He had seen Lance's strength, especially the sword he had slashed the orcs to the point that there was no scum left, and his legs trembled a little now when he thought about it.

"Your name is Luca, isn't it? Nice to meet you, you haven't told me how far this is from the Western Front. ”

After Lance calmed down, he said to Luca with a smile.

As Luca narrates, Lance has a lot less dislike for him.

In the two years since he was missing, there must have been a lot of things on the continent of Costana that he didn't know about, and if someone could tell him about it, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Obviously, Luca Zimos is that person.

Seeing the smile on Lance's face, Lukka also smiled and continued: "This is the depths of the western tribal forces, if you want to go to the western front, you will definitely pass through the mercenary fortress, we received the task of chasing and killing the 'red dog' some time ago, and we pursued all the way here, but ......"

With that, Lukka smiled apologetically at Lance and Lilith.

"It's okay, you continue. ”

Just when Lukka was about to continue talking, Lance suddenly thought of something, now he doesn't know much about his strength level, he only knows that he has broken through the high-level realm now, if he goes to the mercenary union, he can verify his martial arts monk level, register as a mercenary by the way, and then on the way to find Ike, do some tasks to earn some money.

If you want to mix well on the Kstana continent, in addition to having strength and accidents, you must also have money, otherwise it is inconvenient to do anything.

Lance touched the dozens of silver coins he had found on Red Dog's body and continued to listen to Luca's story.

"Although the red dog has been killed this time, there is no proof of completing the task now, alas...... This trip is kind of blind!"

"Huh...... Why don't we go to the Mercenary Fortress together? I just want to register as a mercenary. ”

"Really? haha...... Great, when the time comes, we can form a mercenary group together, and with your strength, you can definitely mix well in the mercenary fortress. ”

Lance didn't bother with Luca's chatter anymore, and now that he had someone who knew the road to lead the way, he didn't worry about going the wrong way.

In this way, the group of three began to walk together.

Four days later, after killing a few short-eyed monsters on the way, the three of them came to the legendary mercenary holy land - the mercenary fortress very smoothly.

The area of the Mercenary Fortress is not very large, it is only the size of a small and medium-sized city-state in the Southern Kingdom.

Except for some Southern Kingdom-style buildings in the inner city, the buildings in other outlying places are a bit dilapidated and old.

Although the name of this place is a mercenary fortress, it does not look like a fortress at all.

According to Luca Zimos, the inner city is the territory of the mercenary union, and all mercenary tasks must be posted in the mercenary union, and mercenary tasks must also be registered with the mercenary union.

However, any mission that has not been registered with the Mercenary Guild will not be protected by the Mercenary Guild.

In the outer city, it is mainly some retired mercenaries or merchants who run some taverns or shops, of course, there are also some mercenaries who will set up stalls on the streets, selling the fruits of their adventures, although this is not as safe as trading at the trading points set up by the mercenary union, but it is better not to be taken a lot of money by the mercenary union.

The most common of these items sold are tools and consumables that adventurers must have.

If you're lucky, you'll also run into mercenaries who are short of money selling precious Warcraft cores or magic equipment, but of course, there aren't many such cases.

The mercenary union will never care about the transactions in the outer city, and they will only send a certain number of mercenaries to maintain the normal law and order in the outer city.

Before entering the Mercenary Fortress, Lance asked Luca Zimos if there was a place in the city that sold women's swordsman suits.

He was going to give Lilith a change of equipment, after all, her black gauze was too eye-catching in such a place, and it was easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

Soon, led by Luca Zimos, the three of them spent ten silver coins in a shop in the outer city, and Lance bought a common swordsman's suit and a wide cloak for Lilith.

Originally, Lance himself wanted to buy a set to replace his slightly shabby clothes, but now he was shy in his pocket, so he gave up, anyway, he was already used to it, and it was summer, so it was okay to wash casually before going to bed.

After changing her clothes, Lilith has a little more heroic spirit as a swordsman, and with the long sword she picked up, she is a heroic swordsman.

"Well, that's good. ”

Lance looked at Lilith and sighed.

"Really? ”

"You look good in whatever you wear, you have superhuman talent, I'll explain to you the fighting skills when I have time, and then the two of us can go to the end of the world together with a sword." Haha......"

At this time, Lance was in a good mood, especially Lilith's obedience to him, which made him feel a little sweeter in his heart.

Talented men and women, consensual, the relationship between the two began to ferment rapidly after they walked out of the abyss.

It's just that the two who have never tasted the taste of love don't quite understand their subtle emotions at this time.

At this moment, Luca Zimos, who was waiting on the side, quipped: "You are really a natural match, I am a little envious when I see it, hehe...... I'll take you to eat something, the tavern is not far from the front, I often go there to drink, although the environment is not very good, but in such a place, it is very good to be able to eat a hot meal, drink some strong. ”

As he spoke, Luca Zimos had already walked out of the store.

The streets of the outer city of the Mercenary Fortress are narrow, but they are very crowded.

On every face here, there is either a sense of exhaustion or a look of excitement.

All kinds of expressions are telling about the gains or losses of their mercenary missions.

Since Lilith's appearance has been obscured by the cloak, she didn't get into any trouble along the way.

There are too many people dressed like them here.

Maybe they saw it today, and they might have died in the mercenary mission tomorrow, so no one paid attention to them.

Walking out of the main road of the outer city, the group passed through several narrow alleys, and Lance and the others finally came to the tavern that Luca Zimos had mentioned.

The tavern is tucked away in a dark, damp alley, but there are still plenty of people here.

Even through the tavern door, you can still hear the noise in the tavern.

"Let's go, this is the tavern I'm talking about, it's not in good condition, but it's cheap, hehe......"

Luca Zimos had already pushed open the door to the tavern as he spoke.

Suddenly, a thick choking wave floated out.

Lilith frowned and covered her mouth and nose as she looked a little uncomfortable, but Lance was extremely excited after smelling the smell of tobacco and alcohol for a long time.

He dragged Lilith and followed Luca Zimos into the tavern.

The tavern is a small tavern, there are four or five tables in it, there are already three tables around a lot of people drinking and chatting, although there are two windows near the alley in the hall, but the tavern is in the alley, so the light is still a little dim, in the wall of the hall, there are a few torches, which makes the tavern a little stuffy.

Luca Timus beckoned Lance and the two to sit down at an empty table, and then asked the boss for some food and drink, and it was clear that Luca Timus was the host.

The three of them chatted casually, and the tavern owner brought the food and drink up.

The food was simple, three cups of somewhat cloudy ale, three bowls of steaming bean sauce soup, some dry bread and a smoked chicken.

Langston had an appetite when he looked at the food he hadn't seen for a long time, and Lilith had never seen such food before, and she also looked at Lance with drooling, waiting expectantly for him to say that he could eat it.

Lance glanced at Lilith with a smile, placed the glass of ale in front of her, and said, "Give me this, you can taste this." ”

Lance then picked up a piece of dry bread, dipped it in the soy sauce soup, and fed it to Lilith.

"Wow...... It's delicious. ”

After taking a bite, Lilith couldn't hold it back, and ate it without any image at all.

Lance looked at Lilith and smiled, ignoring her.

Lance then picked up his glass, touched it with Luca Zimos, and took a big sip.

Although the wine is not a good wine, the feeling that he has not experienced for a long time makes him feel comfortable.

"Thank you, Luca. ”

"Hi...... Brother Lance is polite, if we form our own mercenary team in the future, then we will be a family! Let's not talk to each other as a family, don't be polite to me, brother, come on, come on, after such a long journey, eat something first. ”

"Okay, then you're welcome, haha......"

With that, Lance continued to take a sip of the rest of the wine before he began to feast.

The three of them quickly swept away the food on the table.

Just as Lance and Lilith were both satisfied, a deep, deep voice rang out from the door.

"Yo...... Isn't this Luka? What's the matter? You're the only one who escaped this time?"

Lance followed the prestige, and the person who spoke was a burly swordsman, and the sword he was carrying was a heavy blunt sword with a handle of one foot wide and five feet long, and the sword body was black all over it, and at a glance it was not ordinary.

He was followed into the tavern by a short, sharp-eyed assassin and a handsome elven archer with a warm smile.

A few people walked straight up to Lance's table and sat down unceremoniously.

"Hey...... Do you have a new friend?

After the visitor sat down, he asked after glancing at Lance and Lilith.

His gaze lingered on Lilith for a few more moments, obviously amazed by Lilith's beauty, but there was no aggression in his eyes.

"Brother Quels, you just came back from a mission, look at your happy appearance, this trip must be a good harvest, let me introduce you, this is my new friend, the strength is quite good, this is Lance, this is Lilith. ”

Lukka smiled at Quiles, and simply introduced Lance and Lilith to the two.

After several people nodded to each other, they could be regarded as acquaintances.

Then Lukka opened his voice and shouted to the tavern owner, "Boss, bring some more food and ale, hurry up, Brother Quarles pays." ”

"Okay. ”

After Luca Zimos briefly introduced Quiles to the two of Lance, they began to have some more polite greetings.
