Chapter 107: Visiting the Holy City

  After more than a dozen days of drifting at sea, our two countries' fleet, with nearly 70,000 people and horses, arrived together at the port of the Holy City of Light. To be honest, I was greatly surprised by the vast number of ships and the astonishing transportation capacity of the Kingdom of Kart! That's 70,000 people! Plus almost the same number of horses, all transported across the Mediterranean in one go. The Kingdom of Kart's maritime transport capability is truly too powerful, worthy of being the world's number one naval power. Even the three great empires bordering the Mediterranean cannot compare to its mighty sea power!

  I'm a cultivator, so I'm naturally not afraid of seasickness. Xianya is now a mage and doesn't think much of it either. Poorly, the soldiers under my command are all pure landlubbers, and they're getting seasick to the point of being pitiful. They just keep vomiting nonstop every day, and this luxurious large ship is filled with the pungent smell of stomach acid, making me lose my appetite as well. What's even more strange is that Ge Cai, this big bear from the land, doesn't get seasick at all, and he's actually very adapted to life on the sea! I'm afraid he might be the only one on the entire ship who can still keep a good appetite!

  At last, on a bright and sunny morning, they arrived at the port, where they were met by a cardinal in red robes, also known as Robert Jo. He was to be responsible for receiving the three kings from the great kingdoms of the East: Khan, Carter and Vana.

  After a few hypocritical performances by several old foxes, I finally found out that this Robert Joe was once the vice president of Sheng Guang High Magic Martial Academy. At that time, he knew our King and Carter King when he was the vice president, and they got along well. Of course, I know their secrets. Can a vice president be particularly concerned about several students without any purpose? He can hold the position of Cardinal Archbishop, who dares to say that it has nothing to do with these few students who became kings?

  After they expressed their joy at the reunion, they arranged for us to stay in a specially prepared hotel. The large army was stationed in military camps outside the city. The dignitaries of each country could only bring less than 200 guards into the city!

  I'm fed up with these hypocrites! I've brought Xian Ya and Gai Ji, that's all. The guards are all vomiting, I didn't have the heart to bring them along.

  Walking on the main street of Shengdu, I finally understand why it is called the first city on the mainland. The streets are all paved with neat white stone slabs, which are even more beautiful than modern asphalt roads. The buildings on both sides are at least two-story houses, and the houses are all made of white stones. There are various carvings of gods in the pillars, eaves, and other parts of the houses, which are both beautiful and practical!

  Although the city has adopted a large amount of white stone as building materials, it doesn't mean that this place is an ocean of white. On the contrary, the main color tone here is green-based. This is mainly because of the towering trees planted on both sides of the streets, and also because white is most reflective, so what meets the eye is a lush green! It's winter now, but the temperature here is still very high, pedestrians on the main street are all wearing single-layer clothing, and women are all wearing long skirts.

  The poor Taoist walked his horse and admired the flowers for a while, then took Xian Ya to find an inn, ready to have a big meal. The dishes here are mainly seafood, with fruits and vegetables as supplements. The craftsmanship of the chef is also good, we ate very comfortably, and when we asked for the bill, it cost us two gold coins! Faint! Enough for me to eat in a restaurant in the Great Han for several meals! Fortunately, the old man is also a rich man now! He casually took out his card to pay the bill! Hehe! The poor Taoist wants to see how they will deal with it. This magic crystal card is not something that ordinary people can have!

  Unexpectedly, the other party didn't say a word and also took out a card. Although it's not as high-end as mine, it still surprised me. I have a new estimate of the prosperity level of Sheng Du!

  Then, we naturally started shopping. Here, no stalls are allowed to be set up, so although there were many people on the street, it was not crowded! Under the guidance of passersby, we came to the largest magic shop in Shengdu. This store, named after the Holy Light, covers a vast area and has five floors from top to bottom.

  As soon as they entered, it was crowded with people everywhere! Most of them were young students, each wearing bright magic robes or warrior attire, looking arrogant! However, I knew that the goods sold on the first floor were ordinary, and they were absolutely not wealthy masters. Too lazy to bother with them! I took Xianya straight up to the fifth floor!

  Here, the number of guests on each floor is decreasing step by step. By the time you reach the top floor, there are only two or three little cats left.

  Upon seeing the arrival of the noble guest, a dignified servant hastily came over to attend to them. Upon seeing that they were two children, he was slightly disappointed, but then thought that there must be an adult accompanying them, so he smiled and asked: "Young masters and miss, where are your adults?"

  "Adults? They haven't come!" The poor Dao said impatiently.

  "Ah!" The waiter was startled and said, "The things here are worth tens of millions, this is not a place for you kids to come, you'd better go back quickly! Otherwise, the adults will be worried!"

  "Huh?" The dog-eyed, low-looked guy hummed in annoyance: "It's just a few tens of millions, what's the big deal? If they're all this kind of stuff, I wouldn't even bother to look at it!"

  "Haha!" The waiter didn't expect me to say something so arrogant! He laughed and said, "Whose child are you? You're not big, but your tone is!"

  "What's it to you?" The poor Taoist angrily said: "My time is limited, I don't have the leisure to waste with you, quickly bring your best things and let me see if they're worth looking at."

  "Little friend, you must have seen that our goods are good, just afraid you don't have the money to buy. You'd better hurry back, or else you'll get your family in trouble!" he advised.

  "You're so garrulous!" The poor Taoist shouted angrily.

  I suddenly startled everyone in the hall, and they all turned to look at me!

  "What's going on?" a man who looked like he was in charge came over and asked.

  However, I feel like this guy looks familiar! Indeed, when he saw me, he was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Is it Lord Long?"

  "Not bad! I am you, who are you?" The poor Taoist still hasn't thought of it!

  "Haha! You're a noble with a lot of forgetfulness, aren't you? I am Sayachila. I once led a merchant caravan from the Holy Light Chamber of Commerce to your territory, and I even paid a special visit to you!" He said politely.

  "Ah! I remember now, we did a big business back then!" The leader of the merchant association who was received in my territory is not less than hundreds, who would have known he was him?

  "Not bad! I didn't expect you to come here!"

  "Yes! This time I was summoned by the king, and I didn't know about it beforehand either!" The poor Taoist sighed: "Right, how did you end up in charge here?"

  "I'm the one in charge here, only using myself when there's a big deal!" He said proudly, then instructed the servant: "This is the youngest lord of the Great Han State and also our very important partner. From now on, he is our super VIP. Do you understand?"

  "I understand!" The waiter was so frightened that he was sweating all over his face.

  "Prepare the best tea in the quiet room!" Said Seiya Chi La, and then politely said to me, "Please come this way, our best things are traded in the clean room!"

  "Alright!" The poor Taoist laughed and said!

  Just as we were leaving, those three selected guys stared at us with jealous eyes. One of them said: "Damn it! We came and Seiya Chiya just greeted us briefly and handed us over to the deputy to entertain, what is that kid? Why did Seiya Chiya entertain him personally?"

  "What's even more detestable is that he was brought into the quiet room, a place where even Liti hasn't been!" another one said.

  "Right, Litiang went to Saiyachira to ask for a few pieces of Radiant series magic accessories in preparation for the Holy Maiden selection, but Saiyachira actually said she didn't have any! I wonder if that girl from earlier might also be here to select the Holy Maiden, do you think Saiyachira would sell her good stuff?" one guy said.

  "I'm sure it will work out, let's just rush in and force our way through! We'll dedicate it to Litiangai! She'll definitely be thrilled!" said a brainless guy.

  "Idiot!" The other two cursed together: "Our identities, we can't even get to the quiet room without being shot! Let's go find Liti and ask her to bring more people!"

  After a brief discussion, two of them left and one stayed here to keep an eye on us!

  The poor Taoist knew nothing about this, pulled Xianya and followed Saiyajie to a quiet room. The decoration here was luxurious but not lacking in elegance, obviously arranged by an expert! After sitting down, the waiter presented fragrant tea.

  Xia Qi La opened his mouth and said: "This time, Lord Da Jia has arrived, our humble shop is honored!"

  "Haha! Let's skip the pleasantries, I hate this kind of talk. Let's just be straightforward!" The poor Daoist said with a smile.

  "Haha!" Seya Chirala also burst out laughing and said: "Alright, satisfying! What do you want? We should be able to satisfy you!"

  Saiyajila was actually nervous, he had seen the poor Daoist's house before, and he had almost picked out all the good things in my warehouse. After he left, we cooperated happily, the things I gave him were not only of high quality but also at a price that made him satisfied. So this time when the poor Daoist came to his territory, it was reasonable to make the poor Daoist satisfied! Otherwise, it would not only ruin his reputation but also offend a big customer. But, what caught my eye... Saiyajila was really in a difficult situation!

  "There's no restriction, just bring out the good stuff!" The poor Taoist said casually: "As the largest Chamber of Commerce on the mainland, you should at least bring out a few things that can satisfy me."

  "Of course!" Seiya exclaimed hastily. Then he hesitated for a moment, and said to the attendant beside him, "Bring me the things in safe deposit box No. 1076!"

  "Ah! It's 1076!" The waiter exclaimed in surprise.

  "Yes! Go quickly!" Seiya urged.

  Before long, the waiter returned with a beautifully crafted small box! The box had seals and magical traps on it.

  Xia Qi La removed the seal and traps, opened the box, and said to me: "Please!"

  I took a look at it and found that inside was an irregular piece of golden metal, shining with a strange light. Although it was only the size of a walnut, it shocked me greatly!
