They followed the direction from which the wolves had come and found the bones of many animals, wild horses, steppe cattle, and short-winged bantams...... Even many carnivores were killed, and it seems that the wolves didn't pay attention to it last night when they were full, uh...... Although there is too little meat.
They had been walking all morning, and the sun was scorching, which made Renault and Ngawang very depressed.
Helplessly, they could only adjust their direction and move forward, and walk in the direction where the wolves came, will there be a city? And even if they are curious about why the wolves are migrating and evaluating the current strength, it is in vain in the past, so the powerful wolf kings have all fled, and they estimate that there is no good result.
Finally in the afternoon they found a clear rut, it is estimated that this is a long-term trade route, Renault and Ngawang are overjoyed, grandma's, can finally get rid of this grassland.
They followed the ruts, and the originally endless grassland began to slowly rise and fall, and some mountains appeared in the distance one after another, lush and lush, and the further back they went, the more mountains there were, all of which were dwarf commercial hills, and the trees were all dwarf trees.
At last at dusk they saw the city wall, not very high, about four or five meters, not magnificent, sandwiched between two mountains, it seems that the area should be quite large, the city wall has a sparse number of guards standing guard, there are only two guards at the city gate, leaning on the ground and chatting.
"Oh, dear Dadar City, here we come!" Ngawang was so excited that even Renault couldn't help but speed up on his horse, this was his first time in the city, and the bustle of the city was exciting just thinking about it.
Xiao Ye Bai burned on the horse's head, grabbed the horse's sideburns and chirped non-stop, looking very happy.
Soon they were at the city gate, and Ngawang shouted, "Dadar City, we have finally arrived." ā
Renault followed him, looked up and saw that his face was stiff, and there were two big characters written above the city gate, "Beicheng", and Awang saw that Renault was stunned and looked up, and his face was also stiff. Xiao Yebai laughed even more when he saw the two of them embarrassed, crawling on the horse's back and leaning back, his hands kept patting the horse's back, very humane.
Then they found that the guards and passers-by were looking at them with strange expressions, and Renault's face turned red when he brushed it, and Ngawang's face was too dark to see, but he could see that he was still quite embarrassed.
Then the two went to the guard to fill in the information to enter the city, and pay the entrance fee, although this is not Dadar City, it is a city that they have not heard of, but for the two people who have not been to the city, it is the same wherever they go, it is good to have it, although Bay City is not big, but there should be all kinds of facilities.
The person who went through the formalities was a middle-aged man, who had some vicissitudes but still looked full and enthusiastic.
"Young man, your first time out of the house. After listening to this uncle's words, the two of them looked a little unnatural, and the uncle who guarded the city laughed and said, "It's okay, I made a lot of stupid mistakes when I first came out, and everyone has experienced." ā
"Uh...... Uncle, I want to ask if there is a cheap place to live. Renault asked.
"Hmm... There is a hotel in the east of the city that is not bad, and the cheap environment is also OK, so I recommend you to go there. ā
Then the two asked about the registration of mercenaries, and the middle-aged man also answered enthusiastically, which made Ah Wang sigh that there were still many good people.
The two of them quickly completed the formalities, and it was already dark at this time, but the city was still very lively, and the streets were full of people, and the two teenagers who had never been to the city were full of curiosity at the moment.
The streets are all paved with heavy stone slabs, the brick and stone houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the road, all kinds of vendors shouting, hoping to bring more customers, the streets are full of colorful lanterns, colorful and beautiful, some high-end shops also have magic lights, constantly changing colors, and the lamps are flashing with various patterns, which is very flavorful.
"Wow, Renault, look at it, there's a man with a bull's head on his head, damn, that person is so short......" Ah Wang kept talking, Renault also felt very curious, although this is the country of human beings, but there are many races living in the Shengyao Continent, and human beings are only the most populous intelligent races among them, and now the continent is in a period of peace, except for some special races, the ties of other races are still very close, and there are many complementary interests between the races, so generally speaking, most of the regions are open to each other.
"Damn! Renault, look over there, there are so many beautiful girls!" Awang's eyes looked like he had found prey.
Renault followed Ngawang's direction and looked over, indeed as he said, a group of graceful women were dressed very beautifully, with heavy makeup and light makeup, and even more boldly wearing revealing clothes, to be honest, Renault had never seen so many young and beautiful girls at once, let alone so open, both of them couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.
The women noticed the appearance of the two and couldn't help but giggle and greet them.
"Yo, two little brothers, why are you so stunned, come in and sit down. ā
"That's right, come to accompany my sister, tsk, she looks pretty handsome. ā
ā¦ā¦
The two of them had never seen such a scene, and their faces turned red in an instant, and even Ngawang's black face was flushed with a hint of redness, and the women felt even more amused when they saw their blushes, and smiled and pasted them.
Renault's mind was blank, the woman's white and tender little hand was on his shoulder, and there were bursts of aroma, and he didn't know where to put his hand for a while.
"Hey, what a cute little guy, come, let my sister hug. ā
Xiao Yebai, who was looking around on horseback, suddenly became the focus, the little guy was indeed very cute, and all kinds of strange movements made all the women laugh.
Because Xiao Yebai Renault Awang was able to breathe a sigh of relief, but Awang was very jealous and watched Xiao Yebai shamelessly rubbing in the woman's arms, wishing that he had become a monkey now.
Renault suddenly remembered that Uncle Johnny had told him before he came out to go to less places, and after thinking about the characteristics described by Uncle Johnny, it really matched, so he hurriedly pulled Ngawang and tried hard to get Xiao Yebai out, leading the horse and fleeing in a panic.
After wandering around the city for a long time, they finally found the hotel that the uncle guarding the city said: the Moonlight Hotel.
This hotel is a slightly remote place in the city, after checking in, Renault found that this place is indeed as the uncle said, clean and tidy, generally ordinary businessmen, adventurers and the like come to this place, although it is very simple, but the two are still very satisfied, feel free to eat something on the first floor of the hotel They went upstairs to rest, and the two slept in one.
I've been running around these days, to be honest, neither of them has had a good night's sleep, and now I feel sleepy when I lie down, I just want to have a good rest, and even the naughty little Yebai doesn't want to move more.
Renault plans to register mercenaries early tomorrow morning, their money is really not much, it is the limit of what the family can give, but in the eyes of the city, it is indeed very little, only enough for two people to spend a few days.
The moonlight shone through the window, and Renault's long black hair pressed against his forehead, shining with a healthy sheen in the moonlight, and soon Renault fell into a deep sleep.
It's also strange to say, Renault has black hair and black eyes, there are many kinds of hair colors on the mainland, there are any colors, the eyes are mostly blue, but there are many other colors, which is reflected in the pupil practitioner, Awang is short brown hair, dark blue eyes, Uncle Johnny is blonde hair, but the eyes are a little purple, and black hair and black eyes like Renault are rare, according to Uncle Johnny, this is what he inherited from his mother.
The two got up early the next morning, and after asking the shopkeeper for the direction of the mercenary office, the two went out.
The mercenary office is located in the central square of the city, where there are branches of the Mage Association, branches of the Warrior Alliance, branches of the Knight's House, etc., which are basically concentrated there, but the largest of them is the Mercenary Association, the Mage Association and other large organizations, these organizations can be found in almost every city on the mainland, it is a very large organization, half of the land near the square is covered by these associations, and the remaining small organizations can only divide the remaining land, and some small organizations even have only a small house, which is very shabby.
The mercenary association was actually jointly founded by several major countries, in order to facilitate the management of those scattered adventurers, and also to make the best use of these human resources, and people's needs to be compiled into tasks can also solve the employment problem of many people, and the mercenary group composed of mercenaries is also a powerful combat force, and there is no shortage of powerful mercenary groups in history to dominate the battlefield.
Therefore, each country will cultivate some of its own mercenary groups, just give them some benefits in peacetime, mercenary groups can generally be self-sufficient, and do not need to be raised like the army.
Soon the two of them found the mercenary office, uh, it is indeed very easy to recognize, and they saw a luxurious tall house standing in the east of the square, more than ten meters high, which is already the highest in this shell city, all white, all made of huge stones, and the red lacquer-dyed fist and sword cross sign are engraved in the high place, very conspicuous.
The two of them had never seen such an imposing house, so they couldn't help but marvel, and looked at it for a while before entering the formalities. Xiao Yebai sat honestly on Renault's shoulder, but it was not noticeable, there were more people who raised animals, and some people raised some fierce beasts as pets, which were not uncommon on the street, and there were strong beasts domesticated by animal trainers, and their combat effectiveness was very good.
The hall was very lively, and the interior of the originally very large house was filled with this crowd, all kinds of people, and some foreigners.
"That's a lot of people, Renault, No, registered over there. Renault looked along, the mercenary registration was very conspicuous, but there were also a lot of people, and the team almost lined up outside.
"I didn't expect so many people to queue up slowly. Reynolds said.
The two of them honestly lined up to the end, watching the long snake-like team slowly advance, and there was a rather boring feeling.
There are many people who come from the countryside to the city to make a living, and the requirements for mercenaries are low, and the income is not too bad, so it is not surprising that there are many people, and mercenaries are also the most popular profession in the mainland.
Time passed slowly, and it seemed that it was about to reach Ngawang, but suddenly a person came out and inserted it in front of Ngawang, this person was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed gorgeously, wearing gold and silver, obviously a rich and noble person, Renault frowned, and Ngawang called out directly: "Hey, boy, how can you cut in line." ā
The young man turned his head, he looked like he was also clear-eyed, but he looked very arrogant, and when he saw that Ah Wang was dressed in ordinary clothes and even a little dirty, he immediately looked at Ah Wang with disdain, and said: "What are you, can you control what Young Master Ben likes to do, hillbilly, if you talk more, Young Master Ben will abolish you!"
Ngawang suddenly became angry, rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, but Renault grabbed him and said, "Forget it." ā
Because he found that there were three other people who followed the boy, giving him a sense of oppression, obviously strong people, and were watching them with fierce eyes, wishing that they would do it, it was irrational to do it here, and it was forbidden to fight in the mercenary office, otherwise there would be quite a serious punishment.
It's just that Renault looked at the boy deeply, secretly remembering his appearance.
The teenager ignored them, his high status was very fast, and he only used half of other people's time to complete it, and looked at the two of them with disdain before leaving, and there was a clear meaning in his eyes to make you look good next time, and several teenagers' guards directly insulted a few words before leaving.
Ah Wang's face was a little unpleasant, but his eyes became resolute when he looked at Renault, there was something needless to say, both of them were people who were not to be left behind, and there would be a day when they would spread their wings.
"Hey, don't worry, two little brothers, just now the little young master of the Best family, the largest family in Bay City, is usually arrogant, but I wonder why he also came to register as a mercenary, it is probably a joke, don't be impulsive, there are many strong people in the Best family, and my father is even holding the title of baron, which is not something that we can afford to provoke." A young man about their age behind Renault reminded.
Renault smiled back, but secretly remembered in his heart that Best ......
Fortunately, the two of them are open-minded by nature, and they quickly adjusted themselves and stepped forward to register.
It was a young and beautiful woman in her twenties who went through the formalities, but she looked very cold, obviously looking down on the two of them.
"Fill in your basic information, as well as your ability level, and two silver coins per person. The woman said indifferently.
The level classification of the Shengyao Continent has become a system of its own, and each profession is divided into one, two, and three levels, such as a first-level swordsman, a first-level mage, a first-level knight, etc., each level is divided into six sections, and crossing the third level is to meet the standard of the general strong recognized by the mainland, and with other titles, the swordsman will be promoted to a sword master, and the mage will be promoted to a magic master, etc.
In the remote mountain village where Renault lives, he is a master if he can cultivate his fighting spirit, and his attack power is greatly improved, and mage is a relatively scarce profession, and generally strong teams will be equipped with mages.
In a small city like Bay City, a second-level warrior who can have two or three stages is already a top master.
Renault and Ngawang's fighting spirit was taught by Uncle Johnny, but Uncle Johnny was not very strict, and he didn't care if he taught it, and they cultivated his fighting spirit, but their physical training was very tight, and they were caught training at high intensity five days a week, and they have been training like this since they could remember, and Ngawang likes to play with Renault, and it turned out that after a long time, the two of them trained together.
When they grow so big, only Uncle Johnny can have a good rest when he goes far away, and Xiao Yebai was caught by Uncle Johnny when he went to the north to run errands for three months.
Therefore, the fighting spirit level of the two is not high, Ngawang is a third-stage first-level swordsman, Renault is slightly better, and a fourth-stage first-level warrior, but both of them are quite strong physically, and it is estimated that they can cross the stage to challenge.
Soon the two of them went through the formalities, and the woman didn't bother to look up at them, and used the magic engraving machine to help them play the mercenary identity card and then threw it to them, which was considered a successful mercenary. (The magic engraving machine is a machine that is owned by various guilds and associations, made by alchemists, engraved with several small magic arrays, which can engrave information on specific items, and there is a simple magic array in the identity card and the like, which is used to record personal information, and it can be displayed by entering the fighting qi or mana)
Renault didn't care about the woman's attitude, and it was not surprising that the whole job had been repeated for a long time.
The two of them are very happy to get the identity card, at present, their identity card is made of white stone, the front is engraved with the logo of the mercenary association, and some simple patterns are engraved around it to decorate, and the back is smooth, and the personal information of the holder will be displayed in blue letters when entering the fighting spirit, which is a bit strange.
Renault looked at the mercenary card in his hand, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and he couldn't put it down, Ah Wang's face was even more grinning, Xiao Yebai seemed to understand the master's mood, and he applauded a little funny, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth.
The two of them were amused by it, Renault smiled, looked down at the one in his hand, and said silently in his heart, we are Yang Fan today!
Note: The quality of the mercenary identity card is determined by the number of tasks completed and the quality of the task, which is divided into six ranks: white stone, bronze, silver, gold, amethyst, and supreme.
