52. Seroda Village

The village of Seroda is the closest village to the city of Anrola in Tindesling.

The village is strategically located as a transit point between the city of Anrola and the border with the territory of Tindes, so although it has no special products, it is also very prosperous, and it is even large enough to expand into a small town. It's just that such a place is naturally prone to problems, and because it is only a village, the garrison strength naturally cannot keep up with the development, and it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons.

When Sean and Cecilia got out of the carriage, he felt at least a dozen malicious glances.

It's just that he doesn't care much about this, judging from the outfits of those people, Sean can easily guess the other party's occupation, although there may be some differences in ability, but with the Charles Saber in his hand, Sean will not take these ordinary people in his eyes. So far, the only thing that really made Sean feel a little threatening was the heavily armored knight Martin he saw last night.

The special advanced class is far from what he can compare to now, because the attribute point bonus ratio of the two sides is not the same starting line from the beginning.

"What are we doing here?" Cecilia asked with some curiosity, "Is the person you're looking for here?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken." Sean nodded.

Regarding Alfred's deeds, Sean only knows some things about him after he became famous, at that time he was already a fifth-order rank, obviously just a relatively ordinary advanced class, but the combat power he exerted was much stronger than that of the fifth-order special advanced players, and in that era, there were very few players who could hide the advanced class. It is precisely because of this that Sean's understanding of this NPC will be slightly deeper, so that he will know that Alfred was originally a Potoroa and lived in the village of Cerroda at the beginning.

He left his hometown in May 1833 and became a registered member of the Adventurers' Guild. Regarding his subjugation mission, it is a main quest involving the war between the Kingdom of Portoa and the Kingdom of Serian, and he must complete this main quest in the game before he can gain Alfred's favor, and then through a series of very complex intimacy cultivation, he can be able to follow.

There is only one NPC, but the number of players is very large, which naturally inevitably leads to various bloody PKs.

Sean dared to come to the future god of war now, naturally not on a whim, but after careful consideration, he decided to act.

In this world, although the copies in the original game are still retained, these copies are not there at the beginning, but they need to "pass" before they "happen", just like the previous copy of "Wandering Darkness", this copy will only be born after the black warrior comes to that small village. And before that, Sean also tried to dig up a treasure in his memory, but the excavation site was nothing, and then Sean learned through other ways that the family is not yet developed and is still in a state of despair, how can there be a treasure?

After that, Harley and Durune came to him as a guide. Sean is 100% sure that there was absolutely no such task in the game at the beginning - or not that there was none, but at that time there were no players who could complete it at all, in other words, in the history of the game's progression, Drune is a mortal figure, and this can also be seen from the current battle for the heir of the Tindes Domain.

Durune was completely at a disadvantage.

What happened next was to help the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce recover the obelisk. In the game, this happened as well, but it wasn't him who killed the dungeon first, but a player born in the Kingdom of Portoroa. But now in reality, there is no second player except Sean, so if he didn't take Durune across the Starfall Forest, then it would be impossible to help the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce recapture the obelisk. …,

And this series of changes all stems from Sean's desire for the two treasures in the territory of Tindes.

Crimson Flame and Bavarian Gauntlet crafting blueprints.

It's just that what Sean didn't know was that it was precisely because he helped the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce that Drune was temporarily safe.

But through the progress and changes in the plot of this series of missions, Sean can already conclude that he can definitely bring Alfret over now, without waiting for the war between the Kingdom of Portoroa and the Kingdom of Serian to break out in the future.

Of course, how to win over, this is a technical job.

Sean and Cecilia had just stepped into a hotel in the south of the village when five people followed.

The area of this hotel is not small, it is made up of six houses, and the entire first floor is the layout of the tavern, in which there are more than a dozen waitresses busy, most of them have a feeling of brightness when they see Sean, but when they see Cecilia who follows Sean, the eyes of these waitresses are also naturally dimmed.

The hotel has three floors, with the second and third floors occupied by the second and third floors, in addition to a tavern--restaurant on the ground floor. But the housing here is no more spacious than in Arthur City, with a single bed against the wall and a small bedside table in each room, not even a wardrobe, let alone a bathroom.

This made Sean very unaccustomed to this.

Although he knew that the hotels in many villages and towns on the Miracle Continent were in this pattern, if he wanted to take a bath, he could only go to the bathhouse, and it was not uncommon in the game at the beginning. But at that time, he was just borrowing this place as a safe offline location, how could it be possible to really live in this kind of place, and even if he came to this world, Sean also relied on his own efforts to get enough money to rent a house within three days, so this kind of humble living place, he really experienced it for the first time.

However, the room is simple, and of course there is the advantage of being simple, that is, the accommodation fee is cheap.

A small room like this costs five Portolua coins a night, and if you want to have breakfast included, it's only ten Portoroa copper coins. But of course, there was no meat or anything like that for breakfast, just three croissants and a large glass of hot milk.

Because of the overnight drive, Sean was a little tired at this time, so he asked for two rooms and some meat, all of which cost only more than twenty copper coins. He didn't take out gold and silver coins to pay the bill, but took out a handful of copper coins, counted twenty or so and handed them to the boss, and put the rest back in his pocket—this was the same thing he had exchanged with the coachman on the road.

Although he was not afraid of those with bad intentions, he did not have that much time to toss with them. It's good that he knows the truth about whether he has money or not, and there is no need to show off like an idiot.

And the truth was just as Sean expected, after seeing him take out these copper coins, three of the five people who had been following him took a turn in the tavern and chose to leave, only two of them remained unwillingly. Judging from the outfits of these two people, Sean knows that Dao should be a profession like a thief, and they don't have much courage in a head-to-head confrontation, so they can only do some petty theft.

Thinking of this, Sean sighed helplessly, dealing with these thieves is one of the most troublesome things.

But since they didn't want to leave, Sean didn't mind teaching them a memorable lesson.

After a brief breakfast, Cecilia was already rubbing her eyes sleepily, and Sean asked her to go back to her room to sleep while she sat at the bar.

"Guest, is there anything else you can do?" Seeing that Sean was still sitting here, the innkeeper who had been wiping his glass and preparing for the opening of the night finally spoke. …,

"I want to ask, do you know of a man named Alfred?" Sean asked with a smile, but the corner of his eye began to look at the surrounding situation.

He noticed that one of the thieves had gotten up and was heading for the stairs on the second floor.

The innkeeper didn't answer Sean's question, but smiled in a friendly way, and the action of wiping the wine glass in his hand did not change in the slightest.

Sean pulled out another handful of Portoroa copper coins from his pocket, about seventy or eighty of them, and placed the first one on the table.

The innkeeper was still smiling, and there was a little more disdain in his eyes.

Sean didn't care, and put a few more on it, making up for five.

The innkeeper glanced at Sean, a little anger between his eyebrows, and Sean's action was obviously insulting.

At this time, the thief had already walked up the stairs on the second floor, and the other thief looked a little struggling, and seemed to want to go upstairs, but for some reason, he did not act rashly, but still sat in his original position, responsible for staring at Sean.

"I'll take care of something first." Sean whispered, and at the same time added five more copper coins of Portoroa, "Boss help me take care of this money." ”

Ignoring the reactions of the innkeeper and the other thief, Sean got up and walked towards the second floor, where the large handful of copper coins in his hand were all thrown on the table, only the ten copper coins that Sean had picked out were neatly placed together, and the two piles of money formed a strange and stark contrast. At this time, in addition to the thief, there were four or five people on the first floor of the tavern, and when they saw the copper coins on the table, although they were not much, they were enough to buy them to get drunk for a few nights, and many of them were a little bright-eyed.

But at this time, the owner of the inn raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at several people in the hotel, and everyone was suddenly shocked, so they stopped looking at the money on the bar. But the innkeeper's brows were always furrowed, and his eyes looked at the second floor with a little more doubt and worry, and he could only see Sean's back flashing after stepping into the second floor.

After a while, the second floor was still as calm as ever, there was no sound of fighting or quarreling, and everything was a little eerily calm.

Just when the innkeeper couldn't sit still and wanted to take a look, Sean finally came down from the second floor. But at this moment, everyone looked surprised, because Sean was carrying a person in his hand, this person was the thief who had gone up to the second floor before, but at this time he was unknown whether he was alive or dead, like a dead dog was carried by Sean in his hand, and then saw Sean walk to the door of the hotel, and threw the thief out of the house with a flick of his hand.

When he returned, Sean's gaze swept over another thief, who for a moment had the illusion that he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly drank the glass of juice in front of him, put down the two copper coins, and immediately left the hotel.

By the time Sean returned to the bar again, the stack of ten copper coins had disappeared.

"Alfred, I'm afraid there aren't many people in this village who don't know about him." The innkeeper finally finished wiping a cup and gently put it away, "He may not be a good husband, but he is definitely a good father." ”

"Where can I find him?" Sean asked again.

"This information is a bit expensive." The innkeeper also saw that Sean was not simple, and after a little quiet thought, he realized that the question Sean asked just now was very standard, and it was indeed only worth ten copper coins.

Because he asked "do you know the way", not "do you know or not", there is an essential difference in meaning.

"How expensive?"

"A silver Portoroa coin."

Sean chuckled, the copper coin on the table had been put back in his pocket, replaced by a silver coin with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Portoroa on the bar.
