Chapter 1: Pollock Harbor

The Molai Merchant Federation is a very prosperous country, there was no country here at first, but because of trade, there were some supply ports. Villages were then established around these supply ports, and territories were divided, and finally states were formed.

It was a long, long time ago, when the Great 6th Calendar had not yet been established, there were already many villages and towns in this land called "Molai", and some large and small countries or forces were also established.

To this day, most of the political, economic, and culturally prosperous areas of Molai are still ports. The sea and trade are constant themes in this country.

At the beginning of June 778 in the 6th calendar, the port of Pollock, northwest of Molai, came some adventurers.

The captain of the guards at the gates, Jera, looked at them suspiciously—shouldn't the adventurers run to the "Norma Line" in the northern part of the Federation at this time?

These adventurers didn't seem to be wealthy, but for a bear man in a thick cloth robe, I don't know if he had any disease, and the hair on his body was all falling out, and he didn't look like an ordinary bear man's sense of strength at all, but like a tall human man - assuming that the ugly face was not considered. His body was pitch black, probably because he had been injured, or maybe because he was born with a deformity.

Gera had seen a lot of bears before, but this was the first time she had seen such a strange bearman. If it hadn't been for the answer when asked about the origin, he couldn't believe that he had seen a bear man, not some human with a deformed face.

(If he's so ugly, he's probably hard to mix)

Thinking like this, he felt a little more sympathy for the poor bear man.

The bear-man's companions were three young men, one with a red head, who looked very energetic, and although he carried a large bag of luggage, he was still in good spirits, and his red hair was very arrogant, and he could be seen to be a very energetic young man; standing next to him was a young man with a wooden stick as a crutch, who looked a little smaller than him, with a smooth gray and slightly blue head, and a small duffel bag on his back, and a little tired; the last one was a golden girl, who smiled very kindly, but the well-informed Jera could see at a glance that she was the kind of tigress who hid a knife in her smile, and was afraid that her companions would not be less beaten by her fists。

These four adventurers were quite downtrodden and had little to no weapons. Only the Red Boy has a simple half-body leather armor with an iron plate inlaid on his chest, which is barely a heart guard. His weapon was a very ordinary one-handed sword, and the scabbard was just a piece of wood wrapped in cloth, which made people really worry about whether it would get stuck when he drew it.

Even such a sword, which didn't even have a good scabbard, was already the only decent weapon for the four of them, and watching them enter the city, Gera felt that maybe they didn't go to the Norma Line, which was a wise choice.

Such an adventurous team, if you go to the Norma Line, may not survive even a day.

After all, the Norma Line is going to war with the Kingdom of Thrace!

"Damn Thracians, why do you want to fight? Isn't it good for everyone to do business and make money in peace?" he couldn't help but curse in a low voice when he thought of an investment that had been ruined because of the war.

Scolding and scolding, work still has to be done. The war on the front line did not hinder Pollock Port much, but because of the war, the convoy of war materials increased a lot.

Unfortunately, such a convoy does not pay the city tax, and Jera is very unhappy with this, but there is nothing she can do.

"Master, where are we going to stay?" Wren asked with some concern, "I just noticed that the prices here are a bit high." ”

In the small adventure team of Panda and three apprentices, Wren plays the role of steward. Although Panda is very rich, probably richer than most of the nobles in the world, in order to train his apprentices, he only took out a small amount of money as the start-up capital of the adventure team, and Wren is responsible for managing this money, and he is thinking about how to save it every day.

Walking through the streets of Pollock City, he couldn't help but look a little ugly as he noticed the prices of the roadside shops and vendors.

"Let's find a small city to explore, and according to the price estimates here, we will only have enough money left for five or six days. He said uneasily.

Panda smiled nonchalantly: "Five or six days is enough, in fact, there is only so much money around, which is the most normal situation for low-level adventurers." Let's go, let's go to the Adventurers' Guild first and see if there are any jobs to pick up. ”

The Adventurers' Guild is an organization unique to the Federation. Merchants and adventurers banded together to form such associations. Adventurers register their information and mission completion here, improve their credit rating, sell and buy various items at the right price, and employers can choose the right adventurer according to the difficulty of their mission, which can not only save money, but also complete the task more reliably.

Of course, not everyone can register with the Adventurers' Guild, and not all missions will be accepted by them. Adventurers with bad reputations, or those with poor credit histories, and employers who want to entrust unsightly assignments, will not be able to get help here, but will have to try their luck at "normal" idlers' meeting places such as taverns.

The Adventurers' Guild in Pollock City is a three-story house, and although it doesn't occupy a large area, the stone walls look sturdy, and the square shape of the building also gives people a sense of security.

Because of the front-line war, a large number of adventurers rushed to the Norma Line to make war money, and the number of adventurers left in Pollock City was not large, and it was not even enough to deal with the daily tasks in the city. Although the origin of the pandas is unknown, but because of the lack of people, they have also successfully completed the registration, but the credit evaluation is very tragic - the adventurer association divides the credit of adventurers into seven grades, each grade is a star, and the panda team, called "novice on the road", the credit evaluation is "preparation".

Not a single star.

Erwin was very unhappy about this, and yelled for a long time with the one-legged uncle in charge of the rank of the Adventurers' Association, but to no avail, the uncle seemed to be amiable, but he was very stubborn on the issue of credit evaluation, and did not mean to compromise even the slightest.

Fortunately, even the lowest level of "preparation" is enough to take on some very simple tasks.

Let's say, looking for people – no, looking for cats.
