Chapter 103 [Going to the Sea] (1)

Judging from the distance on the map, the sailing level of the Roland Empire that Chen Daolin asked Lodell for advice in the past two days is probably only three or four days.

"But I'm very strange, on your map..." Lodell said at the end, adding: "What is the farthest coordinate on your map? Just east of Half Moon Island... I remember that I have seen several nautical charts of Newhoven Province. The pearl industry in this area is very developed. I have memorized the chart here for a long time, but it seems that I have never seen the coordinate on your map... I remember that there are no big islands near Half Moon Island and Pearl Island... What is the place marked on your map?"

"Hmm? No?" Chen Daolin was stunned.

"I can't remember it wrong." Lodell nodded with certainty.

Chen Daolin took out the map and expanded it. Lodell pointed to the destination of the last treasure and said, "It's here. I remember that I have seen many nautical charts in the nearby seas, but they don't have the sign of this place. Strange, is there an island that has not been developed here? But this makes no sense. This is also considered a deserted island that humans have not discovered in the Newhoven province?"

Chen Daolin thought to himself: It would be right if there is no.

The treasure left by Du Wei must be very secret, how could it be easily discovered? Maybe it was the effect produced under the magic restriction.

"Anyway, the destination of our trip is the East China Sea. First go to the coast, then find a boat to go out to the Newhoven Province. Well, you said that there is already a human city in Half Moon Island near this sea area, right? Then we'll go here!"

Chen Daolin immediately made a decision.

Several young people traveled eastward through mountains and rivers. Their destination was the famous port city on the eastern coast of the Roland Empire: Port Dean.

Port Dean was the largest port in the north of the Roland Empire. In the war era a hundred years ago, it was once a military port, with a naval fleet stationed by the Roland Empire. During the war, this fleet could directly transport the troops to the northern front line by sea to land.

Of course, during the 100-year peace period, the military cost of Dean Port has gradually weakened. With the development of the East China Sea and the establishment of the Newhoven Province, Dean Port has become a prosperous trading port. As the peace era grows, the naval fleets originally stationed here have been repeatedly abolished. Now the warships stationed in the military port can only be used for near-shore patrols, and most of the docks originally belonging to the military port have been classified as civilians.

When several young people arrived here, eight days had been spent on the way. During these eight days, Chen Daolin was still worried at first, fearing that the pursuers of the Liszt family would appear in front of him at any time.

However, it was quite calm all the way. However, along the way, Lodell, the excited little girl, probably ran away from home for the first time. Everything was fresh, and she caused a lot of trouble along the way, but fortunately, she didn't make much trouble.

For example, when passing by a village and town, I saw the windmills set up in the farm, which made the young lady who had never been to the countryside very curious and went for a trip. She didn't know how to tinker, so she broke the windmills in the village.

For example, when she saw a water truck built by a farm in the canal on the roadside, the young lady would jump happily and stomp and play. It was not enough to step on it. She even took out a small hammer to knock it, but she didn't know why she had to remove the water truck from her.

Facing the angry local farmer, Chen Daolin acted very directly, and directly made money. Whenever he encountered any trouble, he would sprinkle a lot of gold coins. Anyway, the eldest lady of the Liszt family was by his side. This girl was a standard rich woman, carrying a lot of gold tickets from the Roland Empire. With such a sucker around him, Chen Daolin held a grim attitude, and the food, clothing and use of the group were all included by Lodell.

Just two days ago, I passed by a small town famous for brewing wine. Miss Lodell was very excited and was very enthusiastic in the tavern in the town, sprinkled money, invited all the people in the store to drink, empty the wine cellars of the tavern, and drank them all, holding the wine glasses without any image, holding the wineglass and sneering. As a result, because of the money and money, she was targeted by several villains in the town and robbed them halfway. Chen Daolin had no choice but to take action to cook the villains, tie them up and throw them into the grass on the roadside, and let them fend for themselves.

What made Chen Daolin the most depressed was that this girl passed by a village last night, and it happened that a veterinarian was delivering a foal for the mare. The girl became interested again and insisted on going to watch the fun. As a result, she was making trouble next to her and almost got into a quarrel with the veterinarian. Finally, after the mare gave birth to a foal, the girl even asked to buy the foal as a pet... and this bastard could actually offer a sky-high price of 100 gold coins!

One hundred gold coins! You can buy ten horses!

Fortunately, along the way, more than ten pieces of trouble caused by the eldest lady were already used to it. Chen Daolin had already carried the girl up and left, and threw it into the carriage, leaving her to yell inside. Chen Daolin just locked the car door and ignored her.

The next day, the young lady ran over and laughed at Chen Daolin as if nothing had happened.

Chen Daolin had no choice but to treat this girl Lodell.

However, seeing that he had arrived at Dean Port, Chen Daolin still pulled her and gave a few careful advice.

"I've been willing to make trouble on the road, but we're about to enter Dean Port, which is a big city with many people and eyes. If you make trouble again, you will reveal your identity and attract your pursuers. Don't blame me for being unfaithful, I will just leave you and run away!"

Lodell glanced at Chen Daolin, but after all, she knew the importance and shut her mouth honestly.

The port city of Dean Port has three walls facing the sea. However, with the increasing development of East China Sea trade, the original old city has long been inadequate for use. In the past few decades, the rapid influx of foreign population has long been filled with the old city of Dean Port. The walls have not been able to be expanded. Later, outsiders simply built houses outside the city to live in. This situation has led to the pattern of an outer city covering an inner city in Dean Port.

The new area built along the outer city walls is chaotic and the various buildings have different styles, but it is extremely prosperous.

When Chen Daolin came to the outer city of Port Dean in a carriage, it was still morning and the streets had already started to become crowded.

Various houses, shops, and various seafood trading markets built on both sides of the road are filled with a salty and fishy smell.

On the streets on both sides, there are signs selling pearls at the doors of almost every shop. However, Chen Daolin heard from Lodell that most of the pearls sold here are inferior and inferior goods, and the real high-quality goods have long been included in all of them by several large merchant groups.

However, these inferior pearls that resisted were very popular among ordinary people on the Roland Continent. As the Roland Empire was dazed by marine resources, pearls became increasingly popular in the empire as decorations.

The nobles sought after the best pearls, but ordinary people could not afford the best pearls, but they also liked to follow the trend and buy some ordinary low-end pearls as decorations.

As the largest port in the north of the empire, Dean Port relies on the mountains and the sea to eat. I don’t know how many people who do pearl business come here every year, so naturally the pearl industry is also very developed.

Chen Daolin knew that Dean Port does not produce pearls themselves. The pearls here all come from the sea, and the good goods were packaged by the big business associations, and those who live on the market here will be seen only if there are good things.

However, for girls, all kinds of gems and pearls have always been powerless. Even though they knew that the street shops here sold low-end goods, they could only deceive the inexperienced suckers, but Lodell still jumped off the carriage and jumped along the street one by one. Anyway, the streets were crowded and the carriage was not driving fast, so they could only move forward bit by bit in the traffic.

Even Barossa, although she didn't say anything, looked at Lodell picking up pearls in the shops or street stalls on the side of the road and playing with them, and the elf girl's eyes also showed envious gazes.

"If you like it? Then go and have a look." Chen Daolin touched Barossa's hair pamperedly and said softly: "If you like someone, don't talk first and ask Xia Xia to ask for the price. That girl is a big deal on the street. With her around, she will never be cheated."

Barossa's eyes lit up, she glanced at Chen Daolin with charm, and pulled the little maid Xia Xia and jumped out of the carriage.

"Master, if I have something to see..." Xia Xia blinked her eyes and looked at Chen Daolin.

"If you like it, buy it." Chen Daolin waved his hand.

Xia Xia screamed in surprise and followed Barossa to the street.

Chen Daolin sat in the carriage and looked at the girls at various pearl shops on both sides of the carriage. He couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his heart.

After a while, Barossa and Xia Xia bought several handfuls of pearls. Barossa ran back excitedly and showed the string of pearls he bought to Chen Daolin. Chen Daolin only took a look and couldn't help but smile.

This girl is indeed an amateur. Although the beads she bought seem to be very large and are very round every piece, the problem is that Chen Daolin saw at a glance that this thing was a fake.

You should know that most of the natural pearls are oval, and the pearls in Barossa's hand are so round and rolling, and they are extremely regular. You can tell at a glance that they were made by hand... And if such a large pearl is a real product and has such a round appearance, it can definitely be considered a top-notch product.

Chen Daolin took a look and knew that this thing was probably a fake pearl that was ground into shell powder and poured out with a mold.

But anyway, the girl just bought a fresh one and didn't spend much money. Chen Daolin didn't want to expose Barossa's good mood.

However, Lodell, after all, was from a wealthy family and had seen too many pearls and gems since he was a child. Naturally, this kind of fake is visible at a glance. After walking around for a while, he came back with a handful of large and small loose beads. Although his appearance was not very good, at least they were all real natural pearls.

This girl was very eye-catching. She saw through Barossa and bought a fake product and didn't say it out loud. She still laughed and jokingly pulled Barossa and joked.

At this moment, several girls spilled money everywhere, but attracted people.

A man with a nervous expression squeezed to the carriage, walked quickly, followed the carriage, and yelled at Lodell and Barossa on the carriage, "Miss! Two ladies! Do you want to buy good things? I have top-quality pearls here! It's definitely top-quality goods!"

Chen Daolin looked back at the man. The man was wearing numb clothes and his clothes were very simple, but his eyes were sneaky and he was not a good person at first glance. Chen Daolin remembered all kinds of popular scams in the real world and couldn't help but smile in his heart: I didn't expect that there were such guys in the Roland Empire who could also get a flaw in the Roland Empire.

Xia Xia grew up on the street since she was a child. She is most familiar with such cheating people. She immediately glared at her and shouted: "Where did you come from? Get out of here!!"

The man was not angry, and accompanied his little face, ignoring Xia Xia's scolding at all, but just spoke to Lodel and Barossa: "I'm not a liar, Miss! I really have good things! It was taken back directly from the hands of the fishermen at the sea! It's real!"

He was very experienced and could see at a glance that the carriage was mainly Barossa and Lodell. As for Xia Xia, he looked like a little follower.

As he said that, the guy actually touched his arms and took out a pearl, held it in his hand and raised it high and raised it: "Miss, please see! This is a good thing! It's a good thing that only those nobles can use!"

Before Barossa could speak, Lodell looked at it and couldn't help but say "Huh" with a curious expression on his face.

Chen Daolin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This guy actually pinched a high-quality pearl in his hand!

This pearl is as big as a fingernail, but it is dark all over, emitting a faint black polished light - this is a very rare black pearl.

Black Pearl has always been a rare product. This guy took it out, and even Lodell was a little surprised. She didn't know how many precious treasures she had seen since she was a child. She had at least dozens of strings of Black Pearl at home, but street gangsters in such places could actually take out such goods, which made Lodell, the curious baby, immediately became interested.

"Let me see." She was about to reach out, but Chen Daolin had already pulled her back and looked at the man coldly: "Where did you come from? We don't want things with unclean origins."
