Chapter 264: Return 2
The port that Leonie is talking about is called Black Gold. It's not so much a port as it is a huge and bustling port city. Black Gold is located in the northwest of the Night Charm City, and the scale of the entire city's buildings can rank among the top three in the territory of the Blood Clan, which is the main reason why the new King of the Blood Clan attaches so much importance to it.
Because the gold income brought by this bustling port city accounts for nearly half of the entire blood clan. You must know that in terms of the current internal structure of the blood clan, each lord fights for his own battles, and his own financial income is all included in his own pockets, even if he pays tribute to the new king of the blood clan every year, but the amount is very small. But to this day, the new King of the Blood Clan is still the richest in the clan, and his total assets are beyond the reach of other lords. Among them, the contribution of this black gold port is absolutely indispensable.
The massive metal gates hung high in the air like sharp gates, and two huge steam towers sat behind them, belching black smoke that sent a steady stream of power to the defensive artillery above the walls. This type of heavy artillery is powerful, has an ultra-long range, and has strong air defense capabilities, and the shells used are even more armor-piercing, even military airships can not withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery.
In addition to the heavy artillery on the city walls, several pursuit boats hovered in the air, and under the cover of anti-aircraft heavy guns, the swift pursuit boats were a nightmare for all combat airships.
Alan looked at the huge steel city and couldn't help but say with emotion: "This is simply a military fortress, I'm afraid that no blind guy comes back here to make trouble, it's just an act of sending people to death." ”
Mr. Slim smiled and said, "This is the biggest source of income for the new King of the Blood Clan, so the defenses should naturally be exceptionally perfect. The new kings of the blood clan are not just trading live bodies, they also have some other transactions, such as the powerful alchemy ability of the blood clan, they will sell the alchemy circle separately, and some high-level alchemy circle templates can even be sold for sky-high prices. ”
"Such a deal. I really have a hard time believing that there is an unending hostile relationship between the Republic and the Cyborg Parliament. Alan looked at the wolf clans, undead clans, and gorgeously equipped human clans coming and going, and it was a little difficult to accept for a while.
"In fact, in recent years, there have been very few battles between the Republic and the Cyborg Council, and there are only one or two large-scale battlefields, which are the competition for resources, and they cannot give an inch. Although the top leaders of the republic are reluctant to admit it in recent years, the decline of national power is obvious to all. The Republic's finances are in a state of loss almost every year, so such a trading port can relieve the financial pressure. ”
"What are the goods supplied by the Republic?" Alan couldn't help but ask curiously.
At this time, the steam-powered car had already driven into the Black Gold City, because the steam-powered car was stamped with the family crest of the Grand Duchess. Therefore, it is unimpeded in the Black Gold City, but the city is too crowded, and the speed of the steam-powered car is gradually slowing down.
Leonie took the opportunity to say, "The humans are also living creatures that have been transported here. As you know, the Bloodlines need a lot of Blood, and as Mr. Slim said, the battlefield between the two sides has been confined to a special area. And our tribe has very few invasion wars against humans, so where does the blood come from? ”
Alan couldn't help frowning this time, and then he looked at Mr. Slim, "The goods sold by the Republic are humans?" ”
Mr. Slim smiled awkwardly, acquiescing. Leonie continued: "The goods provided by the Republic. We call it a blood slave, and the blood slave is also divided into several classes according to the advantages and disadvantages of the bloodline. Basically, a high-quality blood slave can be sold for a very high price. And the inferior blood slave republic will provide it in batches. ”
When Alan heard this, he felt that there was a anger in his heart that could not be vented. But at this moment, he chose to be silent, because now he can't do anything, knowing that such a transaction is inhumane, but such a transaction has existed for thousands of years. The human republic uses this cruel method to keep the republic running. At the same time, it exaggerates the horror of the blood clan and the brutality of the Seberg Council among the people. Alan didn't know how long such a rotten republic would survive......
Mr. Slim looked back. Looking at Allen, who looked lonely, Mr. Slim couldn't help but sigh softly: "When I first learned about the current state of the Republic, I was more beaten than you were hit. Because when I came down from the alien battlefield, I watched my comrades leave us forever. At the time, I thought the sacrifice was worth it. But when I learned the truth, I suddenly felt that all our efforts were not worth it. Such a republic is worth defending with our lives? But in the end, when I saw the civilians who were able to live in peace under our protection, I suddenly felt that everything we had done was not in vain. We are not for the republic, but for all the surviving humanity. ”
Hearing this, Alan couldn't help but raise his head, then looked at Mr. Slim, and then smiled: "Yes, for all the surviving humans. ”
The steam-powered car drove slowly like a snail, and finally came to a halt in front of a tall building, with Leonie getting out first, followed by Alan and Mr. Slim.
"This is the port management office of Black Gold City, and all airships must be registered here." Leonie explained as she led Alan and the two into the hall of the management office. As soon as Alan entered, he couldn't help but be stunned in place, and as far as the eye could see, there were dozens of windows lined up in a long line, and the entire hall was crowded with people, where you could see bloods, werewolves, undead and even humans. Such a peaceful coexistence of multiple races is really rare.
As soon as Leonie entered, a gorgeous woman quickly greeted her: "Leonie! What a rarity. ”
Leonie's cold face barely squeezed out a smile: "Trissy, long time no see." ”
The person who came was a woman with a charm and charm, although age would never be written on the face in the blood clan, but the lifespan of the blood clan could be judged from the strength of the blood.
The Bloodborn, known as Trise, wore sky-blue overalls, white swaying thighs under a tight hip-hugging skirt, and her fair and bloodless skin was strange but could not hide the slippery texture. Trissy's figure is quite tall, but the plumpness of her body is charming, with a slender waist and a towering ****, a complete stunner.
Triss stepped forward with a smile and affectionately took Leonie's arm, in the eyes of outsiders. The two are like best friends like sisters. However, Leonie was obviously not used to the other party's affectionate attitude, but Alan found that Leonie surprisingly did not pull down her face, nor did she pull out her arm, so she let the other party hold her.
"Who are these two?" Triss blinked at Alan and Mr. Slim with beautiful and seductive eyes, especially when her gaze stayed on Alan's body for a long time, and the naked desire in her eyes was undisguised, as if a cat had seen a delicious fish, and Alan was furious in his heart.
Leonie hurriedly explained, "This is the winner of this marriage order - Mr. Allen. The other was his servant, Mr. Slim. ”
Smiled and nodded. Mr. Slim also saluted respectfully.
"I didn't expect the archduke to have a very good eye." Terri looked at Eren again without hesitation.
"We need an airship to the Republic, I wonder if there is a suitable route now?" Leonie didn't answer, she was very respectful to the Archduchess, but Triss's ridiculous tone was obviously disrespectful to the Archduchess, but Leonie chose to ignore it. Seeing this scene in Alan's eyes couldn't help but make him mutter, it seems that this Triss is not a simple character, at least not very afraid of the female archduchess. It's just that the blood qi in her body is not very strong, and it is not even as high as Leonie's level. And in the insight world, Alan can also be sure. The other party did not use any special method of concealment.
"To the Republic?" This time it was Triss's turn to be surprised, she looked at Alan again and even pulled out a pair of black-rimmed glasses, but in the end she shook her head, "That's weird." I can't even see through your strength, and there is no trace of energy flow in your body? Are you a monster? ”
Alan smiled slightly: "This is my special ability, which makes you smile." ”
"No wonder it's the man that the female archduke has a crush on, and even his abilities are weird." Triss smiled. Then he looked at Leonie and said, "I'm afraid it won't work today, you saw it too." I've been busy here for the past two days. The routes to and from are all arranged, I don't know what's going on recently, the activities on the side of the republic are very frequent, it seems that something big is going to happen, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to raise a large amount of gold coins. ”
Hearing this, Alan couldn't help but look at Mr. Slim, who shook his head slightly. Then I heard Leonie say, "In that case, can you arrange a place for us to stay, and we will set off again tomorrow." ”
Triss smiled and said, "Depending on what you say, since you are here, it is like being at home, so don't be so restrained." Just live in my house, anyway, the place is big enough, and it's empty when it's empty. ”
Leonie was silent for a moment, then said with a slight hesitation, "This ...... Is it convenient? ”
"It's convenient, let's go, come along." Triss refused Leonie, and dragged her out, with Alan and Mr. Slim following them helplessly.
Along the way, all the pedestrians who saw Triss unconsciously got out of the way, even if someone secretly looked at the pair of white and tender thighs, it was only a sneaky glance, Alan was curious to find that Trissy's fame here can be explained by being a household name, and there is hardly anyone who does not know her. So the four of them walked quite smoothly along the way.
Triss's residence was a small white two-story building on one of the busiest streets of the Black Gold City. There are all kinds of shops around, and there are even people selling human blood slaves and blood women on the street. Eren looked at Triss and Leonie, who were already surprised.
Mr. Slim whispered beside Allen, "The street sells the lowest goods, and these are only for the idle merchants. It has gradually become the largest trading city between the Republic and the Cyborg Parliament. Many small merchants also like to come here to buy, in addition to the Blood Woman and Blood Slave, there are also large quantities of other items. ”
Alan nodded, and couldn't help but look at the shops around him, and sure enough, from weapons to armor, to various alchemy circle templates, and even some special ore storage.
Alan couldn't help but think of the purple space crystal in the virus space, and it seemed that he needed to find a time to carefully identify these ores.
The four of them walked into the white building, and two beautiful maids took the lead in greeting them, and Triss smiled and pointed to Alan and said, "This is my honored guest, you are well entertained." ”
The two maids glanced at each other, and then a charming smile appeared on their faces, their clothes were quite revealing, the short black skirts could barely cover the straight buttocks, the white breasts exposed a large area of skin, the slender legs were wrapped in black stockings, and they came to Allen's side with high open-toed leather shoes, one left and one right sandwiched Allen in the middle, and the towering soft flesh was pressed against Allen's arms.
Leonie frowned, and just wanted to say something, but Alan gently pushed the two maids away, and then said with a smile: "Your hospitality is appreciated, but I need a quiet rest now." Thank you. ”
Triss couldn't help but wave her hand in disappointment, and the two maids bowed down lightly: "Are you afraid that the female archduke will know, don't worry, even the female archduke can't intervene in my place." As long as Leonie didn't say it, she wouldn't know. ”
"Triss!"
Leonie finally couldn't help but say, Triss hurriedly raised her hands and said with an innocent face: "Okay, okay, okay, just kidding, don't be so serious." ”
Triss said and took Leonie's hand and walked towards the second floor, and when everyone came to the room on the second floor, Triss introduced: "You can choose the room here, Leonie and I still have a lot to discuss, so I won't accompany the two of you." With that, Triss pulled Leonie downstairs.
Alan casually pushed open a room, and then walked in with Mr. Slim, and after seeing the world around, Alan asked, "What do you think of this Trise?" ”
Mr. Slim came to the window and looked downstairs at Triss as she pulled Leonie down the street, "It's hard to say, but it's not a simple character to be able to establish here, and you should have noticed Leonie's attitude." It seems that even the Grand Duchess may not be able to stand taller in front of Triss. ”
"Forget it, we're leaving soon, so don't worry about it so much." Alan sat on the couch and said, "Now, the most important thing is to be able to return to Falling Silver City. (To be continued.) )
