bowed very sincerely, and Ares, who was following behind, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this scene.

"Good guys?" The guard laughed and shook his head when he heard the word. "No, young man, there are no good people in this city. The reason why I help you is because I see you dressed like a rich man and you can get benefits, and I don't bother to care about those dirty adventurers. ”

With that, he turned and walked elsewhere, and it wasn't long before he disappeared into the crowd.

Henry shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and continued to wander the market with Ares, buying a large amount of fragrant food, like a teenager who had just left the house and was a little curious about everything, as if he had not noticed a few pairs of eyes secretly observing him.
