Chapter 274: Golden Scale Harbor
On the fourth day after setting off from Gem Island, Modo appeared in the sky outside the Golden Scale Harbor of the Roland Empire, which was the first time that Modo had the privilege of seeing what a port city of human society was like since he crossed into this world.

The current time is about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the pitch black night makes it impossible to detect the fat dragon Xiaohei who is hovering above the altitude of thousands of meters, trying to restrain his dragon power, not to mention the little dwarf Modo, who is more small.
But with the dotted lights around Golden Scale, Modo can see the port city below clearly.
The hydrological conditions of the port are good, and the half-moon-shaped arc of the harbor area has a large number of berths on the side of the sea, and all the berths are divided into two large areas, the left side is full of large and small merchant ships and fishing boats, and the right side is full of tall warships.
These specialized warships are completely different from the armed merchant ships that captured the Bloodsail Pirates, and even the smallest frigate here can easily defeat Shaxx's flagship, of course, without engaging in broadside battles.
Modo vaguely remembered that Golden Scale Harbor was supposed to be the location of the Roland Empire's Second Fleet, and it seemed that it had been attacked by the Bloodsail Pirate Regiment secretly controlled by Prince Eugen more than a year ago, and it was said that it was a heavy loss.
But even so, Modo counted it, and there were still nearly thirty large and small warships moored at the berth, which was still a powerful maritime force, and the main fleet of this size, the Roland Empire had a total of five.
Even Mo Duo remembered the Jose Empire, known as the number one naval power on the mainland, and their naval strength was several times that of the Roland Empire, so how powerful their fleet should be.
The little dwarf estimated in his heart that the orc empire on the edge of the continent also has a vast coastline, but it doesn't even have a little naval seed, and it seems that if he wants to build a naval force that can protect his own territory from scratch, he still needs to make too much effort.
Judging from Modo's experience in the Roland Empire, Golden Scale Port should belong to the kind of medium-sized city with a population of about 200,000 people, because it is one of the few port cities in the Roland Empire, the streets here are extremely prosperous, and at this time in the current time period, there are people everywhere below, but almost all of them are characters dressed as sailors.
This kind of sailors who have been living at sea all the year round are like this, even if they only have half a gold coin in their hands, they can't wait to spend it, otherwise if they are unlucky, something happens on the sea, and they are gone, and they will lose a lot of money.
Suddenly, Modo felt the urge to go to the Golden Scale Harbor for a walk, so he carefully drove the fat dragon to land in the hidden place in the corner of the port, and then disguised himself as the former dwarven warrior Niu Dali, and walked towards the brightly lit place in the port.
Just now in the strong wind in the air, Modo didn't feel much, but now when walking on the stone road full of dirty water, he felt the strong fishy smell on the tip of his nose, and breathed this fishy smell, Modo deliberately chose a low-end bar crowded with sailors and walked in.
After entering the door, Modo was almost soaked in a stinky sweat by the heat wave inside the bar, and the small bar of 100 square meters was full of surging heads, and the rude sailors who drank heavily and made a loud noise, and the fat and plump barmaids who dressed coolly raised the temperature in the bar by more than five degrees out of thin air.
Perhaps it was a habit he had developed in his previous life, but after entering the door, Modo walked straight to the bar, and then jumped on the high stool in front of the bar on his tiptoes.
After just sitting down, the thin middle-aged boss behind the bar directly pushed the shoddy wooden cup that had just been filled with wine in his hand in front of Mo Duo, and said: "It's been a long time since Golden Scale Harbor has seen the arrival of dwarven adventurers, this should be what you want, the cheapest rum, a silver coin, please pay first." ”
Mo Duo took out the money bag used to disguise himself at his waist, opened it and glanced inside, there were still more than a dozen gold coins in it, he directly poured out one, flicked it at the middle-aged boss with his thumb, and then grabbed the wine glass and poured a big sip into his mouth.
The only thing that is commendable about the bad taste and the pungent fermentation taste is that the alcohol content is almost catching up with the country rice wine of the previous life, and although Modo had drunk this bad wine several times when he was in the mercenary team led by Ade, he was still very unaccustomed to it.
"No need to look for it, the rest of the money will be the cost of me asking you for some news. Mo Duo endured the discomfort in his stomach and said to the middle-aged boss.
"Oh! The middle-aged boss stopped the change in his hand, and asked Mo Duo with curiosity, the dwarf in front of him was dressed in tatters, but he didn't see that the shot was unexpectedly generous.
You must know that one gold coin can be exchanged for a hundred silver coins, and in a shabby little bar like his, even if you drink rum all night and then find a waitress to have a good night, it is a huge expense of about fifty silver coins, and even this includes the room fee and the next day's breakfast.
Therefore, after the middle-aged bar owner repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the gold coin in his hand, he put the gold coin into the money bag on his chest with satisfaction, and began to boast: "What do you want to know about this dwarf adventurer, you must know that I am very well informed, as long as it is in the Golden Scale Harbor, there is nothing I don't know." ”
After glancing left and right twice, and finding that no one was paying attention to him, Mo Duo lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know any news about the remnants of the Elven Empire, as long as you know, money is not a problem." ”
After asking, in order to strengthen the temptation, Mo Duo deliberately tossed the money bag in his hand, making a crisp sound of gold coins crashing.
It's a pity that the middle-aged boss, who is known as well-informed, was at a loss when he heard about the remnants of the Elven Empire, obviously he hadn't even heard of the Elven Empire, which existed thousands of years ago and ruled this continent for a long time.
The little dwarf sighed silently in his heart, when he asked this question, he didn't have much hope at all, even the problem that the thieves' guild, which claimed to be ubiquitous, couldn't solve it, where could it be saved and easily solved, his face was irrepressibly gloomy.
However, his expression caused a misunderstanding among the middle-aged boss, he was afraid that Mo Duo would return the gold coin that was already in his arms, he hurriedly said: "I don't know what the remnants of the Elf Empire are, but I have a top-secret information here Do you want to know? It's about the master craftsman of the Golden Scale Harbor Shipyard, but it's just a gold coin......"
Mo Duo's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, isn't the Gem Island Shipyard missing such a role now?
Without hesitation, he threw the money bag in his hand to the middle-aged boss: "Say, what's going on?"
