Chapter 879: Arrival in Alexandria
Alexandria, as lively as ever.
The docks were crowded with people, and the owners of the merchant ships stared viciously at the slaves who were in charge of carrying them, shouting and screaming, for fear that the slaves would damage their goods.
This is Egypt, and this is the most prosperous Alexandria.
Cleopatra VII, also known as Cleopatra, had a brilliant political skill and made reasonable use of Egypt's geographical advantages to make Alexandria a shining pearl on the Mediterranean Sea and a prestigious commercial mecca.
And on this day, the arrival of a huge fleet immediately attracted everyone's attention. Looking at the huge building ship like a small town slowly approaching the pier, the merchant ship next to it looks like a tuna in front of a whale.
"Fake, the Paradise Water Master is here." Some players recognized the Zhuya flag fluttering on the ship, and they were shocked and angry.
The Paradise Mariner's achievements in the Europa region have long been known throughout the Mediterranean. As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. The Paradise Sailor appeared in Alexandria, apparently with a purpose. This is not good news for Egyptian players.
On the contrary, the Egyptian soldiers stationed in the harbor had apparently received orders from above for the arrival of the Paradise sailors, and quickly went forward to empty the docks, while arranging for a group of slaves to wait, so that the guests could arrange for the arrival of certain items in the shortest possible time.
Not long after, Lu Yao took Gao Shun and other guards to get off the flagship and board the dock. At this time, a shirtless, dark-skinned general greeted him.
"On the orders of Your Majesty, please go to the palace to meet you." The Egyptian general glanced at Lu Yao for a moment, turned sideways and raised his hand to lead.
Lu Yao nodded and walked in front with Gao Shun.
The Egyptian general followed with his guards, and was about to walk out of the dock when an accident happened. A player walks this way with a smile and an open hand.
Almost at the same time, Gao Shun and the Egyptian general pulled out their weapons at the same time, blocking Lu Yao in an instant, and the movements of the two sides seemed to be carved out of a mold, which made the two of them look at each other in unison.
Lu Yao recognized the person, pushed the two away, greeted them with a smile, and gave the player a warm hug.
Abdullah said enthusiastically: "My friend, the dragon cannon is very useful, we like it very much, but the number is a little less." I hope you have good news and can sell us plenty of shells. ”
Lu Yao smiled and shook his head: "You know that this business is very sought-after now. ”
Abdullah smiled and did not deny it. Now that the dragon cannon has lifted the restrictions on its sale, all countries are eyeing this. The oil tyrants may not have anything else, but they are willing to spend money, and the sources of intelligence are quite extensive.
"Of course I know, but we're friends after all, aren't we? Would you like to see your friends embarrassed? Abdullah squeezed his eyes.
Lu Yao smiled and didn't answer, knowing that Abdullah would never come this time completely for the dragon cannon. He is also not afraid to deal with Abdullah, an oil tyrant, until the other party reveals his true purpose.
Sure enough, Abdullah didn't dwell too much on the question of dragon artillery, and after a few idle words, he pretended to ask unintentionally: "What are you doing in Alexandria this time?" ”
Lu Yao smiled.
That is what Abdullah really aims for. Cleopatra was a clever blend of NPCs and players, unlike other NPCs and players. Because of this, he came to Alexandria and made the oil tycoons highly vigilant.
After all, the oil tycoons are very xenophobic.
"Cleopatra VII wants to buy dragon cannons, you know, I'm more than happy to deal with NPCs." Lu Yao smiled and gave the answer half-truthfully.
Abdullah was stunned and smiled wryly.
It's no secret that Lu Yao rejects players. The answer couldn't be more reasonable. The dragon cannon is sold to the player, and the dragon cannon sold in the next moment will shoot at Zhu Ya. And selling to NPCs, especially Cleopatra in Europa, is basically zero.
After all, NPCs are region-oriented, and with the exception of the Roman Empire, few NPCs are willing to wage war against foreign countries.
"True or fake?" Abdullah expressed deep suspicion and secretly looked at the expression on Lu Yao's face, trying to find out the slightest clue in order to make a judgment.
If Lu Yao really had the heart to enter Egypt, it would be too dangerous for the Arab world.
Lu Yao didn't give Abdullah more time to test, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Cleopatra VII is already in a hurry. I have to take care of my customers first. ”
Abdullah wanted to entangle Lu Yao, but he was also helpless, and he had no suitable excuse, so he could only watch the Egyptian general escort Lu Yao and his party into Alexandria.
Seeing Lu Yao and his party enter the city, Abdullah's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly turned around and left.
Let's not mention these oil tyrants for the time being. Lu Yao was led by the Egyptian general into Alexandria and went all the way to the palace. What he saw and heard on the road made him secretly praise Egypt for being the four ancient civilizations of China after all, and it was quite prosperous.
Not only can you see Romans, blacks, Arabs, and even the Vikings of Northern Europe who wear horned helmets and are good at wielding giant axes. Not to mention the large number of players.
Lu Yao looked at these all kinds of people and others, and secretly woke up in his heart. It was only here that he felt for the first time the approach of the great era. Players from all over the world who came to Alexandria fully demonstrated the grandeur of the Age of Discovery.
Similarly, the appearance of Lu Yao and his entourage also attracted the attention of players. Faces that were completely different from those of the Europa region immediately made them recognize Lu Yao.
"Look, that's the lonely boat, the strongest player in the world, there is no one." Needless to say, this is a fan who worships Lu Yao.
"What did he come to Egypt for?" This is a pacifist who is worried that Lu Yao will bring war, after all, the legend that Lu Yao left in the Europa area is only war. The Armada is the Lord of Suffering.
"Is he going to dominate Cleopatra, hahaha......" This is a player who knows that Lu Yao has a "lustful" reputation.
All kinds of discussions are coming, bringing players more conjectures. Alexandria is an open commercial city with players from all over the Europa Zone, most of whom are freelancers who have small assets, love to travel, and are unhappy with war.
After all, it is home to the Great Lighthouse of Pressure Mountain, one of the seven wonders of the world that has become extinct.
Seeing Lu Yao and his party walk into the Egyptian palace, the players once again became hotly discussed. At the same time, private messages were sent almost simultaneously from the inner lines of various countries lurking in Alexandria.
So all the forces that came to Luzon with dragon cannons couldn't help but scold their mothers. Your sister's good business is not done, go to Egypt to dry hair!
When Black Widow received the information from the Queen of England, she was so angry that she immediately ordered a ship to be prepared and rushed to Alexandria immediately.
"What does this damn soul want from Egypt?"
