Chapter 14: The Capital of Noze: Cutland
"Hadivin, someone is seeing you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info," Wadden said in a vague way, as he always did.
Since that mission, Hadiwin has been in the room for four full days. If it weren't for the floor-to-ceiling windows that let in sunlight, he would have had reason to believe that his room would have grown some fungal plants in a dark, damp environment.
Wadden walked out, he left the door open, and two men came in a short time.
"President, when are you coming back?" Hardiwin was overjoyed, but at the same time a little surprised, the president was able to make a trip to the general meeting in just four days, could it be that the general meeting happened to be not far away? (Bounty hunters are always built on a giant rock man, and they will always walk around on their backs every day, looking for a suitable place to stay, so the location is not always fixed in one spot, although if you are lucky, that rock man will stay in the same place for two days, although this is rare, unless the person in charge of writing the moving spell drank too much the day before yesterday and then got drunk in bed for a whole day and night)
Malouf closed the door and took two stools and sat down beside Hadivin's bed. His beard was still crooked, as if he had been flying back in some kind of whirlwind, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"It's actually quite a long way from here, but thanks to this old friend of mine, he was anxious to see you in person as soon as he heard the news I brought. Malov smiled and gestured to another visitor.
The man was about the same age as Maroff, with an embarrassing white beard, and his nose was red and round, hanging on his face like a freshly baked ball of strawberry bread. His teeth are very black, and he has a smoking gun pinned to his waist, and he looks like a veteran smoker.
"Young man, your situation Marloff has told me in enough detail on the road, my name is Kridolanf, I'm from the General Association, and I'm a bounty hunter. As he spoke, he pulled out his cigarette gun, rubbed it a few times and started a fire, "Don't you mind if I smoke in the house?"
"You please. Hardiwin looked at the unattractive old man in front of him in a daze. He had already heard of Krilan Grove's name, he was an orange-level hunter who was one of the few in the entire Tansfog continent. He is said to have failed only once in his mission so far.
"Wow!h
"Is this your tracker, it looks pretty good. Cridolanv grinned, suckled his bong, reached out and scratched Anemo's back, and then spewed out a cloud of difficult eye circles from his nostrils.
"Woo~~" Fengshen narrowed his eyes, wagged his tail and began to rub it in his hands. That's the expression it feels comfortable with. However, Hardivin, as the master, was taken aback, he naturally knew what the wind god had and what temper he had, and he had established a friendly relationship with him so easily, and it seemed that some of the rumors of Kridolanff were groundless.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Kerry Dolanf took a puff of his cigarette and lifted Hardiwin's left arm. The wound had almost healed, but the scab marks were still clearly left on it. He began to look up and down as if he were buying pork at the market, looking up and down, left and right.
"It's true that you were hurt by that kind of monster, but it's a good thing that you're alive now, and it doesn't seem like it wanted to chase you with all its might. In the end, he came to this conclusion.
"And what kind of monster is this, and where does he come from?" asked Hardivin.
"You don't have to worry about it, even if you want to care, with your current strength, you should know very well what the outcome of fighting it again will be, young man, don't be too impetuous. Crridolanff brushed off the full soot and then stretched out his right hand and placed it on Hardiwin's forehead, "Relax, think back to that scene a little more, and I'll be in your memory group." ”
"Good. Hardiwin was a little surprised, but took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. This ability to enter the human memory group is something that even the president can't do.
Dancing flames... Carriage... Boy... Black Sword... The lines at the end of the hilt... This is...
Kritolanf withdrew his right hand in surprise, he had just observed the lines on the black sword a few times.
Incredible. That's all he said.
"Are you alright, old man, I hate the fishy smell of the sea here. There was a grumbling voice outside the window, and Hardiwin looked at the source of the sound, and was so frightened that he almost jumped out of bed.
It was a huge eagle's head, half of its beak and one eye that took up the entire window, and it was snow-white, two stories tall.
"That's his tracking beast, the Ancient Snow Eagle, also known as Aurora. "The eagle doesn't like to be called a stalker or anything else that makes it feel disrespectful. If it loses its temper, I'm afraid this branch will be torn down alive. ”
"You just hate the smell of fish. Kerrydoranff smiled and straightened his clothes, then turned back to say goodbye to the group, "Looks like I'm going to Noze, my old friend, and this young man, and I hope we'll see each other again." With that, he climbed over the window, jumped on the back of the eagle, and flew away with a "hula".
......
Let's turn our attention back to Evan and them, who have arrived at the main city of Noze, which is the capital of Noze, the Reef of the Sea, and Cutland.
Cutland, the capital of Noze, was founded in the First Age, in the southeastern corner of the continent, facing Tanatos to the north and the sea to the south, and the other cities within the borders of the kingdom were about twice the size of Tanatos. The current ruler is the young Wells IV, with about 1,100,000 non-mobile residents and about 25,000 permanent soldiers stationed in the city, and most of them are skilled in long-range weapons such as bows and arrows.
Of course, in addition to the name of the reef of the ocean, Crane has also been called a "trading paradise" because of its unique offshore environment, as well as extremely rich marine resources and frequent traders.
The city of Ketland has three circular walls spaced several kilometers apart, which strictly separate the commoners, nobles and royalty from the outside to the inside (the outermost part of the civilian area adopts the measures of double wall to protect against enemies to improve the safety factor of the civilian area), and the X-shaped city wall divides the city into four urban districts, east, west, north and south.
As for the city wall, although the hardness is not as good as the fine iron wall of Tieyan City, but fortunately, the first ruler of Ketland built a large water conservancy project when building the city, making full use of the innate advantage of being close to the sea, and dug a moat about ten meters wide under each wall to consolidate the defense line, and the largest castle in the center of the city is the royal castle of Noze, which is separated from the royal area by a moat several meters wide, and is the core administrative fortress of Noze.
The carriage passed the routine inspection of the two city gates on the east side, and Ewen and his party entered the interior of the main city smoothly (because it was peacetime, even the national capital did not take very strict entry inspection measures in the face of such a huge flow of people every day).
The sound of exotic music sounded in the ears, and a veiled dancer writhed on the side of the street, attracting many travelers to stop and watch. Look at the street again, it is a bustling scene of people, and everywhere you can see trading vendors and patrolling soldiers. It is a place where the civilizations of the south of the continent meet, and it is also a paradise for the royalty and nobles of Noze.
"Is this the home city of Nozer, Cutland, it's so big. Evan exclaimed, he had heard travelers mention it a few times in the tavern of Suntown, but was still deeply shocked by what he saw for himself.
"What's there?" said Aven, seeing a house covered in pink gauze in the alley. At the door and on the open-air balcony stood several bewitching young girls. Although the weather was wet and cold, they were still wearing mink coats with exposed thighs, which was extremely charming.
"It's a brothel, and in a big city like this, it's legal, but don't look at it kids, watch out for the eye of a needle. Leah smiled evilly and looked at Aven, who was just starting to fall in love.
"Bang!" "Bang!" There was a chorus of cannon salutes not far away, and the people who were still wandering around the periphery stopped and began to gather in the city.
"Let's go, let's take a look. Evan jumped out of the carriage, he didn't miss anything to do, especially in such a bustling city.
