Chapter 57: The Valency Fortress
After dawn, Larry led Savin and Eliza to find the lost team, and from the expressions of the others, it could be seen that those people probably didn't sleep all night to find Larry, and everyone had a tired look on their faces. Larry apologized to everyone apologetically, everyone waved their hands and said they didn't dare to do it, and then a group of people hid to the side to discuss something, Savin and Eliza knew that this was an internal matter of the mercenary group, and they didn't want to inquire about anything.
By the time Larry and the others had finished their discussions, Larry came over to Savin and Eliza and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long. The two waved their hands to indicate that it was nothing, and Larry continued, "We've discussed it, let's get up and go on the road." ”
The group cleaned up, and then began to walk down the hill under the leadership of Larry. Sawan was still carrying Eliza on his back, and the others covered their mouths and snickered when they saw it, making their faces flushed, and Larry asked with concern, "Miss Eliza, do you have any injuries on your feet?"
Eliza nodded and said, "My feet are worn out and it hurts to walk, so ...... Sawan carried me on his back ...... "Later, Eliza was so ashamed that she hid her face behind Savin's back.
Larry looked at Eliza's feet, thought thoughtfully for a moment, and then said, "I think it's probably because of your shoes, your shoes are not suitable for long journeys, and your clothes, which must be stuffy in such clothes." When I first met you, I thought it was a little strange, such an outfit should be a sailor on a voyage, not quite like the clothes that are common on the mainland......"
As Larry gushed, Samin looked back at Eliza and thought he was so stupid, it was the clothes and shoes that made it so hard for them to get up and work.
Larry then said, "When you get to Valency City, I'll take you to change into your costumes, you are not suitable for action on land." ”
"Then there's Big Brother Laura Rui. Eliza said with a smile that Larry was as comfortable as a spring breeze.
While Eliza and Larry were chatting, Savan's eyes fell on the others, who were intrigued by the outfits of the mercenaries. The number of mercenaries on the mainland is huge, there are many large and small mercenary groups, such as the White Griffin Mercenary Group can only be regarded as a small mercenary group, both combat effectiveness and financial resources can not be compared with those large mercenary groups, it can be seen from the equipment of these people, everyone's equipment is different, some people wear shabby leather armor, some people wear half-pulled chain mail, and the weapons used are also everything, long swords, short knives, bows and arrows can be seen, it looks very casual.
However, Sawin didn't understand this, and only thought that all kinds of armor and weapons were very interesting, and he thought that he must have such a suit of armor himself, which must be very imposing. Seeing that Savin had been looking at him curiously, the mercenaries couldn't help but ask, "Young man, what are you staring at me all the time?"
Sawin blushed, smiled embarrassedly and said, "I think the armor you wear is quite interesting, but I don't understand, is there anything special about these armors?"
A middle-aged man laughed when he heard Savan's words, he pointed to the leather armor on his body and asked, "Do you like this leather armor very much?"
Sawin nodded and said, "Well, I'd like to wear this armor too." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Silly boy, this thing is worthless, do you still think it is a good thing?"
Sawin asked puzzled, "I look good, I look very powerful." ”
"It's useless just to look at it, the key depends on the effect of actual combat, let me tell you, good armor has a magic effect, ordinary leather armor like ours can only block an ordinary sword, if you encounter the other party using a sword with a magic effect, this kind of broken leather armor will not be useful at all......" The middle-aged mercenary said in a tone that was obviously not satisfied with the current situation.
Larry's face was a little gloomy when he heard this, and he said to the middle-aged man in a deep voice: "Nelson, I remember that your leather armor was only given to you last year, and it broke down so quickly, could it be that you didn't maintain it well?"
The middle-aged mercenary Nelson smiled a little awkwardly when he heard this, although he joined the mercenary group much earlier than Larry, but he was the lieutenant of the regiment leader, even if he was dissatisfied, he had to give Larry some face. Nelson and the others are resentful Larry is naturally very clear, after all, they haven't received a big task for several months, and this trip has run away in vain, and no one can be happy in their hearts, but it's not good to complain in front of outsiders, this is a matter of face for the mercenary group.
However, it is also one of the adjutants' responsibilities to appease everyone's emotions, so Larry reassured: "Don't worry, when this mission is completed, everyone will definitely make a small fortune at that time." ”
Nelson is an old fritter among the mercenaries, and when he saw Larry say this, he hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope and said: "Adjutant, don't worry, everyone will try their best to do this task well, we are a dignified white griffin mercenary group." ”
The others also echoed: "That's right, that's right, there is no task in the world that our White Griffin Mercenary Group can't do. ”
Sawin and Eliza couldn't help but feel a little excited when they saw the crowd in high spirits and shouted slogans loudly, and they were also infected by this warm atmosphere. While everyone was not paying attention, Sawin whispered to Eliza, "You said it would be nice if we joined the mercenary group too, and we could travel everywhere with others." ”
Eliza was also a little excited, she also thought it would be fun to be with a lot of people, "Why don't we ask Big Brother Larry later and see if he can let us join the mercenary group as well." Eliza whispered into Savan's ear.
Larry, who was not far away, saw the intimacy of the two, and felt uncomfortable for no reason.
There are still about three days to go from here to Valency City, and Larry and the others have found a pre-arranged camp from the mountain, where several mercenary group members are responsible for guarding it. After the people had made peace, they began to remove their tents, and when they had packed up everything, they got up and set out on the road. Larry and the others each had horses, while Savin and Eliza sat in a carriage carrying goods, and a group of a dozen or so marched leisurely along the road north.
Along the way, Adjutant Larry rode most of the time by the carriage and chatted with Savin and Eliza all the way. Larry introduced a lot of things to the two of them on the continent, and also told countless stories about his own experience as a mercenary, and finally talked about Savin's behavior when he taught the goblins.
Larry asked Savien: "Savien, what spell did you use to deal with the goblin bandits that day, and why have I never seen it?" What Larry said, if he had been put in the past few days, he would definitely not have said it, it is not a good habit to inquire about other people's details, especially when it comes to topics such as spells, generally speaking, magicians are very taboo about such questions, but after a few days of getting along, Larry's relationship with Swain and Eliza has also become much closer, and Larry sees that both of them are very simple, so he must not blame himself for this.
Sawin smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, but I didn't use any spells that day, just simple fists. ”
"What?" Larry was taken aback, he didn't expect that Sawan was just using his fist that day, but it was so fast that he couldn't even see clearly, which was too exaggerated, and he thought it was some kind of spell.
Larry asked, somewhat disbelieving, "Is it really just a fist?"
Eliza also said on the side: "Sawan doesn't know how to spell, he can only beat people with his fists." Eliza's words, Larry is completely unconditionally believed, this time he was even more surprised, there are many people on the mainland who are strong in martial arts, but he has never seen a situation where the punch speed is so fast that he can't see it clearly, what is the origin of this Savan?
Larry made up his mind that after meeting the head of the group, he must let him test Sawin's true martial arts in person, if it is genuine, maybe he can consider absorbing him into the group, and then he can also absorb Eliza in the boat. As soon as Larry thought of this, his heart was hot, and he couldn't wait to rush to Valency City right away.
"Everyone, work hard, and get to Valency as soon as possible!" said Larry, cheering loudly on his horse.
The city of Valency is located in a very difficult position, there was originally only one fortress here, and during the prosperous years of the port of Anders, a large number of caravans passed through Valency fortress every day to Anders, and a large number of caravans passed through Anders to carry goods to various places. The prosperity of the trade routes also led to the towns along the route, and the Valenci fortress gradually became a lively city.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, when the port of Anders fell, Valency also became deserted, the caravans were greatly reduced, so that the economy here became worse and worse, people have moved to other places, only a few people choose to stay, and now Valency City has gradually reduced to an underground black market trading stronghold, except for illegal merchants, generally few regular caravans come to trade.
Savin and Eliza's first impression of Valency City was not very good, but a high earth slope was staring at a wall made of stones, which had fallen into disrepair and many of the stones had fallen off, revealing the rammed earth below, which looked both deplorable and vicissitudes. Sawan even doubted that such a wall would be able to withstand his own impact, hoping that the city would be a different scene. Savin and Eliza suddenly felt that they had seen a different side of the human world.
