Chapter 91 Dilas Seaport
The sound of seagulls and the sound of broken waves made by the waves hitting the reefs uncontrollably flowing into the ears.
The sea breeze with a fishy smell and the sunset light that was only a little higher than the room temperature were blowing on the surface at the same time. These were the first time Zhu Jue felt after crossing the door.
The hazy fog in front of me dissipated, and after a brief dizziness, Zhu Jue opened his eyes.
As the Black Swan said, the exit was on a shore of the Dilas Harbour. At the sight of the eyes were strange reefs, shellfish and moss attached to it. A little further away, there was a breakwater made of granite, and the steps on both sides were vaguely visible.
At this time, the fantasy dream is about to come to night, and only half of the sunset on the sea level is left. Taking advantage of the last natural light before the arrival of the night, Zhujue stood on a reef and looked out at the harbour.
The expression is really not good-looking.
Zhu Jue had many speculations about Dilas Harbour.
The Great Elder Atal once told him that this is the closest commercial and goods distribution center in Usa Town, and merchants from all parts of Fantasy Dreamland will come here to trade. Therefore, in Zhujue's heart, Dilas Port should be an extremely prosperous business port. Based on the bustling city of Neil and the tranquility of Wusa Town, Zhujue's view of Fantasy Dreamland has been quite good so far, thinking that he might be able to see a different scenery here.
However, what appeared in front of Zhu Jue was the towering black towers all over the Dilas Harbor. The entire harbor city was blocked among these black towers built mostly of basalt, as if a bowl of white rice was embedded with a large amount of black gravel. The rice was good, but it made people have no desire to sip.
Zhu Jue's first impression of this place was really not good, and he could even be called disgusted. He walked onto the breakwater and approached the city, and this emotion became more and more obvious.
The streets between the black towers are both dark and boring, not to mention that they do not have any decent decorations, and even the basic spacious and bright halls are not considered. The gloomy seafarers' taverns crowded around the pier can only make the place more lively, but even so, it will be uncomfortable to just take a few glances.
"Why is the environment here like this? What is the special significance of these black tower buildings?"
After walking for a while, Zhu Jue looked at the approaching Black Tower, but still couldn't help it, and turned around and asked with a look of surprise.
"I don't know that the Port of Hylandis in the north and the Port of Salephis in the east are both extremely prosperous large port cities, especially the latter, which belongs to the big cities that are famous in the entire dream world. In contrast, the situation of Dilas Harbor is very special. The area of this city is actually not much worse than that of Hylandis and Salephis. It's just that these black towers have made the layout of the entire city look extremely gloomy... No one knows where these black towers come from, and asks the local people, they also say that they have existed a long time ago. The gentleman believes that it is probably created by a dream maker with extremely strong thinking ability, because these black towers are difficult to create with the construction technology in the past in the dream world."
There are too many strange things in the fantasy dream, such as this large-scale black tower. Even the black swans and gentlemen who have been living in the fantasy dream for many years cannot explain it, so they can only give a guess.
"I haven't knocked it open to see it?"
Zhu Jue pointed to a black tower that was more than ten meters high near him. With his personality, he must have smashed this kind of thing to take a look.
"The black towers made of these basalts are extremely strong in texture. If you want to destroy them, ordinary weapons cannot even leave scratches. The gentleman once tried to use the strong corrosive potion brought in the real world. Although it did corrode part of it, it seemed to contain some special power. After one night, the broken part was completely repaired, and the governor on the harbor did not allow these black towers to be destroyed. The locals believed that they might be something to guard the port..."
The Black Swan answered helplessly, perhaps in order to avoid other strange questions that Zhu Jue might have asked, she deliberately changed the topic.
"I will take you to our trading station on the harbor to let the people here know that you have succeeded Mr. Gentleman's property, and then I will take you to the place where the scorching box is placed. The treasure needs to be kept in a special place because of its own particularity."
"Yeah, hurry up."
Speaking of the scorching box, Zhu Jue's attention was immediately taken back from the surrounding black towers, and followed the black swan to the gentleman's merchant station in Dilas Harbour.
It has to be admitted that although Zhu Jue was a little disliked when he looked at Dilas Harbour by the sea before, this city is indeed as Black Swan said, both in terms of land area and population, at least several times larger than Neil City.
The location of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce Station is in the area near the dock and bordering the residential area.
I don’t know if this gentleman is particularly obsessed with the word “Shuojin”. Not only does he use this name to cheat, but he even has to name his own chamber of commerce in Fantasy Dreamland.
"The various stations of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce are similar. The main body is large warehouses and exchanges for the distribution of goods and temporary storage. The ancillary facilities include taverns and hotels. In large cities like Dilas Harbour, there will be some other extended services such as carriage rental and accounting points... Your residence is near the inn, and you can directly overlook the operation of the entire inn."
Along the street paved with gray stone bricks, the black swan introduced the business of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce to Zhujue while walking.
As a person who came from the real world to the dream world, the various business models and concepts he knew were undoubtedly much higher than the development of this world. This is the progress brought about by the development of civilization. Coupled with the "working" of gentlemen and their temporary workers, the development of the entire Shuojin Chamber of Commerce was extremely smooth and was well-known in a few years. Even in such a large harbor city, they have their own place.
When Zhu Jue and the Black Swan came here, it happened to be the time to receive goods at night. Many merchants were driving trucks dragged by zebras to the station to unload goods. Occasionally, they could see some slave-catching teams. Their vehicles were more, mostly carried cages, and each had to be loaded with 3 to 5 adults or children.
"Human trafficking is allowed in this world... These are the people from the slave hunting team, from Pag."
Noting that Zhu Jue's eyes were falling on the vehicles carrying slaves, perhaps because he was worried that he was dissatisfied with this behavior, the Black Swan explained carefully.
"Get in."
He responded without comment. Zhu Jue naturally couldn't like this kind of behavior, but he knew that he could not stop such "legal" business activities, so he simply lost sight of it.
"Wait, what you look like..."
The black swan stopped Zhu Jue and reminded him.
After the gentleman's business over the years, it is naturally impossible for the Black Swan to be the only one confidant in Fantasy Dreamland. The latter will also return to the real world. The Shuojin Chamber of Commerce will not stop operating. It is naturally necessary to cultivate personnel in Fantasy Dreamland. Because of this, in the real world, Zhujue needs to become a gentleman to sign various documents. Fantasy Dreamland will undoubtedly have to go through the process.
It may even be more complicated here. After all, Fantasy Dreamland does not have online videos. The handover of the position of the Chamber of Commerce president must be known to people from all departments under the name of Shuojin Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately, the scavenger can come to Fantasy Dreamland with Zhu Jue, so the name of a gentleman can continue to be used, so the handover of the location will be much smoother.
As expected, the strength of the gentleman is not only reflected in the real world, but also in the dreamland. When the gentleman, the president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce and the black swan appeared at the gate of the station together, the branch president responsible for the operation of the station was almost running out all the way to say hello, for fear that the president would be unhappy if he would step too late.
"President, why don't you notify me in advance if you are coming? We have no preparations here..."
The middle-aged man with a bloated body was struggling to bow half-watch his hands together, and his face was filled with smiles.
"Why, I'm going to come, and I have to go through your consent first?"
Zhu Jue actually didn't know the guy in front of him at all, but on the way he came, he also heard the Black Swan talk about his gentlemanly temper. Now he imitates eight points, but at least five points. The person in charge of this kind of station naturally dared not question anything.
In fact, when Zhu Jue's tone was cold, the sweat on the middle-aged man's face began to "sprinkle".
"No, no, no, it's my honor to be here. I don't know what you need?"
After waving his hands repeatedly, he will definitely not have a bad rap level when he is a trainee for two years.
"The president is here to announce some things. You are going to find all the people in charge of the inn now."
The black swan took the conversation and said under the pale face of the middle-aged man. The latter obviously thought that his position might be out of order and was nervous.
After the management staff in the station gathered, the entire Dilas Harbour had completely come to night.
On the second floor of the inn office, the heads of several departments in the inn were standing side by side, their faces were a little ugly. The president suddenly came to the door without any notice and had not given the person in charge here at the door. The boss was criticized. How good can the people under him be?
Anyone thought something was going to happen.
"There is a major announcement to call you here this time... Mr. President will enter a semi-retreat due to some important matters in the near future. Starting from tomorrow, the position of President of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce will be replaced by Mr. Zhu Jue, appointed by the president. He will arrive at Dilas Harbor tomorrow morning. Mr. President has an urgent matter to leave, so he comes here to notify you in advance. In addition, I need you to notify the news at the fastest speed of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce in various regions. Be sure to let everyone know that the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce will welcome a new president!"
Just like in the real world, Zhu Jue's current role is to act as a tool for the work of the black swan. As long as he appears here as a gentleman, the black swan's words will undoubtedly have absolute authority, and these people in front of him are witnesses.
