Section 17 Vichy Harbour
The group changed to a number of carriages, and after half a month, they finally arrived at the northernmost port of Vichy in the Plantagenet Empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is not an easy task to go from the old earth continent to the prosperous continent. Every year at the beginning of the year only, a trade freighter from the Rich Continent arrives at Vichy Harbour, and this ship will only stay in Vichy Harbour for two days before leaving, so in order not to miss it, everyone arrives at Vichy Harbour before the month of recovery.
"There are still eight days left before the month of recovery, and the arrival time of the trade freighters of the Prosperous Continent is not fixed, eight days at the earliest and thirty-eight days at the latest. So during this time, we stayed in Haiyue City until we left. β
After Moro finished speaking, he led everyone to the Bounty Guild set up in the center of the city.
- The Bounty Guild is a functional association shared by all knights who follow the rules of the kingdom. The state issues quests, and knights can take quests in the guild and receive corresponding rewards.
Moro brought everyone to the Bounty Guild, naturally not to take on the task, but because the Bounty Guild has the most luxurious guest house in the entire Haiyue City, as long as you have money, the services and accommodation facilities you get in the Bounty Guild are far more than other hotels in the city. I have to say, this is a guild where money is paramount.
As the elder of the Mun family, Moro naturally carries a lot of gold coins. Moro didn't value these currencies either, and when he arrived at the Bounty Guild, he paid all of Angel's dues.
"You are free to move around these days, but it is best to stay in the guild, lest the ship come and no one can be found. After Moro had said this, he went back to his room and took all the time to meditate.
Upon hearing that they were free to move, Alan and Erin glanced at each other, and then burst into a great surprise at the same time. The two bear children are like prisoners who have been released from the wind, eager to immediately embrace the air called 'freedom'. Alan's small eyes sparkled with excitement, and Erin couldn't stop jumping, but she paid more attention to Angel who was standing on the side.
"Brother Pat, let's go out for a stroll together! I've heard that Haiyue City is the largest trading port in China, where the special goods of various countries gather, and there is also a street that sells goods from other countries, and many people have found treasures there!" Erin said to Angel coquettishly, almost grabbing his arm and shaking it.
Angel looked at Erin with a bit of a headache. In the past month's journey, everyone has become familiar with each other, and Erin has become a lot bolder, the shyness when she first met is gone, and now she is still restrained from having no skin contact, and the rest of the coquettish and cute are all the same.
Even now, no matter how stupid Ingres is, he can see Erin's thoughts. He is also very incomprehensible, obviously he can fall in love with him after just getting along for a few days, and sure enough, the girl's feelings are difficult to understand.
It's just that he is still young now, and he is oppressed by the sword of the 'five-year covenant', and he really can't take care of anything else, so he can only try to keep his distance from Erin for his admiration, which is not only responsible for himself, but also respectful of Erin.
"No, I promised my mentor that I would practice my thinking every day, and I would go back to the house first, and then I would go next time. Angel gently refused, then went back to his room.
Erin pouted a little unhappily, and finally stomped her foot, and left the guild with a confused Allen.
When Angels entered the room, he did not immediately take out the training questions assigned by the instructor, but observed the room for a long time.
His room, on the seaside side, had a very large terrace from which he could see the busy Vichy harbour in the distance and the sparkling sea.
Condescendingly, looking at the vast array of beings in Vichy Harbor like ants, Ingres sighed at the prosperity of Sea Moon City on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden loneliness.
Looking to the south, through the hundreds of miles of grassland, Ingres seemed to see the mountains behind the grasslands, and the peaceful town hidden in the mountains, the place where he had lived for the first fourteen years, called 'home'.
"Brother, mentor......" Ingres whispered with a deep sadness that could not be dissolved.
In a blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.
With the arrival of the month of recovery, the temperature has obviously begun to rise, the sea areas that must pass through many routes have begun to thaw, and a large number of ocean-going ships have begun to appear in batches in Vichy harbor.
Moro hired a team of knights in the Bounty Guild and spent his days in the harbor keeping watch over the trade ships coming from the Continent. The Alan brothers and sisters have been playing crazy these days, buying a lot of things that they don't have, going out early and returning late every day, even if the weather is cold, they are not tired of it.
Angel hasn't been out of the house for the past few days, sorting out what he's learned in the inn, especially studying the puzzles Jon left him.
These puzzles require a lot of calculations and combine problems from multiple subjects. If any scholar on the earth sees it, they will also sigh at the wide range of subjects involved in this topic, and the difficulty is extremely high, even if each subject does not need to be intensively studied, it is difficult to make a breakthrough without the foresight of the all-encompassing public.
Jon was able to give these questions to Ingres, which also showed his confidence and importance in Ingres.
Ingres had been calculating since he left Pat Manor. More than a month had now passed, and he had only solved a quarter of the puzzle, which made him feel frustrated.
However, no matter how frustrated he is, he must solve these puzzles. Because these puzzles are related to something that the mentor left him. As long as you solve all the questions and get the final answer, you can know what the teacher left him.
On the second weekend of the recovery month, the weather was unusually clear. It seemed that the joy of melting ice made the port more lively than a few days ago, and Ingres thought that he had been staying at home for the past few days, and it would be okay to go out for a walk today.
So after so many days, Angel finally changed into civilian clothes to go out, sorted out his demeanor, put on a gentle smile on the external logo, and stepped out of the door.
The hall of the Bounty Guild is still busy, and as soon as you step here, there is a strong smell of sweat. Most of the people who mingle here are knights who lick the knife every day, and even if there are heroic female knights, most of them are just clean and exposed faces, as for the smell of the body...... I don't care too much about it.
Angel subconsciously frowned, but soon remembered that this was no longer Gru Town, without the shade of his brother, he was not even a nobleman outside, he could only be regarded as a nobleman's family. Thinking of this, Ingres's brow furrowed again, and he continued to smile harmlessly from humans and animals.
Ordering a glass of betel rum and barbecue in the small wine shop on the side of the hall, Ingres tasted the wine lightly, not as good as the milk wine of the manor, only a pungent fermented taste.
Ingres ate the barbecue while his ears were pointed, listening to the gossip of the adventurers around him.
ββIn a liquor shop with a mixture of dragons and snakes, it is easiest to hear some unique news. This is the experience that Ingres once summed up when he listened to Jon talk about the martial arts novels about the earth.
He has too little experience away from home, so he doesn't know whether many of the lessons he learned from the book are correct or not. But that didn't stop him from happily spying on the adventurers' conversations, and even if many of them were purely bragging, he listened with relish.
"Hehe, have you heard? Hailan Country, which is at war with the Empire, has recently had a big incident! Many Grand Dukes have died inexplicably, and the death is so miserable that the knights who are scared to go to the garrison are panicking in ......the middle of the night."
"Our guild's first mercenary knights, the Knights of the Glorious Goldfinch, haven't shown up for months. Tell me, could they have done the tragedy of Hailan Country?" A table of adventurers next to Angel gossiped about the frontline battle thousands of miles away: "Do you remember, half a year ago, the Lord of the Imperial Capital personally went to the Bounty Guild to issue the task of assassinating the commander of Hailan Kingdom, I guess, these two things must be related!"
The voices of the adventurers are very loud, and some of them deliberately raise their voices in order to show their personal merits. Therefore, this person's voice was heard by almost the entire wine shop.
Everyone agrees that one side is the enemy country and the other side is the mercenary group of their own guild, and their bias is undoubtedly one-sided.
Just as the drunken face was being discussed, a cold voice like ice was embedded in it: "Knights of the Glorious Golden Finch, hmph, your knowledge is too shallow, let me tell you, the Hailan tragedy was definitely not done by the Glorious Golden Finch, and their strength is not so strong!"
The person who spoke was wearing a long aqua blue robe with silver lines embroidered on the edge, which was worth a lot of money at first glance.
"How do you talk!"
"Who are you? Dare to say that the Shining Goldfinch, do you know what the consequences are!"
Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and their eyes were fierce.
"Hey? It's you again! Don't think that you are really rampant in the Golden Bird Empire with the certificate of the Hailan Chamber of Commerce! You are a Hailan person, you can't do business in our country with your tail between your legs, and you dare to interject, it seems that you don't want to live anymore!"
The Hailan merchant glanced at him coldly, and more than a dozen heavily armed knights around him immediately surrounded him to protect him.
The reckless man alone is naturally no match for the other party's more than ten knight guards, but this is the territory of the Golden Finch Empire, many knights saw the situation in front of them, and immediately stood beside the reckless man, even if the reckless man was reckless, it was also the people of the Golden Finch Empire, and it was not the turn of the people of the Hailan Kingdom to teach a lesson!
On both sides were more than a dozen strong men in armor, and under the confrontation, the atmosphere of the wine shop seemed to solidify for a while.
