Chapter 599: What Happened in the Capital (Part )

Walk into the city along the wide road outside the city.

The first place they came to was the trade zone which occupied nearly a quarter of the area of ​​the royal capital Starosh.

Before the city walls were built, the trade zone was just a flat open space along the western coast of the Shelter Plain.

Goods and commodities from all over the mainland are shipped here and sold to different customers in different categories.

As the scale of the market grew, the area became more and more crowded. Competition for customers and trade disputes arose frequently, and small-scale frictions and conflicts continued, even affecting the normal travel and life of the residents of the royal capital.

The king at that time issued an order, in the form of regulations, to designate this huge market as the exclusive trading zone of the royal capital. Any merchant must abide by the relevant regulations of the trade zone before doing business in the royal capital trade zone. Violators will be subject to different levels of punishment such as warnings, fines, flogging, detention and even execution.

Since then, the trade zone has gradually become orderly.

Today, it has developed into the largest trade market in the entire Reyak Kingdom and also the largest in the entire Plantis continent.

Food, wine, meat, textiles, condiments, utensils, metal products, medicines, dyes, perfumes, essences, monster materials, and various unique materials...

As long as it is something that can be collected on the mainland, there will definitely be a corresponding shop or stall selling it here.

There is nothing you can't buy in the Royal Capital Trade Zone, except what you can't think of.

According to surveys conducted by statistics officials in previous years, there are more than 37000 shops and stalls officially registered and opened in the trade zone, not counting those that operate illegally without licenses.

The types of goods sold can only be described as all-encompassing.

If you want to tour the trade zone in its entirety, it will take at least a whole month!

A special profession called "introducer" has even gradually emerged here.

The introducers are often local people from the capital who are eloquent, quick-witted, and very familiar with the trade zone.

Just spend a small fee to hire them, no matter what you want to buy or sell in the capital, they can take you to the right store at the first time, saving a lot of time;

Moreover, you can get a certain percentage of discount through the relationship of the introducer;

The introducers often have some connections with the local tyrants, pickpockets, thieves, and con men in the royal capital. With them leading the way, those guys who make money by their skills will mostly "let them off" for the sake of the introducers.

When Gale, Reina, Brandon and Dolan were walking through the trade zone, they looked around. The knowledgeable introducer could tell at a glance that they were newcomers who had rarely been to the capital.

"Sir, do you need an introducer's service? It only costs 1 silver coin to hire for one day, saving you time and energy!"

"The introducers here are all young and strong guys. If you hire them for 3 days or more, you can get a 9.7% discount!"

"Madam, the capital has just received a batch of jewelry from Green Harbor. If you are interested, I can take you there to have a look. A beautiful lady deserves the most gorgeous gems!"

"Do you need your weapon maintained? We know where the best blacksmith shop in the capital is. We guarantee that we can make your weapon as good as new!"

"..."

I was approached at least ten times along the way.

Brandon and Dolan looked around with great interest. The dazzling array of sights around them almost made them unable to walk. In addition to the nearly 4 shops and stalls in the trade zone, there were also many interesting performances and amusement projects.

The snake trainers from the southern border of the kingdom are rangers who are proficient in the art of "talking with animals". They can communicate with snakes by playing the flute, making them display various magical gestures.
The goblins were shouting and trying to sell the gashapon machines they had brought all the way to the capital to the customers passing by: "You can spin once for 5 copper coins, and the chances of winning are very high!"

There were many children from the royal capital nearby, looking at the child who had just spin out a paper-cut eagle from the gashapon machine with admiration.

A circus that came from somewhere. A clown was standing on a big rubber ball, tossing seven colorful balls back and forth, and spitting out bubbles of different colors from his mouth.

Gale saw the secret behind the other party's trick at a glance. There was a level 1 wizard behind him who cast a spell on the ball, allowing it to float in the air for a short time, so the technical content of this performance was not particularly high;

As for those colorful bubbles, they were the effect of the potion. Gail had heard of potions with similar effects.

There are also stalls for playing cards and dice on the roadside, with simple rules of size.

Gambling is not banned in the royal capital, but except for a few franchised casinos, other places involving games such as cards and dice are prohibited from placing unlimited bets.

In the trade zone, the temporary roadside stalls can earn you only a few coins to play a game.

There are so many stalls selling food that it's hard to choose.

Gail, Brandon and others walked in the trade zone for a while, and it was noon.

On the mobile bread cart, the black bread with wheat aroma gradually expands in the oven. If you bring some meat with you, you can ask the baker to help you put it in the bread and bake it together. This service is free.

Therefore, the air is also filled with a rich aroma of meat.

They are even more common at deli stalls, where small pies are often filled with chopped fruit, ham, chicken, fish, or fillings such as cheese and eggs.

If the customer requests, the pie can be made into a pie very quickly with just a little wait.

"King's Pie" is a savory pie with two eggs beaten in it, stuffed with ham and a few raisins. The name comes from King Reyak, who once loved to eat this kind of pie for breakfast.

This is also the most famous pie recipe in the royal capital of Starosh.

There are also some mobile vendors who simply hold or carry trays. Many of them are women from the vicinity of the royal capital. The trays and baskets are filled with fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, smoked fish, honey, sauces, and occasionally vendors selling pancakes, wraps, and cookies.

If a traveler from another place is short of money and cannot afford bread and pie, he can also buy a handful of cooked peas from the stall and ask the stall owner to sprinkle some seasoning on them, which will also taste good.

The four of them bought four servings of king pie at the delicatessen stall, and ate them while walking, enjoying them very much.

"The taste hasn't changed at all!" After taking a bite, Reina said happily, "My father bought this for me when he brought me to the capital to take a boat to Green Harbor. That was the first time I ate a real king's pie!"

“The authentic taste that can only be tasted in the capital!”

……

There will be more later. The plot of the capital will be written in a little more detail. This is an important place.
