Chapter-171: Tricky Garland city
"There is a customs market outside Garland City, which is open regularly and conducts trade with various countries. It is said to be very lively." Wendy Lark's eyes lit up. This was good. "Where is Garland City?"
Guard Simon casually drew a triangular location, "The most remote city in our country, under the jurisdiction of Southern Border soldiers, bordering the Kingdom of Capsus, is more than ten days away from here."
Garland City, Varna and their location form a triangle, with Garland City being the tip. It takes more than ten days to travel from here to Varna and Garland. Wendy Lark seemed to be thinking about something. Guard Simon took the initiative to say
"Miss Wendy, you have to go there in person this time. I have no experience at all." Wendy Lark hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this, Lord Jeff, you take the team to Varna, but don't enter the city yet.
Find a village to stay for a few days and wait for me to rush over and meet you."
"Okay." Lord Jeff had no objection. He trusted Wendy Lark's ability and character. If she really wanted to play tricks, he couldn't beat her. In Garland City name with large characters were written in a flamboyant style are hung high on the city wall and can be seen from afar.
Wendy Lark lifted the curtain and looked at the tall and majestic city wall, her brows slightly curved, eager to try. She is here! At the city gate, there were two long queues, one for the caravan entering the city, and the other for ordinary people.
There is a fee to enter the city, two cents per person for ordinary people, but the price for caravans is random, depending on the mood of the guards. Finally it was Wendy Lark and his group's turn.
The guard stopped them and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Take out your pass." Guard Simon was prepared. He took out a pass and handed it over. "I am from the Gomez family's caravan. I am here to do business."
The guard's eyes fell on the long line and boxes, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. "What did you bring?"
"Just tea and cloth..." Guard Simon acted very low key. These are all good stuff. The guard waved his hand and said, "Open the box and check." The man behaved particularly rudely during the inspection and the goods were rummaged through.
Guard Simon frowned slightly but did not get angry. Instead, he handed over a piece of silver. The guard weighed the silver and looked unhappy.
Is this too little? Guard Simon cursed in his heart, calling him a guard dog, but he hadn't entered the city yet and didn't want to fall out with the guards. This is someone else's territory.
You cannot cause trouble unless it is absolutely necessary. They are seeking wealth! He stuffed two more pieces of silver into the guard's pocket and he said, "Be gentle."
The other guards became much more restrained. Wendy Lark saw it all and started to think about it. The curtain was lifted and Wendy Lark immediately opened her eyes wide, looking timid and frightened.
The guard looked at Wendy Lark for a few times. He had red lips, white teeth, delicate eyebrows and eyes. He was wearing a plain brocade suit, looking like an ordinary wealthy young master. "Who is this?"
Guard Simon smiled and said, "My brother, I brought him out to see the world. It's better to learn how to do business early."
"Hello, sir." Wendy Lark greeted in a low voice, very shy. The guard had seen all kinds of people, so he didn't attract his attention. He just took out a sign and handed it to Guard Simon.
"This is a sign for merchants. You can only enter the market with this. Also, your team will stay at Caring Inn." It was the first time Guard Simon heard that the gatekeeper would solicit customers.
This was strange. "There is only one inn in the city?" The guard glared at him unhappily and said, "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you still want to go into the city?"
"Come in, come in." Guard Simon made up his mind to go in first. The guard called one of his men and said, "Brother Levi, take them to Caring Inn." Brother Levi agreed happily, as if there was some great news.
Guard Simon was a little panicked, "Young... Master why do I feel like something is wrong?" Wendy Lark also felt that it was a bit strange, "Go and talk to that Brother Levi and find out what's going on."
"Okay." Guard Simon immediately walked to Brother Levi and skillfully asked questions. Brother Levi was a straightforward person and inadvertently told him everything he knew. After a while, Guard Simon came back with a complicated look on his face.
"It is said that Caring Inn is owned by the Jordan family, and the head of the Jordan family is the commander of Garland Guard. If it is true, the Jordan family's hand is a bit too long, but is it possible?"
The Smith family Commander was headed by the Smith family, which had jurisdiction over sixteen guard commanders and below them were the big soldier group commanders and minor soldier group commanders.
For example, the Command Headquarters is the group commander, and the commanders of each guard are the army commanders. Generally speaking, every family has its own business, but he feels it is unrealistic to misuse public resources for personal gain.
Tom Lark's brother, who was in the crowd, came over and said, "Sister, how about we not live here and find a place of our own?" This time, Wendy Lark brought her two brothers with her. Tom Lark has matured a lot after these days of experience.
