Chapter 55: Stormwind
Plans to travel to the kingdom of Astaire were put on hold, and Leo told Lindsay that he had decided to stay in Stormwind for a little longer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lindsay wondered, but didn't ask more.
She didn't know the specific reason why Leo went to Snow Country, she simply wanted to see the wider world with Leo, and it would be good to stop once in a while.
As mentioned earlier, there are three tall peaks on the Red Rock Coast, and Stormwind is located deeper in the middle of the three peaks, passing through muddy forest trails and rugged mountain roads, and passing a clear stream, you can see a flat road paved with stone bricks.
The appearance of Stormwind City is not much different from that of Strange Rock City, and apart from the difference in terrain, there is almost no difference between the two.
To put it more clearly, more than half of the Red Rock Coast area is covered with forests, rocks, streams.
Stormwind City occupies only seven percent of this vast area, and although the surrounding forests are highly explored, the number of monsters is more than that of Strange Rock City, and the mercenary guild in the city has a high status, and there are as many excellent adventurers and caravans as there are in the imperial capital here.
In the Storm Sea area off the Red Rock Coast, the place where the exploration is complete is only a few kilometers away, and you can't even see the shadow of the island.
Removing the benefits of the monster quest, there are still various rare minerals on the Red Rock Coast, and although Stormwind City has issued a ban, there are still various gangs going deep into the mining area, and there are various shadows of the Grand Duke behind it.
The Red Rock thieves were already acting recklessly in this place, and now there are various chambers of commerce and grand dukes intervening, and the law and order are even more in shambles.
The Beast Chariot Road here passes through Stormwind City, leading directly to the Astaire Imperial Capital, which is a must for all kinds of merchants. It is precisely for this reason that the outcasts and thieves who have come here have not joined forces with the notorious thieves to capture Stormwind, and the various chess pieces planted here have played a more or less restraining role.
Caution is an adage for adventurers, and it's the way to survive in Stormwind.
There's only so much Leo knows about Stormwind.
・・・
It was noon, and the mercenary union in Stormwind City was a little lively.
It's not just adventurers who hand over tasks, but also vendors who are ready to sell information.
The adventurers here are still mostly warriors, and magicians can go to the Mage Tower to receive some ordinary tasks, and the rewards are not small.
As for the priests, they must have served in the church, and almost none of the priests would be mercenaries.
Rubbing shoulders with a strong greatsword warrior, Leo and Lindsay cut through the crowd and walked to the front desk.
"A monster quest list."
"Three copper coins."
After receiving the copper coin of the Astaire Kingdom handed over by the other party, the bearded man in charge of the reception noticed the freshness of the copper coin.
"New faces."
He slowly pulled the crumpled paper from the pile of papers next to him and looked at the visitor with interest.
It's so young that you can't see the security face, and there is a little girl next to her.
"The monsters here are very ferocious, do you want to see the list of auxiliaries on our side?"
Cooperation is a common experience between mercenary teams, and there are also some senior mercenaries or adventurers who will be listed in the mercenary union as support personnel, specially prepared for those who are not strong enough but want to experience monster missions.
He apparently puts Leo and Lindsay in the category of the sons of some nobles, and there are quite a few nobles in Stormwind, who always like something exciting.
"You can register a new name with our union, so you will get a lot of new rights..."
The beard continued very earnestly, you know, these young young masters and young ladies are cash cows.
"Monster quests above level B require a strength certificate above level B?"
Leo pointed to a B-rank monster quest called "Giant Spider", which added "B-rank strength certificate" to the condition column.
"Yes, these are difficult tasks, don't try these, this 'Flame Dog' E-class mission is very interesting, you can give it a try."
The beard glanced at it and said slowly.
Senior quests are usually issued by well-known figures in Stormwind, such as a prestigious alchemist or archmage who needs certain materials for experiments with monsters and also has requirements for freshness, so they will post quests in the mercenary guild.
And these people are also the real customers of the mercenary union, in order to prevent some waste mercenaries from recklessly taking over the task and ruining the affairs of the big employer, the mercenary union has implemented the thing of strength certificate.
This system was originally implemented in the Imperial Capital Mercenary Union, and it was a point system.
If you want to receive monster missions with greater benefits and higher levels, you need a strength certificate that matches it.
High-level strength certificates are difficult to obtain, and low-level mercenaries can only complete some tasks of sufficient weight in exchange for some points, and after the points reach a certain level, they can participate in the advanced assessment. After passing the advanced assessment, the Stormwind City Mercenary Guild will upgrade its strength credentials.
Anyway, this thing is almost like a diploma, and you really can't get it without some strength.
"Get out of the way for me, my family will participate in the strength assessment!"
Just as Leo was thinking, an unexpected voice came from the door of the mercenary union.
"Tsk, it's that Casper again."
"I was already a B-level adventurer last time, is this time here to conduct the A-level adventurer assessment?"
"It's only been two months, and the speed of accumulation of this point is too amazing."
"Maybe it's collecting points from other mercenary groups?"
The swordsman named Casper obviously has a lot of fame, and the mercenaries of the Mercenary Guild whisper and talk about Casper's strength.
Stormwind City's local swordsman, who is also a nobleman, is hard to imagine that with his background, he would choose to become a mercenary.
"It's Master Casper, rare guest, come with me."
The beard's eyes lit up, put away his lazy appearance, and said very diligently.
"I'm here to deliver the task, of course, by the way, I will conduct a strength assessment, please hurry up and arrange it."
Casper is a blue-haired young swordsman who wields the usual greatsword.
"Okay, okay, please wait."
The beard nodded like a rice-pecking chick and quickly left Leo and Lindsay aside.
However, Leo was not unhappy, and this was normal.
"Who are you?"
To Leo's surprise, Casper, who was the focus of everyone, looked over, and there was a look of surprise in his gray-brown eyes.
He seems to be interested in Leo and Lindsay, but they don't show anything out of the ordinary. (To be continued.) )
