Chapter 14: Konola City

Konora City is located in the border area of ​​the Kingdom of Camos, but it is surrounded by mountains to the west, and the Aigma Wasteland (the wasteland through which punk passes) to the east. There are canals flowing through it, and transportation and freight are very Convenient, it can be said that its geographical location can be attacked and defensive. Therefore, it is an out-and-out strategic location. Although the Kingdom of Camos is located in a barren area and has not had a war for many years, it has been fighting with Di in recent years. The relationship between the Kingdom of Lun was tense, and Konora was at the junction with the Kingdom of Dylan to the south, so there were many more troops in the city of Konora.
　　 Punk and Kane walked towards the gate together. A huge crimson flag hung above the gate. The flag was decorated with a rather abstract griffon. The flag fluttered in the wind, looking very imposing. The 20-meter-high city wall is made of large blocks of granite. There are still many deep scratches caused by sharp weapons on it. Together with the angular stone bricks, it has a strong history. The breath came over.
At the city gate, some people and businessmen who entered and exited were standing in line waiting for the soldiers to inspect. The soldiers were all round and rude. They unabashedly demanded bribes from those entering the city. There was an old man in shabby clothes because The "paid" bribe failed to satisfy the guard, so he was pushed to the ground, and the guard kicked the old man in the leg cursingly.
And there is a smaller side door beside the main gate of the city wall, which seems to be used for the nobles and professionals to enter and leave alone. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the gate, the side door looks much cleaner, and ordinary poor people are far away from there. There was only an old man dressed as a warrior sitting on a wooden chair, who appeared to be the gatekeeper of the side door. Punk made a rough perception and found that the old man who was drinking with a small sip was an apprentice warrior of the first level. From the perspective of age, it belongs to the type of hopeless promotion.
　　 "I don't want to line up here for a long time, now I want to go into the city to find a place to eat~ have a meal, and go in there quickly, the old man must have no guts to stop." Kane stretched, pointed to the side door and said.
　　Punk actually had this idea in his mind, so he carried his staff and walked to the side door.
　　 The old janitor saw a man dressed as a mage and a man dressed as a knight approaching, he stood up quickly and took out a piece of parchment from his arms. He raised his head and took a sip of wine and stood in the middle of the door.
Seeing this scene, punk's face became gloomy, looking at the old man's posture as if he wanted some "benefits", but punk now only has five gold coins, although for ordinary people's families, one gold coin is already half a year's expense. , But it can be said to be extremely rare for punk who wants to learn knowledge as soon as possible. He is not like inexplicably wasting "favorite fees".
　　 "If that old man asks Lao Tzu for money, Lao Tzu will shoot him and drive away"! Kane next to him had an expression of indignation. The money on his body was so little that he was almost gone, and the one-week long journey turned this impatient guy into an active volcano. The greedy guard stopped, and everyone would have the urge to beat someone.
　　Punk doesn't think it will be difficult. After all, he and Kane are both level four professionals (the upgrade is still very fast in the early stage). It is unwise to offend two level four professionals for a little money. An old churros fighter should understand this.
Sure enough, the old man did not reach out for money like a soldier at the gate. He just asked punk and Kane to register their profession and level. He didn't even ask about their names. When he saw that punk and Kane, who were about fifteen years old, were actually level four. As a professional, the old man dropped the parchment on the ground in shock.
　　 Seeing the old man's "unbelievable" expression, Kane triumphantly released his apprentice-level power and strode into the city gate, and deliberately framed the armor on his body, regardless of the punk's contemptuous eyes.
　　 Entering the city, a city scene full of medieval characteristics is revealed before punk.
As a "military city", in order to facilitate the deployment of the army, Konola is a road paved with gravel. In the tender season when the air is humid, little moss grows on the side of the stone road, which is Konola A lot of green has been added to the city. The city gate is facing a market, and many shops are written in popular shop names in large letters, usually the owner’s name plus the items they sell, such as Sibak’s clothing store, Guge fresh meat store, etc. Many merchants who have not rented a shop also set up stalls on the side of the road to sell their products to everyone passing by. Although the distribution of various shops is chaotic, they give people a feeling of prosperity.
"I said, buddy, what plans do you have next?" Kane patted Punk on the shoulder, looking like an "iron buddy" talking about everything, but Punk stepped away, "What do you have? intend"? Punk didn't answer, he asked Kane back.
"I~, Lao Tzu is going to the Adventurer's Union to start the risky career of my super-great Kane Cavaliers." After that, he turned and walked to the lively food vendors~EbookFREE.me~ But now~ I have to eat a big meal first, to reward myself~".
　　 "Then, goodbye" Punk finished speaking, and turned to another deserted street.
　　 "Goodbye~~" After Kane waved his hand casually without looking back, he began to bargain with the vendor owner happily.
--------split line--------
Punk is actually very happy to part ways with Kane, because although Kane looks out of touch, seems carefree and "sunny", in fact he is a smart and cold-blooded person, and punk is watching people. This aspect is still very accurate, especially for people like Kane in his bones. Although you don’t have to worry about the teammate being stupid when working with this kind of person, cooperation is absolutely guaranteed in terms of efficiency, but you have to cooperate in the process. Guard against each other, otherwise, as long as there is enough interest, the two people who lived and died with good brothers in the last second will definitely pierce each other's heart with the knife in the next second, so punk is more willing to cooperate with people in the good camp. After all, as long as you behave hypocritically, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by your teammates. At the critical moment, those "righteous knights" will also give up their lives for justice, which can be said to be the best quality meat shield.
Punk is now walking straight to a very iconic building, that has a high spire, the building materials are real "blue bricks and blue tiles" of the assembly, that house is the countless members of the Mage Union One of the branches, the banner on the roof is printed with a nine-petal purple-red flower, which is the symbol of the Mage Union-the flower of Weis, although I don’t know why the Mage Union made the whole body of this branch green. , But the conspicuous wave of magic still made Punk sure from a few miles away-this is the Mage Union.
