From Dagger, there is an endless plain, and from the map, you can see that this plain called Unicorn Ranch is dotted with more than a dozen cities, and the roads like gray ribbons connect them to form a vast network of transportation veins. A sparkling river curves from the plains, and its banks are lined with small territorial orchards and neatly cultivated areas.

Strictly speaking, North Sunderland is unevenly distributed, with the south of the country being full of dense cities and a huge population that can kill several people with a single drop of guano, while in the north it is noticeably much more barren and uncultivated - far from the centre of state power except for the threat of black barbarians on the border, and the king's orders may not be as good as that of a large manor owner.

As a result, many lords occupied large tracts of land for themselves, leaving the few peasants in the realm to take care of their estates and wheat fields in their spare time, leaving the endless land next to it to be left to the barren.

Erwin and Susan went all the way south, and all they saw and heard was like this.

The two were riding a horse together, galloping from north to south on the avenue called Wild Hoof Road towards a city called Black Pearl Cell.

At this time, seven days had passed since the two of them left outside Dagger City, and the pursuing cavalry did not find any trace of Erwin's deliberate cover-up, so the two of them leisurely walked downstream along the river and stepped onto a rugged path.

In the past seven days, the two of them also encountered a group of thieves who did not have long eyes, although the number was close to twenty, but most of them did not even have armor, and there were even those who used hoes as weapons, and wrote thieves as farmers.

The gang of thieves was beaten by Erwin's punches and kicks, and the leader of the thieves was knocked unconscious and thrown into the river.

The end result was a fairly clean suit, a small amount of money, and a pony with a noticeably little leg strength.

For the next few days, the two rode the hapless horse south, through most of the plains and several cities, to the Black Pearl Cell, which was only two days away from the city of Tórshavn.

It is called the Black Pearl because the walls of the city are made of a kind of black stone that is characteristic of the plains, and from a distance it looks pitch black, as if someone has smeared a handful of charcoal on the ground.

When she saw the gate of Black Pearl Cel from afar, Susan was not happy to continue to sit on the horse with Erwin, during which time she had been entangled for a long time and there was no one on the road to ride a horse with Erwin, and she was not embarrassed to be seen in a densely populated place.

Erwin looked at her amusedly, only to get a roll of his eyes.

Crossing the stone bridge to the bottom of the Sail Gate, El glanced up and saw two well-dressed soldiers with well-dressed armor standing on the towering black towers with crossbows and black pearls fluttering in the wind.

It has left the Wolf Legion's sphere of influence and is home to another elite legion in North Sunderland.

After entering the city, the number of pedestrians on the road also increased, although it was not as close as the bustling Cheng dù, but at a glance there were shaking heads everywhere.

Erwin and Susan found a cheap hotel, booked a room, and then ordered the hotel men to serve a not very tasty but generous dinner—it was already dusk, and they needed at least a night's rest in the Black Pearl Cell.

After dinner in the room, the two of them left the hotel together and went out into the street.

Erwin handed Susan the bag of money that was not much left after paying the rental deposit, then stretched out his finger and pointed to the sign of the hotel behind him, and said with a smile: "Remember the name, if you can't find your way back later, you can find someone to ask." After this period of time together, Erwin finally knew that the girl had a little bit of a road idiot attribute, and she would get lost in a place that was too complicated.

Susan blushed, took the money bag hatefully, then opened it and looked at it, before saying in a sullen tone: "There is not much left, what are you doing for me?" ”

"Find a weapon shop to replenish the bow and arrows, repair the wing bow, if there is any left, you can look at it, buy an earring, necklace or something, I just saw you didn't observe a jewelry store for a long time?" Erwin mercilessly exposed Susan's gaffe just now.

"What's going on?!" Susan gritted her teeth in anger and threw Erwin a non-lethal eye before she said, "What about you, what the hell are you going to do?" ”

During this period of time from Dagger City to now, the two of them have not spent a lot, and the little money they took from the thieves is not enough at all, but every time they arrive in a city, Erwin can always get some money enough for the two of them to spend without realizing it.

At first, Susan thought that Erwin had obtained it through shady means and was reluctant to spend it, but Erwin repeatedly assured that the money was coming from cleanly, and Susan put away her suspicions.

"What the hell can you do, of course you have to make money to support your family, but it's your responsibility as a man." Erwin grinned and turned around before Susan could raise her hand to fight.

Susan looked at Erwin's back as he left, suddenly blushed and sneered, then hid the money bag and walked to the other side of the street.

The two parted in front of the hotel, not to mention where Erwin had gone, but only that Susan was alone along the street to the crowded place.

A beautifully decorated trinket shop on the side of the road caught Susan's attention, and she looked across the long street at the entrance of the shop at some of the gorgeously dressed women, reached out and touched the shriveled money bag on her body, then pursed her lips, closed her gaze, and continued walking.

At the end of the street is a small market-like square, with a cistern in the middle gushing cool spring water that reflects the dazzling colors in the lights, and the paved stone square is filled with stalls of all kinds, and the night market is bustling with pedestrians as far as the eye can see.

Susan soon found a weapons shop in the square with a few spears as signs, she cautiously walked in, the dimly lit shop was filled with the smell of wood and iron, an old man with his back to Susan turned around, said "Welcome distinguished guest" and reached out to light an oil lamp.

Susan could barely understand the northern Portland, otherwise Elwin wouldn't have been worried about her wandering alone.

"Hello old man, I want to buy some bows and arrows, as well as tools for repairing bows."

"Come this way."

The old man led Susan to a shelf, which was filled with more than a dozen quivers, and a few quivers made of animal skins.

Susan's eyes lit up immediately, she preferred quivers, but the quiver containing the armor-piercing arrows had been lost in Dagger City, and the other cities along the way did not sell quivers.

"Please give me this."

"Okay, you have a good eye, guest, this is a military imitation, a quiver of thirty tors (the copper currency of the Great 6 in the north) arrows and one tor."

"So expensive?" Susan smacked her tongue, the bows and arrows she had bought in the border city of Gaston were all cheap goods, and one Thor could buy three.

But Susan remembered what Erwin had said, that the south was more jungle and wood was so cheap that no one wanted it, while the north was more plain and desert, and sometimes better wood was worth more than iron.

"This is the raw material of Enze claw lizard wood, the toughness and hardness are excellent, the production process is excellent, and a toll has been very cheap for customers." The old man said with his eyes half-closed, and his tone revealed the meaning of refusing to accept the bargain.

Susan pouted when she heard this, she was very fond of quivers and well-made bows and arrows, but she was running out of money, and she probably didn't have any left after buying bows and arrows, and she wanted to buy Erwin a pair of warm leather gloves.

The girl immediately became overwhelmed.

On the other hand, Erwin, who was separated from Susan, didn't have the heart to wander around, but went straight to the Victor's Tavern in Black Pearl Cell.

The Victor's Tavern is open for twelve o'clock and receives a variety of guests, but it is mainly for mission clients, as well as mercenaries and adventurers, and the purchase of alcohol is only incidental. - In other words, the Victor's Tavern is commonly known as the Mercenary Guild, or the Adventurer's Guild, but it has a collective name called the Freeman's Guild, which means freedom and unfettered.

The Guilds of the Free are not an organization, many countries and cities have such guilds, they are almost mercenaries and adventurers wherever they go, they go all the way, but they have nothing to do with each other. Sometimes there are four or five of these guilds in a city, because it's more like an industry, like a tavern or an inn, anyone can open one as long as you ask for money and connections.

The role of the Liberals' Guild is a platform to provide a channel for those in need, anyone in trouble can go to the Liberals' Guild for help, the guild will evaluate this troublesome matter, and then collect a fee, take a certain percentage of the labor fee from the cost, and then use the remaining cost to assign a task to the mercenary or adventurer who is willing to accept it to complete it within a limited time.

Mercenaries/adventurers also need to pay a certain guarantee fee before accepting the mission, because once you accept the mission, it means that others cannot accept it, and the mission completion deposit will be fully refunded, but you also need to pay a proportional labor fee to the Free Ones Guild. If you can't complete it, you will waste your time on this task and your deposit will be forfeited.

The Guild of the Liberals acts as a middleman, providing a channel between the principal and the mercenary/adventurer for profit.

This is obviously a rather lucrative business, and it can't be done without a certain status.
