Chapter 409: The Smell of Civilization...... It's so fragrant
Chapter 409: The Smell of Civilization...... True Fragrance (Page 1/1)
After a series of voyages from "Nunn", the "Silent Giant" finally arrived at its final destination on the eighteenth day after leaving the "Ruins of the Three Towers".
The road was peaceful, with no bandits or alien creatures harassing them, and no extreme bad weather, which was much more convenient and faster than taking the land route.
Compared to the fact that they didn't encounter any big threats in the "Ivey Territory" before, that was because the terrain was flat and open, and even the wild could not hide any strange creatures, but the "Rick Territory" was different.
From "Nunn" to the "Rick River", you can clearly feel the change in topography, and the banks of the river are almost entirely lined with lush forests and rolling hills.
Eerie and terrifying,
Don't think that this is one of the richest provinces in the empire, and the world is peaceful.
On the contrary, in this famous "Rickvard Forest", there are not many greenskins and beastmen hiding in it, and even the well-equipped and high-morale provincial army of "Rick Collar" cannot completely eradicate them.
All in all, it would never have been possible to get to "Aldolph" so quickly, if it had not been for the waterway.
Even so, it took more than half a month, and for Elizabeth, who was haunted by the wind of death, it meant that she had entered the countdown to the last ten days of her life.
Thankfully, thanks to a magic necklace from a vampire, she didn't suffer from pain in what may have been her last days.
But if she doesn't find a complete solution, it will be the most important journey of her life.
In addition, Brienne will not forget the original intention of her trip, in the huge city in front of her, where all parties are intricately intertwined, in some unknown corner, there is another lively and cute little girl waiting for her to take her home.
The closer you get to "Aldolph", the calmer the blonde mercenary's mind becomes, and the next thing is the real key, every step counts, and the slightest mistake can cost you your life here.
However, Brienne was confident in herself throughout, and as the fog-shrouded dock in front of her became clearer, her eyes became cold and sharp.
Aldolph! I didn't expect that there would be a day to set foot here again, and the second brother Mao was on it! Bless me for doing a great job here!
……
As the only one who knew the whole thing, Rip stood side by side with Brienne in the bow of the boat.
Seeing the lord's serious expression, he didn't feel a reason to tighten his heart, but he quickly forgot about it.
It's all here, and I can only trust that the lord can accomplish this impossible task.
All he had to do was give his full support, and then the mercenary captain turned his head to the excited men on the deck.
Looking at them one by one, most of them are young and energetic faces.
Put as many people as possible...... Take it back alive.
The ship soon docked, and Rip shouted to the mercenaries who had packed their bags in advance to disembark.
The time spent on the ship these days has not been in vain, and with the majesty of the "Nune" docks, the new Bavio has been training the mercenaries on the ship in addition to leading the other orc hunters to follow Brienne to understand the most basic conditions of this world.
Although only some of the simplest discipline training was carried out on the deck, it was obvious that the temperament of the entire mercenary group had changed, not to mention anything else, at least after the order was conveyed, there was no more pushing.
In the past, if these mercenaries were asked to get up early in the morning to pack their luggage, they would definitely complain, but this time it was different, and they were all ready without saying a word, so in less than half an hour when the ship docked on the dock, everyone and their luggage, as well as the two fine wines brought from "Fetanburg", were all unloaded.
Of course, throughout the process, there were still voices of admiration about the capital of the empire.
Along the way, from Frontier Town to Iveheim, to Nunn, and finally to Aldolphe, each city refreshed the knowledge of the group of country mercenaries, and although they had experienced it several times, they could not hide their excitement when they saw the Imperial Capital, which seemed to be much larger than Nune.
After a long journey of more than a month, isn't it just to see the prosperous and rich civilized society, but here is the center of the whole old world, and when you return to "Fetamburg" in the future, you can definitely brag about it.
It's just that despite the scale, the smell in the air is not very good.
Like other cities, it's not right, it's even exceeding.
The dilapidated old wharf was originally located in the northern district of "Aldolphe", where low-income people gathered, and the municipal facilities were very old and densely populated, coupled with the fishy smell of fishing boats returning from the wharf, mixed with excrement, this feeling is difficult to describe in words.
However, in the eyes of most mercenaries, this is the breath of civilization.
Repp quickly paid the final payment for the charter, said goodbye to the captain who made a lot of money, and was the last to disembark.
At this time, the big man Tim had already rented a few horse-drawn carriages next to the dock and led people to load all the goods and luggage.
The strength of the Silver Swordsman and his status as a local made it impossible for him to be slaughtered, and under the unfriendly eyes of the disappointed dock workers around him, the mercenary group quickly left the smelly and complicated place.
The spies of the mercenary group who were in Aldolph had already secured a hotel large enough to accommodate everyone.
According to the address they gave, even with Tim, a native of the North End, leading the way, the carriage wandered through the cobwebbed streets for a long time before finding its destination.
This is the Lusen district, not far north of the old wharf, where ordinary craftsmen and all kinds of small shops gather, and the people are thriving, and as time goes by, the roads that are not spacious gradually become crowded, and it is impossible to walk quickly.
The carriage finally stopped in front of a three-story house of medium and upper size, the Bamboo Rat Hotel, which was the place that the spies had booked in advance.
Brienne made a color and asked Rip to take Tim and Rostov in, and soon the three of them returned, bringing a few more men, apparently the same ones who had been sent to Aldolph before.
The mercenaries rushed in and found their own rooms, and like other inns of the same size, the first floor was the hall with tables, chairs and bars for eating and drinking, and the second and third floors were the rooms where the guests slept.
In addition, there is a small courtyard at the back of the hall, which can be used for exercise, Brienne and Rep are very happy with this, and it seems that the spies have put a lot of thought into it.
Although it is not yet noon, many mercenaries are already exhausted, since they have arrived successfully, there is no need to be strict with them, they want to rest and rest, they want to eat and drink, but there is a requirement, they can't leave the hotel.
When you are a newcomer, you are not familiar with the place, and there are people coming and going outside, which is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
