As a mage who had risen from the lower echelons of society through unremitting efforts, Akran was clearly not the kind of ivory tower man who did not eat the fireworks of the world, and his familiarity with Farrell had been of great help to Leon.

For only a few gold coins, the mage rented a house near the dock that could accommodate the camel caravan, and many families around the dock made a living from it, making it very convenient for both accommodation and dining.

After settling the rock hammer and the others, he took Leon to find a boat owner at the dock and negotiate the crossing of the river tomorrow.

In the end, the mage, disguised as a middle-aged man, entered the city of Farrell with Leon.

This was the first time Leon had come to a big city on the Glorious Continent.

Behind the tall walls, the rows of buildings dominate all the eyes, and this city in the west-central part of the continent is said to be thousands of years old, and the sculptures that dot the streets tell the story of the vicissitudes of life.

With high rooftops like forests and ancient bell towers bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Farrell is ushering in a new long night.

The street, which is large enough to accommodate four or five horse-drawn carriages, is paved with thick stone slabs, which is quite clean and tidy, and there are countless shops, hotels, restaurants and bars on both sides of the road.

It was getting darker and colder, but there were only a lot more pedestrians on the streets.

Fierce and brutal mercenary adventurers, funny wandering entertainers, well-mannered magicians, aristocrats who hug each other... Many of the women wore long, open-breasted dresses with scarves around their necks, and their laughter and seductive eyes were undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sights in the city.

Leon had already changed his cloak, and a blue-gray suit completely outlined his burly and muscular body, which was in stark contrast to the personable Aklan.

Akram is a follower of Leon, but when the two walk together, others will only think of Leon as Akran Follower - it is normal for barbarian warriors to protect mages with them.

The women of this city were quite bold, and along the way, Leon received several ambiguous autumn waves, and even a carriage threw a brocade from the window on his body when he passed by!

"If you like, wait a minute and take it to the address written on it, you won't be lonely at night. Akran laughed, "Many noblewomen are very fond of barbarians, and you are much more handsome than ordinary barbarians!"

Damn! Lao Tzu is not a midnight cowherd! Leon glanced at the mage with disdain, and only then did the ghost know that the woman with Jinpa written on her lipstick was beautiful or ugly, maybe it was still a public carriage!

He threw the Jinpa in the gutter by the side of the road.

"Ahem! just kidding," the mage coughed dryly, "the gates are closed at night and we have to get everything done before then." ”

Leon knew that there was also a standard measure of time in this world, and in ancient times, people used hourglasses to keep time, and later with the rise of magical civilization, clockwork clocks and magic clocks that could accurately keep time appeared.

It's just that whether it's a clockwork clock or a magic clock, the price is extremely expensive, not something ordinary civilians can afford, Leon saw a magic pocket watch that automatically runs in a shop in Blackstone Town, and the price is 1,000 gold coins!

Bell! bell...

As if echoing Akram's words, a low bell rang from afar, a total of six times.

It's six o'clock! It means that they still have three sandy hours to stay in Farrell City, Leon nodded, and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The two of them found a nearby restaurant and hurriedly settled dinner, and then Akran carried the money bag that Leon had given him, and went in and out of several shops on the busy street.

It didn't take long for Leon to have a heavy bag in his hand, full of loot purchased by Aklan.

After buying their things, the two took a rental carriage to the mercenary union.

The Mercenary Guild is a unique organization of the Terrans, which was originally established for more than a thousand years, and later infiltrated other races, and its power is quite large.

The surname of the mercenary union is very complicated, it is equivalent to the intermediary between the mercenary and the employer, but it is also responsible for supervising thousands of mainland mercenaries, and a regular mercenary group or mercenary team cannot be recognized by the employer without the certification of the trade union.

Only mercenaries with clean backgrounds, reliable status, and good reputation can accept commissions from the union, and there are different punishments for failing missions or betraying their duties, so mercenaries are very trustworthy and abide by the rules, which is completely different from the mixed adventurers.

The mercenary union of Farrell City is near the main square in the center of the city, which is the golden area of Farrell City, and according to Aklan, those who can own a four- or five-story house here are either nobles or wealthy people worth more than hundreds of thousands.

The mercenary guild occupies a row of buildings on the side of the bustling street, at least ten times the façade of ordinary shops, and this grand luxury makes Leon think that he has entered the office hall of some monopoly enterprises in the world.

Huge crystal lamps hang from the painted dome, illuminating the hall large enough to hold thousands of people, and the smooth moire stone floor clearly reflects the figures.

There are no ordinary people who come in and out of here, warriors, samurai, mages, nobles, merchants... On the one hand, the task is handed over, and on the other hand, the task is delegated, and the two sides are clearly separated and do not interfere with each other, suddenly like two worlds.

Leon and Akram are on the side of the entrusted mission, and not only are there fewer people on this side, but the service they receive is also very different.

In most places, hierarchies existed, and Akram entered the hall and headed straight for the stairs.

He showed a small silver medal to one of the attendants standing by the stairs, and was respectfully greeted on the second floor.

"I'm a Silver Star client of the Mercenary Guild, and I'm eligible to go up to the second tier to post quests, and if it's a gold star, I can go up to the third tier...", Akran explained to Leon, "Each tier has different treatments and priorities. ”

The second floor is a small room specially separated, both the decoration and furnishings are quite luxurious, and there are beautiful maids to send fragrant milk tea and snacks, and the service is extremely thoughtful.

"What missions have you posted here?" asked Leon, with some curiosity.

Akran took a sip of milk tea and explained: "We mages need a lot of materials to learn magic, although most of the things can be purchased in the mage union, but some of the materials are very gunnery, I am only a third-level magician, and the purchase priority level is too low, so I can't compete with those senior mages!"

"That's why I often come here to send out tasks to buy magic materials, although the price is a little higher, but you can always buy them, and most of the hard-earned money over the years has been thrown here, so after a few years, it has been upgraded to the Silver Star level. ”

I see!Leon understood, it sounded like the mercenary guild was quite interesting.

While the two were drinking tea and chatting, a thin middle-aged man walked in.

He bowed respectfully to Akrand, "Distinguished guest, what mission do you need to post?"

"I need a good guide to lead my caravan to the southwestern province of the Bimon Kingdom, Tomund, and how much will I pay if I bring it to complete the mission?" Akram asked bluntly, "Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock at Pier 5!"

The middle-aged man sat down at the small desk next to him, opened a small scroll, picked up the quill pen placed on the table and wrote a few lines, apparently recording the content of the task.

"Ask for a good guide, the task is to lead the caravan to Tomond City, the danger level is intermediate...", he stopped and said: "Sir, the minimum reward is thirty gold coins, and the best reward is fifty gold coins, since your task is more urgent, you need to add an additional five gold coins." ”

"According to the rules, our union charges a fee of ten gold coins and a security deposit. ”

Akran didn't say a word, took out his money bag and counted sixty-five gold coins and put them on the table: "I will pay the best reward, so that the other party must be on time, we don't have time to wait!"

"Please rest assured..."The middle-aged man stood up and saluted again.

Asking a guide to add up to sixty-five gold coins is really not a low price! Leon thought to himself, he didn't feel sorry for this money, and believed that it was expensive.

The mission was issued, and Akram did not linger any longer, leaving with Leon.

As he descended the stairs, Leon couldn't help but ask, "The danger level is intermediate, is there still danger on the way to Tomond City?"

"Yes," Akram replied with a nod, "We'll talk about this matter later, it's not convenient to talk about it here." ”

As they spoke, the two walked down the stairs and down the hall until they reached the gate, where they passed by a group of people who had just entered.

There were six of them, and at the front of them was a long-faced, lean and skinny man who suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Leon and Akram.

Leon and Akram were walking out of the mercenary union, so he only saw their backs.

The long-faced man's gaze fell on Akrand's body, a look of surprise on his face, and he pressed his waist pocket with one hand.

"Jason, what's wrong?" asked one of his companions, puzzled.

The long-faced man's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and he whispered: "There is prey! Let's not hand in the task first, let's go with me to have a look!"

The others were obviously looking ahead, and nodded in agreement.

On this side, Leon and Akram returned to the street.

Since it was still early, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back, and walked around the central square to enjoy the night style of this bustling city.

But it doesn't matter if you turn around, something unexpected happens!
