Chapter 383: Lü Jiangcheng (1)

Translator: 549690339

In the afternoon, Zhao Hai and the others finally saw lü River City. Lü River City was not only close to the lü River. In fact, they had excavated a moat and a city-crossing river to guide the water of lü River to the outside of lü River City. It became the moat, and another branch was led into lü River to become the city-crossing river. Therefore, apart from the ordinary city gate, lü River City had two Watergate. These two Watergate gates allowed some small and medium-sized warships to pass through.

Lü Jiang city was huge. It was a large city with a population of over a million. In this era where there were not many high-rise buildings, one could imagine how big this city was.

Zhao Hai and the others entered the city from the West Gate. Once they entered the city, Zhao Hai felt that there was something different about the city. The first thing was the people. There were a lot of people in the city. Zhao Hai had never seen so many people before, even in the capital of the Arkas Empire. The streets were filled with people. If it wasn’t for the fact that these people were wearing different clothes from those on earth, Zhao Hai would have thought that he had returned to China.

Fortunately, they had so many guards to clear the way for them. When the pedestrians saw this, they all hid far away, and no one dared to approach them.

Very quickly, they arrived at the entrance of Sheila hotel in lü Jiang city. The hotel in lü Jiang city was obviously different from the other Sheila hotels in other places. This hotel was very tall. Zhao Hai counted and found that this building alone was more than ten stories high. On this continent without concrete, it was very rare to be able to build such a tall building.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, the waiter immediately came out to greet them. The waiter obviously knew might and immediately took their mounts to the backyard to take care of them.

It was the same for Zhao Hai’s car. They didn’t need to care about Zhao Hai’s car. Someone would naturally take care of their car. As soon as he entered the hotel, the store manager greeted him. This store manager was called Amay, and he was very tall. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was wearing the silk clothes of a business man, Zhao Hai would have thought that he had met a warrior.

The manager didn’t say much to Zhao Hai. He immediately arranged the best room in the hotel for Zhao Hai and the others to rest in.

To Zhao Hai’s surprise, the hotel had a facility similar to an electric power house. This facility was powered by magic crystals. Not only Zhao Hai, but even Laura was surprised.

One had to know that these magic crystal-powered elevators were free. One could imagine how much energy it would take to use such an elevator. Other than big hotels like the Sheila hotel, ordinary places couldn’t afford to use it.

The biggest difference between the Sheila hotel in lü Jiang city and other Sheila hotels was that there were many guests here, and the business was extremely good. Here, one could see well-dressed aristocrats and businessmen in silk clothes everywhere. All of this showed that this hotel was extraordinary.

The guests in the hotel didn’t pay much attention to Zhao Hai and the others when they saw them. They thought that Zhao Hai and the others were also from Sheila’s family since they had come with will and the others.

After staying in the hotel, Zhao Hai immediately released an Eagle to send a letter to Ivan. The reason why he didn’t send a letter to Ivan a while ago was that he didn’t know where they were going to stop. Now that they had stopped at lü Jiang city, he had to send a letter to Ivan and ask him to take ruien back.

This time, Zhao Hai didn’t let Shunyi ride the Eagle. Last time, he wanted to test the Eagle, but this time, he didn’t need to. It was winter, and the Eagle was fast and high, making it very cold.

Ivan’s reply came very quickly. He had sent an Eagle back that night. However, he didn’t ask ruien to wait for someone to pick him up in Lujiang city. Instead, he asked Zhao Hai to take ruien to Tianshui city. He would send a ship there to pick him up.

This surprised Zhao Hai. However, he was more concerned about her intelligence. Ruien was not someone who was easy to serve. Zhao Hai had a headache whenever he saw her.

In the past, ruien had caused trouble for Zhao Hai with the icksa family. Now, he was very honest, but he was too honest. Zhao Hai was not confident in his actions.

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhao Hai told Ryan about Ivan’s intentions and asked might to arrange a boat for him. It was a piece of cake for might, but they wouldn’t be able to leave today. They would have to wait until the next day.

Zhao Hai didn’t mind. Although there were ships from lü Jiang city to Tianshui city every day, there were some ships that couldn’t be taken because there would be Pirates on those ships. It wasn’t safe to take those ships.

Although Zhao Hai wasn’t afraid of them, Wei Li had to consider this. Zhao Hai asked Wei Li to help arrange for him. If he ended up on a pirate ship, Wei Li would be embarrassed.

Zhao Hai stayed in lü Jiang city for another day. He did not stay idle. Lü Jiang city was a major trading city and had a wide range of items. Zhao Hai had purchased quite a number of items here, most of which were items that the people of the Prairie needed.

What did the people of the Prairie need the most? One was grain, two was salt, and three was iron!

There was no need to talk about food. The most lacking thing in the grassland was food. Salt was almost the same. Even the orcs needed salt. It was the same for iron. The grassland almost didn’t produce iron. All iron was transported from the human world.

For the humans, these things were nothing special. Zhao Hai’s food was produced every day, so there was nothing to worry about. He only bought some salt and iron, and some other living supplies.

After living on the grasslands for so long, he knew what the people there needed. With Laura’s help, Zhao Hai wasn’t worried about buying useless things.

Might didn’t say anything about Zhao Hai’s actions. In fact, this was more like what a businessman would do. If a businessman didn’t think about making money, would he still be a businessman if he thought about war?

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhao Hai and the others set off. They went straight to the pier outside of lü River City. There was a cargo ship that was familiar with Sheila’s family that was heading to Tianshui city. They took that ship to go.

When they arrived at the pier, Zhao Hai was really a little stunned. This law river pier was really not to be underestimated. There were no less than a thousand large and small cargo ships, and the largest cargo ship could carry nearly a thousand catties of cargo. This was not a small number.

Fortunately, the law River was wide and deep enough. Otherwise, it would not be able to accommodate so many cargo ships. Zhao Hai and the others boarded a cargo ship called the shunjiang. This cargo ship was one of the larger ones among the cargo ships. It seemed to be able to load more than 1000 cargo ships. There were three masts on the ship, and it could also be used as a passenger ship.

Wei Li had already made arrangements for Zhao Hai and the others. Not only did they have their own rooms, but even their cars and demonic beasts had been arranged.

This was Zhao Hai’s first time on a ship ever since he arrived on the ark continent. He had taken a ship before on earth, but the ships on earth were all made of metal. He had never seen a ship like this before.

After boarding the ship, Wei Li specially introduced Zhao Hai to the captain of the shunjiang. The captain’s name was stark. He had a big beard and was very tall. Perhaps it was because he had been on the ship all year round, his skin was dark and rough, and he looked like he had been through a lot. However, he was forthright when the time came, and he seemed to know power.

However, this wasn’t the reason why Zhao Hai paid attention to stark. What caught Zhao Hai’s attention was the fact that he was actually a 7th-tier warrior. He could already be considered an expert.

Zhao Hai then took note of the sailors on the ship. They were not weak and were armed with weapons. There were also a few bed puppets on the ship.

Zhao Hai didn’t pay much attention to it. Cargo ships like this might go out to sea sometimes. They had to have the ability to protect themselves at sea, so it was normal to bring weapons.

Moreover, the ship was arranged by might. He wouldn’t arrange for a ship that he couldn’t trust, so Zhao Hai was very assured. After getting Stark’s permission, Zhao Hai even looked around the ship.

Other than Zhao Hai and his group, there were about 100 passengers on the ship. Some of them were merchants, and some were civilians who were going to Tianshui city. It was obvious that the low-class rooms on this ship were not very expensive.

Zhao Hai asked around. From lü Jiang city to celestial water city, it would take about five days by boat. If they were to travel by land, it would take at least half a month.

The law River was wide, and there were no waves, so nothing happened along the way. However, meg was still a little seasick, so Zhao Hai had to ask her to stay in her room on the boat. In fact, Zhao Hai had asked her to go back to the origin space as soon as she entered her room.

As Laura had traveled a lot these years, she didn’t have any seasickness. Instead, she was very spirited. She followed Zhao Hai everywhere on the ship, so did Nier. Ryan was surprisingly honest. As soon as he got on the boat, he hid in his room and never came out again.

If not for Ryan’s normal behavior, Zhao Hai would have thought that he had autism. He was too honest. Although Zhao Hai traveled with Ryan every day, he could not see him every day. Ryan ate his three meals a day in his room. He barely stopped when he was on the road. Even when Zhao Hai and the others lived in tents in the wilderness, Ryan would hide in his own tent. His main purpose was to avoid Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai had gotten used to it, but he was still worried. He was afraid that Ruian would suffocate him and make him sick. If something really happened, he would have a hard time explaining it to Yi Wan.

Ivan’s original intention was to let Ryan and Zhao Hai interact more to see if they could still be together. Although Zhao Hai already had Laura and meg, it was common for a man to have multiple wives on the mainland. Ivan only had this idea after seeing Zhao Hai’s change in attitude. However, it seemed like his plan was in vain as Ryan did not even interact with Zhao Hai, let alone marry him.
