Chapter 43 Red Rock City (Please read, collect, and recommend!)
Chapter 43
Hongyan City, one of the top three cities in Green Forest Province, is also Lin En's destination.
Compared with the previous small town, the city walls of Hongyan City are towering into the clouds and majestic.
There is a huge flow of people entering and leaving this place every day, and an entrance fee is required to enter Hongyan City.
Lin En followed the crowd, lined up to pay, and slowly walked into the city.
At this moment, a horse galloped, and the man on the horse was wearing gorgeous armor and had a majestic posture. He quickly passed through the crowd and headed straight for the city gate.
The guard at the city gate obviously recognized the man and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Ok, how are the towns down there?"
Oak, wearing a helmet, his expression is difficult to identify, but his voice is clear and steady.
He shook his head and responded, "As always, nothing happened. Even if there was, it was just a trivial matter."
"Alas, these adults have been giving us a hard time lately. Not only do you have to inspect all the places, but we gatekeepers also have to check carefully and report every little thing."
The guard complained and looked at Oak.
Oak smiled and sighed, "No more talking. I'll treat you to a drink after this busy period is over."
He then rode into the city and disappeared among the crowd.
Lin En stood silently in the crowd, dressed deliberately to look ordinary, no different from most people entering the city, and inconspicuous.
However, at this moment, his eyes became deep, and he thought in his heart:
"Such a high-profile move, could it be the influence of Night Shadow Bunker?"
Wizards control the country's top leadership; even the so-called nobles and city lords have to serve them.
Obviously, as long as someone spoke from over there, it would cause such a big commotion.
"If that's true, then besides me, there should be quite a few apprentices who escaped. Otherwise, such a large-scale action is really unnecessary."
Lynn murmured quietly, speculating secretly in his mind.
This road leading to Cang Yue Plateau is obviously not that simple.
However, now that things have come to this, he can only take things one step at a time.
After paying the entrance fee, Lin En successfully entered Red Rock City.
This huge city in the Green Forest Province has streets paved with solid stones and is wide enough to accommodate three horse-drawn carriages passing side by side.
On both sides of the street, tall buildings are lined up, shops are standing in rows, it is very lively and bustling with people, full of the unique vitality and vigor of the city.
Lin En mingled with the crowd and wandered around Red Rock City, paying special attention to places like weapon shops and taverns.
Then, he began his "extremely hard-working" work as a second-level wizard apprentice.
After a day of running around, in the afternoon, Lin En weighed the full money in his pocket and decided to go to the weapon shop first. After some selection, he finally picked out a set of equipment that looked decent.
At this moment, Lin En was wearing slightly worn armor and a long sword hung around his waist, looking like an exiled knight.
His physique reached level 3 after being strengthened by the energy factor. If he had not had any experience in swordsmanship, he would be almost the same as a real knight's squire.
"The tavern has always been the place where news circulates the most..."
Lin En thought to himself, then at night, he pushed open the wooden door of the tavern and walked in.
The pub was brightly lit, and the noisy crowd and strong aroma of wine made him feel familiar.
He ordered a beer, found a random seat and sat down, his eyes scanning a wall of the pub.
The walls are covered with all kinds of information: mission announcements, vendor needs, and hiring notices.
Lin En originally planned to find out some useful information here, but he didn't expect that this tavern was directly the mission release center.
The tavern serves as a transit station where employers post tasks and bounty hunters accept them and receive rewards after completing them.
At this moment, there were already quite a few people in the tavern gathered around the task bar, carefully selecting the tasks that suited them.
Lin En did not waste time. He used his mental power to quickly scan and select the tasks he needed.
In the end, he locked on two missions, both of which would take him to the Cang Yue Plateau, one was to escort people, and the other was to escort goods.
Employers on both missions provided horses, tolls, and some official fees.
The only difference is that the mission of sending people requires a good service attitude and not being aggressive; while the mission of delivering goods requires delivery as quickly as possible and ensuring the safety of the goods.
Lynn didn't want to deal with anyone, so he didn't hesitate at all.
He tore off the delivery order effortlessly, walked straight to the bartender and threw the order in front of him.
The bartender took the task list and turned to walk towards the room deep in the tavern. After a while, he came back and motioned Lynn to come in.
"Please follow me..."
Lynn followed the bartender out of the pub and came to an open space behind the pub.
At this time, a burly man was already waiting.
"The employer needs to be assured of your competence, do you mind?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The man held a long sword and stared at Lin En.
Lin En nodded calmly. He had noticed this requirement on the task list long ago.
This mission pays a lot of money, so it is normal to have certain strength requirements, and those who are incompetent should be kept out.
"Let's get started."
"call out!"
Before he finished speaking, the man had already drawn his sword like lightning, and the sword energy cut through the air, swift and sharp.
The sound of air being cut echoed in the night sky, and the speed of the sword was astonishing.
Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly, and his body reacted quickly.
He did not use any complicated sword techniques, but relied on his extraordinary mental strength and intuition to quickly identify the opponent's flaws.
“Bang!”
He swept out with a sword, the long sword sharply close to the opponent's neck, with almost no hesitation.
"stop!"
The other party suddenly stopped moving, widened his eyes, and looked at Lin En in astonishment.
His heart started beating wildly and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
If this wasn't a contest but a life-and-death duel, he would have died on the spot.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this..."
The burly man asked, his throat dry.
“Did I pass?”
Lynn had no intention of answering, and his voice was calm.
He didn't know any sword skills. He just used his mental power to keep an eye on the opponent. When the opponent made a move, he locked onto the weakness with his mental power and then stabbed out with a sword. That was all.
"Um!"
The burly man shuddered all over and his expression became a little subtle.
There was a hint of awe and disbelief in his eyes as he looked at Lynn.
He himself is a strong man among the knight's squires. Anyone who can defeat him easily must be close to the level of a true knight.
He didn't think that Lin En was already a real knight. After all, a real knight didn't need to take on such missions.
