Soon after eating the food on the table, Alan had no intention of going out, and would go to the room.

Allen, the young master, didn't go out, and of course Charlie and Buck, who were guards, didn't go out.

There was nothing to say all night, and when the morning sun shone on the edge of the bed, Alan had already gotten up, after all, there was still a task today.

Out of the inn, Buck and Charlie were already leading the horses to the door, "Today we will go to the street to buy a map and see the route to the national capital." ”

Although I visited the entire street stall yesterday, none of the stalls had anything as tall as a map, and something like a map should be in the store.

The shopkeeper inquired about the map seller, and after paying ten copper coins as a tip, the shopkeeper happily sent a runner over and took Alan and the three of them to find the shop that sold the map.

After a while, following the running hall to his shop, Alan smiled and took out a copper coin and handed it to the running hall, who took the copper coin and was a little frightened, but was infected by Allen's smile, nodded and thanked him and left.

"Look at the horses, I'll go in and have a look. Alan instructed without looking back.

Alan walked into the shop, which was a little dark and most of the windows were closed.

After a closer look, the structure inside is very peculiar, just entering the eye is a counter, which should be the place for trading, the left side is very empty, there are some tables and chairs, but on the right there are some shelves similar to the kind of modern library, on which there is a lot of parchment?

Alan thought with some uncertainty, "What do guests come here to buy?"

At this time, an old man sitting behind the counter said in an old voice.

The old voice instantly woke Alan from his fantasy, and he said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it's just a little strange about the structure inside." ”

"It's okay," the old man smiled and said indifferently, "Many people feel strange, and many shops are bright, and it is normal to think that it is strange." It seems that the old man is used to seeing similar scenes.

"No!" Alan shook his head, fixing the old man's tone, "I'm just surprised that anyone could think of using this method to ensure the longevity of the parchment." ”

When the old man heard Allen's words, a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he stood up with some excitement, "You know this, I thought I was the only one who knew ......."

"Slow down, I'm just here to buy a map, don't get excited, don't get excited. Alan looked at the excited old man, and hurriedly walked over and said, don't buy a map yourself, and kill someone.

"Are you here to buy a map?" the old man slowly calmed down, remembered what Alan had just said, and asked suspiciously, "Where is it?"

Listening to the old man's words, Alan was a little confused, and said, "What big picture, what small picture?"

"You don't even know what the map is," the old man looked at Alan in surprise, "That's it, I'll tell you, what about this map, the big map refers to a very rough map, but it covers a large area, for example, the map of our entire Xize Kingdom, there is only the division and name of each territory on it, and the second small map is more detailed, for example, the city of White and its surroundings are now marked in detail." ”

Alan listened to the old man's introduction and said that he was going to the national capital, so he could buy a map of the entire kingdom and learn about the distribution of forces in the entire kingdom.

Thinking about it, he said to the old man, "Well, then I'll buy a map of the whole kingdom." ”

After hearing this, the old man did not move, but asked, "Little brother, you are going to go far away." ”

"Yes, yes," Alan nodded, and continued: I want to go to the national capital. ”

Hearing Alan say that he was going to the national capital, the old man's eyes flashed, "A map of the kingdom is not cheap, little brother, have you brought enough money?"

"Is it expensive?" Alan couldn't help but think of the world map in his previous life, a few dollars a piece, is the map very expensive?

"Hmph!" the old man snorted, "of course it's expensive, don't you want to think about how many people need to spend how much money it takes to draw a map?"

Alan was dumbfounded, it turned out that it was so difficult to draw a map, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "How much is that map?"

The old man flickered his face, "No two prices, 10,000 gold coins." ”

"Gollum!" Alan heard the price, and he didn't have that much money to sell himself.

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, shook my head, and walked outside, "I can't afford it!"

"Well, don't go," the old man stopped Allen, "I can give you this map, but you have to do me a favor." ”

Alan stopped, looked at the old man suspiciously, and said, "What's the hurry, I'm still in a hurry to go to the national capital!." ”

"Don't worry, it's just for you to go to the capital to do it, how about it, do you want to do it?" said the old man in a seductive voice.

Hearing the old man say that he did it in the national capital, Alan was overjoyed, but said: "Then you tell me what to do first, if it's not difficult, it's not that I can't help you." ”

"It's certainly not difficult, just let you send a letter to a man named Austin Christian, just say that it was given to him by Alec Charles, how about it, easy. The old man said.

"That Austin Christian can't be hard to find, right?" Alan looked at the old man with suspicion, that is, Alec.

"No, you will definitely be able to find it when you arrive in the national capital, don't worry. Alec reassured.

Alan thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he agreed, "Okay, where is the letter? And the map." ”

Hearing Alan agree, Alec happily walked to the cabinet on the left and rummaged through it for a long time, finally pulled out an old parchment, returned to the counter, and took a letter from underneath, which seemed to have been written for a long time.

"By the way, I don't know what your name is?" Alec asked suddenly, as he handed it to Alan.

Alan hesitated for a moment and said, "Just call me Allen." ”

"Alan?" Alec muttered, "a good name." ”

"Then I'll go first. Alan heard Alec's words, glanced at him, and then said.

"Go, go. Alec said with a wave of his hand.

Looking at Alan who walked out of the shop, "Young Master, how is it?" Charlie asked hurriedly.

Alan waved the parchment in his hand, indicating that he had already bought the map.

"Look, I said that the young master can buy it, but you still don't believe it. Charlie said happily to Buck.

"What's wrong?" Alan asked, confused, when he heard Charlie's words to Buck.
