The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and all things were alive, this was the greatest feeling that Lane and Ellendo had along the way.
The two left the Merlin Forest three days ago and followed the directions on the Orlando map toward the city of Jagenas. Along the way, they became more spacious as they walked, and the rivers gradually became more and more. The small rivers that could be crossed in a few steps gradually converged into a large river that was tens of meters wide. A ferry boat was required to make the transition.
After being far away from the Merlin Forest in the south, Ryan suddenly found that his daily diet has also changed. Like the Taryn sheep and Taryn cattle that are often eaten in the north, they are basically extinct. Even if there are, the taste is very different. Far, and ridiculously expensive. On the contrary, fish often appear on the table, and the cooking method has become colorful from a single barbecue. Sturgeon soup, clam chowder, and smoked grilled sea bass don't have a taste.
The destination of Ryan and Ellendo's trip is called Jagenas City, which is the largest and most important city in the southern part of the mainland. The largest city on the mainland is naturally the capital city of Fernando, but this city, built by the last of the seven heroes, the youngest student of Archmage Melon, and the support of the alchemist Jessie, has a history of only two hundred years. It is not comparable to the second largest city on the mainland, Yegnus, which has a history of at least a thousand years.
The name of the city of Jagenas is derived from the Elven language. It is said that the city was built by elves to help humans build it. Jagnas in Elven language means the pearl of Eslar. However, after the name translated in Elven language was changed into the human common language, its pronunciation is quite circumvent, but its other name "Freedom Paradise" is more easy for others to remember.
For thousands of years, the free paradise, Jagenas, has always believed in the tenet of "people do not offend me, I do not offend". From the day it was built, it was a neutral city and did not participate in any country or nation on the mainland. war. Even the long war of mankind known as the "Hundred Years of Catastrophe", and the disaster of the invasion of all mankind by the undead invasion two hundred years ago, did not reach here.
In the free paradise of Jagenas, as long as the rules here are followed, anyone can live here, regardless of the princes and nobles or civilian beggars, the city is treated equally, which is also known as the "freedom paradise" The biggest reason.
Ryan has never been able to understand that if the undead invasion was because the main battlefield at that time was in the north, and the evil legion that swept the entire north was destroyed by smoke when attacking the sunrise city, so it did not affect the free paradise Yegnus, that human history In the centuries-old catastrophe that took place on the main battlefield in the southern part of the mainland, why did no one think of occupying this irresistible city regardless of its geographical location or prosperity in the battle for more than 100 years?
Along the way, closer and closer to the free paradise Jagnas, seeing the shops on both sides becoming more and more dense, Ryan ’s idea became stronger and stronger, he believed that he would be in this ancient and mysterious Cities find answers to questions.
When Ryan was standing on the street in the commercial area of ​​Liberty Paradise Jagenas, the shock in his heart was far greater than the first sight of the city of Fernando. Ryan has heard a lot about the free paradise Jagenas since childhood, if the fur and magic cores from his hometown are of high quality, most of them will be handed over by merchants in exchange for a satisfactory price. The teacher's teacher, Caleb, killed the fur of the earth bear, and it is said that it was sold here at an unbelievable high price.
In Ryan ’s mind, the free paradise, Jagenas, should have a high wall, at least as much as Fernando ’s. How to have a ten-meter-high appearance, and running four carriages side by side on the wall should be similar. Outside the city wall, there should be a wide and deep moat. There is no water in the north, so there is no moat in Fernando City, but there is sufficient water in the south. Ryan estimates how to have a five-meter-wide moat?
Unfortunately, Ryan ’s eyes clearly told him that all of his previous assumptions were wrong. There were no high walls, no wide and deep moats, or even an obvious defensive structure, and there was no patrol. soldier. What Ryan saw in front of him were the spacious streets and the neat shops on both sides of the streets.
Ryan rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Everything in front of him was still the same. It seemed that he was not mistaken. Ryan spent a few silver coins and turned around and asked the "sellers" on both sides of the street. The latter firmly told him that this was the fake city of Yegnas, the beautiful city called Liberty Paradise.
Ryan completely disregarded Ailondo and Xiaobai, who squatted to the side of the street, staring at the flow of people coming and going, and there was chaos in his head. No walls, no moat, and no guards seem to be seen. What did the city do to protect itself from being attacked by ambitious kings in that century-long catastrophe?
The crowd suddenly became chaotic. A middle-aged man in gentleman's clothing panicked away from the crowd and ran over. Behind him were seven or eight men armed with various weapons. The middle-aged man turned his head and saw that the man closest to him was less than five meters away. His heart was awkward. He didn't know what he tripped at his feet. His center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to Ryan's. before.
"Bang" made Ryan recover, and he stared blankly at the middle-aged man lying in front of him, who raised his upper body with one hand, exposing his nose with nose. This is a familiar face, and Ryan remembers where he seems to have seen it, but he can't remember it for a while.
At this time, the seven or eight men chased them. They saw the middle-aged man fall to the ground and stood in a semi-circle with a grin on his face.
The middle-aged man wiped his nose with one hand, but unexpectedly caused the scars on his face, causing him to twitch in pain, and then at the same time, the middle-aged man also saw Ryan in front of him, his eyes Liang, shouted: "Len Magician, is it really you?"
This familiar voice awakened the memory deep in Ryan's mind. Outside the city of Alfa, middle-aged businessmen and thieves' scars, the scene of the scene passed by before Ryan's eyes. Lane finally heard the name of the middle-aged man in front of him: Flanner. The businessman who spent 50 gold coins to hire himself and invited himself to the pride of the lion king.
Recalling the time when he had just walked out of his hometown, Ryan couldn't help feeling emotion. This time was really fast enough, and a year had passed. But Flanner didn't care about "recalling pain and thinking sweet", he didn't know where the power came from, he jumped up suddenly and shouted at Ryan: "Dear Ryan Magician, save me quickly! "
Ryan stayed for a while. In his impression, the Franer's every move in front of him was full of self-confidence. How come he fell into such a field now? But anyway, Flanner is an old man after all, as long as he can help, he should help him anyway.
Without waiting for Ryan to speak, one of the seven or eight men who gathered around looked like a bald man at the beginning. "Franner, why don't you run away?"
"Run?" Ryan heard this, and he asked the bald man: "What the hell?"
Flanner's face was red. When he walked with Ryan on the same day, he was full of confidence. Unexpectedly, when he met again, it was an embarrassing situation.
"Who are you?" The bald man looked at Ryan up and down and saw Ryan wearing a linen adventurer costume. He said disapprovingly: "Don't mess with it, this guy owes us money, we are in debt."
Ryan's magic robe was destroyed in the tomb and was thrown away. Now he is wearing the most ordinary adventurer costume, which will naturally not attract the attention of others. Hearing the bald man claiming to be debt collector, Ryan frowned and asked, "How much?"
"Me, I borrowed a thousand gold coins from them a while ago," Franzi said. "Luck ... the goods ... oh!"
"That's a lot of nonsense!" The bald man mocked Flanner. "You borrowed a thousand, but now it has been dragging for a full ten days, then it's not a thousand!"
Ryan immediately understood the course of things through the words of the two, and he immediately said, "How much is the total?"
"You?" The bald man didn't expect Ryan to repay Flanner's debts. He hesitated and said, "One day is 10% interest. These ten days are 2,600 gold coins."
"Well!" The bald man pulled a contract written on the sheepskin from his arms and pointed to the text above: "It's clearly written here! You can't rely on debt, otherwise you have to do it." The coolie slowly earns money to pay it back. "
Flanner stared at Ryan, his face full of begging.
Ryan didn't expect the interest to be so high, but he didn't hesitate and took the wallet that Faras gave him directly from his arms, and said to the bald man, "I'll pay him back!" Ryan turned his head and said to Flanner, "I'm not very familiar with this. Look, what other procedures do you need? Save trouble later!"
Flanner was overjoyed, and he put his hands on his chest, pressing down the heart that was about to jump out. And the bald man showed a hesitant expression when he heard Ryan paying back his money. His eyes looked away, as if looking for something in the crowd.
The ecstatic Flanner naturally didn't notice this detail, but Lane and Elendo saw it at the same time, and a common question appeared in their minds: "What are he looking for?"
