Chapter 21: Waterbay City
Shaking Avril awake and looking at her hazy sleepy eyes, Angela asked in a cold voice, "How did you chase after you?" ”
"Wow, I left a five-pang on you."
As he spoke, he rubbed against Angela's chest, found a comfortable place, and fell asleep again.
Anise, a precious spice, is very sensitive to trained mice.
And this means, the aristocracy was very fond of using.
It is that anise is scarce and is not easy to be confused with other smells, and training mice is even simpler.
So, there's a shadow of James or Vivien in it.
Going downstairs, Angela ordered a breakfast, a delicate porridge, which cost Angela twenty-seven copper coins.
Originally, it was 20 copper coins, and the copper coins delivered by Angela were in good condition, so you should be able to pay less, but because of the weight, seven more coins were added.
This is a bad monetary system.
With a clang, an axe was plunged in front of Angela.
Angela raised her head, and several big men surrounded her, presumably in the same group as the mercenary from yesterday.
One of them, who looked like it should be their leader, asked with a hideous face, "You are the one who harmed our brother." ”
"If you're talking about that idiot from yesterday...... Angela nodded affirmatively, "It's me." ”
"The voice is very good, and the skin is white." The mercenary leader looked at Angela with a smile: "Chick ......"
"Bang!"
The mercenary leader's revelation collided with a fist about the size of his skull, making a dull sound, and the mercenary leader fell to the table without saying a word.
The rest of the mercenaries turned their heads, and a man in a black cloak who was taller than them stood in front of them, blocking out the sun and making them seem to be living in the shadow of this person.
The short sword pierced through and stuck in the waist of the cloaked man.
Then, the dagger was twisted, and the guy who wielded the dagger was kicked and broke his leg, holding his leg and wailing on the ground.
The arms swept across, and the two mercenaries flew out, falling to the ground and convulsing.
The two-handed greatsword was swung and snapped into the pillar with a click.
The man in the cloak turned his head away, looked at the teaser, and then kicked it out.
The teaser was immediately kicked against the wall, hung on it like a painting, and slowly slid down.
After doing all this, the cloaked man grabbed the blade stuck in his waist and pulled it out, threw it on the ground, and pulled the fainting mercenary leader to the ground with a stroke of his hand, and then sat down opposite Angela.
Angela rubbed the bridge of her nose and asked, "Carl, why did you come with me?" ”
"According to the agreement, I can't stay in this city for a long time, and I can't think of where to go, so I came to you, anyway, you are also my master."
The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.
Neither Angela nor Carl are popular with the city, Carl because of his inextricable connection to the orcs, and Angela because of her powerful destructive powers.
It would be fine if Angela was just a simple wizard, but the problem is that she wields the power of fire, which is too threatening to the city.
"Miss, your porridge."
Angela threw out two more gold coins, plus two ferry tickets and food for the last two days.
The man nodded, and asked Karl again, "Sir, what do you want?" ”
"Meat, two catties of meat, three ripe."
When the guy left, Angela took a sip of cereal, and felt that it tasted good, except that it was a little more expensive, which was good.
Two days later, Angela and they got on board.
In the Wind Castle, James received the news and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Angeles, I can't stand the toss anymore.
Descending the river, we soon left Pizarro and arrived at the city of Shuiwan in the province of Hegou.
It is a city surrounded by water, and from a distance, it looks as if it is floating in the middle of the water.
Compared to Angeles, Waterbay City is undoubtedly more prosperous.
Of course, it also has the usual style of this world city, which is divided into three districts.
As long as the water rises on the dirty river beach, the streets will be flooded, and if you want to cross the street, you can only pass it.
The relatively clean slopes, which are the territory of the rich and noble, have cleaner streets, and the consumption level here is compared with the river beach, one is in the sky and the other is underground, and the housing prices are extremely high, which is the characteristic of this place.
The Pinnacle Tower, the core of the entire Avenile City, is the residence and administrative place of the lord, and manages the entire Avenida City.
At night, the top of the pinnacle is lit up to illuminate a nearby body of water, a spectacle to behold.
And now, Angela and the three live in a modest tavern on the riverbank in Waterbay City.
They had planned to live on high slopes, but as a result, the money was lost.
And the culprit of all this, Miss Avril hung her head on the fish soup, swallowing the black bread with difficulty, and looked depressed.
When he was on the boat, Carl, who had always been strong, showed extreme discomfort, and when he finally went ashore, Angela had to help him up.
And so the parcel was on Miss Avril's shoulder.
Then, the money was lost.
Fortunately, Angela carried a purse on her body, but how much money could be put in a small purse, it was only two inferior gold coins and 12 silver pearls.
If you put this money elsewhere, you can buy 44 black loaves of bread, but Waterbay City is a commercial city, it does not produce food, and only has the purchasing power of 32 black loaves of bread.
If you want to live in Gaopo, you need to spend three or four silver pearls just for one day, and you can't afford to live at all.
As for the problem of eating brown bread, it is not because of the lack of money, but because this tavern has only these at night.
So one thing is certain, and that is that Avril is indeed a pit.
The next day, in order to get out of this haunted place early, Angela spent a silver coin to ask the tavern owner about leaving the caravan here.
Of course, it is better to go by land, and you need to hire escorts.
The boss gave the news that a caravan under the command of the lord was full of food and was going back.
Food is in great demand everywhere.
However, this way you have to pass through the territory of several lords, two of whom are hostile to that lord, and this time they are carrying a lot of food, which is likely to cause the greed of other lords, so they need more guards.
You know, the lord will not only raise caravans, but also bandits.
In many cases, the bandits are essentially regular troops, but with a different outfit.
As for the real bandits, they are not terrible, they are just some hungry and anxious people, and they can only rob some merchants who walk alone, and their combat effectiveness is worrying.
Nominally, adventurers won't accept such a mission, but in reality, as long as you're not famous, the line between adventurers and mercenaries isn't as tight as you think, just change your vest.
If others don't know you, if you don't tell you, the ghost will know whether you are an adventurer or a mercenary, and it is possible that you may turn into a robber when the time comes.
