With a clang, the heavy door of Longya Tavern was pushed open and hit the wall. The noisy and lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
The red-faced drunkards, the adventurers and mercenaries who feasted on the famous barbecue in the Dragon Tooth Tavern and drank heavily and talked loudly subconsciously turned to look at the door and found a handsome and calm young man with black hair standing in the blazing noon.
The sun slowly walked in. He was wearing a neat and decent light blue shirt, and hanging on his belt was a gorgeous and beautiful long sword that was more decorative than practical.
Sharp whistles sounded one after another, and the drunken drunkards burped and said: "What did we see? A handsome young aristocratic young master. Can his cute toys kill wild dogs?"
"Another boy who was poisoned by chivalry novels and dared to take risks with a ceremonial sword." Although the adventurers and mercenaries were not as unscrupulous as the drunkards, they still discussed this noble boy carefully. As a member of society,
In addition to awe and yearning for the nobles, they at the lower level also have unspeakable jealousy, especially when they see useless guys who can enjoy a high life just by relying on the glory of their ancestors.
Lucien walked past them calmly and walked towards the bar.
After more than three months of wonderful travel, Lucien arrived yesterday evening at the border town of Djibouti, a principality in the south-central part of the continent.
A sturdy bald adventurer looked at Lucien's arm, which was not slender but could not be called thick. He raised his arm exposed outside the leather armor, bent his elbow and shook the strong muscles: "I bet, with his
Poor thin arms. He probably doesn’t even have the strength to be a trainee knight squire. Tsk, imps full of fantasy often don’t inspire blood power in adventures like knight novels. Instead, they become the prey of bandits, wild wolves or goblins.”
"Hmph, is the power of a knight so easy to obtain? After more than ten years of adventure, I still only have the strength of a high-level knight's attendant." A short and stocky man who seemed to have dwarf blood said rather arrogantly and proudly,
"Of course, if he accepts my guidance, there may be hope of stimulating the power of blood. You know, Lord Newell of Héro City became a knight under my training."
The lifelong wish of most adventurers here is to inspire their bloodline to become knights, so even though they have heard Chris show off many times, they still can't help but look at him with envy, yearning, respect and lust, which makes him even more excited.
Happy.
Lucien turned a deaf ear to the comments and walked to sit on a high stool in front of the tavern owner. He was an elderly, burly old man.
"Dear guest, what do you want? Wine or barbecue?" The tavern owner with gray hair and aged eyes asked politely. He was not uncomfortable because of Lucien's clothes and temperament that were incompatible with this place.
Lucien nodded gently: "A glass of water, a barbecue, and a salad. In addition, I want to inquire about some things."
The central and southern parts of the continent are surrounded by mountains and densely covered with deep valleys. There are inaccessible forests everywhere, but they are not as rich in resources as other places. There are only timber and ordinary wild animals. It is the most barren and backward place in the entire continent. Often, even a village cannot be found.
There is less than one person who knows the written word. In addition, it is located in a safe area and no war has broken out for many years. Therefore, even if the bloodline is inspired in several countries here, they can only obtain the title of knight. They cannot directly obtain territory and noble status. They must
You can be canonized only after you have saved enough gold and bought enough land.
The County of Djibouti is like other countries in the central and southern part of the continent. The nobles can still rely on lumber camps, land and fresh prey to maintain a decent life. The civilian class is far inferior to Alto. Therefore, except for big cities, even small border areas like Longya
In the town, the adventurer's guild is also directly opened in the tavern, and according to Lucien's inquiries, the tavern owner in front of him is also the head of the local adventurer's guild. If you want to obtain information, he is the most suitable person.
"Wow, Bai Shui, you are such a pure and good boy."
"I suspect he hasn't started to grow hair yet. How dare a kid like this come out and take risks to stimulate the power of his bloodline?"
The drunkards burst into laughter, but Lucien remained unmoved and looked at the tavern owner calmly.
"No problem, dear guest, what do you want to know about? I will charge according to the value." The tavern owner asked the waiter to prepare the barbecue and salad, while he poured a glass of water and handed it to Lucien.
Lucien moistened his lips with white water: "I would like to inquire about the current location of Taylor Hunter and his wife. He was originally an official in the town of Bonn in the Principality of Violet. Nine years ago, he was treated by Baron Eric of the County of Djibouti.
Invited to serve as the affairs officer of his territory."
Taylor Hunter and his wife are the parents of the little girl Lucien met in the town of Bonn, the world of the dead. They were too sad after their daughter disappeared and chose to accept the invitation of a foreign lord and stay away from home. Since Lucien promised
Since I wanted to take the little girl's ashes home, I simply re-planned the journey to the Pearl of the Sea. Anyway, I enjoyed the trip the same way, and Lucien also enjoyed the flavors of different countries and the unique music of different places along the way.
The tavern owner shook his head without hesitation: "This kind of trivial matter is not within the scope of our intelligence. But I will tell you privately and for free that the affairs officer of Baron Eric is not Mr. Hunter. Maybe he has accepted another invitation. This
This kind of thing is too common. You can go to the nearest Coser City City Hall to check the records in this regard. This is a city belonging to Viscount Stanley, Lord of Baron Eric. If you still can't find it, you have to go to Baron Eric's.
I asked about the territory.”
"Thank you for your suggestion. Is there any noteworthy news on the mainland recently?" Lucien rode a carriage for ten days in the remote and deep mountains before he could resist the town of Longya. Along the way, there were only poor villages and sparsely populated villages.
There is no place to ask for information on the roads.
The tavern owner smiled and said: "Every message is worth one silver. Dear guest, do you want to hear it?"
"Ten messages, thank you." Lucien directly took out a Jintaler.
The glittering gold coins made the adventurers and mercenaries stunned. Instead of laughing at Lucien, they stared at him with complex eyes. As soon as they took action, it was a gold tower. They were worthy of being luxurious nobles. Two or three of them
It takes only a month to earn so much. Some guys are already considering whether to temporarily switch careers as bandits.
The barbecue was brought over, Lucien picked it up and took a bite. The delicious gravy immediately filled his mouth. It was no worse than Alto's high-end restaurant.
The tavern owner took out a pile of crumpled paper and read slowly: "More than three months ago, Alto, uh." He raised his head and glanced at Lucien slightly strangely, "The town of Bonn was destroyed by necromancy magic.
The most beautiful musician Sylvia and his father were attacked by a magician. The heroic knight Princess Natasha tried her best to kill the evil necromancer, but she was also seriously injured and recuperated in the monastery. It is said that Natasha
Princess Tasha broke through and became a Sky Knight in this battle."
"Haha, this is one of the rare exciting battles in the past ten years."
"Blood burning disease... No wonder Natasha was able to suppress it temporarily and turned out to be a Sky Knight." Lucien thought silently, "After a few months, this matter finally came out on its own initiative."
If becoming an official knight is a hurdle, then becoming a knight in the sky is an even more difficult hurdle. Since the knight’s life form has not been sublimated, although the knight has strong recovery and strength, it requires extreme physical consumption.
If you cannot break through, your lifespan will be shorter than that of ordinary knights. Of course, it is not difficult for a strong man with the strength of a great knight to obtain some magical plants, medicines, etc., and you can still live to be about a hundred years old. The Sky Knight has broken through the mortal body.
Limit, you can live at least two hundred years.
The next nine pieces of information were probably that there was another conflict with the heretics in the north, that several great lords of the Gusta Empire in the south began to recruit mercenaries, and seemed to be preparing for another internal war, and that a certain adventurer team discovered a group of people on the southern edge of the Dark Mountains.
An ancient ruins, a lot of treasures obtained, etc.
After listening to the information and finishing lunch, Lucien wiped his hands with a white handkerchief: "I am going to Corser City and need to hire guards and carriages."
Although Lucien's own strength is enough to support him to travel to the east of the mainland, it seems more troublesome to recruit mercenaries and other guards with enough money if he has an identity and can easily pass the checkpoints. Lucien does not want to waste his time on
Bandits, goblins and beasts who don't even have the strength to serve as knights and squires are better off as mercenaries, while they quietly analyze and learn other magics in the carriage. When you can enjoy life, you must know how to enjoy it.
During these more than three months of travel, Lucien has successively constructed five more first-level magics in his soul, reaching the current limit of soul strength. The other first-level magics can only be temporarily supported by casting materials, incantations, etc.
display.
The five one-ring magics are: Magic Missile, Sleep, Grease, Feather Fall and Colorful Jet.
And since most adventurers and mercenaries were unwilling to stray too far from familiar areas or families and would only accept escorts for a certain distance, especially the coachmen, Lucien had to re-hire them every once in a while.
"A very wise choice. Haha, you must know that the central and southern part of the continent is a place where many legends of vampires and black magicians are spread."
The tavern owner was obviously stunned. He also thought Lucien was a noble boy who went out on an adventure, but he quickly concealed his abnormality with a smile and pointed to the corner of the tavern, "Two of the three adventurers there are high-ranking people."
There is a warrior with the strength of a knight's attendant, and one is an archer with the strength of a knight's attendant, and he has a good reputation. Guest, you can talk to them. I will help you arrange the carriage driver. It takes eleven days to get to Koser City from here."
Although the forests in the central and southern part of the continent are not places that attract strong people, they are inaccessible and there are many terrifying legends about ancient castles in the mountains, underground tombs and evil witches.
Lucien followed the direction pointed by the tavern owner and saw three very calm adventurers. They were one man and two women. The man had thick arms and short hair. The two women looked similar and both had long ears that looked like elves.
, it’s just that one is mature and beautiful, leaning on a giant sword with both hands, and the other is young and pretty, with a delicate short bow on the table in front of her, they seem to be half-elf sisters.
They were listening intently to the troubadour singing the moving serenade, and from time to time they gently sang along to the beat.
