Vala, also known as the City of Mercenaries, is located in the south-southwest of the central continent of Navia, at the junction of the tripartite forces of Bledsoe, Garnt and the Holy See.

The founder of the Free City was the famous mercenary king - Paul Atkins, who was a maverick in his time, and he did not like the old rules of the aristocratic family, and he longed for all kinds of new things and adventures.

Then, in his legendary adventures, he befriended many foreign humans and even aliens, and Paul formed a deep friendship with them. It was with their help that Paul was able to step by step towards the path of the mercenary king.

After being crowned king, Paul was determined to create a free and autonomous city without discrimination, and with the help of the mercenary group he founded, "Unbounded", and friends of all races, Vala rose from the ground. Because of Paul's saga and the free and fair system, it has been a haven for mercenaries from the very beginning. And because they are not subject to any unfair discrimination and control, all kinds of other races can be found in Vala who share the same values and principles.

If there is one place in Navia where you can best realize your dreams and aspirations, it must be in the city of blood and yearning without restraints.

- Free City

Although Vala does not have a traditional king or class, and at most has the concept of a city lord, his management is definitely considered to be the top in Navia. The lord of Vala has always been the head of the first mercenary group in the world, and at the same time, the mercenary group is also responsible for the daily management, garrison, and collection of various taxes and fees in Vala. Therefore, for the mercenary group, the success of the first mercenary group to settle in Walla is not only an affirmation of the strength of its own mercenary group, but also an increase in prestige, and it can also increase the capital turnover of the mercenary group through taxation and further develop and expand its own power.

The so-called First Mercenary Regiment not only needs to review the various ratings of the Mercenary Guild, such as the completion rate of the task, the difficulty of the task, the size of the mercenary group, the strength of the backbone, etc., in addition, if there are other mercenary group leaders ranked 2 to 5 who want to challenge them, the leader of the first mercenary group must face it, otherwise it will be regarded as a failure.

This rule has also been questioned before, believing that the qualified mercenary group only needs the battle of the commander to decide in the end, and it lacks the specific consideration of the comprehensive quality of the mercenary group, which is inevitably a little ill-considered.

However, the mercenary union at that time only threw out this sentence: "This is the rule set by the mercenary king Paul back then-first, I don't want to see mercenary groups fighting for the position of city lord in the future, and the mercenaries should unite instead of killing each other." Second, as a mercenary, the leader's personal charm is greater than everything to some extent, in the mercenary group, an excellent leader can often lead his members to create miracles, because mercenaries are people who yearn for freedom and are full of feelings!"

Since then, no one has questioned this system, and the mercenaries often use this statement to flaunt themselves.

At present, the name of the first mercenary group in Navia is called the Holy Demon, and the leader of the group is Alai Lancelot. The name of the Holy Demon is taken from Paul Atkins's famous evaluation of the world - between the Holy Demon is human beings.

The rumored Atkins is generous, enthusiastic, powerful, handsome, and can be said to be a model figure in the mercenary world who combines the trust of his subordinates and the love of the opposite sex.

......

Half a month later...

Kaye looked up at the walls of Valagund and breathed a sigh of relief, since he was separated from the Hulk, he had been walking through Castis, over the Motan Mountains, around Gluck and Mared who belonged to the Orc Empire, and finally saw the bricks of human power.

Along the way, Kaye tried to avoid crowded places, after all, apart from merchants and mercenaries, there were not many humans who appeared on the territory of the orcs, not to mention that he was still alone. So during this time, Kaye was not able to get the slightest bit of information about Bledsoe.

Of course, this also has something to do with Kaye's inability to speak half-orc language, otherwise if he goes to a random orc town and asks, he will ensure that anyone can talk to him for a long time.

Unfortunately, all assumptions were empty at this time, and Kaye entered the city with eagerness, wanting to find a small restaurant to inquire about the news, and when he was full of wine and food, people inevitably talked more and blew a few sentences. For finding out the news, it will naturally be a lot simpler.

Kaye didn't notice that when he entered the city, the rotating mercenaries at the gate looked him up and down suspiciously for a long time, and then glanced at his companion, who nodded, and secretly followed Kaye with a disdainful and somewhat gloating smile.

......

Kaye pushes open the door of a restaurant called "Wind Whisper".

But something inexplicably anomalous, the moment he entered the door, the customers in the restaurant invariably stopped talking, even some customers who were slower to respond, after turning their heads to see Kaye at the door, stopped talking, and the noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent.

Kaye didn't know what was going on, so he just found a random seat by the window and sat down, ready to see what was going on.

It's just that before his ass is hot, the waiter at the restaurant came to him with a disgusted expression and pointed to the menu impatiently: "Hey, what do you want to eat." ”

Kaye didn't understand why the waiter's attitude was so bad, and he could only understand the customs of Vala when he first came to Vala. Maybe the so-called Free City is a very temperamental?" Kaye couldn't help but think with some complaints.

"I don't want to eat anything right now, I just want to sit for a while. "Under the roof, you have to bow your head, but Kaye is now penniless, and he has been feeding on fruit and game all the way, and he has no money to use.

Who would have thought, but his answer made the waiter jump to his feet. "Hey, boy! I warn you, we've seen a lot of people like you all this time! What are you doing when you're young, you have arms and legs, get out of here!" With that, two strong men dressed as mercenaries in the corner of the restaurant walked towards Kaye.

"Do you want to be blasted out? or do you want to be carried out?"

As a normal person, the blonde boy naturally didn't want to go straight in and out sideways, so he was blasted out of the restaurant in a daze.

What a strange place this is! Dare to call it a free city! It's even more barbaric than an orc. Kaye wanted to shout out his displeasure, but at the sight of the yellow-green, muscular figure scattered on the street, he wisely chose to shut up.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Kaye was still angry in his heart just now, when two uninvited guests quietly appeared.

"Ou ~ Your Royal Highness the Prince, I really didn't expect to be able to see your dignity here. I've been waiting for you for a long time~" Behind Kaye, a male voice that was obviously a little excited and uncontrollable said.

Kaye was overjoyed when he heard this, and he followed the sound, but was taken aback at a glance - there stood in front of him two young men who looked exactly the same, knightly dressed, but with different hair colors, they looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with thin faces, and a pair of bright eyes that felt like they could see through the heart under the slender eyebrows. It's just that although the two look the same, because of the difference in their eyes and demeanor, they are surprisingly easy to distinguish.

The red-haired man's back was straight, his gaze was slightly condensed, and even the most ordinary standing posture carried a sense of military rigour, and without saying a word, people had a feeling of trustworthiness.

On the other side, the green-haired man who spoke was a little ruffian, his upper buttons were open at will, his saber was untied as a cane, he looked extremely tired, his eyes were full of agility, but at this time he looked a little lazy and lazy.

Although he didn't know each other, and he couldn't tell the origin of the other party from his clothes and saber, the other party's words still made Kaye not investigate the other party's identity in detail. "You know me, take me back to Lionheart. I have urgent business to go back. ”

"Look, Kent, I told you a long time ago. It's the same old routine again, and I'm in a hurry to go back, and I must have no money on me, right? The green-haired knight's tone was obviously different from just now, and suddenly became an expression that he knew this was the case, and his tone was full of perfunctory. While saying something to the red-haired knight that made Kaye scratch his head, he asked Kaye in a weird way.

Because he really didn't understand what the green-haired knight was for, and he didn't even have a copper coin on him, Kaye had no choice but to nod.

Seeing this, the red-haired knight frowned and pressed the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

The green-haired knight's eyes lit up as if he had been beaten with blood, and his waist straightened. "I'll just say it! I'll just say it! But it's really stupid, I've been caught so many liars, and there are still people who dare to pretend to be Bledsoe's prince, do you think dyed your hair with blonde hair is a prince? Count you lucky today, I'm too lazy to do it, and now I'll take you to the rescue, I won't knock you out." ”

The liar's impersonation, the Green-Haired Knight's nonsensical remarks, made Kaye even more confused, wondering if there was something wrong with Vala's people, or was it because he hadn't been in contact with humans in a while, and the world had changed?

"What the hell are you talking about? If you don't want to help, please get out of the way, I'm in a hurry. Kaye, who felt like he had run into a Yamaga child and was a little upset by the successive accidents, said impatiently.

"Oh, do you still want to run? It's a toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame us, hurry up and get him back to the errand, Kent." With that, he drew his sword and strode forward.

Watching the green-haired knight advance without a trace of defense, Kaye showed a look of disdain, and talked for a long time, but it turned out to be just a rookie. He flicked a sword in his hand, trying to make the green-haired knight retreat.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he saw that the red-haired knight had already appeared at the angle of his attack, and assumed the most standard defensive posture.

The green-haired knight's sword has arrived, and the attack that originally seemed to Kaye to be quite a layman has become extremely powerful after no defensive concerns, not only extremely fast, but also with a somewhat erratic feeling, as if he will change the position of the attack or connect multiple swords at will, which is difficult to understand.

Two knights who look exactly the same, one attacking and one defending, complement each other!
