Chapter 177: The Port
Before leaving Guins, Chinkov revealed another trait of his cowardice - greed for money, he forcibly overcame the fear of bloody corpses, and searched the cannibal wreckage habitat, and found thousands of Marelli and a few precious gems, which can be regarded as a fortune.

Rodin cut off the heads of hundreds of Ingus, piled them up into a temple, and depicted the crimes of cannibals in blood as a warning.
The remaining body remains gathered together and burned to prevent the breeding of ghouls and other monsters.
The subsequent road was uneventful, except for the occasional hunting of some wild animals and tooth sacrifices, monsters and cannibals were nowhere to be found.
On the twentieth day after leaving the Flint tribe, they arrived at the port city of Sintra along the Gonglan Tianzong River.
The city is even more magnificent than Elden, with huge walls tens of meters high covered with potholes, which are all testimonies to the vicissitudes of life - Sintra has existed for more than 2,000 years.
Sintra is located in the middle of the territory of the Tianzhong Jiangxisi Empire, with a huge flow of people, and there is an endless stream of chariots and horses entering and leaving every day, and most of them are traders.
At the gate of the city were all heavily armored and halberd-wielding guards, with solemn expressions and solemn momentum, as if they were about to rush to the battlefield at any time.
This time, Rodin had changed from being a criminal to a flint tribe, so naturally he was not troubled, and the soldiers who inspected him took a picture of the totem tattoo on his arm with the detection gem, and then respectfully let him go.
The three of them entered Hinterland smoothly, and a wide avenue came into view, shouting and selling, and a picture full of secular life slowly unfolded.
The tall buildings on both sides of the street are very different from Elden's, they are full of Gothic style, with pointed arches, towering minarets, and beautiful stained glass with all kinds of ancient stories tattooed on them.
The shops were full of goods and shouting and selling, and several brokers and coachmen rushed to invite customers, but Chinkov refused them all.
"Haha, now I've come to my territory, I've been traveling for more than half a month, and I'm about to get rancid!"
Qin Ke seemed to have forgotten his fearful state at the beginning, hooked his shoulders with Rodin, and squeezed his eyebrows: "Lord Rodin, why don't we go to the hotel for a day of rest first, and have a good time......?" It's been more than half a year, and we should finally recover our body and check if our function is still sound!"
"In my opinion, you better go to the port to book a ship space first, there are many Hinterland Chamber of Commerce, and cargo ship resources are very sought-after, and they often need to be booked!"
Chagan said, "Besides, the mission to send you to Sintra has been completed. I'll go get some food supplies in a moment and I'm going to set off on my way back, and the rest of the road is up to you!"
"No problem, Brother Chagan, you can go home with peace of mind!" Chin Kev waved his hand widely, and Rodin took a thousand Marelli from the saddle belt and handed it to Chagan.
"It's been really hard for you in the past twenty days, this is some of my thoughts, please be sure to accept it. “
The guide couldn't refuse, so he gladly accepted it, and then left.
"Lord Rodin, you see...... Do you mean that to me?" chinkov rubbed his fingers at him with a sinister eyebrow
"Fuck off!
"Then go to the docks, you can take me to the tavern for a good meat opening in a moment!?" He muttered under his breath, stopping his mouth in the face of the other man's cold gaze.
Sintra is not a city made up of pure-blooded humans. With a strong trade atmosphere and excellent water transportation, it has become a gathering place for all races.
In addition to the Imperial humans with high noses and deep-set eyes, there are also short dwarves with full beards and long ears and slender elves on the streets, but the elves here are not as handsome as the legend says, but the cheekbones are prominent, and the chin is pointed like an awl, which really does not fit Rodin's aesthetics.
Occasionally, you can see some handsome people who resemble half-breeds, but judging from the clothes of half-breed children, their lives are relatively poor, and most of them are the products of their parents who can't help but have a night of joy with foreigners.
Chinkov acted as a guide, blowing as he walked: "Do you know that the city of Hinterland is loved and hated by the ancient species!"
"What is the name of the ancient species?" "Oh, forgot, you're not a pure Imperial......"
"The humans of the Sith Empire collectively refer to dwarves, elves, orcs, and their hybrids as the ancient species, because in the ancient centuries before the empire was founded, their power was much larger than that of humans, but they were only brilliant for a while, and they only belonged to the ancients. ”
"In this day and age, we humans belong to us!" he said, holding his head high and his face filled with an inexplicable superiority and arrogance.
"Smack!" Chinkov covered his head in a dull sound, "Ouch, what are you doing here, why are you hitting me!?"
"I can't tell you're still a racist. On the surface, he seems to be respectful to the ancient species, but secretly he is ridiculed, and he looks down on others in his heart. Thanks to the ancient species in your mouth, you still killed and rejuvenated the rift for mankind. “
"It's really one thing, one thing, and there's a third one! Don't forget that now I'm joining the Flint Tribe, and it's also what you call the 'ancient species'! And who is it that financed you to revive your family style? Are you sarcastic about me?!"
"Ouch, I was wrong, Lord Rodin, and I swear I will never say that to you again. Chin Kov nodded with a bitter face, calmed the other party's anger, and continued,
"Actually, at the beginning, Gu ...... No, the dwarven elven orcs resolutely rebel against the unjust arrangement of human beings, and they do not want to go to the grasslands, mountains, and forests where the environment is harsh and rift-frequent. ”
"They formed an alliance of tens of thousands of people in Sintra to prepare to resist the imperial rule, the first Sith Emperor got the news and personally led the imperial army to brutally suppress it, where the sword goes, the alliance army suffered heavy casualties, and the whole Sintra has become a hell on earth, corpses are everywhere, blood is flying, and the sky and sea are dyed red. ”
"It took a full week for the remains in Hinterland to be cleaned up – a historic event known as the Sintra Massacre. After the massacre, the aliens were truly subject to the rule of the Empire. After more than 2,000 years of such quietness, they recuperated and regained strength, but they were gradually assimilated by the various means of marriage of the empire. ”
Chinkov's face was full of admiration, as if he was looking forward to the glorious days of mankind.
But the massacre is a fact, and no matter how much history is written, he does not believe that all "aliens" are subservient.
As they chatted, there was a loud commotion - a cool sea breeze blew in their faces, and a huge pier stretching for thousands of meters appeared in sight.
Hundreds of tons of cargo were piled up, "Hey...... ...... Hey...... The majestic and neat trumpets ...... overwhelming, and hundreds of porters sweating like rain on their upper bodies lined up in a neat line, working together to load and unload skillfully.
And the most striking of them is the hill-like sailing boats, which are quietly leaning on the shore, like a giant beast sleeping on the surface of the sea, with long masts, pointed bows and sterns, and a thousand strange carvings, badges, and decorations, the size is as short as 10 meters, and as long as 30 meters, which makes Rodin, a "hillbilly" who grew up in the interior, an eye-opener, and can't help but lose his mind.
After a while, Chinkov led him to a well-dressed white, middle-aged man with glasses to look like a clerk, the port registrar Tallinn, who made his intentions clear. "Irnes, St. Gallen, two of you, let me see?"
The registrar lowered his eyes and stared at the yellowed book in his hand for a long time without blinking, and waited until both of them were a little impatient, and then said lightly, "I'm sorry two of you, Irnes' voyage is very tight, and the places for the last month have been allocated, if you make a reservation now, it is estimated that you will have to wait until next month." “
"What, it can't be!" Chinkov looked distressed and tried to snatch the booklet from the registrar's hand, but the other party flashed it with a hand that was not commensurate with his fat body size, and glared at him fiercely.
Tallinn raised his head, his narrowed eyes shot a ray of fine light, and he looked at the clothes of the two of them up and down, left and right, and raised his obese chin arrogantly, "If you don't register, then I'll go, I still have a lot to do." “
Rodin sighed in his heart, "Fortunately, I was prepared." He pulled a black pocket from his chest, and for a moment the corners of Tallinn's mouth curled.
"Brother Tallinn, we have a very important matter to go to Irnes, and we can't delay it, and I hope you can be accommodating. “
As he spoke, he pretended to be painful and stuffed the money bag to the clerk.
Money can make ghosts grind, the white fat man held the bag and gently tossed it, stuffed the money bag into his arms like a shadowless hand, and then patted his head as if he suddenly realized, "Look at my eyesight, I almost delayed the big event of the two, three days later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sailboat rushing to St. Gallen City There was still a vacant seat, and the two of them were one horse, absolutely no problem." What do you think?"
"Alright, then it's decided!" replied Rodin.
"Then Chenghui, two thousand Marelli ......" The registrar immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to the two again.
Chinkov turned to Rodin with an innocent expression, "Hey, I said that you kid don't keep trying to take advantage of it, and pay for your own ferry tickets! I have to stay a long time in St. Gallen, so I can't spend it casually." Besides, what are you doing hiding it when you have such a large sum of money from Magneti Marelli in the Flint Stone?
"My lord, just have pity on me, that money is reserved to restore the glory of my Great Ivanov family!" he showed a look of pain, "At most, when you get to the city, I will give you a free tour guide, and I will cover all the food, clothing, housing and transportation for you!"
"Huh...... Since you're so knowledgeable, I'm reasonable. Seeing that his purpose had been accomplished, Rodin took the money and took from the registrar two small receipts with a red seal and the date of the ship.
"This is your boarding credentials, please be sure to keep them, lost ones will not be replaced. In addition, the sailing ship you will be on is the Blue Nero, which is docked at the fourteenth position in the harbor, so you will have time to familiarize yourself with the environment. “
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
"Whew...... Or you are generous, otherwise our trip will be in vain. Chin Kov complimented awkwardly.
"So what are you waiting for?
