Chapter 307 Nostalgia

After talking with Dean Levins and Great Sword Master Crude to send someone to the Northland to investigate the matter, he talked about the current situation of the business alliance for a long time, and then Lorist left. Then he went around in the college area and found that, as the old dean said, more than half of the college had been closed, only a few guards were left. Even the formerly crowded food street in the College District is now deserted, and most of the closed doors of the shops are marked with the words sublease or sale...

Is this a butterfly effect? Lorist felt his chin and thought. Those two letters about glass recipes and production processes are like butterfly wings. The situation in the entire Gailint subcontinent has undergone such a big change, and the business alliance has actually been on the mainland. The position of the largest country is even more unexpected. However, the glamorous face of this largest country now seems to be uncomfortable.

For Lorist, perhaps such a result is the most ideal, giving him a chance to win the top eight Dawn Academy in Galintia. This is not only the memory and nostalgia of his youth, but more importantly, if Chenxi Academy is opened in the North, it will greatly improve the quality of the common people in the family territory and even the entire North. Lorester is already paying great attention to the basic education of the territory. Basic knowledge education schools have been opened in every town in the territory. If Chenxi College moves northward, it will fill the gap of comprehensive higher education in the family territory.

The more Lorist thought about it, the more excited he became, determined to achieve the goal of moving northward to run the school of Chenxi Academy. Whether it was land or funds, the family must fully support. Although there is a thriving scene in the territory, it is still in the initial stage of accumulation, and there is a shortage of high-quality talents. Recalling that in the past few years, he could be appointed as a statistical official in the territory as long as he knew how to count and literate, Lorist was very helpless.

After Lorist recovered his senses, he realized that he had been walking wildly and unconsciously for most of the day. There was something familiar here. Hmm, when I think about it, two streets are the mercenary union. When I was still in Chenxi Academy, I used to go to the mercenary union from this road to pick up tasks. This is also a nostalgia.

The mercenary union was also very deserted, and Lorist looked at it, and there was no old clerk he knew. A round-faced young female clerk came over very graciously and asked Lorist what she was doing. This reminded Lorist of the situation that the clerk ignored the tasks when handing over tasks. However, in the past, the mercenary hall was crowded with people, and the voices were too small to hear. Now there are only two or three kittens in the whole hall, and it is clear why these clerks are so friendly.

Lorist waved his hand, went to the lobby bar and ordered a glass of ale, and then sat there slowly tasting. In the past, he would always have a glass of ale with his friends and listen to the experiences or bragging stories of other mercenaries after completing the task. At that time, every seat in the bar was full of mercenaries. Even though the ale here was twice as expensive as outside, it was still very popular with mercenaries who had completed their tasks. And now, there are only a dozen tables with Lorister sitting and drinking ale slowly.

The round-faced young female clerk has been staring at Loriste closely. Perhaps Loriste’s casual and high-quality long-sleeved shirt gave her the illusion, making her think Loriste might be here. The mercenary union issued the task. After all, those rude mercenaries who can embroider platinum lace on the collar and sleeves of a single shirt cannot be those rude mercenaries. The price of this single shirt is enough for them to work hard for a month.

Lorist held a cup towards her and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so embarrassed to stare at me so much. Should I buy you a drink?"

The young female clerk's round face flushed instantly, and she turned her head and pretended not to hear Lorist making fun of her.

It's better now. If anyone was rude or molested to those female clerks, the aggressive guards of the mercenary union would be unceremoniously full of old punches. At that time, Lorist was seen in the mercenary hall. In order to fight for the jealousy, the group fight or the bloodshed.

A middle-aged mercenary in his forties or fifties entered the mercenary hall cursingly, found a window for the task, and then walked out cursingly with a few silver coins in his hand.

"Hey, Brother Goode, where are you in such a hurry? Sit down and I'll buy you a drink." Lorist smiled and said hello. He knows this middle-aged mercenary, the second silver star, because of an adventure. He suffered a serious injury. Although healed it later, he injured his body due to the delay of too long. Dou Qi could no longer advance to the ranks, so he could only fight in the middle and lower level mercenaries. When Lorist was making backpacks, the Goode brother was the first to take care of his business. He was a very good person and he was faithful. Later, he worked with Fatty Shi and Lorist on several missions and taught Lorist many tips on life for mercenaries.

The middle-aged mercenary stopped, turned to look at Lorist, froze for a moment and didn't recognize it: "You are..."

"Hehe, Brother Goode, forget me? I'm Lorist, little Locke."

"Aha, it's you, Brother Locke." The middle-aged mercenary was overjoyed: "It's been a long time. It's almost ten years. I really didn't expect to see you here again. You became Morente. A legend in the city, I later heard that you went back to inherit the family domain and the title. I thought I would never see you again. I didn’t expect that we would meet again one day."

Lorist stood up, embraced the middle-aged mercenary enthusiastically, and ordered him a glass of ale.

The middle-aged mercenary picked up the cup and gurgled half of it and poured it, wiped his mouth and said: "It's still a familiar taste, alas, it's a pity that I haven't had a drink here for more than half a year."

Lorist smiled and said: "Don't worry, some of you want to drink, boss, have two more glasses. Today I have a treat, Brother Goode, you can drink slowly."

"Thanks, Brother Locke, you are still so bold." The middle-aged mercenary was not polite, and took the wine glass and finished it in one sigh. Lorist pushed the new ale in front of him.

"By the way, Brother Locke, why are you here today? Is there something to ask a mercenary for help or to release a mission here?" the middle-aged mercenary asked.

Lorist shook his head: "It's okay. It's just that I have returned to Morient these days. I remembered the past, and I also remembered that I still had a mercenary badge here, so I came to sit down here and want to taste it again. The ale. It’s just that I didn’t expect this place to become so deserted, completely different from the crowded hall in my impression. The only luck is that I can still meet Brother Goode, this trip is not in vain."

"Oh..." Good took a few sips and sighed: "Brother, you and I are lucky. You can still see this mercenary union this time. It will be gone by the end of the year. There is no mercenary union anymore. I was lucky that I could see you again when I came to hand in the task today, and asked you to buy me a few drinks...

Now mercenaries have no way out in the business alliance. Goode burped, "Brother, you must have never thought that the mercenaries will be extinct in the business alliance in the future, uh, it is not extinct, but Morient City is no longer a place for mercenaries, here No task, even if there is a task, I can't do it. However, the Chickadee Chamber of Commerce established a mercenary union at the entrance of the underground cave in the famous and dangerous place in the former Ulu Baha Principality, in their chamber of commerce territory, to gather mercenaries to explore the underground cave. I heard that the reward is good and there is a lot of freedom. The mercenaries have moved there. "

"En? The mercenary union is gone? What does this mean, Brother Goode, isn't the business alliance a country of mercenaries? What happened to so many mercenary groups and nearly 10,000 registered mercenaries?" Lorist was curious. Asked.

"Nation of mercenaries? Haha, what mercenary group is there, everyone has gone on their own. All the mercenaries have gone to the nobles. Do you know, Brother Locke, the top ten mercenary group boss here? They are all mixed up as a knight, the youngest is also a viscount, and the rest are all earls. The fourth-ranked Dragon Claw Mercenary Group's Resimba boss gave himself the title of Grand Duke, which is regarded as stepping on the dog*shit. There are no mercenary groups, they are all disbanded, the brothers of the boss became noblemen have become knights, the worst is also mixed with the work of a garrison...

Did you know that this time the business alliance entrusted four hundred and fifty-one knighthoods in one go. It was a bit capable of mixing up a fief, and the rest were also recruited by those nobles as knights. Now there are no mercenaries. Those who are still messing around here are just like hundreds of incompetents like us. We don’t want to serve others in a low voice. We only imagine that we can earn money to support our family by our own efforts as before. But now you see, I ran halfway. I only earned one big silver coin and three small silver coins every month. How can this little money support the family at the current market price..." Goode grumbled.

"No, so many titles?" Lorester looked a little dumbfounded: "But no one is a mercenary, isn't there no one to grab the task, shouldn't it be a good thing?"

"Good thing about farts!" Goode took a sip: "In the past, Zhoubian countries and chambers of commerce in the business alliance would release tasks. There are many mercenaries and many tasks. Everyone has food. Now Zhoubian countries cut off. After the trade route, even our mercenaries were denied access for missions, so we had to cross the border secretly. It is still a trivial matter to be caught with a whip. The worst thing is that you go to investigate the military situation and hang you without any explanation. ...

This is not a big deal, and the big deal is that we won't take on tasks from other countries. But the problem is that the business alliance has a large territory but there are not so many tasks. Except for the Mana Hill Plain, everything else is owned by the owner. If they have something to do with their own family, they will use their own family to solve the problem. They will no longer post tasks here. What's even more exaggerated is that our mercenaries have to pay tolls when they pass through their territories on missions. If you don't pay, you won't be allowed to pass..."

Goode picked up the wine glass and went down again, then wiped his mouth and pointed to the mercenary union and said, "Brother, do you remember the boss of the mercenary union and that **** Schruck? This miser also did this time. A viscount, the territory is in the original Duchy of Delia,

The mission I took this time happened to pass through this bastard’s territory. I shot a rabbit in the wild and roasted it as before. Then the **** ordered his guards to grab me and said that the rabbit I ate was sleeping on firewood. The place belonged to his territory, and he asked me to compensate for these expenses, and knocked two big silver coins from me. If it weren’t for me to say that I was taking over the quest from his mercenary union, this **** would still want to parade me..."

Well, some merchants have no bottom line than the nobles. No matter how harsh the nobles are to the leaders, they have to worry about reputation, and those merchants can see nothing but gold coins. Especially when those merchants transferred their business savvy to his leaders, Lorist wondered whether those leaders would only have a garment that covered the body, but he could do nothing, at most for these leaders. Min mourned for three seconds...

"Then what are you going to do in the future?" Lorist asked. He knew that Goode had already gotten a family. There were two sons and one daughter. Goode's child was when he left Morient City. Only four or five years old, the youngest daughter was born, now the oldest is only fourteen or five years old, it is the most difficult time.

Goode opened his confused eyes and said painfully: "I don't know, the mercenary road will not work. Maybe I will go to the nursing home for those chambers of commerce, as long as the salary is enough to support my family..."

Lorester stood up and took out a gold dollar coupon and stuffed it into Goode's pocket, who was drunk by the alcohol. He was already drinking the seventh cup of ale, and he was half drunk and half awake.

"I gave your child a gift and put it in your pocket. Brother Goode, please go back and see. If you can't stay in Morente in the future, come to the North to find me. You just have to go to the Peterson Chamber of Commerce and say It’s my friends and they will send your family to my territory."

Then Lorist called a carriage to help Goode up. He still remembered where Goode lived. After telling the driver the address and paying the fare, Goode's family will take care of it when he arrives.

After returning to the mercenary union, Lorist said to the round-faced young female clerk: "Call the person in charge here, I want to buy the **** vindictive book."

This can be regarded as a memorial for the ten years and mercenary career spent in Morient City. Lorester mistakenly believed that his family history of fighting qi was of fire attribute. When he cut off the news from the family and couldn’t get the follow-up fighting qi cheats and couldn’t be promoted to the silver rank, he paid a lot of money to buy several high-level fire attributes on the market. The fighting qi cheats, it turns out that they are completely different from the family biography, and they bought high-level fighting qi cheats with other attributes, but they still can't cultivate. In the end, he had no choice but to practice the Jin Shui Jue from the previous family, and he won the legendary title of Black Iron Locke and Silver Invincible.

This blood-burning fighting spirit is the treasure of the mercenary union's town hall. It is priced at 15,000 gold ford, which is the sky-high price of Morente. It's not that Lorester never thought about buying this blood-attributed vindictive cheat, but he felt that the price was too high back then, and secondly, he didn't expect that his family's blood-attributed vindictive qi was also passed down, so he missed it. Now think about it, if I gritted my teeth and pooled money to buy this blood-burning fighting spirit, then I might be promoted to the Silver Rank, so I wouldn't go to practice the Jin Shui Jue handed down from the past.

Perhaps Lorist will take another path from now on, and he will no longer be able to kill the enemy by crossing the ranks. He will only follow the path of the silver rank and the golden rank honestly. Maybe he can't become a great swordsman by now. , Then the Norton family may have disappeared a long time ago, instead of rising and prospering like it is now...

Now Lorister wanted to buy this blood-burning vindictiveness because of this kind of souvenir feelings. With gold coupons worth 30,000 gold ford, he didn't care about the high price, so he simply bought the bill. The head of the mercenary union wanted to recommend a few high-level vindictive cheats with other attributes, but Lorist refused. Now the family has collected nearly a hundred high-level fighting qi cheats with various attributes. It is enough to reward the family knights, especially after the destruction of the Kingdom of Hanyabada. There are only forty or fifty high-level fighting qi cheats seized. I bought a duplicate. But this Burning Blood Fight Qi is different. This is the second blood attribute Fight Qi besides the Scarlet Blood Fight Qi handed down in the family. It can also be used as a reference for the children in the future.

After leaving the mercenary union, Lorist called a carriage and went to the Phoenix District of East City. Looking at the dark red three-story four-story spire loft, Lorist once again remembered the naked* bare feet in the moonlight. The dancing girl ~www.readwn.com~ is the one who let herself taste the beauty of first love, and it is she who let herself become a man from a boy in this life. She was the same, who made herself feel desperate and heart-piercing pain, and she was so heartbroken when she saw her leaving with another man...

Facing this old house full of tenants, Lorester was surprised to find that his heart was still like water. There was no more painful throbbing and sadness of the past, only a faint longing lingering. In my heart, the girl who was once the most important in her life, is she okay and how is her life?

Time goes by and things are different. These are just the fond memories that Lorester has deposited in the deepest part of his heart. Even the pain is worth remembering. There is no longer the elf-like girl and her two naughty and lively maids here. Lorist finally took a deep look at the dark red three-story four-story spire attic, exhaled, and turned to Walk outside the alley.

The fruit shop at the entrance of the alley was gone. It was replaced by a grocery store, but the owner was still the rap-uncle Giro. I haven’t seen him for ten years. Uncle Giro’s hair is all white. It can be seen that his life is also good. not very good.

Uncle Giro was very surprised when he recognized Loriste. He kept telling Lorist about the changes in personnel in the neighborhood. Loriste used to buy fruit candy for the little girl named Lonnie. Her grandmother was there. She passed away when she was ten years old. She followed her father and left here. I heard that her father was doing well, and now she has become a family knight of a certain grand duke, etc...

Lorist listened to Uncle Giro's nagging for nearly an hour, and finally left with a gold coupon.

"The coachman, go to the Red Crow Tavern." Lorister ordered.
