The port of Bodivia is not too busy. After all, not far away is Sevia, the port city with the largest inland cargo throughput in Feneport.
But the existence of Bodivia's port is necessary. After all, Bodivia has a natural deep-water port. Compared with Seville, which is greatly affected by tides because it is located at the mouth of the Essur River, the water depth of the port is often insufficient, and it is even necessary to manually dig channels and mark the safe routes for ships to enter and exit the port. The port of Bodivia Naturally located in the deep water shore section, the natural water depth at low water level has reached the port requirements, and the tidal range is also smaller. Many ore ships prefer to anchor here instead of Sevia.
But compared to the huge cargo flow generated by Sevia as it serves both sea and river ships, Bodivia looks much bleak, and there is a huge economic gap between the two cities not far apart.
Agnes got out of the carriage, put her hat on her head, glanced at the streets, which were obviously much deserted compared to Seville, and handed the coachman a five-lire and a one-lire note (according to the Regarding the conversion setting between gold lire and gold pound (five lire is equivalent to 8.33 suler), I said thank you. Five lire is the hiring fee, and one lire is a tip of thanks.
To be honest, the town under Anva Castle seems to be closer to Seville than Bodivia, but the kingdom administratively assigned the town to Bodivia instead of Seville. Ya.
It would have been wise to take the train from Sevia to Bodivia, had it not been for the Castle of Anva, which she had to go to.
She came from the mountain where Anwa Castle is located, bought a shirt and trousers that fit "Ella Boethia" better at a clothing store in the town, and found a carriage to the city of Bodivia. After staying one night, we set off before dawn this morning.
To be honest, it was not easy to find a carriage from the small town to the city of Bodivia. If she hadn't spent a "heavy sum" to hire it and impressed the carriage driver who was in urgent need of money, she might have had to wait for several days to get the carriage from the small town. Leave the town and head towards Bodivia.
Agnes glanced at the completely dark sky and sighed slightly. She needed to find a hotel to stay in tonight as soon as possible to avoid sleeping on the street.
"Miss Boethia, thank you for your generosity." The coachman was obviously a little happier when he saw the two banknotes handed to him by Agnes, and said, "I think I need to remind you that Bodivia is safe at night. It’s not very good, you’d better find a suitable hotel to stay in as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.”
Agnes asked with interest: "Do you have any hotel recommendations?"
The coachman thought for a moment and said, "The best one is of course the one in the city center square, but it's very expensive. A night's stay costs more than one gold liso. That's for the big shots."
"Generally speaking, hotels with a price of 1 to 3 lire a day have very good accommodation conditions and are relatively safe. However, it is best to block the door at night to avoid thieves. Hotels with a few lire a day are more dangerous. , even if someone openly breaks into a house and robs it, no one will care."
"Cent" is the next-level monetary unit of the lira, also in decimal form. But to be honest, Agnes rarely got banknotes with a denomination of "cents" before, because she had no use at all. It wasn't until she left the city of Feneport that she used banknotes of this denomination more frequently.
"The hotels closer to the city center square are more expensive, and the hotels closer to the city's main streets are more expensive. The more expensive hotels are relatively safer. Most of the hotels located in the suburbs and in the corners of city alleys are more dangerous, and there are even frequent murders. occur."
Agnes nodded and asked: "It sounds like the judgment of security in Bodivia is based on the remoteness of the streets?"
The coachman nodded hesitantly and agreed with Agnes.
"Okay, thank you for telling me this." Agnes thanked the coachman, handed over a five-cent note, then turned around and walked onto the street with her suitcase.
She bought a map of Bodivia from a bookstore that had not yet closed, and read it directly under the streetlight.
Agnes had actually memorized the rough map of Bodivia before, but firstly, that map was a bit out of date. Secondly, after all, she had never been to Bodivia. Simply looking at the map was not realistic enough, and it was still incomparable. Find your way around the streets of Bodivia directly with a map.
Her current location is on Bavey Peter Street in Bodivia. Bavey Peter Street is one of the main streets in Bodivia. According to the coachman's theory, she can find a hotel accommodation directly on this street.
But after listening to the coachman's words, Agnes suddenly had the idea of finding a hotel in a remote street to stay directly to see if it was possible for the bounty hunter "Ella Boethia" to open tonight.
After all, as far as she understood, helping the police catch criminals was also part of the bounty hunter's job.
"Forget it, let's go to the police station tomorrow to check the price of the bounty mission and then carefully consider what to do for the first mission. It's better not to cause trouble tonight."
Well, it was definitely not the reason why Agnes couldn't help but balk after thinking about the sanitary conditions of those hotels and what the former travelers might have done in those hotel beds.
Agnes walked along Bawe Peter Street, observing the shops on both sides of the street. She finally found a target that suited her and walked in.
There was a drowsy woman sitting behind the bar, her right arm resting on the bar, her head moving little by little, and she was about to fall asleep.
Agnes held the suitcase in one hand, walked forward, and tapped it twice on the bar.
"Madam, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I think this time should still be your working time." Agnes said with a smile.
The woman woke up suddenly and stood up.
"Sorry, sorry!" The woman bowed repeatedly and said apologetically.
Agnes smiled reassuringly at the woman and glanced at the price list behind the bar.
"Single room (no windows), one lira per day,"
"Single room, five cents a lira a day,"
"Double room, two liras and three cents per day..."
Agnes said to the woman: "I want an ordinary single room."
"Okay, okay, how many days will you stay?" The woman quickly took out a registration book from the drawer and asked Agnes.
"I think I should stay for a day first. If your accommodation is good and I need it, I will come and renew."
The woman asked Agnes to sign her surname in the book, and then said: "Okay, one lira a day and five points for the key deposit, a total of two lira. The key deposit will be returned to you when you check out. "
Agnes handed over two one-lire notes without much hesitation. The woman took out a key from the key cabinet at the back and handed it to Agnes.
"Your room is in Room 3 on the east side of the second floor. May the Mother Goddess bless you with a good dream." The woman bowed and said.
"Okay, thank you for your blessing, and praise the Mother Goddess." Agnes thanked her with a smile, and walked upstairs with her suitcase.
