357. The Guide

In the next few days, Sean moved along the sidelines of the Principality of North Longs. He would not enter villages and towns at will except for basic procurement. But what made Sean very depressed was that the situation along the way was too calm, and he didn't even encounter a wild beast, let alone the likes of Warcraft.

Without fighting, Sean discovered that not to mention absorbing the power of void, even his body would not be able to recover to the lower silver. This greatly slowed down his strength growth progress. This was not the result Sean wanted, especially after discovering how to quickly restore his strength, Sean really didn't want to continue to grow inefficiently.

After a brief thought, Sean decided to enter the Principality of North Lens.

Because he found that continuing to move along the border line like this was not a solution. After all, the northern lonely tower is located further north of the Northern Duchy Federation. If he does not use the teleportation magic array, he will not be able to reach it for four months, not to mention four months, even a year.

Lahn City is a border city chosen by Sean in the Principality of North Lens.

The city was originally established as a fortress fortress, but after the establishment of the Northern Principal Federation, a relatively long period of peace came. During this period of peace, the fortress fortress became a symbol of friendship with the Principality of North Lance, so the relevant defense facilities were ordered to be dismantled. Until later, the conflicts between the Principality of various principalities were reopened. However, a certain degree of prosperity and commerciality and plasticity had been developed in the fortress, so the fortress was converted into a fortress city.

This is the Principality of North Lance. Its defense strength and city scale are second only to that of the large city below the royal capital, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke of North Lance.

The North Wind Legion stationed here is the most elite legion of the Principality of the North Lance. It is also one of the ten sixth-level legions of the entire Northern Duchy. After all, the location of the City of Lahne is very important. It is almost like a prominent sharp unicorn, nailed like a nail next to a major traffic route. This main road is the only way for the four principalities' trade routes. In other words, the City of Lahne will seriously threaten the border territories of the other three principalities during war.

When Sean entered the city, the first feeling he felt was a very unique high-pressure rhythmic atmosphere.

Pedestrians on the road are always in a hurry. They may enter a store to purchase things, but the time will not stay for too long, because they can always know what they want to buy at the first time, and then quickly complete the checkout and leave. Occasionally, they will stay and watch some other things, but the time will not be too long. Because once they show interest in something, the clerk will come forward to negotiate, and the two parties will quickly reach a consensus: either pay the bill and pick up the goods happily, or shake their heads helplessly.

If it is just like this, at most it will be a feeling of extremely fast pace of life.

But Sean also noticed that there are many patrol guards in the city, and you can see three to four teams of five-man teams crossing the same street. These guards have their own patrol routes, and these patrol routes may cross each other, but because of the extremely strong time difference, these patrol guards will never have any pauses due to the overlap of patrol routes.

The look of the guards is always so serious and serious, and they are obviously very experienced veterans. They do not refer to their experience in combat, but to their experience in public security. Because Sean saw two groups of mercenaries clashing because of something, a team of patrol guards stepped forward and solved the contradiction in just a few minutes: one group of mercenaries followed the guards with their heads hanging down, while the other group of mercenaries turned around and left with a proud look.

If this conflict and conflict between mercenaries were replaced by another city, even the Void City would cause a riot, and it would be a first time in which Sean had seen it.

This made Sean pay more attention to the mercenaries and adventurers who entered the city.

Then soon, Sean discovered that whether it was mercenaries or adventurers, they were actually no different from the residents of the city. Their destination after entering the city was very clear: the mercenaries would always be divided into two groups, one group would go to the Mercenary Guild, seeing that the things they were carrying were obviously going to hand over the mission, while the other group would go to a hotel or a tavern, which seemed to be preparing food for their companions or preparing for rest; while the adventurers would enter the Adventurer Guild uniformly, and they would only take a short time to come back, and they would leave separately after hugging each other in the Adventurer Guild. Obviously, the mission was over.

The whole city looks like a precision and efficient machine.

An extremely indifferent and highly purposeful atmosphere permeates the city. It seems that the people living here, whether civilians, merchants, guards, adventurers, or mercenaries, have obviously become accustomed to this sense of efficiency and extremely strong rhythm of coming and going.

There are only ones like Sean standing at the gate of the city and observing the entire city for more than half an hour.

"Rookie." Someone suddenly shouted.

For some reason, Sean's intuition told him that the other party was calling him. So Sean quickly turned around and saw a thin old man crossing his legs quickly, running towards him at a unique frequency and speed.

"Is there anything wrong?" Sean felt a little strange in his heart, but he asked politely.

"Hey, newcomer." The old man smiled and stopped casually. "Don't ask me why I know, because there are always a few novices who come here every month. They all come here to find some work, but some are lucky and can find it soon, while others are unlucky and don't know what they can do in the end... Hey, novices, this message is free. The next message will be charged."

"This is free news?" Sean was a little amused and crying.

"Of course. I'm reminding you that Rahn is not a charitable city." The old man nodded for granted. "Mercenaries go to the Mercenary Guild, and adventurers go to the Adventurers Guild. There are always some tasks issued there. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always find work... This is the free reminder of the free information just now."

Sean raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then, then, you are the guide?"

"Smart young man." The old man nodded with satisfaction, "No, but from now on, I will charge you for your questions. Depending on the importance of your question, the charging standards are also different. Starting at a silver coin, the more detailed the information you need, the more expensive the charge will be."

Guides are a special part-time job of the Thieves Guild. They usually have to have a very detailed understanding of a city before they can be served. They do not need to have very strong combat power, but their intelligence collection ability must be excellent, otherwise they will not be qualified to serve as guides.

Sean knew that the thin old man in front of him was probably not a simple person.

Because he noticed that there were actually many guides around him. But from the moment the old man walked towards him, the other guides chose to give up.

"I want to know the difference in intelligence that you and the Adventurers Guild and the Mercenary Guild can provide." Sean thought for a while, and then asked the first question. "If I remember correctly, the rule of guides is half the price of intelligence."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then began to look at Shaun up and down. The moment his eyes narrowed slightly, Shaun even felt a tingling tingling feeling of his scalp, which was a dangerous signal. But Shaun couldn't see it. There was something about this old man who could threaten him, and he didn't have the aura of a warrior on him at all.

"It seems that I'm wrong." The old man quickly restrained his expression. The sense of danger on Sean also disappeared. "Half-price, simple intelligence charges one gold coin. If you want a more detailed and comprehensive explanation, it will be five gold coins. Which one do you want?"

"Five gold coins." Sean said, taking out five gold coins and handing them to the old man.

"The information and tasks I can provide you are far more, wider and more detailed than the Mercenary Union and Adventurer Guild. I can even provide you with relevant assessments and recommend tasks based on your abilities. Of course, this is an extra fee. However, with my recommendation, I can guarantee that no matter what kind of tasks you accept in this city, even if you are only in the Bronze Realm. In addition, I can also help you find any information you want, and even conduct relevant situation analysis for you. Of course, this also costs an extra fee. But I can at least guarantee that you are worth the money."

"Um..." Sean looked musing. After touching his chin, he spoke again, "If I just wanted brief information just now, how would you answer?"

The old man looked at Sean with a smile.

Sean took out a gold coin helplessly and handed it to the old man.

"This is the second intelligence, not half price." The old man laughed, so Sean could only hand it to the old man with another gold coin. "I can provide you with relevant information and tasks, and even recommend tasks based on your abilities. Of course, I can also collect the information you want for you and help you analyze it. However, I have to charge extra fees for both services."

"So that's it." After hearing the detailed comparison of the two intelligences, Sean became aware of it. "You will give additional key tips for detailed information, while you will not say the most critical content with simple information... Well, your charges are indeed worth the money."

"So, smart guy, what help do you need, the old man?"

"I want to know which faction the God of War Church in Rahn City is directly under the God of War Knight."

ps: The doctor said that the hand was over strain caused by long-term high-pressure work. Think about it, I updated 350,000 words this month, which is almost equivalent to the update volume last year and half of last year. It is indeed a bit too high-intensity, haha... But don't worry, since the doctor didn't close me, then there is definitely nothing wrong. The hot compress treatment effect is pretty good now. I continue to code and update, but the fifth update may be past twelve o'clock. Today, I'm a little embarrassed.
