Everyone walked through the long and narrow folding steps, walked into the city from the airport terminal, and walked along the long street towards the city center.
The city is not that big, with only one main street, but the main street is bustling with people. Even at dusk, it is packed with people and very lively.
There are a lot of trading firms on the main street, at least dozens of them. Most of these firms are engaged in fur goods business. There are also a large number of small traders on the street. The small traders carry a big basket on their head and hold it with one hand.
Holding the bottom edge of the wicker basket and holding the goods for sale in the other hand, they sell to the passers-by along the street. The vendors always have a faint smile on their faces, even if they are offensive when selling their goods.
, it’s hard to make people angry, the most you can do is give him a cold look.
When passing by a butcher's shop, Suldak saw a two-foot-long short-tailed fat lizard hanging from dozens of iron hooks. There were also several on the butcher's table. A local woman was standing on the meat table.
He picked and picked before going to the case, and finally picked up a lizard tail and put it in his basket. This lizard tail seemed to be only as thick as an arm, less than a foot long, and weighed only two pounds. He actually had to pay a silver coin plus thirty yuan.
A copper plate is not cheap at all.
The meats that often appear on the tables of the Green Empire are beef and yellow mutton. There may be some price differences for these two types of meat depending on the region, but they only cost between fifteen and twenty-five copper coins per pound.
Time, if it is bone-in ribs, it is much cheaper.
Suldak stopped in front of a stall selling beef, pointed to a thigh-thick eye strip on the meat table, and asked the stall owner:
"How much does this cost per pound?"
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, probably because he was not used to Suldak's accent, but then he reacted and said respectfully:
"Sir Knight, fifteen copper coins per pound."
Surdak nodded, but had no intention of buying it, and stepped forward to keep up with the moving crowd.
It seems that the living cost of ordinary people in Dar es City is not high. One silver coin can afford a delicious barbecue for Pingtong's family of three. Obviously this is a very comfortable life. Surdak also
I asked some vendors about the prices of vegetables and wheat flour, and they were all very cheap, basically the same as the prices in Ivorson City.
Most of the buildings in Dar es are made of sand and stone, and the surface of the building is also coated with a layer of colorful mortar. Some buildings are all light red or light yellow in color. These buildings generally only have two floors.
The rooftop is covered with various forms of clotheslines, and there are always various kinds of gauze and silk flying in the wind on the clotheslines.
Captain Kerry led everyone through the main street and arrived in front of a restaurant called Zhouzhihai. At this moment, a group of waiters stood at the door of the restaurant to greet everyone. The manager of the restaurant stood at the front. After seeing Captain Kerry,
Then he came up to us with a smile and said, "It's a great honor to host this dinner for you, Captain Kerry."
There was no smile on Captain Kerry's face. He just nodded slightly to the restaurant manager and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are everything arranged?"
Anyone who encounters unlucky things such as bird tides, ship crashes, and ship repairs during the voyage will not be in a good mood. In addition, the magic airship will need to be repaired in the future, and the injured will need corresponding treatment in the future.
Captain Kerry also needs to refund the tickets of some passengers, which requires Captain Kerry to pay out of his own pocket. It is estimated that this voyage will cost a lot of money.
"Everything is ready." the restaurant manager replied respectfully.
Captain Kerry walked into the restaurant directly without waiting for the restaurant manager to finish his words.
Everyone went straight to the second floor along the stairs of the lobby on the first floor. Captain Kerry booked the entire second floor of the restaurant and entertained the seventy-three passengers on the magic airship who were willing to help fight the bird tide. They waited for everyone to take their seats in the restaurant.
, the restaurant manager reappeared in front of everyone and asked Captain Kerry cautiously:
"Captain Kerry, will the dinner begin immediately?"
Captain Kerry nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's get started!"
The captain first expressed his sincere gratitude to everyone present, thanking everyone for lending a helping hand when the magic airship was in the most critical situation. In short, he said a lot of words of thanks before starting to eat.
Then it was dinner time. This dinner was quite sumptuous and full of local characteristics of Dar es. The lizard that Surdak saw on the way did not appear on the table. There was a sandworm.
Mustard soup remains fresh in Suldak's memory. The rest of the dishes are more common, but there are also many extremely delicious things, such as cheese and beef pie, sea buckthorn juice, etc.
After accepting Kerry's hospitality, Surdak and his party were arranged to stay for one night in the largest hotel in the city. The overtired Surdak almost lay on the bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already midnight. I got up from the bed and took a hot shower in the bathroom. After getting dressed, I looked in the mirror again. I saw that the young, muscular man with blond hair and blue eyes in the mirror was actually me. There would always be a chance.
An inexplicable sense of unreality.
Suldak was about to go downstairs to see if the hotel could still serve some breakfast at this time. Although it was almost noon, he only needed a bowl of oatmeal, white bread and fried eggs. As soon as he opened the door, he saw
When we arrived at the hotel, the waiter stood in the corridor and looked over carefully.
After confirming it again, the waiter walked towards Surdak and asked cautiously: "Are you the Knight of Surdak?"
"It's me!" Suldak stood in the corridor and closed the door of the room.
The waiter heard that Suldak had a foreign accent, so he deliberately slowed down his speaking pace and said slowly: "Viscount Owen Constantine and Captain Bright have told me that if you wake up, I must notify you."
They sounded like they wanted to talk to you, Sir Knight, can I reveal your whereabouts to them?"
Surdak did not expect that anyone would pay attention to him. He only thought that it was not a malicious pursuit, otherwise the waiter would not have told him this.
He said cheerfully: "Of course, this should have nothing to do with it!"
Hearing what Surdak said, the waiter seemed very happy and quickly bowed to Surdak: "Okay, thank you, Lord Knight."
Suldak nodded slightly to the waiter, passed him, and thought in his heart: 'This waiter will probably get two tips! That's why he is so happy...'
Then, Suldak thought about breakfast again, so he stopped, turned around and asked the waiter: "Oh, at this other time, do you still serve breakfast?"
"Breakfast has been suspended, Sir Knight, but you can still order morning tea at this time!" The waiter was stunned and immediately replied.
"Forehead……"
Suldak nodded again, turned and left the hotel corridor.
…
In the restaurant downstairs of the hotel...
"Really not ready to join us? I thought maybe..."
Bright, the leader of the Shining Adventure Group, was sitting in the restaurant and said to Suldak sincerely.
Surdak was struggling with the cream cake and fresh milk matcha in front of him. He wiped his lips, raised his head and said to Bright:
"No need. I am retiring from the army this time. I just want to return to my hometown and stay for a while. Too many of my companions died on the battlefield. We originally agreed... to return to Helensa together. It's a pity that we can't do it this time.
I’m the only one who came back.”
Bright said with regret on his face: "Well, if you want to join the adventure group, you might as well give priority to our Shining Adventure Group. If you are willing, I can give you the most favorable treatment."
Perhaps he thought of asking Surdak to give up the cabin before, which made the first meeting between the two not so pleasant.
Suldak took a sip of fresh milk matcha and said calmly: "It's really not necessary."
"Okay! I hope you can change your mind at any time." Bright said with some frustration.
Then he wrote another line on a note, handed it to Suldak, and said seriously: "This is the temporary contact address of our Shining Adventure Group in Bena Province. If you want to find us,
You can send a letter here. Sometimes we are on mission and cannot reply to you in time, but as long as I receive it, I will definitely reply to you..."
…
"Thank you for helping me. I owe you a favor. If there is anything you need me to do, please come to Constantinople in Naren City to find me."
The knight in shining armor named Michael Owen said this to Suldak on the magic airship.
A week later, the magic airship successfully arrived at Bena City in Bena Province.
