return to edgar

After dawn, Link told Jafar that he was just going around the city, and then left the tavern with Yuan Ye.

"Why does that old man always follow you?" Yuan Ye didn't know Link's real occupation yet, and was full of curiosity about Jafar who was acting with Link.

Link has a headache about how to hide from Yuan Ye that he is the Son of Nature.If they act together, it will be exposed sooner or later, but he can’t say it yet. Both Su Wu and Gonzales warned Yuan Ye not to reveal his real occupation until he confirmed that Yuan Ye can be trusted. There are too many examples of being betrayed by friends. They don’t want Link to take risks. .

Observe for a while... Thinking of this, Link turned his head and made up a half-truth and half-false lie.

"My mainline npc."

"Cut~ why don't I have any helpers." Yuan Ye's unsuspecting attitude made Link feel guilty.

Compared with Hegu Town, which is full of idyllic atmosphere, Eden City is full of the atmosphere of a metropolis. There are many planned streets and shops, and the roads paved with bluestone bricks are neat and clean, which is very different from the messy Middle Ages seen in movies and TV shows.

"I thought this was just a small town." Yuan Ye muttered, it was too dark at night, and they couldn't see the whole city clearly.

"Based on the size of the land, there are only tens of thousands of people." Link replied nonchalantly.The urban population of ancient China was as large as that of Europe in the same period.

"It's already very big. Medieval towns usually only have a few thousand people." Yuan Ye touched his shriveled wallet and sighed, "It's really difficult for a hero without money."

"What are you looking at again?"

"I want to change this novice outfit, it's too rustic." The bard's smock is still fashionable in Dale Town, but it pales in comparison in the big city.

"Saobao, don't forget our identities, we are adventurers from the countryside." Feeling vaguely that there is someone behind him, Link reminded Yuan Ye that if you don't have money, don't spend it recklessly. His friendship sponsorship must be paid back .

As soon as he heard that he had to pay back the money, Yuan Ye immediately shut up, allowing Link to enjoy a rare moment of leisure.

The layout of Eden City is very simple, it is a concentric circle structure, the innermost is the lord's mansion.Outside is the Noble Quarter, containing important institutions such as the Town Hall Guard and the Temple.Next is the residential area of ​​ordinary people, mixed with various shops for daily needs, and the outermost area is the craftsman's area with strong smell and mess, such as butchers, laundry, and handicraft workshops.The mercenary garrison area outside the city wall is not so orderly. Although there are facilities such as public toilets, it obviously cannot handle hundreds of mercenaries, and defecation can be seen everywhere.There are also temporary stalls for traveling merchants in the tent area, because the protection fee is paid, which is usually guaranteed if there is no trouble.

The main reason why Eden is known as the city of mercenaries is that Nyala, to which it belongs, is the only administrative province among the twelve territories that has established diplomatic relations with Belfast, and it is the closest province to Longyan Castle. In a city, mercenaries from all over the continent gather every day. Whether they come here for fame or just want to make money, the only way to enter Longyan Fort is through Eden City.

After listening to Link's introduction from Dalu Zhi, Yuan Ye couldn't help asking: "Isn't Hegu Town closer to Longyan Fort than Aiden? Why don't you go from there?"

Without a map, Link could only compare the general direction with his hands.River Valley Town is to the west, and because of its proximity to the Pillar of the Earth, the orcs dare not attack from there.The Blade Mountain, which separates Kaogo from the interior, is steep and extremely difficult to climb. It is not suitable for a large number of marches. There is only a relatively gentle canyon in the area bordering Mount Horacio. In order to block the orcs, hundreds of years ago Humans built their military there to stop the attacks of orcs from time to time.Besides, Hegu Town is too small to accommodate and supply so many mercenaries.

"They are all humanoid creatures. Why do you want to block them in the wasteland? The inland is so big, why don't you have to fight every year if you give them a part." Yuan Ye has seen the panoramic map of the mainland in the adventurer's guild, and many areas are empty. people live.

"Do you know that there is a saying called non-my race?" Link really wanted to pry open Yuan Ye's brain to see what was inside, and what kind of university got mixed in.

"Dwarfs and gnomes are everywhere too."

"You should really read Edgar's ancient history carefully. Dwarves and dwarves escaped into the ground only after they lost the battle with humans for land." The smell of the mercenary garrison was too strong, Link covered his mouth and nose and looked around. Wait and see, is there really an adventurer's guild here?All tents, not a single decent building.

"Hey~ look there!"

Yuan Ye saw a crowded place with sharp eyes, and quickly patted Link on the shoulder. The two squeezed forward together. The boot-shaped adventurer's guild logo hung high on the top of a temporary tent. Books, cabinets, automatic writing The pen, the connection waiter is exactly the same as Hegu Town.

"Aren't they afraid of danger?" Most of the adventurers around were men. Link was surprised how the three of them went to Eden City. Even if the job was transferred, there was no saying that the three would be transferred together.

"That's an alchemy puppet, not a real person." Yuan Ye said in the tone of someone who had come here, "Don't look at their normal appearance..."

"Why don't you pay me!" A loud voice covered Yuan Ye's voice.

"You did not complete the task as entrusted." The oldest blond beauty replied with a smile.

"I have completed the task according to the regulations, give me the money soon." The quarrel with her was a burly soldier.

"You did not complete the task as entrusted." The union receptionist repeated verbatim.

"Believe it or not, I smashed your booth!" The soldier slammed the table, causing the liquid in the ink bottle to splash.As soon as the words were spoken, the red-haired Lolita slapped her flying, and the crowd retreated suddenly, and the soldier fell directly to the ground, making the sound of fractures.

"Look, another idiot." Yuan Ye whistled, "I thought they were real people when I first came here."

dummy?Link squinted his eyes and saw that the skin and eyes were almost the same as real people. Can alchemy do this?

"Alchemy is not just about rubbing potions, I will also..." Yuan Ye was suddenly kicked, and fell to the ground unsteadily.

"Who is it?" Yuan Ye turned his head full of anger, seeing the person who kicked him, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"You, why are you here?"

The one who attacked Yuan Ye was a thin young man, not tall, with slanted eyebrows and straight eyes.

"Block me quickly." Yuan Ye yelled at Link.

"Who is he?"

"It's an enemy. We had a festival in Hegu Town. I didn't expect him to come here."

player?

"Why, you want to cover up a bastard who is taking advantage of the fire?" Facing Link's scrutiny, the man asked with an unkind expression.

Link squinted at Yuan Ye, and he quickly explained.

"Whoever completes the task issued by the union first counts. I just took the task item first while he was clearing the monsters."

That's all... The corner of Link's mouth twitched, now the retribution is coming, and it will make you cheap.

Seeing that someone was about to fight, the mercenaries surrounded the three of them, booing one after another.

"Hey~ help me, I really didn't mean it, I just got used to it in the previous games." Because he didn't like fighting, Yuan Ye's skills were mostly support-type chanting, and all melee combat was sloppy.

"Apologize to him." If possible, Link hoped to calm down.It is not a good thing for players to hold grudges against each other, otherwise it will cause death.

"Apologizing is useful, why do you need the police?" The man made it clear that he did not accept it, and kicked Yuan Ye.

Relying on the agility attached to his profession to avoid a kick to the face, Yuan Ye was knocked down by the punch that followed, and he shouted, holding his bleeding nose, "Don't just stand and watch, save me quickly!" .”

Link let out a long sigh, what a worry-free guy.He stepped forward to stop the man who was about to make up for a few feet.

"You want to help him get ahead?"

"No way, who made him my brother-in-law-to-be?"

With a cold snort, the man threw a few quick punches at Link, with a bit of a boxing stance.

Link blocked the attack faster than his opponent and kicked him in the calf. The short and thin man who took a few steps back stood still and carefully looked at Link with his eyes.

With a long sword across his waist and casual clothes, he looks like a junior warrior, but he is as fast as an assassin?

He reached out and pulled out a necklace from his clothes, and the whole person suddenly disappeared.The crowd of onlookers dispersed immediately, this is the assassin's signature secret technique, no one wants to lose their life just because of watching the excitement.

Because of the experience of cooperating with the night elves, Link knew that the other party was lurking in the shadows, so he quickly cast the tree skin technique on himself.Almost at the same time, the shadow under his feet flickered, and the man suddenly appeared, fisting at Link's lower back.

Once the blow was successful, the man felt as if he had been hit on a tree trunk, rough and hard.Link shook his hand back, grasped the opponent firmly, and was about to speak, when the crowd of onlookers suddenly became commotion.

"The guard is here!"

The people on the inner and outer floors dispersed with a whoosh.

"Run!" Link pulled Yuan Ye up to join the scattered crowd.They were only suspected by the security team yesterday of being related to the sneak attack by the orcs. If they were caught causing trouble, they would have to spend a few days in jail.

He ran near the city gate and stopped after confirming that the guards hadn't chased Link. He suddenly found that the short and thin man who had fought just now was beside him, only a few meters away.The two looked at each other, neither of them intending to continue.

In order to resolve the unhappiness, Link said that buying him a drink would be an apology to Yuan Ye.

There is no deep hatred between the players, and there is no need to be unhappy over such a small matter.The man was also straightforward, seeing that Link was willing to take the initiative to fight, he followed him to the Golden Rose Tavern.

After a few glasses of beer, the man took the initiative to speak. His surname was Pan, so he took a homophonic name, Pan En, and his occupation was an assassin.I entered Edgar two months earlier than Yuan Ye. I accidentally discovered the game on the Internet. I was attracted by a title I had never experienced before. I didn't expect it to be a real-life rpg.

The straightforward character won Link's favor almost immediately.He knew that his physical skills were mediocre, and he could suppress the opponent only with the blessing of divine skills. This conflict made Link even more determined to practice his secondary talent.

Paine sympathized with Link's experience, and at the same time, he was very envious of Link's upgrade to veteran in a month.Because of the relationship between appearance and occupation, few people are willing to team up with him, and many union tasks cannot be completed by one person alone. It has been almost half a year and he is still lv4, which can be called slow speed.

He and Link didn't know each other, and they were soldiers by profession. Paine proposed to form a team, fearing that Link wouldn't agree. He also explained that he only went together for adventures in dungeons or union tasks that he couldn't complete alone, and usually acted independently.

When he came to a strange space to experience a real-life rpg, he could only rely on himself if he was not accepted. Link could feel it, and his heart moved.Pan En is a straight person, he can observe for a period of time, and if he is not bad, he can dump Yuan Ye to him.

Paine was just thinking of giving it a try, but he didn't expect Link to agree, which made him a little overjoyed.Immediately, we discussed the types of previous missions. Because we are assassins, we rely more on the environment when we fight. We hope that we can take on some missions in dark areas as much as possible. This is exactly what Link wants. He only has experience in killing demons and undead. The two hit it off. , Immediately finalized the first cooperation-to help businessman Edward go to the family cemetery to retrieve the necklace buried with his mother.

Yuan Ye groaned at the side. He hadn't walked out of the shadow brought by the Necromancer yet. He had no choice but to resist, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to gain experience, so he could only follow them to the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
