n“However, generally, many things are still delayed. No matter what, I have to bring more ambergris back this time.”
nNot long after, Levi and the Wild Dog Knight arrived at the gate of the Holy City.
nLooking at the magnificent city in front of him, the Wild Dog Knight clicked his tongue in admiration.
n“The view of the Holy City by the sea is too magnificent. Every time I look at this huge city, I feel small.”
nLi Wei did not feel anything. In his previous life, there were many cities that were bigger than the Holy City.
nAs the largest city in the Tuva Empire, the Holy City had a population of two million.
nHowever, the Holy City was divided into three districts: the outer city, the middle city, and the inner urban area. Most of the residents of the Holy City lived in the outer city, which was crowded like slums. The middle city was where the small nobles and wealthy merchants of the Tuva Empire lived, while the inner city was where the high-ranking officials and the royal family lived.
nBoth of them did not have a pass, but this Wild Dog Knight was indeed resourceful. He found a way to let them enter the city.
nIt was a circus that was going to participate in the 300th anniversary of the
nHoly City. The leader of the circus was a plump noble. The Wild Dog Knight took out a few Tuva gold coins and successfully bribed the leader. Both of them went to the team behind the circus. There were some beautiful ladies dressed scantily and smoking tobacco. They were all circus staff.
nThe circus was already used to bringing people into the city.
n“Put on your makeup and don’t talk later.” A golden-haired lady with oil paint on her face said to Li Wei. She was sitting on a cage that contained a ferocious beast. Inside the cage was a huge Scorpion-tailed Tiger. When this ferocious beast matured, it was as difficult to deal with as an official knight. Although it was not a match for the Northern Giant Bear, it was almost as strong as a low-level knight.
nThis Scorpion-tailed Tiger was the signature and treasure of their circus.
nThis blonde lady was the Scorpion-tailed Tiger’s beast tamer.
nLi Wei took the oil paint and applied it to his face.
nHe was also a beast tamer, and he had the special effect of Heart of the Wild. He could sense the hostility the Scorpion-tailed Tiger had toward him.
nWhen the Scorpion-tailed Tiger saw a stranger like Li Wei, it immediately became alert. It bared its fangs at Li Wei and aimed its tail at him like a poisonous scorpion.
nThe golden-haired lady didn’t stop him. She looked at everything with interest. After all, the Scorpion-tailed Tiger was in the cage, so it wouldn’t cause any danger.
nLi Wei did not move when he saw that a beast was actually hostile towards him. He only clenched his fists, causing cracking sounds to ring out. His eyes were fierce as he stared at the Scorpion-tailed Tiger.
nThe beast looked into Li Wei’s eyes. The beast’s perception was very sharp. It saw Li Wei’s pupils turn into vertical slits at that moment, staring at it like a poisonous snake, emitting a cold aura.
nOn Li Wei’s chest, a black snake coiled and danced wildly. The sea demons, giant bears, and man-faced spiders below him danced wildly, their flames soaring into the sky. These legendary ferocious beasts seemed to have come alive.
n“Oh…” The Scorpion-tailed Tiger suddenly cowered. It crouched in the cage, curled up in a corner, and trembled.
n“Miss, take care of your kitten.” Li Wei said calmly.
nThe golden-haired lady suddenly realized that her Scorpion-tailed Tiger seemed to be cowering. It was afraid.
n“Is it afraid of this person?” She looked suspiciously at the burly youth who did not look very old.
nAlthough he wasn’t a knight, he was able to make a fierce beast that was comparable to a knight so afraid. Didn’t this mean that this young man was a very powerful knight?
nInstantly, that playful attitude disappeared. Along the way, she did not even dare to look Li Wei in the eye.
nAfter successfully entering the city with the circus, Li Wei discovered that there were many soldiers patrolling outside the city. It seemed that they were preparing for the 300 -year grand ceremony in a month.
n‘What a coincidence. It just so happens that the Holy City is at its busiest.” The Wild Dog Knight looked happy.
nHowever, Li Wei knew the purpose of this trip. Ambergris was a must. Other than that, he also had to collect as many breathing techniques, Turbellarian Egg, and evil spirit dust as possible. The more, the better.
nAfter parting ways with the circus, the Wild Dog Knight brought Li Wei to the largest chamber of commerce in the Holy City.
n“Do you have ambergris?” The Wild Dog Knight asked.
nThe staff of the Chamber of Commerce nodded. “Yes, one bottle costs 100 Tuva dollars. There are five bottles left. How many do you need?”
nLi Wei frowned. The price was not bad. Converted to the standard gold coins of the Emerald Kingdom, it was about 200 gold coins per bottle. It was much cheaper than the ones in the kingdom. The kingdom had sold it for 300 gold coins, but it was still impossible to buy it.
nHowever, there were only five bottles…This was not enough.
nIt wasn’t easy for him to come here, but taking only five bottles would be a loss.
n“I want all five of them. Are there any more?” Li Wei made the Wild Dog Knight ask the staff.
n“If you want more, in the shortest duration, you’ll have to wait for a month. In a month’s time, there will be a traditional beast-fighting performance at the Holy City Ceremony. At that time, the Holy City’s Guardian God, the Fist of the
nEmpire, will perform killing Earthly Dragon Beasts with his bare hands in the
nColosseum. After that, a batch of ambergris will be handed over to our
nChamber of Commerce for sale..”
