Lord of Arcane

Chapter 130 Sam's Acquaintance
After showing the mission credentials, the guards called a man in charge, who looked at Xia Duo critically as soon as he arrived, "You are the one who accepted the mission of cleaning up the goblins?"

"It's me." For an ordinary person, Xia Duo didn't bother to talk to him, and asked directly, "Please introduce the situation in Hexi Village, and where are the accompanying soldiers?"

"You—" The manager seemed to be used to being arrogant, and didn't realize that even if he was just a sorcerer's apprentice, he had already surpassed his class in essence.

He pointed to the guard who called him earlier, and said to him, "Sam, you take him to the Eastern Barracks."

Then he looked at Xia Duo again, and his tone was not very good, "Is Xia Duo right? Sam will introduce you to the situation in Hexi Village. The soldiers are in the barracks. You'd better complete the task as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to get the 20 gold coins." arrive."

After speaking, he left directly.

And the guard named Sam looked at Xia Duo flatteringly, rubbing his hands, not knowing what to say, this scene was quite funny.

Xia Duo broke the deadlock, "Sam, take me to the barracks, and tell me about the situation in Hexi Village on the way."

"Okay!" Sam greeted and walked ahead, and after returning to see Xia Duo following, he slowly narrated——

"Hexi Village is a small village on the west side of the Wolfburg River. Similar to other villages in the territory, it mainly grows rye for a living and also raises some livestock. However, Hexi Village has a special product."

"What special product?"

"An olive grove, or olive oil, is sent to the city of Conifera every year to sell to the elves. The elves like this vegetable oil very much, and it is also a very important income in the territory."

"Huh——" Xia Duo suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise.

Sam quickly asked, "What happened to Master Xia Duo?"

"Nothing, just keep talking!"

Xia Duo found that his understanding was wrong, and it was nothing for the guards of the town hall to know these things. Maybe this Sam knew more secret things!

Signaling Sam to continue talking, Xia Duo will also consider some of the situation in Savile Territory. After all, if there is no accident, he will stay here for a long time.

"Master Xia Duo, let me continue. Although olive oil is a good thing, it is not easy to take care of olive trees. In addition to daily maintenance, the most important thing is to protect against goblin harassment.

"They are not only easily attracted by the fragrance of the leaves, but also like to damage the tree itself, and come in groups when it is harvest time, but at that time, with the attention of the lord, it is not a problem."

"Then what's the problem this time?" Xia Duo asked.

"I don't know what happened this time. The goblins had just melted outside, and the goblins came over early, and they were beaten back many times. They still haven't given up. This is abnormal!"

Sam hasn't seen anything similar for so many years. Seeing that Xia Duo didn't dislike his narration, he said a few more words, "This mission is actually to find out the reason for the abnormality of the goblin. There was also a person who took the mission before. Come here, but he only cleaned up some of the goblins, and didn't find out the reason why the goblins were abnormal."

"Oh?" Xia Duo raised his eyebrows, "That's what the steward said just now that he couldn't get 20 gold coins?"

"Yes, but it's not that you can't get gold coins at all, you should still be able to get some."

What Sam said almost made Xia Duo laugh, he came here for a cost-effective task, if he can't complete the task, then he is going for nothing!
"Okay Sam, tell me about the situation in Hexi Village again? Tell me about the terrain, villagers, and even weird rumors!"

"okay!"

Sam wished he could show off in front of an apprentice sorcerer. He thought he had joined the sorcerer's tower with a dream, but he didn't even learn the most basic spellcasting concentration after three years of mixing.

Therefore, he has a mentality of looking up to anyone who comes out of the mage tower, but at the same time, he also has the idea of ​​being better than a little bit in a certain way.

……

From the town office to the military barracks in the Eastern District, you only need to pass through the central square, and then walk a short distance after arriving in the Eastern District. However, the square is not crowded, but the Eastern District is bustling.

The impact of the orc wars years ago has finally disappeared, and the dead are dead after all. No one will have trouble with gold coins, especially the chamber of commerce. No matter how dissatisfied the head of the branch is, but the backstage master does not speak for him, he can only fight She dropped her teeth and swallowed in her mouth.

This time, Xia Duo saw that the stores of various chambers of commerce had already done everything. There were even special servants shouting at the door of some shops to recruit armed guards. The chambers of commerce provided professional training with generous wages.

Seeing this scene, Sam seemed very disdainful, and after walking away, he whispered, "These foreign chambers of commerce know how to lure young people in the territory, and any professional training is a lie."

"How do you say that?" Xia Duo was also a little curious. Since he was recruiting guards, it should be a matter of course to provide training.

Sam took a closer look at Xia Duo, "You are still young, and you don't know the viciousness of those chambers of commerce. They lure young people with high prices, but in fact, only a small number of people can really get the money alive. The so-called professional training is just to find an adventure Teach and teach."

"Do you have a problem with adventurers?" Xia Duo discovered the blind student.

"Of course, how can adventurers compare to those who come out of our military camp! And those adventurers know how to drink, fight, and how to train people?"

Xia Duo didn't ask again. Once a prejudice is formed, it is difficult to change. He believes that profit-seeking people know how to get the most benefit. If they lose guards frequently, they will not only lose money, but also reputation.

If the word of mouth is lost, it will be difficult to recruit people next time.

……

A short while south of the trade zone, we arrived at the military camp in the eastern region. It was the first time for Xia Duo to come here, but he was no stranger to the layout of the military camp. The military camp in the western region during the orc war was very similar to this place.

After checking his identity, he immediately found a familiar feeling.

"Master Xia Duo, this is Captain Uke, and his team will follow you to carry out the mission later." Sam introduced Xia Duo to his team leader, but Xia Duo felt that this introduction was a bit redundant.

He looked at the familiar big man in front of him and said with a smile, "Captain Uke, long time no see!"

"Master Xia Duo, I didn't expect it to be you? With you this time, maybe those damn goblins can be completely eliminated!" Uke was very excited.

After two mission failures, although he was not mainly responsible and was not punished by the officer, he left a bad impression on the officer. He really needs a turnaround!
"I didn't expect to meet Captain Uke on this mission. By the way, do you know how Gibb and the others are doing now?"

"In the previous war, the main force was greatly reduced. We were all transferred to the main force, but Gibb and the others were all on patrol outside, otherwise you would have seen him," Uke said.

The two chatted regardless of outsiders, which made Sam feel that he was a bit redundant, so he said goodbye to Xia Duo, "Master Xia Duo, since your side has been handed over, I will go back first. If there is any problem, You can come to the town hall to find me at any time."

"Well, I will!"
