The robber was wounded and retreated, and he covered his wounded chest with his left hand, but he couldn't stop the blood from pouring out.

When the robbers retreated, Ryan did not continue to pursue, but instead withdrew his sword and retreated.

Because the city guard soldiers behind the robbers and next to Ryan had quickly surrounded the bandits.

The next step was very simple, several city guard soldiers raised their long swords to attack together, and the robbers who had been injured tried their best to resist a few moves, and immediately hit the sword several times, and finally couldn't resist after a few breaths, and were put on the neck by several long swords, and were caught.

Then several soldiers stepped forward to tie up the robbers and escort them away.

After some commotion, the captain of the squad turned pale and shouted that everyone could not relax and continued to guard the city gate.

Then, the team leader walked up to Ryan and said to Ryan with great gratitude: "This brother, thank you for saving your life, if you hadn't helped me just now, the robbers might have killed me and escaped." ”

"You're welcome, this is also my duty, since I have done this task, I will naturally take action when the enemy attacks." Ryan hurriedly said modestly.

Immediately, the team leader thanked him again and promised to report to his boss and repay Ryan later.

After another moment, a messenger from the city guard came and informed them that all the robbers had been captured and that the gates could be opened for passage.

Then, after a panic in and out of the city, the city gate returned to normal.

At this time, it was already dark, and the mission of Ryan and the others was over. You can go back after returning to the City Guard station to receive your pay.

However, to Ryan's great delight, when he received his payment, he was paid 2 gold coins, which was ten times the 20 silver coins he had promised before.

The City Guard officer also made a point of mentioning that this was Ryan's reward for his outstanding performance and assistance in capturing the bandits. This is the envy of others.

With the reward of 2 gold coins, Ryan can't wait to have such a reward every day. It's a pity that a situation like this today is hard to come by. Moreover, this situation is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, you can easily die.

…………

After that, Ryan lived an uneventful life again, although he still had to work in the City Guard every ten days, but it was just a dull and boring job.

More than a month passed quickly, and it had been half a year since Ryan entered Parr Comprehensive College.

Ryan's strength, in the non-stop cultivation day and night, has improved by leaps and bounds, although Ryan's fighting spirit level has not yet broken through to the level of a second-level swordsman, but with his current growth rate of fighting energy, I believe it will not take long.

Recently, the college has been very lively, because the college will hold a large competition in the middle of the year every year, that is, according to the grades, each grade will be competitive, and then the top three in each grade will be determined.

This is somewhat similar to the mercenary tournament that Ryan participated in before, and when he first heard this information, Ryan thought that there were a lot of bonuses and was very interested in participating in the competition. But when he heard that the winner had only received the first prize in his grade, with little reward, and that the top three had only received a high-quality sword each, he lost interest completely.

However, not everyone is as low-key as Ryan, just for the sake of the first place in this grade, most people ignore their own strength alcohol is not good, sign up immediately, and accumulate experience in the name of beauty.

So recently, there has been a lot of excitement in the academy, and everyone is discussing the mid-year competition.

This made Ryan even more determined not to participate, Ryan is not afraid of losing, although his fighting spirit level is in the second grade, it can only be regarded as average, but with his sword skill level, there is still a good chance to get the first place in this grade. But what if you get the first place in your grade? In addition to making people jealous and causing trouble for himself, he can only get a false name of the first grade that Ryan avoids, and a sword that he doesn't know what kind of.

The gains outweigh the losses!

Ryan decided to take advantage of the opportunity of those masters to compete and practice more himself to shorten the distance between him and them.

Soon, however, Ryan's plans were interrupted when Hurris came looking for him.

As soon as Ryan asked, it turned out that Helis did not participate in the competition, because his strength was not good, so as not to go up and show ugliness.

And Helis didn't seem to have to ask, and knew that Ryan wouldn't be participating.

Helis didn't come to talk to Ryan this time. He pretended to be mysterious and said to Ryan, "If you don't go to the grade competition, you can go there." ”

"Oh, where?" Ryan wasn't interested, but he asked in Helis's language.

"Did you know that at this time of year, we in Skayas City hold a big annual fair?"

"A trade fair? I don't know, what is it for? Ryan was interested.

"A trade fair is a deal." Helis smiled and continued, "Every year, when the fair is held, it attracts a large number of merchants and some strange treasures to trade. ”

"Treasures? What treasures are there? "Ryan is more interested.

"Hehe, treasure is a general name, as long as it is rare and valuable, it can be called a treasure, but this trade fair does not limit what to trade, so all kinds of things will appear, generally speaking, there are more transactions of all kinds of treasures and jewelry for ordinary people, etc., various weapons and equipment for swordsmen, various magic props for magicians, and even sometimes there will be some middle-level fighting qi secrets and sword skills, etc."

"Is there a magic storage bag?" Ryan remembered the loot he had kept all along, the magic storage bag.

"Yes, they are generally sold in magic shops, but the space inside is small, and there are not many of them, and the price is expensive." Helis seems to be more knowledgeable about the market.

"Alas, I can't afford to buy all these things you said." Ryan sighed.

"But look, it's also good to gain some knowledge." Helis retorted and suggested, "I don't think it's good for you to stay in the dormitory all the time to cultivate, so it's better to accompany me to the fair." ”

Ryan thought about it for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. Then he asked, "When will the fair start?" ”

"Starting tomorrow, the trade fair will last for half a month, but there will be some heavyweights on the first and last days."

"Well, okay, let's go shopping tomorrow. But where? ”

"In those commercial streets of our Skayas City, the city lord specially set aside that area as a place for the trade fair. Almost all the famous shops in the city are concentrated there, and I guess they will sell a lot of treasures tomorrow. And the auction house in the city will also hold a big auction tomorrow. ”

"Auction?"

"It's to take things out and bid for everyone, and the one with the highest price wins." Helis thought Ryan didn't understand, so he explained.

"I see. Tomorrow you come and I'll go with you. ”

"Okay."

Early the next morning, Ryan rarely didn't exercise and waited for Helis to arrive in his dorm.

Soon, Helis arrived, and the two went to the trade fair together.

The commercial streets of Skayas City are full of people.

In addition to the many shops that are open, there is also a street dedicated to some small traders and hawkers.

Ryan and Helis walked around slowly, and found that they had really grown a lot of knowledge, especially when there was a Helis next to him who seemed to recognize everything.

"This is the wolf skin of the second-level demonic beast green sideburns wolf unique to the territory of Warcraft, the green sideburns wolves are generally grouped Warcraft beasts, and they are very difficult to hunt, but this wolf skin has several relatively large holes, and it is estimated that it was made when they were killed. If the whole wolf skin is very complete, the price will be very expensive, and many people will rush to buy it, but this one, the price is much cheaper, and not many people want it. ”

"This walnut branch is said to be a good material for magicians to make magic wands, but this one doesn't seem to have grown for a long time, and it's not straight, so it probably won't sell for a good price."

"These pearls are deep-sea pearls unique to the open sea, and they are said to be found only on a clam monster. However, in inland cities like ours, there are a lot of fakes, and if you don't know how to identify them, it's easy to buy them. ”

"Many of these stalls are defective, and there are also a lot of fakes, if you don't understand, it's very easy to suffer, but if you know how to do it, plus a little luck, it's easy to find some treasures that others don't know at a very low price."

……

Along the way, Ryan admired Helis so much.

Ryan asked Helis, "How do you know so many things?" ”

Ryan's answer surprised Ryan: "No way, I don't want to know these things, but since I was a child, my father forced me to learn these things." ”

Ryan listened, a little puzzled about Helis's identity. After dating for so long, Ryan always thought that Helis was an ordinary student and didn't ask him, but now it seems that it is obviously not that simple.
