Chapter 47: First acquaintance

Spike City, one of the largest cities in the eastern part of the Caton Empire, is only more than a hundred miles away from the eastern border of the empire. Because the surrounding mountains produce a variety of rich metal ores, under the strong construction of the Caton Empire, Spike City It has always been famous throughout the continent for the manufacture of weapons and armor.
More than a hundred years ago, this place was still the territory of a small country called Solu. However, after the talented and ambitious Emperor Caton VII led his cavalry to crush everything here, Emperor Caton VII The world re-established a city on King Solu’s city, which had been burnt to ruins by the war, and named it "Wolffang City". Since the first day of the city's establishment, Spangya City has continued to move towards the Empire’s weapons arsenal. Development, with the support of the empire, there are now thousands of large and small official or private weapons and armor workshops in Spangled City. The weapons and equipment produced here are one-fifth of the total output of the empire nationwide. More.
Although Langfang City is creating countless values ​​for the empire every day, for more than a hundred years, the persistent indigenous peoples have not given up their determination to retake the royal city and the hope of restoring the country. Large and small riots and uprisings have almost It happens every month. Even if the empire is stationed here with a large number of troops to suppress it, it will not help. The only result is that batches of slaves are born here. Some of these slaves are real insurgents, and more are The innocent people who were branded with the marks of insurgents under various names, and even more were slaves directly transported and sold from other places. In the past century, the insurgents caught in the city of Spike and nearby villages and towns The total number of people is more than the total population of the Soru Empire at that time, and until now, the number of insurgents is still constantly and steadily increasing.
Every day, countless mercenaries and adventurers flock to the city from all corners of the empire for sophisticated equipment or to make a living in this troubled city. The largest mercenary union in the Caton Empire is located here. In Spike City.
　　 The sun is just right in the sky, the sun is radiating hot sunshine unscrupulously, and the air is full of hot dust.
Robben looked at the city in front of him, which is not known how many times bigger than Sans, and he was full of excitement. In such a big city, there must be a stopping point for the airship. As long as you get on the airship, you will find Metz. It's not far.
At the gate of the city, people were waiting in a long line to enter the city. Two guards stood neatly on both sides of the gate. Two captains were carefully checking everyone who was going to enter the city. Robben quickly took hold. Sasha was striding to the gate of the city from the side.
　　 "Huh? What's wrong?" Sasha looked back and asked Robben a little strangely.
　　 "Line up, silly girl!" Robben raised his hand and tapped Sasha on the head lightly.
　　Sasha pouted her small mouth, covered her head with her hand and protested: "You are a silly girl!"
Seeing Robben raising his foot and walking towards the end of the team, Sasha immediately pulled Robben back again, "Silly girl! Follow me!" Without waiting for Robben to speak, Sasha dragged Robben to the gate and left. Along the way, a group of people looked at two people with weird eyes.
"Look! The two went to die again! That's how the noble son of the imperial capital wanted to go directly into the city two days ago, but he was beaten and thrown out, and finally he was scolded by the family. It’s not that I have to go into the city in a proper manner. It’s said that I’m still lying in which hospital in the city. These two dolls who don’t know the heights of the sky and earth also think they have any support. I bet a gold coin, two for a while. The individual will definitely be beaten into a pig's head and thrown into the classroom, haha!"
The man who was speaking was a big man with a beard and a height of two meters away. The man was wearing a short leather armor with two naked arms. His arms were full of grave muscles, and he was carrying two huge battle axes behind him. , Now this is talking to two young people, a man and a woman behind him.
　　 "Uncle San! You blocked the only possibility, what kind of gambling is this!" The young woman behind the big man laughed softly.
　　 "Uncle San, you are going to gamble again. If Sanniang knows, I am afraid we will be scolded too!" This time it was the man who spoke.
　　 "That thief mother-in-law! I won't take a penny from my family, she can control me!?" The big man glared at him and muttered loudly, but he looked a little guilty on his face.
"Well, the third uncle has Yaxing. Why don't the little girls follow, I'll bet they will retreat in trouble!" The woman couldn't help but chuckled, and gently pushed the man in front of her, "Brother, It's your turn!"
　　 The man smiled bitterly, "You are fooling around again!"
　　 "Hurry up! You see they are going to the gate of the city!" Before the man had finished speaking, the woman had interrupted him quickly.
　　 "Okay!" The man smiled helplessly, his eyes full of doting, "I also bet they will retreat if they find it difficult!"
　　 "Oh, no! How can you bet the same as others!" The woman raised her eyebrows, and took the man's arm aloud.
　　 "Okay, okay! Then I bet they can go in directly! Then my brother will lose one more gold coin and give you a dowry!" The man said, scraping the bridge of the woman's nose with his hand, laughing loudly.
　　 "I hate it!" The woman dropped the man's arm, her eyes shy.
The big man in front rubbed his hands with excitement, "It's been a long time since I won the bet, and I blame the thief lady who cursed me to lose every bet. This time I will be bad luck, I will go to earn a few thousand gold coins at night..." Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly stopped and looked at the two young people behind him a little embarrassingly.
"Don't worry, San Uncle, as long as you don't lose a pair of axes, I won't tell Sanniang, lest you be driven by Sanniang to sleep outside the room again!" The woman looked at with a smile on her face. The big man flushed.
　　 "You little girl with a knife mouth, see which man will want you in the future!"
　　 "Huh! I don't even look at a man who can't keep up with my brother. I want to marry me. There is no door!" The woman raised her head and looked arrogant, "Brother! Are you saying that?"
　　 "They... have entered the city!"
　　 "What?" The woman didn't react for a while.
"God of War is on! They really entered the city!" The big man stared at the boss with bull-eyed eyes, staring at the gate of the city, "It's over, I was really hit by this thief woman. I won't win this way. I won't gamble today! "
　　 "Brother! They really entered the city!" The woman said in surprise.
The young man did not pay attention to the unnutritious exclamation of the big man and the woman, but carefully recalled the situation when the two people walked by just now: the man was handsome, and he was wearing a shabby leather jacket. ... It's a bit like what the crew on the airship likes to wear. The petite girl is pretty, and the dress is very ordinary. There doesn't seem to be any richness in the two of them.
The young man frowned and looked at the gate of the city. Just now, the girl seemed to take something out of his arms and shook it in front of the captain of the guard. As a result, the captain of the guard who saw everyone looked like a cold face. She was taken aback, and quickly stepped aside, letting two people into the city.
　　If Robben and Sasha were just going into the city, then this young man would not feel so strange. After all, there are exceptions to everything, but the frightened look on the guard captain's face caught his attention.
　　 Langfang City, the main city for the production of imperial ordnance, and there have been small groups of insurgents carrying out various destructions. The military defense force here is only stronger than that of the king. Don’t think that the captain of the guard at the city gate is just a small head looking at the city gate, but the treatment he enjoys is incomparable to some low-level generals who lead the army. At the gate of Spangled City, countless people pass by every day. There are a considerable number of desperadoes in it. Without the strength, they can’t deter these fierce gods who are licking blood. Each of the four guard captains at the east and west gates of Langya City has quite good combat power, and some do not open their eyes. The younger generation of Xiao Xiao, any of them can knock down dozens of them instantly!
On weekdays, as long as it is not a big figure with a surname in the empire, then there is nothing to say, no matter how gorgeous your team of horses and horses, no matter how many honors are hung on your family badge, I’m sorry, but I have to check one by one, one by one Into town!
This is the most special aspect of Spire City. Since the enemy's spies entered Spies City in large numbers twenty years ago, and almost burned the weapon storehouse, the garrison of Spire City was replaced with a new one and directly reported to the Emperor of the Empire. Responsible, under the king's order, these captains are absolutely unscrupulous. No matter how famous and powerful you are, can you compare to the emperor of the empire? But... that little girl just brightened the things in her hands, and she could scare the captain of the guard into that way!
　　 Watching the two people disappear into the city, the young man secretly remembered the appearance of Robben and Sasha.
　　Roben and Sasha naturally didn't know that they were just entering a city gate, but they caused the three people outside to get worried.
"Sa Sa! What did you show him just now?" Robben asked curiously. Just now, Sa Sha shook the thing in front of the captain of the guard and took it back. Robben really didn't see clearly. .
　　 "Secret!" Sasha raised her index finger to her mouth and smiled triumphantly!
　　 After two steps, Sa Sa turned around, "This is the master's thing, except when you use it, you can't show it to others!" Sa Sa hesitated, and said seriously.
"Oh!" Speaking of Sa Sa's master, Robben didn't ask too much. This chick is very simple in mind, but it seems that he has a very tight tone about his master's affairs. Robben hasn't asked him several times. When the reason came out, Robben gave up in the end.
　　 "Let's quickly find a place to live, eat a good meal, and make up for the losses these days!" Robben said excitedly, looking at the bustling crowd in the city. Now Robben's purse is bulging, and Luke's fortune, which is almost impossible to estimate, is well placed in Robben's ring.
　　 "Okay! Let's go!" When she heard that she was going to eat, Sa Sha agreed without hesitation, and ran out holding Maomao first.
After a while, Robben stood in front of a large restaurant with a bit of stunned mouth. Robben counted the six floors up and down. The appearance of each floor was uniform, and the decoration was unusually magnificent, and the surrounding ones were darkened. The low-rise buildings dominated by iron color are out of place and stand out from the crowd. On the first floor is a big plaque with four characters: Langya Restaurant!
　　 This is the so-called premium hotel! Robben muttered secretly in his heart, it seems that he will be extravagant this time!
　　, thinking in her heart, Sasha has taken Robben into the restaurant.
　　 As soon as he entered the door, a man who looked like a lad was greeted inside. He was dressed in a well-cut cyan clothes and was dry and quiet. He wore a four-corner hat on his head, which looked very energetic.
　　 "Two...?" The guy said two words, looked up and down Robben and Sasha, and asked.
Robben quickly glanced in the space on the first floor and found that most of the people sitting inside were rich and well-dressed people. Occasionally there were two eye-catching ones, who were also dressed in strong clothes and carried weapons with him. They did not look like mercenaries. It is a free adventurer.
Robben looked at Sasha and himself again, knowing where the problem was. The people in the restaurant were either rich people with a lot of money, or people who didn't have much but were willing to spend money, mercenaries and adventurers. Such a profession may lose his life one day, and almost everyone is the master of timely pleasure. Very few people who care about their families can spend a long time in this business, and in the end they either die or change to a more stable business as soon as possible.
　　 And I and Sa Sa don’t look like people who can afford to spend money. They are in tattered clothes and have nothing to do with them. Except that Sa Sa is very beautiful, it is estimated that they will never be found in the refugees.
　　 Now this guy just looked at himself questioningly, and didn't show any rudeness. In Robben's view, this is quite professional.
"Hehe, when we first came to the expensive land, there may be a lot of things to be troublesome. Please take care of it in the future." Robben said, already quietly taking out a whole bunch of gold coins from the ring and stuffing them into the man's hands. .
Looking at the gold coins in his hand, the guy opened his mouth in surprise. After a while, the guy seemed to suddenly realize that there were two guests beside him. He hurriedly put on a smiling face and bent down slightly. "Speaking, I picked out a gold coin in my hand and put it in my pocket, and the others were handed back~EbookFREE.me~ The boss stipulated that guests can only get one gold coin for rewards. These, you..." The guy's face was sore.
　　 Robben quickly pushed the gold coin back, "No one sees it now. If you don't tell me, I don't tell you, naturally no one knows."
The dude looked around and looked back at the gold coins in his hand. He hesitated a lot. Finally, he seemed to have made some determination and pushed back the gold coins with a resolute expression, "I should still hold my job well. Well, I have offended a lot just now, but if you are the one who is small, you will be embarrassed again." The man said, showing a bitter face.
　　Roben couldn't help but look up at the young man in front of him who was about his age. He didn't expect that a messenger could not be moved by money.
Robben also stopped insisting. He took back the gold coin, and then picked out another one from the middle and handed it over, "This can be regarded as the second reward. We may have to live here for a while, and there will be some things. I may have to trouble you."
　　 "It's not a problem, as long as you order, the younger one will do it!" The guy happily took the gold coin again and held it in his arms.
　　 "Two, please take a seat upstairs!"
　　－－－－－－－－－
　　 "Uncle San! I seem to see the two people at the gate of the city just now!"
　　 Robben and Sa Sa just disappeared at the entrance of the second floor, the big man with beard and the pair of young men and women just stepped into the gate of this restaurant.
　　 "Which one? The one that made me lose the bet?" The big man stared his bull's eyes and started looking around.
　　 "Brother, are those two people who broke into the city just now?"
　　 "Hmm! It should be correct!"

　　 Something happened temporarily yesterday and I didn’t sleep very well, so today’s update was a bit late, sorry.
