Ryan walked down the street, and suddenly felt like a big change compared to before. There are very few people on the streets, and the few people who are in a hurry are walking.

There were a lot of original residents in Kata City, and a large number of people had poured in because of the mercenary tournament before, but now with the end of the mercenary tournament, it seemed to be empty for a moment.

After walking a few streets, Ryan realized that it was no wonder that there were so few people on other streets, and everyone was concentrated on this street. The street is now crowded with out-of-town merchants to clear the backlog of goods, and the street is more crowded than during the Mercenary Tournament.

This scene made Rui Anxin feel some intimacy, and he couldn't help but wonder how much this was like the clearance price in the store in his previous life. It's just a stall.

It can be seen that the people who come here to buy are basically residents of Kata City, because almost everyone who buys is bargaining fiercely with the merchants, and those who come out to watch the mercenary tournament generally have some money, and they will definitely not care about this one or two small dollars.

Ryan had no intention of going into the street at this point, and he decided to wait until he was done with his business to see if he could find something good.

Ryan's main business is to ask about school. However, he is really unfamiliar with Kata City, except for Moya's father's family, he really doesn't know many people, and Ryan used to have a few partners, but now he doesn't know where he is. Ryan's biggest question now is who to ask him?

Ryan walked aimlessly on the streets with few people, looking at the guys in some shops on both sides, and some pedestrians passing by in a hurry, Ryan really didn't have the courage or embarrassment, so he pulled a random person to ask.

In this way, after Ryan walked for half a day, he found that he had walked to the mercenary association a little inertia.

"Well, since you're here, let's go in and see if anyone can ask." Ryan thought as he walked into the Mercenary Guild.

As soon as he stepped through the door of the Mercenary Guild, Ryan naturally walked into the mission hall, and when there was no mercenary competition, the mercenaries were destined for the mission hall.

It wasn't the first time Ryan had come to the mission hall, so as soon as he stepped in, he felt that the number of people inside was only about 30% of the usual number.

The task hall is very large, and there are twenty or thirty counters in front of the door, issuing various types of tasks, and in front of the counter, there are some mercenaries lined up, who are here to receive the task, of course, there are dozens of people lined up at the counter of the low-level mission, and the more advanced the task, the fewer people queue up at the counter, and the counter with the highest level task has no one.

Next to these counters, there is also a small door that leads to a small room inside, which is said to be the place where the assignments are issued, and from time to time some people walk in.

On the left and right sides of the mercenary hall against the wall, a row of benches is set up for the mercenaries to rest and wait. Today, however, there are very few people, and there are only a dozen people sitting on the benches that used to fill hundreds of people.

Ryan was standing in the middle of the hall, hesitating whether to go to the counter where the task was posted and ask, but how to speak?

When Ryan was wandering through the mission hall, a young maid came over and smiled at Ryan and asked, "This gentleman, can I help you?" ”

"I'd like to ask some questions, can the mercenaries provide this kind of service?" Ryan was very happy to see that someone had taken the initiative to ask.

"Yes, our mercenary association has a place dedicated to solving this kind of problem. Do you want to ask a general question or a special question? ”

"Oh? And how do you divide it? What's the difference between the two? Ryan asked, curious.

"Of course, there is a big difference, the charges are not the same. Ordinary questions are non-confidential questions, which are specially used by some people who do not know to solve the confusion, and these questions are relatively cheap. Special questions, on the other hand, are confidential questions that charge different fees depending on the difficulty of the questions. The young maid could see that Ryan wasn't someone who could afford to ask special questions, so she just gave a brief introduction.

"Well, I'm going to ask a general question." Ryan didn't hesitate and immediately said what he wanted.

"Okay, I'll take you there." After saying that, the young maid did not move, but stood in place, staring at Ryan with a smile.

Ryan was stunned for a moment, but then understood. I have been in this world for more than half a year, and I still understand this world, and the service industry in this world needs to be tipped in.

Ryan took out his money bag, took out a string of 50 copper coins, handed them to the young maid, and said, "Please lead the way." ”

The young maid was a little disappointed when she saw that it was only 50 copper coins, but she did not refuse, after all, it was just a gesture to lead the way.

Led by the young maid, Ryan walked out of the mission hall and towards one of the dozen houses on the left.

Stepping through the door, the young maid went straight to a large counter inside the door, said a few words to the staff inside, and then asked Ryan to sit in a chair next to her for a while, and then left the room.

Ryan looked at the room, except for a large counter in front of it, there were more than a dozen chairs side by side against the wall on both sides, and now there were several people sitting there, waiting silently. There was a passage next to the large counter leading inside, and at first glance, there seemed to be several small rooms inside, but the doors were tightly closed.

After a while, the door of a small room inside opened, and a man came out, and went straight away. The staff inside the large counter called for another person to enter the small room, and the door was closed tightly.

Seeing this, Ryan immediately understood the procedure here.

A moment later, it was Ryan's turn to go in.

As soon as Ryan stepped into the small room, he found that it was not as dark as he had imagined, but rather bright, and the sun was shining through the window next to him.

Ryan closed the door with his hand.

The small room was small, with a kind of table in the middle, and an empty chair in front of the table, and inside the table sat a middle-aged man in his forties, looking at Ryan with a blank face.

"You may be seated." The middle-aged man's voice is a bit stiff, but it doesn't make people sound uncomfortable.

Ryan pulled out a chair and sat down.

"What questions do you want to ask?" The middle-aged man then asked.

"I'd like to ask about the Swordsman Academy?" Ryan thought for a moment and asked a little embarrassed?

"Swordsman Academy?" The middle-aged man was a little strange, and then asked, "What is the problem with the Swordsman Academy?" ”

"Hmm...... Well, that's right, I want to find a swordsman academy to learn fighting qi, but I don't know which academy to go to. Ryan hesitated for a moment, then decided to confess.

"Well, that's the question, huh...... A consultation fee of 20 silver coins is required. The middle-aged man wondered how someone could ask such a very ordinary question of common sense, but he still charged according to the regulations of the mercenary association.

Ryan was a little strange, how to ask a question and charge so much money, it was almost enough to catch up with Ryan's monthly salary. However, Ryan thought about it for a while, and still took out the money to pay for it with some heartache.

"There are many colleges in the Duchy of Pouls, basically every city has a few in name, but the real colleges are basically in the city of Skayas, which is known as the city of colleges. It's as if Kata City is called the City of Mercenaries because Kata City has a large concentration of mercenaries, while Skayas City is famous for the fact that there are more than a dozen large and small academies in the city. ”

"Almost all the people in the Duchy of Pools go to Skayas City to study, which also makes it difficult for colleges in other cities to recruit students, and many colleges exist in name only, such as our college in Kata City, which is now rarely known to have this place."

"There are three types of academies in Skayas City, the first is the Academy of Magic, there is only one academy of this kind, the Academy of Magic of Alexandria, which was founded by Magister Alexander hundreds of years ago, and this is an academy that purely teaches magic."

"The second type is the Swordsman Academy, there are close to ten such academies, some good and some bad, depending on the scale and influence, the best swordsman academy is the Pools Public Swordsman Academy, which was created by the Grand Duke of Pooles."

"The third type is a comprehensive academy, this kind of academy mainly teaches swordsmen, supplemented by magic, the level of teaching swordsmen in this kind of academy is slightly inferior to that of specialized swordsman colleges, and the level of teaching magic is far inferior to that of Alexandria School of Magic, but it is better to have knowledge in all aspects, which is convenient for students to touch the class. Therefore, comprehensive colleges are also very popular. There are several comprehensive colleges, the most famous of which is Skayas Comprehensive College. ”
