Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 503 22 The caravan enters the city

The "Hash Caravan" stepped on the afterglow of the sunset, and after two days of fast and sleepless trek, they finally entered the ancient desert city of Memphis.

Despite the hard work, no one complained along the way.

They used careless and bright methods to obtain so many red goods in the desert. Although the yellow sand will cover their footprints, if they encounter a large caravan from other countries in the river bed, there will only be 50 people in the caravan. You will still be in great danger.

Therefore, they have to be fast.

Walking through the riverbed through heavy yellow sand, the closer you get to the city, the thinner the sand becomes. Although everyone looked gray and a little tired, when the two huge gates of Memphis appeared in front of them, they still held their torches high and burst into cheers.

Being able to transport more than a hundred carts of goods to the city, the Hash Caravan's gamble has already been half won.

**

The ultimate destination of most large-scale chambers of commerce is the city of Memphis.

After entering the city, the porters will carry their goods to the exclusive warehouse of the Chamber of Commerce, and then the storekeepers will trade with the desert free people.

No large chamber of commerce would choose to continue deep into the Black Desert.

Although you can get better red goods by going deep into the desert and into the villages of free people, the high casualty rate in the process of crossing the black desert has discouraged large chambers of commerce.

It is common to lose both people and goods.

All those who dare to enter the Black Desert are poor people with no way out like the "Hash Caravan".

Compared with large chambers of commerce, the size of the Hash Caravan is so small that it can be ignored. Carrying such a large amount of goods into the city this time, he will definitely attract the attention of all the merchants in the city.

Old Hash, who is very experienced on the road, knows that "hiding" cannot be avoided in this situation. Pretending to be pretentious will easily expose one's true intentions. Rather than doing this, it is better to walk in with a golden sword.

He directed the cavalry to march through the broad streets of Memphis with their heads held high.

"Royal Academy of Constantinople?"

"Oh my god, in this era, have the bachelors of the Academy of Sciences also started to do business? Aren't they supposed to do it every day?"

Before the apprentice had finished speaking, the master beside him immediately stretched out his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan and slapped him hard on the back of the head.

"Tsk, tsk, too much nonsense!"

"Look at their truckloads of goods! In the past decade or so, there have been rumors that the bachelors of the Royal Academy of Sciences have begun to imitate the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty and win over scholars from all over the world."

"Although bachelors are powerless, their status has been rising year after year. It doesn't cost money to feed so many people!"

“Continuously doing research and making money along the way, this is what a wise man does!”

Although the city of Memphis in the desert is isolated, the numerous trade transactions make the place well-informed.

The master standing at the door of the shop was patiently conducting popular science for his apprentices. Old Harsh who was passing by almost didn't laugh out loud.

Hanging up the "Hash Caravan" writing on the side of the carriage and painting the "Royal Academy of Sciences" Nite Owl logo was an idea he came up with at the last second before entering the city.

It's still the same old saying - it's good to enjoy the shade under the big trees.

The city of Memphis on the edge of the desert is by no means a livable city with "simple folk customs and good public security". With just the 50 people under his command, it would be difficult to protect more than a hundred cars of red goods.

The brave free people, the small caravans who lost their goods along the way, and even the Ramses Principality patrols stationed in the city could cause trouble for them on a dark and windy night.

If it is discovered that the Hash Caravan "picked up" more than a hundred carts of goods from the desert due to good luck, there are many thieves in this lawless city who will steal their goods without anyone noticing.

Therefore, he must find a way to put gold on his face.

At this time, waiting for him in the city, the bachelors of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Constantinople are the best backers.

"Why does this cavalry look so strange?"

"Yes! How could the arrogant Byzantine scholars find a group of Arab merchants as porters? I once passed by the Royal Academy of Sciences and saw many East China scholars walking in the university with chains hanging from their necks!

"The Roman bachelors have such a good relationship with the Tang people. Even if they want to find one, they will definitely hire Tang sword cultivators."

“Also, where did these bearded men buy the Tang Dynasty Column Cart?!

This kind of chariot is also equipped with seats for a piece of shit like Old Hash? "

Most merchants who can travel across the desert to the city of Memphis have basic eyesight. As more and more merchants walked out of the hotel onto the street, pointing and pointing, Ma Feng and the porters behind him involuntarily began to speed up the pace of their horses.

Indeed, as fellow traders said, if you look closely, there are simply too many flaws in this team.

"Go slowly, why are you in a hurry!" Harsh gritted his teeth and whispered to the subordinates around him.

"The calmer we are, the less these guys can see our flaws, and the more they panic, the more likely they will become suspicious!"

Harsh knew in his heart that their flaws would not last forever.

As long as they enter the "Sand Lake Hotel" in the city and meet the Byzantine scholars, as long as the two parties can get together, they will be safe temporarily.

Don't forget, at this time, two large chambers of commerce, "Crescent Trading Company" and "Hengcheng Hao", are also waiting for the arrival of the caravan. They might not become suspicious within three to five days, but as time goes by, they will definitely become suspicious of Harsh.

By that time, Harsh had a dozen more blond Romans in his ranks, and he needed Shadow to hide under their wings to escape this disaster.

Harsh is not afraid of the other two chambers of commerce. His real fear comes from the Eastern Continent women who are waiting for the Crescent Chamber of Commerce to join forces. Living in a foreign country, this woman dared to unite with Tang's mortal enemies and swallow the goods of her country's chamber of commerce.

Such people must be ruthless and unprincipled villains.

Harsh has a premonition

The goods may not be what she wants.

The real target of this Eastern Continent woman is most likely the Eastern Continent girl who is tightly bound with iron chains.

At this time, she was in the RV, sitting opposite Loki.

The reason why only Loki is left here to talk to this mysterious girl is because among the 50 people in the team, Loki is the only one who can skillfully communicate with the girl in "Chinese", which is commonly spoken by the Tang people. .

However, what the bearded Arabs outside the car didn't know at this time was that Rocky and the girl from Eastern China in front of him had been looking at each other for more than half an hour.

Finally, he broke the silence and asked for the sixteenth time about the rice paper in front of him.

"Little sister, do you know this word?"
