Meiding City is not big, but it is lively and prosperous.
This is the commercial center and transportation hub of the entire western Lulian. In peacetime, there were countless business groups traveling from north to south to purchase various magic cores, furs, herbs and other specialties in the Warcraft Mountains. There were also many slave traders.
Will venture into the mountains to capture some barbarians, elves and dwarves as slaves.
Elves are usually sold to nobles as maids, while captives captured by barbarians, dwarves, and some nobles who are fighting against each other are sold to places that require strong labor, or directly into gladiatorial arenas.
During the war years, due to the release of a large number of mercenary missions and the recruitment of Archduke Lullian, more people came here. Some of these people were businessmen, gamblers, wandering knights and liars and thieves who came to make war profits. Others
Some people are professional mercenaries and bandits who take advantage of the situation, and are born to do some bloody work in places where there is war.
The lord of the city, Baron Smith, has a gentle and friendly personality. His family has ruled Meding City for nearly thirty years and has always been respected and loved by the subjects of the territory. However, because it is adjacent to the overbearing Viscount Wenger, the area around the territory is often visited by Viscount Wenger.
Although Baron Smith repeatedly tolerated the harassment by the tax collection team, it had little effect. Recently, the conflict between the two sides due to territory and trade taxation has intensified.
Because Philip's Second Battalion was not stationed in the city of Medina, Ruo Hongyoudi walked into the city gate and disappeared among the bustling crowd, and then turned his horse's head.
Look up to the sky.
In the red light of the setting sun, the wind and clouds were already surging.
At night, the hotel tavern is very lively.
Roy took a shower, put on a new set of linen clothes, and sat in the corner of the tavern, drinking rum, listening to the music played by several wandering entertainers, and watching all kinds of people coming and going.
I just feel like every cell in my body is coming back to life.
Beside them, Meng Meng and Eric were fist pumping loudly, Luke was listening to the music with a cool look on his face, and Julie, who had reintegrated into the group, was chirping quietly with Nicole and Eva.
As they talked, maybe because the day's experience was too exciting, several girls talked about their excitement, and from time to time they burst into laughter like silver bells.
This hotel is located on the edge of the square in the center of Medin City. Every night, the magic fountain in the center of the square will spray out colorful water columns. The hotels and pubs next to it are connected to form a whole street, and the air is full of water.
The smell of delicious food, music, the laughter of people singing and dancing, the sound of clinking wine glasses and the noise of rough mercenaries talking loudly.
From time to time, there would be a burst of exclamations and roars and a sound of tables overturning and chairs turning over. This was a daily repertoire here - fighting.
The mercenaries, adventurers and wandering knights gathered in Meiding City are all hot-tempered guys, and they are even more wanton when they drink. In addition, there are prostitutes and some who are also in the flesh business who gather here every night.
The waitresses were so jealous that they would get into fights over the slightest disagreement. It would have been strange if there had been no fight that day.
This is Roy's favorite life. Drinking, eating meat, taking risks, flirting with beautiful women, enjoying grudges, and doing all the things a man can do. After living in isolation for a year and a half, such a voice
, I haven’t enjoyed this kind of air for a long time.
"Humans are so rude!" Malyaer sneaked out from behind the collar of Roy's clothes and hid behind his neck to look out. When he saw a burly, open-chested third-level mercenary using his big hairy hands on the plump waitress,
He pinched his butt so hard that the waitress screamed.
"Wow!" the waitress angrily pushed the mercenary's hand away and poured the ale that was supposed to be given to him directly on his head.
"Hahahaha!" The mercenary and his companions burst into laughter. While laughing, they stretched out their tongues to lick the wine flowing from their heads, feeling extremely happy.
"You are not allowed to touch other people's butts!" Maler threatened Roy angrily as he grabbed a strand of Roy's hair.
"Do you care?" Roy curled his lips.
Mai Ya'er bit him hard on the neck, and the pain was so painful that he almost reached out and grabbed the little girls one by one.
"Roy, are you really not going to come with us to Mani City?"
Meng Meng touched Roy with his arm and asked loudly amidst the noise of the pub.
"No," Roy knew that Mengmeng and the others would take a public carriage back to Munich City tomorrow. But he still had a lot of things to do in Meding City, so he shook his head and said, "There's no point in going to Munich City now.
.In one month, I will go to Munich City to apply for the first training camp, and then I will find you."
"You liar!" Upon hearing Roy's words, Nicole immediately thought of it, glared at him and said, "You are obviously a magician, why didn't you tell me in the first place?"
"You didn't ask." Roy looked innocent.
"Hmph!" Nicole was furious for a while and snorted: "Thankfully everyone is still worried that you won't be able to enter the academy in the summer, so this opportunity to add credits is wasted."
As she spoke, she asked curiously: "Are you really just the Four-Star Langxing Master?"
"I don't admit that I am a mage," Roy said with a stinking look on his face, "I am a knight."
Nicole went crazy for a while. Julie snorted and turned her face to the side. Luke and others, who also couldn't understand why Roy was so obsessed with the knight, looked at each other.
"Roy, in our academy, magicians are much more popular than knights." Eva held her chin and stared hard at Roy's eyes. She felt that this country bumpkin's eyes were the prettiest in his whole body. But these eyes were the most beautiful.
It's just that he always likes to droop his eyelids blankly and look dull.
"Eva is right." Eric echoed: "You now have the strength of a four-star Langxing mage. If you apply for the academy, you can be directly promoted to the third-grade Class S. That status is comparable to that of you who just went out to fight.
You can't compare to the first-year Huan. Besides, your fighting spirit is only at the fifth level now. If you want to cultivate to the first level and condense the battle ring, one month is simply not enough."
"My dream is to become a Paladin." Tom's smiling face appeared in Roy's mind again, "This is also my best brother's wish before he died. So, even if my magic level has reached the level of a magic god
, I am still a knight. For me and my brothers, knighthood is not only a profession, but also a belief!"
"Well said!" Meng Meng slapped the table and picked up the wine glass: "Knights are a man's profession. A horse chases the wind and lightning, a gun cuts across the wilderness, and walks the world doing chivalry and justice. This kind of spirit,
How can a magician compare! Come, let’s drink to the future of another paladin in our academy!”
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked their glasses.
At this moment, suddenly, a sinister voice came from the side: "Why are magicians not as good as knights?"
Everyone looked back and saw not far away, a young mage wearing a robe and an arrogant expression, sitting among four or five young people who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, looking at them coldly.
They all wear uniforms with two stars and two stripes on the chest.
"They are from the second training camp! Second grade." Following Eric's low voice, Roy noticed that the bodies of several companions suddenly straightened up, their eyes narrowed slightly, and their backs stiffened.
This state is familiar to Roy. It is exactly the instinctive reaction of a monster when it encounters its natural enemy.
With a confused look on his face, Roy secretly leaned his back on the chair. Malya, who was crawling on the back of his neck, couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw his appearance.
In a desperate situation, as long as there is a situation where two tigers are fighting, the big head who is prepared to hide aside and take evil action is this kind of virtue.
Because Meng Meng spoke in a loud voice, the mage overheard him and just stared at him mockingly.
"The first training camp has been defeated in the competition for nine consecutive years. If it were us, we would have been hiding in the academy and died of embarrassment. How can we have the shame to brag here? Hehe, even if the knight is better than the mage, it won't be the turn of trash like you.
I'm making irresponsible remarks here. Keep your voice down, don't lose the face of the three major training camps!"
"They are a bunch of losers, why bother with them?" The other young men sitting next to the mage glanced at Meng Meng and the others coldly, turned away with disdain, and said to the mage's companions: "Come on, let's drink.
Just treat it like someone farts."
"It's none of your business that we're chatting!" Nicole got angry and immediately slammed the table and stood up.
"Sit down!" a student from the other side yelled sternly, "Didn't anyone in your first training camp teach you the polite manners when talking to your seniors?"
Nicole's face turned red with anger.
It would have been fine if the other party only focused on the flaw in Meng Meng's words. But the other party's words directly targeted the first training camp and made rude remarks. Nicole couldn't bear this tone.
As we all know, although the three major training camps appear to be one and the same, in fact, from the beginning of their establishment, the open and secret fights between the three major training camps have never stopped.
The first training camp, known as the cradle of the Royal Knights, was originally the strongest. But now it is gradually lagging behind the second and third training camps due to various reasons.
Especially in the competition between training camps in the past ten years, the first training camp has lost to the other two training camps in seven subjects for nine consecutive years.
At that time, Archduke Saint-Soulan stipulated that the annual competition between training camps was meant to compete and exchange ideas. There was no need to regard each other as enemies. But when the status, reputation and various interests of the training camp were involved, the competition became
Adjusted.
Every time students from the first training camp encountered students from the other two camps outside, they would be ridiculed to the point where they could not hold their heads up. Especially during the actual combat training of combatants in the three major training camps in the spring, almost every one close to the Warcraft Mountains
Conflicts will break out in cities big and small for the same reasons.
Over the years, this is probably not the first time that students from the three major training camps have fought in this tavern.
After getting angry, Nicole calmed down and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Miss, I am happy to stand!" A woman's quarrel is not something that a man can match. Even Nicole, who has a sharp mouth, never admits defeat. She immediately retorted: "You care about heaven and earth, how can you care about other people's butts? You have to."
Go home and take care of your sister, don’t think that you can pretend to be the god of butts because you have a big face and a big mouth and look like a butt.”
"Boom!" The tavern seemed to have exploded, and the people who had long been attracted by this place couldn't help but burst into laughter.
That student had a face as flat as a pie, and his mouth was really quite big. When Nicole said this, it really made people think the image was appropriate.
For a moment, everyone just laughed. A few mercenaries lay on the table and kept slapping the table with their hands. The two businessmen who were chatting laughed so hard that they spit out a mouthful of wine and their faces turned red. Even those who had just been eaten
The waitress who served the tofu couldn't hold back. With a puff, she slammed the tray in her hand onto the mercenary who was eating her tofu.
With a "hoo!", several people in the second training camp all stood up.
"Get out!" the mage said coldly.
"Bah!" Luke, Meng Meng and others suddenly stood up, "Who the hell are you? You want to get out of here!"
Whoosh, bang, there was a sound of tables turning over and chairs falling over.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, suddenly they heard a cry of "Wait a minute!" The crowd moved away, and a strong man led several sturdy guards over.
"Oh my God." The strong man glanced at both sides. As soon as he saw the mage, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Dear Mr. Mage, this tavern of mine cannot stand your troubles."
As he said that, he turned around, looked at Nicole, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Miss, if you want to fight here, I'm afraid you have to pay me for the damage first. We are a small business, and if you guys come together, just try to
I'm very happy. The tavern is going to be demolished, what should we do? Leave it to me for six thousand gold coins, and you can do whatever you want here. Otherwise..."
He turned around again to evaluate the strength of both parties, then turned around and said to Nicole with a smile on his face, "I'm afraid I just have to ask you out."
"Why?" Julie, who had been silent all the time, said loudly: "Why don't you ask them for money and let them out?"
"The reason is quite simple." The strong man's eyes glanced all over Julie's body, and he said with a devilish smile on his face: "You are easier to bully than them."
"Hahahaha!" The students in the second training camp and the surrounding customers burst into laughter at the same time.
Many mercenaries and adventurers in the tavern knew this strong man.
He is the owner of this tavern. He is also a mercenary. He has the strength of a two-star brave knight. He has a group of brothers under him. While running the tavern, he also runs a casino and a brothel. He is also considered the number one figure in the entire Meding City.
After working for decades, I am a guy who never suffers losses.
This world originally only valued strength.
The strong man only came in to take a look and immediately knew that it would be more cost-effective to offend him.
In terms of strength, for the past ten years, the Second Training Camp has been overwhelmed by the First Training Camp. Moreover, they are all second-year students, including a mage. They don’t look like ordinary people when wearing weapons. In contrast, the First Training Camp
These few in the training camp are not only first-year students, they are also obviously civilians.
It's okay to offend a few civilian students in the first training camp. But if you offend the mage who is the treasure of treasures no matter which training camp you put in, I'm afraid your good days will come to an end. If you accidentally injure the mage in some way
Come out and just run away.
Therefore, after hearing the accusations made by the beautiful girl on the other side, the strong man decided to do the favor to the end and broke his face directly.
In the tavern, everyone laughed.
For a group of mercenaries who lick blood from their swords, guards who travel all over the country, and people who hang out at the bottom of society and do all kinds of shady things, this kind of thing is normal. It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong.
, and there is no mercy. Isn’t it normal for a bunch of rookies to be bullied?
Seeing the few fledgling students in front of them turned pale and trembling with anger, a group of men laughed even more happily. Many people hugged their arms and waved their hands as if to shoo away flies.
"Let's go, little girl. If you don't go, we'll be so animalistic that we won't be able to leave."
"Get out of here!"
"What are you guys doing here, a bunch of rookies, waiting for your mother to feed you?"
"Don't be ignorant. If we really get into a fight and disturb our fun, I'm sure you won't even recognize you when you go out."
"Three pretty little girls, why don't you come and let me squeeze your butts, and I'll take care of this for you!"
Amidst the booing, the faces of Julie, Nicole and others became paler and paler. Luke, Meng Meng, and Eric gritted their teeth and tightened their grip on the hilt of their swords.
"You're so shameless. I've told you to get lost. Why are you still here?" Several students in the second training camp were so excited that their faces glowed with excitement. The mage made a hand seal with an arrogant look and said sarcastically: "
Otherwise, you want to try magic and be beaten into a dead dog and then dragged out?"
"Did you hear that?" The strong man was a little impatient, and his eyes suddenly stared: "Get out!"
"Fuck you!"
The tavern suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at the rookies in front of them in disbelief when the tallest swordsman among them stepped aside, revealing a young man with black hair and a stupid look on his face from behind.
The strong man's eyes narrowed.
"Little bastard, what did you say?"
"You don't dare to offend that mage, so you dare to offend us?" Roy stood up and clenched his fists.
"What's wrong?" The strong man looked Roy up and down, and sneered: "You can reach the first level with just your fighting spirit..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud bang was heard!
A huge boulder appeared out of thin air and suddenly fell on the mage from the second training camp, knocking him to the ground in the shape of a large font.
