Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji thought about it for a while. He had no personal connections with the town guards, and he didn't know any of the city gate guards. If you want to ask someone for information, whether the guards will pay attention to him is still a question. You have to find a way to talk to them.

Zhao Ji remembered that Jamura seemed to know the captain of the city gate guard, and seemed to be a knight, but Zhao Ji didn't want to trouble Jamura. He already owed Jamura a lot of favors, and even though he used his storytelling as a deal to offset the favors, Zhao Ji knew that the weight of these things was different.

If it is not enough to ask Jamura for help, then you have to think of other ways. Can you invite the guards to drink to get information? The guards must have higher income than Zhao Ji. The drinks that the guards drink are not cheap, right? Zhao Ji calculated in his heart that there are usually 4 guards on duty at the gate of the city. Where do they usually go to drink? It must not be the tavern that Zhao Jizhi usually goes to. The one at the gate of the city seems to be earning a guard's income, too expensive.

Zhao Ji circled around the stone chairs in the park, thinking as he walked.

Which other tavern is close to the gate of the city? It should be not far from the station at the gate of the city. The consumption should not be too high, and the level should not be too poor. Zhao Ji thought for a long time, but he didn't think of which tavern it was. Although he hasn't been in this town for a long time, he has probably visited all the places he can go in the town, and there is no tavern he is looking for. Moreover, Zhao Ji shook his purse, and the limited sound of coins colliding inside reminded him that he had no money left, and he couldn't afford good wine.

"Grass. I'm really poor." This made Zhao Ji very discouraged. He couldn't deal with the city gate guards in a curve to save the country and get information about the slime monster. He could only boldly ask directly. The probability will ignore him, and will only treat him as trouble.

----------------------------

After walking for a while, walking down the main road, Zhao Ji soon arrived at the gate of the city. At this time, it was just after noon, and there was no one in the small square at the gate of the city, and the sun above was scorchingly releasing the last strength of autumn. Compared with the scorching sun in summer, the sunshine in autumn is undoubtedly much subtler, but its power is not less powerful.

The guards of the city gate are hiding in the shade of the city gate to avoid the sun. Although the set of strong leather armor is mighty, it is still difficult for the cooked solid leather to stick to the skin. The guards hang their helmets on their waists. From time to time, take a sip of the water bottle that comes with you to replenish the lost water.

Zhao Ji strolled to the doorway, and several guards stared at him directly. Zhao Ji raised a hand, greeted awkwardly, and said hello: "Good afternoon, everyone.". Several other guards ignored him, but turned their heads. A middle-aged guard with a big sword on his back greeted Zhao Ji, looked at Zhao Ji and said to him: "Good afternoon, I saw you out once in the morning. You are in the city, and you are still going out in the afternoon. What kind of young man are you?"

"Well, I usually do odd jobs. I just arrived in Kendall City not long ago, and I live in the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce. Now I'm hunting slime monsters." Zhao Ji didn't know how to answer, so he simply said a few words. He was cramped, mainly because the opponent's two-handed sword and the long dagger with a sheath around his waist gave him a lot of pressure. The pressure generated by the company's manpower interview in the previous life was really incomparable.

"Oh, hunting slime monsters, tsk tsk tsk, this job is not easy to do." The middle-aged guard expressed his opinion, and several other guards also came to their spirits, and they also expressed their views on this: "Come from other places, This year the slime monster hunting is up to you." "The key to this job is to block your nose." "Really, you are so experienced, you were the one who did those jobs last year, eh-- -, you stay away from me, it's smelly."

As soon as Zhao Ji heard it, there were indeed guards who had dealt with the slime monster. After hearing what he said, they had to plug their noses to hunt. Zhao Ji quickly recorded this information on paper. The middle-aged guard saw that Zhao Ji took out the paper and recorded something on it,

He leaned over to take a look. It was a foreign language he had never seen before. He asked Zhao Ji, "I haven't asked your name yet, young man. What's your name?"

Zhao Ji quickly replied: "Joe Keel, sir. My name is Joe Keel, and I'm from a foreign country."

"Oh, you are going out of the city now." The middle-aged guard asked.

"Yes, I planned to hunt the slime monster in the morning, but I couldn't find it. I'll go and see if I can find it in the afternoon. By the way, I want to come to you to find out if there is any information on how to deal with the slime monster. If there is, Can you tell me about it. Please.” Zhao Ji found that these guards were pretty easy to talk to, maybe because they had never communicated with them when they met them before, and they all had a straight face and put on airs of guards. with. And they seem to have misunderstood something, Zhao Ji didn't quite know what it was, so he could only follow along.

"Keil, please don't have to, it's just that the sun is so hot, everyone is very thirsty, it would be nice to have some cold drinks to remove heat when talking. Of course, we can't drink when we are on duty, but in the tavern opposite The iced mint water seems to be able to remove everyone's heat?" The middle-aged guard fanned the air with his hands, looked at his fellow guards, and the other guards nodded with a smile.

"Um, ok, ok. I understand, the weather is too hot, it's hard to stand here. I'll find some iced mint water for everyone, please teach me some methods of hunting slime monsters later." "Zhao Ji understood what the other party meant, and it would be best to complete intelligence collection through transactions, but I don't know if his wallet can hold it.

Please, I hope that the iced mint water they mentioned will not be too expensive, otherwise the input and output will not be worthwhile and it will be a loss.
