Roland City, also known as the City of Fertility, is located in the northwest of Qingfeng Plain. It is blessed with fertile land and has hundreds of farms, large and small. The food produced here every year is enough to feed the entire Qingfeng Plain. Every autumn, there are always countless
Carriages are waiting in a long queue outside Roland City, and even many small human countries in the surrounding area, as well as the two major races of elves and dwarves, will secretly send people to contact them.
As the carts of food were transported out, huge amounts of money and resources also flowed into the City of Fertility like running water. This has been the case since the Dark Ages. Over the past 1,300 years, the City of Fertility has
I'm afraid no one can tell how much wealth he has accumulated.
Araso inherited the position of city lord when he was twenty-four years old. Today, more than twenty years have passed. In the past twenty years, Araso relied on his shrewd mind to manage the entire city of abundance.
To be in order, this is an incredible thing in the eyes of many people. When Arathor inherited the position of city lord, the entire City of Fertility was in chaos. The previous city lord, old Arathor, had just passed away, and a group of subordinates were all busy.
In the struggle for power and profit, the city of Fertility is like a piece of loose sand. At the same time, most of the surrounding major forces are eyeing this fertile land.
At that time, almost everyone was waiting to see Alaso's joke. Several surrounding city lords even made a bet on this matter. The bet was whether Alaso could last in this position for a month. At that time, I was afraid that no one could
Unexpectedly, Arasso not only survived this month, but also survived exceptionally well. After taking the position of city lord, Araso only did one thing, which was to open the city gate and usher in a powerful army.
The elf army, this elf army only took ten days to suppress the rebellion in Roland City, and for more than twenty years, it has always deterred the surrounding forces that were ready to take action.
No one knows where this elven army came from, and no one knows why Arathor can control them. In short, it was with this elven army that Arathor secured Roland's position even though everyone was not optimistic about it.
He took the position of city lord, and for the next twenty years, he firmly controlled the City of Plenty in his own hands.
These stories were all heard from Senna when Lin Li was on the road...
More than a dozen carriages entered Roland City and headed straight for the mercenary group's station. Only then did Lin Li know that the mercenary group under Sena had only been established for two weeks, and there was not even one elephant.
There is no such name, let alone the residence. Several houses were built in the northwest corner of Roland City. The most spacious one in the middle became a conference room and reception room, and the two rooms next to it were distributed to the members.
Rest, of course, is bound to be crowded. Generally speaking, it is good if four or five group members can be assigned to a room. Even Senna, as the group leader, has to squeeze into a room with others.
But Senna is very confident. He believes that it won't take long for him to get out of this embarrassing predicament...
Because just when he entered the door, Senna heard the young magician say to him: "Sena, if you are free in the afternoon, find a time to send these two siblings back to the city lord's palace. Remember, it is
In the name of your mercenary group, you can make up your own mind as to what requirements you want to make, but don’t forget to help me get one million gold coins of food, I need to use them in exchange for something."
The moment he heard this sentence, Senna's first reaction was - did I hear it wrong?
How can this be……
What does Arathor City Lord's bounty mean? As a Roland, how could Senna not know? This means almost everything, whether it is money or power, as long as you can think of it, Arathor City Lord can do it for you.
I can do it, Senna can't believe it no matter what, there are still people in this world who would refuse such an opportunity. This is an opportunity that everyone dreams of, and no normal person can refuse it...
But just now Sena clearly heard that the young magician named Fei Lei easily gave this opportunity to himself. Although he made a request for one million gold coins in food, in Sena's view, this
It doesn’t count as a request at all. You must know that the person he rescued was the son of the lord of Roland City. Roland City is also known as the City of Fertility. It has always been famous for its abundant food. One million gold coins of food can only fill a thousand carriages at most.
, a full calculation is the annual output of ten farms, and there are hundreds of such farms on the land of Roland City!
After listening to Lin Li's words, Senna has been in a state of despair. He seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. His expression is blank and his eyes are dull. At the same time, there is inexplicable excitement in his mind. It feels like
It's like a beggar who suddenly gets a large amount of money. He is worried that the money will suddenly fly away, and he also has a headache about how to spend it.
"Actually, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you want to hear it..."
"Ah?" This voice startled Senna. When he raised his head and saw that the young magician who was talking to him was the young magician who gave him the opportunity, he nodded in embarrassment: "Fery Magic
Master, how dare Senna disobey..."
"No, no, no, this is not an order, it's just a little suggestion. In fact, I personally think it's better not to ask for money, although money is indeed very important to adventurers, and it can indeed
Help you develop the mercenary group, but money is actually just the icing on the cake in many cases and does not have decisive significance. If possible, you'd better ask for some privileges, such as from retired soldiers
The right to recruit members, such as the right to request military assistance when completing tasks. By the way, it is actually a good idea to ask the city lord to send a group of instructors to help you train the members. In short, try to make your mercenary group as strong as possible...
…”
When Lin Li said these words, Senna had been listening quietly. Unlike before, whenever Lin Li said one sentence, he would definitely flatter him at least three times.
"Let me tell you something that you may not like to hear. When I went to the ruins of Xiaya Town this time, I felt really bad about your group of people. They were simply unable to deal with the real danger. If you really ask City Lord Roland
If you make a huge fortune, then you are probably not far from disaster, because you simply cannot deal with those who covet your wealth. The Qingfeng Plain is originally a world of the jungle, and only those who are strong enough can win the respect of others.
, I don’t want to say more even if it’s far away, just take a look at Jason for yourself. It’s no exaggeration to say that today’s Jason can still live a relaxed and happy life in Doland even if he doesn’t have a single coin on his body.
Why? It’s because of his strength. He and his two companions are one of the most outstanding adventure teams in the entire Doland. No one dares to ignore their existence, not even the Lord of Doland. I said
Captain Cena, do you really not want to have Jason’s status?”
"I think I understand, Magician Ferre..." Senna stood there, dazed for a full minute, and then slowly raised his head. At this time, the expression on his face was indeed surprisingly sincere: "Thank you.
Your advice."
"Haha, I can't afford to give you any advice. This is just a small suggestion. As for what to do, it's up to you to make your own decision." After saying what he wanted to say, Lin Li seemed to think of this.
It was as if everything had been forgotten, and it was never mentioned again from beginning to end.
Of course, Lin Li can forget it, but Senna dare not forget it.
What the young magician just said made him tremble with fear. Before that, he had thought about using this request in exchange for a huge fortune, and he had also thought about using this request in exchange for a huge fortune.
Rights, but he had never thought about what he would do to keep it all after he got it. You must know that this is the Qingfeng Plain, and even Arasso's father, the dignified Lord Roland, would die at home inexplicably.
Not to mention yourself?
Lin Li glanced at the thoughtful Senna, with a satisfied smile on his face. The road had been pointed out to him. Whether he could get through it or not could only depend on his own luck.
Anyway, for me, this is just a matter of words. Even if Senna really fails to take this path, he has nothing to lose. But what if he really succeeds and establishes a powerful mercenary force?
A mercenary group can bring you huge help. After all, a magic guild is a magic guild. There are many things that are inconvenient to do in person. Therefore, almost every magic guild will maintain a good relationship with a mercenary group.
The same is true for the Los Magic Guild, and the same is true for the Olanna Magic Guild. Anyway, they must maintain a good relationship with a mercenary group, so naturally the more familiar the mercenary group is, the better...
Senna is quite familiar with the group of people under him, but unfortunately they are still far behind in terms of strength. Let alone letting them do things for him, it is still a question whether they can protect themselves with such a group of tenth-level adventurers.
Lin Li thought about it and decided to just give them the reward this time. Anyway, for him, except for that batch of food, other things were dispensable. He couldn't get the City Lord Roland he wanted.
Come out, most of the things you can take out are things that you don't like. It's better to give them to Senna as a favor, giving him a chance to grow and develop, and at the same time, accumulate some character for yourself. If you have something to do in the future, you can find Senna.
On the head, does he still have the nerve to refuse?
This is a real win-win, especially for Senna. This is definitely a piece of pie falling from the sky. After getting Lin Li's promise, Senna could not even close his mouth with laughter. He had been feeling light all morning. Who did he meet?
They all had creepy smiles on their faces, so much so that after lunch, Lin Li finally couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice: "Commander Sena, shouldn't it be time for you to get down to business?"
"Oh, yes, yes..." After hearing what Lin Li said, Senna, who had been laughing so hard that the flowers were blooming all morning, suddenly came to his senses. Then he quickly changed his clothes, called a carriage, and took his two siblings with him.
He went straight to the city lord's palace.
After Senna left, Lin Li also started to get bored. He couldn't help it. There were only a few people in the mercenary group's station, but when they saw him, they were as scared to death as if they had seen a ghost. Just say these two sentences.
He was so nervous that he didn't know what he thought he had done to them. Jason, the only one who dared to say a few words to him, also had a strange look on his face, which made Lin Li extremely annoyed and walked around the station.
After that, he simply called Nofeile and Uyfalusi over.
"You two, if nothing happens, just go out with me for a walk."
"Oh..." How big a deal can two undead creatures be? Of course, what he says is what he says...
In this way, Lin Li took a high-level vampire and a lich, and asked someone from the station to lead the way. The four of them walked onto the streets of Roland City in such a swagger. From the street, it seemed that Roland City and Doland
There is no difference. They are all buildings left over from the Dark Ages, with a strong aura of high elves. Even all areas are mostly the same. After leaving the mercenary group station, about two hundred meters south, there is
Countless adventurers come in and out of the Adventurer's Guild. From one street to the main door of the Adventurer's Guild, the streets are crowded with various shops, some selling weapons, some selling armor, and some selling magic items.
, there are people selling poisons and hidden weapons... In short, almost anything that adventurers will use can be found on this street.
"Gilded Rose?" Just after turning the corner, Lin Li saw this familiar name. He couldn't help but feel a little funny for a moment. It seemed that Ysela's business was indeed very big, even in Roland City, which was far away in Qingfeng Plains.
None of them escaped the vicious hands of the Mannes family.
"Magic Ferre, you have really good vision..." The one who was called out by Lin Li to lead the way was probably the one who was least afraid of Lin Li among the many adventurers in the mercenary group. This guy's name was Barov, a level 10
Thief, but it's strange to say that this guy is a thief, but he doesn't have the wretched temperament of a thief at all. He really seemed to be a qualified tour guide after pointing and introducing him along the way. At this time, when he arrived at the door of the Gilded Rose, Barov
He was even more frothing at the mouth and boasted: "Gilded Rose is the best magic equipment store in Roland City. Although the price is a little more expensive, the items sold are all really good ones. How about Fei Lei Magician?"
Would you like to go in and have a look? Don't worry about the price. Captain Senna knows the boss here. If you like something, just keep the name of Captain Sena. I guarantee that I can give you the best price..."
"..." Lin Li touched his nose, feeling really embarrassed about Barov. In fact, he had a little friendship with the boss of Gilded Rose...
Naturally, there is no need to look at the gilded roses, because no one here knows better than Lin Li that all their best things are left in Garros, and Lin Li himself is one of their biggest customers...
"By the way, Barov, besides Gilded Rose, is there any other place in Roland City where you can sell magic equipment?"
"It's hard to say..." Barov hesitated for a moment: "I can only try my luck..."
"oh?"
"It's like this, Magician Feyre, not far ahead, there is a consignment shop that has been operating for hundreds of years. Many adventurers who are short of money like to put things there for consignment. Over time, a consignment shop has formed.
It’s not a small market. By the way, if the adventurers are willing, you can sell things to them and they will be responsible for selling them themselves..."
"..." Lin Li touched his nose again. Isn't this the legendary business that as long as you have a good vision, you can definitely make a profit without losing money - a pawn shop?
"Let's go and have a look!"
After coming to Anriel's world for so long, he had never seen anything like a pawn shop. Lin Li couldn't help but be very interested for a moment. He took two undead creatures and a thief and hurriedly walked to the opposite side of the access road.
The place Barov mentioned was not too far away. After a group of four people turned around two streets, they soon saw a low building. This building was located at the corner of the street, with a door at the door.
At the densely populated three-way intersection, most of the pedestrians coming and going would look around. Looking from where Lin Li was now, he saw a row of marble steps and two open doors. From time to time, there were people in twos and threes inside the doors.
Adventurers came in and out, and there were even a few strong men among them. At least from Lin Li's perspective, most of these people were around level 15. Although they were not as strong as Jason, they were
Among ordinary adventurers, this is definitely a rare talent.
As soon as the group walked through the door, someone warmly greeted them. This was a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Good afternoon, four distinguished guests. Is there anything I can do for you? By the way, before that, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brooke, one of the persons in charge of Time Mailing House. Look at the four
They look like adventurers, right? If the four of you want to increase your strength, you must have gone to the right place. Our time consignment house provides a variety of weapons, armor, and magic equipment..."
"The magic equipment is not needed for the time being, but my companion just lacks a weapon..." Lin Li pointed to Novel beside him: "I wonder if Mr. Brooke has anything to introduce?"
"Weapons? There are so many... so many!" The smile on Brooke's face suddenly became exaggerated. As he led everyone inside, he talked non-stop: "We just happened to have some luck these days.
I bought a batch of weapons. By the way, the four of you at the Marathon Forge have heard of them, right? These weapons are the fine products produced by the Marathon Forge. What do you think? Do you want me to take you to see them?
"
"Maraton Forge?" Lin Li stopped when he heard the name, and his face suddenly darkened: "Mr. Brooke, are you kidding me? The things from Maraton Forge are
, it’s okay to use it for the soldiers guarding the city, but wouldn’t it be too perfunctory to use it for my companion? Can the equipment they forged split open the bodies of monsters and block magic attacks?”
"This..." When asked by Lin Li, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He knew that this time he was probably meeting an expert. Although the weapons and armor of Marathon Forge were famous throughout the Kingdom of France,
, but I am afraid that only a few people know that their truly elite equipment is only provided to the three major imperial guards. What they usually sell is only second-rate equipment, although it is not as bad as the other party said.
It is used by the guards defending the city, but in the hands of adventurers above level 10, it really cannot exert its due power...
However, the middle-aged man is experienced after all. Although the trick was exposed on the spot, the look on his face did not appear to be very panic. He just showed a bit of embarrassment and showed an apologetic smile, which was considered to have exposed the matter.
Well, as the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. The other person's smile can be regarded as an apology. Naturally, Lin Li couldn't continue to pursue it. Just when he was about to listen to his explanation, an unusually harsh voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Holy shit, who is this bastard with such a loud tone? Even the equipment produced by the Marathon Forge can only be used by soldiers defending the city. Then I really don't know what kind of equipment is needed.
If you can afford it, how about you take it out and let me open my eyes?"
"..." Lin Li stood there, stunned for ten seconds. He was really angry and funny for a moment. It had been almost a year since he came to Anriel's world, and he had made many enemies and had many enemies.
Conflict, but this is the first time I have seen a guy like me who speaks out when there is injustice on the road...
No...not the first time...
As soon as Lin Li turned around, he knew he was wrong.
Standing behind him is a young man in his twenties. He looks chubby, short and fat. He is wearing a shining silver armor. He has taken off his helmet and is holding it with his right hand.
, from a distance, it looks like a big winter melon is taking a small winter melon out for a walk...
"Damn, it turns out it's you, you bastard!" Before Lin Li could say anything, Rasorik on the opposite side was already yelling like a pig: "Okay, okay, why can't I find it in Doland?"
As for you, it turns out you are hiding in Roland City. Why, you also know how powerful your uncle Rasolik is, so you knew how to hide first? Let me tell you, hiding is useless, you... you guys,
Catch this bastard!"
While Rathoric shouted to his followers at the top of his lungs, he quietly took a few steps back...
It's a pity that those followers are not stupid. When they were in Doland that day, they heard what Master Gaza said with their own ears. The guy in the black cloak was at least level seventeen. Are you kidding me? Seventeen
You're such a monster and you ask us to go up there and die, why the hell don't you go up yourself?
"Forget it, I'll let you go first..." Rathoric shouted there for a long time, but several of his followers didn't even move. Even the stupidest people knew that something was wrong, so they had to stay aside at the moment.
Saying harsh words, he took back the order to arrest people...
"Shut up..." Lin Li glanced at Rasolik from a distance and was no longer interested in paying attention to the shining silver melon. He just smiled and said sorry to Brooke beside him: "I'm sorry.
, I was delayed by this guy. How about it, Mr. Brooke, do you have any suitable equipment to introduce to my companion?"
