Chapter 389 - Tianshui city (1)

Zhao Hai looked at the docks and turned to stark. &Quot; “Brother stark, why is there a dock here? Is the dock here also managed by the celestial water city?”

Stark nodded and said, ” yes, although Tianshui city is a natural port, there are too many ships, sea ships, river ships, and they are full every day. Many ships can’t unload their cargo, so in the end, these small docks were built at the place where docks could be built. Although this place is far away from Tianshui city, after unloading the goods, they can enter Tianshui city by land. This is better than waiting there. &Quot;

“Yes, it’s a little far. Can we reach Tianshui city tonight?” Zhao Hai nodded.

Stark shook his head and said, ” we won’t be able to reach it tonight. We’ll find a dock ahead and rest for the night. We’ll be able to reach Tianshui city tomorrow. The Sheila family has a special dock in Tianshui city. We can Park the ship there so that we don’t have to fight for space with other ships. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded. At the same time, he gained a new understanding of the power of the Sheila family in Tianshui city. According to his understanding of the past few days, every inch of land in Tianshui city was worth its weight in gold. To have their own Pier there, it seemed that the Sheila family had a great influence in Tianshui city.

At night, stark stopped the ship at a place called mercenary Pier. It was a Pier with a lot of mercenaries. You could see mercenaries everywhere here. Some of them were guards for cargo ships, and some were actually coolies.

Mercenaries as coolies? This might sound ridiculous, but it was not. Who were these mercenaries? Many of these mercenaries were ordinary civilians who had lost their land for various reasons. In order to live, in order not to become slaves, they could only become mercenaries.

Because their combat power was very weak, and many people had a large family to support, they didn’t dare to take on missions that were too dangerous. They could only take on some errands and deliver letters. These missions were not dangerous, but at the same time, their rewards were very low. They could only make a living by avoiding the strong.

Even so, this kind of mission wasn’t available every day. What could he do if he couldn’t get such a mission? They could only do some hard work, so sometimes, it was really difficult to distinguish between mercenaries and hard work.

As such a Wharf was in the periphery of Tianshui city, the kalci clan didn’t have a strong management on it. Additionally, these mercenaries came from all walks of life. Therefore, such wharves were always chaotic, very chaotic, very chaotic.

Therefore, when the ship was about to stop at the dock, stark told Zhao Hai that it was best not to go out. Although Zhao Hai was very strong, he couldn’t afford to offend him.

Zhao Hai didn’t want to go to the dock. There was nothing to see on such a small dock. Besides, the mercenaries were all rough. If they saw the beauties, they might say something. Zhao Hai didn’t want that to happen.

They didn’t have to worry about the mercenaries on the ship. To the mercenaries, the people on the ship were their parents. Ordinary people wouldn’t come on the ship to cause trouble.

After a night’s rest on the ship, Zhao Hai and the others set off in the direction of Tianshui city the next morning. After another two hours of sailing, they could already faintly see the city walls of Tianshui city.

The closer they got to the celestial water city, the more surprised Zhao Hai became. He had never thought that the celestial water city would be so big, even bigger than the rule River City. The rule River City was a large city with a population of over one million, and the celestial water city was at least three times bigger than the rule River City. In other words, the population of the celestial water city might have exceeded three million!

It was shocking that there was such a big city in a place like the ark continent. It was even more shocking that the carci family could control such a big city, and even the king of the Roson Empire could not interfere. Now, Zhao Hai had a very direct understanding of the power of the carci family.

Zhao Hai didn’t believe that the Church of Light didn’t know about the black magician in the carci family. The Church of Light knew, but they couldn’t do anything to the carci family. This was the strength of the carci family. No wonder the carci family could organize the black magician Alliance. They did have the strength.

Soon, shunjiang-Hao slowly drove into a small Wharf beside Tianshui city. This Wharf was not large. At most, 5 – 6 ships like shunjiang-Hao could hold it. It was definitely a small Wharf. However, its power told Zhao Hai that although it was built by Sheila’s clan, they had to pay almost 1 million gold coins for the use of land each year. Otherwise, the kalci clan would take back this Wharf.

Such a big Wharf could collect one million gold coins a year. It could be seen how big Tianshui city was as a treasure bowl. However, the kalci family could control Tianshui city all the time, which required a great power.
