Setty's light sail sailed down the Morro River, and in just a few days, it sailed into the hinterland of the Nine Nation Business Alliance. As an open surface of water appeared, the Morro River suddenly made a ninety-degree turn in place, and the sight was empty, and on the plain in the distance, a majestic city rose from the ground.

Koster stood on the bow deck and looked out, with Ferda by his side. Ever since Mage Setty agreed to teach Lolita to practice magic, the two of them have locked themselves in the cabin and rarely come out in the past few days, and Feida has even had to deliver Lolita's food directly to the room during meal time.

For the rest of the day, Ferda had a rare time to spare, and would accompany Koster on the upper deck. Sometimes the two fished in the bow of the boat, and sometimes Feida would accompany Xter to practice martial arts, but more often than not, Xter would move a chair and sit on the deck, watching the scenery on both sides of the Morro River while telling Feida the adventures in the book.

When the huge walls of Manning City came into view, Kost couldn't help but cheer, it was the farthest away he had ever been in his life, and the cheer caused Feida to chuckle.

After a few days together, the relationship between the two became more harmonious, Feida was young, and Kerst often changed his ways to play tricks on Feida, causing Feida to scream again and again, but Feida was not angry, sometimes she would remember that in the dark inn room of the Kaman royal capital, she fainted in front of this hateful fellow.

Compared with the calm Lolita, the lively and sharp-toothed Feida has an appetite for Caster. Therefore, in front of Princess Lolita, Kerst always has a polite and noble lord demeanor. And when he is with Feida, Kerst will become the young and active young man again, and there is no lord frame at all.

Hearing the sailboatman's horn, Mage Setty stepped out of the cabin. Seeing that he had arrived in Manning City, Master Setty instructed Kester, "Let's stop here for two days of rest." I have some things that I need to visit some of my friends in Manning City. If you're interested, Lord Koster, you might as well get off the ship and go to Manning City to see what to see. Remember to bring Feida with you, Her Royal Highness Lolita will study in the room for the next two days, so you won't have to worry about her. ”

Kester had already thought of getting off the boat, and when he heard Master Setie say this, he nodded in agreement. So Koster and Ferda, after the boat had stopped at the dock, disembarked with Setie.

Mage Set's friend was in the inner city of Manning, and shortly after the three of them disembarked, Master Seti left on his own, and Ferda and Kerst wandered aimlessly around Manning City.

Unlike a small country like the Principality of Kaman, as the core of the Nine-Nation Business Alliance, Manning is the most extensive. The city of Manning, the capital, is also a city on the banks of the Morro River, with an area more than five times the size of the capital of the Kaman king. The Chairman's Council of the Chamber of Commerce (Note 1), the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild, and the embassies of the allied countries are all located in Manning City.

A bigger city means a bigger market, a bigger population, and the Manning City market is crowded with merchants from all over the world, one stall after another, and shoppers from all over the world are standing or squatting together in different accents and different clothes.

Kester and Xiao Mu naively estimated the flow of people in the market, and originally wanted to take a good look at the two of them in Manning City, but at this time they were squeezed by the flow of people, and just now Feida wanted to see a headdress, but before he could stand firmly, he was squeezed to the stall selling urinals next door.

Seeing the beautiful headdress in front of her turn into a black and bare urinal, Feida couldn't help but look at Kester with a wry smile with a "look at how you do it" expression. Caster almost burst out laughing, but under the white eyes of Feida, he had to stretch out two strong arms, and use his natural good body to brutally squeeze through the crowd around him, turning a deaf ear to the invective coming from all around, and finally squeezed back in front of the vendor selling the headdress.

The red sun went down, and the time of the day passed again. The two of them, who had been "fighting" with merchants from all over the world for a day in Manning Market, were tired and staggered. Fortunately, the results were quite rich, and there were a bunch of things hanging on Kerster's body, large and small, all of which were things that Feida had bought for herself and her family, Miss Lolita. Fortunately, Kster has perennial martial arts practice and has more strength than ordinary people, otherwise I am really afraid that I will not be able to cope with it.

The two of them were so tired that they couldn't walk, and Feida was still cheering and chattering, and it was easy to see a store selling juice, and they agreed to sit down and take a breath. Not long after he sat down, Koster was about to make fun of Feida's shopping spree when he heard a familiar shout "Hey, Koster!"

Nicker turned his head to look, and not far down the street, the chief hunter Green, dressed in a black adventure suit, was there, smiling at him.

Green had just come out of the Adventurers' Guild, and after walking a short distance, he found Koster sitting in a shop along the street, with an exotic girl with him.

Koster was also very excited to see Green, although everyone didn't get along for a long time in the Sunset Mountains, but the calm and resourceful Green still gave Koster a good impression. At that time, when I left the Cache Manor, I made an appointment with Green to say goodbye, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon.

After a pleasant exchange, Kerst introduced Ferda to Green, saying that they were companions and were going to travel to San Jose. Green looked at Chester and Ferda with a knowing look, and invited Chester to visit the Adventurers' Guild headquarters not far away. The inquisitive Kerst did not refuse, and took Feida to follow Grimm.

The Adventurers' Guild, an organization founded after the end of the First Continental War, was founded by various countries to establish an international cooperative organization to rid the remnants of the Magic Empire. Some neutrals who are reluctant to enter the armies of various countries voluntarily choose to become members of the Adventurers' Guild.

Later, after years of evolution, the current Adventurer's Guild has become the largest mercenary task release center, adventure product trading center and mainland intelligence sales center on the mainland, and of course retains the function of tracking down abnormal events in the mainland.

Standing in front of the "Tower of Babel" (Note 2) at the headquarters of the Manning Adventurers' Guild, Koster felt like a fool who had never seen the world. In the past, he always thought that Carman's Adventurer Club was already a very imposing building, but he didn't expect it to be a small dilapidated building compared to the club.

Green patted the already stupid Kerster, "Let's go, don't be stunned, go in and see." ”

Feida secretly smiled on the sidelines. After all, their master and servant are from another majestic city on the mainland, "Kyoto City", and the Red Fort is the most magnificent building complex on the mainland, and this Manning's "Tower of Babel" can not surprise her.

Following Green into the tower, Kist found that it was not as dark as he imagined in the tower, and under the bright lights, there was a noisier market in the tower than outside.

Green took Koster through the crowd and came to the center of the tower, explaining to Kester, "The Adventurer's Guild is already the most complete and complete adventure product trading market for mainlanders, so the first floor of our general association is basically occupied by adventurers who come to shop.

The upper layer is the intelligence center and the mission release center, and adventurers from all over the world are basically active on the lower three floors. It can be said that our Manning headquarters is a holy place in the hearts of adventurers all over the world. ”

Caster was speechless, thinking to himself that he really looked like a hillbilly.

Unexpectedly, there was something even more shocking later. There is a strange iron cage in the center of the tower, Green took Koster and Feida into the iron cage, closed the iron door, pulled the copper bell next to the door, and with a mechanical creak, Koster found that he actually followed the iron cage to rise little by little, and soon came to the upper floor.

Koster looked shocked, surprised and couldn't speak. Instead, Feida looked around with interest. Kester said angrily, "Feida, why are you so calm. ”

Feida snorted and laughed, "Isn't it a floating ladder (Note 3), we also have it in the Red Fort of San Jose." ”

For the third time today, Kerst feels like a hillbilly.

The upper area of the Tower of Babel is much quieter. I don't know what soundproofing is installed, the rooms on the upper floor are quiet, and some hunters walk by in a hurry. Green explained to Kester in a low voice that there were a lot of things that the guild had to deal with lately, and everyone was busy.

Follow Green to the chief hunter's office. It is a huge oval room, surrounded by transparent glass decorations, through which you can see the circular martial arts training ground outside. It is not surprising that you can see the martial arts training ground here, compared to the ability to deal with affairs, martial arts is also one of the abilities that adventurers need to take the test. On the four walls of the room hung the heads of some wild beasts, and at a cursory glance, he had already seen the "fire wolf", "berserk bear", "giant camel antelope", "windwalker" (Note 4) and other beasts common on the mainland.

"Uncle Green, your decoration here is really chic. Chester teased.

"These are the spoils of adventures over the years, and that's what I'll do. It's not like you nobles, and if you want me to say, aren't these more magnificent than the ancestral portraits in your castle?" Green laughed.

"Hahahaha. Kester smirked, and Feida rolled her eyes at Kester, "This idiot. ”

Green opened the wine cabinet, took out a large bottle of tequila, and pulled the two of them to sit down to drink.

Feida didn't know if it was because of her special physique or what, and the little blushing that she had already drunk was fluttering, and her green pupils were getting clearer and brighter. Green looked at Feida with a smile, and suddenly said in an encouraging tone, "Feida, little girl, let's go to the martial arts arena to practice?"

Although Feida was not drunk, she was stupid and didn't think about it so much, and when she saw that Caster was unconscious, she was dragged into the martial arts arena by Green. She didn't expect that Green's friend was known as the chief hunter, so why did he have to compete with herself, and Feida didn't mention that she knew martial arts. Moreover, he inexplicably wants to compete with himself for some reason.

But at this time, she didn't think about it so much, Green had already thrown over a slender one-handed sword, took off her shirt herself, picked up another big sword, and waved at Feida, "Come on!"
