Chapter 432 Encounter

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
Since this trip was quietly gone, naturally no one would welcome him.

Therefore, Otto did not plan to go straight to the castle from the beginning. No words could be as real as what he saw with his own eyes. He planned to spend a day or two to observe the prince's territory, and then find local mice to learn about the information.

As soon as he stepped onto the pier, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

This is…a pier that a borderland can have?

I saw a pier area made of reddish-brown bricks and stones within hundreds of steps along the river bank. There was a trestle bridge every distance, and there was a sign at the connection between the pier and the pier, with the number written on it.

Otto counted roughly, and there were twenty-six of them neatly arranged, like tentacles extending from the shore, some covered with snow, while others exposed brown wooden boards, which showed that even in the Demon Moon, there were still people in the town's docks.

In contrast, the canal dock in the Gray Castle King Capital is less than half the length and number of trests here!

But what surprised him even more was the ships docked at the dock.

An unprecedented gray wide-hull lined up and docked not far ahead.

They have seven or eight ships in total, with shallow waterlines, neither sails nor masts, and the size of the hull is not as big as that of a paddler.

The most unique thing about these weird ships is that they have a huge wooden wheel on each side and a thick iron pipe protruding from the center, which is different from any inland sailboat.

Otto watched for a long time until the chill came from his head, and he didn't understand how these weird ships could move.

After slapping off the snow on his head, he put away his doubts and decided to follow the crew into the town first.

The Shunfeng, from the royal capital, obviously would not only transport itself. Otto saw the crew carry bags of goods off the sailboat and pile them aside the dock.

Several guards in black uniforms recorded something with pen and paper, and occasionally picked out two bags to check, as if they were inspecting the goods.

Who are they?Mercenary invited by the buyer?Otto walked to the captain.

Ha, mercenary?The latter grinned, these people were patrolmen in Border Town.

He couldn't help but be stunned, patrol?

Doesn’t that mean you run into a group of robbers?

When I left the inner city of the capital for the first time, I was blackmailed by patrol members. This situation was similar everywhere. They were equivalent to the opposite of underground rats, but the work they did was almost the same as mice. The difference was that they charged higher fees and often took money without doing anything.

But what surprised Otto was that the captain was smoking his pipe leisurely, without stopping them from checking, nor did he take out a few silver wolf and let them leave quickly.

When I first came here, I thought it was the same as you thought. The captain seemed to see what he thought. The patrol team here was different. As long as they follow their rules, there is no need to pay any fees before entering the market.

Patrol...rules?

Otto frowned. Is even robbers reasonable in this place? And they also know how to record with pen and paper. Although it is likely just some crooked symbols, it is also incredible enough.

What are they recording?He asked.

Types and quantities of goods...especially wheat, the captain spreads his hand, and checks it after it is shipped to the market to avoid selling the food to others here in the middle, and the food can only be sold by the lord.Of course, there is no wheat in my cargo, so the inspection will be faster.

When all the bags were brought into the carriage, the group left the dock and headed towards the market along the spacious streets, Otto suddenly realized that his eyes were not enough.

Is this really the most remote territory in the Graycastle Kingdom?

Looking at the flat hard road under your feet, the neat and beautiful houses on the street, and the people coming and going, they are no less than the Glow City, the capital of Dawn.

As a nobleman, he has seen magnificent and magnificent buildings. Neither the Dawn Spire nor the Sun Hall can match these two or three-story buildings.

However, there is only one Dawn Spire, and below it, it is still surrounded by dilapidated houses, muddy paths and sewage can be seen everywhere.

But here, he could not find a slightly old house, as if these residences had emerged at the same time.

You looked surprised Ah, the captain laughed, don't care, everyone who is new to the arrival will show you like this.I have to say that Bianfeng Town is a magical place. Do you see the three-story building over there?I didn't have it when I came last time.

I heard... this was a base built for mining.

I heard that too, but who knows the truth? He poked his nose. You know, some rumors will always become unrecognizable when they are too much.Perhaps it was because there was a lot of gold hidden in the mine on the north slope that His Majesty the King sent his son here... After all, he was his biological child.

Wait, what is that?!As he walked through a flat square, Otto suddenly saw two huge colorful balls floating side by side in the air, with a pair of banners hanging below, with eye-catching words written on the cloth. On one side, welcome to Bianfeng Town, and on the other side, you can get citizen benefits by joining now.

Are you asking about the above or the below?The captain is noisy, I don’t know how they got the flying ball up. As for the one below... you can go to the east end of the square to find out the situation. There are often posting notices from the lords, and this banner is to attract travelers, merchants and refugees from all over the world.

They even want refugees?Otto said in surprise, what is citizen welfare?

You can take the job here, pay subsidy food in the first two months, and get a shelter from the wind and rain. It sounds very good, right?The captain explained disapprovingly that it was not so easy to approve. Several of my crew members tried it, but no qualified lord asked not to have any unfaithful intentions, not to believe in the church, and to have no criminal experience.And stealing is also a crime. Oh my God, which sailor has never stole anything?In addition, in my opinion, although this place looks quite prosperous, it actually has many shortcomings.

for example?

There are too few places to have fun, there are no casinos or brothels, and there are not even a wandering mantle on the street. He spits out. If he lives in such a place for a long time, can't he suffocate himself to death?

The market was just north of the square. While the captain and his group were going to deliver the goods, Otto decided to stroll here alone.

According to the other party, you can see a lot of strange goods in the convenience market here and the boutique market on the other side. This is the case. From eggs to dried fish, cloth clothes to farm tools, there are a wide range of goods filled with rows of stands. As long as you stay in front of the stall for a while, someone will come up to the camp to say it.

No matter what the outcome of the talks with the Fourth Prince would be, he was already firmly attracted by the town.

Just then, a commotion occurred in the crowd.

He turned his head and found two women walking towards this side.

One person was wearing a long black ponytail and wearing a black robe. His facial features were beautiful, but his cold expression made people feel difficult to get close to.

The other person is completely different. Her expression is soft, and her every move shows elegance and calmness, which makes people think of the warm spring breeze.

The shaking bright blonde hair was like the light of the morning light.

Otto felt his blood boiling when he saw the blonde woman.

His hands trembled slightly, and he rubbed his eyes repeatedly, be sure that he had read it wrong.

Andrea Quinn!He could no longer hold back his excitement, and he couldn't help but shout.
