Chapter 14: The City of Konora

Konora City is located in the border area of the Camos Kingdom, but its west is surrounded by mountains, and the east is the small Egmar Wasteland (that is, the wasteland through which the punks pass), and there are canals flowing through, and the transportation and freight are very convenient, it can be said that its geographical location is to attack and retreat, so it is an out-and-out strategic location, although the location of the Camos Kingdom is barren and there has been no war for many years, but in recent years, the relationship with the Kingdom of Dylan has been tense, and the south of Konora is the junction with the Kingdom of Dylan, so the City of Konora has many more garrisons。

Punk and Kane walk together to the city gate, which is topped by a large crimson banner decorated with a rather abstract griffon, which flutters in the wind and looks imposing. The 20-meter-high city wall is made of large blocks of granite, and there are many deep scratches left on it caused by the attack of sharp weapons.

At the gates, there were a number of people and merchants who came in and out of the city in a queue waiting for the soldiers to check them, and the soldiers were very rude, and they unabashedly demanded bribes from those who entered the city, and one old man in shabby clothes was pushed to the ground because the bribes he "paid" did not satisfy the guards, and the guards also kicked the old man in the leg with a curse.

And next to the main gate of the city wall, there is a smaller side door, which seems to be for the nobles and professionals to enter and exit alone, compared to the noisy and noisy gate, the side door is much cleaner, the ordinary poor people are far away from there, only an old man dressed as a warrior sits on a wooden chair, it seems to be the gatekeeper of the side door, punk roughly perceived, and found that the old man who was drinking a small sip is an apprentice-level warrior of about one level. Judging from age, it belongs to the type that has no hope of promotion.

"Lao Tzu doesn't want to queue up here for half a day, now I want to hurry into the city to find a big place~ Have a meal, hurry up and go in from there, that old man must not have the courage to stop him." Kane stretched, pointing to the side door.

Punk actually had this idea in mind, so he walked towards the side door with his staff in hand.

The old janitor saw a man dressed as a mage and a man dressed as a knight approaching, and hurriedly stood up and took out a piece of parchment from his bosom. He threw up his head and took another sip of wine, and stood in the middle of the gate.

Seeing this scene, Punk's face was gloomy, and he looked at the old man's posture as if he wanted to order a "benefit fee", but Punk now only has five gold coins on his body, although for ordinary people's families, one gold coin is already half a year's expenses, but for punk who wants to learn knowledge as soon as possible, it can be said that it is extremely rare, and he is not like inexplicably wasting on the "benefit fee".

"If that old man asks Lao Tzu for money, Lao Tzu will stab him and then shoot him and run away!" Kane next to him had an indignant expression, the money on his body was so small that it was almost gone, and a week's long journey had turned this impatient guy into an active volcano, and now he saw the destination but was stopped by the greedy doorman, so anyone would have the urge to beat people.

Punk didn't think he would be troubled, after all, he and Kane were both level 4 professionals (the early upgrade was still very fast), and it was very unwise to offend two level 4 professionals for a little money. An old churro warrior should understand this.

Sure enough, the old man didn't reach out and ask for money like the soldiers at the gate, he just asked Punk and Kane to register their profession and rank, and he didn't even ask for their names, and when he saw that Punk and Kane, who were about fifteen years old, were actually fourth-level professionals, the old man was shocked and dropped the parchment on the ground.

Seeing the old man's expression of "disbelief", Kane triumphantly released the majesty of his apprentice-level peak and strode into the city gate, and deliberately made the armor on his body rattle, completely ignoring the punk disdainful eyes.

Inside the city, a medieval view of the city unfolds before the eyes of the punk.

As a "military city", in order to facilitate the deployment of troops, Konora is a road paved with gravel, and in the tender season when the air is humid, the stone road grows a little moss, which adds a lot of green to the city of Konora. Directly opposite the city gate is a market, many shops are written in large letters with the name of the shop, usually the name of the owner plus the items sold, such as the Xibako coat shop, Guge fresh butcher shop, etc., many merchants who have not rented a shop also set up stalls on the roadside to sell their goods to everyone who passes by, although the various shops are chaotic, but it gives people a sense of prosperity.

"I said dude, what's next", Kane patted Punk on the shoulder with his hand, looking like an "iron buddy" had nothing to say, but Punk dodged with a wrong step, "What are your plans?" Punk didn't answer, he asked Kane back.

"I~, Lao Tzu is going to the Adventurers' Guild to start my super~level great Kane Knight's adventurous ~ career", after speaking, he turned around and walked towards the lively food vendor, "But now~ Lao Tzu has to have a big meal first, treat yourself~".

"Well, goodbye," Punk said, turning and walking down a deserted street.

"Bye-bye~~" Kane waved his hand casually without looking back, and began to bargain happily with the vendor owner.

———————— Dividing Line————————

Punk is actually very happy about parting ways with Kane, because Kane, although he seems to be out of tune on the surface, seems to be very aggressive and "sunny" , but in fact he is a smart and cold-blooded person, punk is still very accurate in looking at people, especially Kane, a person who is very similar to himself in his bones, and this kind of person Although you don't have to worry about this teammate being stupid, cooperation is absolutely guaranteed in terms of efficiency, but in the process of cooperation, you have to guard against each other, otherwise, as long as there are enough interests, the last second is still two good brothers who live and die together, and the next second they absolutely pull out a knife and stab each other's hearts, so punk is more willing to cooperate with people in the good camp, after all, as long as you are hypocritical, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by your teammates。 At the critical moment, those "righteous knights" will also come to "sacrifice their lives for righteousness" or something, which can be said to be the best quality meat shield.

Punk is now walking straight to a very iconic building, the convention with a high spire, the building material is real "blue bricks and blue tiles", that house is one of the countless chapters of the Mage Guild, the flag on the roof is printed with a nine-petaled purple red flower, which is the symbol of the Mage Guild - the Flower of Vimes, although I don't know why the Mage Guild wants to make this branch all green, but the conspicuous and flamboyant magic fluctuations still make Punk determine a few miles away- This is the Mage's Guild.
