Chapter 19: The City of Autumn Leaves
Red Leaf City, located in the middle of the Sicilian province, can be said to be one of the richest towns in the Sicilian province.
Although the Sicilian Province is located on the border of the Northern Moon Empire, and there are constant wars all year round, for Momiji City, no matter how fierce the war is, it will not affect this beautiful town unless it is time to break the country.
In fact, Red Leaf City is not the original name of this rich town, it originally had a hard name - Thunder City.
Maple trees are planted on both sides of the streets of Leicheng, and in autumn, the maple leaves fade from their green coat and change into red plain clothes, which looks like a fire cloud from afar.
Autumn is another melancholy season, when the sentimental bard saw the maple forest covering the land with a red carpet, countless poems and stories about the autumn leaves were spread in the Northern Moon Empire, and gradually, people forgot the name Thunder City, and under the wise decision of the previous city lord, a Lang Man name was born - Red Leaf City.
At this time, she stood upright under the city gate, her thin figure looked particularly lonely in the morning glow, wearing a moon-white samurai uniform, under the illumination of the rising sun, the whole person seemed to be dyed with a layer of faint golden brilliance, as if the gods of the red dust descended from the nine heavens, and the clothes fluttered, as if they would ride the wind at any time.
She just stared blankly at the row of maple trees at the gate of the city, this was not the first time she had seen maple trees, but when she saw the extreme red leaves, she thought of her family in the distance, the maple trees in the yard of the house should also be so red, the mother of the tyrannosaurus should be very much thinking about herself, all her thoughts were drawn out by this red.
Retracted his gaze, picked up a piece of red leaves falling on the ground and held it in his hand, sighed slightly, shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to resign himself to the Red Leaf City.
The publisher of the missing mission received by Worry-Free is the lord of the city of red leaves, and the son of the lord of the city has been missing for two years, during which the lord of the city sent a lot of people to look for it to no avail, and the people who went to look for it have mysteriously disappeared one by one, and no one has returned.
The lord of the city did not give up, and issued a D-class mercenary mission to find his missing son, but just like the previous result, these mercenaries also disappeared mysteriously, so this task was upgraded to a C-level mission by the mercenary union.
Originally, the city lord wanted to revoke this task, but he knew in his heart that it had been two years, and his son was likely to have suffered a misfortune and died.
However, following the disappearance of his son, there were frequent disappearances in the city, and the city lord felt that these people must have encountered the same accident as his son, so this year he went to the mercenary union to upgrade this task of finding people to B level.
Looking immersed in the fantasy that his son is still there, his daughter-in-law lives a nightmare every day, the city lord really can't bear it, he can be quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and even thinks that his son has climbed her.
The daughter-in-law is the only daughter of his friend and immediate boss, the governor of Sicily, and the only daughter of the governor can be said to be spoiled to the bone.
Xue Wu is also very good, inheriting her mother's excellent genes, not only beautiful but also talented, an independent, noble and elegant woman, she is the envy of all noble ladies.
But it was such a stunning woman who married her son, and when her friend told her that she wanted to marry her to her son, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night. This daughter-in-law is really good, the son is not sensible, he can't socialize a lot, he will only spend all his time drinking to offend people everywhere, if this daughter-in-law doesn't help him everywhere, I don't know how many enemies will come to the door.
However, just two years ago, his son disappeared, and his daughter-in-law was heartbroken, but she was still waiting for him to come back.
After all, he hasn't returned for two years, and even his father doesn't believe that his son is still alive, he doesn't want such a good daughter-in-law to delay the happiness of his life, he must find his son, and he must see people and corpses in life, so that his daughter-in-law can break her mind and pursue her own happiness.
Although it is located in the middle of the province, there are guards patrolling the gates of the single city, neatly dressed in red uniforms, and a large group of Praetorian Guards patrolling the wide and neat streets.
Red Leaf Castle is huge, and it is actually inhabited by tens of thousands of residents.
Since it was not a frontier fortress, the town was not garrisoned, but only a city wall was built, and the city lord's own Praetorian Guard maintained law and order in the city.
Because Momiji Castle is located at the intersection of several trade routes, hundreds of merchants and travelers are sent to it every day, and many residents earn gold by operating inns and taverns.
Affluent residents, a steady stream of merchants, and iron-clad mercenaries have brought a lot of life and vitality to this Langman town. Walking inside from the city gates, there is a constant stream of vendors, who gather in a bazaar-like place to trade, and all kinds of cries are heard.
Before Sanssouci even entered the town, he already felt its breath of prosperity.
Unlike the City of Mercenaries, where the prosperity gives people a sense of iron-bloodedness, the City of Red Leaves is closer to the people's livelihood and life, which is a flourishing prosperity.
Worry-free entered the city of red leaves and did not go to the city lord's mansion immediately, but found a hotel to live in, and after paying the room fee of a gold coin, worry-free washed up in his room a little and changed into a magic robe issued by the mercenary union and prepared to go downstairs for lunch.
The food in the hotel is still very good, compared to the carefree self-cooking is really good, and the carefree started his first meal in Red Leaf City after ordering a lot of food.
When he first entered the hotel before, the boss was only polite to the guests, but now he saw that he had changed into a magic robe and wore the badge of an intermediate magician, and the boss's expression became respectful, and he was called "Your Excellency the Respected Magician" for Sanssoucia.
Carefree and flattered, it seems that only with strength outside can he be respected by others. Originally, the plan to go to the City Lord's Mansion first was also changed to go to the mercenary union first to submit a task to upgrade the mercenary level.
After lunch, I wandered around the streets of the town. Walk casually through the streets of the town, where people come and go, full of merchants and mercenaries. Pulled someone on the street casually in order to get off the road, and immediately knew the location of the mercenary union.
The mercenary guild in Red Leaf City is really small compared to Twilight, and the guild only has two floors, the first floor is the mission hall, and the second floor is where the staff rests.
As soon as she entered the door of the union, she quickly found a place to hand in the task, and after waiting in line for a while, it was finally her turn, when she handed the mercenary president, who had collected the things collected by the seven collection tasks, to the staff, the mercenaries next to them were stunned, sobbing sounded, and the corner suddenly became silent.
The staff working as a mercenary was very respectful, and he respectfully accepted the badge in his hand and began to calculate the points.
The work efficiency of the mercenary guild is not low, and it didn't take long for the calculation to be completed, and Worry-free was also promoted from an E-level mercenary to a D-level mercenary, according to the staff, plus a task she hadn't completed before, as long as she completed another A-level mission or 10 B-level tasks, she could be upgraded to a C-level mercenary.
This news is really good for Wu Wu, thinking that the first test of his Ten Hidden Clan Exams has almost been completed, Wu Wu felt a burst of joy in his heart. She retrieved her badge and ran towards the taskbar. She wanted to take on an A-class mission as soon as possible and complete this mercenary career.
After patrolling the task bar for a long time, Worry-free finally chose a mission to go to the fortress to resist Warcraft, in fact, Worry-free chose the task without thinking too much, and asked her why she chose this, and she will tell you, "Near......!" "Okay, our carefree young master is as lazy as ever.
Holding the task card of this task, she ran back to the registration office in a hurry, and the staff blatantly opened the back door for her, compared with the efficiency of the mercenary union in calculating points, the speed at which they transmitted the message was terrifying, as long as it was a branch of the mercenary union, they all knew that she was a carefree young master, and she wanted to receive it well, and she tried her best to meet any request, and who dared to disobey the orders from above.
For this reason, our carefree young master is naked, very dark and black, not only cutting in line, but also overstepping the ladder to accept the task. In the cognition of the carefree young master, she had already lined up just now, and it was nothing to leave for a while, but she didn't know that she still had to queue up again.
The glass hearts of our mercenary guild bosses were deeply hurt by him again, and the ground was full of shards. In the eyes of the other mercenaries, carefree became more mysterious, but as a small mercenary, these were not for them to ask.
In a strange atmosphere, a certain D-class mercenary shamelessly took on the A-class task, stepped on the glass hearts of the mercenary union bosses and walked away happily.
