Chapter 162 Dilas Harbor
Dilas Harbor, located in the westernmost part of Yar Continent, a place facing the mist The tip of the land that extends in the sea, the junction of the Misty Sea and the Deathwhisper Strait, the end of the Mithril Trade Road.
If the city of gold, Itel Kan, is the trade capital of the entire Itel Federation, then Dilas Port is the trade king of the Federation Dark World.
Because, there is the largest black market in the entire Kingdom Federation-【Faceless Assembly】
Rare slaves, prohibited cultivation resources and alchemy materials, professionals of all levels Souls, unexplained high-end gear, and magical Rare Items…
No one asks where things come from, whether they’ve been stained with blood or not. Coming here, only pure buyers and sellers.
Although it is located in the Kingdom of Silverdale, the Port of Dilas actually maintains a semi-autonomous state all year round.
Except for the fact that some taxes are still paid to the kingdom every year, the will of the kingdom does not extend here at all.
.
….….
It was already evening when the two Anves arrived in Dilas.
The sunset is covered in purple clouds, giving the sky a slightly overcast gray-blue color. Huge crescent moons of silver and purple hang high on either side of the sky like two jewels in a velvet curtain.
The wonderful skylight interwoven with multi-colors casts a hazy and psychedelic color on the gray and white Black Tortoise rock buildings in the city, which is very exotic.
A brand new construction street lamp is erected on both sides of the rocky road. The bright pure white cold light dispels the darkness and illuminates the street scene of people coming, people going in the evening.
With the development of constructs, constructive street lamps, which are much cheaper than magic crystal lamps, have gradually become popular in the major kingdoms of the Federation.
Walking through the streets of this bustling harbour city, Anves and Chaom went to a local sailor’s pub called “The Corner Girl”.
Before coming to the Itel Federation, the family’s intelligence agency had already sorted out the information of Port Dilas for Anves.
At the moment of overwhelming majority, this seaman’s tavern closest to the port has the best news.
Looking up at the dingy tavern entrance, a faded wooden sign with a glamorous woman.
Anves pushed open the two old, heavy oak doors of the tavern and entered with Chom.
A hot air mixed with the smell of fish, alcohol, sweat, and various other unpleasant smells asserts the senses.
Dirty, noisy taverns crowded with mercenaries and sailors who were drunk to varying degrees. Some scantily clad women lie in the arms of men, giggling provocatively from time to time.
Hearing the door open, some eyes in the tavern were attracted.
But when they saw that the people who came in were two mercenaries with rough faces in armor, they moved away again boringly.
Avoid two wobbly, drunken men. And a prostitute trying to lean into his arms, smelling a pungent cheap perfume.
Anves walked to the low bar, sat down, raised his hand and tapped the wooden countertop.
The countertop is a patchwork of oak planks that have become oily black hair after years of countless polishing of sleeves and trousers.
“What would you like?”
A bartender with a large glass in his hand came over, looked at the two new mercenaries, and gestured to the sign next to him. Price list on a board.
“A glass of ale.”
Anves laughed, raising his hand on the table to reveal a Silver Coin with a crisscross pattern underneath.
This is the general Silver Coin of the Saint Messia Empire. Compared with the national currency, the currencies of the other Two Great Empires in the continent, and the currency of the strongest Three Great Kingdoms in the Federation, are in a small group in the Itel Federation. more popular in the kingdom.
Because of the special government, the Itel Federation does not have a federal currency, and it is still issued by each small kingdom.
Of course, it is said that the proposal to issue federal coins has already been submitted to the federal parliament by representatives of the small kingdom. It will be discussed in parliament in a few days and voted by a show of hands by parliamentary representatives.
“Too much, a glass of ale only costs two Copper Coins.”
The bartender glanced at the Silver Coin, poured a large glass of dark yellow ale, and placed it in the Anves in front of.
“One more question.”
Glancing at the foamy, cloudy surface of the poor ale, Anves didn’t touch the glass, just smiled at the bartender.
With a twinkle in his eyes, the bartender raised his hand and wiped the Silver Coin in his hand, then gestured to a wooden door behind the bar.
“This glass of wine counts as my invitation to you.”
Anves nodded, led Chom up, and entered the door.
“I don’t know which Chamber of Commerce’s master sent it…”
Glancing at the closed door, the bartender shook the head, picked up the glass of ale, and hummed. Gu Dong took a sip.
.
….….
Behind the wooden door is a small compartment, the light is very dim, only two small candles maintain the light.
On the veneer wall on one side of the compartment, there is a small square window, on the outside of the window is a round bar chair, and a silhouette in a black cloak sits behind the window .
“What do you want to know?”
When Anves sat down, the cloak silhouette spoke hoarsely.
“A black Sanzhi galleon, with oars on both sides, entered the port twice during the Sun Moon and Hearthfire Moon last year, and then returned to the depths of the misty sea.
I want to know, most recently, whether that black ship has appeared.”
After looking at the silhouette, Anves spoke slowly, describing the shape and voyage of the black ship.
“That black ship?”
The silhouette’s tone suddenly became a little weird, and he hooked the head.
“I know the sailboat you’re talking about, but it hasn’t been seen since Hearthfire last year.”
Speaking, the silhouette’s words stopped. After a moment, he looked at the two men dressed as mercenaries.
“However, we have recently obtained an unconfirmed gossip about the time of the black ship’s next port entry.”
“And this news requires a gold coin.”
Hearing this, Anves was stunned.
Then, he frowned, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
“An unconfirmed gossip, also a gold coin? Do you want to trick us?”
For Anves’ ‘dissatisfaction’, silhouette does not care about the shock the head.
“It is precisely because the source cannot be verified that we only accept one gold coin. Whether we need it or not is up to the two of us.”
Find out a Saint Messia Empire gold coin , Anves threw it into the window, pretending to be impatient.
“Tell me.”
Putting away the gold coin, the silhouette’s voice is somewhat mysterious.
“Two days later, the black ship will arrive in port again, and will stay for three days.”
“And, as a bonus, I can also reveal to the two of you the other for free. A piece of news.
You are not the first to come here to ask about the black ship, on the contrary, there have been dozens of people asking the same question over the past few months—”
“As for their identities, I think the two of you should judge for yourself.”
.
….….
Leave the tavern , Anves and Chaom found a random hotel to stay in.
Although the claimed source is unconfirmed, in fact, if there is no certainty.
Even if an intelligence businessman tells him there is no news, he will not use false news to smash his own brand.
For some reason, the pigeons kept caving today.
So there may be only one update
