The rain finally stopped, and Ronald braved the heavy rain to walk all night, and as the night deepened, the field could be said to be pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, there were no wild beasts nearby, so Ronald kept walking in the rain, following a path formed by pedestrians and horses for an unknown number of years.

When it was slightly dark, Ronald finally saw a town wall made entirely of stone!

The town is completely in the style of the medieval period in the movies of the previous life.

The walls are built along the river, coiled in irregular shapes, made of stone throughout, about 5 meters high, and are covered by armoured soldiers' hands, holding spears or flags.

Ronald braved the heavy rain and walked all night, but his expression was not tired at all, but full of energy and excitement.

Walking to the city gate, a total of six soldiers stood in two rows, holding spears about 2 meters long in their hands, with two-handed swords at their waists, half of their bodies covered in chain mail, and a badge of a soaring eagle on their chests.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

A soldier with a beard raised his hand to stop Ronald and asked.

"I'm from the hunting team, just returned from the Misty Forest. Ronald stood there and said with a calm expression.

"Hunting party?" the soldier glanced at Ronald, especially the two-handed sword hanging from his back, and his face showed a hint of surprise: "You have to pay tolls to enter the city." ”

"A silver coin!" said the soldier.

Ronald was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the heavily armed soldiers, took a silver coin from his clothes and threw it over.

"Go in, don't bother during this time, Gregory is not stable during this time. The soldier glanced at the fineness of the silver coin and nodded in satisfaction.

Without saying a word, Ronald walked in.

When Ronald entered the city, the soldier next to him asked in a low voice, "Captain, Gregory only has those hunting teams, why don't I remember such a person?"

"You really don't remember?" the bearded soldier asked rhetorically with a nonchalant tone, glancing at him.

"I really don't remember, the two-handed sword on his back is so conspicuous, if I have seen it, I must have an impression. ”

"I don't remember, this person wasn't from the hunting party at all, and I don't know where he came from. The bearded soldier reached out and snatched the silver coin and said, "If I hadn't known that he wasn't from the hunting party, would I have asked him for a silver coin for the entrance tax?"

"That's five times the amount of the city tax!" Beard tossed the silver coin in his hand and said proudly, "I'm having a treat tonight, let's go have two drinks...... As for what this guy does, I don't care, anyway, if something happens, the garrison in the city will deal with it, so don't make trouble for ourselves as those of us who watch the gate. ”

"Captain Gao Ming!"

The soldier next to him gave a thumbs up and said admiringly.

Ronald, unaware that he had been blackmailed by an ordinary soldier guarding the gate, was walking through the streets of Gregory.

Gregory is a small town on the southern border of the Duchy of Lomons, due to its geographical proximity to the Misty Forest, but in general it is still a small town in the middle of nowhere, and the prosperity is not comparable to that of the towns in the core hinterland of the kingdom.

Because it is closest to the Misty Forest, which is famous for its beasts and monsters, the various chambers of commerce involved in the fur business on the continent have separate stations in Gregory.

On weekdays, the convoys of various chambers of commerce come and go, especially in the late spring and early winter of each year, which is the prime time for the chambers of commerce to buy fur on a large scale.

And what is the most important need for the Chamber of Commerce fleet to transport goods?

Not a little money, not a sturdy and reliable carriage, but ...... Mercenary!

These chambers of commerce will transport a large amount of goods every time they come and go, and along the way, they will pass through many mountains and rivers, and there are many thieves and robbers along the way.

Without reliable mercenaries to protect the caravan, it is believed that no caravan can safely transport the goods back to its own chamber of commerce.

Therefore, Gregorine has a large number of mercenaries and mercenary groups all year round.

And because of this characteristic, Gregory is nicknamed the city of mercenaries.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and Ronald walked on the street, and he had already seen many strong men wearing various armor and weapons appearing on the street.

Taverns, inns, brothels...... These are all places where these people stay for the night.

Watching these people either be complacent, or dazed, or even come out of the houses with a hangover and unawakened body, Ronald had the real feeling of coming to another world for the first time.

Gregory's floor is paved with blue-striped stone, and the road is quite spacious, but the houses on both sides are not strictly distributed, and the eaves of many houses are almost in the middle of the road, which also makes the road look like a different kind of life.

After crossing a few streets, Ronald saw a hotel, the hotel has three floors, covers a large area, the door is very clean, and there is a small guy carrying a basin of water to the bluestone road at the door with his hand.

Directly opposite the inn, a blacksmith shop had already opened its doors, and the crisp sound of a hammer clinking could be heard from the open door.

"It's interesting to have a hotel and a blacksmith shop as neighbors...... The blacksmith shop works so early every day, how can the guests of the inn rest?" Ronald looked at this scene with a strange expression.

But the young man who was sprinkling water at the door of the inn seemed to be accustomed to all this, and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, as if everything was taken for granted.

Out of some unspeakable idea, as if he wanted to experience life in another world, Ronald raised his steps and walked towards the hotel.

The space in the hotel was quite large, and there were seven or eight log tables and more than twenty chairs in the hall, but no one was sitting there at this time.

Behind the counter, a burly old man with a beer belly was drowsy with his chin propped up on his arm.

Ronald found that the people in this world seemed to be quite strong, except for some children and teenagers, most of the adults had a strong physique, and it was rare to see those men with thin physiques.

"Help me open a room. Ronald walked over to the counter and reached out and tapped the countertop twice.

"What room do you want?" said the old man, who looked at Ronald with sleepy eyes, yawning.

"Open a good one. ”

"Superior room, ten copper coins a day, how long do you want to drive?"

Ronald directly took out a silver coin and put it on the counter: "How long is this enough?"

"One silver coin, you can live in a first-class room for ten days, are you sure you want to stay for so long?" the old man looked at the silver coin, and finally lifted a little spirit.

"Then stay for ten days. Ronald nodded.

Anyway, Ronald has just come to this world and still doesn't know anything about many things, so it is better to rest in a town for a few more days, and he can also take the opportunity to learn more about the knowledge he needs.

"If you stay for ten days, count your nine copper coins a day, and the remaining ten copper coins can be converted into a meal. The old man picked up the silver coin and blew it, then put it to his ear and listened.

It seemed that the ingredients of the silver coin were not bad, and the old man nodded with satisfaction: "Stinky boy, hurry up and take the guests to the room to rest, and then prepare a little food to send in." The old man said to the young man who was cleaning at the door.

"This way, please. ”

The little guy at the door, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, ran over quickly, smiled shyly, and stood next to Ronald and bowed slightly, with a respectful attitude.

Although Ronald was already soaked and looked very embarrassed after a night of heavy rain last night, the chain mail on his body and the big sword hanging on his back are a good sign.

Chainmail, greatsword...... The person who can carry such a weapon with him is either an officer of the army or a mercenary.

Ronald's outfit has nothing to do with the officer, it is obviously a mercenary.

However, for ordinary people, mercenaries are more difficult to serve than officers.

Because many of the officers have aristocratic backgrounds, most of them pay great attention to etiquette, even if civilians have survived in the army, they also have a certain degree of self-discipline under the constraints of military discipline. The mercenaries are different, they are all swordsman-licking existences, living today and dying tomorrow, it is really normal.

Therefore, most of the mercenaries are not very good-tempered, ordinary people are not willing to offend them easily, even if they are not so horrible to be killed, but there is no place to reason if they are beaten.

Ascending the wooden staircase to the second floor, Ronald was led by the young boy to a room around the corner of the hallway.

The room is quite spacious, with a double bed, a long wooden table, two chairs, and a wardrobe.

The furniture is not of the highest quality, but it is clean, the windows are open and ventilated, and there is no smell in the room.

I walked in and looked at it, the sheets were white, clean, and neatly laid, although it rained all night last night, but the sheets showed no traces of dampness.

Standing at the window, there was a clanging sound of iron outside...... This room is directly opposite the blacksmith's shop across the road.

"Old Jack was striking iron all day, and it was indeed a bit noisy, but it was much better to close the windows, and the soundproofing of this room was good. The boy explained with some restraint.

Ronald waved his hand: "It's okay, just this one." ”

"Excuse me, would you like me to prepare some breakfast for you?"

"What's there?"

"Breakfast with bisque and bread, yes, some horns. ”

The boy is still very reserved.

"Give me some, but it's hot. Ronald turned around, took off the chain mail on his body, and threw it on the chair next to him: "Go and prepare me a clean set of clothes, I don't want to wear them, just go out and buy me a new one." ”

took out a silver coin and threw it directly to the young man: "If you have more, you can keep it." ”

"Understood, don't worry, I'll go shopping for clothes after I've prepared breakfast for you. The young man took the silver coin and had a look of surprise on his face: "Thank you for your generosity!"
