Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 61 The Port City of Vikz

Vikz, located in the territory of the Duchy of Sabbath, is famous as the starting point of the ocean-going route to the southeast of the continent.

The narrow entrance to the sea on the east side of the port, and the fact that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, forms the unique topography of the port surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side.

In addition, due to the fact that Vikz is located in the south, the climate is humid and hot, the port does not freeze all year round, and ships can enter and exit freely after paying a small number of fees, all kinds of excellent conditions make this fortress city built as a garrison for the Royal Navy to rest eventually become the largest port of the Duchy of Sabbath, and the goods and goods that Vikz handles every year account for more than half of the Principality's maritime trade.

Safety, convenience, and abundant rewards drove the maritime merchants to sail through the rough seas in huge fleets of ocean-going ships, selling gifts from the Orient of the continent to coastal cities everywhere, and then bringing back local specialty goods.

Of course, the Endless Sea is not always peaceful, and there are many merchant ships that are swallowed up by monstrous waves every year, in addition to the endless emergence of huge pirates and ferocious sea tribes, the death rate of maritime trade remains high.

Quite high-risk naturally has corresponding benefits, ocean trade brings a lot of trade dividends to the principality every year, commercial tax income accounts for more than one-third of the province, high-risk trade has given birth to a prosperous mercenary industry, mercenaries from all over the world gather here, in addition to making Vicz's prosperity better, the mercenary scattered lifestyle undoubtedly brings a lot of trouble to the sheriff here.

"Let me give up, let me give up, what's so nice to see! What are you doing here? Do you want to be beaten?"

In the noisy crowd, the sheriff 'lame' waved a wooden stick the thickness of his arm, pretending to drive away the crowd in front of him.

Seeing that a sheriff was coming, the people who were still in a group at the entrance of the mercenary union to watch the excitement suddenly dispersed, and the guild hall full of people suddenly became a lot empty.

However, not everyone left here obediently, around the only few round tables full of stains in the hall, there were several big men who looked like mercenaries belonging to the same mercenary group, the inferior leather armor hung loosely on them, with a fierce appearance of horizontal flesh, and the bald man led by him squatted on the round table, looking at several young people on the other side of the counter unscrupulously, and his greedy eyes made the 'lame' back cold.

You must know that although there are some conventions and rules, the boundary between mercenaries and robbers is not as clear as imagined, and in some principalities where supervision is not so strict, mercenary groups are even filled with a large number of fugitives, wanderers, and cultists.

Even some large mercenary groups don't really mind playing the role of robbers halfway through when they run into some employers who are stupid and have a lot of money.

I don't know what good things are in those young people, which can make the mercenary group with a good reputation in the outside world use their crooked brains? It looks like they even want to end up in person? But no matter what it is, it doesn't have much to do with me, since it's over, let's go to the boss for a drink.

With such thoughts, he glanced at the group of boys and girls who seemed to know nothing about it with pity, and the 'lame' hummed a little bend and was about to leave, anyway, the crowd blocking the city road had dispersed, and his work was completed.

It's a pity that it backfired, the cries of the lame leg just now to drive away the crowd still attracted the attention of the teenagers, and the brown-haired teenager who was negotiating with the clerk with a bitter face suddenly came to his senses, his trademark pointed ears trembled, and a wicked smile involuntarily hung on the corners of his mouth.

This group of boys and girls is naturally Roger and the others who have not been away from the Necromantic Underworld for a long time. Back to the day three months ago, although according to the magic model left by Fina, Roger managed to reverse the spatial structure of the repository and reorganize the portal that connected the pan-continent. However, due to the uncertainty of the collapse of the space and other factors, no matter how anxious everyone is, they need to wait for the portal to be completely stabilized before they can go to the pan-continent, and Roger simply uses this spare time to mobilize the people of the True Knowledge Society and the rescued slaves to find their mission goal in the ruins, the stone tablet from the gods.

After an unexpected fruitless search in the storehouse, Roger thought that the next search would be a protracted project, after all, finding a stone slab in the huge Amanda ruins was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, and Roger was mentally prepared to bear the title of temporary worker for a long time.

However, surprises always appear inadvertently, or not long after Roger handed over the search to the new security captain Tariq, only five minutes to be exact, Tariq handed the broken slate to Roger with a strange face, and it was only then that Roger knew the reason why the 'trend' told him to keep Tariq, and this slate had already been picked up by him and used as a corner of the table!

Until the elusive Andrea wagged her tail and left with the slate in her mouth, Roger was sighing, that black cat looked at me with a look of disdain, hey, how did a cat show such a complicated expression on his face, 'You almost didn't complete such a simple task, you might as well just die'?!

Regardless of how Roger overcame the black history of being despised by a cat, he managed to obtain the official authority of the Ranger after handing over the tablet to Andrea, and Roger was a true agent of the gods.

"Mr. Sheriff!" Taking advantage of the moment of turning around, Roger hurriedly squeezed out a few tears, put his hand to his mouth, and waved in the direction of the lame leg and shouted, "Mr. Sheriff, this way, please come over here!"

While Roger turned his head and shouted, he also tried his best to show a tearful look, wanting to ignore the lame soles of his feet that he left quickly, seeing that the crowd that had been dispersed had a tendency to surround him, he cursed secretly, and could only turn back to the guild counter, and grabbed Roger's collar with an impatient face, the meaning of intimidation in his eyes was very obvious, "Little ghost, you'd better have something worth running to Uncle Ben, or you can follow me to the water prison for the night." As he spoke, he licked his lips, and the fierce look made Difana, who was already hiding behind Ryan, shrink again.

"Lord Sheriff, you must be the master for us!" Roger was full of anxiety when he was pulled by the collar, and he grabbed his lame hand excitedly, and his fingers buckled in his palm without moving, "What kind of sea snake mercenary group heard that we were going to hire mercenaries to go to sea, so they forced us to come over and send them tasks, this is simply forced to buy and sell, besides, we are all apprentices who came out to collect materials, where can we pay the cost of hiring a mercenary group!"

Indifferently shook off Roger's hand and pulled his hand, limped and quietly slid a few gold Lang Er handed to him into his pocket, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "This little ghost, it looks reckless, I didn't expect to know some rules, if this is usual, Uncle Ben will help you when he is idle, but now you don't look at who wants to mess with you, who in Mixed Port City doesn't know that this sea snake is an actual subordinate of the mercenary group? It's just used to do some dirty work." ”

With a thought in his heart, he was lame and gloomy like a person from the Sea Serpent Mercenary Group at the counter and asked, "Is it really like what this little ghost said, you forced them to issue a mission?"

"Hehe, my lord, look at what you said, let's do mercenary business, don't we just talk about credibility, we brothers don't do this kind of thing, brothers, am I right?" Hearing the echo of his subordinates, the head of the Sea Serpent Mercenary Regiment nodded proudly, pointed to Roger and the others and continued, "Hehe, look, Lord Sheriff, we are all good law-abiding citizens." However, these little ghosts themselves discussed to hire us, and as soon as they heard that the process of going through the union would take two percent of the money, they immediately wanted us to take on private work without going through the union, which is why there is such a thing, which stands to reason that they should also be punished. ”

"Reputation? He scolded in his heart, nodded pretending to be lame, turned to Roger and spread his hands, and said regretfully, "Little ghost, since it is a dispute within the mercenary union, it is none of my business, but I still advise you, don't think about being cheap, you still have to follow the path of the guild honestly." ”

After saying that, the lame turned around and left humming a little song, Jin Langer clanged in his broken pocket, and the pleasant sound made him feel very good, and he had already planned to find that old man at night.

"Idiot, is my money so easy to take?" Although he was already smiling in his heart, Roger's face was a humiliating expression that he had seen the dark side of society for the first time, and the arrogant voice of the head of the Sea Serpent Mercenary Regiment sounded at the right time, "How about it? Have you thought about it? After thinking about it, let's sign this employment contract quickly, and save everyone a trouble." ”

"You ......." Roger pointed to the arrogant Sea Serpent mercenary group with a look of 'despair', and looked around for help, but the other mercenaries present did not react, but laughed and talked to each other, watching this rare show with interest.

Finally, when Roger's pleading gaze met the bald man squatting on the round table, he finally heard the long-awaited voice, "Sea worm, have you grown your skills? Who gave you the guts to do such a thing?"
