Khabarov Fort, the largest city between the Urav Fortress and the royal capital of Sarajevo, was one of the tightest money bags and granaries of His Majesty. It is also another corner of the triangle formed with Mansup Town and Uraf Fortress, and it is also the current location of Zhou Zhongmou.

The city was a thriving city, located in the heart of the Great Plains, with a continental road leading from the city to Guò, a dot of villages that provided one-third of the kingdom's food, and more than 50,000 of its inhabitants provided one-quarter of the kingdom's taxes. And because the king took control of another important node and the grain-producing town of Manstor, together with the Uraf fortress, the authority of the royal family of Southern Yuktobania was unbreakable.

The city was bustling with people, and the city never closed its gates even during the brief civil war that took place for the town of Manstor. There are also various guilds in the city - at least the mercenary guild's chapter in the Great Plains of the Southern Yuktobania Kingdom is located in this city, and the Grey Tower, a worldwide mage organization, also has an office here. The mercenary club here is a building, with a four-story building with a training ground, a mission hall, and a large bar.

It's a great club, it's well-equipped, and if you have the money, you can get a full range of training services here - you can learn and train all kinds of weapons. However, if a person has the money for training, then why should he become a mercenary? Of course, it is not excluded that some people are born to like to do it...... Now, in the building behind the club building, there is a big man on a practice field with a sweaty upper body waving a two-handed sword. The two-handed heavy sword specially made zuò was specially used for practice, and the sword, which was far heavier than the normal weight, was constantly slashed horizontally and vertically in the hands of this big man. The basic technical movements are repeated one by one, with the forward and backward steps and the rhythmic change of breathing, the heavy two-handed sword swing and slashing action is not fast, it is obvious that the big man deliberately controls the speed of the movements, and best exercises and learns combat skills.

This big man is Zhou Zhongmou, and the purchasing power of the gold coins in his hand is unexpectedly strong. However, it is also the case that a small family in this society, if it wants to maintain a moderate standard of living, can spend about ten gold coins a year - this is a house of its own, and if the citizens who rent a house maintain a decent standard of living, it is fifteen gold coins to live well. A hundred gold coins, even if you borrow the dormitory introduced by the mercenary branch and eat and drink lavishly and pay someone to teach you how to use weapons, this can be mixed for at least two years.

The average guy who wants to enter the mercenary industry usually spends ten silver coins to learn the basic skills of a one-handed sword with a shield or a spear, and then spends a few silver coins to hire someone to spar for a few days, and then spends a lot of money to buy a weapon to put his name in the mercenary union and try to accept the mercenary to earn money. If this person is lucky, he can receive several missions in a year, and he is not injured or his weapon is lost or broken during the mission, and he does not spend money indiscriminately, then he can almost pay for himself. But there are few and far mercenaries who can do this, most of them have been working for several years and still have a lot of debt, and the mercenaries who work together when they have money have learned to spend all their money and spend it profusely, and then either work hard for more than ten years and finally save a few gold coins to retire or change careers, or they die in the mission. Most of the beggars begging for food outside the street with broken hands and feet are scum from mercenaries.

Zhou Zhongmou knew that he was so rich, and immediately began to spend money lavishly - almost all the weapon training programs provided by the trade union cost money from the junior to the advanced, and the training ground behind him even chartered one, and successively invited several intermediate mercenaries with different specialized weapons to serve as sparring partners. To say that this union has long regarded Zhou Zhongmou or Zuo De as a young master who loves the mercenary profession from a rich man's family with a brain problem.......

Now it has been a year since he came to this city, and the seventeen-year-old Zhou Zhongmou has reached a height of one meter nine, and the development effect is very good under the good amount of exercise and full nutrition, with developed and well-proportioned muscles and a tall figure, he is completely the foundation of an outstanding warrior. The problem is that the development of the face ....... puberty did not leave a lot of pimples for Zuode's face, but I don't know why, the longer his face grows in the process of redevelopment, the more unsightly it becomes. "In the past, he could be regarded as a little white face that could still be seen! How could he have grown into a bandit face now! This is completely unscientific! Could it be that it is the truth of this world that is born from the heart?" Looking at the large glass mirror on the wall of the training ground, Zhou Zhongmou or Zuo De muttered in his mouth.

As a newcomer to mercenaries, although he was determined to be a good mercenary at the middle level of Black Iron in the assessment, there are not many types of tasks that can be received - basically they are small tasks such as cleaning up some over-breeding goblins and eliminating wandering goblins or ogres. Among them, if it is an ogre, there will be some small mercenary groups to lead free mercenaries like them to do tasks, and the reward will be even less.

The social production capacity of this world is much higher than that of the European Middle Ages on the same earth - it has almost reached the point of the industrial revolution, which is also one of the reasons why Zhou Zhongmou has long called this unscientific. Therefore, the large plate glass mirrors inlaid in the mercenary union are completely inlaid with any difficulty, and even the homes of ordinary citizens are inlaid with glass mirrors the size of human heads on the basins in the bathroom. And the culture and daily life of the society make Zhou Zhongmou feel strange, not like the real earth's Europe, but the so-called "Western medieval fantasy world" in Japanese comics, animations and games, "fortunately, there is no miscellaneous little family spirit and strange thoughts......... this is Zhou Zhongmou is finally satisfied.

Through these tasks, he can be regarded as knowing a few familiar mercenaries, but half of them have quit the profession one after another in a year, and some have hung up. And Zhou Zhongmou also recorded some differences between the people of the other world and the earthlings in the mission - one mission was an urgent mission, the bandits attacked a village, killing about 20 people, and the local mercenaries were called up and led by a team of knights of the knights stationed at Khabarov Fort to the village to clean up the aftermath and chase down the bandits. The reason why I brought all the people with me is that the mercenaries and robbers in this world change jobs very quickly, and sometimes the mercenaries simply make cameo appearances as robbers, in order to avoid chaos, simply let the knights take this gang of troubles to clean up the aftermath, in case someone is a member of the bandits or wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble - the knights who are all silver can easily kill more than two hundred mercenaries. Although there are also silver-class masters among the mercenaries, these masters are basically upper-class mercenaries with status, more or less have family business or the status of a legitimate mercenary group, which is completely different from the free mercenaries who are defeated dogs in life.

And during this mission, Zhou Zhongmou took the opportunity to secretly dissect the bodies of several villagers who had been killed. Then he found that although these guys were very similar in appearance to earthlings, their internal organs were still different - at least their livers and waists were completely different from earthlings. Zhou Zhongmou had long known that ogres had several stomachs, as well as three lungs and two hearts, so they were endowed with a huge amount of food and a strong body and vitality, but the difference in the internal organs of the humans here still made him feel alienated from the humans in this world again, "They are a completely different species from me! In the absence of fossil proof, I can't even say that they evolved from apes - after all, this is a flat world born from chaos, and it's hard to say whether there is a concept of evolution or not!" ”
