Seck City is located in the east of the mainland of Eslar. It is a very important transportation hub in the territory of the Holy Alliance Empire. The south of the mainland is extremely rich in products. If the caravans from the south choose to take a boat from Haifeng City to Sunrise City, , If you want to transport the goods to the northern city, most of them will pass through here.
More importantly, due to historical reasons, several cities actually controlled by the imperial royal family are in the north. Once they lose control of the city of Seck, they will face the obstruction of the southward passage and eventually lead to the end of the country ’s north-south division. Therefore, The former Lord of Sack City, Senat, ignored the legend of the Royal Knights and raised the battle flag.
When Senat just started the rebellion, many lords were ready to move, ready to follow his footsteps immediately after he controlled the situation, and raised the so-called "independence" flag. But Orlando led the Royal Knights south overnight, and defeated the Senate army several times with his own side in the first battle. He also sent a bacon squadron leader to hunt Sennat, and almost caught Sennat in the battle of Giethoorn.
Now that the main traffic route of Sec City belongs to the empire, the young Fernando XIII also aroused the ambition in his heart, hoping to strengthen the ruling power of the empire in the south in ten years. For this purpose.
Of course, this point is not clear to Ryan and Ellendo. They are now standing outside the city of Seck. The walls here are not tall. Of course, this is the conclusion compared with the imperial capital, but the road here is indeed It was in all directions. On the way when they came, the carriages and pedestrians were busy, and Ryan and Ellendo had seen more than four carriages in parallel. During the time when Ryan came out to adventure, similar scenes could only be seen in the imperial capital, so the young Ryan was full of curiosity, what does this Seck City look like?
"What are you doing here?" A soldier holding a spear at the city gate said to Ryan.
Ryan knew that this was just a routine inspection, and it would be the case in almost all cities. Of course, the ultimate goal of this is to collect some in-city taxes. In many places, this tax is a source of gold coins that accounts for a large part of the city's owners.
"We are adventurers, come here to try your luck." Ryan said calmly as he looked at the sergeant of his own age.
The sergeant wearing a leather helmet and gray leather armor looked up and down Ryan and Ellendo, and then spoke like a recitation a long paragraph: "If you want to find a job You can go to the business district, where there are businessmen recruiting folks all year round; if you have some skills, go to the mercenary guild; if you come to do business, you must go through legal formalities first, otherwise it is illegal. Warn you, do n’t be here There will be trouble in the city, otherwise the law enforcement team will make you regret coming here. In the end, the entry tax of one silver coin per person will be handed over to the guy behind me. "
For the first time, Ryan and Ellendo heard someone say this to them. Ryan asked the sergeant, "Why, do you still manage these things?"
The young sergeant glanced at Ryan, with a sense of pride on his face, and said proudly: "You are here for the first time? I saw it at a glance. Tell you, there are a lot of adventurers here every year. Come and try your luck, but most of them are not familiar with it, so they must explain it to them when they enter the city, otherwise they will cause trouble in the city, and they will eventually affect the businessmen. "
"Then why only accept one silver coin?" Allen asked. "I think there is at least one gold coin in other cities?"
"Don't you understand this?" The sergeant patted Ellendor's shoulder and explained: "Do you think there is a lot of people in the city that charge you a gold coin, or are we crowded here?"
"Of course it is here."
"Yes, we are a very important city here. Everyone going from south to north must pass through here, but if the tax is too high to enter the city, the merchants will bypass here. Without these merchants, what shall we eat? ? To say, it is our city host Senna ... "
The young sergeant hadn't finished speaking, and was suddenly slapped on the face. He was beaten back with what he wanted to say below. The young sergeant covered his aching face and shouted loudly: "Which dare to hit me?"
"You don't want to live anymore?" A man wearing brand-new leather armor and bearded beard looks like a leader shouting at the young sergeant: "If you want to die, dig a hole in the graveyard outside the city Bury yourself, don't involve others. "
The young sergeant turned his head and turned out to be his captain. He was so scared that he turned white, and he quickly bent over and said to the beard, "I, I ..."
"Go!" Luobei raised his leg and kicked the young sergeant's thigh. The latter ran away as if relieved.
The beard looked at Ryan and Ellendo squinted. Today, both Ryan and Ellendo are dressed in very ordinary adventurer costumes. Ryan didn't put his magic apprentice mark on his chest. The beard of the beard moved twice, and then said to Ryan and Ellen: "I warn you, you did n’t hear anything just now, and gave me a good money to enter the city, or you will get away of."
Although it was very polite to wear a beard, Ryan and Ellendo didn't care about him. Ryan took out a silver coin and threw it to the tax collector, and then walked into Seck City with Ellendo.
Although the streets of Sec City are not as wide as the imperial capital, the streets are also lined with a variety of shops, a variety of goods, the clamor of screams, and the crowded scenes on the street still let Ryan and Ellendo I'm amazed. It's really lively here. If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will believe that there was a rebellion here more than half a year ago.
Ryan and Ellendo strolled casually on the street. Most of the shops here are selling daily necessities such as food and cloth. This did not attract the interest of Laine and Ellendor. The two discussed a little and decided Or go to the mercenary guild first, and then find a place to live.
However, Ryan and Ellendo are both visiting Seck City for the first time and are not familiar with it. How could they know where the Mercenary Guild is? Allen looked at Ryan more and motioned for a solution. Ryan nodded. He looked around. He suddenly had an idea. He decided to use the simplest and most direct method.
