Chapter 14 Escort Herb Dealers
The next day, before going to the mercenary bar, Mo He went to the market in Lying Town with Wren and bought a linen cloak for Wren to cover the overly dazzling armor on Wren's body. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Next, since Wren's weapons have been landed in advance, the next step is to think about how to help Wren return to the Duchy of Stagnith. First of all, determine which direction the Duchy of Stennis should go.
Mo He had a worn-out map of the area on his body, which he bought a long time ago and was already damaged. This is a map of the area where the town is located, with the names and locations of all the towns in the area, as well as the locations of some special locations and all official roads.
Through this map, you can learn that the area where you are located is called Iron Man Ridge, which is mainly composed of mountains, lakes, swamps, and terrain. This town is called Bell Town, and it is not clear where this area is located in the Rongen Empire. He had never looked at the world map of this world, and he didn't even know what the national map of the Rongen Empire looked like.
He had studied the map of the Junne Empire before the Wren War, and had studied this area during his mission, knowing that it was southwest of the Duchy of Stannis. But this alone was not enough to return to the Duchy of Sstanis. Without a more detailed map, it's easy to get lost walking around the intricate terrain. And I don't know which towns and which danger areas on the road ahead, so it would be very unsafe to act rashly.
Therefore, it was imperative to obtain a national map of the Wing En Empire. But this kind of thing is expensive, and people don't have much demand for big pictures in small places, so except for some nobles or merchants who may have collections at home, ordinary shops will not consider buying and selling them at all. The small places sell low-cost regional maps, which are not only easy to make, but also easy to carry, and such affordable and convenient maps are what most mercenaries and adventurers like to use. And if you want to buy a large map such as a national map, it is only possible to find it in some big cities, which is understood by Wren, who is a nobleman.
If you are looking for a big city, the closest city to Bell Town is White Rock Castle, which was originally a military fortress and has gradually developed into a large city around it. These big cities all have city taxes, and Mo He and Shaanna have never been to any of them, because they can't afford the entrance tax that is too expensive for them, so they have to go back and forth in small towns like Bell Town, taking on simple tasks to make ends meet.
Mo He, Wren, and Sha Anna discussed and decided to go to White Rock City together, where they might be able to find a map of the Rong En Empire. And now that winter is coming, it's time to prepare for winter. Jon and Shaanna once spent a winter together in the wilderness, and those days were not easy. It's better to stay near these parts of town, and many problems can be solved.
I checked the mission wall of the mercenary bar.,It's all escort mission.,It seems that there have been a lot of chaos and bandits recently.,It's causing panic everywhere.ć These escort missions are relatively well-paid, and they are not easy jobs, which are not only dangerous, but also demanding, and most of the destinations are not the nearest White Rock City. After a closer look, a mission to escort the medicinal herb merchant to the White Stone Fort attracted Mo He and Wren.
Mission: Escort the Herb Merchant. Requirements: 2~3 mercenary groups with good reputation. Reward: 3 credits. Mission: Safely escort the Herb Merchant and one of his wagons to White Rock City. P.S. Not responsible for eating and drinking on the road.
It would be quite appropriate to see that it might be discussed, and Shaanna could sit in the carriage, so that the escort would be more convenient. After taking down the task, remarking the task at the bar beauty, and asking for the address of the person who posted the task, Mo He, Rennes, and Sha Anna went to find the medicinal herb merchant together.
The herb merchant lives in an inn in the town, and there are only three inns in the town, so it is easy to find him. This merchant's clothes are not luxurious, ordinary cloth clothes, no special decorations, short stature and slightly chubby, short hair, thick eyebrows and short beard, collapsed nose, small blue eyes. Its appearance is not good, it seems that it should be just an ordinary small trader, and the carriage to be escorted is also used by ordinary farmers to transport grain, which contains the medicinal materials purchased back, and the overall escort task is not too dangerous, and the thieves should not have the idea of fighting these medicinal materials.
Mo He expressed his intention to the businessman who claimed to be Mr. Hoofdent, and after checking the credit certificate that Mo He had brought out, he hesitated. Then he inspected the equipment on Mo He and Wren, this time Wren deliberately let the linen cloak leak out of his armor, such a fully armed swordsman, plus a spear warrior with a good weapon, and the confidence and energetic momentum they showed, they were fully capable of this escort task.
However, Mr. Hofdent hesitated, and he noticed a little girl of about six years old, who was with them, and was bound to be distracted by the escort with a child by his side. However, if he refuses this team, he doesn't know when a team will pick it up, and besides, he is not satisfied with the team that has come before, the equipment is either not neat, or he looks like a child, he is not at ease to hand over his goods and life to these teams.
"For 2 silver, you can take this quest. Mr. Hovdent blinked his little eyes and decided to give the mercenary group a try.
"No, thank you, sir. I only take on escort missions with 3 silver rewards. Mo He gave his own reply.
"No, no, no. You have a small child, he will affect the whole mission. 2 silver coins, I can only compromise to this. Mr. Hofdent felt that he had made it clear, and he stared at Mo He earnestly.
"We're sorry! We can't accept such conditions. Mo He lowered his head slightly and approached Mr. Hovdent, and whispered, "By the way, there is an important piece of information that you don't know, this little girl is our white-clothed priest. ā
"What?, the white-clothed priest?" Hofdent opened his small eyes and opened his mouth in an O-shape, although he felt that this was very impossible, but there was no deception and ridicule on Mo He's face, and he thought that there was always a little bit of a following.
"Shaanna! Mo He beckoned Shaanna over, then stroked her blonde-haired little brain and said, "Show this gentleman your healing magic." Just a little bit of it, not too noticeable. ā
"Uh-huh, okay, Uncle Mo He!" the little girl nodded, stretched out a small white hand from the linen sleeve, and suddenly, the white light lit up slightly on the palm of the hand, and then slowly disappeared. This is enough to prove that the little girl can perform white magic, whether she is really a white priest or not, anyone who can perform magic is called a magician, and all magicians in this continent naturally have a nobler identity than ordinary people, so ordinary people have to call them adults.
Hofdent understood why two men who didn't look weak would take such a little girl, a white-clothed sacrifice with healing powers, but all mercenary groups couldn't ask for it for thousands of dollars. It seems that he underestimated this little girl, no, he should have underestimated this magician and these two mercenaries.
"Okay! You have fulfilled the conditions of my mission, and I am willing to let you serve as my escort for the time being. Hovdent spoke out his decision.
"Yes! Mr. Hoofdent. We will also be happy to take on your assignment. When will we leave?" Mo He was very happy that the mission had gone smoothly.
"Don't worry, I'm going to buy another medicinal herb today. Tomorrow morning after breakfast, come to me, and we will leave at noon. Hofdent said.
"Yes! Mr. Hoofdent. If there's nothing else we need to pay attention to, we'll go back and get ready. Mo He said.
"Good. Go ahead and get busy. I'll have to hurry up and buy medicinal herbs. Hofdent said.
Mo He then shook hands with Hofdent and left with Wren and Shaanna.
They were going to prepare something to eat on the road, and after buying a linen cloak for Wren, the treasury of the Little Chrysanthemum Mercenary Group bottomed out in an instant, and it seemed that they were going to continue to eat mush.
