Chapter 2041: The price gap between the inner and outer areas of the Mermaid Capital

At about nine o'clock in the morning on December 19, 1184, Xingyu, the inner city of the Mermaid Continent's royal capital was under martial law; and the reason why the Mermaids were under martial law was because today was the official alliance ceremony between the Mermaid Tribe and the Naga Tribe, so the Mermaid King naturally did not If any unpleasantness occurs, we will immediately impose martial law.

The martial law in the inner city also prevented Yan Tielong from purchasing the supplies he needed, so he ran out of the inner city to the outer city to see if there were any resources he wanted. After all, there was not much time left for Yan Tielong to collect supplies.

Regarding Yan Tielong's failure to participate in the mermaid and Naga alliance ceremony in the Mermaid Palace, that is because he is not qualified. After all, he belongs to the Naga diplomatic mission employed and protected by Naga, not Naga, so he is not qualified to enter the Mermaid Palace. Once Yan Tielong is allowed to enter the Mermaid Palace, it will be a slap in the face of the Mermaid Palace guards, which will cause conflicts.

Of course, when Yan Tielong came to the outer city of the Mermaid Capital, he was also monitored and protected by two mermaid guards. As long as Yan Tielong did not do anything that triggered the law, Yan Tielong's safety factor could be comparable to that of a mermaid prince. After all, as the saying goes, diplomacy is no small matter.

Yan Tielong and the two mermaid guards came to Rainbow Street. The reason why this place is called Rainbow Street is because the sea lanes in this area are famous for the large number of corals of various colors.

Yan Tielong, a human being, also attracted the attention of a large number of mermaids, but they also saw that the two mermaid guards around Yan Tielong were not dressed in simple clothes, so no mermaids bothered Yan Tielong.

While Yan Tielong was looking for the products he needed, he was also observing the living habits of the mermaids here. Soon Yan Tielong discovered that the mermaids here had a kind of vitality that the mermaids in the inner city did not have. If Yan Tielong had to choose, he would prefer the mermaids here. Breath of life mermaid.

Soon Yan Tielong found the product he needed, and the price quoted here was actually less than one-tenth of the price in the inner city. This made him wonder why there was such a big gap between the prices in the inner city and the outer city.

After Yan Tielong purchased a large amount of goods from the vendor in front of him, he gained a lot of favor from the vendor. After all, Yan Tielong was treated as a piglet by the vendor for his generous spending.

When Yan Tielong asked about the huge price gap between the inner city and the outer city, the mermaid merchant secretly told Yan Tielong that they, the parade merchants, could not enter the inner city, and the inner city was monopolized by the mermaid nobles. In addition, the residents of the inner city believed that going outside The prices of goods purchased in the city were very low, so those idiot inner city residents accepted the prices of goods in the inner city.

After listening to the mermaid vendor in front of him, Yan Tielong felt like a stupid donkey.

Yan Tielong soon put aside the bad thoughts in his heart, and then he directly asked the mermaid merchant in front of him if he had the products he was looking for.

When Yan Tielong asked about the products, the mermaid vendor was very generous. Not only did he accept where the products were sold, he even introduced the approximate prices of the products.

With the introduction from the mermaid vendor just now, Yan Tielong quickly bought a large amount of goods on Rainbow Street in the Royal Capital, but it was already noon, so they found a restaurant to have a meal.

However, Yan Tielong still forgot one thing, that is, the mermaid tribe is the same as the Naga tribe. The fresher the seafood and sashimi their food is, the better. This also led to Yan Tielong having to follow the local customs and order a few sashimi.

Looking at the sashimi in front of him, Yan Tielong couldn't help but frown. After all, he really didn't like eating so-called sashimi.

Yan Tielong still tasted the red leaf octopus sashimi, the signature dish of the restaurant in front of him. It is said that the taste of this sashimi can make mermaids feel happy.

After taking a bite, Yan Tielong clearly felt that the red-leaf octopus had a unique taste, but he didn't want to take a second bite, so he gave the red-leaf octopus to the two guards who came with him.

The two guards were very happy that Yan Tielong had tasted the red-leaf octopus. After all, the red-leaf octopus was expensive because of its good taste.

After barely having lunch, Yan Tielong continued shopping. However, Yan Tielong didn't know that he was being targeted by several gangs of mermaid gangsters. After all, Yan Tielong was too rich on Rainbow Street.

Of course, those mermaid gangsters were also worried about the two guards around Yan Tielong, so they did not attack Yan Tielong in the morning, but now it is different. After all, the boss of those mermaid gangsters had already figured it out. They robbed the human and then pushed a seriously ill person. If the guy takes the blame, then they still make a lot of money. Of course, this is the official crackdown on Mermaid. If it were not big, then he would have gone into hiding and nothing would have happened.

At this time, Yan Tielong still had confidence in the security of Mermaid. After all, he bought a large amount of goods on Rainbow Street and paid attention to the surroundings. He did not notice any crime, so he was very confident in the security of Mermaid; of course, the two monitors He is with the two guards who protect him. After all, he also has the status of a Naga diplomatic mission escort. Once he has an accident in the mermaid capital legally, it will be a big blow to the reputation of the mermaid clan.

He learned through the mermaid vendor that the supplies he needed were on Pearl Street, so Yan Tielong took two guards to Pearl Street. However, when Yan Tielong saw Pearl Street, he was a little surprised, because the scene in front of him looked like a slum.

Even the two mermaid guards who were monitoring and protecting Yan Tielong had expressions of disbelief when they saw the scene in front of them, because they also believed that it was impossible for the Mermaid King to have a slum.

Seeing the arrival of Yan Tielong and the two guards, the mermaids on Pearl Street were very indifferent, and they even acted to protect their wealth.

After Yan Tielong came to his senses, he suspected that the mermaid vendor had deceived him, but he still came to a store called Tianhai Treasures. This store was somewhat incompatible with the surrounding buildings. After all, the surrounding buildings felt dilapidated, and Tianhai Treasures The store is magnificent.

Entering the store, Yan Tielong saw four strongman-shaped mermaid bodyguards staring at him. However, when the four strongman mermaid bodyguards noticed that Yan Tielong also had two mermaid guards from the inner city, their eyes were no longer focused on Yan Tielong.

When the owner of Tianhai Treasures saw Yan Tielong's arrival, he was not surprised at all, and even had a little expectation. After all, any mermaid with a little influence on Yan Tielong's shopping in the inner city these days knew that the Mermaid King was here now. A human who can spend money arrives.

Yan Tielong did not live up to the expectations of the boss of Tianhai Treasures. Yan Tielong took out a list, and the list was full of valuable goods, so he immediately checked whether the inventory was sufficient.

Unfortunately, after the owner of Tianhai Treasure Store checked the goods, he found that three items had been sold in the store and needed to mobilize goods from other areas, so he could only tell Yan Tielong that he would have to wait a few days for the goods to be transferred.

Yan Tielong was anxious about waiting for a few days, but he had no choice. After all, the goods he needed could be found elsewhere, but it might take longer than waiting for the goods, so he could only place an order with the other party.

Just when Yan Tielong had just signed a contract with the owner of Tianhai Treasure Store and paid a deposit for a car, a mermaid hurriedly ran in from outside and told the owner that they were coming.

When the owner of Tianhai Treasure Shop heard the reminder from the mermaid who just ran in, his expression changed and he asked Yan Tielong and the others to go to the inner room to take a rest.

Yan Tielong and the others were still ignorant, but they still followed each other's arrangements. After all, Yan Tielong came to buy things, not to cause trouble.

Not long after Yan Tielong entered the inner room, a group of mermaids broke in, and naturally the two sides began to confront each other.

The owner of Tianhai Treasures Store was very calm when faced with the mermaid gangsters who broke in. He asked the leading gangster in a bad tone, were they trying to break the contract reached by their superiors?

When the leading mermaid gangster faced the store owner's question, he denied it without thinking. After all, as long as he dared to say yes, then today next year would be his memorial day. Then he said that he was looking for goods.

When he heard that the leading gangster was looking for goods, the owner of Tianhai Treasure Store misunderstood that he was here to catch the human being. After all, humans are indeed rare commodities for the current mermaid tribe, so he couldn't help but remind the other party that he didn't have to worry about finding that human being. If someone in a superior position notices it, even the big boss behind the other party will be unable to protect themselves.

When the leading mermaid gangster heard the boss's story, he knew that the other party had misunderstood. At the same time, he was warned by the boss behind the scenes that humans and Nagas in the mermaid tribe must not be provoked, so he told the other party that they were looking for a A mermaid girl from the countryside.

When he heard that he was not causing trouble for humans, the owner of Tianhai Treasure Store ignored him and let him search. After all, he didn't hide what he said about the mermaid from the countryside.

Seeing that the owner of the Tianhai Treasure Store told his subordinates not to stop them from searching, the mermaid gangster who led the team did not search, but led the team away directly. After all, he knew that the boss actually said that he did not take in the country mermaids, so he definitely did not take them in. The most important thing is that he was behind the scenes. The boss had warned that it would not affect him if he could still open a shop if his territory was targeted by the higher-ups. The level of the other party behind the scenes was not weaker than that of the person behind him.

After the leading mermaid gangsters left, Yan Tielong came out of the secret room. He couldn't help but curiously asked the store owner, what were the identities of those gangsters?

Maybe Yan Tielong was generous and the store owner just reminded Yan Tielong not to provoke the gang of mermaids just now. His local mermaid security patrol team would choose to treat the gangsters as invisible when faced with them. Of course, with Yan Tielong's current identity, he does not need to worry about encountering those gangsters. The gangster makes things difficult.
