Chapter 14 Conora City
The city of Conora is located at the border of the Kamos Kingdom, but it is surrounded by mountains on the west, and the small wasteland of Aigma (the wasteland that Punk passed through) on the east, and there are canals flowing through it, so the transportation is very convenient. Convenience, it can be said that its geographical location can be attacked and defended, so it is an out-and-out strategic location. Although the area where the Kamos Kingdom is located is barren and there has been no war for many years, it has been in conflict with Di in recent years. The relationship between the Kingdom of Lun is tense, and the south of Conora is the junction with the Kingdom of Dylan, so there are many more garrisons in Conora City.
Punk and Kane walked towards the city gate together. There was a huge crimson flag hanging directly above the city gate. A rather abstract griffin was decorated on the flag. The flag fluttered in the wind, looking very imposing. The 20-meter-high city wall is made of large blocks of granite, and there are many deep scratches caused by sharp weapons on it. With the sharp-edged stone bricks on the city wall, a strong historical The breath rushed over.
At the gate of the city, some people and businessmen who came in and out were waiting in line for inspection by the soldiers. The soldiers were all big and very rude. They asked for bribes from the people who entered the city without any disguise. The "paid" bribe failed to satisfy the guard, so he was pushed to the ground, and the guard kicked the old man's leg cursingly.
And there is a smaller side door next to the main entrance of the city wall, which seems to be used only for nobles and professionals to enter and exit. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the main door, the side door is much cleaner, and ordinary poor people are far away from it. , there was only an old man dressed as a soldier sitting on a wooden chair, who seemed to be the gatekeeper of the side door. Punk made a rough perception and found that the old man who was sipping a drink was an apprentice soldier of about the first level. Judging from his age, he belongs to the type with no hope of promotion.
"I don't want to stand in line here for half a day. Now I just want to go to the city and find a big place to have a meal. Go in there quickly. That old man must not have the guts to stop him." Kane stretched his waist, pointed to the side door and said.
Punk actually had the same thought in his mind, so he walked towards the side door with his staff in hand.
The old gatekeeper saw a man dressed as a mage and a man dressed as a knight approaching, stood up quickly, and took out a piece of parchment from his arms. He raised his head and took another sip of wine, and stood in the middle of the gate.
Seeing this scene, Punk's face became gloomy. Seeing the old man's posture, he seemed to want some "favor fee", but Punk only had five gold coins on him now, although for an ordinary family, one gold coin is already half a year's expenses , but it can be said to be extremely rare for punks who want to learn knowledge as soon as possible. He doesn't seem to be wasting "benefit fees" for no reason.
"If that old man asks me for money, I will shoot him and run away"! Kane next to him had an even more indignant expression on his face. The money on him was almost gone, and the week-long journey turned this impatient guy into an active volcano. Now he saw his destination but was about to be killed. The greedy guard stopped him, anyone would have the urge to beat someone up.
Punk didn't think he would be made things difficult. After all, he and Kane were both level 4 professionals (upgrading quickly in the early stage), so it would be unwise to offend two level 4 professionals just for a little money. An old churro fighter should understand this.
Sure enough, the old man didn't ask for money like the soldiers at the gate. He just asked Punk and Kane to register their occupations and levels, without even asking for their names. When he was working, the old man dropped all the parchment on the ground in shock.
Seeing the "unbelievable" expression on the old man's face, Kane strode triumphantly into the city gate with his peak apprentice-level power, and deliberately made the armor on his body smack, completely ignoring Punk's contemptuous eyes.
Entering the city, a city scene full of medieval characteristics is displayed in front of punk.
As a "heavy military city", in order to facilitate the deployment of troops, the roads in Conola are paved with gravel. In the humid tender season, moss grows on the side of the gravel road. The city has added a lot of green. Opposite the city gate is a market, many shops are written with popular shop names in large characters, usually the name of the shop owner plus the items they sell, such as Xibake Clothing Shop, Guge Fresh Butcher Shop, etc. , Many merchants who have not rented shops also set up small stalls on the roadside to sell their products to everyone passing by. Although the distribution of various shops is chaotic, it gives people a feeling of prosperity.
"I said dude, what's your plan next?" Kane patted Punk's shoulder with his hand, looking like an "iron buddy" talking about everything, but Punk avoided it with a wrong step, "What do you have?" Intend"? Punk didn't answer, he asked Kane back.
"I~, I'm going to the Adventurer's Guild to start my adventure career as a super-great Kane knight." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the lively food vendor, "but now~ Eat a big meal first, and reward yourself~"
"Then, goodbye," Punk finished, turned and walked to another relatively deserted street.
"Bye bye~~" Kane waved his hand casually without looking back, and began haggling happily with the vendor owner.
--------Dividing line--------
Punk is actually very happy about parting ways with Kane, because although Kane looks very careless on the surface, he seems carefree and "sunny", but in fact he is a smart and cold-blooded person, Punk is looking at people This aspect is still very accurate, especially for someone like Kane who is very similar to himself in his bones. Although you don’t have to worry about this teammate being stupid when cooperating with this kind of person, the efficiency of cooperating with things is absolutely guaranteed, but in the process of cooperating. Guard against each other, otherwise, as long as there are enough interests, two people who were good brothers who lived and died together one second, will definitely pull out a knife and stab each other in the heart in the next second, so punks are more willing to cooperate with people in the good camp. After all, as long as you behave hypocritically, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by your teammates. At critical moments, those "just knights" will "sacrifice their lives for righteousness" or something, which can be said to be the best quality meat shields.
Punk is now walking straight to a very iconic building, the assembly hall with a tall spire and real "green bricks and green tiles" building materials, that house is the countless members of the Masters' Union One of the branches, the flag on the roof is printed with a nine-petal purple flower, which is the symbol of the Mage Union - the flower of Vimis, although I don't know why the Mage Union wants to turn the whole branch green , but the conspicuous and publicized magic wave still made Punk confirm from a few miles away—this is the Mage Guild.
