Chapter 4: Impressions of Seker City (2)
"Come and see, come and buy, sturdy linen, cheap linen, a silver coin can buy a big bundle!" a child of about eleven or twelve years old kept shouting at the passers-by in his childish voice, he was the "seller", and usually the merchant who owned a fixed shop would hire several "sellers" to stand around the shop or in the most busy part of the street, and attract the attention of passers-by by constantly shouting. Of course, the reason why such underage children are hired is because it costs far less silver to hire them than adults.
Ryan smiled at Allendo and took a few steps towards the "seller". At this time, Ryan was no longer an ignorant teenager who had just walked out of his hometown, and after experiencing so many things, Ryan understood a lot, such as the simplest and most direct method he was going to use: Ryan took out a silver coin from his arms and shook it in front of the eyes of the "seller" child.
The childish clamor came to an abrupt halt as its owner saw the silver coin in Lane's hand.
"Tell me, how the Mercenary Guild goes, it's yours. Ryan smiled at him and spoke to him in a soft tone.
The eyes of the "seller" were immediately attracted by this silver coin, and the child stretched out his hands in disbelief, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, unable to believe that what he had just heard was true, knowing that he had stood here and shouted all day, and it was only a silver coin, and now he could get the silver coin that he had worked hard to get all day by answering a simple question, and the child began to doubt his gaze.
Ryan naturally understood the mind of the child in front of him, and with a flick of his thumb, he flicked the silver coin into the air, and the silver-white silver coin made a buzzing sound, drawing an arc in the air and flying towards the child.
The "seller" child immediately held it tightly with his fist, lest it run away the next moment, and then the child twisted his hand on his thigh, confirming with severe pain that he was not dreaming.
After doing this, the ecstatic child carefully described the location of the Mercenary Guild to Ryan in a trembling voice. In fact, the Syke City Mercenary Guild is near here, and you only need to cross two streets to see it. Ryan and Alendor followed the child's instructions and slowly walked towards the Mercenary Guild. They didn't see that in the corner not far away, two hateful-looking guys in the same style and color of clothing were watching the two of them.
Seeing Ryan and Allendo walking away, one of the two hateful faces said to his companion, who had a few scars on his face, "Do you see, the guy who pulled out the silver coin, I see that he seems to have a very bulging money bag in his arms." Judging by the fact that they don't care about the silver coins at all, it must be the rich man's child who stole the money and came out to fool around, you follow them, and I will go find the boss. ”
"But ......," replied another man with a scarred face, "are you sure? We don't see if it's a money bag or not, just in case ......."
"What are you afraid of!" said the short and fat man carelessly, "If you see it wrong, you will be beaten and thrown out." ”
"Okay, you go. Another man with a scarred face replied.
"Got it, be careful, don't get caught by them. The stocky guy said a few words and ran away.
The Mercenary Guild of Seker City is located in a tall building, it is made of huge solid stone, and on its exterior, there are signs of recent repairs everywhere, and even the huge wooden sign hanging outside the door can clearly recognize the pattern of a sword and a staff crossed together. Compared to the mercenary guild in Elfa City, which has been damaged in some places and is full of the vicissitudes of the world, the mercenary guild in Seke City is even more vibrant.
Ryan and Allendo slowly walked into the hall, where there was a lively scene in front of them, dozens of tables were placed horizontally, hundreds of mercenaries were sitting separately, and there were many adventurers shuttling between them, each busy with their own things. In the corner of the hall, there was a long row of mercenary task desks, and ten young and beautiful ladies dressed in uniform were nervously going through various procedures.
Ryan and Allendo's arrival didn't attract anyone's attention, perhaps because there were too many mercenaries coming in and out every day. The mercenaries in the hall are drinking and chatting, enjoying a rare peace, the mercenary guild is not only a place for task release and handover, but also a place for these mercenaries who are born and die to carnival and relax.
Ryan and Alendor sat down at an empty table, it was almost noon, and they planned to eat something to fill their stomachs.
A young maid with a large plate of food walked past Ryan, who greeted and ordered more food for himself and Alan, and the young maid said yes loudly, then walked over to a table full of people and placed the food on the table.
Unexpectedly, a man sitting at the table suddenly reached out and pinched the young maid's buttocks, causing the maid to scream.
"Haha......" The mercenaries sitting at the table let out a ** laugh, and the man who harassed the maid made a louder voice: "Little girl, 100 gold coins, come and accompany me tonight, isn't it better than you being tired and tired here?"
Although the young maid suffered a loss, she knew very well who she was teasing herself, and she couldn't afford to provoke her no matter what, so she didn't dare to say more, blushed, and ran away like a fly in the laughter of the group of mercenaries.
Ryan and Alendor also saw this scene, Elendor frowned, and wanted to get up to teach the group of troublemakers a lesson, Ryan gently grabbed him, and signaled Alendor to be calm with his eyes.
At this moment, a short and fat guy ran in panting, shouting as he ran, "Head, business is coming." ”
The eyes of the hall suddenly focused on this short and fat guy, and the flirtatious waitress just now, a man dressed exactly like this short and fat man, stood up with a large glass of wine, and scolded loudly: "You idiot, what are you yelling about?"
The short and fat guy turned his head and saw the man, he immediately shouted: "Head, quick, there is a business...... " Before he finished speaking, the short and fat man saw Ryan and Allendo sitting on the side, and the second half of his sentence was immediately swallowed hard.
