The Port of Kania is located on the coast of the Staret Sea in the Principality of Seran in the Southern Alliance, close to the mouth of the Dalinis River. This river originates from the Glen Mountains and flows westward into the Sea of Starlight north of the port after crossing the Principality of Seran.
.
The Port of Cania is one of the largest seaports in the southern part of Grant. The busy dock area is filled with sailing ships of all sizes. Steam sailing ships are loading and unloading passengers. There are vendors running on the shore, selling cigarettes, snacks and various port goods.
Souvenirs, newspaper boys riding bicycles shuttled back and forth, shouting the news headlines in the newspapers.
The unloading area is much more chaotic, with freight wagons blocking the road during the morning rush hour.
The carriage drivers yelled at each other to give way to each other, and pedestrians walked among the crowded carriages, turning a deaf ear to the obscenities in their ears. Most of them were porters working on the dock and sailors disembarking to drink.
Chesa Street is a bustling street that connects to the dock. On one side of it is the dock area. This morning, the northern part of the street near the unloading area had already been blocked into a spectacular parking lot.
Hundreds of carriages are crowded here, and the carriage drivers are anxiously cursing each other. The hot tropical sun shines on people's heads, like a large amount of chili powder sprinkled in hot oil, which makes the hot atmosphere on this street even more intense!
Three young men carrying backpacks and long swords and hunting bows shuttled between the carriages. They were dressed a bit like mercenaries. Amidst the scolding of the coachman, several people stopped and loudly asked passers-by about the location of the port post office and got the information.
Then they walked towards the middle of the street.
Along the way, they squeezed through the crowds and through the gaps between carriages loaded with goods, and arrived at the door of the port post office in the middle of Shesa Street.
Steven and Kate entered the post office, and Blake was waiting at the door. He was carrying a huge rucksack on his back. After taking off the backpack and placing it on the ground, he sat next to him to rest and wait.
The three of them took a ride from a smuggler from the docking place outside Cania Port before dawn this morning and just arrived at the dock area.
Steven and Kate first went to the port post office to pick up the luggage and packages that the Derry couple had stored for them on the Flying Fish smuggling ship.
Later, Steven and Kate each walked out of the post office carrying a backpack. It seemed that the Derry couple not only arrived at the port of Cania successfully, but also kept their promise to deposit their packages at the port post office.
The three of them walked along Sesa Street for a short distance and then turned to another wider street. This commercial street called Elsa Street is the most prosperous commercial street in Cania. On both sides of the street are shops next to each other.
There are many shops in the area. It is not as chaotic as Chesa Street, but it is more lively.
Passengers from the principalities in the south of Grant Continent who take ships to the New World usually come here to go shopping and take some specialties to the New World.
This is also the distribution center for various specialties of the New World. Travelers from all over the world are willing to come here to buy some bargains from the New World.
Of course, hotels and taverns are also indispensable on this street. People of all kinds shuttle on the street. Sailors coming off the ship go straight to the tavern. Travelers go in and out of the shops, stop by the stalls, select goods, and chat with the bosses and traders.
They bargain.
The three of them walked along the street through the flow of people, looking for a hotel along the way. The hotels here, like the New Westin Port, have a distinctive sign, which is the large sunshade verandah. The architectural forms in the tropical areas of the New World all come from Grant South.
Soon they stopped outside a hotel called Xinghai Breeze. Later, a few people entered the hotel's verandah to check in. After paying 45 copper orders, they booked a three-person room for three days.
A few people took the keys and were guided by the counter attendant to the room on the second floor. After putting away their luggage, they decided to go to the verandah to have a cup of coffee and casually discuss their next plans and itinerary.
Sitting on the shady verandah, the three of them sipped coffee while watching the tourists and shoppers coming and going on the street. The hot tropical sun still couldn't disperse the flow of people on this street. Fortunately, there was still a sea breeze blowing on the street.
.
Kate bought a copy of the Cania Morning News and read the latest news. Steven and Blake were talking about going to the street to buy something later. Looking at the lively and bustling streets, the two of them were a little eager to join the hopeful people.
Crowds of people.
It was almost noon, and Kate suggested that they go shopping after lunch.
Taking advantage of this free time, Steven asked: "Kate, what are your plans? After returning to Bordeaux? You know, when I first graduated, I wanted to find an academic research institute in Bordeaux, or enter a university.
In the graduate school of the college, I will further study the natural subjects that I am interested in and see if there is any direction. But after more than two years of experience, I may have to reconsider it. What about you? Kate, have you found a new direction?
Is it done?"
Kate put down the newspaper and said: "I was just like you before, and you know it! I hope to enter the college's graduate school according to my own interests to continue studying and engage in research, but during this time I gradually had a new idea! I plan to return to
Create a mercenary group after Bordo!"
Looking at Steven's wide eyes, Kate raised the cup and took a sip of coffee and continued: "The tide of elements has triggered the most profound changes in the world! The era of mercenary groups is about to come or has already arrived! In addition to the interest as a warrior,
I plan to study the mutated creatures caused by the elemental tide, and the mercenary group is the most suitable. I hope to achieve results in this area, including academic results! What about you, Steven?"
Steven became interested: "This is great! Kate! I firmly support your decision! You go back and create a mercenary group first, and I will join you when I come back! Blake, you can also join! Are you right?
Your interest in firearms and shooting hobbies will definitely have a place in the mercenary group!"
Blake nodded happily: "Of course! Shooting bottles has long bored me! But I can't shoot at humans, right?! Shooting at monsters that harm humans should be my ultimate goal! I'm very happy to join this...
....Uh! What's its name? This mercenary group you plan to create! Kate?"
Kate said: "It hasn't been created yet! It's just an idea! We'll think about the name when we register it! Anyway, you two are also the founders! This will be a mercenary group created by the three of us!"
He continued: "Steven, aren't you going to go back with me now?! I know where you want to go! But it's full of danger and uncertainty! And there may not be anything to gain, and you're likely to be in vain.
Take a trip!”
Steven said: "But I will feel very uncomfortable if I don't go and explore it! Even if I don't gain something, I will go and have a look! What if there is something to gain?! No one can be sure before going in, right? For the unexpected
Don’t worry about the danger, Kate! The flame visualization method I practice is still improving! My strength will be stronger! When I get there!”
