Magus Tech Chapter 450: Clover Harbor
November, cold moon.
Clover Harbor.
Alfalfa Port is a medium-sized port on the east coast, about the same size as The Hague Port. It is named for its rich alfalfa.
At this time, the port of Alfalfa Port is very lively, with many ships berthing, and densely packed sailors and coolies carrying goods, it looks busier than some large ports.
On the sea not far from the busy port, a small sailboat sailed, and it was Richard who was manipulating the sail. As for Pandora, she was imprisoned in the Garden of Eden. Because she did something wrong, she was studying and working honestly.
"Hoo hoo——"
The sea breeze was blowing, and the waves kept crashing. Li Cha pulled the sail and controlled the boat, approaching Alfalfa Harbor, his eyes flickering.
It has been almost a month since he left The Hague Port and landed on Undead Island. After nearly a month, he made a big circle and returned to the east coast. The voyage did not go far north at all, and it was a failure.
Having said that, even so, he has no regrets. Obtaining the second treasure of the Black Spirit King has benefited him a lot, and he also knows more information about the ultimate secret of the Black Spirit King, which is of great help for him to go to Moore.
Thinking this way, Li Cha entered the port, controlled the ship to pass through the gaps of many large ships, docked at a corner, and landed.
When he got to the shore, Li Cha frowned slightly and looked at the many ships in the port, not understanding why all the ships suddenly gathered here. But without thinking too much, he stepped out of the port, found a good-looking tavern called "Fire Shochu" on the street, and walked in.
The reason why he was looking for a tavern was very simple - just like in The Hague, he was going to inquire from the tavern owner if there was any news about the ship heading north. After all, taverns are equivalent to a certain kind of information platform in this era, and no one knows all kinds of news better than the tavern owner.
"Da da da..."
Li Cha walked into the "Huo Shaojiu" tavern, and with a glance, he saw that even in sunny days, the tavern was almost full of people, and the business was really good. Slightly surprised, he turned his head and looked aside, his eyes fell on a person behind the oak bar.
The opponent's body was thin, and his height was almost a head taller than normal people. It gave people the impression that a skeleton was covered with a piece of human skin and a set of human clothes. However, the other party's expression was very enthusiastic, while greeting people, they kept passing words to the back kitchen.
"Hello, there are tables inside, you can sit whatever you want. What would you like to order, uh, a steak, a piece of bread, ok, wait a moment."
"Nopes, a steak, the portion must be sufficient, a piece of bread, freshly baked!"
"Okay!"
"Hello, what do you want to come? Meatball soup, bread, and boiled beans? Okay, find a place to sit first, and send your things over there immediately."
"Nopes, one serving of meatball soup, one serving of bread, one serving of boiled beans, hurry up, the guests are waiting."
"Got it."
“…”
Li Cha stepped closer, and the tall and thin tavern owner behind the bar looked at him and asked with a smile: "Guest, what do you want? As long as there is something here, it will satisfy you."
"A glass of clear water." Li Cha said, and took out a silver coin.
"A glass of water?" The tavern owner was obviously taken aback when he heard this, but quickly took a glass from the pitcher next to him and brought it to Li Cha. He glanced at the silver coins on the table and did not take them, "Guest, Do you really just want a glass of water? If that’s the case, then treat it as a gift from me, and you won’t be charged.”
After hearing this, Li Cha had a good impression of the tall and thin tavern owner in front of him. No matter what, he was at least much better than the greedy and fat owner of the tavern in The Hague.
But Li Cha didn't take back the silver coins, he took the clear water handed over by the tavern owner, put it on the bar, and said, "Don't worry, I have one more request besides clear water."
"Require? Well, please tell."
"I want to know some news."
"What news?"
"Clover Port, are there any ships going north recently?" Richard asked.
"Ah, this—" The owner of the tavern was obviously taken aback when he heard this, and after looking at Li Cha for a while, he said, "If you want to inquire about this news...Silver coins, you are still serious. Keep it."
While talking, the tavern owner pushed the silver coin to Li Cha's hand.
"What?" Li Cha raised his eyebrows, "Not enough money?"
"No, no, no." The tavern owner quickly shook his head, "It's the news that's worthless at all."
"How?"
"Guest, are you new to Clover Harbor?" The tavern owner looked at Richard and asked with some certainty.
"Not bad." Li Cha replied, there is nothing to hide.
"Then the guest, you probably don't know the situation at sea recently?" the tavern owner asked again.
"I don't know." Li Cha replied, there is no need to pretend to understand.
After listening to Li Cha's words, the tavern owner took a deep breath, and said honestly, "Then let me tell you, there is not a single ship going north now. Have you seen the ships at the port? They were all intercepted by the sea ahead and had to dock here. Wait a few more days, I’m afraid the entire port won’t be able to hold them.”
"Why?" Li Cha was puzzled, but he only said a few words~IndoMTL.com~Suddenly thought of a piece of information he had heard before, and asked, "Could it be related to the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom?"
"Yes." The tavern owner nodded and gave a confirmed answer, "The Black Holy Mountain Kingdom and the Rob Kingdom have been fighting for almost half a month. Now the entire sea is blocked by the Rob Kingdom's fleet. No ship can pass, if you find it, you will be sunk!"
After hearing this, Li Cha blinked his eyes and asked aloud: "So, in the current war between the two countries, it is the Kingdom of Rob that has the upper hand, while... the Kingdom of Black Sacred Mountain suffers?"
As far as he knew, the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom was the country of the rich princess Ruth, whom he had contact with several times in the White Rock Tower Academy. The Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom itself is a country of wizards. Although there may not be many wizards and their strength is not strong, the whole country is extremely rich.
It is precisely because she is so rich that she can lend money to other countries at will that Princess Ruth has many fiancés. And such an extremely rich kingdom will lose to another country whose name has never been heard?
Seeing Li Cha's appearance, the tavern owner said: "You are surprised. In fact, many people are surprised. But then again, the reality is like this. Who made the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom really...well, not disappointing What about..."
Next, from the mouth of the tavern owner, Richard quickly learned about the war between the Kingdom of Black Holy Mountain and the Kingdom of Rob, and understood how disappointing the Kingdom of Black Holy Mountain was.
