Lord of War

  In the next few days, Sean was advancing along the sideline of the Duchy of North Rance. Apart from basic purchases, he would not enter villages and towns at will. But what made Sean feel very depressed was that the situation on the road was so calm and calm that he didn't even encounter a beast, let alone the likes of Warcraft.

  In the absence of fighting, Xiao En found that, let alone absorbing the power of the void, it was impossible for his body to return to the lower silver position. This greatly slowed down the progress of his strength growth. This was not the result that Sean wanted, especially after discovering how to quickly restore his strength, Sean really did not want to continue such inefficient growth. .

  After a short period of thinking, Sean decided to enter the Duchy of Northern Lance.

Because he found that it’s no way to continue along the border like this. After all, the northern solitary tower is located further north of the Northern Principality Federation. If he does not use the teleportation magic circle, let alone four months, even a year may not be possible. arrival.

  Lahn City is a border city in the Duchy of Northern Rance, selected by Sean.

  This city was originally established as a fortress, but with the establishment of the Northern Duchy Federation, a relatively long period of peace has ushered in. During this time of peace, the fortress of the fortress became a symbol of the Duchy of Northern Lance to express its friendship with the allies, so it ordered the demolition of related defense facilities. It was not until later that conflicts and frictions between the principalities reappeared, and the fortress fortress that had been closed for decades was reopened, but at this time a certain degree of prosperity and commerciality and plasticity have developed in the fortress. Therefore, this A fortress fortress was converted into a fortress city.

  This is the Principality of Northern Lance. Its defense strength and city scale are second only to the large cities under the royal capital, and it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Grand Duke of Northern Lance.

  The Northern Wind Corps stationed here is the most elite regiment in the Duchy of Northern Lance, and it is also one of the ten sixth-level regiments in the entire Commonwealth of Northern Duchy. After all, the location of Larne City is very important-it is almost like a protruding sharp one horn, nailed like a nail next to a traffic arteries. And this main road of communication is the only way for the trade routes of the four principalities. In other words, the city of Larn will seriously threaten the border territories of the other three principalities during the war.

  When Sean entered the city, the first feeling he brought to him was a very unique atmosphere of high pressure rhythm.

  Pedestrians on the road are always in a hurry, and they sometimes enter a store to purchase things. But time will not stay for too long. Because they can always know what they want to buy at the first time, and then quickly complete the steps of checkout and leave. Sometimes they will stop and watch some other things, but the time will not be too long, because once they show interest in something, the clerk will come forward to negotiate, and then the two sides will quickly reach a consensus: or happy Paying the bills and picking up the goods, or reluctantly shook his head and left.

  If only this is the case. At best, it is just a feeling of a very fast pace of life.

  But Sean still noticed. There are so many patrol guards in the city, and three to four groups of five-man patrol guards can be seen crossing almost on the same street. These guards all have their own patrol path lines, and these patrol path lines may cross each other, but because of the extremely strong time difference, these patrol guards will never stop due to the overlap of the patrol path lines.

The look of the guards is always so serious and serious, and they are obviously very experienced veterans-not referring to their experience in combat, but to the experience of dealing with law and order. Because Sean saw two groups of mercenaries clashed for some reason, a team of patrolling guards stepped forward. It only took a few minutes to resolve this contradiction: one group of mercenaries followed the guards with their heads drooping, while the other group of mercenaries turned and left with a complacent expression.

  This kind of conflict between mercenaries. If you change to another city, even the Void City will cause a riot. If you want to solve the problem so simply and neatly, it is the first time that Xiao En has seen it.

  And this also made Sean pay more attention to the mercenaries and adventurers entering the city.

   Then soon, Sean discovered that whether they are mercenaries or adventurers, they are actually no different from the residents of this city. Their destination after entering the city is very clear: the mercenaries will always be divided into two groups, one group will go to the mercenary guild, seeing what they are carrying is obviously to hand over the task, and the other group will go to a certain A hotel or tavern seems to be either preparing food for their companions or preparing to rest; while adventurers enter the adventurers’ guild together. They will come out again in a short time and hug each other in the adventurers’ guild. After that, they split up and left, obviously this time the mission has ended.

  The whole city looks like a sophisticated and efficient machine.

  A breath of extreme indifference and strong purpose permeates this city. And it seems that the people living here, whether they are civilians, merchants, guards, adventurers, mercenaries, are obviously used to this kind of efficiency and extremely strong sense of rhythm.

   Standing at the gate of the city like Xiao En, and observing the pedestrians in the entire city for more than half an hour, it is unique.

   "Rookie." Someone shouted suddenly.

  Don’t know why, Sean’s instinct told him that the other party was calling him. So Sean quickly turned around and saw a thin old man with his legs crossing quickly, running towards him at a unique frequency.

   "Is there something?" Sean felt a little weird, but he asked politely.

"Hey, newcomer." The old man smiled, and gave it up casually. "Don't ask why I know, because there are always a few rookies coming here every month. They all come here to find some work. Yes, but some people are lucky and can be found soon, and some people are unlucky and don’t know what they can do in the end.... Hey, rookie, this news is free for me, the next news, You need to charge."

   "This is also free news?" Sean was a little bit dumbfounded.

   "Of course, I am reminding you that Larne is not a charity city." The old man nodded naturally. "The mercenaries go to the mercenary guild, and the adventurers go to the adventurers guild. There will always be some tasks issued there. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always find work.... This is the bonus reminder of the free information just now. ."

  Sean raised his eyebrows and smiled: "So to speak. Your Excellency, are you a guide?"

   "Smart boy." The old man nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, but from now on, I will charge for your questions. Depending on the importance of your question, the charging standards are different. The starting price is one silver coin. The more detailed information is required, the more expensive the charge will be."

  Guide the way. It is a characteristic part-time job belonging to the Thieves Guild. Usually you need to have a very detailed understanding of a city to be able to serve. They don't need much fighting power, but the intelligence gathering ability must be extremely good, otherwise they are not qualified to serve as guides.

  Sean knew that the thin old man in front of him was probably not a simple person.

  Because he noticed that there were actually many guides around, but when the old man walked towards him, the other guides chose to give up.

   "I want to know the difference in information that you and the Adventurer's Guild and Mercenary Guild can provide." Sean thought for a while, and then asked the first question. "If I remember correctly, the rule of the guide is half price for the first intelligence."

  The old man froze for a moment. Then he started to look up and down at Sean. The moment his eyes narrowed slightly, Sean even had a tingling sensation on his scalp, which was a danger signal. However, Xiao En couldn't tell, where the old man could threaten him, he didn't have any martial arts aura at all.

"It seems that I have gone away." The old man quickly reduced his expression, and the sense of danger in Sean disappeared. "Half price, simple information charges a gold coin, if you want a more detailed and comprehensive explanation, Those are five gold coins. Which do you want?"

   "Five gold coins." Sean said, and at the same time took out five gold coins and handed them to the old man.

"The information and tasks I can provide you are far more, broader, and more detailed than the mercenary guilds and adventurers’ guilds. I can even conduct relevant assessments for you, and then give you them based on your abilities. Task recommendation, of course, this is an additional charge. But with my recommendation, I can guarantee that no matter what kind of task you accept in this city, you will not encounter obstacles, even if you are only the strength of the Bronze Realm. Other than that In addition, I can also help you find any information you want, and even analyze the relevant situation for you. Of course, this also requires an additional charge. But I can at least guarantee you value for money."

   "Hmm..." Shaun showed a pensive expression. After touching his chin, he said again, "If I just wanted brief information, how would you answer?"

  The old man looked at Sean with a smile.

  Sean reluctantly took out a gold coin and handed it to the old man.

"This is the second piece of information, it's not half price." The old man laughed and said, so Sean could only give one more gold coin to the old man, "I can provide you with relevant information and tasks, and can even target you. Ability to make task recommendations. Of course, I can also collect the information you want for you and analyze it for you. However, I have to charge extra for these two services."

"That's it." After Xiao En listened to the detailed comparison of the two types of information, he had a clear understanding in his heart. "For detailed information, you will give additional key tips, but for simple information, you will not say the most critical. The content...well, your charge is really worth the money."

  "So, smart boy, what help do you need from my old man?"

  "I want to know, which faction is the Ares Church in Larn City directly under the Ares Knights." (To be continued~^~)

  PS:  The doctor said that the hand was overworked by long-term high-pressure work. Think about it this month that I changed 35W words, which is almost equivalent to the amount of updates in the last half of the year. It is indeed a bit too high-intensity, ah ha ha... But rest assured, since the doctor has not blocked me, then there must be nothing wrong. Now the effect of heat treatment is not bad. I continue to update the codewords, but the fifth is more likely to be after twelve o'clock. Today is a bit procrastinated, sorry.
