The history of the southeastern region has been rarely studied, mainly because the entire history only spans a few hundred years.
And most of the time, it is mainly based on its geographical location and the natural development advantages it has gained... More historical texts describe its rise and prosperity, and praise the richness of that place again and again.
When Sean saw this kind of history, he instinctively felt that someone had deliberately embellished it and could not see the true side at all.
After chatting with Harry for a while, the other party seemed to want to connect with him... But for now, Sean felt that the other party's ability was not enough, at least not enough to allow him to share the results in Lietis.
And loyalty remains to be seen...
The current Earl of Wallop disliked him, so of course he had to observe this member of the same family more before deciding whether to have more contact with him.
Coming out of the Erudite Library, Sean found the carriage stop not far away...
"Where are you going, sir?" The driver was a woman.
Women driving sports cars are not necessarily weaker than men, and the muscles of their arms are clearly visible under their dark skin.
"Mercenary Guild."
The other party hesitated for a moment, then nodded and set off.
The Mercenary Guild is not in the north of the city but in the south. This is probably because most of the missions in the southern region come from the south, so it was established there to make it easier for mercenaries to go out.
After all, the city of Rietis is too big.
If there is a traffic jam, it may take one or two hours to walk from south to north. For a city-state in another world, such a distance would take half a day to walk.
"Customer, are you going to the Mercenary Guild to post a mission?" the woman pulling the cart suddenly said.
The drivers Sean met were all very talkative. After all, they were businessmen and knowing a few more bosses would help them take care of their business. When they started chatting, they would ask where they were from and then exchange some pleasantries.
I remember that the old coachman who came out of Thermian earlier took me to the place where they often rested, and that was where they would call out information... So sometimes it would be easier to understand folk affairs by asking them.
"No." Sean replied, suddenly remembering something.
"Do I look like someone who's going to issue a mission?"
The woman pulling the cart smiled.
"You're such a joke, guest! How could someone dressed like you be someone going on a mission? I heard the Grand Duke and the Prince recently announced this year's highest-paying mission, hoping to organize a group to explore the southeastern region... Strangely enough, I haven't seen a caravan from Tacoma in ages."
Of course, even caravans cannot avoid mass incidents in a region.
"About how long has it been?" Sean tried to ask.
"It seems like half a month. The last time I saw a caravan, they were coming from the area near the north. It's been a long time since we saw them in Tacoma." The driver recalled.
It seems that no matter which industry, everyone has noticed that there is a problem...
This is probably why the Prince and the Grand Duke were so open about it. Instead of suppressing the news until it gets out of control, it is better to directly issue a task to prove that they are also unaware of it.
Sean looked around the carriage. There were several packages piled up at the back of the carriage, and the exposed parts were leather armor equipment.
"Are you selling this set of equipment?"
"Ah!" He turned around in surprise.
"Sir, that's the goods I want to deliver. I just received it from the leatherworker and am sending it to the leather armor shop."
Sean took out a dozen gold coins from his waist bag...
"I'll take all 500 of this equipment."
Generally speaking, leather armor that costs over 100 gold is considered very good, and it also depends on the material of the protective gear and accessories.
The leather armor in front of you is made of leather, including wrist guards and so on. There are some iron plates on key parts such as the breastplate, and there are also iron ring-like sealed places, which makes it feel a bit like chain mail.
"500?! Do you really want to buy it?"
"certainly."
500 is enough to customize two or three sets of the same leather armor. It is such a generous offer that it is hard to refuse.
"Okay then, I'm very familiar with the owner of the store! I'll talk to him when the time comes and ask them to wait a little longer..." The driver said symbolically.
In fact, the moment Sean mentioned he wanted to buy something, the other woman was already in a state of anticipation. She probably thought the leather armor shop was the woman's home, and perhaps the owner was her husband. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a state.
"Okay." He said casually.
Just act along...
Then the other party talked a lot about the manufacturing process of leather armor, anyway, he was praising the leather armor as being very good.
The words "you make a profit if you buy it" and so on made Sean think that this family actually sold leather armor, and pulling carts was just a side job!
When I left, he even asked about my residence and asked me to send him new styles in the future...
"Headquarters of the Wings of Heaven." Sean said only this and left.
I guess everyone living in the city of Lietis knows about the Wings of Covering the Sky!
Sean put on the leather armor on himself in the carriage...
She has been wearing aristocratic clothing since she came to this world. Although the ones she wore in Telemian were a bit old, after arriving in Koga City, Igonia had selected many suitable styles for herself. Besides, she is not ugly, so she looks quite elegant when she dresses up.
But this is my first time wearing leather armor, and I always feel like my body is being tightened by something.
Especially the leg guards and wrist guards...
There were a lot of people outside the mercenary guild, all carrying swords and bows and arrows.
Even Sean tied his pistol outside, which made him look like he was in combat.
"Have you heard? Uger and the others are also going on this mission..."
"I've known this for a long time. It would be strange if they didn't go for such a bounty! Aren't you going?"
"How is that possible? Of course I will..."
Before I even walked in, I could hear the sound of people chatting outside.
Different from the mercenaries he had seen in Telemian, the mercenaries here seemed to be of all kinds, and there were even Adak people who were obviously more muscular.
The Lietis Mercenary Guild is a large, church-like hall, with doors everywhere, and the center is where they handle missions.
It’s not raining today... There are so many people that you have to queue even to enter.
Sean wanted to come over and see what the mercenaries were saying about the southeastern region...
Following the person in front of me, the most eye-catching thing is the large screen in front.
The first mission is to scout the Tacoma area...
Followed by a string of requirements, with the amount written at the end.
5 million gold coins!!
Oh shit.
It would take me 500 years to earn enough money to make this thing. The prince and others are too rich.
In the face of such a huge bounty, the remaining thousands or even hundreds are not enough, and most of the people around are also discussing topics about the southeastern Tacoma area.
Sean chose a place nearby and sat down.
