Chapter 21: Bodivia

The port of Bodivia is not busy, after all, it is not far from the port city of Seville, which has the largest cargo throughput in the interior of Fenerport.

But the presence of Bodivia's port is necessary, after all, Bodivia has a natural deep-water port here. Compared with Seville, which is located at the mouth of the Essur River and is greatly affected by the tides, the water depth of the port is often insufficient, and even the channel needs to be manually excavated, and the safe route for ships to enter and exit the port, the port of Bodivia is naturally located in the deep water shore section, and the natural water depth at low water level has already met the port requirements, and the tidal range is also smaller, and many ore ships prefer to anchor here instead of Seville.

However, compared to the huge volume of cargo generated by Seville due to the service of both sea and river boats, Bodivia is much more dismal, and there is a huge economic disparity between the two cities not far apart.

Agnes stepped out of the carriage, put her hat on top of her head, glanced at the streets that were noticeably deserted compared to Seville, and handed the coachman a five-lira and a one-lira note (according to the previous conversion setting for the gold-riso and gold-pound, five-lira was equivalent to 8.33 soles), and thanked him. Five lira is the hiring fee, while one lira is a gratuity of gratitude.

To be honest, the town under the castle of Anwa seems to be closer to Seville than Bodivia, but the kingdom administratively assigned the town to Bodivia instead of Seville.

If she didn't have to go to the castle of Anwa there, it would have been wise to take the train from Seville to Bodivia.

She came up from the hill where the castle of Anwa was located, bought a shirt and trousers that fit better with "Ella Poyesia" at the town's ready-to-wear store, found a carriage to the city of Bodivia, stayed in the town for the night, and set out before dawn this morning.

To be honest, it was not easy to find a carriage from the town to the city of Bodivia, and if she hadn't spent a lot of money to impress this coachman, who was in dire need of money, she might have to wait several days before she could leave the town and go to Bodivia.

Angnes glanced at the sky that was already completely dark, and sighed slightly, she needed to find a hotel to stay in tonight as soon as possible, so as not to sleep on the streets.

"Miss Poyethea, thank you for your generosity." The coachman was visibly pleased when he saw the two bills handed to him by Angnes, and said, "I think I need to warn you that the security here in Bodivia is not very good at night, and you had better find a suitable hotel to stay in as soon as possible, so as not to encounter an accident." ”

Agnes asked with interest, "Do you have any recommended hotels?" ”

The coachman thought for a moment and said, "The best one is, of course, the one in the central square, but the price is very expensive, and it even costs more than one gold liso for one night, which is for the big guys." ”

"Generally speaking, accommodation in hotels with a price of 1 to 3 lira a day is good and relatively safe, but it is better to block the door at night to avoid burglars. Hotels like those that are a few minutes a day are more dangerous, and even if someone openly breaks into a house, no one cares. ”

The "cent" is the next level of currency in the lira, which is also in decimal. But truth be told, Agnes had rarely gotten notes in "cents" before, because she didn't need them at all, and she didn't use them more often until she left Fenerport.

"The closer you are to the downtown square, the more expensive the hotel, the closer to the main street of the city, the more expensive the hotel, the safer it is. Most of the hotels located in the suburbs, on the corner of the city alleys, are dangerous, and even murders often occur. ”

Agnes nodded and asked, "It sounds like the judgment of Bodivia's security is based on the remoteness of the streets?" ”

The coachman nodded hesitantly, agreeing with Agnes.

"Okay, thank you for telling me this." Agnes thanked the coachman, handed over a five-cent note, and then turned and walked out into the street with her suitcase.

She bought a map of Bodivia in a bookstore that wasn't closed yet, and looked at it directly by the street lamp.

Agnes had actually memorized the general map of Bodivia before, but firstly, that map was a bit outdated, and secondly, she had never been to Bodivia after all, and simply looking at the map was never real enough, and it was still not as good as directly holding the map and recognizing the way on the streets of Bodivia.

Her current location is on Bavipeter Street in Bodivia, one of Bodivia's main thoroughfares, and according to the coachman's theory, she could find a hotel to stay on this street.

But after listening to the coachman's words, Agnes suddenly had the idea of staying in a hotel in the middle of nowhere, and seeing if it was possible for the bounty hunter "Ella Poyesia" to open tonight.

After all, as far as she knows, helping the National Police Agency catch criminals is also a type of bounty hunter job.

"Forget it, let's go to the police department tomorrow and check the price of the bounty task before carefully thinking about what to do with the first mission, and don't make any extraneous things tonight."

Well, it's definitely not the reason why Agnes thought about the hygienic conditions of those hotels, and what former travelers might have done in their beds.

Agnes walked along Bavi's Peterstrasse, observing the shops on both sides of the street, and she finally found a suitable target for herself and walked in.

Behind the bar sat a somewhat drowsy woman, with her right arm propped up on the bar, her head moving little by little, and she looked like she was about to fall asleep.

Agnes, with her suitcase in one hand, stepped forward and tapped twice on the bar.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but I think it's still your working time." Agnes said with a smile.

The woman woke up and stood up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The woman bowed again and again, and said apologetically.

Agnes smiled comfortingly at the woman, her gaze sweeping over the price list behind the bar.

"Single room (no window) with one lira per day,"

"Single room, one lire and five cents a day,"

"Double room, 2 lira and 3 minutes a day......"

Agnes opened her mouth and said to the woman, "I want a normal single room. ”

"Okay, okay, how many days are you going to stay?" The woman hurriedly took out a registered notebook from the drawer and asked Agnes.

"I think I should stay for the first day, and if your accommodation is good, and I need it, I'll come and renew it."

The woman asked Agnes to sign her last name in the notebook, and then said, "Okay, one lira a day and five cents for the keys, a total of two lira, and the key deposit will be returned to you when you check out." ”

Without hesitation, Agnes handed over two one-lira notes, and the woman took out a key from the key cabinet in the back and handed it to Agnes.

"Your room is in room 3 on the east side of the second floor, may the Mother Mother bless you with a good dream." The woman bowed and said.

"Okay, thank you for your blessings and praise the Mother Goddess." Agnes smiled and thanked her, and walked upstairs with her suitcase.
