Chapter 210 209. Holy Light Knight
The crowd walked into the city from the airport terminal through narrow and long folding steps, and walked along the long street to the center of the city.
The city is not that big, there is only one main street, but the main street is full of people, even at dusk, it is actually full of pedestrians and very lively.
There are a lot of trading firms on the main street, at least dozens of them. Most of these firms are engaged in leather goods business. There are also a large number of small vendors on the street. The small vendors carry a large basket on their head and hold it with one hand. Holding the bottom edge of the wicker basket, holding the items for sale in the other hand, selling them to passers-by along the street, the vendors always have a faint smile on their faces, even if they offend when they sell the goods , and it is difficult to make people angry, the most is to stare at him coldly.
When passing a butcher shop, Suerdak saw a two-foot-long short-tailed fat lizard hanging from dozens of iron hooks. There were also several on the butcher’s table. A local woman was standing at the butcher shop. Picking and picking before the case, he finally picked up a lizard tail and put it in his basket. This lizard tail looked only as thick as an arm, was less than a foot long, and only weighed two pounds. A copper plate is really not cheap.
The meat that often appears on the tables of the Green Empire is beef and yellow mutton. There may be some price differences between these two kinds of meat depending on the region, but it only costs about fifteen to twenty-five copper coins per pound. In the meantime, if it is the ribs with the bone, it will be much cheaper.
Suldak stopped in front of a stall selling beef, pointed to a thigh-thin eye meat strip on the meat table, and asked the stall owner:
"How much is this by a pound?"
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, probably because he was not used to Suerdak's accent, then he reacted and said respectfully:
"Master Knight, fifteen copper coins a pound."
Suldak nodded, but he didn't intend to buy it, and stepped forward to keep up with the crowd.
It seems that the cost of living of ordinary people in Dares City is not high. One silver coin can provide a family of three with a delicious barbecue. Obviously, this is a very comfortable life. I asked some vendors about the prices of vegetables and wheat flour, and they were all very cheap, basically the same as the prices in Evelson City.
Most of the buildings in Dar es are made of sand and gravel, and the surface of the building is also coated with a layer of colorful mortar. Some buildings are light red or light yellow in color. These buildings generally have only two floors. The roof is covered with various forms of clotheslines, and there are always various gauze silks flying on the clotheslines with the wind.
Captain Kerry led the crowd across the main street and came to a restaurant called Zhouzhihai. At this moment, a group of waiters stood at the door of the restaurant to welcome everyone. The manager of the restaurant stood at the front. After seeing Captain Kerry, He greeted him with a smile and said, "It's a great honor to host this dinner for you, Captain Kerry."
Captain Kerry didn’t have a smile on his face, he just nodded slightly to the restaurant manager, and asked in a hoarse voice: “Is everything arranged?”
Whoever encounters bird tides, boat crashes, and ship repairs during the voyage will not be in a good mood. In addition, the magic airship will need to be repaired in the future, the wounded will need corresponding treatment, and some passengers will have to refund their tickets. These things need to be paid by Captain Kerry himself. It is estimated that this voyage will cost A lot of money.
"Everything is ready." The restaurant manager replied respectfully.
Captain Kerry walked directly into the restaurant without waiting for the restaurant manager to finish speaking.
Everyone went directly to the second floor along the stairs in the hall on the first floor. Captain Kerry packed up the entire second floor of the restaurant and hosted a banquet for the seventy-three passengers on the magic airship who were willing to help resist the bird tide, waiting for everyone to take their seats in the restaurant. , the restaurant manager reappeared in front of everyone, and asked Captain Kerry cautiously:
"Captain Kerry, will the dinner begin immediately?"
Captain Kerry nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's get started!"
The captain first expressed his heartfelt thanks to everyone present, thanking everyone for lending a helping hand when the magic airship was most in danger. In short, he said a lot of words of thanks before he started eating.
Then came the dinner time. The dinner was well prepared and full of the local characteristics of Dares City. The lizard that Suldak saw on the way did not appear on the dining table. There was a sandworm Mustard soup is still fresh in Suldak's memory, and the rest of the dishes are more common, but there are also many extremely delicious things, such as cheese beef pie, sea buckthorn juice and so on.
After accepting Kerry's hospitality, Suldak and his party were arranged to stay in the largest hotel in the city for one night. The overworked Suldak almost fell asleep in bed.
When I woke up, it was already high in the sun. I got up from the bed and took a hot shower in the bathroom. After getting dressed, I looked in the mirror and saw that the young and strong man with blond hair and blue eyes in the mirror was actually me. An inexplicable sense of unreality.
Suldak was about to go downstairs to see if some breakfast could be served in the hotel at this time. Although it was almost noon, all he needed was a bowl of oatmeal, sliced white bread and fried eggs. As soon as he opened the door, he saw When the hotel waiter stood in the corridor, he looked over seriously.
"It's me!" Suldak stood in the corridor and closed the room door casually.
The waiter heard that Suldak had a foreign accent, so he deliberately slowed down his speaking rhythm, and said slowly: "Viscount Owen Constantine and Captain Brett both told me that if you wake up, I must notify you They sounded as if they wanted to talk to you, my lord knight, may I reveal your whereabouts to them?"
Suldak didn't expect that someone would pay attention to him, he just thought it shouldn't be some kind of malicious pursuit, otherwise the waiter wouldn't be able to tell him so.
then said straightforwardly: "Of course, it shouldn't matter!"
Hearing what Suldak said, the waiter seemed very happy, and quickly bowed to Suldak: "Okay, thank you, Sir Knight."
Suldak nodded slightly to the waiter, walked past him, and thought in his heart: 'This waiter will probably get two tips! That's why I'm so happy...'
Afterwards, Suldak thought about breakfast again, so he stopped, turned around and asked the waiter, "Oh, at this other time, do you still serve breakfast here?"
"Breakfast has been suspended, Sir Knight, but you can still order morning tea at this time!" The waiter was stunned and immediately replied.
"Forehead…"
Suldak nodded again, turned and left the hotel corridor.
…
In the restaurant downstairs of the hotel...
"Really not going to join us? I thought maybe..."
Bright, the leader of Shining Adventures, sat in the restaurant and said sincerely to Suldak.
Suldak was struggling to deal with the cream cake and fresh milk matcha in front of him, he wiped his lips, raised his head and said to Bright:
"No need, I'm retiring from the army this time, and I just want to go back to my hometown to stay for a while. Too many comrades died on the battlefield. It was originally agreed... I want to go back to Hailansa together, but it's a pity that I can come back this time Yes, only me."
Bright said regretfully: "Well, if you want to join the adventure group, you might as well give priority to our Shining Adventure Group. If you want, I can give you the best treatment."
Probably because he thought about it, he asked Surdak to give up the cabin, which made the two people's first meeting not so pleasant.
Suldak took a sip of fresh milk matcha and said calmly: "It's really unnecessary."
"Okay! I hope you can change your mind at any time." Bright said with some frustration.
Then he wrote another line on a note, handed it to Surdak, and said with a serious face: "This is the temporary contact address of our Shining Adventure Group in Bena Province. If you want to find us, You can send letters here, sometimes we have missions and cannot reply to you in time, but as long as I receive it, I will definitely reply to you..."
…
"Thank you for your help. I owe you a favor. If there is anything I need to do, please come to Constantinople in Naren City to find me."
The silver armored knight named Michael Owen said this to Suldak on the magic airship.
A week later, the magic airship successfully arrived at the city of Bena in the province of Bena.
