142: Strange Shellfish
When Luo Xi and the others came to land, it was already three days later, and the blue whale was quite large, but the speed was actually not fast, and it could only walk about five hundred miles a day.
When they were about two or three miles away from the coast, at Nicole's request, Roshi and the others did not take the blue whale again, and then they got closer to the shore inside, and the blue whale could not get out after entering.
Across the water, Roch landed on a deserted beach, and when he came ashore, he changed his gear, put on the usual row of shirts, and a shawl around his neck, and was just a knight's hat away, so that he could carry the harp to the street to tell stories.
Nicole is wearing a set of crescent-white bare-shouldered skirts, which she got from Margaret, her figure is slightly taller than Margaret, the skirt looks a little small after being put on, and can only barely cover the knees, and the two slender and white legs are completely exposed.
"Where are we going now? Roshi. ”
Nicole, who had changed into her dress, ran over in a hurry, staring at the mountains in the distance with big eyes, her face full of curiosity and anticipation.
Just as humans yearn for the ocean, they are also interested in the mysterious land in the eyes of mermaids, and the legends of the colorful human world are widely spread among them.
It's just that except for a small part of the top layer, most of the mermaids can't come to the human world, and they need to replenish the sea spirit is a little, and once they go ashore, they will lose their bloodline talent, and the mermaids without bloodline talent are even more unbearable than the noble lady who faints when they are frightened, and they are really reduced to fish meat on the human board.
"Let's find out if there are any bigger cities nearby, and go to the market. Roshi paused on the distant mountain and retracted his gaze to Nicole
Anilu City is a small harbor town at the southwestern tip of the Northland continent, rich in pearls and seafood.
Although nominally part of the Principality of Yala, the territory of Anilu City is bordered by several kingdoms at the same time, and the weakness of the Principality of Yarra has made it a three-way zone, which over time has led to the entrenchment of wanted criminals, pirates, and people engaged in black commerce on the mainland.
Compared to other cities Rohi has visited, Roshi's first impression here is that it is dirty and chaotic, with rats rummaging through the messy garbage heaps everywhere on the streets, and the most crowds can be seen either scantily clad sexy girls standing on the side of the street to solicit customers, or beggars in ragged clothes.
"Roshi, why do those girls wear so little? Didn't you tell me that humans all have to wear clothes?" asked Nicole curiously, pointing to a girl in front of the bar who was almost naked with only a silk scarf around her chest
This is a bit complicated to explain. Roshi shrugged.
"Oh. Nicole didn't go any further, her eyes were soon drawn to the sign behind the girl, it was a wine bottle, she had found it in a silent ship when she was in the tribe, and although her head would be dizzy after drinking it, she would never forget the sweet smell.
She immediately waved at Roshi, "Roshi, how about we go in and see? Well, it's called wine, right?"
"Let's get down to business first, and then there's a chance for you to have enough to drink. Roshi shook his head, then tilted his forehead back.
A few hundred meters behind the two of them stood in various parts of the street, and when Roshi turned around, they quickly shrank into the alley next to them, or turned their heads away, pretending to be ordinary pedestrians talking to their companions.
From the moment he entered the city, Roshi found these people hanging far behind, and at first he didn't understand what they meant, until he saw the state of the city, and it was roughly clear.
If it weren't for the big sword that Luo Xi was carrying, which seemed to be a little too big, I'm afraid they would have rushed up early in the morning.
"Nicole, don't get too far away from me. Retracting his gaze, Roshi confessed to Nicole that he knew that the mermaid was useless when it came to shore.
"Oh, okay. Nicole nodded
Finding a beggar on the street, Rosie took out a piece of bread, asked where the nearby market was, and then took Nicole in that direction.
One of the materials Margaret was looking for was a place called 'Strange Shellfish', which happened to be in this area, and since they were all here, Roshi was going to stop by to get them.
After crossing two streets, we came to the market, where everything was sold, including fresh fruits, weapons, and slaves captured from other countries or regions in cages.
Although the material of the strange shellfish belongs to the sea category, it is not rare in quantity, and it secretes a special liquid that has a very good aphrodisiac effect, and the nobles everywhere favor them, and if they have the conditions, they will raise one or two, which cannot be bought in ordinary shops, and Luo Xi has been around several times in a row.
Finally, after paying a gold coin, he learned from the shopkeeper that he could buy it from Rylaine, who was one of the largest merchants in Anilu City, and had a dozen merchant ships in his hands.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of the shopkeeper, Roshi successfully arrived at the store of Relaine, which has an area of four shelves, and is very conspicuous on this street.
As soon as he walked in, a young waiter with a few freckles on his face walked up, his eyes lingering on Nicole for a few moments before shifting to him as Roshi's cough sounded.
"Very... I'm sorry. The waiter quickly apologized for his faux pas, gave a very trademark smile, and then asked, "What do you need, sir?" ”
"I heard you have weird shellfish here, huh?" asked Roshi, straight to the point
"Yes, how many do you want?" the young waiter's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became much brighter.
A strange shellfish is worth 80 gold coins if it is worth retail, and it is generally booked in advance by nobles from all over the world, and then they deliver it according to the order, and the opportunity to really retail it is rare, and as long as he sells one, he can have two silver coins in his hands, which is already a lot of wealth for him.
"How many?" Roshi raised his eyebrows, "Do you sell them here?"
After a pause, he shook his head and said something that made the waiter dumbfounded: "It doesn't matter, bring me two catties, well, pay attention, you have to live." ”
