The sun in the middle of winter has long lost its former momentum, and the gray sky is like a thick goose down quilt, isolating the hot lines. The cold sky shone with a hint of gold, and the frozen earth was immersed in a biting cold.

Rays of sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds shone on the black round arches at the end of the road. On both sides of the suspension bridge made of oak patchwork, the moat clings to the black stone wall with no end in sight.

On the roof of the gate tower behind the drawbridge, some guards in gray leather armor walked back and forth with their spears in hand, while others checked the passing carriages and pedestrians under the gate. And in the deep shooting holes on the gatehouse, there are also soldiers with longbows vigilantly monitoring the movement of the intersection below. Outsiders don't know it, but no one wants to take such a risk.

"Someone's coming! Attention the following brothers under the notice of the pipe! Standing high and looking far away, the guards on the city wall saw two black shadows, one large and one small, at the end of his vision.

"Let me see if it's time to open?" The other guard, who was rubbing his hands on the battlements, also got up and looked wide-eyed. Then came a sigh: "Alas! Don't be happy, brothers! It's just a few adventurers who don't have much oil and water, and it's not a caravan. ”

The guard, who had just asked someone to pass the message, stamped his feet and asked, "Could this be the vanguard, are you sure there is really no caravan behind?" ”

"My Balthazar's eyes are all the best in Hammer City? If it weren't for my old age and stiff hands and feet, I would still be a marksman in the bow battalion! Balthazar immediately gave a look of love or disbelief.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for four dusty adventurers to appear in everyone's eyes. The way of riding, one large, one small, two people and one horse does not look like a method that caravans would use. Obviously, the previous Balthazar's eyes were limited to those of his companions, but years of experience had given him room to be tricky.

Four or five days is not a short ride. And along the way are a large area of mountain forests, and there is no wild inn for travelers to rest, which can be described as a wind meal and camping! Coupled with Barrett and the others galloping all the way, the image looks a bit wolf these days.

After paying a few copper plates to enter the city under the disappointed eyes of the guards at the city gate, the four players, who were almost about to become wilderness dwellers, finally reached the destination of their trip.

Unofficial personnel are not allowed to ride horses in the city, which is not only a decree owned by Falling Hammer City, but also a common rule in many small towns to ensure order in the city. The order of dismounting and paying taxes and entering the city can be said to have lasted for a hundred years.

"The next thing is to go to ......" Rielly, who was leading the horse in front, was about to say the next plan of action, and Cor was immediately overshadowed by Barrett's loud voice: "Don't you think it's too rude for us to visit each other's house with a dusty body?" Look at the bloodshot in your eyes, I don't know and think you're looking for trouble! The most important thing now is to find a place to rest and recuperate. After recuperating in our spirits, we will go to the house of the host who invited us to come this time. ”

After saying this, Barrett immediately gave the kitten man a hint. Laru took a deep breath and jumped onto Rieli's shoulder, reaching out to gagged her mouth as she whispered something in her ear. It can be seen that the two of them have already planned in advance.

Immediately after that, Barrett arranged things before Rieli could react: "Noodles, do you know which is the best hotel in Falling Hammer City?" When the horses are returned to the dealership, we need warm beds when it's hot. ”

"Don't worry! If only you would have come along. The halfling immediately trotted ahead to lead the way, and from time to time jumped to avoid the "mines" on the road.

Led by Laru, the group soon saw a sign carved with a bed on the corner of the street. Hanging the sign is a small three-story building made of red bricks. On one side of the small building, there is a walkway for two people, leading to the stable behind which the livestock are temporarily stored.

Barrett instructed the two little men around him to keep an eye on the sulking Rielly and pushed the door in. The wind chimes hanging on them suddenly played a brisk sound, informing the owner that a guest had come to the door.

When you step inside, you will find the tavern on the first floor with seven round tables. What Barrett didn't expect was that the tavern was unexpectedly large, and the passage between the tables was designed to allow for free passage even when the table was full. But this is clearly not the time for the tavern to do a good job, with only one of the seven tables open.

Just as Barrett stepped into the room, a middle-aged man behind the tavern bar greeted him loudly: "Welcome to Mr. Farlis's Inn, hurry up and roast by the fire, it's really cold outside." ”

The round middle-aged man behind the bar, with a brown-red beard under his round head, made people feel like he could talk to an anvil. After rounding the bar, the 'rolling' walked up to Barrett with a smile on his face, "Are you here to stay or are you going to have a drink?" ”

"There are two double rooms on the third floor, and there should be no problem for people to arrange hot water for washing! If it's okay, the boss will introduce you by the way! Barrett pulled a gold coin from his waist and tossed it in his hand.

Generally speaking, the higher the floor of these taverns and inns, the better the condition of the rooms, and of course, the more expensive they are. Players like Barrett aren't really "adventurers", and if they can be kind to themselves, they will never save money and make themselves suffer.

The middle-aged man introduced his fist product to Barrett with a red face: "No problem, of course no problem." Speaking of food, our honey ham here is good! There are also cherry wood smoked chicken breasts that many people like, and the west-cut beef leg is a specialty of our Hammer Town......"

Barrett knows very well about the cats behind these taverns and inns (even in reality, you can see the tavern cleaner who wipes the toilet and wipes the glass), and it is good to believe that the boss can believe in the words. But if you pay so much attention to going out, you really can't live that day.

Of course, more importantly, Barrett's attention was immediately drawn to the rest of his words: "Hammer Town? Isn't it Hammer City? ”

"Sir, do you really think we are here to be called an upper city? It's just a big town. It is their own business that the officials and gentlemen above love face, and the people who live here call this place Falling Hammer Town. The tavernkeeper touched his slippery head and said.

Sure enough, this kind of thing can't be avoided everywhere! Barrett remembered some bad memories again, but in the blink of an eye he quietly adjusted.

"Come on in, guys, there's a room here." After saying hello to the outside world, Barrett said to the boss: "Let's just come to the first three types of food!" Two large parts and two small parts. By the way, we were given four more glasses of warm milk. ”

"Yes sir!" When the boss got the answer, he immediately turned his head and shouted behind the bar, "Prepare hot water......"

Then a group of four people came down the stairs to the third floor under the leadership of 'Rolling', and stopped at the room on the left and right of the staircase, and the round bearded boss opened the door and walked in: "Not bad! I'm sure there's no room in the whole town of Hammer like mine! ”

The mouth is beautiful, but in the room, except for the two beds, even the chair and table are the same. Fortunately, it looks quite clean, but there is a faint smell of vanilla in the air, and the dried herbs hanging on the wall purify the air very well.

"Not bad! We are quite satisfied. With that, Barrett pulled out his money bag.

After collecting the money paid by Gehr, the innkeeper went downstairs happily. In a short time, a cook of the same size brought a few plates of food - and it was a shame that he could afford so many plates.

Although it can only be considered a 'crop' in the countryside in terms of food, for players who have been struggling in the wild for four or five days, these hot meals are enough.

Looking at the mage who was gritting his teeth even when he ate, Barrett put down the spoon in his hand: "Rielly, I know you're still angry. But the risk of this mission is so great, we can't just dive into it. ”

"Originally, the mission was in a hurry, but when you get here, you don't go to see the client right away, what do you mean?" The tray in her hand slammed down on the table, and Rielly's suppressed anger exploded this time.

"Be quiet, I'm afraid the wall has ears!" With that, Barrett gave Noodle a look, and the latter immediately went to the top of the hallway to stand guard.

"I just don't want to let people know so early that we have something to do with the Sainoa family this time." Barrett lowered his voice, "The authenticity of the message on the mission commission is questionable, and the content of the commission is a little vague. In this case, the first thing we need to do is to get the information about the cause and effect of the incident ourselves. I don't even have a chance to run away. ”

"I know there's a risk here, but is it necessary to be careful about it?" Rielly asked, incredulous.

Barrett accentuated his tone: "Be careful, it's not a big mistake! If anything, maybe all the strange faces in this town have been on the radar of some guy for a few days. ”
