Chapter 104: The City of Glory
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can see a giant city full of southern European flavors!
In the city, the cathedral with its spire is quite spectacular and impressive, busy pedestrians of all colors walk on the neat stone paths of the city, and some colorful flags flutter on the roofs or on the top of the city walls, painted with a pattern that Lin Tian is very familiar with - the cross pattern!
It's just that this city, of course, can't be a cross religion on earth.
In fact, this positive cross pattern indicates that they are orthodox people who believe in the beast god Carlos.
When the beast god Carlos fell into a deep sleep, lacking the arrangement and response of the gods, soon the religious elites on both the human and orc sides began to fall astray.
And because of this, there was a split, although in general everyone still believes in the same god, but the interior is already full of rifts, and divided into many factions, and this orthodox faction, also known as the traditional faction, is the current Beast God religious faction of the boss.
Speaking of which, the location of the City of Glory is quite special, it is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Noah, the orcs and the kingdom of Faxi, and for this reason, caravans come here from all three places, making it famous for its amazing and prosperous commercial trade!
It is a well-deserved commercial capital of the entire Noah Kingdom! It is a trading city that has been painstakingly operated by the people of Noah's royal family for a hundred years, and it cannot compare to the prosperity of this glorious city!
The headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, and even the headquarters of the famous Adventure Guild are all located in this famous city of the human camp.
Lin Tian followed the caravan to the city gate, and after marveling at the fact that this world could also build a city tower with a thickness of 10 meters, Lin Tian paid the entrance tax of 10 gold coins and entered this prosperous indigenous city with a carriage.
On both sides of the street, in addition to the holy beast god church and the neat and standardized residential buildings, Lin Tian suddenly found that there was actually a domed temple, which was a heretical building for the orthodox.
"Rafa, I remember that the City of Glory is orthodox, why can you see reformist buildings here?" Lin Tian, who was walking on the spacious stone slab, asked casually.
Rafa smiled smugly at this time, as if he was proud to be a citizen of the City of Glory: "Your Highness, this is the City of Glory!"
"Every year, groups of merchants from different countries and ethnicities come here to trade. ”
"Our glorious city was built on commerce from the very beginning, and since the construction of the Dome of the Reformed Temple would make the merchants of the Reformed faith happier to do business and make us richer, why didn't we build it? ”
"My long-dead Alpha Daddy said that whether they are orthodox or reformers, they will become their closest partners and best friends in front of the gold coins!"
"A sword can be turned against a single gold coin, a war can be won with a sword and a spear, but gold can do just the same. Hearing this, Lin Tian sighed softly.
Rafa was slightly stunned, revealing a hint of surprise: "My lord, it turns out that you also know the famous words of our Grand Duke of Rhodes. ”
"Huh. Lin Tian smiled in his mouth, but he was secretly muttering to himself in his heart: "Rub, someone has already said this first! Could this Grand Duke of Rhodes also be a traverser? If it is true, he is really sad enough, at least dozens of gods are planning to destroy his foundation under his pretenses." ”
Walking through a street, Lin Tian was able to see the most spacious and magnificent building in the entire Glory City-Divine Grace Square!
This huge square is located in the center of the Glory City, and the square is neatly and orderly filled with all kinds of shops, countless merchants, and citizens linger here, trading according to the commercial laws of the Glory City.
On the east side of the square is the imposing Council of the City of Glory, a marble building that resembles a Greek temple and is home to the most powerful man in the entire city!
To the north of the square is the headquarters of the commercial guild, where merchants from all over the world come to trade and often go here to register first, and many are willing to hand over their goods directly to the commercial guild for processing, after all, the credibility of the guild has been tested for a long time.
Lin Tian's purpose is also here.
Rafa followed Lin Tian and stopped a little fearfully at the door of the business guild headquarters.
This is not the place for a character like him to go in!
Lin Tian noticed Rafa's uneasiness, smiled lightly and turned back, "Follow me, you are now my subordinates." ”
"My lord!" Rafa was a little excited, letting himself and others follow him into such a high-level club, did the adult show his approval?
The mercenary guarding the door of the Commercial Guild Headquarters saw that Lin Tian's clothes were neat and clean, and at the same time incredibly smooth, so he let both of them walk in without hindrance.
Compared to the noise outside, the hall inside the headquarters of the merchant guild was much quieter.
There are high-end soft blankets on the floor, expensive fragrant wood tables and chairs, pot-bellied merchants discuss business opportunities in groups, and occasionally drink a sip of champagne or grape wine brought by a beautiful maid.
Lin Tian's arrival attracted the attention of some businessmen, but cautiously, they did not go to talk to this rare black-haired and black-eyed businessman, but chose to wait and see.
"Welcome, friends from afar. A fat man with a fat face and an extremely lewd smile came down the stairs from the second floor.
His eyes narrowed into a slit due to too much fat, making Lin Tian look at the clown who suspected that he had met this era.
However, the pointed turban on his head made Lin Tian vigilant, it was the sign of the reformists, and according to Rafa's information, the country of the believers of the reformists was thousands of miles away from the city of glory, and the merchants who could come over and enter the headquarters of the merchant guild could definitely not be a good pile!
"Hello. Lin Tian smiled and nodded.
The fat merchant smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "Looking at the appearance of the distinguished guest, he should be from a place even farther away than the Faxi Kingdom." ”
"Yes. Lin Tian didn't care about this, no! It should be said that Lin Tian planned to give full play to his advantage!
That's him! The only noble merchant from the legendary elves in this land!
"The place I came from, as you call it, is called an elf!" Lin Tian's words immediately caused a murmur among the merchant group.
Genie!
That's a record that can only be seen in ancient biographies, because of the suppression of the orcs, the elves have not appeared in the kingdom of Noah for many years, let alone the caravan representing the elves.
The land of the elves is the land of magic and the land of natural spices!
The value of magic items and spices has warmed the eyes of many merchants.
Even the fat flesh on the face of the reformist fat businessman shook a little because of this.
"Original...... I don't know why you came to this glorious city? My name is Aservul Ali, you can call me Ali. ”
"Servant?" The corners of Lin Tian's mouth curled slightly, and he gave him a noble salute.
"It turned out to be the servant of the Exalted, I don't know, Ali, which servant of Your Highness are you?" Lin Tian's unforgettable benefits were displayed at this time, although he had only seen it once from a very small amount of information, Lin Tian still remembered that Aserv Dule represented the servant of the Exalted, and he sensitively sensed the identity of this merchant from the other party's name, so he deliberately asked.
At the same time, this is also to deter the other party's reformist businessman: I am not a white businessman, and I know a lot about you.
For the first time, Ali lost a smile on his face: "Praise the beast god, for letting me meet such an outstanding merchant, I think this is why you have the trust of the elves." ”
He continued to whisper, "My master is the great Lord of Cairo, the King of the Desert, Kshadiri!"
"It's actually His Royal Highness the Holy Kshadili in the Kingdom of Cairo?" Lin Tian deliberately showed a surprised expression and bowed slightly.
"Hehe, it was also a coincidence that I was able to serve His Highness under the arrangement of the Beast God. Alihaha laughed and said aloud, clearly proud of being the Lord's servant.
After getting acquainted with this reformist businessman, Lin Tian and Ali began to talk enthusiastically.
And the merchants who were listening around secretly blamed themselves for being too cautious and missing the opportunity to meet the nobles.
However, there were also some businessmen who looked at Lin Tian with a hint of doubt in their eyes, and it seemed that they still had doubts about Lin Tian's identity.
"Your Highness Lin Tian, why do the elves want a human to represent you?" Ali finally asked the question in his heart when he felt that the atmosphere was sufficient.
Lin Tian said with a smile: "They are still waiting outside, in fact, I have only been in contact with the elves for two years, but my father is friends with an elder of the elf clan, in fact, this time it means that I am one of them, and the other one is a real elf." ”
"I see, I wonder what goods you brought this time?"
"Goods? Just a few pieces of equipment and some special products. After all, our purpose this time is to explore the way, so there are not many goods, and when we pass through the imperial capital of the Noah Kingdom, we also sold a lot. ”
"I see. Ali was a little disappointed, and he was still thinking about making a fortune by purchasing some elf-only magic items.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Lin Tian asked, "I'm afraid I'll be staying in this land for a short time, so I'm going to engage in trade as well." ”
"Huh. Ali smiled, "This disappoints you, I'm here to sell gold." ”
"Gold?" Lin Tian asked in a low voice, showing a very interested expression.
In fact, deep down, Lin Tian was indeed quite interested in the gold mentioned by Ali!
"Yes! Gold!" Ali shook his hands, "I have a lot of gold to sell, whether it is silver, porcelain, silk, or other specialties, you can come to me to exchange it." ”
