Chapter 234: Constance City
After taking care of the jelly monsters, Kenan packed up the scattered flame crystals and left the area to continue his jungle adventures. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Two months later, after Kenan had killed six slimes, two goblins, goblins, three kobolds, three phase spiders, a thorntail lion, and a large number of beasts that stood in his way, he finally made his way out of the vast jungle.
Kenan stood on a hill at the edge of the jungle and looked at the town below, feeling full of emotion, finally seeing intelligent beings who could communicate.
Kennan walked briskly to the bottom of the hill and followed the pedestrians into the small border city.
The town isn't huge, but it's lively. The shopping street is full of all kinds of shops, and there are many pedestrians on the street, and the cries of various vendors are endless. Kennan walked slowly down the shopping street to the central square of the town.
According to the general layout of the city, the center of gravity of the town should be the ruling center of the town, and the place of ordinary activities and gatherings. Public executions of prisoners and announcements of major events will take place here.
At the same time, it is also the seat of the castle lord's mansion. Even if the Castle Lord's Mansion is not built here, a mansion is usually built here to deal with some of the ordinary daily affairs of the city. In addition, the headquarters of the town's patrol team is also usually set up here, which is also convenient for dealing with emergencies, arranging daily patrols, and so on.
When Kennan walked to the square in the center of the town, in addition to a mansion on the opposite side of the square, he saw three churches of different styles on both sides of the square.
The church on the left side of the square is built with splendid magnificence, and the entire church building is decorated with glass on the outside, and even the balustrade on the wall is painted with gold dust. Hanging directly above the sanctuary is a gold coin engraved with the left side of a woman's face.
The church on the right side of the square is architecturally different from the former. This sanctuary did not have any elaborate decorations, but instead carved countless intricate and exquisite runes on the walls, and smeared them with silver star sand, making the runes shine with silver, revealing a trace of mystery. The glow hanging above the sanctuary was a slowly rising cloud of red mist and seven blue-and-white stars surrounding it.
Finally, the sanctuary on the south side of the square is planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard, countless vines and plants crawl all over the exterior walls of the sanctuary, and the dense leaves cover the entire building tightly, like an elven tree house, but the holy light hanging outside the sanctuary is a unicorn carved with golden horns and blue eyes.
Kenan was a little surprised to see the three sanctuaries and the Radiance of different styles. Because he looked at these holy radiances with some familiarity, but some of them couldn't remember where they had seen them. Kennan stood there and thought for a moment before turning into a fork in the road, which usually seemed to be a fork in the road on both sides of the commercial street, where there would be many taverns, casinos and other places, which were the places where the caravan guards consumed. It is also the most well-informed place.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Kenan to find a tavern with a business sign, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
Because it is located in a slightly remote side street, the tavern is not very well lit, and the dark environment and old tables and chairs give this tavern a touch of quaint texture. If it is placed in Kennan's original world, this style can attract some people with strong petty bourgeois feelings to come and consume. However, if you put it in this world, it will only make people feel a little old and dilapidated.
Inside the tavern there were a few square tables, and a few drunks sat in the sparse space, most of them were idle people from the city and resting caravan guards, otherwise, no one would usually come to drink during the day.
Kennan's arrival naturally attracted the attention of the men, but they quickly shifted their gaze and each withdrew his gaze. Because at this time, Kenan was wearing an ordinary adventurer's costume, with a sharp long knife on his waist behind him, and there was a trace of blood on his body, and he looked like a powerful adventurer. Adventurers like this are generally not very good-tempered, and looking at them for too long may be seen as provocative. And then it sparked a fight.
No one wants to provoke these people. Because these adventurers are the most willing to fight bravely, they don't care about it, and after slashing you to death, they will immediately flee and run to other cities or other countries. In such an era when transportation and information are not very developed, such a perpetrator will not be caught red-handed if he is caught red-handed, so you will have to pay for your medical expenses out of pocket, which is really not worth it.
Of course, if it was a member of the nobility or a clergyman of the church who was cut that was another matter.
Ignoring the drunkards sitting around, Kennan sat down on a chair in front of the bar, pulled out two silver coins and threw them on the table, "Give me a drink." ā
The bartender skillfully threw the silver coin into the cash box, and then made a glass of blood-red wine with fancy tricks and handed it to Kenan, "Bloody polka, the strongest wine I have here, I hope you like it." ā
Kenan picked up his glass noncommittally and took a sip, a rich smell mixed with a hint of sweetness flowing down his throat and rolling into his stomach. Then it was as if there was a fire burning in the stomach.
Kenan drank all the wine in his glass as usual, then smacked his lips, "It's not bad, have another drink, and tell me about the city." With that, Kennan looked at the bartender.
The bartender looked at Kenan a little strangely, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Kennan's deep black eyes, and immediately fell into it. The wine in his hand was mechanically concocted, but he couldn't help but say in his mouth, "Constance City, one of the border cities of the Kingdom of Halles, close to the Frost Moon Forest, is rich in products, rich in animal furs, all kinds of plants, wood, and minerals. The predecessor was developed from the camp of Conse. It is now ruled by Duke Webster Christian. ā
"What about the main forces in the city?" Kenan asked, expressionless, taking a sip of the bartender's concocted drink.
"The largest force in the city is naturally the city defense army under the Duke, which is said to have two hundred knights. There were even three knight captains. Slightly worse are the three major churches in the city, namely the Church of Fortune of Vorking, the Goddess of Wealth, the Church of Magic Mystra, and the Church of Nature of Mericay, the Goddess of the Forest and Rangers. All churches are guarded by powerful magicians and knights. However, because they are not directly involved in the disputes in the city, they are considered second-rate forces, and the rest are some gangsters in the city, but they are more or less behind some nobles, who are the tools used by the nobles to control the city of Cons, so they can barely be regarded as a branch of the first type of forces......"
