Hu Bin, who left the mercenary guild, was not ready to take on the escort mission, so there was no need to go to the chamber of commerce, and Hu Bin, who did not have a special request, was ready to listen to the advice of the tour guide Nicole and re-look at the city from the eyes of the head snake. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test

Nicole was satisfied this time, she directly pulled Hu Bin to the most prosperous commercial street in Dandy City, and then left the guests alone to go shopping for those things that girls like. Hu Bin, who was abandoned after making an appointment with the time and place of the meeting, smiled helplessly and walked around the commercial street with the mentality of walking.

Dandy City is worthy of being the commercial center of the northwest province of the kingdom, and goods from all over the Human Alliance can be seen in the store, but they are basically for civilian use, and the Human Alliance has a particularly strict control over military materials, not only because of the shortage of these materials, but also because of factors such as limiting the strength of the great nobles in various places.

Although Hu Bin didn't wander around here with any purpose, but after a circle and didn't find anything valuable, he was a little tired, and after a little hesitation, he didn't wait for Nicole, and went directly to another block to take a look, and it really made him find a lot of useful information.

No one would have imagined that next door to the bustling business district would be the dirtiest slum, but after Hu Bin simply walked around here, he came to the conclusion that this slum is not simple at all.

As a large port, there was a huge number of merchant ships plying the port of Dandi every day, and it was these merchant ships that gave rise to a profession of unloading workers who were made up of residents who could not find decent jobs in Dandy City, and most of them came from the slums. These workers, who made a living by unloading, gradually monopolized the loading and unloading of the port, and even united to form a large force.

Everyone has things they want to do but can't, and thieves are a profession that specializes in helping people solve certain things that they can't do. When people think of the thief business, people think of words such as assassination, stealing, and concealment, but the thieves' union in Dandy City does not hide in the shadows, but directly in the ghetto. The scope of work does not only include traditional projects such as assassinations and stolen goods. Scouting and exploration missions will also appear here, and there are even some bounties with official backgrounds. Let Hu Bin find this here is a little staggered.

Hu Bin overheard some news during the conversation of the workers at the dock that the black market in Dandy City is located in the civilian area, but because he did not explore the slum deeply, Hu Bin did not find the location of the black market.

In the end, Hu Bin, who delayed for a long time to return to the agreed place. Seeing Nicole, who had been waiting for a long time with an angry face, as for why the eldest lady was willing to wait here for an hour, it was entirely because she had purchased more than she could carry this time, even if a happy shopkeeper supported a small cart, but for an eldest lady, the problem was still difficult.

"Why don't you hire a worker nearby to help?" Hu Bin ignored Nicole's various complaints and asked with some surprise. As a result, Nicole's face turned red all at once.

"It's just that I bought a few more things, and I don't have enough money to hire people!" Nicole awkwardly explained that she had indeed thought about it at the time, but when she thought of Hu Bin, a ready-made workforce. I didn't resist the temptation to spend all the money, and now that I think about it, this plan seems a bit rude.

Hu Bin looked at the items of a flatbed truck and was a little speechless, this eldest lady casually asked a shop to escort her, and the owner of that shop would rush up to give out for free, and the city guards everywhere nearby could also be qualified for this job, could it be that Nicole, who was a nobleman and a city lord, didn't even think of these common sense. But since he encountered such a situation, Hu Bin couldn't hand over this errand to others, so he simply pushed the flatbed truck and walked to the next destination.

"Dare to release my pigeon, but using you as a coolie is really cheapening you." What Hu Bin didn't know was that Nicole showed a sly smile behind him, how could she not think of calling someone to help with her identity, she just wanted to take revenge on Hu Bin for being late.

Hu Bin wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet Count Hines, the purpose was to use the excuse of experience to try to receive the task of suppressing bandits directly from the publisher, and I believe that with his current relationship with Count Hines, the count would not refuse this request.

Count Hines didn't let Hu Bin wait for a long time, and immediately pulled Hu Bin and Nicole into the city lord's mansion after finishing the work at hand. After listening to Hu Bin's request, Count Hines fell into thought, which made Hu Bin a little worried, a task to suppress bandits, how could it cause Count Hines to think for so long, could there be any hidden secrets.

"You want to go to the bandits?" Count Hines hadn't spoken yet, but Nicole was a little surprised when she heard Hu Bin's request, although Hu Bin had the reason to train himself, but the errand of banditry, which only mercenaries would do, he was willing to surrender his identity to try.

"Yes." Hu Bin replied very resolutely.

"Reed, I issued the task of suppressing bandits in fact, I just wanted to suppress the bandit forces nearby, and I didn't specifically target them, this mission is really not suitable for you." To Hu Bin's surprise, Count Hines actually rejected him euphemistically.

"However, if you're just looking to train yourself, I've got a mission here for you." Just when Hu Bin showed a slightly disappointed look, Count Hines suddenly said with a smile. "There is a gang of bandits on the neutral side who have invaded the southern part of the province, and some time ago, for some reason, I was not able to pay attention in time, resulting in a number of caravans being robbed and killed by them in the northwest province. According to the information sent back, the strength of this bandit gang is not low, I am ready to send an elite team to expel them, if you are interested, I will arrange for you to participate in this mission. ”

"I can't ask for it!" Hu Bin immediately agreed.

"Very well, Reed, with you on board, this mission is much more certain. It's a pity that you are not an orthodox nobleman of the kingdom, otherwise you would have been able to join the military system in the name of it, and it is very likely that you will accumulate a lot of credit by relying on this mission. Count Hines said with some regret that he was very eager to keep this young man of great strength by his side to help, so that he could have greater certainty in the great operation to be carried out later.

"How did I forget it!" Hu Bin suddenly thought of something after hearing the earl say this, and immediately took out the head ring that the goddess Apat had given him.

"Hey, this is the Noble Ring. Reed, how did you get him? The moment Count Hines saw the headband, a lot of waves were set off in his heart, and he was a little out of shape for a while.

"The family gave it to me, and the elders told me that if I had to deal with nobles. You can take it out and use it. Of course, Hu Bin knows the role of this headband. But I still made up a reasonable explanation.

"Solant family, no wonder! Maybe from today. I'm going to call you Baron Sorant. Count Hines calmed down the turmoil in his heart, and joked with surprise, accepting Hu Bin's statement without the slightest doubt. His impression of Hu Bin has risen from appreciation to attention.

"Father, what the hell is this headband?" Nicole was really taken aback this time. The kingdom has strict restrictions on the number and rank of noble seats, resulting in each title being quite weighty. As the daughter of the patriarch of the Hines family, she was only made a baron by the kingdom, and she will only inherit the title of count when she really takes over the Hines family in the future.

"The existing aristocratic system of the kingdom is jointly controlled by the big family and the royal family, and if commoners want to enter the noble class, they can only achieve it by accumulating military merits or becoming knights, but there are some exceptions. That is, the direct inheritance of nobility through the noble ring. Count Hines looked at the headband, which was not unlike the one in the family records, and slowly explained its origin. In the battle when humanity broke through the shackles and freed itself from the fate of enslavement, a group of heroes emerged, relying on their efforts. Humanity eventually formed a kingdom. Some of the surviving Founding Fathers became the ruling class of the kingdom, the ancestors of the major families of the time, while others chose to retire. But the kingdom did not forget their efforts, and the king of the time built a number of noble rings, promising that their descendants could receive the kingdom's hereditary titles with the noble rings. Speaking of this, Count Hines once again looked at the head ring in Hu Bin's hand: "This noble ring corresponds to the title of hereditary baron. ”

After listening to this series of historical explanations, Hu Bin suddenly felt that Alexander had only taken this item from the goddess Apat, but he never thought that he could lead to so many stories.

"Reed, I'll go and report your title to the kingdom in a moment, and I'm sure you'll be notified of your knighthood soon. Can you consider joining the military right away? The original problem of Hu Bin's identity no longer exists, and Count Hines actively invited Hu Bin.

"It is a great pleasure, Your Excellency." Hu Bin accepted it without hesitation.

"Very well, your knighthood will arrive in three days, and you are welcome to choose your territory in the Northwest Province at that time." Count Hines said in a comfortable mood, the Northwest Province is his family's territory, and it just so happened that the Riffel family had vacated a lot of territory after being crippled, and it was not a problem for him to assign a barony to Hu Bin.

"Definitely!" Hu Bin was in a trance, territory, this word is not unfamiliar to him at all, but for him who has just entered the mission world for a few days, it is definitely a great gift. Hu Bin silently put the noble ring on the top of his head, and he began to feel the great value hidden behind this item.

"Tomorrow you can go to the barracks and not report, Nicole, and take advantage of your free time today to hang out with Baron Reed." Count Hines gave Nicole a look.

"Daddy!" The father's matchmaking was too obvious, which made Nicole complain loudly, as for what really happened to Hu Bin, Nicole didn't have the idea of doing so. "Who would fancy this guy who doesn't respect a lady at all." Nicole couldn't help but think of the scene where Hu Bin spanked her, and her face instantly turned red.

Hu Bin didn't take Count Hines's words as a joke at all, the union between nobles is a very common thing, and the most stable alliance is, of course, marriage, but Hu Bin knows very well that he is just a passerby to this world, and he has not thought about it.

As the lord of the city, Count Hines was of course busy with precious time, and the satisfied Hu Bin did not continue to stay there, and continued to talk politely about the topic of military tasks, and then asked the earl to leave, and withdrew from the city lord's mansion with Nicole.

"What's next?" Seeing that Nicoto brought the goods on the flatbed cart back to the manor, Hu Bin found that the time was still early before dark, so he couldn't help but ask.

"It seems that you are also a mage, right, let's go to the alchemy shop next to the mage tower to have a look, there are a lot of good things there, but it's a pity that the teacher went to the royal capital to do business, otherwise you can go to the mage tower to go around, I picked up a lot of scrolls there." Nicole said with some regret.

"Like this scroll?" Hu Bin shook the ice arrow scroll, he finally knew where the messy scrolls on Nicole's body came from, and it was really a thief.

"Give it back to me." Nicole pounced viciously, forgetting that she had been robbed of a magic scroll by this guy not long ago.

"Anyway, it's all picked up, and since I picked it up, it's mine." Hu Bin calmly raised his arm, without the intention of returning to the original owner at all.

"Give it back! Give it back! ......" Nicole tried to jump up and grab the scroll from Hu Bin's hand, but it was a difficult task for her height. Suddenly, Nicole's center of gravity was unstable, and she pounced directly on Hu Bin's body, and subconsciously hugged Hu Bin's waist with both hands, and Hu Bin's hands were still held high above his head, and the two were stuck together in such an ambiguous posture, and it was Nicole who was upside down.

Nicole blushed for the third time today, and she couldn't understand why her always calm and calm self couldn't help but get irritated when she touched that guy. Nicole, who couldn't figure it out, pushed Hu Bin away and fled backwards, while Hu Bin shook his head innocently and helplessly, and chased after him quickly, in the eyes of others, the two chased each other like an awkward couple, but in fact, ......

"Hey, don't run so fast, I don't know the way!"

The trip to the alchemy shop made Hu Bin full of disappointment, the goods in the store were quite low-end, and the variety was not complete, and the price was high, and he really had no interest in him with less than three hundred gold coins in his pocket. Nicole was also not very satisfied with the situation in the store, not that she had no money like Hu Bin, but that most of the goods here came from the Mage Tower, and during the time when her teacher was traveling, there were almost no good things flowing into the alchemy shop.

"Well, I should have thought of such a situation!" Nicole complained unabashedly in front of the embarrassed shopkeeper and ended the day with regret. Hu Bin, who said goodbye to Nicole, found the hotel according to his memory, and after preparing to rest for the night, he went to the barracks to report early the next morning.
