Chapter 394

Ankhap, the central port of steam lake, the southern inland sea of Phelan continent, is now under the control of the badid family of the saispetz aristocratic Union.

The huge port city is divided into two urban areas from south to north. The lias District of the north city belongs to the aristocracy and the rich. It is full of Baroque aristocratic manors, with thick appearance and free structure, while the interior is filled with Byzantine luxury decoration.

Gretel cathedral is the tallest building in ankhaip, with a 137 meter high spire tower standing side by side in front of the door, where you can see the whole city.

At this angle, the crowd at the port looks like swarms of climbing ants, and the masts and sails at the wharf look like rows of mirages in the fog of the sea. If it is not the cold and humid sea breeze passing by at any time, this kind of landscape always seems to make people have the illusion of falling into a dream.

Unlike the clean streets and luxury shops in the North City, the south city is one of ankhaipu's most noisy port areas, including a large market adjacent to the wharf.

The market covers a wide area, including not only the offices of the chambers of Commerce and trade associations, but also the fish market, the slave market, the auction house, and the blacksmith shop and the alchemy shop that provide weapons protection, magic goods for mercenaries and armed sailors.

To the south of the big market are many taverns at the port wharf. Of course, many of them also operate hotels and cabins upstairs, which belong to the unique entertainment red light area of the pan steam Lake seaport.

In the dark side of the city, which is full of snakes, insects, mice and ants, there are many hideous gangs and thugs in the dark alleys.

At this time, a group of people in cloaks are walking through the alleys of many wharf pubs. This group of people dressed in simple clothes, didn't talk much during the journey, deliberately lowered their heads and hid their faces under hoods.

Some of them can still see their handsome faces, which are different from ordinary people's. In addition, their hair is as bright as gold and silver outside their hoods and the sharp ears in their hoods. The Golden Gloves with keen eyes and ears in the port area can fully judge that some of them should be the rare elves in the human city.

However, it is surprising that ankhaipu's greedy Golden Gloves, as if they were blind and deaf at this time, turned a blind eye to the gold coins in front of them that could walk on their own. Even if they occasionally peep at the stranger's true face, they will quickly look away, like avoiding the plague, and quietly disappear in the dark of the alley.

It's not that the dark forces of ankhaip don't like gold coins, but because this seaport is different from other seaports of the steaming lake. It has a very unique and distinctive feature. Elves are not uncommon here. Although they are not permanent residents, they are also not slaves or goods.

Since the 11th generation of the badid family was allied with the court of Anke, Anke elves have saved the city's fate from war three times in the past 100 years.

At the same time, the animal fur, wood, spices and herbs taken from the forest are also the biggest factors for the sustainable prosperity of ankhead.

This human seaport city, no matter the noble and rich merchants in the North City, or the big and small gangs in the South City, gradually realized that they could also make huge profits in the trade with the Anke elves compared with taking risks to capture the elves slaves.

What's more, this group of people and elves mixed up in the tavern lane, the profile of the strip under the cloak, also shows that they are not unarmed, probably a mixed mercenary group with rich adventure and experience.

Rather than provoke such enemies, the Golden Gloves might as well take advantage of the setting sun and try their luck in the most busy market at this time of the day, and perhaps find a few fat sheep that lack vigilance.

……

Miller Lars's face slightly twitched, looking at a thick layer of unknown filth on the edge of the canal, and the thick liquid on the surface of the foam, which only felt a tumbling in the stomach, and the natural aversion to the human creature seemed to have deepened one by one.

"Your Highness Ferrar, have you ever visited any human city like ankhaip?" Millaras turned his head and asked softly to his companion.

"Your Highness, millaras, what do you mean?" Qin Lun casually stepped on the sewage in the alley and asked with a smile, "did you cross the sea from comanso to jondar without passing other human cities along the way?"

"Well, to the east of comanso forest is dragon bay. We cross the falling star sea with the help of sea demons provided by Cannes fishermen, and then arrive at jonadar through the Weihong sea area. On the way, we have experienced several sea storms, but we haven't replenished in the human seaport." Millaras frowned and explained.

"I see!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed a light, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "the most noble green lotus only grows in the mud. Your highness, when you meet the so-called upper class people of mankind one day, you may understand what the" emperor's new clothes "is!"

"I will see!" Although millaras was puzzled, he nodded and smiled, "it's a blessing to be able to walk with a rich royal family. Ferrar, maybe we should abandon each other's identity and call each other by name? ""As you wish, millaras!" Qin Lun leaned slightly and nodded gracefully.

"Two gentlemen, I've got a volunteer guide!" When Qin Lun and millaras were talking softly, stark came running from the front, carrying a short human in the palm fan's big hand.

"Poof!" The acting leader of the fortress team threw the man at Qin Lun's feet with a light throw. "This guy is Saigon, a local snake near here. He should be familiar with the wharf area."

"Big, my Lord, I'm Saigon of Byron. I don't know where I can help you." After being thrown at Qin Lun's feet by stark, the thin thief bent his upper body and crawled on the ground, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his narrow eyes and bones were rolling, and his right hand was quietly extended into his arms.

"Look up and put your hands where I can see them. Don't act recklessly!" Qin Lun crouched down smilingly, felt a fist sized cloth bag from his arms, and shook it in the thief's ear.

When the thief's body was stiff, he slowly took his right hand out of his arms and spread it out in front of him. The crisp and pleasant sound of gold coin collision relieved his tension greatly. He saw many elves mercenaries in the tavern, but few elves would like to deal with such underground mice.

Although there are many Anke Elves as mercenaries and bounty hunters in this city, elves mercenaries with a strong sense of justice generally have no good feelings for the Golden Gloves and gang thugs in the port area.

Sometimes, there will be bloody conflicts between the two in the underground world. The gangsters who fall into the hands of the elves often disappear, and the city guard will not offend the elves because of such a small matter, so Saigon will not worry about his own life.

"Don't worry, we have no malice, just want to find out the regular freighters to surdor!" Qin Lun took a gold coin from the purse and handed it to the thief's palm.

Looking at the gold coin on the palm of his hand, the thief's narrow eyes flashed a little light. His right hand skillfully turned over, and the gold coin disappeared at the cuff.

"My Lord, the business of our Byron meeting is limited to a few nearby taverns and hotels, but I can help you to contact the old man KAP of the black owl, who is the head of the dockworkers' meeting and knows every merchant ship of ankhaip as well..." The thief grinned, showing a row of disordered yellow teeth, and forced a fake smile on his face.

"Well, you're very discerning. If I'm satisfied with the information, then this bag of Collins is all yours!" Qin Lun shook his purse, pointed to stark and smiled, "but be smart, don't play tricks. My buddy will go with you. He is no less powerful than a high-level fighter. You should have seen him! "

"Yes, my Lord!" The thief showed a frightened expression and lowered his head deeply to cover up his greed and cruelty in his eyes.

……

"Ferrar, why do you ask such a despicable human being? Did not the baddies prepare a merchant ship for us? " Looking at the far away thief and stark, elisting stepped forward two steps, leaned over to Qin Lun and asked in a puzzled whisper.

"Ha ha, our journey won't be very easy, and we can't leave too obvious goals for our opponents!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed and said lightly, "the badid family's boat will also set out on time, but we will not get on board."

"Ferrar, these gangsters have no bottom line. Will they be left behind when they ask for information? In ankhaipu, they may not dare to move elves, but when they get to the sea... " Millaras asked with some concern, "why don't you ask the guild? People with status and status at least have some scruples!"

"Well, it's true that the trade associations in the port area should have some professional ethics, but they can't keep secrets. The santalin association itself started out by controlling trade routes and sea trade. It's no different from telling them the whereabouts directly by asking for information from the trade association! " Qin Lun explained with a smile.

However, there was still a word in his heart that he didn't explain to elistin and millaras. It's very difficult to deal with the tail and hand of people with status and status after the event. However, snakes, insects, rats and ants like old Saigon and Kapur don't matter. The dead can't disclose secrets any more, and there will be no future trouble.

"Let's go. Let's find a hotel where we can stay. Other things will be left to captain Robin and them!" Qin Lun said with a smile, "I believe that by tomorrow, they will have taken care of everything!"
