Chapter 25: What Charuka Sees
Qin Ming never thought that he could meet such a huge city in the desert, if you walked in the desert and looked directly, you would not be able to see the whole picture of this desert city, because it was built in a huge desert basin.
To the east and west of the city are a series of towering rocks, which are only a few dozen meters higher than the desert flats, but below them, there is something else.
Below stands the capital of the desert, Charuka!
There are only two exits to the city, one facing south and one looking north.
Qin Ming followed the flow of people and entered from the north entrance, where there was a wide road that could accommodate the convoy of four or two beasts in parallel, and the road was full of traffic.
Da! Da! Da!
The sound of beast hooves was urgent, and in the distance, two brocade-clothed young men rode landing birds and ran on the road one after the other, and for a while the pedestrians on the road avoided one after another, and the two young men riding landing birds were followed by servant guards in the back: "Young Master Harry, Young Master Phoebe, slow down, slow down!"
When Qin Ming saw this scene, he moved towards the side of the road to avoid it, and watched the two teenagers pass by.
"It seems that no matter where you are, there are disciples who are gentle!" Qin Ming smiled dumbly and continued to move forward.
At this time, on Qin Ming's shoulder, Tianba kicked his big amber eyes, his small mouth opened slightly, and he looked around curiously.
"Master, look what they're doing!"
"Master, master, those four big wheels can actually roll!"
"The host, the master..."
For Tianba, everything here is so new and curious.
Qin Ming reached out and touched Tianba's furry body, and said with a smile: "This is human society, if you see it in the future, it won't be strange!"
"Oh!"
Tianba pouted, obviously a little dissatisfied with this answer.
Suddenly, it saw a black wooden board hanging in Qin Ming's hand, and said, "Master, what is this black wooden plaque in your hand!"
"Can you eat it?"
Speaking of this, Tianba's big eyes lit up again.
When Qin Ming heard this, a black line suddenly appeared on his face, and he flicked it lightly on Tianba's forehead, and said with a smile: "Eat, you know how to eat!"
"How did I find out you're still a snacker!"
Qin Ming shook his head helplessly.
"Hee-hee!"
Tianba also laughed, and took advantage of Qin Ming's shoulder affectionately, obviously after a day of getting along, the relationship between Qin Ming and Tianba was also quite harmonious.
The black token in his hand was actually given to him by Martin, half an hour ago, after Qin Ming refused Martin's invitation again, which made Martin quite regretful, but as a shrewd businessman, he knew that Qin Ming was a person worth investing in, so he gave this black token to Qin Ming.
The Dragon and Flower Merchants Group has some industries in Charuka, including hotels, material shops, and magic crystal pawns, etc., and Qin Ming can get a seven-percent discount when he enters these shops with this token, and enjoy VIP treatment.
Martin was so gracious, Qin Ming thought about it a little, and then accepted his kindness, he must go out, and it is good to have more friends.
Later, after the merchant group sent Qin Ming to Xialuka, they separated, because they also had to go to a demonic beast slaughtering and trading field three kilometers outside Xialuka to dispose of the corpses of twenty-one desert monitor lizards.
The reason why it was built outside of Charuka was because it would prevent the smell of blood from permeating the city.
Of course, before leaving, Martin also gave Qin Ming four first-order magic crystals and 10,000 bellas, with these two things, Qin Ming would be able to live in Charuka for a while.
In addition, Martin also generously gave a two-level fire-based magic crystal to Qin Ming, saying that it was a gift for saving the merchant group this time.
In this regard, Qin Ming took it with peace of mind.
At this moment, along the road gradually down, after a long downhill road, finally came into view of a field of houses of different styles, the houses are next to each other, looking very lively.
This is the downtown area of trading.
"Beast claw set, the top beast claw set is cheap, only 300 Bella!"
"Special sale, our store's signature, blazing fried chicken, 80 bella enough!"
"Map, map of the Great Tarragan Desert, a must-have for travelers, it's cheap, 10 bellas!"
“。。。 ”
There were many shops on both sides of the street, and there were many shouts in the shops, Qin Ming couldn't help but exclaim, he didn't expect that there would be such a prosperous scene in Charukana.
At this moment, he had the feeling of returning to a different world, like returning to a hypermarket in his previous life.
"I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Suddenly, at this moment, on Qin Ming's shoulder, Tianba jumped suddenly, his eyes staring at the shop on the right.
Listening to Tianba's voice, Qin Ming's gaze looked towards the position over there.
It turned out that there were four big characters written on the store, "Rainbow Squat Fish Soup!"
As soon as the corners of Qin Ming's mouth twitched, he knew that his purse was going to suffer, but at this time, his stomach was gurgling uncontrollably.
He sighed slightly, stepped away, and walked into the shop...
Twenty minutes later, he spent a full 190 bella in this store before he walked out of the store with some distress, while Tianba was satisfied and lay on Qin Ming's shoulder and hiccuped.
The rainbow fish soup tastes really good, but the price is really expensive.
The average fish soup is only about 50 bellas, but his fish soup has more than tripled.
He also asked the store why the price was so expensive, and the store just smiled and explained that because the rainbow fish is produced in Lake Valenia in the Kingdom of Sailal, it takes three full days to transport it to Charuka, and the shipping cost is quite expensive with the cost of preservation measures, so the price is naturally raised.
Qin Ming found a bench nearby and sat down, intending to rest first.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Don't wait, don't make Sate wait!"
Suddenly, at this moment, a fierce voice came from far and near, and there was the sound of a leather whip.
Qin Ming's expression froze, and he immediately stood up, looking in the direction of that side.
On the street, a row of women wearing black hats came by, and under the scorching sun, each woman had a numb face and walked slowly towards this side.
On either side of it were escorted by seven or eight fierce-looking merchant guards, and the one standing at the back waved a long whip from time to time.
"This, damn it!"
Qin Ming's gaze suddenly became a little colder, and the fighting spirit in his body was gradually released, and he wanted to take action.
"Boy, don't be impulsive!"
Suddenly, at this moment, behind him, the voice of a middle-aged man was heard.
Qin Ming was stunned, then withdrew his fighting spirit, and when he looked back, he saw that it was actually the store manager.
The store manager stepped forward and grabbed Qin Ming's shoulder, and immediately reminded: "Young man, you just came to Xialuka!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
"These people are the slave catchers under the Orlanka Merchant Group, and the Orlanka Merchant Group is the strongest merchant group in Charuka!"
"Although I am disgusted, the slave catcher is legal here!"
In the room, the store manager's voice became a little heavy, and the speed of his speech was also a little slower, obviously warning Qin Ming again.
"Everything is free in Charuka, and the slave catchers are no exception!"
"That's why this is a paradise for adventurers!"
Qin Ming's eyes closed slightly, he took a deep breath, then turned around and hugged his fist towards the store manager, and said, "Thank you for the store manager's mention!"
The store manager gave up, turned around and walked into the store this time, and the voice came: "I'm just listening to a reminder!"
"Orlanka Merchant Group, hmph, I wrote it down!" Qin Ming said softly.
His gaze glanced at the slave catchers who had already gone away, and then walked quickly in the opposite direction, at this moment, there was only one destination for him, and that was the legendary guerrilla guild.
