Chapter 43: Out of the City
The wheels rolled on the bluestone avenues in the city, making a rolling sound.
Some of the caravan had already gone to the gate to negotiate with the guards, so the gate was opened before the caravan could reach the gate.
Sean leaned against the window of the carriage, reaching out to support his head, observing the bustling crowd on the street.
The news of the war had not yet reached the common people, and the city of Lane was still peaceful, with everyone living their lives day in and day out, creating wealth for the professions and nobles.
Having successfully exited the city gates, unhindered, the caravan with its blue-background flag hung on the roof of the carriage, making a roaring sound with the oncoming wind.
Because the team is relatively large, it can only be walked from the main road, although the distance may be farther than the small road, but it is convenient and safe.
The sun at the end of the season is pouring down on the ground, and the cold of the snow season has disappeared in favor of a spreading green.
The vast continent of Faren has endless beauty, and if Sean can rest for a while once in a while, he will definitely look around.
Hogle City is the destination of caravans and other people.
This city is located in the kingdom of Karis, on the border of the three kingdoms, but it has not experienced war for a long time.
It was a famous trading city and merchant capital, and although there were no formal-level powerhouses, it was the base camp of many nobles who started out in trade.
Hogle City has a relatively large population of about 320,000 compared to Lane City, but it occupies about the same place.
There are two reasons for this.
First of all, the city of Lane has a wall, in the early stage of the city's construction, the builders misestimated the future population, resulting in the city wall being built too long, and the urban area within the city wall is too large, so the land price is relatively cheap, and the population density is low.
Then there is the city of Hogel, it is said that after an extremely terrifying mega earthquake tens of thousands of years ago, the geological movement around the city of Hogel suddenly became extremely slow, and few geological disasters occurred, so the architectural characteristics of Hogel City are tall and large.
At the same time, because of the lack of facades, people became more crowded together, and because of the difficulty of developing slums and wastelands, Hogel was more densely populated than Lane City.
The roads of Hogg City extend in all directions, the traffic conditions are quite superior, and the special geographical location makes the merchants of the Karis Kingdom, the Vaghri Kingdom, and the Conneli Kingdom like to trade in Hogel City.
The arrival of a large number of merchants made the economy of Hogel City develop rapidly, in order to ensure the fairness and justice of trade, Hogel City has a very good security environment, and pays attention to human rights and privacy, and the crime rate is much lower than that of other cities.
With this in mind, Sean was pleased with his decision to move to Hogle City for the time being.
His current strength is enough to protect himself, and coupled with a relatively safe environment, Sean can completely expose the existence of the first few combination potions to make a lot of money.
The commercial city of Hogle can also help him in his alchemy, whether it is to make a staff or to make potions, materials are extremely important, in such a trading city, it is much easier to buy something than in a small city.
After studying Hogle City for a while, Sean closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Haytham had prepared a small carriage for both him and the level 6 ranger named Bilelle Bess to make their journey a little better without worrying about being disturbed.
Although the carriage was a little bumpy on the road, Sean quickly entered a meditative state.
Meditation to pass some boring time is already commonplace for spellcasters, and the feeling of the soul swimming in the ether is both boring and somewhat addictive.
……
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
A knock on the door woke Sean from his meditative state.
With a hint of confusion, he pushed open the carriage door, and standing in front of it was a servant.
"My lord, it's almost lunchtime, the caravan has stopped for repairs, do you need to get off the bus for lunch? Or we'll bring you food. ”
"No, I'll do it myself."
Sean shook his head, he had just joined this caravan, it was better not to act too unsociable, and a good relationship with other professionals might be able to play a role in the future.
The caravan stopped and stopped along the way, and it was estimated that it would take more than ten days to get to Hogel City, and it was not a matter of cultivating in the carriage all day long during this period.
After opening all the defenses of the boxes he had brought with him, and arranging a few small means, Sean stepped out of the carriage with a smile on his face and looked around curiously.
Servants and mercenaries were eating their own rations, and some merchants of rank were talking to Bruckner and his son with sycophants, as if they had endless words.
In one of the carriages in front of Sean, a deft figure jumped down.
Without looking at his face, Sean knew that this was the Ranger, and it seemed that he had the same calculation as himself, or simply wanted to come down and get some fresh air.
Bilair also noticed Sean, and instead of continuing on, he stood still, looking like he was waiting, as if he wanted to talk to Sean.
"Hey, Bilaire, you're also going to Hogar City?"
Sean stepped forward.
When they met before, the two of them only briefly introduced their names, and they didn't know each other at all.
"yes." Bilaire and Sean walked side by side, "Hi Sean, I'm Bilaire Bess for the first time, a professional wilderness adventurer. ”
Sean was stunned for a moment, and replied, learning his way of speaking, "I'm Sean Morton, a mage, good at alchemy. ”
"Ah, mage."
Billaire looked at the twin swords behind Sean's back and sighed, "When I first saw Your Excellency in the morning, I thought you were a warrior or a ranger like me. ”
"Haha, a little bit of personal hobby." Sean tilted his head and replied somewhat perfunctorily, picking up his pace as if he wanted to hurry up and eat.
Billaire didn't care, and soon, the two came to Haytham and the others.
The food is dry food and freshly grilled meat, which is a unique benefit for the first few days, and if you want to eat fresh meat on the way afterward, you will probably have to catch wild beasts.
A simple folding table was unfolded in the center, and when Sean and Bilaire approached him, the businessmen who were talking to Haytham immediately left their seats, leaving room for several professionals to mingle.
These people can change from ordinary people to businessmen, and their brains are more flexible, so they naturally won't do something that is in the way of the eyes.
