After entering the oasis, the tense atmosphere of the entire caravan became relaxed. It should be that this is already the sphere of influence under the direct control of the 'Coconut Lu City', and any kind of attack and conflict is a provocation to the 'Coconut Lu City' side. And in the vast desert outside, it is a lawless three-way zone. The only thing that can be relied on for safety is the sword in the hands of the business travelers themselves.

Walking through the oasis, if it weren't for the fact that his lungs still looked a little dry, Barrett felt like he was back on the west coast of the continent. Groups of young and old in robes are diligently carrying water to water the crops in the fields. But Barrett could see that the 'village women and farmers' here were really careful in their use of water compared to places where there was really plenty of water.

The small water scoop moves slowly, as if it is afraid that the water in the bucket will be spilled into a dull and critical place. Each low crop is gently brushed off the leaves, and the water in the scoop only moistens the most critical roots. They carefully tended the plants one by one, in stark contrast to the extensive management of the Bolham Territory.

I don't know which side of the farmers are better at intensive farming than the Dragon Nation in the Far East! Such a question has been plaguing Barrett since the beginning of the internal test, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he dug it out of the depths of his mind.

By contrast, agricultural workers in most parts of the Western Continent are much happier. Even the Boreham Collar, which is known for its intensive farming, is very rugged compared to these areas of really fine work. So in terms of the yield of the same area. Naturally, it is not as good as the Thang Long Empire in the Far East.

But the vast expanse of land. However, the Western Continent has exceeded the number per capita. Of course, extensive management also has the advantages of extensive management. That is, the land deterioration of farmland is slow. Relying solely on rotational tillage and alfalfa cultivation can basically ensure the restoration of soil fertility. And those high-yielding farmland in the East, no matter how much fertilizer is applied, often has a plummeting yield after decades. However, considering the huge population pressure of the other side, it is still unknown which is better or worse.

As the city approached, the nearby farmland became somewhat fragmented, and outside the city, there were also open-air warehouses connected together, as well as some simple warehouses with wavy roofs. As there is no rain all year round, there are no clouds. The sky is clear in the Pamir region. The storage of goods does not seem to have a need for rain protection. The goods that are stored in the zài warehouse are either not able to withstand the sun or are of high value, making it difficult to feel at ease in the open air.

Looking at these goods placed in the open air, Barrett immediately had a familiar feeling: "This large warehouse outside the city can be regarded as a major feature of most trade nodes!" Even outside Poitou, you can see it every day. It's just that we have a high demand for rain protection there. ’

At the same time, the 'Camel Bell Caravan' also stopped in front of the warehouse. Half of the caravan was immediately unloaded with camels, and after leaving behind a steward and a third of his men, the rest of the group, including Barrett, continued their journey into the city.

As if afraid that Barrett would not understand, Wickham, who was next to him, immediately explained: "What is unloaded here is cargo that needs to be transferred elsewhere. What is needed in the 'Coconut City' is what needs to be sent directly into the city now. ”

Pretending to be the first time Barrett had seen such a scene. He nodded thoughtfully, his gaze swept over another caravan next to the warehouse. The diplops were carrying a lot of earthy yellow bagged items. In addition, there are better stacks. Pots and pans tied with string.

It doesn't seem to be an ordinary bag, but a specialized waterproof bag. In the Norhan kingdom, the bag contained either salt or spices. However, spices are relatively cheap in the Pamirs, and the climate has been preserved. So they should be a bunch of salt dealers? Barrett, who had a judgment in mind, immediately made the decision not to have anything to do with the caravan.

No matter which city it is, it is like a greedy beast, devouring massive resources all the time. Because urban dwellers often have higher requirements for life, the necessities they need are far from what the oasis in front of them can provide - in fact, light is the most basic guarantee of survival, and the oasis alone can still do it. But the residents of Coconut City want more than just survival. In fact, this kind of behavior seems to most of the inhabitants of the Pamir region to be a bit extravagant!

The caravan continuing in the foreground was already able to see the walls of the 'Coconut Castle', and at this point the situation on both sides of the road changed, giving the impression that one was walking into a bazaar. There were stalls on both sides of the road, and when the vendors saw the caravan passing by, they immediately started to sell their goods.

Sturdy horses and tall camels flow here. From time to time, someone stops and picks and chooses on the stall in front of them. There are even some half-grown children chasing and playing here. This gave Barrett a lot of peace of mind about the safety of the 'Coconut City' - after all, in an area where slavery was still in place, parents had to have a great deal of confidence in the local security environment to let their children play outside.

But Barrett had no intention of stopping. Because the stalls in front of me are all messy-looking things. Obviously, the 'market' organized by the local residents in front of us has not been planned, and there are even stalls selling nutmeg that sell local Tan sheep next to it, so it is normal for the spices used for medicine or food to be stained with wool and even sheep dung.

More importantly, the smell of the area near the city gate became very strange. The desert oases are most common in fruits, spices, cotton and linen, and livestock. Because of the abundance of spices, as well as grazing livestock. The largest quantity of goods in this market is also of these two. The smell of spices mixed with the foul stench of livestock manure made it feel like you were living under a 'stinky cloud'.

Seeing Barrett sniffle and frown, the other members of the 'Camel Bell Caravan' suddenly felt a sigh of relief—in their eyes, Barrett was truly a creature in the same dimension as them. The strength that came out of the previous expression. and a face that was too young compared to strength. It's really hard for people to look at Barrett with normal eyes!

"Speaking of the Bolim brothers. Why do you want to come to 'Coconut Lu City'! Until now, you don't seem to mention the purpose of walking alone through the desert. Wickham's words had just been spoken. The rest of the team immediately glared at the young man they saw as unskilled.

Barrett joined the 'Ishuling Caravan' for coming to the City of Coconut Lu, even the leader of the caravan, Mr. Alexa, did not ask about it. After all, this kind of thing is about Barrett's **, and Mr. Alexa is afraid that something will happen and offend the strong man in front of him - after all, they have only been together for two days, and the high-ranking people of the caravan really can't determine the character of this 'master', so they are naturally cautious.

"I've been asked to come here to find a dancer named Freya! If you know anything about her, I'll give you something in return. But Barrett was telling the truth. After all, he just arrived in Pamir, and he can be said to have a dark eye, even if he leaves the 'Ishu Bell Caravan', he will also go to the city to inquire about information. From this point of view, there is no need to hide it at all.

"Looking for a dancing girl?" Immediately, a lewd look appeared on Wickham's face. But at this moment, the surrounding caravan members immediately began to talk about it.

"He seems to be talking about 'Freya.'"

"It's probably that 'Freya', right!"

"I guess it is! After all, the identity of a gentleman should not be looking for ordinary people. ”

Barrett, who heard their words, immediately turned his head and asked, "Do you know where the lady named Freya is now?" ”

"Could you please confirm Mr. Boram that the lady you are looking for is a woman with pale pink skin, long aqua blue hair, and silver eyes?" At this time, the round Elaine steward from before spoke cautiously.

Hearing this, Barrett recalled the information given to him by Lord Earl, and then nodded naturally: "It's just a very easy thing to lighten the color of your hair, and I think it's probably her." As a mixed-race child, she does look a little different from others. ”

"If it's really the 'Freya' lady, it's not easy to find her. Normally, the 'Star and Moon Cross' circus she was in was erratic. The location of the next stop can only be known locally two days in advance. Steward Elaine replied with a frown, "Of course, the unusually 'warm' lady Freya. Occasionally, he will suddenly appear in a bar in a certain town. But the whole Pamir region is so big, who knows which tavern she will appear in the next moment. So if you're really looking for that amazing lady, Mr. Boram, you'll probably need to be patient not only if you need to be lucky. ”

Barrett, who heard this, smiled wryly: "I would have known that I wouldn't have accepted this troublesome task." But now that I've given the man a promise, I'll have no choice but to go ahead. May Lady Luck take care of me! Find the mysterious dancer sooner rather than later, so that my life can get back on track. ”

"We can only wish you the best of luck in this regard. But with the magical abilities of that 'Freya' lady, you may already know your purpose. If she's lucky, it won't be long before she'll find her own. Steward Elaine said with a smile.

But at the same time, I don't know who in the caravan said such words: "That's right! That lady likes you the most with your good face and strong body. Maybe she'll be in a hurry to find you on your first night in town. ”

Hearing this, Steward Elaine immediately turned his head and scolded: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

"It's okay! It's okay! I would also like to thank Mr. Elaine for the information. "Barrett wasn't prepared to do anything about such a small thing.

Hearing this, Elaine's steward nodded in front of Barrett, and immediately turned his head and scolded: "Count you kid lucky!" ”

In the midst of these words, the 'Camel Bell Caravan' has come to the gate of the 'Coconut City'. The gate is very well designed, with two iron-clad gates on the outside and a small gate on the left. The city gate in front of me is not all open, but the small gate on the left is opened for pedestrians to enter and exit.

Perhaps it is because of the small door that the flow of people in and out is quite busy. However, after seeing the picture of even someone driving the sheep out of the small door, Barrett was almost dumbfounded. Then all the caravan members had to come down and lead the way, one by one through the somewhat narrow doorway. But even in this very inconvenient situation, the door in front of me never showed any sign of opening.

Barrett subconsciously glanced up at the gate when he passed through it, and he found that there was a fence gate inside the gate, and now the fence gate was suspended high in the air, controlled by a winch on the top of the gate.

After stepping into the road 'Coconut Castle', Barrett found that there were about 2-storey bungalows on both sides of the road. However, although the overall appearance of the houses in this area is very simple, they are made of bricks and stone slabs. Most of the walls are filled with palm-sized window openings, and behind which window openings are a wall - a unique cooling facility designed by the updraft principle, which fully embodies the wisdom of the desert people.

After continuing on the walk for about 200 meters, the 'Camel Bell Caravan' stopped at a square. It can be seen that this should be a bazaar. There are shops around the square, and although the storefronts are small, they look much more formal than the stalls. However, at a glance, Barrett found that the goods sold here were similar to the 'bazaar' outside the city, and he immediately lost interest.

"I'm going to City Hall now, can I have the honour of having Mr. Boram with me? I think Master Caldecott will welcome the Master. Mr. Alexa, pointing to the three-story building in the distance, extended an invitation to Barrett.

With a keen eye, Barrett noticed that the small building was very elaborate and chic, and there was even a fountain in front of its door. For this dripping desert, this is definitely a luxury. (To be continued......)
