The adventurer did not react to Shepard's approach, but let out a sigh of concern as if he were chatting with a friend.

Shepard smiled when he heard this: "Without the invasion of the storm, the young eagle will never be able to soar in the sky, this is inevitable. ”

The adventurer smiled: "Yes, you are not as impetuous as those guys, Sidney, my name, Sidney Henry, a destitute old fellow. ”

"You can call me Shepard," the doppelganger said casually, this adventurer has a surname, it seems that the ancestor may have been broad, but judging from his strength, he may have a family behind him.

"But I've never seen a poor ghost wear Mithril inner armor." Shepard deliberately stopped his gaze on the turban, inner armor, and staff, the other party was a seasoned adventurer, and some meanings could be expressed without words.

Sidney leaned lazily against the barrel, unconcerned about the filth on it: "Oh, you must know that any old fellow will always have some family background, and I am no exception. ”

Shepard laughed, "Are you very old?" With your strength, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, you are still like this, right? ”

The adventurer snorted: "That's not it, I'm in my early thirties, hey, if I wasn't young at that time...... Well, this trip back to the Old World, I plan to go back to my hometown to see, after my parents died, I haven't been back for ten years! ”

Shepard looked at him, the instability of the breath and the dark wound of vitality are not difficult to detect from the perspective of the gods, it seems that the other party has indeed had a story, such an encounter makes Shepard nostalgic for his past life, as if he met a free NPC on a chance journey.

And such encounters often represent opportunities and stimuli.

So he asked casually: "So young, do you want to go back to retire?" For example, owning a vineyard and basking in the sun and drinking wine from your own estate? ”

Sidney laughed a few times and said lightly: "Your proposal is very good, I will consider it, but I have some things to do when I go back...... I've thought about it a lot over the years, and now I understand that Lady Fortune teaches us that anyone who owes us money is our mortal enemy! There are some old accounts, it's time to settle them. ”

"This is really Workin's style of asking for money...... "Shepard spat in his heart, the character of the doppelganger is much more lively than the body, perhaps it is also the influence of the perennial travel, he said casually: "Where is your hometown?" Listen to your accent, it doesn't look like someone near the [Tessel Kingdom]. ”

Sidney said lazily, "No, I grew up in the Kingdom of Am, but before that, I was born further north, over the mountains and fields, at the end of the river, looking at the place where the sea and the sky meet. ”

"Huh? Were you born at Baldur's Gate? Shepard said in surprise.

Sidney was even more surprised, he opened his mouth and said in surprise: "The gold is on it!" Do you know Baldur's Gate? ”

Of course, I also knew that the specialty there was the Killing of the Divine Son...... of course, I couldn't say the inner complaint, so the doppelganger's answer was: "I'm a traveler!" Sword Bay is a legendary place, and Baldur's Gate is a legendary place, and I know that you have a classic motto: 'Those who fight monsters, watch out for ......'"

"'Don't make yourself a monster; When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you. Sidney continued Shepard's words, and laughed, "It seems that you do know my hometown well. ”

"Of course, it's a wonderful city, a 'transit point to everything,' right?"

"Hey, yes, I like your description......" Sidney smiled, and then his face darkened slightly, not knowing what to remember, but the change in his expression was only in the blink of an eye, and the next moment he looked at the clone with a smile again.

"Since you've been to Baldur's Gate, you won't miss the Sea of Swords, right?"

"I've been, I've also been to the Supreme Wasteland and the Dragon Forest, and I originally wanted to go to the Silver Moon Alliance to see it, but unfortunately the dragons and Yalings and the druids of the Supreme Forest were very nervous at that time, so for safety reasons, I changed my route to the Sunset Mountains."

In fact, it was a time in the previous life when the players of the Silver Moon Alliance started a certain large-scale mission, so that the Silver Moon Alliance went to war with several nearby forces, and casual players like Shepard preferred to do quests or dig up plots rather than throw themselves into the battlefield meat grinder.

Sidney sighed suddenly, "I heard that the elect of the Goddess of Magic of the Silvermoon Federation is also considering participating in this expedition...... You haven't been back in a long time, have you? Now not only the Sword Bay and the Sword Sea, but also the Shining Sea and the Traceless Sea, there are fleets that set off for the New World. ”

"Thousands of adventurers, thieves, robbers, bankrupts, second sons without inheritance...... All kinds of people rushed to that strange world, as if there was really a river of gold and silver flowing there, as the rumors say, heh. ”

Shepard smiled faintly: "People's hearts are eager for sudden wealth and wealth, since you believe in women, don't you understand?" ”

"Haha, it's easy to sigh when you're older," Sidney smiled, "I haven't seen such a scene in many years, there is no floating city that disappeared from the era of the Magic Empire, there are no gods that suddenly fall everywhere, and there are no crazy people who kill people everywhere for no reason...... Although there are still wars in the kingdom and castles, and from time to time you can hear news of evil gods or demons sacrificing, but the chaos has not been there for many years. ”

Shepard can understand the mentality of adventurers very well, this is the world they live in, after seeing too much swords and swords, most people are eager for a peaceful and peaceful old age, only players will always crave excitement and change, because they are not dead, so they are fearless.

Suddenly I thought about it, the gods are not like this, the elect and the doppelgangers are like the game characters of the gods, and the church and the believers are also at their command, and they can play role-playing if they want to play role-playing, and they can play strategy chess if they want to play strategic chess.

Shepard thought for a moment and subconsciously whispered a few words.

Sidney was a little distracted, didn't notice what the clone was saying, just stared at the junction of the boundless ocean and the sky in the distance, Shepard stood next to him for a while, and then left silently.

In the next few days, the two of them became more familiar, and after observing a circle, they found that in addition to the priest of the Church of the Good God, Sidney, an old adventurer, was the strongest, and the two also verbally agreed that Shepard would visit him in his hometown if there was a chance.

This time, the fleet did not go to Tassel, but arrived at Askatra, the largest port city in the west of the Kingdom of Am, Shepard disembarked first, and Sidney followed the fleet to continue inland.

……

There are two great rivers in the south and north of the kingdom of Am, the Esmir River in the south flows out from the [Viper Forest] in the northeast and flows into the Sword Sea across the southern part of the kingdom, while the Amm River in the north flows out of the Cloud Mountains, not only hitting the deep and light Luohu Lake, but also flowing through the north of the kingdom to reach the Sword Sea.

Shepard disembarked near the mouth of the River Am, and then rode in a carriage to a city in the middle of the River, where his first goal of returning to the Old World was his first goal.

"Cremur, known as the city of Sands, is this the first time the guests have come?"

The experienced coachman controlled the horses and walked smoothly on the smooth stone paved road, and the city was clearly visible in the distance, and the long queue waiting to enter the city looked like centipedes in the distance.

In response to the coachman's warm introduction and questions, Shepard smiled lightly: "No, I've been here a few times before, and Kremour is indeed a wealthy city, and I remember a hotel where I stayed at the beginning, and the owner would give a tender lamb chop to the guests staying in the upper class room every night. ”

The coachman laughed and said, "The guest is talking about Old Hank's [head up] inn, right?" Haha, he's always been known for his generosity, and he gave me a glass of ale when I passed by there! It was the best ale I've ever drunk in my life, without a drop of water! But old Hank is not in good health, and now it is his youngest son who is in charge of the hotel, just as generous as his father! ”

"Okay, then when we enter the city, let's go there, and then I'll settle the money for you, and you can go."

When the coachman heard this, he thanked him happily, and settled directly with him, so that he could take some of the expenses and go back and say that it was a discount for the guests, and the carriage dealer usually acquiesced in such a thing, which was still a small investigation task in the previous life, and Shepard also did it.

The task reward is that the carriage fee in the city is 95% off, and the disadvantage is that the coachman's friendliness is automatically -10, and there are many people who do the task, and there are very few rewards, because the carriage fee can't save a few dollars, but these coachmen are well-informed, know a lot of rumors, and offend them to invisibly lack a lot of clues that can be mined.

After paying the entrance fee, the carriage traveled on the bluestone slab of Creemore, which was more stable than the road outside the city, Shepard smiled at the lively scene outside, and suddenly asked casually: "How is the security of Cremmor lately?" ”

The coachman replied: "I heard that many people are missing, and the others are fine, but most of the missing people are those homeless people and beggars, and they are all at night, and there is nothing to do during the day, so as long as you don't run around at night, you should be fine." ”

Shepard snorted, thoughtful: there are still more missing people...... Looks like I'm here at the right time.

While pondering, the carriage slowly stopped, Shepard jumped out of the car and settled the account with the coachman, saw the coachman leave happily, turned around and saw a clean inn, and walked two steps forward, and saw the eye-catching sign at the entrance of the store, which said "Raise your head high".
