Tiha Harbour in the south of Nord,

The midday sun was so fierce that it didn't look like autumn weather, and the sun shone on the sea quite warmly, and between merchant ships and merchant ships, some sailors and sailors took advantage of the short stay to take a comfortable bath

Waves and laughter bring life to the newly restored port of Tiha, where the salinity of the Nord Sea is already relatively low, especially at the landing.

The influx of water from the open sea, which brings a large amount of fishery resources to the Nord Sea every year, is the peak of the merchant anchorage

The more than sixty new mooring docks in the port of Tiha are full of merchant ships from Vicchia and Salander, all of which are hoisted with the blue falconry flag of the Falcon dynasty.

These merchant ships, with a maximum displacement of more than 500 tons, and a five-story high cabin, looked like a floating city on the sea, and at the smallest were more than 50 tons, and were sandwiched between the behemoths.

Each ship was laden with heavy cargo, and some merchant ships had a waterline almost close to the side of the ship, and the gentle spray of the waves could flood the edge of the deck

The heavy hull of the ship will be splashed with layers of white water with the waves, and a medium-sized merchant ship with a displacement of about 200 tons will slowly dock at the port and dock at the 46th berth of the port of Tiha.

The sails of this merchant ship are painted with very strange symbols, and on the side of the ship is erected a nondescript shield female wall, saying that it is a merchant ship and has the feeling of a warship, and the docked hull rubs against the stones of the pier, making a squeaking sound.

The thick rope was thrown from the ship, and several sailors quickly slid along the cable to the dock, and then used the cable to firmly fix the merchant ship, and the gangplank was lowered from the middle.

The merchant shipowner above jumped out of exhaustion and hurriedly prepared to negotiate the price with the wholesalers of the docks.

An experienced wholesaler only needs to look at it to know that it must have come from the Salander region, and this kind of exotic merchant ship is obviously a Normandy merchant in the south of Salander,

There were wholesalers waiting there at the wharf for a long time, pulling business, and when they saw the merchant shipowner disembarking, they immediately walked up.

"Anquila, this time you have to give a reasonable price." The young merchant ship owner greeted each other in a strange and awkward spoken language, and although the accent was a little different, it did not affect the communication between the two sides

The shipowner was only about twenty years old, and he showed very white teeth when he spoke.

"10,000 gold coins, this is already very kind! I haven't sold out of the things you shipped last time!"

A wholesaler insisted on the price of his land with a blank face, and his face made the young shipowner feel that even if the sky thundered at this time, he would never add a single gold coin, and his face was kind and black

"So little?"

Another older merchant ship owner frowned and said, "He looked to be in his thirties, and his skin was blackened by the sea breeze and the sun

The wholesale merchant knew that his name was Poccala, and he was not a Norman, but from the farther south of the continent of Obaro, where the temperature was said to be very hot, and most of the people were like this black man called Poccala, who could only see two eyes, and even the Obaros called them Mos Alonso, which means black,

The sea water dripped down on his body, and he didn't even have a chance to stay, and he was unloaded to the ground with smooth skin in a moment, but he was a little very conspicuous with white hair, and the dark color of his whole body was set off.It was particularly eye-catching.These merchants from other continents had only recently come with the Normans, and they had crossed the vast oceans, and the goods from other continents could always be sold for a lot of money, even if it was a very ordinary thing, after more than 2 months of sailing, it would become more than ten times more valuable,...,

"Popala, don't you know, it's hard to do business right now!" said one of the wholesalers with a sigh, not even mentioning the price.

"But last time I came and said that I could sell it for 12,000 gold coins!" the young merchant ship owner was a little anxious, if he sold it for 10,000 gold coins, then they would make very little money on this trip, and if the wages of the sailors on board were included, they might even lose money, and nothing could be worse than this.

"It's been hard to do business for the past two months!" the Nords have imposed heavy taxes on goods," the wholesale merchant complained, "All our goods to the Dorok Mountains have been doubled in price, and you would say that was last time... You see, the number of merchant ships on the docks is at least half!" said the wholesaler, pointing to the merchant ships around him with an ugly face.

"This ......"

The two poor foreign merchant ship owners looked around, and it was true that the number of merchant ships anchored at the nearby dock was much less, and the dock, which was busy last time, was empty by a third this time.

Many of the smaller merchant ships I had seen last time were gone, and at last two poor merchant shippers walked through the docks, and found that the prices of the wholesale merchants were already the highest

"How so? Wouldn't those damned Nords do business anymore......" said the young merchant shipowner with emotion, and could only agree to the wholesalers' demands.

As the porter began to carry the goods, he stood on the high mast and looked at the empty port around him in a daze.

What a good port, he sighed in his heart, even in the Obarro continent, such a port can be described as prosperous, the port is always full of large and small merchant ships, every merchant ship is full of goods, the dock porters are busy like ants, it looks very prosperous, but now, ......

"By the way, Anquila, do you remember the thing you brought?" Pokhara, a black man who was inspecting the hull of the ship next to him, straightened his back, looked at the fish on the sea level in the distance, suddenly thought of something, and hesitantly reminded Anquela, "I basically didn't make anything in this transaction, maybe that thing is really useful"

"You mean this?" the young merchant owner took out a winged falcon heraldic ring from his bosom, first looked at the sun carefully, this ring was too ordinary, ordinary has no characteristics at all, he said to himself, "Well, no one can say, it is better to find someone to ask"
