Chapter 13: The Rising Tide (4)
"Dear adventurers! I don't know if what you're saying is true, but I still believe it's true, so welcome to the Rohan Empire! Welcome to Paranon! Mayor Ferrosara sat quietly in his chair, and he looked at Chen Kai and them for more than ten minutes. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network) During the whole process, except for a few words spoken by Captain Pol at the beginning, no one said anything, and he did not ask Chen Kai about them. However, his last words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, because neither Chen Kai nor the garrison of Paranon wanted to confront each other.
Chen Kai's side doesn't want to get into trouble, while Bol's side can't beat it. As for Chen Kai and them, if the old mayor really wants to make trouble for them, then they may not be able to move an inch in the Rohan Empire in the coming days, so they really don't want to cause trouble. As for Captain Pol, if the old mayor really wants to trouble Chen Kai and them, once the other party arrests them, then it will be really difficult to take down Chen Kai and his party by relying on them. Even if they are now in Paranon Town, there are almost no powerhouses in the entire town whose strength is above the eighth order, and the strongest is the old mayor, the former seventh-order swordsman, who is now old and frail, and only the fifth order remains. Of course, that was subordinate to the strength of Paranon Town, and in fact Paranon's most powerful force was not the garrison or the old mayor himself, but the mercenaries of Paranon.
Since Paranon is located to the left of the Lost Forest, there are incidents of monsters hurting people every year. Therefore, the inhabitants of Paranon have to face the threat of monsters many times, and at the same time, it also causes the men of Paranon to have an unusually brave character. The fact is that the bravest soldiers of the entire Rohan Empire came from areas like Paranon that were close to the border, and because of their fierce nature, they were not very obedient in the army, because they would only obey those who were stronger than them. This meant that the commanders of the Rohan Empire had to be powerful, as they had to use their strength to subdue the unruly soldiers. But in fact, there are very few commanders in the Rohan Empire who can really rely on their strength to subdue the soldiers, because the folk customs in the border areas are so strong that the strength of the soldiers recruited from the border areas is stronger every year. In the end, those who were too powerful could not become officers, so they could only return to their hometowns to work as farmers or join mercenary groups, and mercenaries and mercenary groups like Paranon were the real main force guarding the town.
These mercenaries, who usually work as farmers at home or hunt in the Lost Forest, are the real military strength that Paranon relies on, and the Rohan have a very respectable trait, which is the extreme respect for the elderly. Because of this, most of the border town chiefs and village chiefs are not powerful cunzii, but a group of bad old men who have been sergeants or mercenaries. Although the mercenaries did not necessarily kneel and kowtow to the old people, it was difficult for them to raise their voices when facing these old people, because these old men were basically at the level of their fathers. However, if there is nothing special, it will be difficult for the local mayor to command those mercenaries in general. So if Chen Kai and the others really resisted, it was estimated that it would be difficult for the old mayor to get those mercenaries to help chase them, of course, it seemed that there was nothing to do on both sides now. After the old mayor finished speaking, all the soldiers slowly put down the weapons in their hands, and the soldier who had been careless about Chen Yi slowly stepped forward to ask for Chen Yi's forgiveness.
It's just that when Chen Kai and the others hadn't completely stood up, a bell suddenly rang on the Paranon city wall, and then a sharp siren sounded. Although Chen Kai didn't know what was going on, he was sure that it was definitely not a good thing.
"What's going on! Captain Pol, hurry up and send someone to investigate! Mayor Philosalla snorted and stood up from his chair, he had always felt that something was going to happen lately, and it was because of this that he had kept the comfort of the mayor's mansion at the gates. It's just that he didn't expect the alarm bell to be remembered at this time, and listening to the urgency of the alarm bell, Cheng Dù obviously had something urgent to do.
"I'm sorry! I guess I can't take a few of them to visit the town, so please go into the town and take shelter first! When it's over, I'll help you get a pass! After seeing Captain Pol walking away quickly, Mayor Ferrosara arched his hand towards Chen Kai and said slowly, and then pushed his hand to the side to signal the other party to leave on his own. Seeing the anxiety flashing on the old mayor's face, Chen Kai knew that Paranon was definitely in trouble, but he was not familiar with the other party now, otherwise he might be able to get a task from the other party. But now Chen Kai can only salute the other party and leave slowly, in fact, even if he has the heart to help the other party, he doesn't have the strength now, because they really need to rest.
It's just that when Chen Kai walked into the center of the town, he saw a few mercenaries covered in blood being helped and walked to the old mayor's side, and they seemed to be talking about something. It's just that Chen Kai can't hear it from too far away, and the font won't be displayed on the brain door of the original inhabitant dialogue in the game, so he can't see it. However, Chen Kai believed that soon he would know what the two sides were talking about, because there was one less person behind him at the moment, and that was Fei Yun, who was a thief, was gone.
Ten minutes later, Chen Kai and the others followed the road to find the largest hotel in Paranon Town, which is called Night Blue Grass is very famous in Paranon. Not only because the inn is the largest in Paranon, but also because of its famous night blue grass fruit wine. This wine is famous in the town of Paranon or in the whole of Andoson, and is made every summer when the bluegrass begins to bear fruit on the night, and it is also the time when a large number of Andoson wine merchants flock to Paranon. The cultivation of night bluegrass became the most important agricultural project in the town of Paranon, and the inn named after the town's most famous night bluegrass became famous. Because of this, when Chen Kai asked the residents on the side which inn was the best in Palanong, they did not hesitate to say the Night Blue Grass Hotel.
When Chen Kai slowly pushed open the door of the hotel, there was already another person behind him. After leaving the team for more than ten minutes, Fei Yun reappeared in the team, in fact, Chen Kai and they went around the town for a long time, not to recognize the way, but to wait for Fei Yun. If Fei Yun appeared in the hotel after Chen Kai and the others had stayed at the hotel, then it would seem that he was too abrupt, so only entering the hotel with Chen Kai and them was a way to hide that he had left.
"Boss! Give us a few rooms, and we want some fresh food right in... Let's eat in the hall! Chen Kai looked around, and he found that although the whole inn was very lively, it was very clean and tidy, and it was obvious that the innkeeper was very concerned about maintaining the dining environment. Compared to the scattered taverns, this inn is a little better, although there are some mercenaries or adventurers sitting on the tables around it, but there is no vulgar feeling. Everyone was chatting quietly, quietly drinking a blue liquor, and quietly tasting a piece of food that looked delicious.
After Chen Kai and the others sat down, the innkeeper began to direct the maids to serve the food, and many dishes were prepared in the kitchen in advance. For example, if the first half of the roast pig is served, if it is left on the usual innkeeper, he will never serve half a roast pig directly, he will only ask the cook to cut off part of the serving. But three of Chen Kai's several of them were too abrupt, and both Chen Kai and Gris looked like they could eat, so the innkeeper was not worried that Chen Kai would not be able to finish eating. Of course, in addition to half a roast pig that is considered a half-cold meal, there is also a large pot of fragrant broth, and several baked bread with honey.
"That boss! Can you get three more servings like this, I have two pets who haven't eaten yet! When the boss put all the dishes and was about to leave, Chen Kai stopped the other party, and he remembered that there was a flying dragon in his pet space that had eaten cold rice for a month. There is also one in Su Wan's pet space, and Chen Kai doesn't know if the same three parts can fill the two flying dragons that have grown to more than two meters and four.
"Okay! No problem! Although the innkeeper was a little surprised by Chen Kai's request, he knew very well that some adventurers' domesticated pets sometimes did eat better than people. This is not because of pampering each other, but to ensure their combat effectiveness. Hungry monsters don't have the strength to fight for a long time, and at the same time, hungry monsters are easy to eat their masters.
It's just that when the innkeeper smiled and brought the food up, when he saw Chen Kai release the so-called pet, he was directly stunned, and he didn't even know that the plate in his hand fell to the ground. The mercenaries and adventurers who were eating around them were also stunned, and everyone looked at the two creatures on the ground holding the pig's leg and gnawing with their mouths wide open. If their eyes are not blind, if their memories are not wrong, then the two so-called pets on the ground should be dragons, and they are also two young dragons in their formative years. It's just that they can't tell if the other is a flying dragon or a giant dragon, because the horns of the two little ones are too unique. If it is a wyvern, then it should be a spiny horn, that is, the number of horns that grow on the door of the head like a spike is not accurate, some are one, and some even have seven or eight. But if it's a dragon, then there is only a pair of horns, and there are forked horns. However, although the two little ones only have a pair of dragon-like horns, the horns are not forked but thorn-like like spines, so sometimes it is really difficult to tell if they are dragons or wyverns.
However, whether the two little ones are dragons or dragons, they are extremely high-end creatures, and having such pets is generally called dragon knights. Of course, the current Chen Kai and Su Wan have no way to qualify as dragon knights, they can only be regarded as apprentices or reserves at most. Comparatively, Su Wan's dragon lance knight is more qualified than Chen Kai for apprenticeship dragon knights, after all, dragon knights use dragon lances a lot of the time.
It took a full two minutes for the entire inn to slowly return to its original state, of course, if you really want to say that every customer who eats in the inn has something wrong in their eyes, because their eyes have glanced at Chen Kai and them several times, or the two little guys with their tails flicking at their feet. It's just that they only dare to glance at it a few times, because they know that Chen Kai and them have a powerhouse with a rank of more than the ninth order. Gris still unable to control his own strength, or he was not fully familiar with his strength after being promoted to the ninth rank not long ago. The pressure released from his body from time to time made the entire inn fall into a wave of sluggishness and fear from time to time. Of course, he will pay attention to this a lot of the time, in fact, the coercion felt by the diners in the inn is much lighter now, at least much less than when Chen Kai felt when Gris had just been promoted.
Chen Kai and they ate this meal for half an hour, and half an hour later, they slowly walked into their room under the entangled gaze of the innkeeper. Because of the coercion that Griss exuded from time to time, and the growing dragon power of the two little guys, the innkeeper was entangled for a long time, and many ordinary diners could only stop at the door of the store because they couldn't stand the coercion of the two. As a result, the poor boss could only watch a transaction miss in a tangled gaze, of course, he didn't dare to say anything, after all, Chen Kai gave a lot of gold coins. Especially the two flying dragons who let go of their stomachs to eat, and finally ate four roasted whole pigs, and ate until their stomachs were completely turned upside down and they couldn't move before they stopped their mouths. In fact, in the end, Chen Kai and Su Wan dragged the tails of the two little guys and dragged the flying dragon weighing more than 100 kilograms back to the room.
"That's it! Fourth! What's going on outside town? When Chen Kai and the others returned to the room, they didn't freshen up or rest, but gathered together to listen to the news that Fei Yun overheard. Because they all know that this news may be of great help to their lives in Paranon, at least for a few days.
"Boss! We guess we're qualified as a plague, but not long after we arrived, Paranon's village outside was attacked, and the attack on the village was none other than Ancro's dead creatures! Fei Yun's words stunned everyone, because they had no idea that Anklo's dead creatures would reach the Rohan Empire so quickly, and almost enter Paranon with their front and back feet. At this time, Chen Kai and the others were afraid for a while, if they walked slowly, maybe they would be caught up by these dead creatures in the forest. Because compared to the creatures who needed to eat, drink, and sleep, those dead creatures who did not need to eat, sleep, or rest at all may have entered the forest even later, but they caught up behind. If they hadn't come out of the forest, they probably wouldn't have been able to get out of it now.
"How many dead creatures are there?" Xu Fei raised his head and asked this question slowly, in fact, he was more concerned with whether Palanon had a spell supply store now. If he had, he would be able to make a spell scroll overnight, at least he would have more time to save his life when the dead creatures attacked.
"I don't know! But there will be no less of them, at least for now, and it seems that there is no way to leave Paranon through the usual way! Fei Yun didn't overhear much, in fact, even if he didn't eavesdrop on the entire population of Paranon, he would soon know the news of the arrival of the dead creatures.
"It seems that we are really unlucky, and we are also very lucky! If we had been a little late, we might not have made it to Paranon! Well, let's get some rest early, and if there's anything you need to buy, go out and buy it right away, I guess it's not long before the whole town has a curfew! After Chen Kai finished speaking slowly, he walked out of the door alone, and when he passed the hotel counter, he said hello to the innkeeper, asked the location of the mayor's mansion, and walked out. After Chen Kai left, the others either went back to their rooms to rest, or ran out of the hotel following Chen Kai's footsteps. In fact, Chen Kai was not wrong at all, and less than an hour after they left the hotel, the whole town went into a state of curfew, along with nearly 10,000 farmers living in the countryside outside the town of Paranon.
In fact, Chen Kai did not find the mayor of Ferrosara in the mayor's mansion in the end, and the only person he saw was a clerk named Lu Han. What makes Chen Kai sluggish is that this clerk is still a player, a Chinese player in the Rohan Empire. In fact, most of the players in the Rohan Empire are players in Mongolia and East Russia, and there are many Chinese players in this area, and of course, there are more Mongolian players and Russian players.
It's just that although they are both players, Chen Kai doesn't get much information from the other party's mouth, and the only thing he knows is that the number of players in Paranon is not large. Not only are there not many of them, but most of the players in Paranon are the second batch of players to enter the game, and their strength is quite poor. Although Lu Han is a Chinese player, and he is not bad in Paranon, his strength is only fourth-order. This is already in the case of the second group of players in the system, and of course, Ruhan's luck is also good, and after entering the game, he was favored by Mayor Ferrosara to become a clerk in the Mayor's Mansion of Paranon.
Although his combat experience is not high, his level has been continuously improved under the various tasks assigned by the mayor. In fact, Lu Han is a swordsman, but he holds a pen longer than a sword. Of course, for Lu Han, there is not much problem not being able to fight, because he himself is not interested in fighting. It's just that now Lu Han can't be calm, because he got a piece of news that is very bad for him, and this news is also the only valuable news that Chen Kai got from the other party's mouth. That is, Mayor Ferosara may have to issue a mobilization order to mobilize all the men and adventurer mercenaries in the town who can afford to be armed to join the battle against the approaching army of the undead. Chen Kai and the others unfortunately belonged to one of the mobilization orders, although Chen Kai did not have much doubt about joining the battle against the undead, but he was worried that he would be divided under an unfamiliar commander, if that commander was an idiot, then it would be a disaster for Chen Kai.
By the time Chen Kai returned to the hotel, the curfew for Paranon had already begun, and the others had already bought enough to return to the hotel. In fact, they were a little slower, and if they hadn't had enough gold on hand, it would have been almost impossible to buy enough healing potions and spellcasting materials at the usual price.
"These profiteers are so ruthless! The price has doubled, TNND's is too dark! Fei Yun took out the whetstone, bandages and other auxiliary items in his backpack and distributed them proportionally to the others, and then muttered in his mouth.
"You're only doubled! Do you know how many times things are in the Spell Shop? Exactly three times! I almost didn't swing my staff and blew the old man to death! Xu Fei also had a breath of anger in his heart, he had never seen such a greedy old man. Although he is also a mage, the other party's greed for money makes him feel very disgusting, and he can't wait to wave his staff and use spells to blast the other party into minced meat.
"You should be glad you still got the stuff, I guess it's going to be more expensive tomorrow! Well, bad news~! Maybe tomorrow the old mayor will issue a conscription order, and we will definitely be recruited to defend the city! After Chen Kai told the others, the group didn't have much shock, of course, Griss didn't know what the conscription order was at all, he would just look around blankly and slowly put away his share of medicine and auxiliary supplies......
