Chapter 104 The City of Glory
Standing on the mountain that is the only way to pass, on the top of the mountain, looking down, you can suddenly see a giant city full of Southern European flavor!
In the city, the cathedral with a spire is quite spectacular and shocking. Busy pedestrians walk on the neat stone paths in the city. Some colorful flags float on the roof or the top of the city walls, painted with patterns that Lin Tian is very familiar with - the cross pattern! The logo of Christ Jesus!
But of course this city cannot be the cross religion on earth.
In fact, this cross pattern shows that they are orthodox factions who believe in the beast god Carlos.
When the beast god Carlos fell into a deep sleep and lacked the God's arrangements and responses, the religious leaders, both humans and orcs, began to fall astray.
This led to a split. Although everyone still believed in the same god in general, the inside was covered with cracks and divided into many factions. This orthodox school, also known as the traditional school, is the leader of the current beast god religious faction.
Speaking of which, the location of the City of Glory is quite special. It is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms of the Kingdom of Noah, the Orcs and the Faspis. Therefore, caravans have come here in three places, making it famous all over the world for its amazing and prosperous commercial trade!
It is the well-deserved commercial capital of the entire Noah Kingdom! Even the trading city that the Noah royal family has worked hard to run for a hundred years, it is impossible to compare with the prosperity and prosperity of this city of glory!
The headquarters of the Commercial Guild, the headquarters of the Thieves Guild, and even the famous Expedition Guild are all located in this famous city in the human camp.
Lin Tian followed the caravan to approach the city gate. After marveling at the world that the city tower with a thickness of 10 meters, Lin Tian paid 10 gold coins introductory tax and took his carriage to enter this prosperous indigenous city.
On both sides of the street, in addition to the holy church of the Beast God and the neat and standardized residential buildings, Lin Tian suddenly discovered that there was a dome temple, a building that was heretical to the orthodox faction.
"Rafa, I remember that the City of Glory is an orthodox believer. Why can you see reformist buildings here?" Lin Tian, who was walking on the spacious stone slab, asked casually.
At this time, Rafa showed a complacent smile, as if proud of being a citizen of the City of Glory: "Your Highness, this is a City of Glory!"
“Every year, there are batches of business people from different countries and races coming here to trade.”
"Our city of glory was based on business since its founding. Since the construction of a dome-shaped reformist temple helped those merchants of the reformist faith to engage in business transactions more happily and make us richer, why don't we build a construction? And as far as I know, the cost of those construction comes from the wealthy merchants in the reformist faction."
"Dad Alpha, who has been dead for many years, said that whether they believe in orthodox or reformists, they will become their closest partners and close friends in front of gold coins!"
"Swords can turn because of a gold coin. Wars can be won by swords and spears, but gold coins can be achieved." Lin Tian sighed softly when he heard this.
Rafa was slightly stunned and showed a hint of surprise: "Sir, it turns out that you also know the famous sayings of our Grand Duke Rhodes."
"Haha." Lin Tian smiled, but he was muttering in his heart: "Damn, someone has said this first! Could this Grand Duke Rhode also be a time traveler? If it is true, he will be really sad. At least dozens of gods are taking his ideas and preparing to destroy his foundation."
Walking through a street, Lin Tian was able to see the most spacious and magnificent building in the entire City of Glory - Shenhen Square!
This huge square is located in the center of the City of Glory. In the square, it is neatly filled with various shops, countless merchants and citizens linger here and conduct transactions in accordance with the commercial laws of the City of Glory.
On the east of the square is the magnificent Council Hall of the City of Glory. This marble building similar to the Greek temple lives in the most powerful person in the City of Glory! Grand Duke Rhodes - Cres Rod!
On the north of the square, the headquarters of the commercial guild is located. Merchants from all over the world who come here to trade often come here to register first. Many people are willing to hand over the goods directly to the commercial guild for processing. After all, the credibility of the guild has been tested for a long time.
Lin Tian’s purpose is also here.
Rafa followed Lin Tian and stopped in fear at the head office of the Commercial Guild.
This is not a place where a person like him can enter!
Lin Tian noticed Rafa's uneasiness and smiled slightly and turned around and said, "Follow me, you are my subordinates now."
"Sir!" Rafa was a little excited. He asked him to follow him into such a high-end club. Did he express his approval of his intention?
The mercenary guarding the headquarters of the Commercial Guild saw Lin Tian’s clothes, which were neat and clean, and were incredibly smooth, so they let both of them walk in without stopping.
Compared to the noisy outside, the lobby inside the commercial guild headquarters is much quieter.
Here there are high-end soft blankets and precious fragrant wooden tables and chairs. Poppy businessmen discuss business opportunities in groups from three to five, and occasionally drink champagne or grape wine delivered by beautiful maids.
Lin Tian's arrival attracted the attention of some merchants, but they were cautious and did not go to talk to the rare black-haired and black-eyed businessman, but chose to wait and see.
"Welcome to friends from afar." A fat man with a fat face full of fat and smiled extremely vulgarly walked down the stairs on the second floor.
His eyes narrowed into a slit due to too much fat, making Lin Tian look at the clown who suspected that he had met this era.
However, the pointed turban on his head made Lin Tian alert. It was a symbol of the reformist faction. According to Rafa's intelligence, the country of the reformist believers is thousands of miles away from the City of Glory. The merchants who can come and enter the headquarters of this commercial guild are absolutely impossible to be a good stake!
"Hello." Lin Tian smiled and nodded.
The fat businessman smiled and stroked his hands and said, "Looking at the appearance of the distinguished guest, it should be from a place farther away than the Faspiritan Kingdom."
"Yes." Lin Tian didn't care about this, no! It should be said that Lin Tian planned to make good use of his advantage!
That is him! It is the only noble businessman from the legendary elves on this land!
"When I come, by your name, it is called an elf!" Lin Tian's words immediately caused a burst of murmur among the merchant group.
Elf!
That is only recorded in ancient biography. Because of the suppression of orcs, elves have not appeared in the Kingdom of Noah for many years, let alone caravans representing elves.
The elves' kingdom is the legendary magical country! The country of natural spices!
The value of magic props and spices made many merchants jealous and excited.
The fat on the face of the reformist fat businessman also shook for a while.
"So... it turns out to be a businessman from the Elf Kingdom! I wonder why you came to this city of glory for? My name is Apudule Ali, you can call me Ali."
"Apudule?" Lin Tian raised his lips slightly and gave him a noble ceremony.
"It turns out to be the servant of the noble. I don't know, Ali, which servant of His Highness, you are?" Lin Tian showed his benefits at this time. Although he had only read it once in a very small amount of information, Lin Tian still remembered that Apudule represented the servant of the noble. He sensitively noticed the identity of the merchant from the other party's name, so he asked on purpose.
At the same time, this is also to shock the other party’s reformist businessman: I am not a novice businessman, and I also know a lot about you.
Ali's face disappeared for the first time: "Praise the Beast God, which actually made me meet such an outstanding businessman. I think this is why you have gained the trust of the elves."
He continued to whisper: "My master is the great Lord of Cairo, the King of Desert - Shadili!"
"It's His Highness Khalid Khadi Li in the Cairo Kingdom?" Lin Tian deliberately showed a surprised expression and bowed slightly.
"Haha, it was just by chance that I could think that Your Highness was loyal to the arrangement of the Beast God." Ali said loudly with a laugh, obviously he felt very proud of himself as the master's servant.
After meeting this reformist businessman, Lin Tian and Ali began a passionate conversation.
The merchants around all secretly blamed themselves for being too cautious and missing the opportunity to meet noble people.
However, some businessmen also looked at Lin Tian with a hint of confusion, as if they were still suspicious of Lin Tian’s identity.
"Your Highness Lin Tian, why do the elves want a human to represent?" Ali finally asked the doubt in his heart when the atmosphere was enough.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "They are still waiting outside. In fact, I have only been in contact with the elves for the past two years. However, my father is a friend of the elder of the elves. In fact, this time I am one of them, and there is another one who is a real elves."
"So that's it. I wonder what goods you brought this time?"
"Are the goods? There are only a small number of equipment and some specialties. After all, we aim to explore the way at this time, so there are not many goods, and a lot of them were sold when we passed through the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Noah."
"So that's it." Ali was a little disappointed. He also wanted to buy some magic props unique to the elves to make a fortune.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Lin Tian asked: "I'm afraid I'll stay in this land for quite some time, so I plan to engage in trade."
"Haha." Ali smiled: "This disappoints you. I'm here to sell gold."
"Gold?" Lin Tian asked in a low voice, showing a very interested expression.
In fact, deep down, Lin Tian is indeed quite interested in the gold mentioned by Alibaba!
