Watching the old woman leave with the bread he had ordered his men to buy, Alan stopped and fell into thought, how abnormal it was to suddenly meet such a beggar in the middle of the night.

It's not that Alan is too sensitive, it's really the wrong time now, the bay is close to the coast, and the cold wind on this big night is swishing and cool, except for something, a fool only goes out.

There will also be no problem of no place to live, and there are many abandoned houses on the edge of Bay City, and just find a ruin to shelter from the wind and rain.

I'm so hungry that I have to come out and beg or I can't stand it? It's possible, but the old man just now spoke in a voice that was full of energy, except that he looked old and had difficulty moving......

"Strange things happen every day, especially today. Shaking his head, Alan felt that it was useless for him to speculate here, so he stopped paying attention to such things.

If he is really too sensitive, then naturally there is nothing wrong, but if there is indeed an abnormality, then it is futile to ponder now, because he doesn't know anything, and he can't figure out anything when he ponders.

"The soldiers will block, and the water will come and the soil will cover it. ”

“......”

Go back to Pochi Castle, practice, sleep, and then get up the next day to deal with things in the bay, and constantly do handovers with Uncle Fisher, experimenting and studying spells, dealing with things, sleeping, getting up early, and doing handovers.....

After a week's time, the bay was largely calm. Except that Eren constantly encounters inexplicable things.

A grotesque begging old woman, a disabled thief, a treacherous businessman, an honest complainant, and even a beautiful woman who secretly sends autumn waves.....

Every day Alan goes out or doesn't go out, he can encounter all kinds of strange things happening, one or two things are okay, he doesn't feel like it is still very fresh, and he is a little impatient when he goes out more times.

He was a little suspicious that these things were arranged by the mage elder of the water tower, because the first strange thing was the water man spell, Raphael said that no one else could do this kind of spell except the mage elder, and other strange things only appeared one after another.

However, this suspicion is unfounded, and I don't know if it's right or not.

And although these things seem strange, they are not unexpected, except for him, a sensitive person, basically no one suspects that Allen's encounter is a man-made event, and only thinks that these things just happen to be gathered at the same time period.

So Alan couldn't get angry, he couldn't find any basis for suspicion, how could he get angry, and with whom?

Those "troubles"?

To be honest, Alan wasn't quite sure if those troubles were deliberately arranged or if they were really just that, everyone, everything was very realistic, and Alan didn't even find any flaws under his covert investigation.

So in the face of these messy things, he can only endure helplessly.

So in this case, the election of the king of mercenaries in Bay City came as scheduled.

The original purpose of this election was to keep the mercenaries in the bay and prevent them from returning to their original cities, and then promote the mercenary union that he and Bauer were going to found, but now that Bauer had an accident, this mercenary union could only be done by himself, although it was inevitable that he was in a hurry, but he had been thinking about this matter during this time, and he already had some eyebrows.

What can keep a mercenary here? money, no doubt!

Therefore, the most fundamental role of the mercenary union is to make the mercenaries make money, and other than this, nothing else is useless.

But is there anything in the Bay that needs to be hired to do now?

No!

The repair of the territory has always been done by the militia and ordinary residents, and there are patrols and defenses that do not need mercenaries to mix with the security issues, and the passing caravans go to sea and enter the city with their own lords to guard and control and stevedores to help, and those caravans are not short of defense forces, as early as their first lair, they will hire mercenaries or simply cultivate their own armed forces, and they will basically not choose to find mercenaries in the bay.

And to be honest, there are not many caravans that choose to settle in the bay, the port in the bay is too small to accommodate many merchant ships, and most caravans will choose Reef City.

What else?

Basically, there was no more, and Alan thought about it, but he couldn't find much that could attract mercenaries.

But no doesn't mean it can't, he has always felt that if there is no "opportunity", then create opportunities, and the original conditions can't attract "women", so they can only work hard to "struggle", or package themselves.

"Hard work" is not something that can be achieved in a while, and all he can do is package bay.

As a result, some aspects of Bay City gradually changed.

First of all, the caravans passing by, because they will bring a lot of taxes to the bay, so this kind of merchants basically have no special restrictions in the bay, and even because of taxes, they will try to help when they encounter some problems, but now, they have been told that every caravan that chooses to go to sea from the bay must hire mercenaries from bay city, at least one team!

This kind of demand is very inexplicable, and the merchants are a little confused, but they do not express any objections, they give up the reef city instead of choosing the bay, not to "do good" for free, but the bay has conditions that attract them.

The management is relaxed, basically there is no restriction on the type and quantity of goods, the human resources are cheap, the people are simple, and the employment is very comfortable.

The tax collected is much less, and this is the most important thing, and the merchants do not like to pay taxes, let alone pay more taxes, and in their opinion, the less taxes the better, unless there are special circumstances.

So compared to these conveniences, this extra requirement in Bay City is nothing, but it doesn't count, there is an inexplicable extra restriction on the head that no one is happy about, and basically the caravans that have been notified have protested (most of them have "offices" in the Bay).

However, Alan was largely indifferent to such protests. He also did not feel that he would hurt the fundamental interests of the businessman by doing so, and the loss of some corners and corners was insignificant.

He doesn't even have to care about hurting the face of the businessmen, or the same sentence, businessmen talk about interests, and it is useless to talk to them about other things, so naturally there is no need to give them face.

So in this case, among the mercenary unions to be established in Bay City in the future, there is an additional long-term reward - mercenaries who go to sea to protect the caravan.

Allen's fishman bounty was also written in the plan, because it was usually difficult to hunt fishmen, and he even increased the bounty to the point where it basically allowed mercenaries to ignore those difficulties and enter the deep sea.

There are also the materials he and Oliver need to jointly make the Wind Element Staff, this Alan is only responsible for collecting money and not the rest, so he can't be the master, Oliver is not in the bay at the moment, but someone is still responsible for the acquisition of materials, and under the negotiation sent by Allen, the alchemy apprentice agreed without any objection.

As a result, the mercenary association that will be held in the future has a second long-term task - to reward alchemy materials and buy a large number of wind wolves and fish people.

And then there's a third one – opening Bay City's Bounty Hunter Market!

The bounty hunters in Bay City can be regarded as a must in the Bay, as long as they see a crime happening and report it, they can get money, and if they can solve the crime alone, they can even get a lot of money (relatively speaking), this kind of thing is not very difficult, so since the appearance of bounty hunters, Bay City has quickly become rich with a group of people, and the security problem in the Bay has been much better.

However, in the past, bounty hunters were required to be locals, and outsiders couldn't do this kind of work even if they were hot, but now Alan plans to open it up - everyone can sign up.

In addition, he is preparing to enact another unexpected initiative - the pursuit of criminals who have absconded in the past.

This kind of thing is basically thankless, there are countless criminals who have absconded, and you don't know where to find them, the reward is difficult, the bounty is naturally much more, and it is useless to chase it back, and many bitter masters themselves are estimated to have given up hope.

However, Allen still added this article to the constitution of the mercenary union, increasing the amount of tasks is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also preparing to increase the cost of crime in the bay and stop the crime from happening at the root.

Although this reward is difficult, as long as it is made public, it is difficult for someone to avoid considering the possibility of being chased out of the city if someone wants to do something bad, and the concerns are naturally much heavier than before.

As for the bounty itself, the bounty amount is large, and the amount is estimated to be no less, which must be very attractive to mercenaries who travel from south to north.

Coupled with the fact that Alan is going to clean up the other magical beasts around the bay, as well as all kinds of trivial matters of the residents in the city, the future mercenary union of Bay City will probably not lack a number of tasks.

So when the time for the election of the king of mercenaries approached, Alan did not choose to delay, but prepared as scheduled, and even wanted to show his skills with great interest.
