For the next few days, Sean was along the borders of the Duchy of Northern Lens, and he did not enter the villages and towns at will, except for basic purchases. But what made Sean feel very depressed was that the situation along the way was so calm that he didn't even encounter a single beast, let alone the likes of Warcraft.

And in the absence of a fight, Sean found that it was impossible for his body to recover to the lower level of silver, let alone absorbing the power of the void. This greatly slowed down the growth of his strength, which was not the result that Sean wanted, especially after discovering how to quickly restore his strength, Sean really didn't want to continue such inefficient growth.

After a short period of thought, Sean decided to enter the Duchy of Northern Lens.

Because he found that it was not a way to continue to advance along the border line like this, after all, the Northern Lonely Tower was located some further north of the Northern Duchy Federation, and if he didn't use the teleportation magic array, let alone four months, he might not be able to reach it in a year.

Larne is a border city chosen by Sean to be located in the Duchy of Northern Lens.

The city was originally built as a fortress, but with the establishment of the Northern Duchy Commonwealth, a relatively long period of peace was ushered in. During this period of peace, the fortress became a symbol of friendship with the Central Powers in the Duchy of Northern Lens, which ordered the dismantling of the associated defenses. It was not until later, when the conflicts between the principalities resumed, that the fortress, which had been closed for decades, was reopened, but by this time the fortress had developed a certain degree of prosperity and plasticity, so the fortress was transformed into a fortress city.

This is the Duchy of Northern Lens. The defense strength and the size of the city are second only to the large cities under the royal capital, and they are under the direct jurisdiction of the Grand Duke of Northern Lens.

The Legion of the North Wind stationed here is the most elite legion in the Duchy of Northern Lens. At the same time, it is also one of the ten sixth-level legions of the entire Northern Duchy Federation. After all, the location of Larne is very important - it almost looks like a protruding sharp horn, driven like a nail into the side of a traffic artery. This artery was a gateway to the trade routes of the four principalities, which meant that the city of Larne would threaten the borders of the other three principalities in wartime.

When Sean entered the city, the first thing he felt was a very unique high-pressure rhythm atmosphere.

Pedestrians on the road are always in a hurry, and they may occasionally enter a certain store to buy something, but the time does not stay long, because they can always know what they want to buy at the first time, and then quickly complete the checkout and leave the process. Occasionally, I'll stop by to see something else, but it won't be long. Because they often show their interest in something, a clerk will come forward to negotiate, and then the two sides will quickly reach a consensus: either happily pay the bill and pick up the goods, or helplessly shake their heads and leave.

If that's all it takes, it's just a feeling of a fast-paced life at best.

But Sean also noticed that there were so many patrols in the city that three or four groups of five patrols could be seen crossing by on almost the same street. These guards all have their own patrol paths, and these patrol paths may cross each other, but because of the extremely strong time difference, these patrol guards will never stop because of the overlapping patrol paths.

The looks of the guards. Always so strict and conscientious, and obviously very experienced veterans - not in terms of their experience in combat, but in the experience of policing. Because Sean saw that there were two groups of mercenaries who had clashed for some reason, a team of patrol guards stepped forward. It only took a few minutes to resolve the conflict: one of the mercenaries followed the guards with their heads bowed, while the other turned away with a smug look on their faces.

This kind of conflict and contradiction between mercenaries is changed to another city. Even Void City would cause a commotion, and it was tempting to solve the problem so neatly. It's the first time Sean has seen it.

And this makes Sean can't help but pay more attention to the mercenaries and adventurers who enter the city.

And then soon, Sean found out. Whether they're mercenaries or adventurers, they're no different from the city's inhabitants. Their destination when they enter the city is very clear: the mercenaries will always divide into two groups, one group will go to the mercenary guild to see what they are carrying to obviously hand over the task, and the other group will go to some inn or tavern, seemingly to prepare food for their companions or to rest; As for the adventurers, they will enter the adventurer's guild in a unified manner, and it will only take a short time for them to come out again, and after hugging each other in the adventurer's guild, they will leave separately, obviously this time the mission has ended.

The whole city looks like a sophisticated machine that is running at high efficiency.

An aura of extreme apathy and a strong sense of purpose pervades the city. And it seems that the people who live here, whether civilians, merchants, guards, adventurers, mercenaries, or mercenaries, have obviously become accustomed to this sense of efficiency and extremely strong rhythm of coming and going.

There is no one like Sean standing at the gate of the city and observing the pedestrians of the entire city for more than half an hour.

"Rookie." Someone suddenly shouted.

I don't know why, Sean's instinct sued him, and the other party was calling him. Sean quickly turned around and saw a thin old man with his legs crossed rapidly, running towards him at a unique frequency.

"Is there something wrong?" Sean's heart was a little weird, but he still asked politely.

"Hey, new here." The old man smiled and stopped very casually, "Don't ask me why I know, because there are always a few rookies who come here every month." They all come here to find some work, but some are lucky enough to find it quickly, and some are unlucky and don't know what they can do. …… Hey rookie, I'm free of charge. For the next message, you need to charge. ”

"Is this a free message?" Sean couldn't laugh or cry.

"Of course. I'm reminding you that Larne is not a philanthropic city. The old man nodded as a matter of course. Mercenaries go to the Mercenary Guild, adventurers go to the Adventurers' Guild, there will always be some quests issued, as long as you are willing to contribute, you can always find a job. …… Here's a bonus reminder of that free insight. ”

Sean raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So, Your Excellency, you are the guide?" ”

"Clever lad." The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, but from now on, I will charge for your questions." Depending on the importance of your problem. Fees also vary, starting at one silver coin, and the more detailed information you need, the more expensive the fee will be. ”

A guide is a characteristic part-time job belonging to the Thieves' Guild, and usually requires a very detailed knowledge of a city. They don't need to be very powerful, but they have to be extremely good at gathering intelligence, otherwise they are not qualified to be guides.

Sean knew that the thin old man in front of him was probably not a simple person.

Because he noticed that there were actually quite a few guides around. But from the moment the old man came to him, the other guides chose to give up.

"I want to know the difference between the information you and the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild can provide." Sean thought for a moment, then asked the first question. "If I'm not mistaken, the rule of the guide is half the price of the first piece of information."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then began to look Sean up and down. The moment his eyes narrowed slightly, Sean even had a tingling sensation in his scalp tingling, which was a danger signal. But Sean couldn't see it. What is there about this old man who can threaten him, he doesn't have any martial arts aura on him at all.

"Looks like I'm out of sight." The old man quickly retracted his expression. The sense of danger in Sean's body also disappeared, "Half price, a brief intel charges one gold coin, if you want a more detailed and comprehensive explanation, it is five gold coins." Which do you want? ”

"Five gold coins." Sean spoke, taking out five gold coins and handing them to the old man.

"The information and tasks I can provide you with are far more, more extensive, and more detailed than the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer's Guild. I can even make assignment recommendations based on your abilities after an assessment of you, for an additional fee. However, with my recommendation, I can guarantee that you will not encounter obstacles in any kind of mission you accept in this city, even if you are only the strength of the Bronze Realm. On top of that, I can help you with any information you want, and I can even give you a relevant analysis of the situation, which is also available for an additional fee. But I can at least assure you that you're getting your money's worth. ”

"Hmm......" Sean groaned, touching his chin before speaking again, "If I just asked for a brief piece of information, how would you answer?" ”

The old man looked at Sean with a smirk.

Sean reluctantly took out a gold coin and handed it to the old man.

"This is the second piece of information, it's not half price." The old man laughed, so Sean could only take another gold coin and hand it to the old man, "I can provide you with relevant information and tasks, and even recommend missions based on your abilities." Of course, I can also collect the information you need for you and help you analyze it. However, I have to charge extra for both services. ”

"I see." After listening to the detailed comparison of the two types of information, Sean had an understanding in his heart, "Detailed information will give you additional key hints, while brief information you will not say the most critical content." …… Well, you're getting your money's worth. ”

"So, clever lad, what help do you need from me, an old man?"

"I want to know which faction the God of War Church in Larne City is directly affiliated with the God of War Knights." (To be continued......)

PS: The doctor said that the hand was overstrained by working under high pressure for a long time. Think about it, I've changed 35W words this month.,It's almost equivalent to the amount of updates in the first half of last year.,It's really a little too high-intensity.,Ahaha...... But rest assured, since the doctor didn't seal me, then there must be nothing wrong, and the hot compress treatment effect is not bad now. I continue to update the code word.,But the fifth is more likely to be past twelve o'clock.,It's a little delayed today.,I'm sorry.。
