Chapter 284: Will's Suggestion
After just ten minutes, a piece of leather with small letters written on it was sent into the vicinity of the port, the dirtiest and most messy place, which was also the area where the free criminals of the city lived. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unlike most of Kempera's Guild-protected streets, it wasn't technically part of the city, but rather a shanty town built around cliffs outside the city walls.
Except for a few prominent stone buildings, most of them are made of dilapidated wooden planks, seaweed, and salvaged shipwrecks, so the rules and laws of the city do not apply at all.
If the mental state of the inhabitants within the city walls represents the positive feelings of duty, bravery, and honor, then the sinners of this shantytown show the means to survive by all means.
Although most of them had been pardoned by the guild through forced labor and allowed to seek work as freemen, few were actually willing to give them a truly decent job, either by unclogging filthy and rancid sewers, cleaning up garbage and manure, or by working in quarries, mines, and docks.
As for those who really can't find a job, they can only rely on the handouts of the uncrowned king of the region, the dark elf Vivien.
Of course, this alms are not free, and those who receive alms once must take a very strict oath to join the army and become a soldier when the war of restoration is launched.
Thieves and robbers abound the area, but they all share a common allegiance: Her Royal Highness Princess Vivien, the owner of the three-story stone building on the highest cliff, and her loyal retainers.
Suddenly!
A small man in a gray cloak and hood appeared in the middle of the street, ran at great speed towards the stone building at the top of the cliff, shoved the small note into the crack of the door under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes in the darkness, and then turned away.
After about three or five minutes, Eleanora took the note to the balcony on the third floor, got down on one knee and reported, "Your Highness Princess, the mysterious watchman is back. As before, it appeared out of thin air around the livestock market, which, as far as we know, is the only exit from the Elemental Heart to Kempera. ”
"Oh, so he just left the Elemental Heart?" asked Vivien, curling the corners of her mouth.
"That's right, and the note doesn't seem to have a particularly serious rejection of the criminals, which I think is worth using. With that, Eleanora took the note written on the leather with both hands.
Vivien took it and glanced at it, and immediately ordered, "Go and prepare, and act according to the original plan." Remember, act like a little bit, and I don't want the whole thing to go wrong. ”
Eleanora nodded slightly: "Don't worry! I have already arranged it, and I promise that there will be no accidents!"
......
Lu Li didn't know that as soon as he returned to Kempera, he was already being targeted.
He was standing in front of the newly built garrison and warehouse, talking to Will, who had come to inspect the quality of the work, asking for information about the weapons and armor of the Zeus Legion.
"I'm sorry, but the age you want to know is so old that I can only help you inquire about it at most, and no one can say if you can really find useful information. Will spread his hands helplessly.
Lu Li obviously also knew very well how difficult it was to find information about a group of "ancients" more than three thousand years ago, and responded with a smile: "It's okay, just do your best." Also, I've brought in a couple of more powerful new guys this time, so remember to coat them all for me. ”
"No problem, it's all trivial, I'll leave it to me later, just come to the blacksmith early tomorrow morning to get it." Oh, by the way, although these houses and warehouses have been built, they are not inhabitable for the time being, and they will probably need to be dried for another half month or so, until the white powder on the walls is completely dry. ”
With that, Will signed his name on a piece of "paper" made of leather.
There is a law in Kempera that requires all designers to guarantee their own buildings to ensure that they will not suddenly collapse for at least fifty years, or face the guild to question them and even compensate the occupants for their losses.
The workers who stood by and waited smiled happily when they saw this scene, because it meant that the project was over and they could receive their share of the salary.
Will, who likes to be straightforward, didn't talk nonsense, wrote a string of numbers directly at the bottom of the vellum paper, and then handed it to the foreman: "Take it, go to the sparks and iron felt in the craftsman's area to get paid, and my apprentices will pay the honorarium." ”
"Thank you very much, Master Will, it is our pleasure to serve you. The foreman took the leather paper with both hands, bowed respectfully, and then led the excited workers to run towards the craftsman's quarter.
They can't wait to grab the money and have a big meal at a nearby tavern or inn and celebrate again.
Seeing the workers disappear at the end of the road, Lu Li immediately raised his head and continued to ask: "Do you know who has the best hand-to-hand combat skills in the entire Kempera?"
"Hand-to-hand combat skills?!" Will raised his eyebrows in surprise, then glanced back at the spear and cannon dragged behind the Humvee, and asked very suspiciously, "Why do you suddenly care about this? Haven't you always been a ranged attacker?"
"Don't mention it! I'm in a little trouble and need to make up for my shortcomings. Lu Li explained with a wry smile.
Ever since he had fought the mysterious man with a spear, he had found that his hand-to-hand combat abilities were a scumbag, especially cold weapons, which had no skills at all other than stabbing them.
If it weren't for the fact that the agility attribute was much higher than that of ordinary earthlings, I am afraid that I would be stabbed to death with a spear.
"You're such a weirdo! All adventurers train themselves to be the best part of themselves, but you are the opposite of others. Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I suggest you go to Agnipe, on the one hand, you both have the wind attribute, and on the other hand, she is the most comprehensive adventurer in melee skills outside of Rudolph. ”
Although he didn't quite understand the other party's thoughts, Will still gave a pertinent suggestion.
Thinking of the blonde girl who was as cold as ice, the corners of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help twitching: "Are you sure that I will go directly to the door, and I will not be killed by the people of the Sacred Thorns, or driven out?"
"Hahahaha! Rest assured! Although Agnee is cold on the surface, she is very kind in her heart, otherwise she would not be the leader of the good faction. With that, Will slapped Lu Li on the back as a sign of encouragement.
It's just that his hand strength is a little bigger, and he almost vomited blood from Lu Li...... (To be continued.) )
