Disaster Strikes.

Chapter 137 Glory City

Thinking of this, Chen Mo did not shirk.

"If that's the case, it's really safer if everyone is together, thank you."

Jon smiled kindly.

"It's just helping each other. I don't know where you are from, what to call you, and what are you doing in Glory City?"

Chen Mo knew that the other party was just checking casually and didn't care. He smiled and said, "I'm from the Schumacher family. You can call me Chen Mo and go to Glory City to learn forging weapons."

Jon quickly brought Chen Mo to the team and introduced the new Chen Mo to everyone.

It wasn't until the group of people gathered more than forty people that under the command of Jon, they left Hamazha Castle and embarked on a journey to Glory City.

The journey was relatively peaceful.

The path that everyone took was the safest one, and with so many people, they didn't encounter bandits or strange beasts.

After passing through the dangerous area near the Hamaza family, the rest of the journey will be much safer.

People who travel alone like Chen Mo, besides him, there is also a young man named Vince, who comes from the distant Tuku family. It is said that he only arrived here after walking for half a month, and he wants to go to Glory City Learning herbal medicine knowledge, so the two naturally came together.

"Going this far alone?"

Chen Mo looked at Vince, and said in surprise: "You are too good!"

Facing Chen Mo's compliment, Vince said helplessly, "There is no other way. The pharmacist in the castle passed away two years ago. I had to come here under the orders of the lord."

Then Vince changed the subject.

"It's you. I heard that the Schumacher family is a powerful family. There must be many blacksmiths in the territory. Why don't you go to Glory City to learn to be a blacksmith?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to learn to forge magic equipment, not to learn to forge agricultural tools."

"what!?"

Vince was dumbfounded and said: "Do you still want to become a blacksmith? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. After all, those craftsmen not only need a long time to polish, but also need excellent qualifications. It's not that easy."

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help saying: "As expected of a big family, they still want to train a blacksmith, tsk tsk."

Chen Mo was helpless. Many of the people in the castle had never left in their entire lives. Most of their thoughts were imprisoned, and their individual consciousness was relatively weak.

"I'm just going to try my luck, let's take a step at a time."

Vince shrugged.

"Good luck."

"what!!"

at this time.

There was a cry of pain from behind the team.

This kind of thing is not uncommon along the way, Vince said excitedly: "Someone must have been poisoned again, I will go and see if it can be treated."

The speed of the team was not fast, Chen Mo had nothing to do, so he simply followed.

This is an old man with a girl on his back, and he is gritting his teeth and whimpering.

His left leg seemed to be bitten by some poisonous insect, and it was already purple and swollen. Seeing this, Vince said confidently: "It's a small problem, it's not a deadly poisonous insect. I happen to have some symptomatic herbs collected on the road here. You old man is lucky!"

There are only a few poisons that Vince can treat, and the old man's poison happens to be one of them.

"But my granddaughter..."

It was only then that Chen Mo noticed that the little girl next to the old man was about seven or eight years old, her body was covered with red spots, and she seemed to have a high fever.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mo understood.

The old man wanted to take his granddaughter to Glory City to find his son, who was the girl's father, and ask a more skilled pharmacist to treat the girl.

As for his current situation, he couldn't even take care of himself, obviously he couldn't carry the girl on his back anymore.

"Look at what?"

Vince, a hot-blooded young man, immediately said, "One for each, do you choose?"

Vince looked at Chen Mo as a matter of course, but Chen Mo was speechless.

I can't help being a little ashamed when I think that I am a natural disaster person, and I will start to respect the old, love the young, and be willing to help others here.

This must not be known by other natural disasters.

"Just think of it as a way to adapt to the new environment and double the exercise at the same time."

Chen Mo comforted himself.

After picking up the little girl, she said in a daze, "Thank you, brother."

Vince on the side heard the words, but stood up straight, with an air of masculinity, he was obliged to say: "Don't worry, you will be fine soon."

"It's really bothering you."

The old man was supported by Vince, and said apologetically.

Chen Mo also showed an awe-inspiring attitude, and responded: "It's only natural to help each other outside."

after one day.

"Is that the City of Glory!"

Not only Chen Mo, but many people in the team came to the City of Glory for the first time.

For example, Vince, or this pair of grandparents.

Chen Mo and Vince became familiar with the grandpa and grandson along the way. At this moment, as the fog in front of everyone suddenly disappeared, the vision suddenly opened up, and they saw a city built halfway up the mountain.

The towering city walls are far from being comparable to family castles such as Schumacher and Huiyao.

Around Glory City, although there are some cultivated fields, it is far from enough to feed the large population in the city, and this city built under the crater has sulfur, iron ore and other advanced technologies that are scarce in the surrounding families. craft.

As such.

There is an endless stream of merchants exchanging needs, which drives the development of Glory City.

The speed of their feet increased, and when they arrived at Glory City, they naturally dispersed. After all, it was just a temporary loose team, and there were no special rules except that they encountered danger on the way and defended against the enemy together.

And after this day of recuperation, the swelling of the old man's poisoning has basically disappeared. Once again, with his granddaughter behind his back, he thanked the two and said goodbye.

"Hey, the lord has established a good relationship with me. In the next two years, I will be an apprentice in the herbal medicine shop in the north of the city. You can come and find me when you have time."

After Chen Mo wrote it down, he waved goodbye to Vince.

In the future, when we deal with the venomous skin of the giant toad in the Demon Swamp, we will indeed need some information from the other party, but this matter is not urgent for the time being.

In Glory City, people come and go.

The vast majority of people here are adventurers who come and go. They obtain various resources by exploring the mist. It can be said that they have lived a life of licking blood since birth.

Chen Mo had already inquired about it when he was in the Schumacher family.

The so-called city lords of Glory City in the past were all strong men who stood out from among the adventurers. Compared with the few city guards controlled by the city lord, the real center of power in Glory City is actually an organization called the Adventurers Association. .

This organization is almost everywhere that humans set foot.

It can even be said that the city lord of Glory City is just a spokesperson recommended by the Adventurers Association. He is usually responsible for managing law and order, maintaining stability and decency, nothing more.

It's already afternoon.

After Chen Mo walked around the city briefly, he confirmed the general distribution of the city.

In addition to the adventurer's union occupying the bustling area in the center of the city, various workshops and vendors in the city divide the city into different blocks. The blacksmithing workshop that Chen Mo is looking for is located in a block in the north of the city, and in the south of the city where Vince is located. The herbal blocks are far apart.

"Rent a house first, let's talk about it after we have a place to stay."

It seems to be influenced by the experience of the hive world. At this moment, although Chen Mo has a lot of silver coins on his body, which is enough for him to live a prosperous life for the next year, he still came to this relatively dilapidated civilian neighborhood.

After many inquiries, he rented a single room.

The landlord is an aunt in her 50s, dark and thin, but she has the feeling of a street office in Chen Mo's impression, and keeps looking at Chen Mo.

"Fifty copper coins per month, and the rent is collected on time at the end of the month. Although Glory City is mixed with fish and dragons, Meishi Street is not a place where filth is hidden. Every month, the identities and occupations of the residents must be registered. Check, if there is something shameful about you, you'd better leave right now, I'll just pretend I haven't seen it."

The price of Glory City is undoubtedly much higher than that of the castle.

of course.

It also depends on what it is. If it is something like a weapon or brimstone, it will be cheaper.

Even though Chen Modang confessed his identity and purpose, took out three silver coins, and paid half a year's rent, the landlord seemed to feel much better after seeing Chen Mo's clean movements.

"Since you are here to be an apprentice, you should hurry up and find a good master, so as not to cause trouble during the inspection. This is the key. If you encounter any troubles that cannot be solved, you can come to me at any time."

After a hasty explanation, the landlady left.

Judging from her imposing manner, it is not difficult to judge that she should be a respectable person in Meishi Street, commonly known as a local snake.

The room was pitifully small, barely big enough for a bed.

There are public toilets and bathing places in the street.

After Chen Mo tidied up the house briefly, he put away the supplies he carried with him, only then did he notice a little boy about five or six years old lying at the door, secretly watching him.

Slightly surprised.

Chen Mo was about to say hello, when the little boy saw Chen Mo looking at him, he shyly ran into the next room.

It turned out to be a neighbor's child.

sunset.

Chen Mo walked out of the room, stretched his waist, and saw the child just now, hiding behind a woman, laughing at him, the woman who was sewing looked up, and when she saw Chen Mo, she smiled politely, and immediately He bowed his head again and continued sewing the clothes in his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Mo was taken aback.

I have to say, this beautiful woman is really moving!
Even though they were dressed plainly, they still couldn't hide their beauty. Although the two of them just looked at each other for a short time, it was still unforgettable for Chen Mo. This is probably the so-called white teeth and eyebrows, and the beauty of autumn water?

Just didn't expect it.

I was a little surprised that the civilian area I chose to live in had a beautiful woman as a neighbor.

"Are you new here?"

At this time.

A fat woman holding a baby next to her asked with a smile after seeing Chen Mo's surprise.

"Well, hello, my name is Chen Mo."

After the fat woman introduced herself to Chen Mo, she obviously knew that he was surprised by her beautiful female neighbor.

"Her husband died outside a few years ago. Later, he took the child here to work as a tailor, and lived by sewing for adventurers and people around him. I heard that many people are calling her attention, young man. , you have a chance too."

Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled awkwardly.

Although he was surprised that such a beautiful woman lived here, he was just curious.

Not to mention that he is practicing Tong Zi Gong and his identity as a natural disaster victim, his emotional and psychological age is just an ordinary high school student or college student who has been single for many years.

He didn't have the consciousness to become a stepfather just to kiss Fangze.

He chatted casually with the fat woman for a while, and learned that her husband was a stone quarryman, and although he made a decent income, he was living very poorly with his sick mother and four children to feed.

of course.

Even so, according to her words, it is much better than the civilians in some small family castles.

As the sun went down, the fat woman's husband finally came back dusty.

He doesn't look tall, and the burden of life seems to have weighed him down, and he is not very good at speaking. After seeing Chen Mo, a new neighbor who moved in, he just smiled politely, and was greeted by the fat woman. Zhang Luo took a shower and went to eat.

Gollum.

Chen Mo's stomach is also a little hungry.

But this time, Chen Mo didn't intend to wrong himself in terms of food, so he soon came to a restaurant with a pretty good business.

Most of the people who come here to consume are adventurers who carry weapons with them.

They ate meat and drank a lot, showing off their adventures. They were quite free and easy. After Chen Mo sat down, he also ordered a special delicacy here, the five-flavored charcoal naan.

I saw that they put the live thin noodles directly on the charcoal, and after pressing them evenly, they lit some hay that smelled like incense on the top of the noodles, and then from the outer layer of the barbecue, burned them with a sharp knife. The dagger quickly sliced ​​off a large plate of fat and thin golden barbecue.

The refreshing smell of meat, accompanied by the sound of sizzling oil, immediately whetted Chen Mo's appetite.

These barbecues seem to come from several different animals. With years of barbecue experience, they are artificially matched and skewered on a barbecue grill.

This is followed by a large glass of real ale, a small plate of dips, a small plate of spicy vegetables like onions, and a small plate of fruit and vegetables.

Chen Mo couldn't help eating it all at once.

After the oil rubbed, squeezed, and flowed between the mouth and mouth, the beauty of mixing the spices into the depths of the throat immediately swept away Chen Mo's tiredness of the past few days.

"Guest, your charcoal naan is here!"

This piece of naan baked over charcoal fire, although the charcoal ash on it has been cleaned, there are still some residues, but it adds a kind of original fragrance to it.

Pale golden case, exudes an aroma of original flavor.

After Chen Mo tore off a piece, he entered his mouth with the charred outside and tender inside. It not only absorbed the greasy in his mouth, but also let the aroma in it linger endlessly between his lips and teeth.

"Haha, this is what our man who is licking blood should eat!"

An adventurer ate the five-flavored baked naan, and laughed heartily, as if after eating this delicious bite, he forgot all his troubles.
