Chapter 292: Notorious
City of Thieves.
Chen Mu lives in an inn in the eastern part of the city, the name is really retro, which makes him feel inexplicably intimate, so he lives here.
There is an inn that is also a very famous inn in the city of fire thieves, and it is said that the proprietor behind it is the famous sea pirate group "Black Flag", and it is naturally impossible for an inn to have a store only in the city of fire theft.
In the entire coastal city of Doom Point, there are basically their branches, but they do not distinguish between priority and priority, and they do not say which store is the main store or anything, they are all the same business standards.
After coming to the City of Fire Thieves, Chen Mu heard the most talked about "black flag", which is said to cover most of the smuggling and smuggling business in Doom Corner.
For no other reason, the Black Flag is the most powerful pirate group in the waters around Cape Doom, and its pirate ships crisscross the oceans, at least in the waters around Doom, and are unrivaled as the supremacy of the seas.
No matter what the origin or background of the fleet, as long as you want to enter and exit the waters near the Cape of Doom, you have to pay tolls to the "Black Flag".
But this is only limited to the waters around the Cape of Doom, and further southeast, it is not at all a place where humans can have the final say, and it is the "uncharted sea" that most seafarers talk about.
The entire outer ocean of the East China Sea is called the "Uncharted Sea", and the inland sea, which is close to the human islands, is actually part of the "Uncharted Sea", but humans prefer to call it the "Golden Sea".
The merfolk mainly live in the "Golden Sea", forming a natural barrier between humans and the mermaids, but the overall strength of the merfolk is simply weak compared to the mermaids.
The vast majority of the entire "Uncharted Sea" is the world of the Fish-Men Clan, and these terrifying Fish-Men often drive and control huge sea monsters to plunder everywhere.
Not to mention the ordinary fleet, even the "Black Flag" known for its ferocity in the waters near Doom Corner, and the pirate ships under their command rarely dare to cross the line and go deep into the "uncharted sea".
Compared to the Fish-People, these ferocious pirates are as weak as lambs.
If it weren't for the fact that the sea near the Cape of Doom is too remote, and it is close to the permafrost wasteland in the north, the climate is cold, and it is not liked by the sea creatures, and the fish-people hate such an environment, otherwise there is no "black flag", which would have been occupied by the fish-people bloodbath.
But whatever the reason, the current situation is that the waters near Doom Horn are rarely invaded by the Fish-Folk Clan, and it has become a rare paradise for human fleets.
The "Black Flag" is the absolute leader of this sea area, they have the final say on matters at sea, and they can also manage coastal affairs for three points, which is very disadvantageous.
This sea area is also the essence of the Doom Horn, going north can communicate with the hinterland of the permafrost wasteland where the demon clan is located, and going south can hook up the depths of the mysterious sea occupied by the monster clan.
Transit into the East China Sea through the uncharted sea, and then go all the way to the west, you can also connect to the eastern border of Middle-earth, which is the base of the "Business Alliance", which is said to be the only one you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.
Not to mention that the Cape of Doom itself is part of the country of eagles, and it can naturally do business with various tribes in the grassland, so it is said to be the "Cape of Doom" here, but in fact it is really a "cornucopia", full of business opportunities, adventurers and speculators can be seen everywhere.
Every day, there are so many stories happening here, many people get rich overnight, and many more die without a place to bury, which is the origin of the name "Doom Horn", and it is also his most attractive place.
As long as you are brave enough, there are always countless opportunities waiting for you here, of course, the ending is rarely good, and most of the bold guys die quietly here, nourishing this sinful land with their rope lives, and blooming the flowers of bewitching desire.
Ahem, Chen Mu naturally doesn't have so much sentimentality, after he lived in an inn, there were only three things he was most concerned about - the whereabouts of the female devil, the solution to the metalization of the body, and the ticket to the East China Sea.
There is also half a thing, and that is to collect mysterious items containing Yuan Energy, which is very important, but it can only be counted as half a thing.
There is no way, such a mysterious item is too difficult to find, it basically depends on luck, and it is impossible to find a proper one, so Chen Mu just went with the flow and tried his luck, and did not plan to spend too much time and energy on it.
This morning, Chen Mu got up early, he lived in a single room on the third floor, the room can be called simple, that is, a bed, plus a dirty, smelly separate bathroom.
It is worth mentioning that under this toilet is the kind that leads directly to the sea, and the sea area at the end of the pipe is full of urban sewage, and the sea breeze blows and smells of stool, which is disgusting to death.
In this environment, in all the inns in the outer city of the Fire Thief City, it is still at the upper level, and the cost of Chen Mu's room is one silver carat per day, and there is no discount at all, how long to stay is at this price, and there are not many empty rooms.
The reason is very simple, the environment of most cities here is very poor, there is basically no urban planning, and the level of dirty, messy and poor is almost a fight with the notorious Middle Ages.
In many cities, there is no such thing as sewage discharge, and it is dumped casually, and sewage flows sideways on the streets, and urine and urine can be seen everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will step on the "bomb".
Even those inner cities, which are generally more strictly managed than the outer cities, are not much better in this regard, and at most they have arranged for personnel to clean them up regularly.
It is said that only those high-end cities will have the legendary urban underground drainage system, and will also make plans and requirements for the sewage discharge of citizens.
For example, the most core city in the world, "Zhongjing", as the capital of the "Ouqi Dynasty", naturally has a huge underground drainage system, and it was planned and built as early as when the first European emperor ordered the construction of this city.
Even so, it is said that when the "Zhongjing" was built, the resources consumed were also a staggering astronomical amount, and the financial bankruptcy of the nascent dynasty at that time was almost bankrupt, and the cost was huge, which can be seen.
If it were to be put in the present day, let alone build such a city, even the daily maintenance expenditure on it would not be affordable for the current royal family.
In fact, as the European Emperor generation is not as good as the generation, the imperial family is declining, and it has long been unable to afford the maintenance and repair costs of "Zhongjing".
To this day, it is said that the most majestic and spectacular megacity in the whole world, but in fact less than a quarter of the area is still in use.
The rest of the part has long been damaged and abandoned due to various natural and man-made disasters.
