Warhammer Seal

Chapter 10 The Spy of Marienburg

Slaanesh, what are you thinking?
Although the women in Ostermark were the ugliest among all the provinces in the entire empire, to Wende, all the women and men in all the collars were almost as ugly.

Scorched buck teeth, sunken nose, freckles all over the face, and a figure similar to Sylvania's skeleton.

Charge ten copper coins?Might as well solve it by hand.

"Why is there no Slaanesh to corrupt himself?"

Thinking like this, Wende embarked on the road to Marienburg.

After the road was built, the traffic between cities was a lot safer, and it was still some time before the orcs came down from the Jinte mine.

In the old world, traveling from one city to another was like gambling with your life.

Fortunately, he was familiar with the background, so Wende came to Marienburg intact.

If it was said that the prosperity of Marienburg could only be guessed by imagination before, now Wind can be regarded as seeing the beauty of this port city with his own eyes.

The patrolling soldiers were all kinds of strange, including heavy spear mercenaries from Tyrell, dwarf miners, Norscan mercenaries, and even high elf sea guards from Lothern.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there may be ratmen under this city.

It has to be said that the equipment of these mercenaries is three levels better than that of the empire, and the level of training has made them become sixth-level veterans, with three silver medals hanging on their chests.

If you have money, you are willing to buy good equipment.

The biggest feature of Marienburg is openness, tolerance, and self-confidence.

Anyone can come to the city, as long as they pay the taxes they qualify for.

With two copper coins, Wende gained the right to enter the city, and it was no wonder that the place was riddled with holes.

After entering the Rick Wall, it is considered to have entered the inner city of Marienburg.

Just like the water city of Venice, this is not a harbor city, but a city built on various small islands.

To the north of Rick's Wall is the Indy Block, which provides various financial services, including currency exchange for various races, as well as some intelligence services.

To the south are Louis Town and Kislev Street, where Maozi gathers. Maozi after drinking strong drinks is a traditional role of causing trouble, and Wende doesn't want to experience being robbed once.

I could only follow the road through the Indy neighborhood, waved my hand at the beggars and salesmen, and quickly entered the golden hill.

This is the largest human craftsman area.

Dye workshops, clothing workshops, artisan workshops, jewelry workshops, you can buy and repair everything you can think of here.

Business is booming, and every shop lacks labor, which attracts foreigners very much.

The Golden Hill is a place worth protecting. When attacking Marienburg, this place must be kept intact, at least the dye workshop must be protected from damage.

Make a silent note, then speed through the muddy streets.

Continuing to the north is a bazaar called BY Market, which is small in scale, but sells all kinds of strange things.

Aurora's silk, although Wende could see that it was forged with cloth.

The head of the Ratman, although Wende knew that this so-called out-of-print thing was everywhere underground.

Dragon egg shells, fake, stones mixed with other egg shells.

Refining gunpowder, this thing is finally real, but next door is a blacksmith shop with sparks, is it safe?
The green-skinned pet Grits, like goblins, are scary when they gather together, but they are very timid when they are alone, and they cry like Grits when they are whipped by their master.

They're supposed to be farts.

Wende squatted in front of this fart, and it was actually looking at Wende's face.

This kind of creature seems to have a strong degree of obedience and cunning, understands human language, and knows to complete the master's orders, and can do basic calculations.

"Buy it or not? You can get an orc pet for twenty silver coins. As long as you are stronger than this fart, he will never dare to rebel."

The owner of the slave shop hurried over to greet Wende.

He really wanted to buy a grit to study orc social structure and waaagh, especially curious about how a grit made and drove a grit pump truck.

But his pocket was too small, so he told the boss that he only had twelve silver coins.

Loving the poor and loving the rich are the basic social values ​​of Marienburg. When Wende had no money, the owner of the slave shop immediately turned around to greet other customers.

Well, after visiting the entire BY market, [-]% of them are fakes, and even the real ones are ridiculously expensive.

Looking at the building that looked like it was further north, Wende knew it all at once. Isn't that a source of stolen goods?

Passing through the dealer's market, a place where formal business is done, you can enter a corner full of dark alleys.

Small alleys.

This is the most open and upright place in Marienburg. After all, compared to the nobles and businessmen who are fighting each other, everything in the narrow alleys has its own rules.

No cheating on employers, no stealing from employers, no leaving employers before the end of employment.

If they were mercenaries, they must be a very powerful fighting force, but unfortunately, there are only thieves and killers living here.

You only need to spend a little money to make the person you hate disappear from this world, without any legal means, are you not tempted?
Bretonnian farmers dirty your shoes digging?Don't worry, you only need to pay the round-trip fare and two copper coins, and the old farmer in Barto can completely disappear.

Everyone has a price for their heads, as long as they can afford it, many people are willing to do it.

Stealing is also possible, but it is a little more expensive than killing people.

On one of the quest bars, there was a yellowed quest sheet, on which was none other than the metal-faced Barshazer Geert.

"So he looked so handsome when he wasn't wearing the metal mask!"

Wende began to look at the task list with great interest.

Gelt's first appearance was to turn lead ingots into gold, and then use the money to hire a ship to take him to Altdorf, and finally slipped away before the gold turned back into lead.

At that time, Gelt devoted himself to the study of metal magic, eager to practice real alchemy, turning stones into gold, but he was not very skilled in the skills.

The reward amount is 10 silver coins.

Nobody took up the mission in Thin Knife Alley before, because they didn't know who this Gelt was.

Now no one accepts the mission in Thin Knife Alley because everyone knows who this Gelt is.

Xidao Alley is located under the north city wall. There are no patrols in this area, but the security is surprisingly good.

The northern wall also protects another area, Arab Town, where there are various desert goods brought from Araby, date palm camels, and even some items of the Tomb King.

Tsk tsk tsk, tomb robbery is done by other people.

To the south is the small archipelago of secret treasures. There are dozens of small islands here, all of which sell various rare treasures. The biggest feature is that they are only open to professional customers.

A ragged guy like Wende is not eligible to enter there and spend money.

To the south of the small archipelago of secret treasures is the palace aristocratic area, which is even more inaccessible. There is even a Nippon-style tower there.

Before Wende stopped to appreciate the beauty of the entire aristocratic area of ​​the palace, two guards from Marienburg had already walked behind him and grabbed his arms fiercely.

"We suspect you are a spy, come with us honestly!"
