Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1395 Lin Lan: I knock, I know this potion.
He actually knew much more inside information about the slave traders in Shemstone City than this old lady.

Mander, the slave trader who was devoured by the invisible breath, was actually the leader of the slave traders here and one of the underground controllers of the black market in Sheetrock City.

There are no farmlands or mines around this town located on the edge of the South Wind Plain.

So it is obvious that the economic source of this remote town is actually the tax revenue brought by black market trade.

Thanks to Mander's memory, Lin Lan knew clearly that both the town guardian, Malock, and the local nobles had acquiesced to the existence of the black market.

As a time traveler, he certainly wouldn't destroy the black market in Shimmering Stone City like a reckless man and then leave.

After all, many of the townspeople here rely on the black market for their livelihood, and the bulk of the black market's profits come mainly from magic props and Warcraft materials.

The slave trade is only a part of the black market.

“If you want to see the Pagans, you have to go to the East City District across the river where the black market is.

"There are still many slaves in the Mander Mansion. We can send them to the Holy Light Church later..."

He quickly made arrangements for today's itinerary in his mind, and then took the ship girl and Helophon with him, and led a group of barbarians into the prop store across the street.

There were not many people in the Sheath City Prop Store at this time. Apart from two sales clerks, there were only Marco Polo and his friends in the store which was filled with shelves and exhibits.

Looking at the dazzling array of potions and materials dropped by monsters, he had to admit that the little profiteer Akashi's replica of the Teaching Country's prop store was still very authentic.

When he was in the Oransi continent, Akashi opened a limited-time fantasy shop in the style of the Kingdom of Teaching in the Iron Blood temporary port area.

At that time, the Tianou Group also sent a large number of teaching country products from Yunhai City, along with instruction manuals, so that he was familiar with many common props in this prop store.

But even so, when he saw the prices marked on the items on the counter, he couldn't help but sigh that the prices of exported goods were indeed high.

You know, in the United States of Oran, a bottle of second-level life potion that slowly heals injuries is as expensive as a luxury car, and it is still in short supply.

But on the potion stand in front of him, the price of a bottle of second-level life potion was the same as the price of a basket of vegetables just now.

As for the number of life potions, there were so many that he was too lazy to count them.

"Hey! Teacher, look, what is this!"

But at this moment, Marco Polo strolled up to him at some point, and with a sly smile on his face, he held up the potion bottle in his hand that contained a bubbling dark red liquid and showed it to him.

"It looks like Coke. I really can't guess what kind of potion it is."

Since the glass bottle of the potion had no label, he could only stroke his chin and laugh jokingly.

"Thinking about it carefully, it really doesn't look familiar to you, does it?"

The Sardinian battleship girl, who was wearing the academy uniform, raised her lips to a playful smile and winked at him:

"Master Marco Polo, a friendly reminder, you have drunk this potion before, and Lutzow has given it rave reviews..."

"Ahem! Stop, stop! I know what potion this is!"

When he heard Marco Polo say the name of the lazy Iron-Blooded Battlecruiser Girl, he shuddered instinctively and immediately interrupted Marco Polo who was covering his mouth to hold back his laughter.

This bottle of potion was the culprit that was mixed into the Coke by Lutzow and tricked him into drinking it, leading to the annihilation of the entire Iron Blood Fleet - the intercourse potion!
That is the potion used by the Church of Holy Light in the Doctrine Kingdom to breed tamed dragons!

"I'm warning you, Marco Polo, don't try to trick me into drinking this potion again, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Seeing that the other ship girls didn't notice him, Lin Lan lowered his voice and spoke angrily to Marco Polo, whose face was red from laughing.

"Oh~ What good fruits do you mean?"

"In various ways... Anyway, put it back quickly. I have a psychological trauma about this potion."

"Okay, okay~ But I didn't expect that you were already so vigorous back then... Phew."

Marco Polo said this with a sly smile, then turned and walked away with the intercourse potion.

Only after watching Marco Polo put the potion back on the counter did he breathe a sigh of relief, turn around and walk back to the other ship girls who were accompanying the four alien girls to visit magic scrolls and other materials.

"Let's go to the pub and book a room first, then go out for a walk after lunch. I'll pay the bill then."

Hearing that he would pay the bill, the four lovely foreign girls cheered with joy. But Lin Lan knew that this was also his farewell gift to the four little ones.

Before setting off tomorrow, he will entrust these four little ones to the local mercenary association, and the mercenary group will escort them back to the academy.

After all, he still had to meet up with Algeria and the others first, so he definitely couldn't go with them.

So the group left the prop shop, and half an hour later, they successfully arrived at the highest-rated tavern in Sheathstone City.

Originally, during this period, Lin Lan planned to find an ordinary tavern to stay overnight.

But since it was lunch time, when he saw that the taverns along the way were extremely noisy and crowded, he finally chose the most expensive tavern in the area, which was also next to the Mercenary Association.

He can do anything, so why would he let the ship girls suffer?
What's more, his Sardinia and Iris ship girls are not short of magic source crystals, so there is no need to be so frugal.

The decoration of the lobby on the first floor of this pub is obviously luxurious. It is clean and tidy, and there is a faint floral scent in the air.

In addition to the good environment and few people living there, the location of this pub is also excellent.

Whether you are going to the aristocratic district, the local church, or the branches of major associations, staying here is the best solution.

Of course, this also means that the entry fee must be quite high.

As soon as they entered the tavern, two smiling female waiters came up to greet them.

"Gentlemen from the National Academy who have come from afar, welcome to the Glitterstone Tavern."

The waiters working in this high-end bar can tell at a glance that their identities are normal.

Calling Xiafei to help him, he quickly booked the most expensive room at the tavern's work counter.

This tavern hotel has three floors in total. Since it is not a peak season recently, they have booked the entire top floor at a discounted price.

Through chatting with the waiter, he learned that this tavern was jointly invested and built by the Mercenary Association and local nobles, and was mainly aimed at high-level professionals and nobles.

Therefore, the entire tavern is covered with protective magic around the clock, so there is no need to worry about thieves stealing or being attacked while sleeping.

"You really get what you pay for. It's a pity that there are no chain stores of this kind of pub, otherwise I would like to apply for a VIP membership."

After checking in, he took the girls on a small magic teleportation array and directly arrived at the third floor of the tavern.

Pushing open the door of a room at random, he looked at the exquisite and tidy room with luxurious decoration layout everywhere, and sighed.

"To be precise, yes, it does."

Joffre, who was beside him, explained to him at the right moment:

“Mercenary associations in every town will invest in building taverns, and high-level mercenary groups can enjoy discounts in such taverns with their mercenary group level badges.

"But in most cases, mercenaries generally prefer to stay in cheap taverns where there are all kinds of people, so that they can collect local information and seize the initiative."

Lin Lan understood this very well.

Mercenary profession relies mainly on intelligence.

The Church of Jesus is not Orlan, which has television stations and news. All the intelligence these mercenaries collect has to be obtained from taverns.

No wonder the pubs they saw along the way were so lively.

"Now the question is, teacher, how should we allocate the rooms?"

However, at this moment, Marco Polo suddenly raised his hand, looked at him with a smile and asked him this important question.

As Marco Polo finished his words, Lin Lan suddenly felt that he was being stared at by several expectant eyes at the same time.

Even the barbarians who had been chirping along the way seemed to have noticed something and all looked at him.

The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere suddenly became solemn, leaving the four foreign girls confused and at a loss.
