Chapter 23: Indarro
On the sea, two small boats slowly moved towards the harbor city of Indaro, a little farther away, from time to time you can see merchant ships and pirate ships going to Indaro to replenish or resell goods, and even there are many adventurers like them who go back and forth between islands with a small boat, fortunately, this is already Indaro's sphere of influence, under the supervision of the spells of that group of high-level blood elves, no group of pirates who are not eye-opening dare to do 'business' in the nearby waters.
As the cuttlefish rowed, he glanced at the island in front of him and frowned slightly: "Shall we dress up in disguise and then enter the city?" ”
Sometimes it is a trouble and a disaster to be too good-looking, and when you are really cornered, those greedy and cunning slave traders and pirates will not let them go just because they look like nobles, unless the two of them are strong enough to override the chaotic rules of the Witcher Islands, and judging by some of the information revealed by Guò talking to Jon these days, Sophie and Scarlet know that their strength is about equivalent to the fourth order of the Vaunze world, which is already extremely outstanding among the younger generation, But it's still not out of the human level.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, and when it is time to run, they will run, and the two of them think so.
Just like the short encounter just now, it seemed that the enemy was simply solved, but in fact, it was by surprise and the terrifying lethality of the 'Flame Star' that he took the lead in killing the four most threatening crossbow archers, and then consumed Alger's only defensive spell, otherwise it is really impossible to say who will win and who will lose in the end.
In retrospect, it was quite thrilling, and if there was a little accident, Sophie and Scarlet had to run away with Mavis with her.
"No, Jon dares to bring a helpless little girl to Indarro, which means that Indarro's security should not be as bad as we think, Jon wants to use us, and we both need to use him to settle down in the Witcher Islands, let's take what we need." Sophie shook her head, after a few days of getting along, didn't Jon really show that the two of them had secrets, I'm afraid not, just like he and the scarlet fish had long seen that the identity of Jon and his party was not simple, but these words could never be said clearly, and they were all in plain sight.
The redfish was thoughtful, no wonder Jon didn't ask when he had just witnessed Sophie using the Flame Star and Slashing the Wind with his own eyes.
This is a large island of more than 200,000 square kilometers, in order to accept a large number of ships, the blood elves built a large harbor in the southwest of the island, built a smooth and wide road to the city, the island large trees and jungles were uprooted by magic, transformed into fertile farmland, and domesticated a large number of domestic animals, from which the supply of merchants, pirates, and adventurers came.
There are not only harbors for large ships, but also harbors for small boats.
Two small boats sailed into the small harbor, and immediately a well-equipped guard stepped forward.
The burly guard looked at the group of people who disembarked from the ship, and immediately realized that the five Jon were not those casual and undisciplined adventurers, skipped Mayvis who was wearing a black robe to cover her face, and then moved her eyes to Sophie and Scarlet, first amazed by the appearance of the two, and quickly classified the identity of this young man and woman into the great nobles who came out to experience or do things. Don't be kidding, with that outstanding demeanor, can those poor ghosts who worry about their livelihood all day long pretend!
The burly guard has a lot of experience, and knows that a person's temperament and demeanor are the most difficult to cultivate.
But I don't know that Sophie and Cuttlefish are modern people, and the education they have received since childhood is much stronger than that of most nobles in this world, although they have not received professional aristocratic etiquette training, they naturally have a very special temperament, full of confidence in their words and deeds, coupled with the strong aura and extremely delicate and beautiful appearance formed by the two of them through perennial practice, it is no wonder that along the way, these vicious and experienced guys have looked away.
Thinking like this, the burly guard was much more polite to Sophie and the Scarlet Fish, but it was not flattering: "It's the first time you two have come to Indarro, we don't have many rules in Indarro, only one thing I hope you will pay attention to, that is, don't make trouble in the city, each boat mooring needs to pay ten silver coins, the period is one month, and valuables please don't put on the boat." ”
Usually the guards treat those adventurers with a cold six-character mantra 'pay the fee, ten silver coins', how could they be so enthusiastic, and then asked his subordinates behind him to hand over two pieces of iron engraved with numbers to Jon, and recorded the numbers in a book similar to accounts, in the eyes of the guards, this calm middle-aged man is probably the head of the guard of Sophie and the redfish.
Needless to say, Jon acted very seriously, like a loyal subordinate, and immediately took out a gold coin and threw it to the guards, and the excess was a tip for the guards, showing a bit of aristocratic bearing.
"When you leave, you can only return the iron piece to us and you will be able to pick up the ship, rest assured, I will tell them to keep an eye on your ship in the meantime." The burly guard squinted at the gold coin, and the smile on his face became more attentive, this is enough for himself and a group of subordinates to drink several meals, this pair of noble brothers and sisters are really generous, speaking of which they haven't been to Mary's for a long time, I must find that girl to have a good time tonight.
Sophie nodded coldly and crimson arrogantly, and led Jon and the group towards the distant city gate.
The crossbow and the kind of military equipment are too conspicuous on the body, I am afraid that the guards will not let themselves into Indarro, so they simply put it on the ship and cover it with an oilcloth, and the captured sailor's scimitar was also thrown into the sea before entering the port, leaving only two, compared to the few swordsmanship he just learned, he is better at the way of assassination, the dagger hidden in the cuff is enough to solve most problems, the cuttlefish is a master of boxing, and the cold weapon is like a cloud to her.
Climb the stairs and step onto the harbor.
Sailors shouting to pick up valuable goods and sail for Indarro, or loading boxes of supplies and fresh water onto merchant ships ready to leave, the unbridled laughter of pirates is clearly audible, and down-and-out adventurers are grouped in formation, forming a wonderful and harmonious picture under Indarro's neutral rules.
Twenty-two years ago, more than a dozen pirate forces secretly united to capture the prosperous harbor city of Indarro, but unfortunately in the end, they didn't even touch the port, and it was destroyed by the storm and thunder under the anger of the six fifth-order blood elf wizards, and then the blood elves slaughtered the large and small pirate forces in the nearby seas, before they completely subdued these rebellious guys.
Only black-hearted businessmen who are as big and hard as their fists and do business at sea dare to enter the port to replenish supplies and sell goods, bringing a lot of money to Indarro.
The appearance of Sophie and the scarlet fish immediately caused a lot of commotion, like two fires in the night, attracting the attention of countless people, and there was no lack of greedy and obscene eyes.
"I want to kick their balls!" The black red fish was keenly aware of the malicious gaze around him, and raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
Even though she was used to the occasional amazing words from the cuttlefish, Sophie couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes, Miss, you are reserved! However, the eyes of those people as if they were looking at goods or prey did make people feel murderous.
Along the smooth road to the city gate, glanced at it from a distance, Sophie estimated in her heart, the city wall actually passed fourteen meters, and there were guards with bows patrolling from time to time, because there were only one in and one out of two gates, the team lined up in a long line, fortunately, the work efficiency of the city gate guards was not slow, and when they got closer, they showed how strict Indaro's inspection of entering the city was, it was really meticulous that even a fly was not spared, and anyone who wore a black robe like Mavis had to put down his hood to confirm his appearance, You can bring in the weapons you carry with you.
During this period, two crossbows were found in a merchant's goods, but they were confiscated.
When it was Sophie and Scarlet's turn, the guards at the city gate were stunned, their eyes flashed with amazement, there was no rude behavior, and the inspection process was much simpler than those who went in before, just let Mavis put down her hood and take a look, and then handed over eight silver coins and let them go, and the people waiting in line behind saw this scene and were not dissatisfied, knowing that this was the privilege of the nobles, at most they only complained in their hearts.

"Comments: Well done, not only did Miss Mavis and her men get to Indaro intact, but also wiped out all the pursuers, please keep up the good work of the two chosen ones;"
The moment Sophie stepped into Indaro, there was a dinging sound in her ears, and rows of silver numbers jù appeared in the center of the retina, and before Sophie could react, a row of new numbers jù popped up, just a cursory glance at the S-level difficulty evaluation and felt that his eyes were dark, but fortunately, the last choice prompt relieved him.

Sophie and the black red fish decisively clicked 'no', watching the handwriting slowly disappear, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they could refuse this time, unlike the last task, they didn't give you a chance to choose, otherwise the two of them really planned to turn around and jump into the sea.
What's the difference between this and a warrior who has just left the novice village and is asked to slay a dragon immediately?
