Chapter 37: The Town of Gurudin
Upon entering the town of Guruddin, Mukai felt like he had stepped into a huge construction site.
Scaffolding made of wood was everywhere, craftsmen were climbing up and down, diligently repairing the crumbling walls, carts carrying materials were passing around, spilling sand and bricks on the ground, building materials were piled up everywhere in the city, and the townspeople were cleaning up collapsed houses, and the sound of "jingling bells" and shouts mingled together to make the whole city extremely noisy.
The fact that the impregnable town has been battered to is a testament to the terrible battles it has experienced.
The caravan from the village of Gurudin caused a great sensation, and although it was not large, it was the first caravan to arrive here since the outbreak of the war.
After the war, the material situation became extremely scarce, and people hoped that trade could be resumed as soon as possible, and the port of Gurudin was already operational, but because of the threat of the gnolls, no caravans were willing to come.
The successful arrival of this dwarven caravan shows that the problem of the jackals has been properly solved, and the war mercenary group to solve this trouble has also become the focus of attention.
Norman was very familiar with the town of Gurudin, and under his leadership, the caravan avoided several roads under construction, and it didn't take much time to reach the branch of the Iron Gate Guild in the town of Gurudin.
Several dwarves stood at the door and waited, and when they saw the convoy entering the courtyard, the old dwarf led by them immediately greeted them.
"Oops! Finally, we are looking forward to it, and if it drags on, we will all go bankrupt and go bankrupt. ”
"Greetings, President Rikadio."
Norman respectfully saluted the old dwarf, and then introduced him to Cloun.
"This Excellency is the leader of the War Mercenary Regiment, and thanks to the efforts of your mercenary friends, we can get rid of those terrible jackals."
"I'm Rikadio, the person in charge here, thank you so much!"
The old dwarf took Crane's hand and shook it vigorously, "Thank you so much, you don't know, my beard has turned white these days!" ”
"Hey, Grandpa Rikadio, your beard has always been white."
Salene had just followed Mu Kai into the courtyard when she heard the old dwarf's complaint.
Rikadio's beard has a distinctly dwarven character, long and thick, with a large gray beard hanging down to the lower abdomen, and a few locks are braided.
He wore a pale green robe, a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses, and a small hexagonal hat on his head.
"Yo, it turned out to be our little Saran here, is your grandfather okay?"
"Grandpa is in good health, but he's getting more and more verbose."
Salene smiled and pointed to the badge on her chest, and said, "I'm also a mercenary now, and I still have a share of the commission you give." ”
Only then did the old dwarf notice that Salene was also wearing the insignia of the War Mercenary Regiment.
"Haha, little Salene has grown up!"
He gave Sarayn a thumbs up, and then said to Clun, "Captain Clun, I also have a batch of goods here to deliver to Gurudin's village, do you accept this commission?" ”
"When are you leaving?" Crawn asked.
"Of course, the sooner the better, that guy Moke, I guess I'm going crazy, if you agree, the caravan will be ready tomorrow, and it will leave early the day after tomorrow."
The old dwarf was not ambiguous at all.
"President Rikadio, since you're in such a hurry, why don't you find another mercenary group to escort you?" Mu Kai said suddenly.
"Alas, the whole city has been destroyed, those mercenaries have suffered heavy losses, and it was not easy to survive until the end of the war, how do they say that they have to rest for a while, even the black lion mercenary group, isn't it helpless against those jackals now? I heard that there are not enough people, and there are many small mercenary groups, and I heard that they have all been crossed. ”
After the old dwarf sighed and complained, Mu Kai said: "There should be no problem in escorting the caravan to Gurudin's village, and the specific details will be discussed with our regimental leader." ”
After a few pleasantries, Mu Kai came out of the dwarf warehouse, the mercenaries had not yet disbanded, he immediately gathered the two Ariana siblings, Kaizhe, Grizzly, Goth and others, and squatted on the side of the road to explain a few things.
"In short, the current situation is like this, before leaving, the most important task is to recruit people, there are still many scattered mercenaries and adventurers in this city, with the current prestige of the war, it shouldn't be too difficult to recruit people, this matter is still in charge of Ari and Yana."
After the half-elf brother and sister nodded in agreement, Mu Kai continued: "Uncle and Grizzly Bear introduce some more acquaintances over, and the others try to cooperate as much as possible." In addition, if we have to find a way to recruit a few mages of the healing system and the auxiliary department, the treatment is not a problem, as long as the requirements are not too outrageous, we can agree, if this shortcoming is not made up, there will be no way to control the casualties, and it will be difficult for our combat effectiveness to be improved. ”
After the matter is explained, the mercenaries disband on the spot, and those who have tasks go to complete their tasks, and those who have nothing to do go to the bar for recreation.
Mukai left behind a thief named Paul, the young thief who looked inconspicuous but was a nimble man.
"Now, there's something you need to go to the Strange Rock, would you like to go?"
The young thief nodded, "It's my honor to serve you!" ”
Mu Kai's rise is like a legend, an ordinary peasant boy, with his own efforts, he has achieved amazing results in a short period of time, his deeds, everyone in the war mercenary group knows, this young thief is naturally no exception, he even regards Mu Kai as his idol and goal.
"That's right, you go to Qiyan Town, go to the Mage Guild to find the magic teacher Luo Ya, take back a credential from her, you just need to say the code, Luo Ya will give you the credential."
Mu Kai leaned forward and whispered, "'Cover the moon with your hands, the moonlight is still there', remember, this is the code." ”
Despite all the doubts in his mind, Paul agreed without hesitation.
"Don't tell anyone else about this, and don't say anything more to Loya."
Mu Kai took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to the young thief, and said solemnly: "The Horseshoe Mountains are not safe now, you can pass through the execution ground when you arrive at Dean, don't be too hasty on the road, be careful of those mandalas." ”
"Understood, do as you instructed, and I'll leave immediately."
The young thief took the gold coin, turned and walked away cleanly.
The credentials in the hands of the magic teacher Loya can take out a two-hundred-year-old notebook in the warehouse of Gurudin's village, which is the complete version of the "Revelation of Kesha" that her ancestors once copied, recording the true history of creation, as well as some truths that have been hidden by history.
From the book of Revelation, we can get a glimpse of the secrets of the gods.
