The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 205 Ruthwitt
Ever since Linglong said that there is a small town in Eastern China composed of Western businessmen, Lin Tianci has always wanted to visit it.

This is mainly because he heard that there are magicians in the west, and he really wants to know the difference between magicians and monks in the east, and wants to open his eyes.

After all, I have been exposed to it in my previous life, and I have watched movies and games about the background setting of Western Fantasy. It is normal to be somewhat curious about this.

According to the original plan, it would take ten days to travel from You'an City to this small town. Because he was not in a hurry, Lin Tianci planned to eat, drink and have fun along the way, and by the way, he would find a sect that was qualified to participate in the traveling event to challenge him.

As a result, the ghost took away the purple-haired spirit fox, and the original plan was directly disrupted, and he probably didn't have much time to take a look around.

This is somewhat disappointing, but still the same sentence, the town will not run away, and it’s okay to come back to have fun after the work is over.

As the distance got closer, when everyone rushed to the city gate, they just saw the city gate open.

A large group of businessmen who had been waiting to open the door swarmed out, and the carriages full of goods were constantly flowing. They were crushed by ruts all the year round, and the stone road connecting the town had dents.

The composition of the merchants is quite complicated. There are local merchants who look like standard yellow people, and there are also merchants who put on Eastern Shenzhou costumes, but have obvious "foreigner" appearance with blond hair and blue eyes.

Compared with Lin Tianci, who has experience in his previous life, and Jinyu Falcon, who lives here not too far away in You'an City, Meng Wenyan saw these 'foreigners' for the first time, and the expression on his face became very strange, and his eyes widened Just like seeing something unbelievable, his first reaction was to ask Golden Feather Falcon what kind of monsters these blond guys are.

I really want to record his expression and send it to Moments
——If there is a circle of friends.

Like many towns in Eastern China, the name of this place is naturally written on the city gate.

The three of them came to the bottom of the city gate and looked at a row of large characters engraved on the gate.

'Ratherwitt'

It's still transliterated...

Ruthwaite was the first port in Eastern China to open to trade with the West. At that time, this place was still an uninhabited shoal, which happened to be backed by the mouth of a river.

Western adventurers sailed along the coastline around the extreme northern snow region in sea boats, and headed all the way to the south of Eastern China. Because they were too weird for the faces of Easterners, many ports in the north at that time were not available. Allow them to come close.

Later, at this place, the ship got too close and broke down. They had to disembark for repairs, and they had some contact with the nearby residents.

Although the two sides were talking like chickens talking to ducks, they couldn't understand what the other party said at all, but kindness crossed the barrier of words, and the ending was quite perfect after all.

At that time, the government reported the matter to the emperor. After discussing with the ministers, the emperor seemed to be able to make a lot of money trading with these 'ghosts', and gradually allowed them to start trading here.

Later, merchants took this as a center and traveled all over Eastern China with goods in short supply from the West.

The town's name 'Ratherwitt' is the name of the ship that ran aground at the beginning, in order to commemorate that lucky grounding, otherwise the east and the west don't know when they will start the real communication.

Similar to the earth, spices, gold and silver wares, and glass from the West are all in short supply, while silk, tea, and porcelain from the East are also sought after by the West.

The merchants who are fully loaded with goods will exchange the goods they brought with them for special products of Eastern China, and then transport them back. After a few trips, they will have nothing to worry about in this life.

However, this sea route is full of dangers, and it is not easy for those who can eat this bowl of food.

It was also because of the high danger that in the small town of Lathwitt, the three of them who had just entered the city could see many 'guards' with different styles.

Whether it is a tall barbarian carrying a giant sword longer than Lin Tianci, or a dwarf who is only as tall as him to his chest and covered in heavy armor, or a shorter halfling, these people are rare to see biological group.

After all, there are only human beings in Eastern China, and only people of the yellow race. There are no such weird-looking guys.

According to Golden Feather Falcon, these people are mercenaries guarding the caravan. They are called adventurers in the West, and they are a group of guys who specialize in accepting commissions to make a living.

They all carry weapons, even heavy armor, which is very sensitive. Eastern China is also very strict about the management of adventurers. There are clear indicators for how many guards each caravan brings. Not only are they not allowed to leave Ruthwaite, but If the guards make trouble in the business, the businessman will be fully responsible, and some serious cases will be arrested and beheaded.

Generally speaking, these people are quite honest. After all, the East is very mysterious to them, and there are monks with super high force values. All adventurers cherish their own lives. Guy, no one will collect the body when he died in a foreign country.

Encountering these strange races along the way really opened Lin Tianci's horizons. If it weren't for being impolite, Lin Tianci really wanted to catch someone and ask them about the customs of the West.

In addition to guys with Western style of painting, there are also many locals with oriental faces, and many of them can also speak a fairly proficient "foreign language" to talk to Western peddlers, and those Western peddlers can also say a few words, or This is probably the tone of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, right?

Ruthwaite is equivalent to the trade link between the East and the West. It is not large in scale, but it has everything it should have.

Especially inns and warehouses, I wish they could be all over the city.

The three of them walked along the road for a while, and saw an inn with a sign of 'Wine and Bread', or was it called a hotel or a tavern...?
Because from the appearance point of view, it is really different from ordinary inns, but the contents are actually similar.

There are guest rooms on the second and third floors, and round tables are placed in the lobby on the first floor, which is a place for eating and drinking.

The shopkeeper is a dwarf with a big beard, and he also has a loud voice, talking to anyone is like fighting.

It is also because he has a big beard, it is really hard to judge how big it is, Lin Tianci even thought maliciously that even female dwarves have beards, right?
The hostesses in the inn were not the waitresses of ordinary inns, but the wine girls with heavy make-up. Especially when he saw the other party with rabbit or cat ears on his head, Meng Wenyan almost took these races called half-orcs as monster……

These things can be studied slowly in the future, and the three of them opened the guest room smoothly.

The little fox Bai Zhi who followed secretly had been sleeping soundly, Golden Feather Falcon put her on the bed, and sat on a chair with his eyes closed to rest.

Meng Wenyan also seemed a little tired. His total mana could not be compared with Lin Tianci's. Long-distance traveling would consume a lot of mana, so he went back to his room to adjust his breath after chatting a few words.

But our brother Lin couldn't stay any longer after returning to the room for a few minutes, not because the room was not good enough, but because he really wanted to wander around.

So he said hello to Golden Feather Falcon, and he went downstairs.

As I said before, the lobby on the first floor is the place to eat and drink.That's right, Lin Tianci is going to start a routine project again.

The food served here is also different from other places in Eastern Shenzhou, and it is more western style.

Brother Lin ordered a steak, tomato soup, and white bread combo.

smell……

how to say?It’s not bad to say it’s unpalatable, but if it’s delicious, there’s something wrong with it.

It may be because he is not used to western food, but the drinks served in the store are very pleasing to Lin Tianci.

There are many types of alcoholic drinks, and the most sold are ale and wine.

Ale is somewhat similar to beer, but it doesn't have as much foam, and the taste is somewhat different. It should be the predecessor of beer.

The wine is pretty much the same as in the impression.

Fermenting wine is actually very simple, just crush the grapes and put them in the tank.

That being said, there is a lot of knowledge in the subtle aspects of craftsmanship.

Different varieties of grapes are harvested at different times, the temperature of fermentation and the container in which they are stored all directly affect the quality of wine.

Lin Tianci sat at the bar, like a seasoned sommelier, tasting all the wines in the store one by one.

This made the old dwarf, who was addicted to alcohol, very happy. He patted Brother Lin on the shoulder and said that you can drink quite well despite being skinny.

——Of course, the wine money will not be less.

It's also thanks to the fact that the currency here is the same as other places, and it's also a cash register, otherwise Brother Lin would really have nothing to do.

Regardless of ethnicity or even race, drinking together can always lead to a good conversation.

Lin Tianci also managed to get some western customs from the old dwarf, but there was almost no information about magicians and elves that Lin Tianci cared most about.

When it comes to these two parties, the old dwarf is full of disdain, especially the elves.

This made Lin Tianci discover that this very unscientific world also seems to have a setting where dwarves and elves are at odds.

After paying for the wine, Lin Tianci asked the old dwarf to bring a bucket of wine to his room, and then put it in a clean water gourd for storage.

Lin Tianci then left the tavern and wandered on the street.

Even though it was still early, this vibrant town got up early, and the streets were very lively. Merchants coming and going, hawkers setting up stalls, and soldiers patrolling the streets with a very Eastern Shenzhou style all came into view.

Lin Tianci didn't have any goals, he just came here to learn a lot, and he bought some local snacks in a relaxed way, and walked around while eating.

The street he walked into looked like a market. In fact, almost all of Ruthwitt was a market. No matter where he went, the style of painting was similar.

Lin Tianci walked around and saw that almost all the goods sold along the way were ordinary items. Although they were very exotic and exquisitely crafted, they were not very interesting.

It wasn't until Lin Tianci saw a small stall that had just been set up at the corner of the street that he didn't raise his eyes, that things turned around.

The banner of this small stall reads "Fanni Chamber of Commerce Franchise Store, Aina's Magic Tent" in crooked Chinese characters, and the owner has a pair of pointed ears that look like elves.
