After the reception, Payne went to Uzi's shop. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hey, my friend, miss me?" Payne said, placing a bottle of spirits on Uzi's counter, "I know you dwarves only love this kind of wine. ”

Uzi was greeting the guests at this time, motioning for Payne to wait for a moment.

After he saw off the guests, he glanced at the wine bottle, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he got up and walked back, "You wait." ”

After a while, Uzi brought two wine glasses and said as he poured them, "I thought you would go to the Golden Port with the bounty hunters." ”

"I've been looking for them," Payne said, holding his glass, and the two of them touched, "but the Bounty Guild said they were gone." ”

"But they didn't actually leave," Uzi took a sip, enjoying the aftertaste, "It's the guild people who made a mistake, and Crane came to me for this, and he wants me to explain it to you." ”

"Just an explanation?"

"Of course not," Uzi laughed, "and he also gave me a commission in the hope that I can clear up the misunderstanding between you." ”

"Commission?"

"You don't have to worry about that, my friend. Uzi looked at the time, then closed the shop, "Every year when the spring solstice comes, I'm busy here, let's go, go to my lodgings and talk." ”

Behind the shop is Uzi's residence, a small three-story building that looks unremarkable on the surface, but the interior is quite lavishly decorated, and seems to be no less than the mansion of a nobleman.

The two sat in comfortable chairs and chatted while drinking, which was very comfortable.

After Uzi explained what had happened, Payne realized that he really couldn't blame Corion for this, not to mention that after such a long time, he didn't care about it for a long time, and he had gained a lot from this trip, which was the point.

"By the way, friend," said Payne, "I want you to help me build a crossbow, but not too big." ”

"Of course that's fine, it's my forte," Uzi shook the glass in his hand, "What else do you need besides this?"

"Tickets, tickets to the Magic Pattern. Payne laughed.

"I knew it was ready for you. Uzi took a piece of leather from his body and handed it to Payne, then said, "You can sleep here tonight." ”

"No," Payne shook his head, "it's not eleven o'clock yet, I can practice a little longer, you know, it's not a day like that's here." ”

"Well," said Uzi, "when are you going to have a crossbow?"

"The sooner the better, I want to get to the Golden Harbor sooner rather than later. ”

"Alright, come with me and see what style you need. Uzi said.

......

Coming out of Uzi, Payne returns to the backyard of the liaison office to prepare for training, and to his surprise, he sees a figure that appears to be Roy.

"Roy?" Payne shouted, somewhat uncertain.

"Hey, Payne. Roy put away the meteor hammer and greeted Payne.

"Did you surprise me a little here?" asked Payne, "Where's Connie?"

"She's gone," Roy's voice was a little muffled, "she's sold her house, and she doesn't know where she went." ”

"Really, how can this be?" Penn was a little happy when he heard Connie say goodbye.

"I know you don't like her. Roy said.

Payne frowned, "You suspect I forced her away?"

"No, I know you wouldn't do that," Roy sat down, looking up at the stars, "I thought she would leave me, she deserved a better life." ”

Payne was blinded, and he didn't even know how to persuade Roy.

"Actually, that's fine," Roy grinned, "at least I've tried to keep her by my side, so...... I don't have any regrets now. ”

Roy was able to think like this, but to Payne's surprise, he walked up to Roy's side, he patted the other party's shoulder, "Trust me, she will regret doing this sooner or later." ”

"It doesn't matter anymore, one betrayal is enough, the Giants never betray, and they will never allow betrayal by others," Roy looked at Payne, "How about we have a game?"

"Okay," Penn smiled, "that way you'll sleep better." ”

The next morning, when people saw Roy, his face seemed to be fat again. No one was surprised, though, because his face had been swollen for a while now.

Three days later, Payne and Roy boarded the galleon bound for the Golden Harbor amid the farewell of the crowd.

Johnny looked at Payne's departing sailboat and clenched his fists tightly.

Hawke looked like someone owed him eight hundred hangings, and his face was as ugly as it was.

And Barber was looking forward to it, he didn't know what kind of height this red-haired young man would stand at in the end, but he firmly believed that Payne would definitely become one of the few powerhouses in this kingdom, and his prestige would definitely surpass that of the Silver Light Knight Hervey.

None of the mercenary group came to say goodbye, and the fact that Payne was out of mercenary status made the mercenary group cadres extremely annoyed, and Colonel James Pige almost put him on the mercenary group's blacklist, but under the persuasion of everyone, the colonel finally dispelled this idea. However, Payne never wanted to be protected by the mercenary group again.

......

Golden Harbor is the second largest port in the Glow Kingdom, as well as the first largest.

It's a hub connecting the Kingdom of Dawn and Sunset, but it's not the only port terminal. The southern coastline stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, traversing the three major human kingdoms and other countries. There are dozens of port cities along this coastline, and Golden Harbor is only the largest of the dozen or so port cities in the Glow Kingdom.

As the ship slowly entered the dock, groups of coolies could be seen at work.

The spring solstice is the busiest three months in Golden Harbour. Ships such as grain, cloth, ore, and munitions were almost endless during this period, and this was also the time when coolies were cheapest.

When the summer solstice comes, the coolie's salary will increase several times, because the scorching heat in summer is by no means something that ordinary people can bear, let alone loading and unloading goods, even if you stand in the sun for even half an hour, you will be severely sunburned. Even long-term coolies can hardly hold on for long.

When Roy saw the busy figures of these people, he immediately sighed with emotion. He couldn't help but think that just a few months ago, he was one of them. In the years he was a coolie, he never had enough to eat, and in late autumn, he could only save up to twenty silver coins, which was enough to survive the three months of winter.

At the spring solstice, he will return here penniless, and then he will be tired again and again, being abused, and drinking at will.

Among these coolies, he quickly recognized many 'old acquaintances', but none of them were his friends, or even friendly to him.

But now, these people may only look up to themselves, Roy thought.
