In the eighth century AD, it should be the era of Baghdad!

At that time, Baghdad was the Arab kingdom and the most prosperous city in the world. Influenced by Rome and Greece, Baghdad could be said to be the center of world trade. The great King Lasido laid the foundation for the prosperity of Baghdad. Until the mid-8th century, the Emperor Caliph Halen ruled the Arab Empire, expanded the city of Baghdad, and built mosques, schools, libraries, observatories, inns, and markets, which made Baghdad reach the peak of the world in both its economy and culture. Even Chinese merchants thousands of miles away came here to trade with silk, porcelain and tea!

The bearded captain was very proud of Baghdad. That attitude was understandable. Just like Yan Xiaoyi would be complacent if he mentioned the prosperous Tang Dynasty. However, the prosperity of Baghdad is really not in the eyes of Yan Xiaoyi and the other two. Although it is very lively, it is only at the market level. Of course, it is not that Baghdad is not good, but the times are different. Yan Xiaoyi and the other three have all seen the prosperous and metropolis of later generations. Yan Xiaoyi had been to Shanghai several times before, and stood on the overpass to look at the subway station. The only thought was how many people come in and out were more than men used to pass on their family line!

Of course, although they didn't care, the three of them wouldn't show it, otherwise wouldn't they cause trouble for themselves?

Saying goodbye to the bearded captain, the three of them entered Baghdad from the port!

The market is very lively, most of which sell some local handmade products. The most popular ones are silk from the ancient Eastern Kingdoms, and some items exported from Rome and Greece. What is particularly surprising is that there are watermelons. Don’t think it’s strange. Watermelons were discovered in the fourth and fifth century and were far from popular during this period. They can be said to be a luxury fruit. It can be seen that Baghdad was indeed very prosperous at this time.

Benjamin said: "We can go and exchange the gems and get some points. In addition, since the points have been obtained, can the sandalwood ship be sold? After all, it is difficult to move forward without money, and I think we should get a set of clothes as soon as possible."

Benjamin's proposal was agreed, and the gems were taken away by Benjamin to the market to find other players for points items, Yan Xiaoyi resisted the sandalwood ship to sell, while Yu Xiang Ruizi went to find a place to live, of course, he had to find a clothing store. If there weren't a large number of foreign merchants and many strange people in Baghdad, they would have to be sent to the scaffolding platform as pagans for their dress.

Yan Xiaoyi said: "We can actually act separately and gather at the clothing point at that time."

Benjamin and Yu Xiang Ruizi had no objection. After the three of them made up their minds, they went out separately.

Yan Xiaoyi took the sandalwood ship directly to the Zigui trade market. Most of the trades here are import and export trade. The merchants come from other countries, and there is no stall here, just find a piece of open space to shout. Of course, if the transaction is successful, the necessary taxes still need to be paid. Yan Xiaoyi was afraid of trouble and was lazy to shout like others, so he threw the sandalwood ship to the ground and put a sign on it and wrote: Sandalwood!

Sandalwood has been very popular and rare throughout the ages. Of course, it was naturally more expensive when it was cut down in later generations. There were many in this era, but the price was not low. The reason is that the minerals in this era were also very rich. The main currency in Baghdad at that time were gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins, and then Arabic was engraved on it. If this was placed in the 21st century, gold coins would be directly collected and could not be used for trading. Therefore, due to the rich minerals, the value of gold coins in this era was also relatively low.

Yan Xiaoyi's sandalwood ship was very popular and soon surrounded people. However, this kind of thing that only takes 1,800 gold coins was still very expensive. In the end, the three merchants jointly bought the sandalwood ship from Yan Xiaoyi with 11 gold coins. As for how to disassemble the ship and divide it, it was not related to Yan Xiaoyi's business. Anyway, he would have money.

After getting the sandalwood ship, Yan Xiaoyi went to find Yu Xiang Ruizi and bought three sets of Arabic clothes in the clothing store, a wide robe and a white headscarf. Yan Xiaoyi also deliberately bought a dagger with gems inlaid and inserted it around his waist for decoration.

At this time, Benjamin also stumbled into the clothing store. Yan Xiaoyi quickly waved and said, "Come and try the clothes."

Benjamin gasped and said, "What clothes to try? Come with me quickly and recruit crew members to chase the slave ship!"

Yan Xiaoyi and Yu Xiangruizi showed confusion. Benjamin had to pick up his clothes, put them on his body, and walked out, saying, "Do you know that 1,001 nights are composed of many stories?"

"Nonsense!" Yan Xiaoyi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't treat common sense as a brain teaser, okay?"

Benjamin said: "Do you know that there are real stories and real characters in a thousand and one night?"

"Huh!" Yan Xiaoyi said: "I really don't know this!"

Yu Xiang Ruizi said: "According to historical records, Alibaba and the forty thieves should be true stories. It is unknown whether there is any Alibaba person. However, during the reign of King Lasido, there was indeed a group of robbers claiming to be the forty thieves. They were brutal in their style and killed people. They often moved around Baghdad. In the end, King Lasido personally led his army to set up an ambush and encircled the forty thieves to completely wipe out the forty thieves!"

Benjamin nodded and said, "That's it. I met a player in the market. He got clues, or he might have received a plot mission. King Lasido ambushed the forty thieves last night. However, Harrysan, the leader of the forty thieves, escaped with some remnants. When the player heard the news, Harrysan ran away in a slave ship. He naturally wanted to chase him, but he had to recruit five crew members!"

Yan Xiaoyi said: "Why are there five..."

Yan Xiaoyi just asked and understood because he happened to open the collection!

In the collection, the treasures of the Forty Thieves rank third in the collection, with up to 3 points, but there is a quota limit. Only the top five can get points if they find the treasure. Of course, following this clue, finding the treasures of the Forty Thieves is a big sum of points, and there is a chance to meet Alibaba. If you can get the plot mission, there are additional points.

Benjamin said: "The other party requires outstanding strength and ability to get a ship. Of course, the latter point is the point, because he can't afford the ship to chase the forty thieves."

Yan Xiaoyi said: "I understand, it means that he uses "technology" to invest in the stock market, and everything else belongs to us."

Benjamin said: "Are you not satisfied?"

Yan Xiaoyi thought for a while and said, "I'm not very satisfied. I feel like we are just coolies, but I have to say that this temptation is hard to refuse. After all, with those 300 points, there is a great hope of winning the event!"

Since Yan Xiaoyi cannot refuse the temptation, there is naturally nothing to say. Even if he is dissatisfied, he must participate!

A moment later, Yan Xiaoyi met the player in the market.

"I am Mabson!" Mabson's attitude was very arrogant and pointed at Yan Xiaoyi and said, "If you can find a boat for me to go out to sea, I will take you to find the treasures of the forty thieves!"

Yan Xiaoyi had the urge to cut off this idiot with one sword. Although he knew where the forty thieves were, in fact, if there was no ship, he would definitely not be able to find the forty thieves. Yan Xiaoyi had a lot of gold coins in his hand, so he could take a boat or even buy a boat directly. Only with Yan Xiaoyi could he sail. Therefore, the two sides should cooperate with each other equally, but this guy had an attitude of giving alms. This attitude made Yan Xiaoyi immediately want to use his head and take off his head.

"Participate, patient..." Benjamin quickly pulled Yan Xiaoyi aside and said, "Normal people can't care about fools, so don't pay attention to that fool. At least he knows the whereabouts of the forty thieves. If you are angry, you should take a deep breath. Wow, how beautiful this world is."

Yan Xiaoyi took a deep breath and suppressed the unhappy feeling. Mabson urged over there: "Hey, don't leave, hurry up, don't waste time, don't know that time is money!"

Yan Xiaoyi suddenly became angry again.

Benjamin was speechless and said helplessly: "We can first find the treasure of the forty thieves. After finding the treasure, I don't mind you beating him hard. If possible, I want to kick him twice, but now I'm still patient, patient..."

"I'm for everyone's benefit!" Yan Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise I'll beat that guy I won't even know him!"

Benjamin could only smile helplessly.

After Yan Xiaoyi was willing to pay, things became much simpler. Although Mabson had no money, he was planning ahead. He had already found the ship and had some crew members.

After the four arrived at the port, Mabson pointed to a middle-aged man whose hat was almost pressed to his eyes and said, "This is Captain Kashim, who discovered that the forty thieves had mixed up with the slave ship and fled Baghdad. The rest were his crew members. He could take us out, but he had to buy a ship first."

Yu Xiang Ruizi pulled Yan Xiaoyi and whispered: "Why are these people a bit ferocious?"

Yan Xiaoyi whispered in a low voice: "All seamen are all seamen, and they can't circle and fork at sea. After sailing for a long time, they can only hold on. After holding on for a long time, they will become endocrine disorders. How can it not be violent?"

Benjamin rolled his eyes on the side and said in a voice: "When is it? Can you say something reliable?"

"No problem!" Yan Xiaoyi took out his wallet and said, "I have money, but I don't know where to buy a boat."

Kashim nodded immediately and said, "No problem, I know there is a ship to sell, please come with me."

I taught Kaheim and Benjamin about buying a boat. It’s really good to say that NP’s efficiency is high. I prepared a boat in less than half an hour. Of course, the boat was a bit broken, but then again, if it were a big ship, Yan Xiaoyi’s little money would probably not be enough!

Arriving, setting sail, setting sail...

Yan Xiaoyi and the others are messing around, but Kashim is very experienced and he is responsible for everything.

However, Yan Xiaoyi still thought of a question: "Where should we chase after us?"

"Basra!" said Kashim: "It is the Harbour City, and all slaves will be transported there, no exception!"

Of course, when you arrive at Basra, the captain will not care.

The system gives 3 hours for the time from Baghdad to Basra, which is not very long, but just happens to be at night.

Kashim said: "Actually you can go to sleep for a while, so that you can nourish your spirits!"

This proposal was recognized by everyone. After all, they really couldn't help on the deck, but no one noticed that when Yan Xiaoyi and the others turned around and entered the cabin, Kashim's little eyes hidden under the cap suddenly showed a fierce light!
