Lord of War

For the next few days, Sean walked along the sidelines of the Principality of North Lens, except for basic purchases, he would not enter villages and towns at will. But what made Sean very depressed was that the situation along the way was so peaceful that he didn't even encounter a single wild beast, let alone a magical beast.

And in the absence of a fight, Xiao En found that, let alone absorbing the power of the void, it was impossible for his body to return to the lower silver. This greatly slowed down the progress of his strength growth, which was not the result Sean wanted, especially after discovering how to quickly recover his strength, Sean really didn't want to continue such inefficient growth .

After a short period of thought, Sean decided to enter the Principality of North Lens.

Because he found that continuing to advance along the border like this is not an option. After all, the Northern Solitary Tower is located further north of the Northern Principality Federation. arrival.

Lahn City is a border city in the Principality of North Lens selected by Sean.

The city was originally established as a fortress, but with the establishment of the Northern Principality Federation, it ushered in a relatively long period of peace. During this period of peace, the fortress became a symbol of friendship for the Allies in the Principality of Nord-Lens, and the dismantling of the related defenses was ordered. It was not until later that conflicts and frictions among the principalities resurfaced, and this fortress, which had been closed for decades, was reopened. However, at this time, a certain degree of prosperity and commerce and plasticity had developed in the fortress, so this A fortress fortress was converted into a fortress city.

This is the Principality of North Lens, a large city second only to the capital in terms of defense strength and city size, and is directly governed by the Grand Duke of North Lens.

The North Wind Legion stationed here is the most elite legion in the Principality of North Lance, and it is also one of the ten sixth-level legions in the entire Northern Principality Federation. After all, the location of Lahn City is very important—it is almost like a protruding sharp horn, nailed like a nail next to a traffic artery, and this traffic artery is the commercial route of the four duchies. In other words, Lahn City will seriously threaten the border territories of the other three principalities during wartime.

When Sean entered the city, his first feeling was a very unique high-pressure rhythm atmosphere.

Pedestrians on the road are always in a hurry, and they will enter a store to buy things occasionally, but the 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 to checkout and leave. Occasionally they will stop to watch some other things, but the time will not be too long, because often once they show interest in something, a clerk will come forward to negotiate, and then the two sides will soon reach a consensus: or happy Pay the bill and pick up the goods, or shake your head helplessly and leave.

If that's the case, at most it's just a feeling of an extremely fast-paced life.

However, Sean also noticed that there were a lot of patrolling guards in the city, and almost on the same street, three to four patrolling guards in groups of five could be seen passing by. 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 patrol path lines.

The looks of the guards are always so serious and serious, and they are obviously very experienced veterans—not referring to their experience in combat, but their experience in handling public security.

Because Sean saw two groups of mercenaries clashing for some reason, after a group of patrolling guards stepped forward, it only took a few minutes to resolve the conflict: one of the group of mercenaries followed with their heads bowed. The guards left, while another group of mercenaries turned and left with a smug expression.

This kind of conflict between mercenaries would cause riots in other cities, even the Void City. It was the first time Sean had seen such a straightforward solution to the problem.

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

Soon, Sean discovered that whether they were mercenaries or adventurers, they were 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, and the things they carry in their hands are obviously to hand over the mission, while the other group will go to a certain place. A hotel or tavern, it seems that they are either preparing food for their companions, or preparing to rest; while the adventurers are unified into the adventurer guild, they will only take a short time to re-emerge, hugging each other in the adventurer guild Afterwards, they split up and left, apparently this time the mission was over.

The whole city looks like a sophisticated and highly efficient machine.

An extremely indifferent and purposeful atmosphere pervaded the city. And it seems that the people living here, whether they are civilians, merchants, guards, adventurers, or mercenaries, are obviously used to this sense of efficiency and extremely strong rhythm of coming and going.

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

"Rookie." Someone suddenly called out.

For some reason, Sean's intuition told him that the other party was calling him. Sean turned around quickly, and saw a thin old man crossing his legs quickly, running towards him at a unique frequency.

"Is there something wrong?" Sean felt a little weird in his heart, but he still asked politely.

"Hey, you're new here." The old man smiled, and let it go casually, "Don't ask me why I know, because there are always a few rookies who come here every month. They all come here to find some jobs I did it, but some people are lucky and can find it soon, and some people are unlucky and don’t know what they can do in the end.... Hey, wait for the bird, this message from me is free, the next message , you need to charge.

"Is this considered free news?" Sean was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course, I'm reminding you that Lahn is not a benevolent city." The old man nodded as a matter of course, "Mercenaries go to the Mercenary Guild, and adventurers go to the Adventurer's Guild. There will always be some The task was announced, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can always find a job... This is a bonus reminder for the free information just now."

Xiao En raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then, are you a guide, Your Excellency?"

"Smart boy." The old man nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, but from now on, I will charge for your questions. Depending on the importance of your question, the charging standard is also different. The starting price is one silver coin. The more detailed intelligence information, the more expensive the fee will be.”

Guide is a special part-time job belonging to the Thieves Guild. Usually, you must have a very detailed understanding of a city to be able to take the job. They don't need to be very powerful, but their intelligence gathering ability must be excellent, otherwise they are not qualified to serve as guides.

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

Because he noticed that there were actually quite a few guides around, but the moment the old man walked towards him, the other guides chose to give up.

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

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he began to look up and down Xiao En. The moment his eyes narrowed slightly, Xiao Si even felt a tingling sensation of scalp numbness, which was a dangerous signal. But Xiao En couldn't see how this old man could threaten him. He didn't have any aura of a warrior at all.

"It seems that I was wrong." The old man quickly calmed down, and Xiao En's sense of danger disappeared, "Half price, one gold coin for brief information, if you want a more detailed and comprehensive explanation, That's five gold pieces. Which would you like?"

"Five gold coins." Sean said, taking out five gold coins and handing them to the old man.

"The information and tasks I can provide you are far more, broader, and more detailed than those of the Mercenary Union and the Adventurer's Guild. I can even make relevant assessments for you, and then give you a task according to your ability. Quest recommendation, of course, this is an additional charge. But with my recommendation, I can guarantee that you will not encounter obstacles no matter what kind of mission you accept in this city, even if you are only at the Bronze level. Other than that In addition, I can also help you inquire about any information you want, and even give you a relevant analysis of the situation, of course, this also requires an additional fee. But at least I can guarantee that you will get what you pay for.”

"Hmm..." Xiao En showed a thoughtful expression. After touching his chin, he said again, "If I just asked for brief information, how would you answer?"

The old man looked at Sean with a half-smile.

Sean reluctantly took out a stack of gold coins and handed them to the old man.

"This is the second information, it's not half price." The old man laughed, so Sean could only take another gold coin and hand it to the old man, "I can provide you with relevant information and tasks, and even target your Ability to recommend tasks. Of course, I can also collect the information you want for you and analyze it for you. However, I will charge extra for these two services.”

"I see." After listening to the detailed comparison of the two types of information, Xiao En had a clear understanding in his heart, "With the detailed information, you will give additional key hints, but with the brief information, you will not give the most important information." content....Well, your fee is indeed worth the money."

"So, clever boy, what do you need from me, an old man?"

"I would like to know which faction the God of War Church in Lahn City is directly under the Knights of the God of War. (To be continued)
