5. Departure

Su Yan's understanding of this world is not deep enough.

After all, this world is very different from the game world of Eternal.

If he is in the game, as long as there is a general clue, he can gather enough information in a short period of time to lock on to the target location.

But in this world, that's not possible.

The map in the Grey Sand Castle collection only records the terrain of the Grey Sand Territory and the roads and names leading to the adjacent territories, not even the surrounding territories, let alone the entire Northern Territory or even the entire Trian Kingdom.

However, although there is no way to achieve the level of an encyclopedia like a game, at least Su Yan still has a lot of experience in terms of how to listen to information.

Seven days have passed since the gray sand collar was burned to the ground.

After that night's killing, Su Yan left the Grey Sand Collar with Anna the next day.

Although I don't know what the world's attitude towards creatures like the undead is, judging by the logic of normal thinking, I'm afraid it won't be good. In addition, Su Yan is a more active person, so naturally he will not choose to continue to stay in the Gray Sand Territory, after all, it is not an exaggeration to call the villages and stone castles in this territory ruins.

Luckily, on the third day after leaving Grey Sandcastle, he and Anna encountered a convoy of merchants on the way.

Because Su Yan had changed into a costume that had been ripped off the militia and those attackers before leaving, he looked like a traveler fleeing with his daughter, so the merchant team did not refuse Su Yan and Anna to join.

During the three days he spent walking with this caravan, Su Yan spent most of his time hanging out with the mercenaries who were responsible for protecting the caravan.

In the eyes of the caravan and the mercenaries, this kind of behavior looks like a newcomer trying to become a mercenary to earn a salary to support his daughter, so the mercenaries still have a considerable degree of affection for Su Yan, and even try to win Su Yan to join their mercenary group, so for Su Yan's various problems, they almost know everything and say everything.

This made Su Yan understand that in this world, there are also mercenary guilds, thieves guilds, adventurer guilds and other various interest groups that serve different professions.

However, the nature of these guilds is not the same as the professional guilds in Eternity.

The professional guilds in "Eternal" will teach players to learn some more basic combat skills - basically, as long as they are not too lazy and stupid players, they will master at least four combat skills including passive skills and active skills after graduating from the novice village.

But in this world, these professional guilds do not teach combat skills.

The Thieves' Guild, for example, is a recognized intelligence organization in the world. Basically, they have their strongholds in every city, and most people can use them to gather any information they want to hear, and they are said to have unclear ties with some other power groups.

The Mercenary Guild, on the other hand, is a professional guild that specializes in the mercenary industry. Most merchants would go to this guild to hire a gang of mercenaries to help them when they were traveling, or when there were disputes and wars between nobles. Like the caravan that Su Yan teamed up, they found the Mercenary Guild to sign a mercenary group to be responsible for the escort work, and any attack encountered in the process, this mercenary group must be solved unconditionally.

Su Yan had a question about this: What should I do if the mercenary is killed or injured in the work of being in charge of guarding?

And the answer he got was quite unexpected by Su Yan.

Any mercenary group that has formally signed a contract through the Mercenary Guild will be responsible for any casualties in the course of escort work, and will have nothing to do with the employer. If you entangle your employer because of this, not only will your credit rating in the Mercenary Guild drop, but in serious cases, you will be disqualified from registration by the Mercenary Guild, and you may even be attacked by the Mercenary Guild.

So in general, no mercenary group will make such trouble: basically any problem will be negotiated before signing the contract, and once the contract is signed, there will be no remorse.

As for the Adventurer's Guild, it is a rather alternative guild, which is said to be related to the exploration of ruins, the opening of new waterways, and the like, and these mercenaries are not very clear about this, so Su Yan can't know too much. The only thing that can be determined is that the adventurer's guild is not available in every city, and it seems that there is only one adventurer's guild in the royal capital of the kingdom of Tria.

However, although these professional guilds did not provide a way for people in this world to learn combat skills and magic, they also made a certain degree of regulation for the order of this world. As for the founding era of these professional guilds, no one can say clearly, some say that they have been owned since the era of the Demon God, and some say that they were established after the era of the Hero King.

Through conversations with these mercenaries and businessmen, Su Yan also had a general understanding of the rules and composition of this world.

In this world, the average level of the vast majority of people is only at the level of the professional level, that is, the level of eleven to twenty in "Eternity". Some people, through their own efforts, or various coincidental conditions, can easily break through their own realm barriers and reach the level of master, which is equivalent to the level of twenty-one to thirty-five in "Eternity".

However, the stage from level 31 to level 35 is a relatively special stage, and it also needs to break through its own realm barrier once.

And above level thirty-six, it is also called the hero level, so the stage from level thirty-one to level thirty-five is also called a hero candidate in this world. It is said that a considerable number of people are able to reach this stage through their own diligence.

But the real hero level, it is said that only those talented geniuses are likely to set foot in, and the vast majority of hero candidates will be limited to this stage.

As for the definition of genius, according to the mercenaries, they can easily master various combat skills.

However, these words felt very incredible to Su Yan's ears.

Because the definition of these levels is the same as in "Eternity". Even the vast majority of combat skills and magic, whether it is the name or the power effect, etc., are exactly the same as those skills in "Eternity".

But the strange thing is that the lack of combat skills and magic in this world is very serious.

Especially magic.

This is not only reflected in the fact that there are more combat professionals than magic professionals.

Most of the combat skill professionals who can step into the hero level have mastered at least one fourth-order combat skill that is also at the hero level, and some strong people have even mastered two or three skills. It is even rumored that some people have mastered a fifth-order combat technique that is stronger than the fourth-order.

However, in terms of magic skills, the level of magic in this world is generally still at the level of the first order, and only a very small number of people can master and control the magic of the second and third orders. As for the fourth-order magic, it seems that only one magician who serves the royal family in the entire Tria Kingdom has it, which is why the Trian royal family is now able to intimidate the four border dukes and even the nobles of the entire kingdom.

After all, fourth-order heroic-level magic, both in terms of power and range, is more powerful than third-order tactical-level magic.

It is worth mentioning that zero-order magic is called trick and basic magic, first-order magic is combat-level magic, and second-order magic is master-level magic. These three categories correspond to the apprentice level from level 1 to ten, the professional level from level 11 to 20, and the master level from 21 to 30. As for the third-order magic, it corresponds to the hero candidates from levels 31 to 35; The fourth rank is the thirty-sixth level of hero.

But Su Yan knew that if it was according to the class division in "Eternity".

The heroes from level 36 to level 50 are actually strictly divided into lower heroes from levels 36 to 40, median heroes from levels 41 to 45, and upper heroes from levels 46 to 50. Correspondingly, there are the fourth, fifth, and sixth orders in the magic rank.

Above the seventh order, it is called strategic-level magic, corresponding to the epic level from level 51 to level 60.

But although Su Yan knew about these contents, he couldn't announce them.

So after walking with this caravan for three days and learning enough basic information, Su Yan parted ways with them after arriving at a village and town.

Although the mercenary group felt a little sorry for Su Yan's departure, everyone still sent a blessing.

After Su Yan said goodbye to them one by one, he chose to go to the largest city in the north today: Northern Winter City the next day.

"Daddy." Anna, who was riding on Su Yan's head, said with some doubts, "Why are you separated from those uncles?" ”

"Because our destinations are different." Su Yan smiled and said, "They want to continue north, but we are going to find your mother, so we have to go to a big city with a lot of people first, so that we can find some clues." ”

"Clues? What is that? Anna asked, tilting her head and looking innocent.

"Clues...... It's just ......" Su Yan thought for a moment before replying in a more understandable way, "Do you remember what kind of place you lived in with your mother before?" ”

"Where there are a lot of trees!" Anna cheered without hesitation.

"Do you remember what people and buildings were there?"

"There are so many brothers and sisters with pointed ears! And also...... And a lot of houses built on trees! ”

"Okay." Su Yan sighed lightly, although he had asked once before, knowing that Anna didn't understand anything, but every time he heard such an answer, he was still very helpless, "What you said is a clue." …… We're going to go to the big cities now and ask if anyone knows where there are a lot of people with pointy ears and houses built on trees. ”
