120 Chapter 120
Although it was Urruti yì who came to buy the elven ornaments, when she arrived at the place, it was Banolan who was most excited, as a real woman - as opposed to Urruti - she had the least resistance to beautiful jewelry, especially when these jewels were so beautiful that they were enchanted by the ingenious and natural carving of the elves. Not only Banolan, but also the men of Moller were amazed, Rex salivated at all the sparkling gems, and Ereba was staggered at the price of the ornaments. Then Mitterrand was taking advantage of everyone's inattention, and secretly asked the waiter to wrap a colorful crystal bracelet, so he grabbed him with a wicked smile and forced him to ask if he had a sweetheart.
Banolan bought two pairs of small and chic flower-shaped studs, a pair of powder blue for himself, and the other pair of fiery red for Uruti, wearing the studs will not affect the action and battle, Uruti didn't refuse, half-pushed and half-let Banolan put it on himself, and then looked at himself in the mirror, and seemed to blush a little.
The next step is the time to purchase, compared to magic items, unenchanted gems are actually not expensive, as long as they are not of good quality enough to be set in the crown, they can generally be sold for a set of fine jewels for a few dozen gold coins.
However, this refers to ordinary jewelry, the kind of work designed and made by the elves, even if the material is ordinary, it is often three or four times more expensive!
Eventually, under Banolan's staff, Urruti spent all the 1,000 gold coins he had won from the head of the Purs, as well as the bounty he had received from the defense of the city of Pamor, and bought eight sets of jewels, intending to go to Barlumbottom.
Moller also had a little itchy hands watching from the sidelines, thinking that he had gained thousands of gold coins on the battlefield, and he could earn some of them, so he also bought a few sets, and finally bought a few brilliant loose diamonds with more than 300 reflective surfaces for Rex, whose saliva was about to flow to the ground, as a collection.
After purchasing some supplies and visiting a few famous amusement places in Meilu City, before dark, the group returned to the City Lord's Mansion. And in the city lord's mansion, to Moeller's surprise, only half a day later, Pu Xiu had already got involved with the female city lord, and the two of them ignored everyone, and finally even went to the bedroom hand in hand......
Moller was dumbfounded, feeling that Puxiu's upright knightly image in his heart instantly collapsed. However, Mitterrand and others did not react to this. Well, this is the romance between a knight and a noblewoman, and this open traditional culture forgives him for not being able to accept it for a while......
However, even if the female city lord of Meilu City was hot, Puxiu did not stay for another day, and the next morning, the group was on the road again.
After five days, the people who had traveled long had finally reached the territory of Balombottom, and the weather suddenly became hot, and the rain became very abundant, almost every day, and it came and went as fast as it came.
The abundant rain has overgrown the forests along the route with lush broadleaf plants, and a variety of large and strange animals have increased. Lady Millian seemed to be very happy, and always rolled up the curtain of the carriage to look at the scenery along the way.
In Moller's view, they have gone from temperate to tropical. Located in the westernmost coastal region of the kingdom of Ristan, Balembatun defends the entire country from attacks from the sea, such as pirates, sea monsters, and powerful sea tribes.
In the distance, we saw a white city facing the sea, built on a gentle stone hill with a slope of less than forty-five degrees, stretching for dozens of miles, and at the top was a castle with many sea-blue spire towers, shaped like a bundle of huge sharp spears tied in one place, domineering and erected towards the sky.
Moss and the other twenty Lady Millen's personal guards looked very excited, they hadn't seen their hometown for nearly ten years, and many people couldn't help but have red eyes and sighed repeatedly.
But for first-time visitors to Balembaton, the main attraction is the coastal alleyway.
Thousands of sails crossed the sea, ships of all sizes came and went, and tens of thousands of ships were moored next to each other in the harbor of Xiangkou, and Moller even saw some ships grow wheels and sail to the shore to dock, obviously special magic ships.
There are also a lot of people on the dock, and there are many people transporting boxes of various sizes, loading and unloading goods, which is very lively. Moeller saw that except for some small ships that hired manpower to carry goods, large ships used huge magic equipment to lift dozens of tons of cargo at once for loading and unloading, which was very efficient.
"It's so prosperous here!" the group sighed as they approached the city gates along the wide coastal avenue, and as they looked around, they saw a crowd far denser than all the big cities they had ever seen before.
"Of course!" said one of Lady Millen's personal guards, "we at Barembaton not only have caravans coming by sea from other kingdoms, but even the Fedham 6 on the other side of the sea often have fleets coming over, and even the Sea Clan has business with us, so it is naturally very prosperous, and you will see even more surprising things in a moment!"
Eriba listened curiously, and was about to ask if there was anything more surprising, when he saw the knight, who had been laughing, looking ahead, and suddenly got up sternly, and sat upright on the horse. The other knights did the same, and the whole team suddenly became solemn and solemn.
Mole took advantage of the situation to look over, only to see a group of twenty knights wearing the same uniform as Puxiu and them coming from the front, for it should also be a high-ranking demon warrior, he respectfully said a few words to Puxiu, and after Puxiu waved his hand, he led the people into Mohler's team and escorted Lady Millen's carriage into the city.
The gates of Balembatten were huge, more than fifty meters wide, and the carriages and people came and went like a constant stream. The Duke of Leiden did not arrange any greeting ceremony at the city gate, and the whole team quietly entered the city gate. However, the size of the team of more than 70 people was not small, and there were many tall horses and cavalrymen wearing armor and uniforms, and the merchants who came and went couldn't help but give way to the road, and a few people with good eyes vaguely saw the strength of their team, and couldn't help but look sideways.
Walking down the wide white-slabbed streets, Moeller and the others at the end of the line felt that their eyes were almost out of sight, because the city was completely different from any big city they had seen before.
"Brother Moeller, look at that man!" Rex pointed to a man with blue skin and fan-like fins on his cheeks and head not far away, with a curious expression.
The person being accused looked at him with an unhappy face, his eyes bulging out of his sockets, and his mouth still had fangs, which was clearly a fish face, and his appearance was very scary. But Rex was not afraid, he laughed happily and said, "It's the fish-man of the Sea Clan!"
Although it was the first time I had seen it, the memory of the dragon's inheritance did not prevent Rex from recognizing this strange man who looked completely different from humans. The pedestrians on the road did not have any special reaction to the fish people, and they were no longer surprised because of the trade with the sea tribe.
"Elf!" Eriba, who was originally startled by the fish-man on the side, suddenly saw several elegant figures in the distance, and also exclaimed.
Although a few elves only showed a side face and disappeared into the crowd, they left a deep impression on Mole and them, and the elves were indeed handsome men and beautiful women! Although this kind of neutral and delicate beauty did not meet Moler's appetite, he had to admit that these elves were indeed as beautiful as if they could light.
After a while, Moeller and the others not only saw the fishmen of the Sea Clan, but also saw the elves, but also saw the humans with black skin and brown-red skin, judging from their different appearances and clothes, they were obviously foreign humans.
Originally, Moeller and Urruti could still maintain a little composure, but when they saw a garlic-nosed man with thick golden hair spreading to his neck, and his body was so tall and muscular that he was almost twice the size of ordinary people, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise: "Orc!"
They actually saw the orcs that were said to be extinct in Visby 6, and they were the most powerful race among the orcs - the Golden Lionmen!
"That's the orcs of the big 6 of Fedham, and the orcs on the big 6 are a little more powerful than the human forces!" explained Pace, who watched them with a smile.
In fact, Pace, Mitterrand, and Banolan have seen this for the first time, but as the noble children of the royal city, even if they haven't seen it, they have always seen information such as magical images, and they have long been mentally prepared for the special situation of Balombottom City, so they are not too surprised.
Banolan smiled and said: "This is a commercial center that gathers all races from all over the world, not only the sea tribes, elves, barbarians and orcs on the opposite side, but also mountain dwarves, but they are generally not seen on the street, only the bars and artisan workshops are easier to see. She didn't tell Urruti and them in detail in advance, she just wanted to see what surprised them at the moment!
The knights in front were hurrying solemnly, but the mercenaries of Moeller and them were making an unorganized and undisciplined fuss behind, but perhaps they understood their surprise, and no one stopped them, but as they walked to the top of the mountain, the flow of people became less and less, and there were few people in sight on the widening road, and the speed of the whole team also increased a lot, and Moeller and they stopped talking.
The castle on the top of the hill opened the door of the outer wall, but there were only two guards standing guard by the door, and there was no one to welcome it, and the cavalry that had arrived outside the city before coming was the only welcome for the city lord to his daughter.
Mole and they stopped in the small square in front of the castle, unconsciously, feeling that the atmosphere of the team was a little depressing, Madame Millen was led by the hand of Puxiu, and walked up the stairs into the castle, no one invited Mole and their mercenaries to enter, so they had to follow the knights to the side of the castle to settle the "stable" where the monster mounts were installed.
"He is worthy of being a duke, his status is comparable to that of a king, and without any indication, we grassroots mercenaries cannot be approached. Sitting on the stone bench outside the Mole stable, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
But then it occurred to him that he had a letter that Mephistopheles had asked him to help pass on, and he didn't know how to pass it over, and if he could read it later, let him help pass it on—Moller thought.
Even if the other party was a duke, Moeller had no interest in rushing to get in touch.
However, they didn't rest for long, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came and took them to the inside of the castle, and settled them in a spire to the south, the environment was very comfortable, not only did each of them have a luxurious large room, but also a greenhouse flower room separated by magic crystals on the sunny side. In the hall near the flower room, they were received and enjoyed a seafood meal, and the butler said apologetically that the Duke of Leiden had not seen his daughter for a long time, and he was excited, and he did not have the energy to entertain the guests at this time, and hoped that they would forgive the negligence of the hospitality.
Moller's heart is worthy of being a profound nobleman, which not only shows the majesty of power, but also makes people unable to fault etiquette. However, after the meal and everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Moller was about to meditate with Rex when the butler who had entertained them knocked at the door and said that the Duke had invited him over.
