Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the magician Lane biography!
In the evening, in the middle of Anceno village, under the big tree surrounded by two people, a blazing bonfire was lit, and the villagers happily ate roasted winter wolf meat and drank delicious ale. Talking about the news of cleaning the battlefield in the afternoon.
A young magician came to a remote village threatened by Warcraft alone, cast brilliant magic, eradicated the raging Warcraft, and rescued the suffering people. This legendary story that originally appeared only in the bard's beautiful singing melody, today happened to be around him, is there any better talk? Is there a story more appealing than this? Lion, who independently hunted 27 Winter Wolves, suddenly became the hero in the minds of the Anchorians.
Ryan did n’t drink anymore, but in the face of the enthusiastic villagers, he had to decline on the pretext of "I am a magician, so I must keep my spirit awake and not drink". In the face of the villagers of Anceno, Lane felt the joy of helping others for the first time. Although the mercenary task was not very rewarding this time, could it really help others, was it not the biggest reward for himself? Ryan at this time had already forgotten the slightly unhappy mood at the beginning.
Early the next morning, when the villagers of Anceno were still immersed in the joy of carnival last night, and were awake, Ryan had already embarked on a trip back to Takri town.
In the evening, Ryan returned to Takri town.
After entering the city, Lane went directly to the mercenary guild in the center of the town.
When Ryan showed the certificate issued by the village head of the village of Anceno that the raging World of Warcraft had been eradicated, soon, the staff of the Mercenary Guild completed the procedure for completing the task for Ryan, and gave Ryan a reward for this task 5 gold coins.
Ryan held these 5 gold coins firmly in his hand, not to mention how happy he was. This was his first real income, which was almost equivalent to the income of his father's hard hunting for three months. This mercenary made money. It's really fast. Lane decided to use the money to buy a few gifts for relatives and friends in his hometown after he arrived in the imperial capital.
After Ryan walked out of the mercenary guild, it was already dark outside. The town of Takri seemed deserted at night. There were almost no people walking on the street, and Lane found the small hotel where he stayed last time according to his memory. After enjoying the same big meal again, Ryan booked a room and sat down early.
The next day, after having breakfast, Lane went to the Mercenary Guild in Takri Town.
This time Ryan paid attention to the task, and those who said too vaguely would not answer. Originally, Ryan did not like the task of running errands, and now he is picky again. The result is that it took half a day to read all the tasks over and over several times, but did not find a task that suits his own wishes.
At noon, Ryan felt hungry alone and was ready to go out to get something to eat, but unexpectedly found that there was also a rest area in the mercenary guild. If he wanted to, he could spend some money to buy a glass of wine or a simple food. This is usually prepared for mercenaries who stay at the mercenary guild all day waiting for missions.
Ryan sat at the table and ate his toast. He reviewed his behavior of picky missions: "After all, there are only more than 10,000 residents in Takri Town, and there are no big villages nearby. What can be a task that is too satisfying for him? After all, he is a mercenary. Accumulate experience and find partners. Wait for a few more tasks, then leave for Alfa, which is the seventh largest city in the empire. With more people, there will be more things and there will be tasks that will keep you busy. . "
Thinking of this, Ryan took a sip of juice, and he made up his mind that he was going to take the task of catching young Warcraft seen in the morning after lunch. Although the rewarded white feather parrot is so easy to find from time to time, it is always rewarding to go back and forth in the depths of the Hengduan Mountains. Anyway, the businessman who issued the mission did not specify a specific time. This reward task can usually be received by multiple people at the same time. If someone fails to complete the task, there will be no punishment, and the businessman clearly stated that according to the number of payments, a white feather parrot 1 gold coin, the more the better.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties entered the mercenary guild. After he entered the door, he habitually swept his eyes across the hall of the mercenary guild. At this time, apart from a few staff members, only Ryan was eating lunch. The middle-aged man's eyes fell on Ryan, and he seemed a little curious about the young Ryan.
Ryan bowed his head to eat toast and felt the eyes of the middle-aged man, and looked up. He saw the middle-aged man wearing a black bowler hat, wearing a businessman's gown made of white linen clothes on the upper body, and a badge on his chest, which seemed to have a more complicated emblem on it, the lower body of the businessman. It is black linen pants.
From the merchant's entire appearance, Lane knew that he was a purchasing merchant from a certain chamber of commerce in a distant city. Because local businessmen will never wear dresses in such hot weather, only those well-trained businessmen from big chambers of commerce will wear this for image. However, Ryan himself did not learn badge science, unable to identify the content of the badge logo on the businessman's chest, and there is no way to guess the identity of the businessman.
The two looked at each other, and the businessman turned his gaze and walked to the place where the mercenary guild issued its mission.
The staff of the Mercenary Guild received the businessman and asked him what he needed to help.
The middle-aged businessman simply said that he purchased the goods in Takri town and was about to leave. I hope to hire a group of five or more mercenaries to myself.
However, the staff informed him that Takri could not find more than five mercenary regiments at the moment and asked him if he would issue a mission to wait for the arrival of the mercenary regiment.
The middle-aged businessman was obviously reluctant to wait. He would rather increase the commission for a little task. However, there was no mercenary group that met his requirements. The result was very disappointing for the middle-aged businessman. He shook his head and refused the staff. Proposal.
The staff also suggested that the businessmen separately hire people to protect themselves.
The businessman thought for a while and found that it was troublesome to hire separately, and what really happened. There was no slight cooperation between these temporarily assembled mercenaries. They were afraid of making things worse and rejected the staff ’s proposal. .
The staff shared their hands and said that they had no choice.
The middle-aged businessman thought about it, and although he did not report any hope, he asked again: "Is there a magician? Can I pay a high price."
The staff remembered that the certificate of completion of the mission issued by the village head of the village of Anceno, which Lane had given him last night, clearly stated that a great magician saved Anceno and a bunch of praise gods of light Nonsense. Although the staff didn't quite believe the words of Mayor Anceno, Ryan should have some magic, and he showed Ryan to the middle-aged businessman, saying, "Are you looking for a magician, he is."
The middle-aged businessman looked at the staff member's finger, but found the teenager he saw when he entered the door. He said doubtfully: "It's him? Is this too young?"
The staff heard the suspicion in the tone of the middle-aged businessman. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't lie to you. This teenager completed a task yesterday and hunted 27 winter wolves alone, proof of completion It is clearly written that he is a magician. "
The middle-aged businessman listened to the staff for a moment, and was able to hunt 27 winter wolves alone, which is at least the level of a junior magician. After thinking for a while, he decided to communicate with Ryan first.
When Ryan heard the words "Magic", he looked up at the middle-aged businessman. Seeing a trace of suspicion on his face, the middle-aged businessman walked towards himself. Ryan greeted him generously and said, "Sir, can I help you?"
The middle-aged businessman sat next to Ryan and said, "Hello, I am a businessman. My name is Flanner. Can I have a conversation with you?"
Lane said to Flanner: "You can call me Lane, don't use your respectful title, my age is much younger than you"
Flanner said: "Hehe, Ryan, I always respect the magician. Just now I heard from the staff that you once hunted 27 winter wolves by yourself, is that true?"
"Yes," Ryan nodded, affirming.
"I'm curious" Flanner asked "27 winter wolf is not so good to deal with, what magic do you use?"
Lion said: "Fireball."
"Fireball? That's level 3 magic!" Flanner shouted in surprise: "God, it's incredible."
Lane misunderstood Flanner ’s meaning, thinking that Flanner felt that fireball was not enough to eliminate the Winter Wolf, he added:
My teacher once said: 'A qualified magician does not look at how powerful he is, and It's up to him to see if he can use his power skillfully. '27 winter wolves really sound a lot, and I used to have a headache to think of a way to eliminate it, but I seized an opportunity that was just right, so I succeeded Now. "
Flanner also misunderstood Ryan's words. He thought Ryan was just an ordinary magic apprentice, and had learned a little magic knowledge. However, in the conversation with Lane, Flaner felt that Lane was approachable and polite to people, and should be well-educated, unlike many magicians who are arrogant towards people and even unwilling to ignore others. And from Ryan's words, Flanner heard that Ryan seemed to be a disciple of a certain master, and came out specially to practice. In general, during this kind of experience, disciples are strictly forbidden to say the name of the teacher, to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
For this reason, Flanner didn't ask about Ryan himself any more. He now has confidence in Ryan. A trial apprentice of a master of magic, at least three levels of magic, should be enough to protect his goods?
Flanner sent an invitation to Ryan and said, "Ryan, I am going to take my goods to Alfa City. Can you invite you to go with me?"
Lane knew that although Flanner said it was polite, what kind of peers actually hired him to protect him. Ryan thinks that he is going to go to Alfa anyway in a few days anyway. It is better to take this opportunity to do the calculation and get an extra commission.
Lane's hesitation allowed Flanner to confirm his thoughts. It seems that he really has his own trial tasks and he is not willing to help himself. However, Flanner found a magician very easily, and of course he would not give up easily. He continued to add weights, hoping to weigh the balance in Ryan's heart, "50 gold coins, Ryan. I will be responsible for some of the costs on the road, how? Think about it"
Hearing 50 gold coins, Ryan's brain was silly. Oh my god, this is too surprising. He quietly pinched his thigh, um, it hurts, not dreaming. Ryan nodded quickly and said, "Flanner, your enthusiasm makes me unable to refuse. I agree."
Hearing Ryan's consent, Flanner was very happy and called the staff to go through the relevant procedures. As long as it is safe to reach Alfa City, fifty golden coins will belong to Ryan.
After waiting for everything to complete, Lane followed Flaner out of the mercenary guild. Flanner's carriage stopped outside, and a driver was dozing while sitting in the driving position. This kind of carriage is longer than the ordinary carriage. The general carriage is the driving position in front, and the cargo compartment is behind. But this car immediately had an extra cabin between the car and the cargo compartment, barely for two people to sit in. Of course, the lengthened wagon becomes more bulky, so it is 2 horses instead of the ordinary horse.
Flanner woke the driver and signaled that he was ready to go. Then invite Ryan and himself to sit in the cabin to rest.
The carriage soon drove out of the town of Takri and ran towards Alfa City.
In order to make the connection between cities closer, the empire spent a lot of effort to build roads. A long time ago, it took a full ten days to travel from Alfa City to Takri Town. However, after constructing a post road for two carriages to walk side by side, the time on the road was greatly reduced. The carriage took only 4 days to arrive.
Flanner ’s carriage happily ran on the post. This was Ryan ’s first ride in the carriage. He looked out of the car window and saw the two rows of trees on the post. Surprised. The scenery along the way was also never seen by Ryan. He chatted with Flanner one by one, while enjoying the scenery along the way with relish.
Flanner told Ryan about the interesting things he had encountered in business and procurement for many years, and brought the relationship between the two closer, and Ryan also told Fran that he had come out to participate in the trial. Flanner knows that on the Eslar continent, disciples of magic masters are often ordered to test, and the content of the test is also strange. For him, having a good relationship with a proud disciple of a magician has countless benefits for himself and the chamber of commerce to which he belongs.
During the conversation, Ryan learned that Flanner was the Empire ’s largest chamber of commerce, a general procurement businessman affiliated with the Dolock Business Alliance headquartered in the city of Jegnas, specializing in the procurement of materials in the southwestern areas of the Empire. This time, a batch of Warcraft furs and magic nuclei were purchased in and around Takri, ready to be shipped to Alfa City. There is a branch of the Dolock Business Alliance in the southwestern part of the empire in Alfa City, and there are special personnel responsible for the centralized transportation of the purchased materials to Yegnas City.
Unfortunately, Ryan is too short of adventure experience, he did not notice the flaws in Flanner's words: since it is the purchase of magic core and fur, why not wait until the upcoming Victory Day celebration, but hurry to hurry back? And the carriage is not too big, even if it is filled with ordinary fur and magic core, it will not be too much, and there is no need to hire more than five mercenaries. Not to mention Ryan escorts for nearly three times the price. 50 gold coins, maybe the goods he purchased did not cost so much money.
After walking quietly for two days, Flanner has been warmly entertaining Ryan, making Ryan very useful. He even feels that he is not like a mercenary. He is completing the task of escorting merchants, but has been in contact with a long-term fellow. Old friend came out to swim in the mountains. Ryan felt very embarrassed in his heart. He thought to himself that if he arrived at Alfa safely all the way, he must never ask for as much as 50 gold coins. This is so sorry Flanner.
On the third day of the journey, Ryan and Flanner sat in the carriage and chatted as usual. This time their topic was a war of rebellion in Mori City not long ago.
About half a month ago, Lord Count Sainat of Mori City suddenly gathered troops to rebel. Mori City is located in the southeast of the empire and is a must-go town connecting the imperial capital, the largest commercial city of the empire, Jegnas City, and the largest port city, Haifeng City. If Senate ’s rebellion could not be quelled quickly, the imperial capital would be cut off from the southern part of the empire.
In order to quickly quell the rebellion, the head of the Imperial Royal Knights and the highest military leader of the Imperial Capital, General Orlando led the five thousand Royal Knights to Mori City and fought 30,000 rebels outside the city of Mori. After a fierce battle, the Holy Knights defeated Sainate's army and quelled the rebellion.
Lane's five-body cast of land admired by Flanner's sources. He was still near Takri half a month ago? I could have known so clearly about the rebellion that took place in the east. It is indeed a businessman of the Dolock Business Alliance, the largest chamber of commerce in the empire. The source of information is too well-informed, and I ca n’t help but praise Flaner but have no idea. Flanner's face changed a little.
Flanner realized that she had lost her word, and quickly talked to Ryan about the prosperity of the city of Jagenas, disguising this matter.
At this time, Mercedes-Benz's carriage suddenly stopped, and Ryan and Flanner's bodies fell forward involuntarily. Ryan responded quickly. He quickly supported the wall of the carriage with his hand and pulled Flanner. To avoid Flanner's nose and car wall to an intimate lift.
After Flanner sat firmly, an angry expression floated on his face. He said angrily to the driver: "Stupid guy, how do you drive a carriage?"
There was a trembling voice from the driver outside: "Big ... Master, there are thieves."
