Chapter 113: Job Search (I)
On the morning of July 8, 1715. Buscotto
Bulust is the largest commercial city in Luceshire
Fang Xin looked around slowly, he was now wearing a new linen shirt, his body was straight, heroic, and he had a long sword at his waist.
But the urban pattern is actually similar.
On the eastern coast, there is a huge dock area, an excellent natural deep harbour, in which all kinds of ships come and go and moored as far as the eye can see, and a large number of workers are busy on the docks, and the docks, and therefore the homes of workers and warehouses, and the slums of the whole city standard
In the past few days, I learned that the so-called continent is not a piece at all, but similar to a few leaves, but they are very close to each other, relying on the ocean to communicate, Fang Xin believes that these pieces are a combination of the same civilization, to a specific extent, although the God of Light occupies a relatively large share, but it is not that there is no space for other gods, at least for now
The northern district, on the other hand, was mainly home to the wealthy middle class, minor nobles (knights and knights), officials, and well-run merchants, and if they were wealthy, but not nobles, magicians, or officials, then it was an ideal place to live, and Fang Xin wanted to make his home here, but given the current situation, he gave up.
The center of the city, the city administrative district, is concentrated in the city in the magician union, the temple of light, the city hall, the library, the hot bath, the theater, the gladiatorial arena, the large square, this is the richest area in the whole city, it is the seat of the nobleman's family, and it is not something that Fang Xin can interfere with now.
The southern district is the business district, which is the commercial essence of the city, and it is never closed except for festivals. At night, candles, lanterns, and oil lamps illuminate the streets and shops of the district, where the city's main guilds have their headquarters, not far from the trades they serve or own.
The west is a civilian area, and it is also the most suitable area for outsiders, Fang Xin bought a new small building here, two floors, plus a basement, the asking price is only 3500 silver Lake, plus supplementary food and furniture, Fang Xin now has 1000 silver lake at his disposal.
The fresh and clean water in the city comes from several sources, the first is the river, and the second is the wells, which are related to the clean water of the city, and are cared for by the members of the guard at all times. Those who deliberately poison or attempt to monopolize or fill wells shall be killed on the spot in accordance with the law.
Again, the "overflows" taken from the roofs and cellar cisterns of most of the city's buildings – not-so-clean water used for bathing and scrubbing animals, buildings, objects, and watering plants – the city's sewers are quite well made
What Fang Xin was most interested in was the parliamentary system, which came from the interaction and restraint of kings, lords, churches, and trade unions
The city is a concentration of wealth, and the king, the lords, the emerging merchant class, and the church all want to intervene, and Fang Xin doesn't know how to do it, but it is obvious that the information of the three-three-three-one system has given Fang Xin a great inspiration.
The so-called three-three-three-one, in fact, is the distribution of interests, the king sent people to be the lords of the city, and the various departments were controlled by the lords, and in the end, the merchants' federation controlled the grassroots, and one-tenth of the interests belonged to the church, in exchange for the non-interference of the church, of course, there must have been a fierce struggle inside
After walking around the city and learning a lot of things in general, Fang Xin returned to his home, which was a small building, which was already quite good in the civilian area.
Below is the living room, kitchen, guest room, above the west is the study, in the middle is the bedroom, the east is currently vacant, as a reserve room, the heavy armor, just put there.
went up to the second floor to the study, Fang Xin walked in, it was extremely neat inside, the newly built floor-to-ceiling bookshelves were very neat, but there were only two books inside, and as for the table, there were still a few stacks of documents - there was no way, books were too precious in this world.
Fang Xin walked to the table and sat down, took out a badge with a leaf on it, and closed his eyes in contemplation.
This time on this continent, not only did Fang believe in his own self, Archbishop Barnier was born in the dark vein, and he was well versed in religious studies, and of course knew the cruelty of religious wars.
So this time, of course, it wasn't Fang Xin who came alone, Archbishop Barnier selected the most loyal people and began to sneak into the mainland - to investigate, and then accumulate strength
To go to war, you must first understand, and then you must know the stronghold.
Archbishop Barnier was well-planned and far-sighted, so he naturally refused to use any heretical powers, using the most traditional magical powers - even if the magical power was exposed, it didn't matter, it was better than exposing the power of the goddess.
Therefore, this coat of arms is an imitation of the coat of arms of the nobles, and the method of contact—to obtain information about the same clan within fifty miles around—if any.
Fang Xin carefully felt the fluctuations in the magic power on the badge, hoping to sense the information from it, but after a while, he gave up.
Turning around, he studied the documents on the table, which were obtained by the Adventurer's Guild (I think the Adventurer's Guild is better than the Warrior's Guild), and as a sixth-level warrior, he could naturally start to get in touch with some of the guild's documents.
The so-called silver medal is not wrong to record the qualifications of soldiers above level six, but it is also a kind of supervision - as a warrior, it is definitely not normal to be blank for a long time, Fang Xin will not forget this, so he will take a look at the task.
In fact, there are basically no tasks to be completed by a single person, most of them are organized, squad-based tasks, Fang Xin, as a sixth-level warrior, if he pays 500 silver lake at one time, he can register for an adventure team, and the number of people is less than thirty, and the union will help to go to the city hall to go through the formalities and make it a legal team.
Among them, what aroused Fang Xin's interest the most was the information of the mercenary group - unlike Zhong, of course, as an armed mercenary group, it is a combat group with at least one squad (thirty people) in size and can be expanded, such an organization, of course, will threaten the lord, so it is strictly controlled.
However, because mercenaries are cheap and do not need to be supported for a long time, coupled with the continuous skirmishes between lords and countries, there is a large market for mercenaries, so there is an organization called mercenary groups.
The mercenary group, inseparable from the approval of the local lords, has also been heavily suppressed, and on the mainland, basically, the scale has never exceeded a thousand people - if it is exceeded, it will threaten the order of a kingdom.
However, mercenary groups, lords and kings who have achieved outstanding results sometimes have the heart to take care of themselves, and are named knights, and the leader may even be named a nobleman - this kind of thing is also the highest pursuit of adventurers.
Fang Xin's eyes were gloomy, in Archbishop Barnier's plan, this mercenary must be an important part.
Archbishop Barnier, who comes from the darkness, naturally has an instinct for the dark world of this world, and can quickly find and establish contact, so let's wait for news honestly!
Thinking of this, Fang Xin picked up a document - a very simple task to protect a nobleman from the Duchy of Mandabe - Wendila. Fix's hereditary knights, safe in the county.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you will have it, but if you are interested, you can go to No. 15 Feilan Road, Northern District, before this evening, to meet with Sir, and Sir will confirm according to the situation.
Fang Xin took a hot bath by himself, put on new linen clothes, and remembered that there was a barber shop nearby, so he went there to shave and cut his hair.
Out of one-fifth of the silver and silver Lake, Fang Xin changed his image according to the most fashionable hairstyle of this era.
The barber also took out a small piece of mirror and handed it to him very carefully, Fang Xin was a little surprised by the glass and mirror manufacturing process of this era, so he took a look - it was not very handsome, but it had a resolute silhouette and a faint literary quality.
Fang Xin looked at himself in the mirror and smiled, neat and elegant, with a long sword, his image was still quite good, he paid the money at the moment, ate some snacks in a nearby shop, and headed towards No. 15 Feilan Road, Northern District.
Soon, Fang Xin had already found the location, and along the way, he also saw the personal guard of the supreme lord of the county, that is, the Earl of Habida, patrolling the northern district.
After more than a quarter of an hour, Fang Xin found this villa.
In the North End, it's also quite a luxurious villa, surrounded by a high iron railing – and that's a lot of value.
The iron railing climbed with dense turquoise vines, and the gate was a typical aristocratic door, the door was very cumbersome, and it was obvious that it had been some time, but the family crest inlaid on it was new - Fang Xin couldn't help but glance at it, it was the mark of a mermaid.
The garden was planted with lush trees, which covered most of the villa, and it was impossible to see clearly from the outside, but at this time, the door was already open, and a waiter in a ceremonial dress was waiting, and when he saw Fang Xin coming forward, he said, "Sir, this is Wendila. The residence of the hereditary knight Fix. ”
"I'm Hamblin, a sixth-level warrior of the Warrior Guild, and I'm looking for a job." Fang Xin said, handing over a silver Rak, although a silver Rak is nothing, but it is also a heart, the man quietly accepted it, and said: "Oh, then please come in, the lord has already eaten Chinese food, and he is about to meet it!" ”
When he entered the door, he found that there were three roads, one of course was the main road, which allowed the carriage to pass directly, and there were two side paths, so Fang Xin stepped forward and found that the road was paved with cobblestones.
After passing through the jungle and entering the villa, Fang Xin couldn't help but light up, in front of the villa was a mermaid's fountain, shining brilliantly in the sun, and when he passed, Fang Xin's heart moved.
In the past, the power developed by Yu Ruyi had the power of water, and now, he also felt the power of water on it, and the power of the same nature, Fang Xin couldn't help but feel very comfortable.
