Quantum Godhead

Chapter 20 Capital of Commerce

() The bright sunshine in late spring and early summer shines on the crowded pier of Bangara Freeport, dyeing the harbor with an even layer of light gold.However, the dock workers running around couldn't care less about admiring these, the piled up goods made them too busy to look up.

The densely packed ships of all colors crowded the harbor so that the color of the sea water could hardly be seen.In fact, Bangara Bay is not small, but the free port is too prosperous. Rows of pier walkways stretch neatly along the wide bay into the sea, and the moored ships almost fill the gaps between the walkways.Each boat needs to be pulled by the pulley of the pier for half a day to get in and out smoothly.

Bangara Freeport is the largest commercial port in the southwest of Pangea.At the same time, the teleportation facility in this city is an extremely important support point in Pangea. If Bangara's teleportation array fails, there will be an unknown number of teleportation lines in Pangaea from the frosty land in the extreme south to the glacier sea in the extreme north. To be paralyzed.

Relying solely on Bangara's teleportation array, the city has brought taxes that ordinary cities dare not expect, and this is only a small part of Bangara's total income.The bigger ones come from the prosperous seaport and the developed financial industry in the city.

The Chiero Chamber of Commerce, which controls Bangara, is almost equivalent to the central government of the United States of Commerce.Their businesses spread throughout Amphalon, and the nations of Pangaea depend heavily on their trade routes.Other chambers of commerce in the United States will voluntarily abide by the business rules issued by Ziero, which is also a rather unique feature of the United States of Commerce.There is no unified law, but there is a unified commercial order. The most unshakable one in this order is: money determines the right to speak.

Horace was walking on the crowded cobbled sidewalks of Bangara, and he was almost dazzled by the various shop slogans and signs and advertisements decorated with magic crystal lamps.In fact, the streets of the city are quite wide, wider than the main road in Daronville, but they are still too narrow for the huge flow of people.The middle of the road is only used for horse-drawn carriages and some express vehicles. If pedestrians cross the road and have an accident, they will not only bear the consequences themselves, but also pay for the loss.

Just now, Heras saw a magic apprentice stepping out of the sidewalk impatiently, and was hit to death by a galloping iron-armored rhinoceros. Afterwards, members of the Ziero Chamber of Commerce came to deal with it, and ordered the apprentice to do so after only one glance. Relatives give compensation to the owner of the rhinoceros.The rules of the capital world are so ruthless...

Just as there is no unified law in this country, there is no unified overall style in Bangalore City.The city is like a hodgepodge, with buildings of different styles from various countries piled up in disorder along the roadside.Many merchants in the United States come from all over the world in Anfalong, and there is no unified planning of the city hall. Except for the necessary space for the road, other places are a model of illegal construction.....

Those slogan ribbons dyed with dazzling colors are hung everywhere in the high points of the city. The fluttering trademark ribbons have a feeling of covering the sky. Sometimes too much business information is also a trouble. The more choices, the more tangled. It's not yet known how many pitfalls there are.Businessmen who are not good-sighted will only be completely overwhelmed by this information, and it is foolish to make money from it.

"If the Internet can be promoted, then I will definitely become the biggest super rich man in all human planes..." Heras fancied for a while.But he was just thinking about it. He had seen the space financial city of the Federation, and he was only curious about Bangara, and was not shocked by this great commercial capital.And he's more interested in magic than wealth.

"Even with the help of all kinds of extremely expensive medicines, the rich and powerful can't live to be two hundred years old, but as long as I advance to the level of a doctor, I can live for about 300 years. Besides, I am a man who wants to become a legend ..." Heras thought without shame.

Compared with his calm and calm expression, the female elf Sally who was following behind was already stunned by the city. The visual impacts one after another and the dazzling array of goods made her have no chance to close her mouth now. Heras felt that If she keeps opening her mouth like this, her jaw may be dislocated.

After they identified the location in a small town near the Wind and Sand Wall a few weeks ago, Heras decided to go to Bangara. In fact, there are three cities in the United States that have teleportation arrays going to the Principality of Polatti. Bangla was chosen because The Chamber of Commerce that controls the other two cities, one is inextricably linked to the Quicksand Empire, and the other is simply Odin’s spokesperson in the United States of Commerce. Their teleportation arrays are the starting points of teleportation, and they will organize the teleportation records in detail.And Bangara's teleportation array is a large transfer point, where many teleportation points are cross-distributed, and it is impossible to record in detail for the huge flow of people.Moreover, the Qiero Chamber of Commerce promised in good faith that as long as the money is given, anyone can send it at will without leaving any records.

Heras pulled Sally, and she was stuck in front of a window displaying all kinds of magic crossbows. Those magic equipments were excellent from Heras's point of view, but the price was also outrageous.

"Sir, don't you want to choose one for your partner?" A clerk behind the counter saw this scene and joked to Heras with a smile.

"I don't know her..." Heras said with a dry smile, twitching the corners of his mouth.What a joke, let Sally be his partner, he would rather die again... Those disgusting parchments have left an indelible impression on his heart.

After saying that, Heras turned his head and walked forward on his own. If the female elf didn't follow, let her stay in Bangara, which just saved him trouble.

Before taking a few steps, Sally trotted to keep up. While running, she turned her head to look at the store, her eyes were full of reluctance, as if she was saying goodbye to her hometown... "When will I be able to have that store One of them..." Sally said dreamily.

Seeing that Heras didn't speak, the female elf continued to ask, "Am I worth even the lowest price among those things just now?"

Heras looked at her speechlessly, women like to measure their own value like this? "To be honest, you are not worth... not even a bowstring, but your blood can buy the entire store." Heras replied casually.

Hearing this sentence, Sally clicked her tongue, "So I'm so valuable... It seems that the service charge will be a little more expensive in the future." Then she tentatively asked: "You won't sell me here It's..."

"Does it make any difference to you whether you sell it or not? Anyway, you have been selling it yourself." Heras didn't want to talk to her anymore.

"At least I'm free... If I'm sold as a slave, I will lose my most precious thing." Sally said softly.

Heras turned her head and glanced at her. He was a little surprised that this rude female elf could say such a sentence.

No longer talking, Heras began to concentrate on distinguishing the street signs to find the nearby carriage station.He was going to take a carriage to the headquarters of the Council of Magic of the United States. Bangara was a gathering place for the rich. For the safety of big businessmen, flying around this city was prohibited except for members of the Ziero Chamber of Commerce.

Because it felt that the tax was too low, the Ziero Chamber of Commerce once wanted to drive the Magic Council out of Bangara and run the teleportation array by itself.The final result proved that although Ziero has strong business intuition and huge financial resources, it is a bit difficult for this chamber of commerce to maintain a large transmission hub. Ziero lacks experience in this area... ...It is very problematic to use the general teleportation array maintenance method to maintain the teleportation hub of Bangara. During the period of operation of the chamber of commerce, there were numerous failures. Several powerful empires in the north and south of Pangea issued warnings to Qiero and Threatening, ongoing failures have severely hampered the high-end transport network in the north and south.

In desperation, Ziero had no choice but to restart negotiations with the Magic Council of the United States of Commerce. Due to the previous embarrassment of the Chamber of Commerce, the Magic Council had the upper hand on the negotiating table, and the tax rate of the final transaction was three percentage points lower than the original... .. This is the first time in history that Ziero "suffered" in the mall.

"The space around Bangala is very stable and not very strong. This is a natural transmission center. Coupled with the natural large deep-water port of Bangala Bay, it is impossible for this city not to be prosperous." Heras looked at it I thought while looking at the signpost.This side is the opposite of the frozen cliff of a city in the extreme south of Pangea.The space barriers around the Frozen Cliff are very strong, but the connection between those solid barriers is not very stable, and the cost of teleportation there is astonishingly high.

Heras squeezed forward carefully in the crowd. He didn't feel the famous chaos of the United States of Commerce in this city. Although the Pan-Continental Business Community did not have a unified law enforcement department, the interests of the Great Chamber of Commerce were the interests of the country. , and the public security environment in Bangara is obviously related to Ziero's vital interests.Therefore, the law and order in this city is not bad. As for the unidentified disappearances that often occur in the suburbs around the city, it has nothing to do with Ziero...

"Drug trafficking groups will also maintain the law and order of their own sites..." Heras slandered, there are some big interstellar drug dealers in the Federation, and in the corners of some remote galaxies they occupy, gangsters have replaced the government role.

Guided by the road signs, Heras squeezed into a carriage station with difficulty. He quickly opened the door of the carriage and jumped in, and then closed the door immediately, as if to isolate the hustle and bustle of the city.

"Go to the Magic Council!" Seeing that Heras didn't like this noisy environment, the female elf Sally shouted at the coachman in a pretentious manner. <Read. ;
