Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Town of the Estuary

As the name suggests, Hekou Town is located on the top of an estuary, where a tributary of the Hongshui River meets the Hongshui River, on one side is a tributary formed by the convergence of clear forest streams, and on the other hand, there is a turbid river from the snow-capped mountains that wash over the plateau.

The Hongshui River below Hekou Town has a gentle flow and is suitable for shipping, so it has become the only grocery trading point of 6 taels of water in the vicinity of Baili, it is very prosperous, there are only two city gates in Hekou Town, one side of the north and south sides of the city is the mountain cliff, people dig stone ladders on it, and build various small villas in the relatively gentle place on the mountain cliff, which is the residence of the ruling nobles and rich people in the town, and the other side is the wharf built by the mountain, and the goods must be moved from the town to the wharf if they want to be transported by ship, so there are a lot of laborers to do the handling here.

Ades they come from the west, the west gate is an old town, the place is narrow, the houses are old houses, the red tiles of the roof are some dilapidated, the walls of the stone houses are covered with moss, an official road runs through the whole town from west to east, barely enough for two or two standard carriages to pass the official road is a model project of several generations of town rulers, and the ** stone strip of a water is the road surface, which can be taken in the famous big cities such as Shengang City, Nantes City, and Jianwan.

Ades was sitting in the carriage, chatting with the caravan leader who had changed horses and rode into the city, the caravan leader since he knew that Ades had killed the leader of the goblin warriors independently, he revealed the intention of solicitation, and constantly tested Ades along the way to see if he could recruit this tall, handsome, and powerful young man into the caravan, but what he didn't know was that behind Ades stood the church power of the goddess of the forest in the entire southern forest, plus Uncle Hunter's power in the riverside town, Ades didn't look down on such a small caravan at all, and politely refused。

The west gate of Hekou Town is a place where civilians and homeless people live, the guards vigilantly observe the surroundings, the homeless people sometimes risk their lives to steal goods from trucks, flee into the dilapidated and narrow alleys, outsiders do not know where the alleys will lead and how many forks in the road, the goods that have been stolen by people will naturally not be recovered, after the caravan has suffered several losses, every time they enter the city, they will cheer up, lest the goods they have worked hard to transport will be stolen to the last step, and the success will fall short.

According to the contract between Evis and the caravan, when the caravan enters the city and arrives at the adventurer's union, even if it completes this escort mission, Ades, that is, as soon as he enters the city, he can leave the caravan, after all, he is a passenger, but Evis does not allow him to go, and must Ades accompany her to complete the task, and the reward promised by the caravan leader has not been given yet, so Ades had to obediently follow the caravan to the small courtyard where the adventurer's union is located.

The Adventurer's Union is located on the edge of the wharf square on the west side of the town, and more than 100 steps down the granite steps is the dock where the cargo ship docks, the wharf square is the largest public square in the town, and it is also the center of the town.

The merchant leader saw that the adventurer's union had arrived, and sent two attendants to push the door into the adventurer's union, and after a while, several receptionists in the adventurer's union followed the merchant out, and began to count and handle some of the formalities for the completion of the task, the caravan would stay in the town of the estuary for a few days, sell some goods, and naturally purchase some goods, and then go down the river to continue their journey, the warrior leader will follow the caravan to continue walking, Yvis because she has a sister at home, and she will not go far every time she goes on a mission, so she has always been a supernumerary member of the adventurer's team, and she will be called if there is a mission nearby。

"Thanks to the two of you, according to the original agreement, our caravan will now hand over the bounty of gold and magic items to the two of you. The merchant leader took Ades and Evis away from the crowd and into the back of a carriage.

Feeling out the key and opening the crates, he climbed in, dragged out two boxes and placed them in front of Ades and Evis to open, Evis was prepared, took out a scroll, signaled Ades to get closer, and then touched the effect of the scroll, this is a low-level composite magic scroll "Spell Aura" is specially used to detect magic items, the brighter the aura means the better the quality of the magic items, as for what type of magic items, it depends on whether you can identify them.

Adès felt his eyes cool for a while, and then looked at the box, which was full of magic items, but there were no armor and weapons, they were all small items, and it seemed that the caravan had been prepared.

"You can choose whatever you want. The merchant leader's face was full of reluctance, and his smile became fake.

Evie was not polite at all, stepped forward and began to choose, this time it was almost dead, it was really in exchange for life, Ades also walked to the box next to him, and picked it, he has studied magic knowledge for more than half a year, and he almost has the ability to remember it by relying on his thoughts, so he remembers very clearly the characteristics of some low-level magic items, most of the boxes are useless things, either they are too long, or they are low-level auxiliary items that need to be charged, doubled, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he reached out and picked up a copper round shield-shaped buckle, which should have been used for a long time, and there was a layer of dirt accumulated from dust and greasy on the edges, it's not very bright from the aura, "I want this." Adès shook his hand and said to the merchant leader.

Evis next to her was still struggling with whether to want the necklace in her hand or the wrench on the side, Adès looked over, flipped through the box in front of her, took out a pair of earrings, handed it to Evis, and said, "Sister, I want this." Evis picked up the earrings from Adès's hand in confusion, which were a pair of silver metal studds inlaid with green gemstones, fiddled with them, and couldn't understand them, but his life was saved by him, and what else couldn't be trusted by him.

Adès could see that the silver metal had a metallic glow brighter than Mithril, a magical metal containing Mithril, a unique magical metal specially refined by alchemists to make ornaments, just such a little bit of metal could be exchanged for 2oo gold coins, not to mention that it was enchanted with magic that strengthened the will.

Adès saw it in the previous ambush battle, Evis's combat effectiveness is strong, but her fighting will is not outstanding, which causes Evres to be caught off guard when there is a sudden situation, and her head can't react at all, this permanent enchantment will enhancement earrings may be the icing on the cake for others, but for Evis, it is the best item to make up for the shortcomings.

"Okay, then I'm going to ask for this. Evis followed the example of Adès, shook her hand, held the earrings in her hand and said to the merchant leader.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with. "The merchant leader is also a person, and he agreed directly without any delay.

Ades and Eeves politely replied, "It's a pleasure to work together." ”

Here, the adventurer's union and the caravan have also been handed over, and the caravan will settle the reward for the task to Evis, because when he was ambushed by the wolf in the middle, he said that the bounty would be doubled, and there was an additional bounty when he attacked, and the warrior leader also counted the income of the magic wolf skin into the spoils of the attack team, and Evis could only take 7o gold coins to pay it into 14o + 3o + 5o that is, 22o gold coins, and most of the living expenses for half a year.

Ades also took 5o + 8o caravan ambush he also contributed, the merchant leader gave 5o gold coins as a reward very generously, plus an additional 3o for the attack and 5o for the wolf skin, 13o gold coins, Ades is not polite, anyway, it is a one-time task, whether we can meet again next time is a problem, if you don't take it in vain.

"Head, I'm going to accompany my sister to rehabilitate and exercise in the near future, and I may not be on a mission, so you will come to Hekou Town next time to visit my house. Evis said goodbye to the warrior leader and several other fellow adventurers.

"Okay, I'll bring a gift for your sister next time I come, and I wish her a good recovery. "The warrior leader and Evis have also cooperated a few times, at least when they go on missions, they can be regarded as friends of life and death, not to mention that Evis is still a cold and arrogant beauty, so she has always taken extra care of Evis.

"Goodbye guys, take care all the way. ”

"Well, take care. ”

Ades shook hands with Yvis and the caravan and adventurers to say goodbye, and the adventurer's life was like this, gathering and scattering.

Ades followed Evis slowly walked east, the winter wolf mount obediently followed, from time to time there were people to greet Evis, the children playing on the street saw the huge winter wolf following behind and exclaimed, they all hid behind the adults, there were familiar people who explained to them, this is the proprietress of the leather armor shop in the east, and behind it is her riding beast, Ades secretly thought, it seems that Evis is also a famous figure in the town.

Evis's ancestors have lived and worked in Hekou Town, her father is a master leather maker, and the family has opened a leather armor shop in the alley in front, and the adventurers in the neighborhood are full of praise for the leather armor produced by Evis's family, especially the rangers, druids and other professionals who can't wear metal armor, because the leather armor design of Yvice's family is very ingenious, and it will increase the thickness in specific parts, making the leather armor particularly convenient to load and unload, and the defense is comparable to metal armor.

Evis showed extraordinary talent when she was a child, not in combat, it was leather-making, at the age of 14, she completely inherited her father's craftsmanship, and after becoming a professional, she was more blue, she was a ranger, and she had a special understanding of some of the ranger's combat skills and styles, and the leather armor worn by the ranger after the transformation was sought after by the market, if it were not an accident, Evis would not have come out to be an adventurer, and she would have been rich for a lifetime by inheriting the family's leather armor shop.
