Chapter 80: The Ancient Continent
After a rough look at the introduction board outside the mercenary union, Aaron turned around and walked towards the gate of the union, and soon entered inside.
"There are really a lot of people here!" In the trade union hall, there are many people who come here to do business at this time, some are ordinary people in the city, and some are mercenaries in armor, which is very lively.
After a few glances left and right, Aaron withdrew his gaze and walked slowly to the right, and soon came to a small room, where there were only a few scattered people, and it seemed much more deserted than the hall.
This is where the trade union buys information, but if there is anything that needs to be inquired about, you can just come here and find the person in charge, and of course, you can only get the information you need if you pay for it.
Although there were not many people in it, Aaron still had to take turns waiting for the people in front of him to finish buying the news before it was his turn, because there were less than five people in front, he just waited for a little about twenty minutes before it was his turn.
The person in charge here is a middle-aged man with a beard around his face and a slightly fat body.
"My name is Andrew, and I'm the person in charge here, what information do you want to ask?"
Aaron walked up to Andrew, sat down in the chair directly across from him, and asked, "Do you have all the map information about the continent? I want to know where the continent is now?"
When Andrew heard this, he shook his head without thinking about it, and said: "The Guroy Continent is extremely vast, let alone our mercenary group, even if it is a force ten times stronger than us, there will be no map information of the entire continent." I can only tell you that the city of Ark, where I am now, is located on the southeastern edge of the continent and belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Get. ”
"This time it's really troublesome, I actually ran to another continent!" After listening to Andrew's words, Aaron was very depressed, he didn't expect his luck to be so bad, he really broke away from the Gularan continent and came to a Guroy continent that he had never heard of.
"Mr. Andrew, do you have any information here about the Gulalan continent, do you know how to get to this continent?"
Now he only hopes that the continent he is currently on is not very far from the Gularan continent, and there is a way to go back.
"Gularan Continent, do you mean the smaller continent to the south of our continent?" Andrew asked uncertainly.
"That's right, I mean the continent. Aaron said this, in fact, he didn't know much in his heart, but it shouldn't be wrong, looking at Andrew's attitude, he should know something.
And Aaron was a little surprised, he completely expected that the Gularan Continent would be smaller than the continent under his feet now, so the overall strength of the Guloy Continent might be stronger.
"The distance between the Gularan Continent and the Guroy Continent is very long, if it is a normal sea crossing, there will be no accidents on the way, it is estimated that it will be possible to reach it in more than ten years, but this is not very likely, basically no one can cross the sea by boat to reach that place. Andrew paused, then explained.
"Is there any other way to go than to cross the sea?" asked Aaron.
"Someone has been to that continent, but how to get there, we don't have relevant information here, I can't answer you. Andrew shook his head and sighed, wondering a little: "Why is this guy asking all these questions!"
From the beginning to the present, the information that Aaron wants to know has made Andrew feel embarrassed, and it is rare to encounter this situation after staying in the union for so long.
"It seems that it is not an easy matter to return to the Gularan Continent, but fortunately, it is not completely hopeless. The result from Andrew was a little disappointing for Aaron, but fortunately it wasn't to the point of despair, at least he knew that there was a way to go back.
After asking about the Gularan Continent, Aaron asked about the others: "Mr. Andrew, do you know where you can get Mithril ore with higher purity?"
"Finally a normal question!" Andrew listened, feeling a little comforted, and it would be a little embarrassing if he couldn't answer it again. "I know that, but this news costs 50 gold, or you can replace it with something else. ”
Andrew knew the answer Aaron was going to ask, but he didn't rush to say it, the news here is that it costs money to buy, and it must be given money first, and then the answer, this is the rule.
"Do you accept magic crystals here?" Aaron didn't have much gold on his body, but now he is almost running out, not enough to pay Andrew.
"Receive, of course, the ratio of low-level magic crystals and gold coins to huàn is just 1 to 50, just give a low-level magic crystal. Andrew then nodded, and then said, "I would like to ask, are you an official mage?"
Seeing that Aaron planned to pay with magic crystals, Andrew vaguely guessed his identity.
"Hmm. Aaron just nodded lightly in affirmation.
"It turned out to be Mr. Mage, and it was an honor to meet you. Knowing that Aaron was really a mage, Andrew's attitude suddenly became a lot more respectful, whether it was the Gularan continent or the Guroy continent, mages were a noble profession and were admired by most people.
After giving Andrew a low-level magic crystal, he told the information he knew.
According to him, the city of Tamira in the Kingdom of Gates is rich in all kinds of ores, including Mithril ore, and it is up to you to get some of them wherever you go.
"Mr. Aaron, if you are going to Tamira City, you might as well find a mercenary group as an escort...... "Tamira City is a long way from Ark City, and it will take at least half a year to arrive if you are in a hurry, so Andrew Jianyì hires a mercenary group to escort you, which will be a lot more convenient and fast.
"Hire a mercenary group, this seems to be a good attention!" Aaron thought about it, it will take at least half a year to go to Tamira City, and it is indeed more troublesome to travel alone, if you hire a mercenary group, you can save a lot of trouble, and the time saved on the road can be used on some real yàn, which is a good choice.
Moreover, the mercenary group is more familiar with the road, so it is much faster than rushing by himself, so, after some consideration, Aaron finally decided to hire a mercenary group.
"I don't know what Mr. Andrew has to say about the mercenary group. Once he had made his decision, Aaron turned to Andrew for advice.
"Mr. Aaron, you're asking the right question, I happen to know that a mercenary group is very suitable for this task, and I am familiar with their leader. Andrew laughed.
"Oh, that mercenary group, tell me about it. Aaron said with interest.
"The mercenary group I am talking about is called the Hurricane Mercenary Group, which is well-known in the branch, often receives escort tasks, and is also familiar with the territory of the Kingdom of Gate, and nine out of ten missions can be completed smoothly, the head of the regiment himself, not long ago, he just reached the level of the great sword master, and the members of the team are also good at the sword master......" Andrew introduced unhurriedly.
After listening to Andrew's introduction to the Hurricane Mercenary Group, Aaron felt that he could choose this: "Then please ask Mr. Andrew, you can help, and I will choose this mercenary group to escort." ”
"No trouble, no trouble, happy to serve you!" Andrew smiled, he definitely won't find this kind of thing troublesome, as an introducer, he can get a lot of compensation.
After a brief conversation, Andrew asked someone else to take over his affairs, and then personally took Aaron out of the union and went to the head of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment.
Soon, Aaron followed Andrew to his destination.
What appeared in front of me was a large house with a small garden, which was considered good in the city, and belonged to the middle and upper classes.
Andrew walked to the door, knocked lightly a few times, and then shouted a few times, and after a while, a man of Andrew's age opened the door: "It turned out to be Andrew, what kind of wind blew you here." ”
"Hey old friend, I'm here to introduce you to the mission today. Andrew pointed at Aaron, and then said, "This is Master Aaron, he is going to Tamira City, but he is not familiar with the route, and he plans to hire you for an escort mission. ”
After speaking, Andrew introduced the man in front of him to Aaron: "Master Aaron, this is the leader of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment I mentioned, Chris." ”
"Mr. Aaron, it's an honor to meet you!" Chris smiled.
Aaron nodded, "I'm glad to meet you, too, Captain Chris." I wonder if you'd be interested in accepting my employment?"
"I have no opinion on this task, but our mercenary group just came back from a mission not long ago, and I want to ask the opinions of other members, after all, everyone must agree to take the task. Chris didn't say yes, and needed to confirm with the other team members.
"I'll give you an answer tomorrow, can you?" said Chris, hesitantly.
"Yes, then I look forward to your good news tomorrow. Aaron nodded that it didn't make sense, if the Hurricane Mercenary Group didn't plan to take on the mission, it would be the same for other mercenary groups.
After that, Aaron and Andrew chatted at Chris's house for a short while, and then went back to the hotel where they lived, ready to come back tomorrow to confirm.
