Chapter 776: Advanced port facilities

"The large sailboat slowly docked at the port.

From a distance, the crew couldn't see the facilities of the port clearly. But ta they approached, they realized that the port was very impressive. The pier was not made of wooden frames, but of beautiful cement platforms.

Cement was a rare material even in Lost City, and only a few noble houses used it. It was not popularized. The crew could not imagine that the port even used cement to build the pier.

"What an amazing pier!"

"No wonder, Godfather of Westwind City likes to do things in a big way."

"But this city is not Westwind City, is it?"

"Maybe Westwind City is expanding? Will they start a war with West Gran?"

"Why expand? The queen of West Gran and Godfather of Westwind City are in a relationship. They work together to build and develop, it has nothing to do with expansion."

"What West Gran? Are you an idiot? Now there is only the Kingdom of Gran. There is no East or West Gran anymore."

The crew discussed for a while, and the sailboat finally stopped. The captain was still cautious and did not dare to disembark easily. He only sent a few crew members to the shore, who loudly shouted at a foreman on the pier, "We need a large amount of food and water to support a hundred people until we reach Lost City."

The foreman smiled and said, "No problem! As long as you can pay for it, there is no limit to the amount of food and water you need."

The crew paid the money and waited for the workers to bring the food and wine. However, they were surprised to find that the foreman on the pier did not move, but took out a small crystal ball from his pocket and shouted into it, "Freight team, freight team, Pier 17, 40 barrels of wine, 40 barrels of black bread, come quickly." (TL: I have no idea why it became wine)

The captain thought carefully and agreed. The relationship between the Church of Darkness and the Kingdom of Gran was very bad right now, and it was rumored that the trade between Lost City and the Kingdom of Gran had been cut off. A large amount of cargo was piled up in Lost City, not shipped to the Kingdom of Gran, only transiting there before being sent to the northern desert kingdom and the Kingdom of Norma.

Merchants were actually very opposed to this kind of thing, especially sea merchants. Their stage of activity was the ocean and the whole world, not just one continent or one kingdom. They hoped to be happy and do business on the world stage. Practices done by the Church of Darkness, which blocked ports and did not provide goods to the Kingdom of Gran, were really hated by sea merchants.

"Okay, I've got some good things from the New World here," the captain leaned over the ship's rail and shouted, "there are chili peppers, sweet potatoes, some rubies and sapphires, and a very large piece of golden dog head! I wonder if anyone here needs them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the foreman took out a crystal ball and shouted inside it, "Commodity Exchange, this is Pier 17. A Commander has arrived here who can provide chili peppers, sweet potatoes, some rubies and sapphires, and a very large piece of dog head gold... Oh? Three merchants have registered their interest in purchasing these items? Okay, please transfer these merchants' phone numbers..." (TL: dog head gold is the only term I can think of when translating . Do correct me if theres a better term for it)

He hung up the phone and said to the captain, "Good news, three merchants need these items, and they will arrive soon."

The captain was completely confused, "I want to know, that crystal ball in your hand, is it a strategic communication crystal ball? Can a small foreman on a pier just use it casually? "

"It's different, this one is made of small pieces of crystal, with no images, only sound, low cost, and has entered the civilian field," the foreman smiled happily, "Of course, it's still quite expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, but ordinary nobles and wealthy people can already buy it. This one is not mine, it's the public property of the Port Commodity Exchange."

The captain: "..."

Soon, three merchants arrived with their entourages, one of whom was actually Robb's old friend, a wandering dwarf merchant. He hadn't been able to get goods into Lost City for a long time and was eager for chili peppers and sweet potatoes. The other two merchants were also interested in the captains gems and dog head gold. The three merchants quickly divided all the goods on the ship, loaded them onto their large carts, and happily drove away.
