It has been more than 300 years since the development of Orca Port, and the city has been continuously expanded and rebuilt, and it has begun to take shape today. On the outermost periphery of this port city is the seafood commercial street. So far, the business of Killer Whale Port is no longer purely whaling, but also includes other seafood species, including all deep-sea creatures including sharks. Within the business scope of Orca Port.
There will always be more than a dozen ships sailing here every day, and a similar number will return in the evening. There are countless types of cargo ships and passenger ships. The tariffs on entry and exit of these merchant ships alone are a huge number every year. The two ocean-going chambers of commerce that have leased exclusive docks in the port throughout the year further interpret the prosperity of this port city.
After traveling at sea for nearly a month, Belmode and Kira finally came to the northern border from the southern border of the empire.
At the end of autumn, the weather in the southern border of the empire was still extremely hot. But in the north, the autumn breeze has brought a hint of winter coolness. Of course, this coolness is nothing to Belmode. They were still wearing summer clothes and followed the flow of passengers from the back of the large passenger ship to the shore.
Once on the dock, you can smell the strong fishy smell in the air. This is a seaport city, and it is dominated by the marine industry. There are stalls all over the wharf that kill big fish, naturally floating with strong fish. People who first arrive at Orca Harbor will not be used to this taste, but it is this that has created the glory of the city.
When the two walked out of the pier, they only felt that the ground under their feet was oily, as if the fish paste and fat had spread from the pier to the streets here. Kira frowned, but Belmode was helpless. The two looked at each other and smiled before they followed the crowd into the city.
After paying the tax for entering the city, they got a wooden sign to stay in the city temporarily. With this brand, they will not be interrogated by the guards patrolling the city. If you encounter any danger or difficulty in the city, you can also ask the city defense team for help. Otherwise, without this wooden sign, the city defense team would not even look at you at all, and would blast you out of the city.
Both the architecture and the sculptures of Orca Harbor adopt dark colors. Except for the green belt of the block and the plants in the park square, it is difficult to see things in other colors, so the whole city gives people a deep feeling. Especially the buildings near the wharf have a history of many years. The outer walls of many houses have already fallen off, leaving ugly patches.
The history of this block can be traced back to three hundred years ago, regardless of the building or the street, the general pattern of the year has been retained. Therefore, the streets here are complicated and narrow. Many times, pedestrians and vehicles are crowded together, so friction will not be less.
And the more you go to the center of the city, you will find that the streets become more and more spacious. After all, it was built after expansion, and the design and planning must be better. Walking on the streets of the city, you can feel that the road is constantly rising forward, because the city was originally built on a relatively flat hill. At the highest point of the city, you will see a prominent hill.
You can see a dark red castle on it. This depressing and gloomy castle is the place where the Diris family has lived for generations. The current owner of the castle is the Earl Eric. This castle is called "Blood Twilight" by the locals, or Blood Castle for short.
Glancing in the direction of the blood castle, Belmode pulled Chira and walked into a nearby bar. Unlike other places, the bar here is open almost all day, day or night. The bar was full of people, and the two of Belmode chose a relatively quiet corner to sit down. Soon, a hotly dressed woman with rough skin and withered hair came over.
"What can you two do? If you are just coming to Killer Whale Harbor, I suggest that both of you have a cup of beauties. This is our signature here."
"Just as you said." Belmode smiled.
The woman winked at him, turned and left.
Kira glared at that figure, and then said: "Oh my God, there are so many people here. It is not easy to find the Princess Lily here. And we don't know if she is here yet. No, we even have her. It’s not clear whether it will appear."
"It's okay, I do my best. And when it comes to getting news, is there any place where you can get information more easily than a bar?" Belmode wasn't worried at all.
Soon, the female bartender walked back. She brought two glasses of cocktails from the plate. The goblet was filled with blood-red wine, with a few pieces of dry ice floating on it, and a slice of lemon stuck in the rim of the glass, which was quite attractive.
"Please taste slowly." The bartender smiled.
Kira took a sip, only to feel a hint of sweetness in the wine. But after entering his throat, there seemed to be a fire burning in his stomach, showing that the drink was full of energy. Belmode took a sip, both of them were surprised by the strength of the wine.
"How about it, it tastes good?" The female bartender turned around and walked back, and said to Belmode, "Then, please pay for the wine."
"How many?"
"Two gold coins."
Belmode shook his head and said, "It's really expensive, but it's worth the money."
He took out three gold coins and pressed them into the female bartender's hands and said, "Two gold coins are for wine and the other is for tips. I want to ask, who has the best information in this city?"
The woman happily put away one of the gold coins, seeing that Belmode's expression was completely different. She bent down and said in Belmode's ear: "If you are referring to a formal channel, then you should go to the Adventurer's Association. If you want to find a rumor, I suggest you go to the Poseidon Temple on Oak Street to find the priest Bahrain. He will Provide what you want. But the consulting fee for the priests of Bahrain is not cheap."
After speaking, she rubbed her chest on Belmode, and the woman chuckled: "Although I really want to say that I can provide you with some special services, but considering that there is already a beautiful lady by your side, I will take back this sentence. Right. I wish you all have fun in Orca Harbor."
In Kira's dumbfounding sight, the bartender picked up the plate, twisted her hot steps and walked away. But when she passed a table, a man sitting by the aisle stretched out his hand covered with black hair and squeezed it heavily on her ass. The woman screamed, then cursed a few words at the man before she walked away. The man laughed, his eyes lighted up as he passed Kira's side inadvertently.
"It seems it's time to go." Belmode said softly.
Kira held the glass and said, "I haven't finished drinking a cup of gold coins."
"If you don't go to the trouble, just...oh, the trouble has come."
"What?" When Kira couldn't figure it out, the light in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed, but four or five men surrounded their table. The man who had touched the bartender's just now said gruffly to Belmode, "Boy, there is nothing to do with you here. I don't have to be itchy to beat him up."
Then put on a smiling face and said to Kira: "Beauty, you just came to Killer Whale Harbor, right? I'm a local snake here. You can ask me if you don't understand."
"Who are you?" It's not the first day that Kira came out to walk. In the years when he was an adventurer, such scenes were common. It was just that there was a group of male partners around her at that time, and the others were too dare to come over to provoke her. And now there is only one Belmode sitting next to her, although Belmode can kill her former companion with one hand, but not everyone knows the goods.
For example, these few.
"My name is Dyke, Dyke with an iron fist!" The man bends his arm, revealing his strong muscles and a black and cyan pattern.
"Oh, there is nothing you don't understand, so your kindness is appreciated."
"Don't be so unfeeling, beauty. I know there are a few places that are fun, or I will take you around?" Dyke smiled with a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Ki Ramen said without changing his color: "One of the places must be your bed, right?"
"Haha, you little girl is on the way. That's right, of course you have to lie down on my bed if you are tired." He stretched his hand to Kira's shoulder.
Qi stretched his hand and swept away his paws, and smiled Mimi and said, "It's okay to get me to bed, but I'm no longer a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. You think you can put this lady into bed with just two sentences. ?"
"What do you want?"
"Money!" Kira said leisurely.
Dyke's face changed slightly, then he reached out and took out a bag from his jacket and threw it on the table, saying: "Okay, I like your refreshing personality. Here are a hundred gold coins, don't say stay with me, even with me It’s enough for these brothers to play together!"
Belmode looked at them with a smile, and did not intervene, leaving Kira to deal with it.
Kira picked up the bag, shook it in her hand, and said, "This amount seems to be a hundred."
"Of course."
Throwing it back again, Kira took out a larger purse from her body and threw it on the table and said, "There are a thousand coins here. If you take off your pants and let me play with it, the money will be yours. "
Dyke almost didn't squirt a mouthful of blood. After a daze, he grinned and said: "Damn, you little dare to tease the uncle. It seems that you don't teach you today. You don't know how powerful Dyke is!"
He reached out to catch Kira, who tilted his head to avoid his paws. The bottom foot crossed and kicked on Dyke's bare ankle. The pain made him yell and jump back. Several other men also fought, one of them grabbed Belmode, Belmode held his fist lightly, and with a flick, the man immediately turned and fell away, but his arm had been twisted.
Kira simply caught the big swords placed next to him, one sword at a time, and slapped them on the heads and chests of these men, and put them down in three or two. Then Dyke rushed over again. As soon as Kira turned around, Dyke rushed into the air and knocked Belmode's table directly to the ground. Fortunately, Belmode had a sharp eye and grasped two cocktails, and then drank one of them before spitting out a scent of wine.
Kira walked over and gave a violent kick to the man's step. Dyke screamed like a pig, and the voice made the other men in the bar wince. Kira kicked a few more feet and said: "You still want to play with Miss Ben, just like you, it's 800 years early!"
Belmode shook her head and pulled her away, "Okay, let's go. We still have business to do."
Not knowing what technique he used, Belmode waved back, and gold coins with glittering golden light flew towards the bar. The gold coins were spinning around in the air, but miraculously one by one overlapped on the bar, forming a small pillar. Belmode smiled at the bartender just now, "This is our compensation, please accept it."
Only then did Kira leave.
Oak Avenue is not difficult to find, after all, the Poseidon Temple is a landmark in Orca Harbor just like Scarlet Twilight. Poseidon Uris is a believed by fishermen and sailors. Among the various beliefs of the empire, Uris, the of the sea, has many faiths. After all, those who seek life at sea always hope that there is a powerful sea behind them.
The Poseidon Temple is open for prayers to believers every day. When Belmode and the two arrived, the morning prayers had just ended. A young man stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, you two. The early report is over. Please come back tonight if you need it."
Belmode pulled him aside and said, "We want to see the priest of Bahrain."
"Do you have an appointment?"
Belmode shook his head, and the young man smiled: "There is no way."
"Perhaps." Belmode stuffed a gold coin into his hand.
The young man's eyes lit up, but he still said, "At this time, the Bahraini priest has eaten lunch and is about to take a nap."
"Then please call him up." Belmode placed the young man's palm, and golden coins fell in his palm.
"Please wait a minute." The young man put away the gold coins and turned to leave.
Not long after, an old man with gray hair and sacrificial robes walked out: "I am the priest of Bahrain~EbookFREE.me~ I heard that the two are looking for me?"
Belmode nodded and said: "We have something to ask the priest."
"Then, come with me."
Bahrain took them to a quiet prayer room with the image of the sea Uris on the wall. Bahrain first paid homage to the statue, and then said: "If you want to ask about the sea god's deeds, you must first receive a gift to become a believer in our sea temple."
"No, priest of Bahrain, we want to know something else." Belmode took out a purse and placed it in the arms of the priest of Babi. That was Dyke's money, but it was taken over by Belmod during the fight, and now it fell into Bahrain's arms.
There was a light in Bahrain's cloudy eyes, he chuckled and put away the bag. After closing the door again, he said: "It looks like someone introduced you here, let's talk, what do you want to know? My old Bahrain has nothing else, but the news is all in my mind."
The Bahraini priest patted his smooth forehead and said confidently. r1058
