The Remaining City - An Ideal Across the Sky Chapter 30 War Chess
It didn't take long for Carlin to arrive at Lawton's city wall, and the forest could be seen outside the gate.
The main people who come in and out of this gate are hunters and explorers, but there are also a few botanists and speculators.
Carlin was not in a hurry to go out. He chose to see if there were any pubs or people chatting near the gate first.
There were many people chatting among the group of explorers who were preparing to leave the city and were waiting for the guards to interrogate them, except for those who were fighting alone. If you get closer, you can easily find out something.
But Carlin thought of a better way and glanced at the surrounding shops with an expression as if he was looking for something. At the same time, he naturally moved towards the queue to leave the city, so that he could get information without having to concentrate.
At this distance, even without excellent hearing, you can still hear the middle-aged explorer in front of you telling the novices who were acting with him that if you are shot by a half-elf warning, you must not fight back.
At the same time, he also mentioned a lot of precautions that are beneficial to lower-level adventurers but are meaningless to Kalin.
Other small talk was meaningless. While listening, Karin looked towards the city gate to see what the environment outside the city was like.
Standing on tiptoes, I looked behind the half-open city gate. Not far away was a patch of greenery, and above me was the clear, cloudless blue sky.
The environment was indeed good, but there were still things to do at the moment. So Karin quietly left the team and walked along the city wall, intending to find a place to stay first.
Then I found a hotel that looked similar to other hotels in decoration but the price was more affordable than before.
The person looking after the store was a girl with short gray hair, who looked to be about ten years old. This child's ears were slightly pointier than ordinary people, but much shorter than Heath's.
Ninety-Seven Mel One day, while paying for the room, Karin glanced at the layout of the hotel to see how the guest flow was and whether there was a place to eat.
There are not many customers in this store, and there is a sign on the counter indicating that Pais will not be accepted for stays less than five days...
At first glance, there seemed to be no other adults operating in the store. After thinking about it, Karin decided to ask the girl about things in the city.
"Well, I just came to Laodun. Can I tell you what places are worth visiting here?" Karin maintained the tone of communicating with an adult.
"Are you a traveler?" The girl's voice was as clear as a silver bell.
"Yes, I am traveling around. Is this identity not very common here?" Karin asked doubtfully.
The girl smiled. "Laodun is a holy land for merchants and a hotbed for explorers, but it is not a city suitable for tourism. Entertainment culture is not popular here, and those beautiful scenery are also accompanied by dangers. Of course, you are a traveler, not a tourist.
Whether fatigue is of any value to you depends on your experience." The little girl is very eloquent.
"I understand, but I'm just satisfying my curiosity. Many things can be entertainment for me. I heard from other explorers that there is a skilled blacksmith living here. Do you know where he lives?
?" Carlin revealed his identity.
The girl shook her head. "You should ask adventurers about this kind of thing. Apart from explorers and alchemists, ordinary residents don't need superb forging skills to do anything, right?"
Karin nodded without denying it. "You're right. But people here seem to rarely talk about these things. I just try my luck."
"Alban won't talk about temporary needs, that's all. You should take the initiative to ask your colleagues. This is not a shameful thing, is it?" The girl flipped her hair in front of her, but
Carlin had never heard of this afterthought. "If you ask a hundred explorers and get no results, it will prove to be a rumor."
"Then, see you tonight. It's not my rest time yet." After Carlin finished speaking, he took out most of his change to pay for the accommodation and left the hotel. After that, he continued walking along the street, planning to find other places.
Spend some time in the store and try your luck.
"I wish you good luck." The girl lowered her head slightly.
Kalin walked around, asking passers-by around where the nearby Mage Association was, and also looking for various sundries he had seen before but didn't buy.
Since this is called a machine shop, is there anything else besides clocks? Karin looked at the pocket watches and figured out which one was stronger, while scanning other products or equipment in the store.
The rest are all products that have no value for travel, such as the spring-loaded latch gun for decoration that Gabru may be interested in, the music box that Zate may be interested in, and the alarm clock with mechanical springs that can set the time, etc.
small items, this machinery shop does not provide sales or customization of large machinery.
All in all, Carlin picked a relatively sturdy-looking pocket watch as a souvenir, as he had no place to put other things for the time being.
The fine gold is resistant to falling for ten linseys, and it is not expensive to thank you for your patronage.
When Carlin left, he took another look. There were bakeries, butcher shops, grocery stores, and tailor shops near the clock shop. Looking up, the largest buildings here, except for the schools, seemed to have no more than two floors.
Yes.
None of the ordinary people Tutu asked knew the location of Lawton's Mage Association, but there were many explorers who were Mage explorers in this city.
Considering this, Kalin decided to go back to the association, where there were many explorers chatting.
It was such a lively time at this time. None of the staff I saw before were gone, but the staff were not very energetic after the shift change.
Because there were not enough chairs, some people even sat at the table to brag to each other about today's harvest.
Carlin moved forward to the explorers who were discussing animatedly with great expectation, and found a seat in the corner. He didn't even order a drink, and began to ostensibly close his eyes and relax, but actually eavesdropped. [Hope to listen.
I found something useful. It’s really tiring to communicate in this place. I don’t know what the people who set the rules have gone through.】
It's just that these stories of bravery are so exaggerated that they can blow their minds to the sky. Just when Carlin was about to lose his patience, a man walked up to Carlin. "Brother, I don't know, I have a commission and I need someone."
,Are you interested?"
Tutu raised her head and glanced at the visitor's outfit, and at the same time looked around to see if anyone else was looking over.
And this man was handsome and well-dressed, wearing a thin sword with a hilt inlaid with green emeralds, and he certainly had a sharp gaze.
"I'm really free. If it's convenient, could you please tell me?" Carlin slightly controlled the volume.
"My name is Li Lian. I am the top explorer, right?" The name of the man who reported his name is also somewhat feminine. With the weapon and appearance, it is really hard for people not to think of it. At the same time, this name also makes other people nearby.
Note that there is some commotion among the explorers here, not to mention the explosive news later.
Rei, the senior explorer Hayate, actually said that the other party was the top adventurer. This was basically what everyone whispered to each other.
[Sigh...] "Please continue." Karin sighed secretly but did not deny it. He planned to listen to him continue, but at the same time he consciously withdrew part of his hearing to avoid ear pain.
"Brother, it seems like I don't have any commissions. I'm just waiting for the commission. I'm just doing nothing. How about making a little money?" Li Lian's smile is quite contagious. The premise is that most of the girls and explorers are not interested in it.
"Of course I won't have trouble with money, but I don't know what kind of commission you are accepting?" Carlin asked.
"To be precise, this is a named commission from me, entrusting a top explorer to prove the true validity of the upgrade commission, and to protect the entrusted person when his life is in danger." Li Lian said.
"So you want to find a bodyguard, by the way... Forget it, what is the upgrade commission you are talking about?" Carlin does not have any ability to protect other people. This is really embarrassing but it does not affect him to continue listening. "Understood.
, but can I meet your juniors before accepting the commission?" Karin said as he glanced outside the association.
"Then I will accept this commission as a brother, but I can only offer 80 Lindsay, okay?" Li Lian showed a happy expression.
"It's not a big problem, but since you came to me, you should be very well-informed. Do you mind if we change places to chat?" Carlin thought it was a bit small, but as an explorer with a lot of personal expenses, it can be eighty
Lindsay's savings are considered very rich.
"Uh, well-informed? Brother, you misunderstood, this is just a coincidence." Li Lian denied Karin's statement.
"Anyway, let's finalize the commission first and then let's talk slowly. Lilia, come here." Li Lian raised a hand and waved it a few times before shouting at a higher volume.
A red-haired girl holding a miniature magical spell cannon similar to the one used by Chester ran over shyly.
"It's okay, I'm just curious." Karin's voice was very low after that. "Oh my god..."
"This is my junior. The upgrade commission time is not long, only three days." Li Lian touched the girl's head.
"Oh... Miss Lilia's weapons are very special." Although Karin himself also used such weapons, he still gave the reaction of a normal person when meeting him for the first time. Perhaps more of it was the excitement of seeing a colleague who was rarely seen.
"Hello." The red-haired girl lowered her rosy face and hugged the strange weapon tightly like a bear to pay tribute to Karin.
"It's not too late, follow me quickly, Lilia." Li Lian walked towards the staff. There were not many people at this time, so there was no need to queue up.
"Hello, Miss. I am your companion on this upgrade mission. You can call me Carlin. What is the upgrade commission you received?" Whatever they do, Carlin just follows them.
"Good evening, Mr. Carlin." Lilia whispered hello but got the wrong time, so her face became even redder and she trotted off to find Li Lian.
[We’ll talk about it later.] Carlin followed them there, and there must be some procedures for being a certifier.
After that, Li Lian naturally submitted the commission that had been prepared for a second time. The wording of this commission was also very formal.
The clerk lady quickly completed a series of procedures. The counter lady also found Lilia's upgrade entrustment and showed it to Kalin. It was an ordinary subjugation entrustment and only needed Kalin's signature.
Carlin read the power of attorney carefully, but there was no noteworthy information on it. Even the lady at the counter couldn't find anything wrong with it, and Carlin certainly couldn't find any, so he picked up a pen and signed.
So the commission to defeat the Salt Bath Thunderbird will officially begin tomorrow. It is a kind of bird monster that can only be defeated safely by a team of intermediate explorers or an advanced explorer, but it cannot fly.
