After transferring several wagons, and half a month later, they finally reached Vichy Harbour, the northernmost tip of the Canary Empire.
In fact, it is not easy to go from old earth to the big 6. At the beginning of each year, and only at the beginning of the year, a trade freighter from Big 6 arrives at Vichy Harbour. The s.h.i.+p will leave after only two days at Vichy Harbour, so in order to avoid missing it, before the month of recovery is when people arrive at Vichy Harbour.
“There are still eight days to go before the month of recovery, and the arrival time of the big six trade freighters is not fixed, eight days at the earliest and 38 days at the latest. So during this period, we stayed in Sea moon City until we leave. ”
After Morrow finished, he took the crowd to the reward guild set up in the middle of the city.
The reward guild is a functional a.s.sociation shared by all knights who follow the rules of the kingdom. The state decrees the task, the knight can take the task in the guild, and receive the corresponding reward.
Morrow brought the crowd to the reward guild, of course, not to take on the task, but because the reward guild has the most luxurious guest houses in the whole sea moon city, as long as you have the money, the service you will receive from the reward guild is complete, which includes accommodation facilities, all the other hotels in the city. It has to be said, this is a money-oriented guild.
As the elder of the Monne family, Morrow carried a lot of gold coins. Morrow also did not value these currencies, when he arrived at the reward guild, he gave all the expenses directly linked to Angel.
“You are free to move these days, but it is best to stay in the guild so that when the s.h.i.+p you can board otherwise no one will come for you. ” After Morrow explained this, he went back to his room and began meditating the whole time.
As soon as they heard that they could move freely, Allen and Irene glanced at each other and burst into great exclamation at the same time. The two rowdy children, felt like prisoners on the lookout, wanting to embrace the air called ‘freedom' at once. Allen's little eyes glowed with excitement, and Irene could not stop jumping, but she paid more attention to Angel, who was standing on one side.
“Brother Pat, let's go out! I have heard that Sea Moon City is the largest trading port in the empire, bringing together the characteristics of various countries; there is also a street specializing in selling goods from other countries, where many people have found treasure! “Irene said to Angel, grabbing him by the arm and dragging it.
Angel looked at Irene with a headache. In nearly a month's journey, everyone has become familiar, Irene is also a lot bolder, the initial shyness has disappeared, aside from refraining from skin contact, the rest of the time she spends acting cute.
Up to now, Angel, no matter how stupid, could see Irene's mind. He is also very inexplicable, obviously only get along for a few days, how can you start to have love in mind, sure enough, the feelings of the girl is difficult to understand ah.
It was just that he was still young and oppressed by the sword of damocles with the five-year contract, such that he could not take care of anything else; therefore, he could only keep his distance from Irene and stay as far away as he can, which was not only to focus on his own responsibilities. But also as a gesture of respect for Irene.
“No, I promised my mentor that I would practice my homework every day. I'll go back to my house first. I'll go next time. Angel gently refused and went back to his room.
Irene cursed from her mouth with some unhappiness, finally stamped her foot, and followed the muddled Allen out of the guild.
When Angel entered the room, he did not immediately take out the training questions a.s.signed by his mentor, but began to observe the room in his spare time.
The room he lived in, on the side of the sea, had a very wide terrace, and standing on the terrace overlooking the busy Vichy harbour in the distance, and the sea s.h.i.+ning with fine waves.
Overlooking the Vichy Harbour like ants shuttling through the ma.s.ses, on the one hand, Angel lamented the prosperity of Sea Moon City, on the other hand, there is a reluctance to adapt to the sudden loneliness.
Looking to the south, through the prairie a hundred miles away, Angel seemed to see the mountains behind the prairie, and the tranquil town hidden in the mountains, the place where he lived for fourteen years, a place called ‘home'.
“Brother, mentor. ” Angel whispered, with a touch of deep melancholy.
In a twinkling of an eye, another ten days or so pa.s.sed.
With the arrival of the month of recovery, the temperature obviously began to rise, the necessary areas of a number of sea routes have begun to thaw, and a large number of ocean-going s.h.i.+ps began to appear in batches in Vichy Harbour.
Morrow hired a team of knights at the reward guild and watched daily at the sea port for trading freighters from Big 6. The Allen brothers and sisters went crazy these days, bought a lot of things they didn't have s.p.a.ce for, went out early and came home late every day, and enjoyed it even in this cold weather.
Angel hasn't been out of the house these days, tidying up his recent gains at the hotel, especially studying the puzzles Jon left him.
These puzzles require a lot of calculation and combine the problems of multiple subjects. If scholars on earth see it, they will marvel at the wide range and difficulty of the subjects involved in this project. Even if each subject does not need to be carefully studied, it will be very difficult to make a breakthrough without the foresight of the spectator.
Jon can give these questions to Angel, which also shows he can see his confidence and value in Angel.
Angel has been calculating since he left Pat Manor. Now, more than a month later, he was frustrated that the riddle had only been 1/4 solved.
But no matter how frustrated he was, he had to solve these puzzles. Because these puzzles have a connection to what his mentor left him. As long as he solves all the questions and gets the final answer, he can know what the mentor left him.
On the second week of the month of recovery, the weather was a rare sunny day. It seemed to express the joy of the deicing ice, and the port was more lively than it had been the on other days. Angel thought of staying at home these days, but it wouldn't hurt to go out for a stroll today.
So after so many days, Angel finally changed into casual clothes, sorted out his appearance, put on the gentle smile of the externally, and stepped out of the room.
The hall of the reward guild is still busy, as soon as you step in here, there is a strong smell of sweat. Most of the knights lick the edge of the knife every day, even if they are female knights, most of them only clean their exposed face, as for the smell of the body. They don't care much.
Angel subconsciously frowned, but soon remembered that this is no longer Grud Town, there is no brother's shade, he is not even an aristocrat, can only be counted as aristocratic family member. With this in mind, Angel's brow spread out again and continued to wear a harmless smile to the people.
In the small restaurant on the side of the hall, he ordered a gla.s.s of Penang Rum and barbecue. Angel dabbled in tasting the wine, though not as good as the milk of the manor, but it had a pungent taste of fermentation.
Angel ate the barbecue, his ears pointed, and listened to the talk of the adventurers around him.
In restaurants where dragons mixed with snakes, it is easiest to hear some unique news. This is the experience that Angel summed up when he listened to Jon tell the story of earth's swordsman novels.
He has too little experience away from home, so he doesn't know whether many of the lessons learned from the book are correct or not. But this did not prevent him from happily snooping into the adventurer's conversation, even if many adventurers were simply bragging.
“Hey, have you heard? Hailan, which is at war with the empire, has recently had a major event! A lot of archdukes died unexpectedly, and very miserably at that, which frightened the guard knights and sent them all in a panic in the middle of the night.”
“The Knights of Light, the first hired order of our guild, have not been seen for months. Tell me, could they have executed the tragedy in Hailan country? “A table of adventurers next to Angel gossiped about the battle of the front thousands of miles away:” Do you remember that six months ago, the Lord of the Imperial Palace personally went to the reward guild that a.s.sa.s.sinated the commander-in-chief of Hailan, I'm guessing? There must be a connection between these two events! ”
The voices of the adventurers are very loud, some in order to show their personal achievements, but also deliberately high sounding voice. So almost the whole restaurant heard the man's voice.
Everyone agrees that one side is the enemy and the other is the employment corps of their own guilds, and their bias is undoubtedly one-sided.
In the hot discussion over the wine, a cold sound like ice interspersed in: “Light Knight order of the Canary?” Well, your knowledge is too shallow, I tell you, the Hailan tragedy is definitely not the work of the Light Knights of canary, their strength is not so powerful! ”
The speaker, wearing a long water-blue dress, embroidered with silver lines, is worth a lot at a glance.
“How can you speak it! ”
“Who are you? Dare you say that about the Light Knights of canary, do you know what the consequences are! ”
Everyone looked at the speaker with fierce eyes.
“Why? It's you again! Don't think that if you take the certificate of the Hailan Chamber of Commerce, you can really run rampant in the Canary Empire! You are a Hailan, come to our country to do business without a good tail, but also dare to enter in, it seems that you do not want to live! A big, reckless man hard of hearing! “
The merchant of Hailan glanced at him, and more than a dozen armed knights immediately surrounded him to protect him.
A rough man is naturally no match for more than a dozen knights, but this is the territory of the Canary Empire. As soon as many knights see the present situation, they immediately stood next to the rough man. Even if the rough man is foolhardy, he is also a man of the Canary Empire. It's not Hailan's turn to teach!
There were about a dozen strong men in armor on both sides, and the atmosphere of the restaurant seemed to have solidified for a moment.
