"What should we do now?" Heijiaoya slightly lifted his hood and looked at the trade stalls on both sides. The goods on them made him feel very novel. He had never seen so many goods in Scandinavia, and he was curious.
It was so tight, but he couldn't reach out, making him itchy all over.
"Xiaobai, what do you think?" Takumi, who was also observing the trade stall, asked Xiaobai. Like Heijiaoya, he was also attracted by the trade stall. If these things were brought back to Scandinavia,
, that is the greatest wealth.
"We should stay and take a closer look. Maybe we will gain something." Xiaobai walked to a fruit stall and picked up a fruit that looked like an apple and smelled it. It had a sweet smell, and then put it
He put the fruit back on the stall and said softly.
"I agree to stay." Hei Jiaoya, whose eyes were dazzled by the sight, said impatiently.
Takumi nodded and turned to look around. They were a group of people who were very conspicuous. If they walked together, they would be easily noticed by the guards. This would undoubtedly increase the risk of them being exposed. More importantly... they had no money!
The spoils of war were left and buried in the village. Now they don't have a penny in their hands, and they are no different from beggars.
"Spread out, we'll meet at the dunes in the evening." Takumi gathered his clothes, said this, and walked away calmly.
Xiaobai looked around and walked in another direction. The sailors also followed the same example and dispersed. As for what to do, no one knew. Everyone has their own preferences and their concerns are naturally different.
.
The city is not small, and it is impossible to fully explore it in one day, but Xiaobai's enthusiasm did not diminish and he started walking around the city.
This is a prosperous city, especially with a large number of merchants. The street where he is located is lined with small stalls selling everything, mostly handicrafts, daily necessities and food.
Xiaobai didn't want to buy anything and walked all the way. He found that the city was divided into four parts. There was a huge intersection, and in the center was a fountain. A steady stream of clean water spewed out. There were many fountains around the fountain.
People are fetching water.
The two tallest flame towers in the city are erected on both sides of the intersection and are guarded by guards. Every pedestrian passing by will be monitored by the guards and approach the flame towers with caution.
What interests Xiao Bai is that behind a flame tower, there is actually a city within a city surrounded by huge stone walls. It should be the residence of the nobles in the city, because Xiao Bai discovered that the quality of this stone material is better than that used to make city walls.
The stone is even stronger, and it is actually seven or eight meters high, parallel to the city wall.
Within the wall is probably the center of power in this city.
This walled city within a city has only one gate, which is heavily guarded. People who can enter the wall are obviously more upscale and gorgeously dressed, which further strengthens Xiao Bai's idea that the worst here is an aristocratic area. They
Separate yourself from the common people to show your dignity.
Wandering in the city, feeling the exotic customs of the desert city, time passed quickly, and the sky began to darken. Because of being a road addict, Xiaobai did not dare to go deep into the city. He kept walking on the main roads and saw the sky.
It was almost dark, so he hurriedly left the city and headed to the sand dunes to meet the sailors.
Takumi and some sailors have returned, lit a fire behind the dunes, and are already preparing for dinner.
Under normal circumstances, lighting a fire in the desert is a dangerous behavior and will cause unnecessary trouble, but now the situation is different. Their sand dunes are not far from the city, and flames are starting to light up in other directions.
, those are people who cannot stay overnight in the city.
The sailors' fires became less conspicuous. It was still very cold in the desert at night, and fires were needed to keep warm.
The guards in the city seemed to be accustomed to this situation and did not come to interfere, allowing people to set up small camps outside.
Xiaobai came to the fire, took out his clothes and spread them on the ground, then sat down, picked up a piece of dried fish and chewed it. He walked around all day without eating anything, so he drank some water. Now he has
I'm hungry.
"What's the harvest?" Takumi came and sat down next to Xiaobai. He was not as particular as Xiaobai. He just sat in the sand and ate dried fish while asking.
"This is a complete city with tens of thousands of people living there. The number of warriors is unknown, but it must be quite a lot. It is difficult to attack because of the stone walls." Xiaobai said casually.
"I know what you said, what else is there?" Takumi continued to ask.
"Fufu, it's very peaceful here, they are not as ferocious as us, and their warriors lack our blood." Xiaobai turned his head and glanced in the direction of the city, and continued.
"I feel the same way." Takumi nodded, hesitated and said, "I was wondering if we should try it."
"Takumi, are you kidding? You've seen what it's like inside, what do you think we can do if we go in?" Xiaobai looked at Takumi in a different way, feeling that he was crazy.
"I'm not willing to see so many good things but can't get them. If we can get them here, we won't have to go to sea anymore. It will be enough for us to squander for a lifetime." Takumi gasped and said, why should he?
I went to sea not just for wealth, but now I can only look at the wealth in this city in front of me, which naturally makes me very depressed.
"There is a saying that you can take your life, but you can't spend your life. You'd better not think too much." Knowing Takumi's thoughts, Xiaobai rolled his eyes and said.
"I'm not willing to give in!" Takumi threw the dried fish in his hand fiercely and hammered the sand.
Even though he seems to be quite sensible at ordinary times, people like Takumi are actually more greedy than other sailors. It’s just that other sailors are greedy for small gains and are easily satisfied. However, captains like Takumi naturally look down on small things.
Cheap ones, he likes big ones, the kind that can last a long time after just one fuck.
"Don't be reluctant, we still have many opportunities." Xiaobai grinned.
"You have a way?" Takumi looked at Xiaobai in surprise. He admired Xiaobai more and more now. This guy's brain was smarter than all the sailors combined. He was willing to discuss anything with Xiaobai.
.
"Plundering is not the only way to get gold. We also have our own advantages." Xiaobai shook his finger towards Takumi and said easily: "We are not from here. We can transport our own things here at high prices.
Sell."
Things are more expensive when they are scarce. Don't merchants transport goods from one place to another to earn the price difference?
Between continents, there is countless wealth. Since the city is difficult to break, let it slowly corrode until it is easily accessible! (To be continued)
