Chapter 507 Mercenary Union
"The Sunset Forest seems to be uneasy recently. I heard that many forces are heading there. Do you know what's going on?"
"Don't you know yet? I heard that an incredible treasure was discovered in the Sunset Forest, and many people have already rushed there! If I didn't have a mission to accomplish right now, I would also go and take a look!"
"What treasure? Is it real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. Maple Leaf Holy City and Tulip Holy City have both sent people. How could these big forces go there without treasure?"
…
"The Land of God's Fall is about to open, and many holy cities are recruiting warriors. Which holy city do you think is best to join?"
"I think it's better for us to join the Holy City of Lima. They are closest to the entrance to the Land of the Fallen Gods, so we will definitely be able to occupy a good position when the time comes!"
"What's the point of occupying a good position? The most important thing is the sacred tree..."
…
Although it was morning, when Gervis entered the tavern, he found that there were already quite a few people sitting inside. Most of these people were carrying swords and weapons, and were all titled knights.
Gervis found a seat in a corner and sat down, then listened attentively.
Although he had heard a lot of news, he didn't know much about this world, so he was always confused.
"Sir, what kind of wine do you need?"
Not long after Gervis sat down, a waitress with revealing clothes and heavy makeup came to Gervis.
"I'd like a cup of your most popular drink."
Gervis didn't want to drink so early in the morning, but if he went into the pub without drinking, he would probably be kicked out by the pub owner, so Gervis casually gave an order.
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing that Gervis was young and handsome, the waitress straightened her chest and gave him a wink before leaving, which almost made Gervis vomit out the two pancakes he had eaten in the morning.
Although the waitress was not ugly, she was not pretty at all. She was old enough to be Gervis' aunt. How could Gervis tolerate this?
"Sir, this is our signature rum!"
Soon, the waitress came back and brought a large wooden cup from the tray.
"How much?"
"Five coppers, sir!"
The waitress winked again.
Snap!
Gervis shifted his gaze and placed ten copper coins directly on the table.
"Do you know where I can buy maps in the city?"
Although he was not sure whether there were any maps for sale here, Gervis still wanted to ask. It was better than wandering around on his own.
"Map? We have it in our tavern. So, is this your first time in the Holy City of Heka, sir?"
Seeing the ten copper coins on the table, the waitress's smile became even more charming, bringing out all the wrinkles on her face.
"How much is one? Show it to me!"
It was really a case of searching for a needle in a haystack, but it was finally found without any effort. Gervis had not expected that the tavern would sell maps, and he immediately replied to the waitress.
"Sir, what kind of map do you want? We have two types of maps here."
"One is a map of the area surrounding the Holy City of Heka, and the other is a map of the entire Holy Alliance!"
"As for the price, the first type is thirty copper coins, and the second type is two silver coins!"
Although Gervis was dressed a little strangely, wearing only an undershirt, Gervis gave such generous tips that the waiter naturally thought he was a rich man, so she asked Gervis in a coquettish voice.
"The second one!"
Gervis didn't think twice and naturally chose the second option.
Although buying it would drain all of my savings, it is better than being completely in the dark about this place.
Soon the waitress came back again, and this time she brought a piece of animal skin.
"Sir, you need to pay first before you can watch it!"
The waitress put the animal skin map in her hand and reminded in a delicate voice.
Gvis suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, and he quickly placed the two silver coins he had prepared on the table.
"Sir, you are such a generous man. Do you need anything else, such as..."
After taking the two silver coins from the table, the waitress placed the animal skin map on the table. She deliberately bent down, revealing the horrifying deep groove.
"If you want to find a job in the city, where can you find it? The kind that makes money quickly."
Gervis simply ignored the waitress's hint and asked, resisting the urge to turn around and leave.
After buying this map, he now only has three or five copper coins left in his pocket. If he doesn't make some money, he will probably go hungry for dinner, so he wants to find out where he can make some quick money.
The guests in this tavern all carried weapons with them and were obviously not good people, so Gervis thought that the waiter should also know some ways to make money.
"The one that makes money quickly?"
Although she was a little disappointed that the handsome guy in front of her ignored her hint, handsome guys always have privileges and are generous, the waitress replied readily.
"The Mercenary Guild, taking on missions there is the fastest way to make money, but..."
As she spoke, the waitress looked at Gervis. He came in unarmed, and although he looked handsome, he looked like a young master from a certain family. He probably wouldn't be able to make the kind of money that would be earned by risking his life.
As soon as Gervis heard the word "Mercenary Guild", he knew what the place was, and also knew what the waitress wanted to say next.
So he quickly asked for the address of the Mercenary Guild and then asked the waiter to leave.
"Mercenary Guild, this is indeed an authentic fantasy world! No wonder the people in the church say that people from Eurasia are country bumpkins. Eurasia is indeed a country country! There are no such things over there!"
Knowing the existence of the Mercenary Guild, Gervis has planned to go and take a look. Although his fighting spirit has not recovered yet, he still has magic, so it should be no problem for him to take on some simple tasks and earn some money.
Moreover, his Qi meridians have almost recovered. I believe he will be able to use his fighting spirit again in a few days.
By then, I can make more money and prepare to find a way back to Eurasia.
Thinking of this, Gervis opened the Holy Alliance map that he bought for two silver coins.
When Gervis opened it, he couldn't help but frown.
This map is really simple, just like the rough maps in the games in his previous life, with dark yellow leather and abstract painting style. Apart from mountains, forests and rivers, cities are only marked with a small dot. Seeing this, Gervis couldn't help but twitch his mouth. It turned out that his expectations were too high.
But since he had already bought it, Gervis couldn't complain. It was not easy to have such a map.
Soon, Gervis found the location of the Holy City of Heka from the densely packed map.
However, the Holy City of Heka is actually located in the inland of the Holy Continent.
"This is a bit troublesome!"
If Gervis wants to return to Eurasia, he must take a boat out to sea, but he is now inland, which means he must first find a way to get to the coast.
Gervis didn't know how wide this sacred continent was, but considering that the majestic Holy City of Heka was only a dot on the map, he could guess how far it was to get to the coast.
"Alas! One misstep can lead to eternal regret! The New Temple tricked me and caused me so much trouble!"
After looking at it for a while, Gervis reluctantly put away the map. Now that he knew where he was, Gervis' next task was to make money.
Whether going to the coastal areas or for your own food, clothing, housing and transportation, you need money.
…
After putting away the map, Gervis saw a full glass of rum and reached out to pick it up.
He had only eaten two large pancakes in the morning and hadn't drunk a drop of water, so he was indeed a little thirsty now.
Gulp!
puff!
"It actually smells sour, and is completely different from the rum on Earth!"
As soon as he took a sip of the rum, Gervais spat it out. He was completely fooled by the misleading name of the wine.
From then on, Gervis stopped drinking and stood up with the map in his hand, ready to go to the Mercenary Guild to find work.
