Chapter 131: Finn City
Chapter 131: The City of Finn
In the southernmost part of the kingdom of Talir, in the desolate steppes, there is a city called Finn City. Despite its name, there are actually only a few stones that serve as the approximate boundary, which are all fragments of the ancient city walls. It would be more accurate to call it an 'area' rather than a city.
The Aukus Mountains border the grasslands, so it's not uncommon to see orcs in Finn. When the two races have something in common, there will always be some fusion - some humans and orcs combine to give birth to half-orcs. They are not as distinct from humans as purebred orcs, but they have protruding jaws and baring teeth that are not easily recognized.
The orcs could neither join the orc tribe of Aukus, nor did they have a country of their own, so they roamed the savannah. Cities like Finn City are places where they tend to gather, so although this is human territory, it is still not uncommon to see strong figures with rough and green skin.
At this time, there were two half-orcs, walking in the city of Finn, and from time to time they would remove some of the charred walls to see if there were any leftovers inside.
The buildings in the city were generally built on ancient ruins, and a fire burned down most of the city, and although many people escaped, the houses were burned to ashes, leaving only the ancient rocks of the city, which have not changed much even after countless years.
"Dane, can you really find anything of value here?" one of the orcs asked, wry, pulling the rubble on the ground.
"Of course, your brain has always been bright, as long as you listen to me, it must be right. The other orc said angrily, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he moved away a stone with all his might. "Look, what is this!"
A basement baffle was buried just under the rubble, and although a corner was cracked, it was clear that there were not many signs of charring.
"Haha, this place hasn't been burned, maybe there's something valuable in it that hasn't been taken away!" Dane rubbed his hands excitedly, grabbed the iron ring on the baffle, and pulled it violently but didn't pull it open. "Hey, come and help!
"Okay!" Eamon hurriedly ran over the gravel and hugged Dane's waist, but just as the two of them were about to exert their strength, Eamon suddenly loosened his hand, and his face was a little hesitant. "But we're stealing, in case there's someone inside. ”
"You idiot!, how could anyone be at this time!" Dane said with a glaring eye and hatred. "Besides, even if there is someone, the two of us can't kill him! Could it be that there are still a few swordsmen squatting here?"
"Uh," Aemon said, scratching his head. "You're right, Ammon listens to you!"
"Good!" Dane gripped tightly. "Let's talk about it first, I'll shout one, two, three, let's work together!"
"One!" said Dane, who stopped talking nonsense with Emon, and roared angrily.
"Two" Aemonn swallowed.
Rumble!!!
A huge door suddenly crashed out of the ground! The orc brothers were still trying to pull the baffle open, but they were knocked up on the spot, and they fell on their stomachs.
Aemon struggled to his feet and complained. "Alas, Dane, you have so much strength!" he rubbed his waist in a daze.
But I saw a hideous bone gate suddenly burst out of the ground! Although half of it was still buried in the ground, the part of the light that exposed the ground was three or four times higher than its own -- seven or eight meters! At this time, an evil red light was emanating from the door, and many people jumped out of it!
"I just tried it with my fighting spirit, I didn't expect such a big reaction!" A middle-aged swordsman in soldier's leather armor chuckled embarrassedly, but he hurriedly changed the subject and took care of the people behind him. "Be careful, the ground here is unstable. ”
One swordsman after another walked out of the door, Dane's eyes widened at this point, and he only felt that each one of them brought him a terrible pressure, as if anyone could easily kill him
Oh my God, these people can't all be second- and third-order swordsmen!
The two brothers were also noticed by the swordsmen, locked by a terrible qi machine, and Dane and Eamon couldn't help but tremble with fear, and they didn't dare to run away, so they could only lie there stiffly. Aemon turned his head in horror and glanced at Dane. "Dane, let's run"
More and more people came out, and dozens of people came out before they finally stopped, and Dane now wanted to smoke his crow's mouth with all his might! But being watched by those swordsmen, he didn't dare to move, and pulled Emmon to his side at once, and said in a trembling voice. "Ah, my lords, we are just passing by, and we don't really want to steal your basement!
"Well, what basement?" Milor had just walked out and was stunned when he saw Dane trembling with fear. "Oh, that's right! You two come over here and tell me where this is?"
Morey was the last to come out of the door, and his eyes lit up with curiosity when he saw the two orcs, but he didn't intervene when he saw that Milor was asking them two questions.
After a few minutes, everyone finally knew where the door was connected.
"This is Funn City!" the veteran couldn't help but look a little ugly. "How long will it take to get back to Hanyue City from here? We must go back to Hanyue City immediately and report this matter to the City Lord!"
"Don't worry, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first, uh, no, if you want to go to the local mercenary union, borrow a magic flying pigeon. Milor said.
From the Dane brothers, everyone finally got some understanding of the current situation in Finn City.
A fire a few days ago spread to most of the city, and the city lord's mansion here was already useless, and it disappeared into the flames without saying a word. Now many of the people in the city have left temporarily, and the rest of the people have built some temporary buildings in the north of the city, and the mercenary union is originally in the north of the city, but it has not been damaged much in the fire, and it can still continue to work at this time. It seems that if you want to notify Hanyue City, you have to go to the Mercenary Guild first, after all, this place nominally belongs to Talir, and there is a token certificate of Hanyue City on Roman's body, and the Mercenary Guild should be able to provide some emergency services.
It's better to come out of that weird place easily, and of course everyone's emotions are a little uncontrollable, some shouting excitedly, and some crying loudly. They thought that everyone was going to die at the hands of the undead, but now they could return to the beautiful world, and the soldiers' mood certainly didn't need to be mentioned. Although the veteran is very steady, even he himself is inevitably excited at this time, let alone those who are young. So I had to rest in place for a while, and waited for everyone's emotions to calm down before walking to the north of the city.
The city of Finn was completely reduced to a charred ruin, and no living people were seen along the way, which made people a little shocked by the power of the fire, no wonder there were so many rumors. And when they came to the north of the city, everyone found that there were only such places that had not been spread by the fire.
The Mercenary Guild is almost located near the ruins of the North Wall!
Spread here, that is to say, except for the northernmost one with a radius of a few hundred meters, almost the entire city was burned clean! There was a conspicuous and clear dividing line outside the Mercenary Guild, and it was obvious that many magicians had been united to form something similar to defensive magic, and they were able to barely withstand the fire. Although I don't know how much it cost me, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid that the mercenary union would have been wiped out long ago.
But at this time, even here is just as deserted, and there are only a few sporadic tasks on the union's magic task board.
Morey looked around curiously along the way, thinking that the so-called temporary buildings in the north of the city were here, but now he realized that they were all built outside the north city, and the buildings that were still in the city at this time could be said to be actually no other except for the mercenary union.
After seeing the token of Hanyue City, the girl of the Mercenary Guild agreed very happily. The old soldier and the city lord had been communicating for a long time, and even if they were separated by several layers of walls, their excited roars could be faintly heard, and the spitting stars were about to make holes in the walls.
Milor, who also seemed to have contacted the family through a wonderful magic, was sighing at the sight of Morey wandering around idle, catching his eye. "Boent, where are you going next, returning to Hanyue City with us?"
Morey thought about it for a moment and shook his head. "No, this is where I originally belonged, and although I don't have anything I need right now, I've finally made a trip, so let's have fun. ”
Just kidding, how dare the labor and management go by themselves, we still have six times the liquidated damages! At least we have to wait until Aaron and the others get here and hand in the task.
It stands to reason that this kind of employer arrives first, and it is very difficult for mercenaries to be a few cities away, and it is rare for mercenary unions to see this situation, but it just happened so miraculously, there is no way!
Although the reason is explained, some formalities can be solved. However, Aaron, the head of the regiment, is not dead, although it is not impossible to complete this procedure in his absence, but the degree of trouble is too amazing, it is estimated that it will not be able to be done in half a month, so it is better to wait for him to come over in person.
Although it is not easy to go back, if you come from Hanyue City, you can take advantage of the Lie River to go downstream, as long as you get a sturdy and good boat, it will be very fast.
The veteran was finally done, and Morey checked the gold coins in his pocket, and he was also ruthless to borrow a magic flying pigeon, after all, there were still some things to ask.
This is actually a special kind of magic array, which can be used to leave a message, and the magic guild over there will naturally go to someone to receive it, but the cost is a little
"Aaron, I've arrived at Vine City. Bohr and Xiaobai are both here with me, you can hand in the task immediately, by the way" Morey thought for a moment, and suddenly said. "If you look for a man named Richie in Hanyue City, say that Pointe is looking for him. If he wanted to, he would have brought it with him, I remember his family living in"
After explaining these things, Morey sent fifty gold coins in distress, and walked out of the union, just as he saw Milor waiting there.
I have long felt that the previous silver mirror contract is not a simple thing.
It seemed that Milor had something to say, and Morey couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "What else do you have to do to decide to sell me the formula?"
"Well, it's not that, you can't afford it anyway even if I want to" Milor hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dryly twice when he saw Morey roll his eyes. "Forget it, I've been busy with too many things lately, let's talk about this later! ”
"Feiling?" Morey asked in confusion.
"Well, you don't have a flying feather?" asked Milor in surprise, but after thinking about it, she shook her head slightly. "Forget it, I have one that I don't need, so I'll give it to you!"
Morey was surprised to take it, and found that it was a magical kraft paper with a silver feather strung in the upper left corner.
