Stillburton, the city of the Hearth, is located on the border between the Duchy of Byrland and the Arcane forces.

Gustav was no stranger to the town, and in Leoc's workshop, much of the smelted metal he came into contact with came from this place. According to the details of the accounts between Redfarr and the City of Fire, about 60% of Redfarr's annual steel consumption comes from Stillburton.

With the mine as the center, the miners brought their families with them, and after forming settlements, they evolved into villages, towns, and finally towns. In order to facilitate management, the Grand Duke of Barran gathered this piece together with the original several small territories and divided it as a barony. At that time, Stillburton was not the current city of fire. At that time, the Grand Duke of Barran threw his hated subordinate Shakur Green into this area as a disguised exile.

At that time, Stillburton was formed by the gathering of some miners, and there were not many mines developed, and the dozen knights brought by Shakur were more than enough for a territory of this size.

But after several large and rich mineral deposits were discovered in succession, the tax revenue here suddenly increased. With the discovery of the most versatile magical steel, the most abundant ordinary steel, stainless steel, and a great deal of characteristic minerals, Stillburton, the barony, began to expand rapidly.

No one could have imagined that what was just a gathering place for a group of exiled miners would become what is now Stillburton, the city of fire.

With the rapid expansion of tax revenue, the descendants of Shakur began to carry out urban construction in a big way, with tall walls, clean streets, dense commercial areas, and reasonable residential areas...... Slowly, like a miracle in the wilderness, this piece established a complete urban system. And with the main city of Stockburton as the core, a circle of satellite cities radiates outwards to defend the barrier.

Baron Green, a descendant of Shakur back then, has refused to accept Baron's request for promotion and continues to retain his baronial title. They stubbornly kept a distance neither close nor distant from the blood of the Grand Duke of Barran, which made for a lot of speculation.

But beyond the many speculations, only one is confirmed.

Although Stillburton is only a barony, its influence has far exceeded the earl's fiefdom, and it can even be said that it has a great deal of power in terms of wealth.

"It's here. Zell walked out of the teleportation circle with Gustav and Amelia in the industrial area of Stillburton. In Redfar, almost all guild teleportation arrays will have a waypoint set here.

The surrounding scenery has a fiery atmosphere, and Gustav found that industry and steel are closely linked.

"Take it, here are the details of the commission. Zell stretched, "I'm going to get some rest." ”

Gustav was surprised and said, "Aren't you the temporary leader, why are you so irresponsible?"

Zell shook his hand: "Don't worry, according to my experience, this kind of thing is just some little demons who have crossed the line, and the two of you are enough to deal with it." It's also a workout for you, so I'm going to take a break. ”

Throwing the details of the commission to Gustav, Zell whistled and began to ask passers-by, "May I ask if there are any taverns in this neighborhood?"

Zell only becomes polite and humble when he is addicted to alcohol.

............

"The commission states that we are asked to go to the Arlett church in the City of the Hearth to find a Mr. Charlie Hunter. Gustav said with some confusion after confirming it repeatedly.

The 'Blood of Light' sect in the Arlett Nation recently launched an attack on Redfarr, and although the church here is ostensibly neutral, Gustav still feels a little incomprehensible that Redfarr adventurer is in the church.

"As long as you don't reveal your identity as an arcane and only appear as a member of the Demon Hunter's Guild, even the people of the Alette Church won't do anything to you. Amelia kindly explained.

Then, her accent began to change a bit.

It sounds like it's just a few changes to the pronunciation of some syllables, but this small change gives Amelia's accent a strong Byerland flavor.

Gustav was a little surprised by this, but at the same time recognized some of the girl's strengths.

She may not like to speak, but she has a good experience with language imitation, and when she was in Redfarr, Amelia's pronunciation was so consistent with local habits that Gustav almost forgot where she came from.

"Have you forgotten? I was originally from the border of the Duchy of Byrland, and this is my hometown. Amelia regained that slightly proud tone, this part is a miner, working topless every day, with a direct personality, and in such an atmosphere, even from the arcane empire, which is known for its reason, has become a little rigid.

"I may know part of Reinhardt's thoughts," Gustav said thoughtfully to Amelia, "and it seems that he really takes good care of you." ”

Amelia looked at Gustav with a little puzzlement, and the two of them walked side by side on the lively street.

"In a sense, this is your 'main battlefield', where you can give full play to your great advantages, whether it is to get closer to people or to obtain information. Gustav turned down the sales vendor who came by on the road, and said to Amelia, "I think you will pass the test this time." ”

"Of course, I've always known that. There was a lot of sweetness in Amelia's tone: "Mr. Reinhardt is such a person, I always knew that. It's just that I'm too unwitty sometimes, and maybe Zell is right, and it's a question of whether I'll be able to adapt to life as a witcher. ”

Gustav looked at the crowded streets and felt the hustle and bustle of this 'city of fires'.

"I didn't mean to enlighten you, Amelia. Gustav smiled and said, "The work of a witcher is very hard, and it is an attitude that you have the courage to join in. ”

"Thank you!" Amelia replied positively.

............

Both men were professionals, both of them were in good physical condition, and they walked at a steady pace, and after about seventeen minutes, they arrived at the church site marked on the commission.

The Diocese of Bairland, the cult of Arlet, was an important extension of the Arlett Empire before the Arcane Empire, but since then, it has been affected by different cultures and has gradually become neutral.

Even so, there is still a strong religious atmosphere in the current Duchy of Bairland.

It's Saturday, and there are many people who go to church to pray and confess.

Seeing two strange adventurers dressed as people approaching, the pastor at the door of the church walked up with a smile: "The Lord of Radiance, two adventurers who have never met, have you come here to receive the gospel?"

Amelia smiled knowingly, dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, and she replied in a thick Barrand accent, "Lord Reverend, we are here to find a Mr. Chuck Hunt who has submitted a commission to our guild. ”
