In Ward City by the sea, there is a slight dampness from the warm sea breeze.

During the time that Lees crossed the Correa Hills, the winter of the Dillon Kingdom was almost over, and Ward City was located by the sea, and the natural temperature was slightly warmer than that of the Correa Hills.

Most of the snow in the city has begun to melt in the warm sun, and it feels a little wet.

Except for the main road of Ward City, which is made of bluestone slabs, the other roads are dirt roads, which have become muddy under the crushing of trucks, and pedestrians are too lazy to dodge, anyway, their shoes are already dirty.

The place where Ward City is located is the upper right corner of the Fanor continent, adjacent to the Loa Sea, with the endless ocean to the east and the Pearl Sea to the south.

The reason why Duke Ward established Ward City and Harbor in this place is because it is a rare ice-free port, which is quite important for the Kingdom of Dillon, which has a cold climate for half of the year.

Lees walked down the main road of Ward City, in the direction of the Mercenary Guild.

There were quite a lot of pedestrians coming and going on the street, and in addition to the guys and traveling merchants of the caravan of the Great Chamber of Commerce, there were also many people dressed as mercenaries.

This is because there are quite a few caravans of mercenaries who have crossed half of the kingdom of Dillon to come here, and those mercenaries have not left after arriving here.

After all, it's not easy to come here, and as a new place in the Dillon Kingdom, Ward City also has a lot of opportunities waiting for these mercenaries.

The largest number of tasks entrusted by mercenaries is [Escort Merchant Ships].

Merchant ships departing from Ward City usually went to the ports of the Berdych Kingdom to trade supplies.

More distant routes to other countries have not yet been developed, and only this route is safer at the moment.

But even so, this route does not mean that there is no danger.

The extraordinary beasts in the sea are no less than those on land, and even more threatening.

Once a merchant ship is destroyed by those transcendent demonic beasts, it will be difficult for even transcendent professionals to survive in the ocean far from land, let alone those ordinary people.

Therefore, the most important thing for the major forces in Ward City at present is to explore the technology and skills of the voyage, and in order to ensure that they can bring back valuable information by sea, they will not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire mercenaries to participate in the voyage.

In addition to the lucrative commissions, being able to travel to other countries is even more tempting for the mercenaries of the Dillon Kingdom.

After all, it is quite difficult to pass through the Luoxue Mountains in the south of the kingdom, so it is better to fight and reach the Berdych Kingdom by sea.

The emergence of Ward City has brought a different vitality to the Kingdom of Dillon.

It's also a new hope!

Lees walked down the streets of Ward City, and there was a lot of life everywhere.

Ward City isn't that big, and half of the area is full of marinas and supporting facilities.

And the mercenary guild is also on the streets west of the city.

It can be seen that this mercenary guild in Ward City should have been converted from a warehouse, and its appearance looks a little ordinary.

However, when Li Si pushed the door and walked in, it was different from the cold outside, but it was in full swing inside.

Countless mercenaries from the Kingdom of Dillon gathered here, and almost all the tables were filled with mercenaries, who were toasting and drinking wine.

Unlike what Li Si had seen in the mercenary guild in Ice Peak City, the food on the table was no longer a variety of cured meats, but fresh sea fish sashimi.

Many mercenaries had some hesitation on their faces, cautiously tasting some novel food.

More mercenaries didn't care about it anymore, laughing loudly at the timidity of the newcomers, munching on fresh sashimi, seemingly forgetting their timidity when they first tasted it.

"I heard that several merchant ships from the Chamber of Commerce have returned, and they have brought back a lot of goods from the Berdych Kingdom."

"Huh~ That's all good things, and you can believe it, it's more than half cheaper than the goods from the Fez Kingdom!"

"Fuck the Fez, those profiteers who deserve to be gnawed off by the little devils."

"If you sell it at this price to Bingfeng City, it's not a profit!"

"Earning is earning, but also dangerous, I heard that many merchant ships are not familiar with the sea routes, capsized, hit the reef, and were attacked by monsters, and few survived!"

"Hey! Charles, didn't you follow the Ward Chamber of Commerce to Berdych Kingdom? Tell me about it. ”

"That's it, I'm going to set off with the Blue Frost Chamber of Commerce in a few days, Charles, you introduce some experience, and everyone has a long experience."

As they spoke, many people shifted their eyes to a middle-aged man on the side of the tavern, the bulging muscles under the leather armor and the calluses on his hands indicated that this was an experienced and powerful mercenary.

Charles looked around, looking at the anticipation in the eyes of the mercenaries who gathered around, and there was a hint of triumph in his eyes.

He didn't speak, but poured the last bit of ale into his mouth and gently placed it on the table.

Some of the mercenaries immediately understood, and shouted to the waiter:

"Give our esteemed Charles a glass of cold ale, and a seafood platter, hurry up!"

Charles nodded, a look that was pretty much the same.

In fact, for him, a very good mercenary, it was not bad for a glass of wine, but he wanted this kind of respect.

Otherwise, you can't pretend to be forced to lick blood from the knife every day, what's the point?

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Charles slowly spoke:

"In fact, there are many things that you can know once you experience them, and I will call them the most important."

"First of all, it will take almost two months to start from our Ward City and get to Danna Harbor in Berdych Kingdom, even if it is tailwinding."

"That's two months on a ship, and I rarely dock."

"If you're still seasick, it's miserable."

Speaking of this, Charles shuddered slightly, as if he remembered unbearable memories.

"Seasickness, what's that like?"

The people around asked, a little curious.

In the Kingdom of Dillon, because most of the rivers flow to the northern ice fields, there are almost no rivers suitable for navigation, so there are very few mercenaries present who have even taken boats.

"You turn around a hundred times in place, and that's pretty much what it feels like."

Charles continued, and gave his own advice.

"If you really want to take a boat to Berdych Kingdom, why don't you get a boat and experience the feeling of being near the sea."

"Take the boat more, vomit a few more times, and slowly get used to it."

Naturally, everyone did not dare to take Charles's suggestion lightly, and many people began to whisper about the plan.

But more people want to hear Charles continue.

"And what, Charles!"

"What's it like in Berdych Kingdom, I heard that the women there are very plump?"

"Will you run into a sea monster on the way?"

"Haha, don't rush, listen to me slowly."

Charles, who was respected and complimented by everyone, took a sip of mellow cold ale and said with a big grin.

Li Si stood next to him for a while, listening to the mercenary named Charles happily sharing information.

He didn't care about the sea.

Because he was originally a good sailor, in his previous life he was adrift on the Pearl Sea for a while, and even a pirate.

He knows these entry-level common sense very well.

Li Si now wants to find out the dynamics of the many chambers of commerce and aristocratic forces in Ward City.

After all, Ward City will develop quite well in the future, and in a sense, it will also break through the trade blockade of the Fez Kingdom to the Dillon Kingdom.

After mastering the port of Tarro, the connection with Ward City will also be a very important route.

However, the shipping of Ward City is still in the process of exploration, after all, the Kingdom of Dillon did not have any relevant foundation before.

At this moment, the words of the mercenary Charles caught the attention of Lees.

"I don't know about the rest of the place, but the people in Port Tanna in Berdych Kingdom, especially the crew and the Chamber of Commerce, believe in the gods of the Lord of the Storm, the Goddess of the Sea, and the Queen of Drowning."

"It is said that faith can bless the safety of navigation on the sea."

"And the priests of the Church of the Sea Goddess have communicated with our ship, and may send people to Ward City to establish a new church."

"Is that so?"

Most of the mercenaries had a twinkle in their eyes.

The beliefs of the Kingdom of Dillon are occupied by the Ice Goddess and the subordinate gods of his god lineage, and only a few churches of gods such as the Earth Goddess are distributed in the Kingdom of Dillon.

For mercenaries who are shallow believers, having milk is a mother.

If those gods can really bless the safety of sailing on the sea, what does it matter if they convert?

The Church of the Sea Goddess is really fast, no, maybe the other churches have noticed this, but I don't know.

Li Si thought to himself, but he didn't have any special thoughts.

The arrival of those new churches of the gods is naturally good news for Ward City.

Among other things, the most advanced and excellent seamanship and shipbuilding skills were in their hands, and they were sure to show them in order to spread their faith.

In this way, the development of Ward City will undoubtedly be greatly accelerated, which is also a good thing for Lees.

He didn't have that much time to wait for Ward City to develop, and developing Ward City higher would be more beneficial to Den Roe Port in the future.

He doesn't need it now, and there is no conflict with the Church of the Gods.

What's more, he is still a collaborator of King Dillon, so he is not worried at all.

Pushing away the dwarves and orcs huddled together in loud celebrations, Lees made his way through the crowd to the bar of the Mercenary Tavern.

"This guest, don't know what you need?"

Behind the solid wood bar, a male waiter with five big and three thick said in a rough voice.

The Mercenary Guild had just been established, after all, Ward City was the private property of the Ward family before, and others were refused to enter.

That is, after the opening, as the number of mercenaries continued to increase, this mercenary guild and tavern also drove out in a short time.

It seems that the waiter in front of him should have been temporarily replaced, and he shouldn't have done this before.

"Oh, I'm here to deal with Warcraft materials."

Li Si pulled a chair, sat down in front of the bar, looked at the waiter, and said.

The waiter's eyes lit up, and his attitude quickly became much more sincere and enthusiastic.

Generally speaking, mercenaries have gained a lot of Warcraft materials when they venture outside, and most of them will choose to sell them for money, except for some materials that may be used by the mercenaries themselves.

As the official organization of the mercenaries, the Mercenary Guild will naturally buy the materials in the hands of the mercenaries.

However, there are very few people who choose to sell Warcraft materials to the Mercenary Guild, because the Mercenary Guild also acts as a second-hand dealer when purchasing materials, selling the purchased materials to the cooperative chamber of commerce, and the price is naturally very low.

The only advantage is that it's convenient!

After all, those Warcraft materials were obtained by mercenaries risking their lives, and of course they would be careful and concerned about the price.

In order to sell for a higher price, they will even spend more time selling in person at the bazaar, or trading with other mercenaries.

Generally, only when mercenaries need to improve their mercenary level, they will choose to sell the Warcraft materials with corresponding strength to the mercenary guild in order to obtain the recognition of the mercenary guild and increase the mercenary level.

However, the level of mercenaries in different countries is not uniform, and the way to improve the level of mercenaries is not very rigorous.

Because of this, the water in it is relatively large, and it does not truly reflect the strength of the mercenaries.

The best way to prove the strength of a mercenary is through the feats and deeds that have been accomplished.

For example, "Fight off the beast tide alone", such as "Slay the Dragon"!

The male waiter naturally knew that if the handsome young mercenary in front of him really sold the Warcraft materials to the guild, he would also get a certain share of the reward.

Who can say no to cute gold coins?

"Hello sir, I'm Theodore, waiter, and I'm honored to serve you."

"Don't know what you're going to sell?"

Theodore trotted out from behind the bar and appeared in front of Lees and bowed slightly.

If the average mercenary chooses to sell materials, Theodore may have a better attitude, but not so.

Although he has not been a waiter in the Mercenary Guild for a long time, he has seen many mercenaries and has some eyesight.

When he saw Li Si for the first time, although he couldn't say why, he just felt that the young mercenary in front of him was not simple.

Maybe it's because of temperament?

It's much better than the babbling mercenaries in the tavern.,I think it's also a powerful professional.。

Lees didn't care about Theodore's attitude, and waved his left hand lightly.

Boom~

A large pile of Warcraft materials suddenly appeared out of thin air, scattered on the ground in front of the tavern bar.

Bear skins, wolf bones, antlers, mink skins, monster crystal nuclei, etc., are piled up to form a three-meter-high "hill".

There were chaotic and powerful magic fluctuations emanating from it, proving that these were genuine Warcraft materials.

With the appearance of this "hill", the entire mercenary tavern seemed to suddenly be quiet for a moment.

Not far away, there was a mercenary who suddenly noticed that the tavern was quiet, and was whispering to the people around him what happened?

Boy!

Many experienced mercenaries secretly looked at Li Si sitting at the bar with solemn expressions.

There are high-level space storage equipment on the body, and such a large space is extremely valuable.

Charles, who was talking not far away, stopped and looked at the bar.

Lone mercenary?

Where did the ruthless character come from?

Looking at Li Si's indifferent expression and neat and clean clothes, Charles felt a little panicked in his heart.

The feeling of being blocked back halfway through pretending to be forced is like constipation.

But Charles didn't have a seizure, but sat back honestly.

From the heart!

Look like this, alone through the extremely dangerous Correa hills, unscathed, and even in the mood to take care of the clothes.

After confirming the eyes, he is a ruthless person who can't be beaten!
