After daybreak, Link told SΓΉ Jafar that he had just walked around the city, and then left the tavern with Yuan Ye.

"Then why does the old man always follow you?" Yuan Ye didn't know Link's true occupation yet, and was full of curiosity about Jafar who was acting with Link.

Link had a headache about how to hide from Yuan Ye that he was a child of nature. Sooner or later, if they act together, they will be exposed, but at the moment he can't say it, Su Wu and Gonzalez both warned not to tell their true profession until they confirmed that Yuan Ye could be trusted, there were too many examples of being betrayed by friends, and they didn't want Link to take risks.

Let's watch for a while...... Thinking so, Link spun around and made up a half-truth.

"My mainline npnetbsp;" Cut~ Why don't I have a helper. Yuan Ye's undoubting attitude made Link feel guilty.

Compared with the idyllic town of River Valley, Aydin City is full of cosmopolitan atmosphere, with planned streets and shops, and bluestone brick paved roads neat and clean, which is very different from the dirty medieval seen in film and television dramas.

"I thought it was just a small town. Yuan Ye muttered that it was too dark at night for them to see the whole picture of the city.

"In terms of the size of the land area, it is also 10,000 people. Link replied disapprehantly. The urban population of ancient China exploded to the level of Europe at the same time.

"It's already huge, medieval towns are usually just a few thousand people. Yuan Ye touched his shriveled wallet and sighed, "It's really hard to beat a hero with no money." ”

"What do you fancy again? ”

"I want to change this newbie outfit, it's too rustic. "The bard's smock is fashionable in Riverdale, but it pales in the big city.

"Sao Bao, don't forget who we are, we are adventurers from the countryside. Vaguely feeling that someone was far away behind him, Link reminded Yuan Ye that if he didn't have money, don't spend it indiscriminately, his friendship sponsorship has to be repaid.

As soon as he heard that he was going to pay back the money, Yuan Ye immediately shut up, allowing Link to enjoy a rare leisure for a while.

The layout of Aiden City is simple, it is a concentric circle structure, and the innermost part is the lord's residence. Beyond is the aristocratic quarter, which contains important institutions such as the town hall garrison and the temple. Next is the residential area of the common people, mixed with various shops for daily needs, and the outermost area is the strong-smelling and dirty artisan area such as slaughtering, laundry, and handicraft workshops. The mercenary quarters outside the city walls were not so orderly, and although there were facilities such as public toilets, it was obviously not able to cope with hundreds or thousands of mercenaries, and open defecation was everywhere. There are also makeshift stalls for foot traders in the tent area, which are usually guaranteed without disturbance because of the protection fee.

The main reason why Aiden is called the city of mercenaries is that Nyala, to which it belongs, is the only administrative province that has established diplomatic relations with Befast among the twelve territories, and it is the closest city to Longyan Fort.

After listening to the introduction that Link saw from the Big 6 Chronicles, Yuan Ye couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Rivervalley Town closer to Longyan Fort than Aiden, why don't you go there?"

Without a map, Link could only use his hands to compare the general directions. Riverdale was to the west, and the orcs did not dare to attack from there because of its proximity to the Pillars of the Earth. The Sword Blade Mountain, which separates Kaogo from Inner 6, is steep and extremely difficult to climb, making it unsuitable for mass marching, except for a relatively gentle canyon in the area bordering Mount Horacio, where humans built a military force hundreds of years ago to block the Orcs from attacking from time to time. Besides, Riverdale is too small to accommodate or supply so many mercenaries.

"They are all humanoids, why should they be kept in the wasteland? Inner 6 is so big, it is better to give them a part so that they don't have to fight every year. "Yuan Ye has seen the big 6 panoramic map in the adventurer's union, and many areas are uninhabited.

"Did you know that there is a saying that it is not my race? Link really wanted to pry open Yuan Ye's brain to see what was inside, what was mixed into this university.

"Dwarves and gnomes are everywhere, too. ”

"You should really read Edgar's ancient history, dwarves and gnomes only escaped underground when they lost the battle for land with humans. "The smell of the mercenary station is too strong, Link covers his mouth and nose and looks around, is there really an adventurer's union here? It's all tents, not a single decent building.

"Hey~ look there!"

Yuan Ye's sharp eyes saw a crowd of people, and he hurriedly patted Link on the shoulder, and the two of them squeezed forward together, the boot-shaped adventurer's union mark hung high on the top of a makeshift tent, books, cabinets, automatic writing pens, and even the receptionist was exactly the same as Riverdale.

"Aren't they afraid of danger?" The adventurers around were mostly male, and Link was surprised how the three of them could run to Ayden City, even if they were transferred jobs, there was no such thing as three of them being transferred together.

"That's an alchemy puppet, not a real person. Yuan Ye said in the tone of a passerby, "Don't look at their normal appearance......"

"Why don't you pay me!" a loud voice covered Yuan Ye's voice.

"You did not complete the task as delegated. The eldest blonde replied with a smile.

"Lao Tzu has completed the task according to the regulations, give the money quickly. "It was a burly warrior who quarreled with her.

"You did not complete the task as delegated. The union receptionist repeated word for word.

"Believe it or not, I smashed your stall!" the warrior slammed the table, causing the liquid in the inkwell to splash. As soon as the words fell, he was slapped away by the carroti, and the crowded crowd suddenly retreated, and the warrior fell directly to the ground, making the sound of broken bones.

"Look, another idiot. Yuan Ye whistled, "When I first came, I thought they were real people." ”

Dummy?Link squinted closely, his skin and eyes were not much different from those of a real person, how could alchemy do this?

"Alchemy is not just about rubbing potions, I will also ...... in the future" Yuan Ye was suddenly kicked, and his whole center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.

"Who?" Yuan Ye turned back with anger on his face, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the person who kicked him.

"Y-Why are you here?"

The one who attacked Yuan Ye was a thin young man, not tall, with long horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes.

"Block it for me. Yuan Ye yelled at Link.

"Who is he?"

"It's an enemy, we had a holiday in Riverdale, but I didn't expect him to come here. ”

Gamer?

"What, you want to shield a lewd person who robs by fire?" the man asked with an unkind face in the face of Link's scrutiny.

Link squinted at Yuan Ye, and he hurriedly explained.

"Whoever completes the task of the union cloth first counts, I just took advantage of the time when he cleared the monster to get the task props first. ”

Nothing more...... The corners of Link's mouth twitched, now the retribution is coming, let you be cheap.

Seeing that someone was about to fight, the mercenaries surrounded the three of them, and the coaxing was louder and louder.

"Hey~ You help me, I really didn't mean to, it's all used to the previous games. "Because he doesn't like to fight, Yuan Ye's skills are all auxiliary chanting on one side, and melee combat is all sloppy.

"Apologize to him. "If you can, Link wants to calm things down. It's not a good thing for players to hold a grudge against each other, and if you don't do it, it will kill you.

"Apologize is useful, what do you want the police to do. The man made it clear that he didn't accept it, and flew up and kicked at Yuan Ye.

Relying on the agility attached to his profession to dodge a kick to the face, Yuan Ye was knocked to the ground by the punch that followed, and he covered his bleeding nose and shouted, "Don't stand and watch, save me." ”

Link let out a long sigh, what an uneasy guy. stepped forward to stop the man who was still about to make up for a few kicks.

"You're going to help him get ahead?"

"No way, who made him my quasi-brother-in-law. ”

With a cold snort, the man threw a few quick punches at Link, quite a bit of boxing posture.

Link blocked the attack faster than his opponent and kicked him in the shin, and the short, thin man who took a few steps back stood still, his eyes looking at Link carefully.

With a long sword at his waist and a casual suit, he looks like a junior warrior, and he is no less than an assassin?

He reached out and pulled out a necklace from his clothes, and the whole person suddenly disappeared. The crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed, this was the signature secret of the assassins, and no one wanted to lose their lives because of the excitement.

Because of his experience working with the Night Elves, Link knew that the other party was lurking in the shadows, so he hurriedly applied the tree skin spell to himself. Almost at the same time, the shadow flickered under his feet, and the man suddenly appeared, clenching his fist and attacking Link's back.

As soon as the blow was successful, the man felt as if it had hit the trunk of a tree, rough and hard. Link shook his backhand, grabbed the other party firmly, and was about to speak, when the crowd of onlookers suddenly stirred.

"The garrison is coming!"

The people on the three floors inside and outside hula scattered.

"Run!" Link pulled Yuan Ye up to join the crowd that had dispersed. They were only suspected by the garrison yesterday of being involved in the orc sneak attack, and if they were caught making trouble, they would have to stay in jail for a few days.

Running near the city gate and making sure that the guards were not chasing Link before stopping, he suddenly saw that the short thin man who had just fought was actually beside him, only a few meters away. The two of them looked at each other, and they didn't mean to continue.

In order to resolve the unpleasantness, Link said that inviting him to have a drink should be regarded as making amends to Yuan Ye.

There is no deep hatred between players, and there is no need to be unhappy over such a trivial matter. The man was also refreshed, and when Link was willing to take the initiative, he followed him to the Golden Rose Tavern.

After a few glasses of beer, the man took the initiative to open his mouth, his surname was Pan, so he took a homophonic name, Paine, and his profession was an assassin. Entering Edgar two months before Yuan Ye, the game was unintentionally appeared on the Internet, attracted by the title that had never been experienced, and I didn't expect it to be a live-action RPG.

The straightforward personality almost immediately won Link's favor. He knew that his physical skills were mediocre, and he could suppress the other party with the blessing of divine arts, and this conflict made Link even more determined to practice his secondary talents.

Link's plight made Paine sympathetic, and he was also very envious of Link's promotion to veteran in a month. Because of the relationship between appearance and occupation, few people are willing to team up with him, and many union tasks cannot be completed by one person, and it has been almost half a year or LV4, which can be called a turtle.

He didn't know Link, he was a warrior by profession, Paine proposed to form a team, for fear that Link wouldn't agree, and he also deliberately explained that he only went to the dungeon to adventure or couldn't complete the union mission alone, and usually acted separately.

Coming to a strange space to experience a live-action RPG, not being accepted can only rely on his own mood, Link can understand, and his heart moves. Paine is a straight-hearted person who can be observed for a period of time, and if the person is not bad, he can dump Yuan Ye at him.

Paine was just thinking about giving it a try, but Link actually agreed, which made him a little overjoyed. Immediately discussed the type of previous mission, because he was an assassin, he relied more on the bad environment when fighting, and hoped to take on some team missions in the dark area as much as possible, which was exactly what Link wanted, he only had experience in killing demons and undead, and the two hit it off and immediately finalized a cooperation - to help the merchant Edward go to the family cemetery to retrieve the necklace that was buried with his mother.

Yuan Ye hummed and chirped on the side, he still hadn't stepped out of the shadow brought by the necromancer, he couldn't help it, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to mix experience, so he could only follow them to the cemetery located on the outskirts of the city.
