Ankerheip, the southern port of the South China Sea, the port of Steam, this bustling trading port is currently under the control of the Badid family of the Sespatus Aristocratic Alliance.

The vast port city is divided into two major urban areas from south to north. The north city of Lias is a noble and rich man. It is full of Baroque aristocratic manor. It has a rich shape and free structure, but the interior is filled with Byzantine luxury decoration. .

The Gretatar Cathedral is the tallest building in Ankhep, with spires standing at 137 meters in front of the gate, standing in the tower to see the city.

At this point, the people at the port look like a group of ants crawling, and the bows and sails at the pier are like rows of mirages in the fog of the sea. If it is not the cold and humid sea breeze, this kind of landscape always seems to have an illusion of falling into a dream.

Unlike the North City, where the streets are neat and clean, and luxury shops are located, Nancheng belongs to the most noisy port area of ​​Ankeheip, including a large market adjacent to the terminal.

This large market covers an abundance, not only the offices established by major chambers of commerce, but also the trade associations, including fish markets, slave markets, auction houses, and weapons and magical items for mercenary groups and armed sailors. Blacksmith shop and alchemy shop.

To the south of the big market is the many taverns in the port terminal. Of course, many of them are also upstairs and have a hotel and a barn. They belong to the entertainment red light district unique to the Pan-Steam Lake.

Here, the three religions are mixed, the dark side of the city filled with snake worms and ants. In the dimly lit alleys of the pickled cockroaches, you can often see a lot of gangsters who are ugly, and carry out illegal activities.

At this time, a group of people wearing cloaks were walking through the alleys of many pier pubs. The group was dressed in plain style, and there were not many words in the march. They deliberately lowered their heads and hid their faces under the hood.

Some of them occasionally look up and still see them handsome and refined, different from the ordinary people's delicate face. Plus they are exposed to the hood, like the shiny hair and bonnet in the gold and silver. The keen eye-catching gold gloves in the port area are fully capable of judging that some of them should be rare elves in the human city.

Surprisingly, however, Ankhepp’s insatiable golden gloves, as if they were turned into scorpions, turned a blind eye to the gold coins that they would walk on their own. Even occasionally?? occasionally peeping into the strange face of these strangers, they will quickly remove their sight, as if to avoid the plague, quietly hidden in the darkness of the alley.

This is not because Ankerhep's dark forces don't like gold coins, but because the harbour is different from the other steamports in the Pan-Steam Lake, it has a very unique and distinctive character. The elves are not rare here, although they are not permanent residents, but they are also not slaves and goods.

Since the 11th generation of the Badid family has formed an alliance with the Anker Elf Court, the Anker Elves have saved the city’s destiny from the Sethpats aristocratic civil war three times in the past 100 years. Free from war.

At the same time, the animal skin, wood, spices and herbs taken from the Anke Forest are also the biggest factors for Anke Head's continued prosperity.

This human harbour city, whether it is the wealthy merchants of the North City or the gangsters of the South City, gradually realize that they are more adventurous in catching the Elf slaves, and they can also make huge profits in the trade with the Anker.

What's more, the group of humans and elves who are walking in the pub's alleys, the outline of the strips under the cloak, also shows that they are not unarmed, it is probably a mixed-commercial mercenary group with an adventurous experience.

Instead of provoke such enemies, the golden gloves are not as good as the setting sun, and the luckiest big market at this time is trying to find luck. Maybe you can find a few unconscious sheep.

......

Milares's cheeks twitched slightly, looking at the thick layer of unknown dirt on the side of the canal, and the thick liquid that foamed on the surface, only to feel a tumult in the stomach, and the natural aversion to the human being in the subconscious seemed to It has deepened again.

"His Royal Silar, have you ever traveled to a human city like Ankerhep?" Mileras turned his head and asked softly to his companions.

"His Royal Miles, what do you mean?" Qin Lun did not care about stepping on the sewage in the alley, and asked with a smile, "You arrived at the Jondal from the Sea of ​​Comanso, did you not pass along the way?" Other human cities?"

"Well, the east side of the Comanso Forest is the Dragon Bay. We used the sea monsters provided by the Cannes to cross the Star Sea, and then we reached the Jondal through the Weihong Sea. On the way, we experienced several sea storms, but there was no Replenished in the human harbour." Milleras frowned.

"It turns out!" Qin Lun flashed a glimmer of light in his eyes and smiled with his eyes open. "The most expensive Qinglian grows only in the mud, His Highness Milares, waiting for you to see the so-called high-ranking people. Maybe you understand what is 'the emperor's new dress'!"

"I will wait and see!" Milelas, though puzzled, still nodded and smiled. "It is a blessing to be able to walk with a well-experienced royal family. Ferrar, maybe we should abandon each other's identity, How does the name call the other party?"

"As you wish, Milleras!" Qin Lun leaned slightly, gracefully nodded.

"Two lords, I found a ‘voluntary’ guide!” On the occasion of Qin Lun’s soft conversation with Milleras, Stark ran from the front, carrying a small human in the hands of Pu Fan.

"Hey!" The leader of the fortress team gently throws this person to the foot of Qin Lun. "This guy is called Saigon. It is a local snake near here. It should be familiar with the dock area."

"Big, adults, I am the Saigon of Byron. I don't know where there is, can I help you?" After being thrown to the foot of Qin Lun by Stark, the thieves who were thin and thin, squatting on the ground, forehead Full of cold sweat, a pair of narrow eyes slid straight, and the right hand sneaked into his arms.

"Look up, put your hand in the place I can see, don't make reckless behavior!" Qin Lu smiled and squatted down, and found a fist-sized bag from his arms, shaking in the ears of thieves.

The thief’s body was stiff and slowly pulled his right hand out of his arms and spread it in front of him. The crisp and pleasing gold coin collision sound has greatly eased his nervousness. He has seen many elf mercenaries in the pub, but few elves are willing to deal with underground mice like him.

Although there are many Anke elves in this city as mercenaries and bounty hunters, the elf mercenaries with a generally strong sense of justice do not like the gold gloves and gangsters in the port area.

At some point, the two will also have **** conflicts in the underground world. The gangsters who fall into the hands of the elves often disappear without a trace, and the city guards will not offend the elves because of such small things, and they will not worry about their own lives.

"Don't worry, we are not malicious. We just want to inquire about the number of flights that go to Suldorfer regularly!" Qin Lun took out a Colin gold coin from the purse and handed it to the thief. On the palm.

Looking at the gold coins on the palm of the hand, the thief's narrow eyes showed a little light, and the right hand dexterously turned over, and the gold coins disappeared into the cuffs.

"Adults, our Byron meeting business is limited to a few nearby pubs, but I can help you contact the old man of the 'Black Owl', the leader of the Dock Workers, every merchant ship to Ankerheip I know everything..." The thief opened his mouth and revealed a row of messy yellow teeth, and his face barely squeezed out a false smile.

"Well, you are very eye-catching. If the information I get is satisfactory, then this bag of Collin is all yours!" Qin Lun shook his money bag and pointed at Stark and smiled. "However, put Be smart, don't play tricks. My guy will go with you, his strength is no less than the high-level boxer, you should have seen it!"

"Yes, adults!" The thief showed a horrified expression, deepened his head and concealed the greed and haze in his eyes.

......

"Ferrar, why should you please such a despicable human being? Has the Badid family already prepared a merchant ship for us?" Looking at the thieves and Stark, Ilistin went up two steps. By the side of Qin Lun, I asked softly inexplicably.

"Oh ~lightnovelpub.net~ Our journey will not be very comfortable, we can't leave too many obvious goals for our opponents!" Qin Lun blinked and said faintly, "The boat of the Badid family is also Will start on time, but we will not board the ship."

"Ferrar, these gangsters have no bottom line. Wouldn't they ask them if they would ask for information? In Ankerheap, they may not dare to move the elves, but at the sea..." Mileras asked with some concern. "Why don't you find a trade association to ask about it? People with status and status will at least have scruples!"

"Well, yes, the trade associations in the port area do have to have some professional ethics. However, they can't keep secrets. The Tallinn Association itself started with the control of Shanglu and Haimao. Looking for the trade association to inquire about the information, there is no difference between telling them directly. Qin Lun explained with a smile.

However, there is still a sentence in his heart that does not explain to Ilistin and Milares. Looking for people with status and status to inquire about intelligence, it is difficult to deal with the tail of the hand afterwards, and the snake worms like Saigon and Kapu are indifferent. The dead can no longer reveal secrets, and naturally there is no trouble.

"Let's go, let's find a hotel that can be settled, and other things will be handed over to Robin's head!" Qin Lun said with a smile, "I believe that tomorrow, they have taken care of everything!"
