Excited, Barossa told Chen Daolin what she knew about this legendary town.
It turned out that this so-called "zìyóu paradise" was indeed famous on the mainland! Even this fame spread far away to the elven clan in the depths of the frozen forest.
Speaking of which, the existence of this town is also quite legendary.
As early as more than a hundred years ago, in the late stage of the war between humans and aliens, the commander of the human race at that time, Duke Tulip, led the army to launch a counteroffensive, crushing the alien coalition army in one fell swoop.
It was this battle that completely established the victory of mankind. Forced the alien to bow his head.
Subsequently, the war ended, the aliens admitted defeat, and the Roland Empire was exhausted by the protracted war.
In the end, with the cooperation of Duke Tulip and the leader of the alien alliance, the elf king Luoxue, the two sides entered into post-war negotiations.
That negotiation directly divided the sphere of influence of alien races and humans, and the entire Roland Continent was bordered by the Kaspersky Line of the Roland Empire in the north, the territory of the Roland Empire in the south, and the habitat of the alien race in the north.
This situation is already the best that humanity can achieve.
The northern plains north of the Kaspersky Line are small, barren and uninhabitable, with vast ice-covered forests.
But the alien race, as the defeated side, had to sign such a peace treaty.
Since then, the area north of the Kaspersky Line has been alien - with the only exception being a small town located a few dozen miles north of the Eastern Fortress.
Although this town is geographically located north of the border of the Roland Empire, it should belong to the orcs. But this town is an exception.
Just because ...... This town is where Du Wei, the first Duke of Tulip, was the representative of the Roland Empire and signed a post-war treaty with the leaders of foreign giants!
At the time of the signing, the human army had already taken over the town, and the alien coalition had been defeated.
Most of the human army retreated south of the border, but the town remained occupied by the Rolands.
The orcs tried to send someone to take over the town several times, but the Roland Empire refused.
After several verbal battles and bickering between the two sides, the Roland Empire finally let go.
In fact, the reason for letting go is very simple: it is too difficult from a military point of view to continue to occupy such a small town in the territory of dozens of miles deep into the border of the orc kingdom.
The humans apparently didn't want to leave this monumental place for the orcs - after all, this was the place where the humans forced the aliens to sign a defeated treaty.
And the great and legendary Tulip First Duke Du Wei came up with a plan, he negotiated with the orcs, made an agreement, in order to prove that "humans and orcs will be friends forever, friendship will last forever", this town will be a forever neutral existence. As a place of zìyóu outside the two countries.
Both the Roland Empire and the Orc Empire took the initiative to give up their sovereignty over this town, and they were not allowed to send troops to occupy it, and they were not allowed to interfere with this neutral place.
Although the orcs were quite unwilling, after all, they were stronger than humans at that time, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.
As a result, the town has become a complete paradise in such an anarchic and stateless state.
When the army of the Roland Empire withdrew, some tribes of orcs originally wanted to come and settle in this town, but they did not expect that a considerable number of human residents had already been left in the town.
These first-generation human inhabitants were many retired proletarian veterans from the Roland Empire.
The town occupied by thousands of veterans is not something that ordinary orc tribes can gnaw down. At the beginning, the orcs didn't want to play yin, and wanted to organize a small tribe to pretend to be bandits to seize the town -- you know, in that era of war, most of these veterans were the elite of the rest of the battle!
To play with the mind, orcs are far from being the opponents of humans. Although the orcs later tried to mobilize some of the population to infiltrate the town, after the first ten years, it was completely squeezed out by the humans.
Later, I heard that a small number of orcs who finally stayed in the town were actually assimilated by humans, and even more orcs willingly served humans, serving as slaves and servants......
However, due to the contract, the orcs did not dare to send troops to openly occupy this town.
So, the town has been preserved.
After a hundred years, the town was sandwiched between the Orc Kingdom and the Roland Empire, and because of its special geographical location, it became an important channel for many private transactions between the two countries, and it could even be said that it became the largest market for smuggling transactions between the two countries.
The city's status as a hub for the north-south trade routes, combined with a hundred years of development, has grown from a few thousand people to tens of thousands today...... The name "Town" is actually much larger than many small cities in the Roland Empire in terms of size.
"The name of this town is 'Zìyóu Port'. Barossa's eyes lit up: "I heard that this name was given by the first Duke of Tulip, which means that this town will become a seaport on land." Because of its special geographical location, all kinds of rare goods from the south to the north will be gathered there, and they will be traded!"
"Land harbor?" Chen Daolin's eyes lit up, and he had a lot of curiosity and interest in this legendary "zìyóu port".
Coming from the real world, he knows very well that any zìyóu trading port is often an extremely prosperous and vibrant place.
And this town called "Zìyóu Port" is located in the middle of the two forces, and there is no official trade between the Roland Empire and the Orc Kingdom, all the transactions are from private transactions or smuggling...... These transactions, as long as a small percentage are gathered in this town, are enough to make this town one of the most prosperous places in the world!
Chen Daolin and Barossa were talking in a low voice, and when his face was full of curiosity and yearning, he heard the cold voice of the Messiah next to him: "Mr. Darling, what your elf friend said is good, but I'm afraid she thinks of this port town too well." ”
"Oh?" Chen Daolin raised his head, looked at the Messiah who was sitting in the carriage, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "What advice does the Duke have?"
Messiah smiled lightly: "Now this town, because it is a land that does not care about the two - the laws of the Roland Empire can't control it, and the orcs can't manage it. In such a town, with your cleverness, Mr. Darling, guess what things are most abundant?"
Chen Daolin pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I think there must be a lot of smuggling contraband." ”
He sighed and added: "Without official rectification, the transaction between these two countries is extremely profitable, especially those prohibited items, which must be smuggled with amazing benefits, without control, these things must be overflowing in this zìyóu port." ”
"Yes, this Zìyóu Port town is famous, and there is such a rule: as long as you pay for it, you can buy anything in Zìyóu Port!" Messiah said leisurely, and even deliberately glanced at Barossa, and said lightly: "Even the trade in the trade of elven slaves that has been banned by order in the empire is not taken care of in this zìyóu port, and when I passed through zìyóu port before going north this time, I heard that there was a slave trading team selling elf slaves not long ago." ”
Barossa's face turned pale, and anger welled up in her eyes.
"This elven friend doesn't have to look at me like that. The Messiah said lightly: "Most of the slave traders are from the orc kingdom. As far as I know, several of humanity's major trade unions have agreed not to participate in this sordid activity...... Of course, they only promise not to hunt, but buying is not forbidden. ”
"Hmph, no trade, no killing!" Chen Daolin suddenly said in his mouth.
Messiah's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Chen Daolin: "What you said is very reasonable." ”
After a pause, she continued: "In addition to the abundance of all kinds of illegal and prohibited trades, this is another famous mainland specialty of Zìyóu Port, Mr. Darling, guess what it is?"
Drugs, munitions?
Well, these are also prohibited transactions......
Chen Daolin thought about it and looked at the Messiah with a frown.
Seeing that Chen Daolin didn't speak, the Messiah actually showed a smug look in his eyes, these days the two chatted every day in fact, they were fighting openly and secretly, and it was rare to see this guy deflated, which made the young master of the tulip family quite happy in his heart, she smiled lightly, and said: "This other specialty is ...... Wanted!"
Chen Daolin's eyes immediately tightened.
"Since Zìyóu Harbor is not the territory of the Roland Empire, the laws of the Roland Empire naturally cannot control it. And because of the agreement with the orcs, the Empire's military and official forces were not allowed to enter the port of Zìyóu. Therefore, for a hundred years, this zìyóu port has become the best place for all desperate wanted criminals on the mainland and a paradise to get away with it. ”
The Messiah said: "All kinds of criminals on the continent, no matter what kind of great sin they have committed, whether they are wanted by the Empire or hunted down by the Church, as long as they have the ability to escape from the northern border and enter the sphere of influence of this zìyóu port, they are equivalent to entering heaven, which is a region that does not care about either side." It can be said that this zìyóu port is full of all kinds of people from the Roland Empire with 'hidden identities'. And...... In recent years, some of the people in the orc kingdom who have committed serious crimes have also fled to the port of Zìyóu to find a way to survive. Therefore, the second famous mainland specialty of this zìyóu port town is...... Wanted!"
