Chapter 130: Sam, acquaintance

After showing the mission voucher, the guards called a man who looked like a steward, who looked at Xia Duo with a very critical look when he came, "You took the task of cleaning up the goblins?"
"It's me." For an ordinary person, Xia Duo didn't bother to talk to him, and asked directly, "Can you tell me about the situation in Xia Hexi Village? Where are the accompanying soldiers?"
"You--" Guan Shi seemed to be usually arrogant, and didn't realize that even just a mage apprentice had already surpassed his class in essence.
He pointed to the guard who had called him before, and said to him, "Sam, you take him to the Eastern Military Camp." Then he looked at Chateau, his tone was not very good, "Is Chateau? Sam will introduce you to Hexi The situation in the village, the fellow soldiers are in the barracks, you'd better complete the task as soon as possible, otherwise you won't get the 20 gold coins."
After speaking, he left directly.
The guard named Sam looked at Xia Duo with some kindness, rubbing his hands, not knowing what to say, this scene was quite funny. Xia Duo opened the mouth to break the deadlock, "Sam, take me to the barracks, tell me on the way what is going on in Hexi Village."
"Good!" Sam greeted and walked ahead, returning to see Chateau following, then slowly told
"Hexi Village is a small village on the west side of the Wolfsburg River. It is similar to other villages in the territory. It mainly grows rye and raises some livestock, but Hexi Village has a special product."
"What special product?"
"An olive grove, or olive oil. These olive oils are sent to the city of Conifer to be sold to the elves every year. The elves like this vegetable oil very much. This is also a very important income in the territory." "Xia Duo suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise.
Sam asked quickly, "What happened to Master Xia Duo?"
"It's nothing, you keep talking!"
Xia Duo found out that he had misunderstood. The guards of the town hall understood these things and it was nothing. Maybe this Sam knew more secret things!
Instructing Sam to continue speaking, Chateau will also consider some of the situation of Savile, after all, he will be here for a long time if nothing else.
"Master Chateau, I continue. Although olive oil is a good thing, it is not easy to take care of the olive tree. In addition to daily maintenance, the most important thing is to protect against goblins.
"They are not only easily attracted by the scent of the leaves, but also like to destroy the tree itself, and when it comes to harvest time, they come in groups, but at that time, the lord's attention is not a problem."
"Then what's the problem this time?" Xia Duo asked.
"I don't know what's going on this time, just as the snow outside has just melted away, the goblins came over in advance, and they were beaten back many times without giving up. This is abnormal!"
Sam hasn’t seen anything like this for so many years. Seeing that Xia Duo didn’t dislike what he said, he said a few more words,
This mission is actually to find out the cause of the goblin’s anomaly. Someone also took the mission before Come here, but he only cleaned up part of the goblins, and did not find out the cause of the goblin abnormality."
"Oh?" Xia Duo raised his eyebrows. "The steward just said that he couldn't get 20 gold coins because of this?"
"Yes, but it's not that you can't get gold coins at all, you should still get some."
Sam's words almost made Xia Duo amused. He came for a cost-effective task. If he couldn't complete the task, wouldn't he go for nothing!
"Okay Sam, can you tell me about the situation in Hexi Village? Tell me about the terrain, the villagers, and even weird rumors!"
"okay!"
Sam was eager to show off in front of a mage apprentice, thinking that he had also dreamed of joining the mage tower at the beginning, but he didn't even learn the most basic spell-casting focus after three years of mixing.
Therefore, he has a mentality to look up to anyone who comes out of the mage tower, but at the same time he also has the idea of ​​surpassing a bit in some way.
...
From the town hall to the military camp in the eastern zone, you only need to cross the central square in the middle, and walk a short walk after reaching the eastern zone. The square is not crowded, but the eastern zone is lively.
The influence of the orc wars a year ago has disappeared after all. The dead are dead after all. No one will have trouble with the gold coins, especially the chamber of commerce. The head of the branch is dissatisfied, but the backstage master does not speak for him, so he can only fight. Drop your teeth and swallow into your mouth.
This time, Xia Duo saw all the shops of the chambers of commerce in various countries. There were even special servants shouting at the door to recruit armed guards. The chambers of commerce provide professional training and are well paid.
Seeing this scene, Sam seemed to be disdainful, and after walking away, he whispered, "These foreign chambers of commerce know how to trick young people in the territory, and what professional training is all deceptive."
"How do you say this?" Xia Duo was also a little curious. Since he is recruiting guards, it should be reasonable to provide training.
Sam took a close look at Xia Duo, "You are still young and don’t know the viciousness of those chambers of commerce. They use high prices to seduce young people, but in fact, only a few can earn money alive. The so-called professional training is just to find a risk. One teaches one."
"Do you have an opinion on adventurers?" Xia Duo found the blind student.
"Of course, how can adventurers compare to those who came out of our barracks! And those adventurers know how to drink, fight, and how to train people?"
Xia Duo did not ask ~EbookFREE.me~ Once prejudice is formed, it is difficult to change. He believes that profit-seeking people know how to get the most benefits. Frequent loss of guards is not only a loss of money, but also a reputation.
The word of mouth is lost, and it will be difficult to recruit people next time.
...
A moment south of the trade zone, he arrived at the Eastern Barracks. It was the first time that Xia Duo came here, but he was not unfamiliar with the layout of the barracks. The Western Barracks he was in during the Orc War were very similar to this.
After checking his identity, he immediately found a familiar feeling.
"Mage Xia Duo, this is Captain Uk, and his team will go with you to perform the task later." Sam introduced Xia Duo to his team captain, but Xia Duo felt that this introduction was a bit redundant.
He looked at the familiar big guy in front of him, smiled and said, "Captain Uk, it's been a long time!"
"Mage Xia Duo, I didn't expect it to be you? You might really solve those goblins this time!" Uke was very excited.
He has experienced two mission failures. Although the main responsibility is not on him and he has not been punished by the officer, he has left a bad impression on the officer. He needs a turnaround too much!
"I didn't expect to meet Captain Uk on this mission. By the way, you know how Gibb is doing now?"
"In the previous war, the main force was attrition very severe. We were all transferred to the main force, but Gibb was performing patrol missions outside, otherwise you would be able to see him." Uke said.
The two of them ignored the chatter of outsiders, making Sam feel that he was a little redundant, so they said goodbye to Xia Duo, "Master Xia Duo, since your side has been handed over, then I will go back first. If there is any problem, You can come to the town office to find me at any time."
"Well, I will!"
