- Gushan City is a large city in the south of Tuminis. As the residence of a duke, it has convenient transportation in all directions. The route leading here from Liaodun in the northwest is the most prosperous one. Gushan serves as the hub connecting Deep Water and Romandy, a good port in the southeast, because of the role of this road.
Mercenary Road is a common name given by travelers to the nearest road to Gushan City. The reason is simply that this road through the forest is spacious and flat, and there is a cool breeze blowing even in the hot summer. Therefore, it is most suitable for people like mercenaries who need to be fully armed to move forward
In fact, mercenaries can often be seen here After all, in this world, humans are far from becoming the masters of nature. Deadly magic and terrifying monsters are what travelers must be prepared to deal with at all times. Dangerous situations, and those rural areas far away from main roads and cities are more dangerous than people in cities can imagine. Even those farms or fields that are only one day away from the city may have monsters running rampant - the cycle may be one and a half years, or it may be ten or eight years.
Therefore, there are always some lucky people who can be promoted from ordinary farmers to mercenaries in such encounters. In order to gain wealth and fame, hundreds of "gold diggers" run around every year in places that may make them famous. , looking for opportunities. Even if this kind of encounter is like a big wave crashing into the sand, it will tear the beautiful dreams of a large number of ignorant young people into pieces together with their bodies, or poke a big hole.
Now, on the Mercenary Avenue, another group of mercenaries are ushered in.
Prosperous plants gather into sparse woods on both sides of the road, and there are tree shades on both sides of the road. White birches and tall beech trees grow in an orderly manner. The canopy of the trees blocks out the sky, allowing the sun that is approaching noon to loom among the forest leaves. In the cool breeze, a dozen horsemen and mercenaries are leisurely surrounded by a four-person carriage. Walking through this peaceful beauty, walking through the scattered light spots
In fact, except for the dozens of heavily armed men around it, the appearance of this carriage is not that eye-catching - the white painted walls appear smooth and flat, and the complicated lace posted on the edge of the wall seems to have just faded from fashion. shape. The coats of the two horses pulling the cart were all matted. Only obedience and dexterity are desirable. The wheels plodded across the gravel road, and the sound of the horses' hooves echoed into a light rhythm, which was a bit beautiful.
"Edward, shouldn't we hire a more luxurious carriage? If you want to show off your style?"
In the carriage, the half-elf lady stretched out her hand and peeled an orange, stuffed a piece of orange meat into her mouth, and then handed the rest to the other side, giggling: "You are now the censor of His Majesty the King."
Edward took the fruit casually, but his eyes just stayed outside the car window for a moment.
Compared with the desolate Xifeng city. It was obviously much more prosperous here, or so the saying goes, water is the mother of life. It is universal no matter which world it is in. The closer it is to the Sea of ??Glory, the more prosperous and powerful the human city-states will be. so
There was no trouble along the way. After all, it is rumored that the Rettger family that rules this area has a head with a good reputation. The Duke of Greenland Retteg is very strict in his rule. Even in the most remote places in his territory, it is difficult to see soldiers like those in Xifengyi. Scene of the gangster family.
¡ª¡ª
"It's so boring. Why care about these little bugs? Just crush them to death." Dahni interjected. Then he stretched out his arms and took a long stretch:
Ms. Drow did not use mithril chain mail and heavy priest robes to disguise herself. Instead, she wore a women's dress cut from fine spider silk, which was light and close to the body. The lazy movements allowed that curvy body to be fully exposed. Even if a silver mask is used to cover her face, it will not reduce the charm of beauty in the slightest
Especially the towering and trembling part is enough to attract the eyes of most men in the world and make it difficult to leave.
But it¡¯s a pity that the man in this carriage is not included in the majority
Edward's eyes stayed there for a moment. However, it did not settle down. For him, the carcass was already very familiar to him, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Frant, Lieutenant, Lane, who is sitting next to Edward
His eyes just glanced over the smooth fabric. The little guy's face turned red as if on fire, and he lowered his head in a hurry. In fact, he couldn't do it without lowering his head, because not far away, a pair of smart eyes were staring at him fiercely. The fierce look on his face was enough to remind him of some unpleasant feelings.
"That, thatMiss Lisa, II didn't see anything" After a pause, he secretly raised his gaze and whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito's.? explained.
This act of not having three hundred taels of silver in this place naturally caused Zhuoer to giggle. It also made the half-elf even more angry: "What an idiot Edward is right he has big breasts and no brains!"
The half-elf's clothing is the emerald green and white elf clothing she wore when she first met Edward The long, exquisite skirt that hangs down to her ankles, with exquisite embroidery patterns, makes her look like a beautiful woman. She is an extremely cute little socialite - if she hadn't puffed out her cheeks and squinted her eyes, then it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a delicate and cute little princess.
????????????????????????? Well, perhaps the word awkward is really just right to describe her His eyes swept over the two eye-catching satin-wrapped bundles not far away, and the lady's sneer immediately went up a notch.
"Hey, rotten melon, can't you restrain your slutty look? Don't forget that this is not Burgundy. Let people see any flaws. We are all going to get into trouble. We don't want to treat you like this. Just take it out for the barbecue and you¡¯ll be done with it!¡±
"What does it matter? Isn't this a place where humans are densely populated yet? I'm not you, this little thing won't trouble me."
"Drow responded lazily, but his eyes stopped at the scenery outside the window For a dark elf, everything on the ground is novel enough for her, especially the almost countless vegetation. There are also ever-changing ecological forms active in it. With the help of the smoky crystal piece on the mask, she could observe all of this without any hindrance. Her enthusiasm made her completely ignore the verbal attacks of her little opponent.
"What an idiot. I think you will die on your pile of rotten meat sooner or later." The other party's absent-mindedness will obviously make the little girl even more angry: "You have to follow me even though you are so conspicuous. I don't know what I am thinking. Brainless!"
"There's nothing wrong with having big breasts. Although a woman's figure is not the most important thing, I'm afraid no one wants a woman without a figure. Have you never thought about why Edward still refuses to touch you?"
"Nonsense! We value relationships so we cherish them. Forget it, drows like you can't understand the difference anyway. They are all hooking up with each other like wild beasts. If they get tired of it, they might be abandoned one day Poor of rotten papaya.¡±
"What did you say? You vicious-mouthed brat! Be careful, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"I didn't expect that I can't even understand the common language. Have all the nutrients been absorbed by the pair of papayas? You cow in heat? Oh, by the way, I forgot that I was talking to a man who is more than a hundred years old. It¡¯s normal for elderly people to talk and have memory loss, isn¡¯t it, grandma?¡±
"Would you two be quiet for a while?" before becoming more aggressive. Edward intervened in this sterile argument and patted the red-faced little noble next to him. He found something to do for these two boring women: "Lisa, the people of the Ziyi Sect, don't you have any solution for the matter in Gushan City?"
"The Brown Faction of the Mixed Blood Association only has prestige. Most of them are just a combination of businessmen and ordinary squires. They do not have very strong power or influence. These people in your territory are already what my father can mobilize. It¡¯s the limit.¡±
He curled his lips. The half-elf lady made a 'count your luck' expression, and then explained boringly: "The current upper-level decisions of the Mixed-blood Association are basically voted on by twelve elders. The brown-clothed faction only has two seats. It can't be a real helper. And even if these so-called elders make a decision, they won't have much restraint on those mud-legged people. At worst, they can just let them gowell, it's useless anyway."
"Their elders don't have a leader?"
"They are what is called open discussion. Those old guys like this very much"
"Idiot." Edward commented in a simple word.
This evaluation is somewhat arbitrary. However, it is obviously not wrong because sometimes, when a bunch of smart people get together, the things they come up with may be even more idiotic than one idiot.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out
And as a leader. This organization has more than a dozen upper-level officials, and this has been the case for many years. Everything must be done through consultation Power is neither centralized nor dispersed. It has always been controlled by a limited number of people. Probably what they pay attention to is to ensure that they are evenly matched. Containment, but the result of this is that nothing has been accomplished for many years In fact, whether it is democracy or dictatorship, it is just a structure of the organization, but it is an idiotic thing to let it interfere with the normal operation of the organization. Nowadays, the main purpose of this mixed-blood society has been torn apart, and the base at the lower level is almost gone. They are still competing for the so-called reputation of the upper level, which can only bring defeat¡ª¡ª
"That's right"??They are just idiots. Just like this time, my dad was busy in Gushan City for a while, mobilizing these idiots to leave. However, some people happened to stir up uneasiness among them and spread the idea that the homeland is difficult to move. With a few words, those guys took his money but remained motionless They suspected that the same organization had begun to form within the mixed-blood society, and it was they who had been carrying out sabotage activities. "
The half-elf lady showed an expression that said, "The hero sees the same thing."
"What kind of organization?"
"I don't know Almost all the better half-elves, those who believe in His Majesty, have arrived in your city. The remaining guys, huh, engage in smuggling, kidnapping, extortion, filth, loan sharking, gambling and robbery they don't do anything. Why? In fact, I have been trying to persuade my old man to give up on them, but he has always refused.
The gang is a place where people are mixed. They don't care about identity, but only pursue ability. It is a suitable place for half-elves, who are relatively embarrassed by their status, to settle down. Therefore, the Thorns faction in the mixed-blood society is engaged in similar things. ,
Things may be a little troublesome this time.
After all, it is necessary to take away a considerable number of people, for any lord. Population is an extremely important resource and cannot be taken away easily. After all, population is tax, which is the foundation of the lords. If it is a sporadic migration of three to five hundred people, or the local government can turn a blind eye. He passed by blindly. But this time is different.
"Twenty thousand people, among them are not just half-elves, but also some humans related to half-elves. Even if they are all civilians, they are still a fortune. But now there are still some merchants and craftsmen.
Edward did have legitimate qualifications. He just used the communication crystal to get an edict signed by His Majesty the King from James. However, in this era, the title of His Majesty the King is not necessarily so glorious. No one in the world dares to disobey the emperor's orders. This can be accomplished not only by the feudal system, but also by at least an extremely centralized autocratic government. It will take thousands of years for it to become deeply ingrained.
For a god, believers are very important.
There is a simple metaphor, that is, believers are to gods as gold coins are to businessmen.
The number of gods is extremely large, which seems to be determined by the power structure of this universe. As long as they possess divinity, even low-level existences such as soft-bodied creatures may become a god although the chance is slim. But it is not equal to zero. For example, in the Underdark. That ancient ooze god Ghaunadaur,
But if a god wants to have power and perform miracles, he needs believers who believe in him to provide him with the power of faith. Countless years ago, many gods competed with each other for believers, especially those with overlapping areas of jurisdiction. The conflicts were fierce. Religious wars, large and small, lasted for thousands of years. Countless gods fell, and countless strong and lucky ones died. Get divinity. Become a new god and join this protracted war.
This situation lasted until the emergence of the existing pantheon of gods, and then slowly ended - although it was just that the gods left the plane and no longer did it themselves. But most of them never choose to give up in the fight for believers.
Of course, he didn't trust this so-called dark lady. After all, although gods have a human-like side, they can no longer be considered humans. According to Edward's understanding, things that are far more powerful than ordinary people are nothing more than monsters They considered The level of things has long transcended ordinary people's conventions, and is no longer bound by so-called common sense.
He no longer has to worry about those mortals. Anyway, except for the Archmage, no one can really threaten him. However, the improvement in power level has not made the enemies fewer. On the contrary, it has made more troublesome beings become There are new targets to watch out for
The power of a god, even if it is just a demigod, is enough to transcend mortal beings. Divine energy is the most powerful energy in this multiverse. Even if the Blazing God is powerful, it is just one of the species on the Heavenly Mountain. It is not the same as the real one. Compared with other gods, there must be some shortcomings in strength.
With her help, things will obviously become simpler.
Of course, Edward will not rashly put everything on the promise of a god. After all, he has heard of stories about gods that make devout believers take the blame, not to mention that he is still not sure whether this dark goddess is a keeper. Gods in the field of order - the gods in this world are not very powerful, or their gods will restrict some of their actions, but it is difficult to guarantee The drow goddess Rose is a typical negative representative.
Throughout the city, there is a kind of roughness without any cultural temperament or implicitness.??Breath. However, no one seems to care about the endless flow of people and noisy streets. Instead, it shows a unique vitality that belongs directly to this place.
Just as Edward was observing this different scenery with interest, the noise around him suddenly changed.
Amidst the sound of rolling hooves, a small group of knights galloped toward the convoy from the street ahead. Far away, a young knight in the lead shouted loudly: "Stop the car, Gushan City Guards, the city lord ordered to inspect the convoy!"
The commanding tone in the shout made the Psion frown. His eyes flashed and he noticed that the leading young knight was wearing a half-length steel armor with a hint of blue. This kind of exquisite armor was because of The defensive power is second only to the full-body warrior steel armor and knight armor, but the weight is greatly reduced. It can be regarded as a medium-range armor. As for this guy's armor, every piece of armor is extremely neat and shiny, shining with oil. It turned out to be an enchanted piece of equipment.
And the sky blue bottom coat under his armor is made of high-quality Gastrodia elata. A silk white shirt can be seen in the wide, high-rising neck protector, ironed to a crisp. He doesn't look like a soldier, but rather looks like a noble nobleman
It can be regarded as an average-to-medium-range armor, and every piece of armor on this guy's body is extremely neat and shiny. It turned out to be an enchanted piece of equipment.

Guild members are well-trained and skilled in covert operations, strategic means, and situation judgment. They have excellent weapons and equipment, and those who need to use portals in their work often double as spellcasters, or are at least trained in basic spellcasting abilities. - Didn't finish reading?
