The Record of Initiation - Legacy of Nightmare Chapter 3
"Okay, okay." Alexander nodded in agreement, shook Brandon's shoulders a few times and got out of the car.
Brandon woke up with a confused face and got out of the car. "Are we there? It's already dark."
"You were sleeping all the way. Okay, let's go down and queue up. Be careful of your belongings while queuing up." Alexander jumped off the carriage and looked around, then lined up behind the queue, being careful not to have his belongings touched. At the same time,
Observe the people in line.
"Haha, I can't help it. It feels so comfortable after I get used to the bumps." Brandon scratched the back of his head sheepishly, then started to put on his armor, and then got out of the car and followed Alexander.
"Wow - the city wall is so high, it must be very thick, and the city must be very big." Although the sky was almost completely dark, you could still see the length and scale of the city wall. However, Brandon's reaction was really a bit surprising.
The two saw that the city wall of Lamesa was thirty feet high. Seeing it in person was much more shocking than what they learned from books. Moreover, there were five-meter-high towers on every other end of the city wall. The walls were equipped with
If there is a cannon muzzle, if a siege occurs, although the cannon cannot be seen now, pushing the cannon over will surely launch a powerful attack. Silver City, which is a defensive fortress, does not have such a thing.
Due to the time of day, there were not many people lining up in front of the two people. There were only a dozen people and two carriages in total, and there were eight guards standing on both sides of the door checking.
"...Are you sure this place is the city of Lamesa? Why are the defense measures so complete?" Alexander asked casually, and at the same time poked his head out to see if there was anyone more eye-catching among the people in the queue, and then observed the interrogators by the way.
formalities.
"That's right, this is the commercial city of Lamesa, the largest city outside the royal city." Brandon rubbed his hands vigorously.
However, the interrogation when entering the city was basically a visual inspection, requiring people to open their backpacks to check carriages, etc., and there was no requirement to search their bodies. One of the people in line was probably an adventurer, carrying a heavy sword on his back, and the people next to him did not stay away.
Alexander estimated that there should be nothing prohibited on him, so he waited slowly for his place in the queue and chatted with Brandon: "Generally speaking, commercial cities have more troops to maintain order, right? But this place looks like a
A frontline fortress, so many towers, and cannon ports. Has any major war ever happened here?"
"There was no war, but there was a large-scale invasion of monsters." The caravan owner patted the carriage and said, "Many people died at that time."
"I see." Alexander nodded and asked, "When did that happen? How could the monsters invade here on a large scale?"
The few people in front and one of the carriages entered, and the caravan boss dismounted his horse to let him follow. After walking a few more steps, the boss continued: "I'm not sure. It happened before the big amnesia. There may be some
It’s old. As for why, maybe the historians in the city will know?”
"Well, it's not surprising that there is such a defense." Alexander nodded and stopped talking. He thought to himself that at least it was not at the same time as the Warcraft riot in the rainforest. It probably had nothing to do with him. She was more or less
It's a bit of persecution paranoia.
Brandon interrupted at this time: "Historians? How can they know history if they have forgotten it? Look up books?" The boss replied casually: "Don't you know? The Imperial Library in the city has a large collection of books.
Probably reading a book, I can't think of any other way."
When Alexander heard this, he turned his head slightly to see if there was anyone else in line behind him. When he found that there was none, he turned back and listened silently to the conversation between Brandon and the boss.
After advancing a few more places, they were almost there. When they were almost there, Alexander couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Boss, you must have nothing prohibited on you, right? In the relics? What is prohibited in this city?"
"
"There's nothing prohibited...but there are also cases of people kidnapping children with herbal medicines that have anesthetic properties. This kind of thing is prone to problems."
"Alas..." Alexander took out the poison arrow bottle from his bag: "What should I do with my poison arrow bottle?"
"Ah... you can hide it outside the city, or pay the guards to keep it."
"...How much will it cost?" Alexander was dumbfounded.
"Then I don't know...you ask?" The caravan owner was a little helpless.
"Okay." Alexander waited for his turn for a routine inspection and took the initiative to ask how much it would cost to keep the poison arrow bottle.
The entrance fee to the city was two paise, and the boss originally planned to pay it to the two of them, but because Brandon had already accepted the thank you payment and could not let others pay, he took their share before Alexander could say anything.
As for safekeeping, it costs one paise to keep anything, except for items that are too large. Alexander nodded and handed over the money for safekeeping, and didn't think there was any problem.
After collecting the money, the guard next to him looked at Alexander and Brandon curiously, but said nothing.
Although Alexander was a little concerned about the sight of the soldiers, considering that it was not good to be blocked at the city gate and it was a bit late, he didn't ask any more questions.
Alexander heard Brandon behind him take a deep breath and walked into the city of Lamesa. Under the tall city wall, there was a spacious main road. Every building on the roadside had at least two floors, and many had a third floor.
The level is much more magnificent than that of Silver City.
Although it is already dark, there are street lights here, which seem to be illuminated by magic spells. There are also various fancy spell lamps at the door of every house. Of course, some still use torches and old-fashioned oil lamps.
There were a lot of pedestrians on the road, and it was the right place to eat. Although there were no roadside stalls, the shop assistants started shouting loudly.
"Well... we have to find a place to live next, and we need to rest for a few days." Alexander looked back at Brandon and the boss, "Boss, what are your next plans?"
"I have to go back to the Adventurer's Guild to report this matter. I would like to thank you two again for the rescue. I have to deal with the relics next." The boss looked back gloomily. Those adventurers who did their duty and died with their heads in their belts
Putting aside the situation, he must indeed be very remorseful for the deaths of the caravan members.
"It's so beautiful." Brandon exclaimed, and then Alexander clearly heard the growl of Brandon's stomach. Brandon didn't care about this supposed embarrassing situation, and still looked around, already looking at the flowers.
Blinded.
"The Adventurer's Guild..." Alexander recalled what she knew about the mercenary guild. She had not had much contact with the towns she had passed through before, and she had heard more from Brandon. Although most of the adventurers in Durr Town were just for money.
Action, but the adventurers of Lataidi are full of enthusiasm and maintain their own ideals. However, in terms of the structure of the organization, the adventurers collect money to do things and can form a symbiotic relationship with the local residents. Whether it is a good relationship depends on
local situation.
"My condolences, how about we send you to the Adventurer's Guild? We just want to take a look." Alexander thought there was no harm in going to the guild first to get familiar with him. If he didn't have enough money, he could still earn some money by accepting a few commissions.
"Brandon, what can you buy first to cushion yourself on the way?"
"Well, I'm fine with that. You can talk about it later, let's go." The two followed the boss and set off towards the Adventurer's Guild.
Alexander scanned the surroundings along the way, looking at the types of shops on the roadside while recognizing the way. He also saw if he could buy some biscuits or something to fill Brandon's stomach first.
When passing by an alley, a tall, one-eyed man in a hurry bumped into Brandon because he was walking too fast. The two of them sat on the ground, and the paper in the man's hand also fell to the ground.
"Sorry, I left in such a hurry."
"Ah, sorry."
They apologized to each other at the same time. Alexander had just bought two cakes, and when he turned around, he saw Brandong helping to pick up the man's paper. Before he could reach the man's side, he heard Brandong's surprised voice.
"Evil God?!" Brandon was surprised to see what was written on the paper, and then he covered his mouth without realizing it. The man looked like he was in trouble and said, "Ah, this needs to be kept secret.
Content. You, are you the Oathbinder?"
"Why...the evil god again? I always hear these things along the way." Alexander felt that the suspicion that this man was a thief was much lessened, and he started to pick up the paper with one hand.
Brandon said in a normally low volume and a please tone: "My name is Jayden Brandon. Now that I have seen it, I can't ignore it. Of course I can do what you ask for, so please let me participate!"
Alexander patted Brandon on the shoulder, and at the same time looked to see if he could scan what was written on the paper in Brandon's hand.
The content on the paper basically states that the ruins where the evil god is located are discovered, and the adventurer protection historian is entrusted to explore the surface of the ruins to collect information. In short, it is to explore the path.
"Um... doesn't it say that this is a commission for adventurers? We should be able to participate normally, calm down." Alexander glanced around and said, "Is this gentleman from the Adventurer's Guild? We are just right.
We also need to go to the guild and talk about this matter there? We are definitely experienced adventurers."
The man thought for a moment and reluctantly said: "It is very dangerous to accept this task without a certain level of strength. This is a B-level drawing task. Seeing that you are so young... Although I know your beliefs, then
Which one do you believe in?" He later asked Brandon, and Brandon naturally and truthfully stated that he believed in the God of Holy Glory, Kaleven Delasti Skade.
Then Hanzi continued: "This commission will not be officially released until Chuyang tomorrow. There will be screening and appointment of historians. I can't decide by myself. You can participate then."
"Tomorrow? Understood, then we will do it again." Alexander handed the biscuits to Brandon and returned the paper to the man. "Anyway, we are still going to the guild now. Do you want to go together?"
"I will definitely pass." Brandon said to the man firmly. As an oathbinder, this is something that must be done, but Alexander does not have to do it. So after taking the cake, he said to Alexander: "
Ah, I'm sorry, for such a dangerous matter, Alexander, you'd better go to the royal capital first, I can handle it myself."
Then the man touched his forehead and said: "Due to the rainfall, the flow of the Hulai River is very fast and it will be impossible to pass through it in the short term. Although the water level in Gray Skull Swamp has risen, special spells must be used to ferry the boat.
The guild has stored some of those materials."
"Don't be stupid. I've seen it too. The evil god is against me. It exists in the rainforest and in Dole Town. I won't go anywhere until things here are settled." Alexander put his hands on his waist.
Look at Brandon.
At this time, the caravan owner who was walking in front stopped his car and turned back to see what was going on.
"Vice President Jason?" It seemed that the two of them knew each other. In short, Alexander and Brandon followed the caravan owner and vice president to the Adventurer's Guild.
