Reckless Through The New World
Chapter 263: Port Pollock
Molai Commercial Federation is a very prosperous country. There was no country at first, but there were some supply ports for trade reasons. Then, with these supply ports as the center, villages were established, territories were divided, and finally a country was formed.
It was a long, long time ago. In the era before the mainland calendar was established, there were already many villages and towns in this land called "Molai", and some large and small countries were also established. In other words, power, when countries signed a treaty and established the continental calendar, the various forces in this land took the opportunity to reach a compromise and established a federation.
To this day, most of Molai's political, economic and culturally prosperous areas are still ports. Oceans and trade are constant themes of this country.
At the beginning of June in 778 of the continental calendar, some adventurers came to the port of Pollock in the northwest of Molai.
The captain of the guards at the gate of the city, Jera, looked at them suspiciously - at this time, shouldn't the adventurers run to the "Norma Line of Defense" in the northern part of the Federation? There is a very high salary for recruiting people. What are you doing in Pollock Harbor?
These adventurers don't seem to be wealthy. The leader is a bear man wearing a thick cloth robe. I don't know if he has some kind of disease. The hair on his body is all lost, and he doesn't look like an ordinary bear man at all. The sturdy feeling of his, it is like a taller human man - assuming that the ugly face is not considered. His body was pitch black, possibly from an injury or from a natural deformity.
Jera had seen many bearmen before, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange bearman. If it hadn't been for the answer when he asked where he came from, he wouldn't have believed that what he saw was a bear man, not a human with a deformed face.
(He looks so ugly, he is probably difficult to get along with)
He thought so, and felt a little more sympathy for the poor bear.
Bear Man's companions are three young men, one with red hair, who looks very energetic. Although he is carrying a large bag of luggage, he is still in high spirits. His red hair is cocked arrogantly. It can be seen that he is quite energetic. the young man; standing next to him was a young man leaning on a wooden stick as a cane, looking slightly smaller than him, with smooth gray and slightly blue hair, carrying a small duffel bag, and looking a little tired; the last one was a Goldilocks, smiling very kindly, but the well-informed Jera can see at a glance that she is the kind of tigress who hides a knife in her smile, I am afraid that her companions have not less than received her fists.
These four adventurers are quite down and out, almost no weapons and equipment. Only the red-haired boy has a simple half-body leather armor with an iron plate inlaid on his chest, which can barely be regarded as a heart guard. His weapon is a very ordinary one-handed sword, and the scabbard is just a piece of wood wrapped in cloth, which really makes people worry that the sword will get stuck when it is drawn.
Even such a sword that didn't even have a scabbard was already the only decent weapon for the four of them. Seeing them enter the city, Jera felt that maybe they didn't go to the Norma line of defense, which was a wise choice. .
Such an adventure team might not survive even a day if they went to the Norma defense line.
After all, the Norma line of defense is going to war with the Kingdom of Thrace!
"Damn Thracians! It's so good, why do you want to fight? Isn't it good for everyone to do business safely and make money?" Thinking of an investment that was lost due to the war, he couldn't help but scolded in a low voice.
Cursing is cursing, work is still to be done. The war on the front line did not hinder the Port of Pollock much. On the contrary, because of the war, the convoys carrying war materials increased a lot.
It is a pity that such a team does not pay the city tax, and Gera is very dissatisfied with this, but there is nothing to do.
"Master, where do we stay?" Ren asked worriedly, "I just noticed that the prices here are a bit high."
In the small adventure team composed of Panda and three apprentices, Ren played the role of butler. Although Panda is very rich, apart from Binglin, James and other super rich people, almost no one in the world has more cash on hand than him, but in order to train his apprentices, he only gave out a small amount of money. A sum of money was used as the start-up capital for the adventure team. Ren was in charge of managing the money, thinking about how to save it every day.
Walking on the streets of Pollock City, he noticed the prices of roadside shops and vendors, and his face couldn't help but turn ugly.
"Let's find a small city. According to the price estimates here, we only have enough money left to live for five or six days." He said anxiously.
Panda smiled nonchalantly: "Five or six days is enough. In fact, there is only so much money around, which is the most normal situation for lower-level adventurers. Let's go, let's go to the Adventurer's Association first and see if there is anything. Work is available."
The Adventurer's Association is an organization unique to the Federation. Merchants and adventurers united to form such an association. Adventurers register their information and task completion status here, improve their credit rating, and sell and buy various items at appropriate prices; employers can choose appropriate adventurers according to the difficulty of their tasks, either. Save money and get the job done more reliably.
Of course, not everyone can register with the Adventurer's Association, and not every quest will be accepted by them. Those adventurers with a bad reputation or lack of credit records; those employers who want to entrust some shady tasks, they can't get help here, they can only go to pubs and other "normal" idle gathering places to meet. luck.
The Adventurers Association in Pollock City is a three-story house. Although it does not occupy a large area, the walls made of stone look very solid. The square shape of the building also gives people a feeling of peace of mind.
Because of the front-line war, a large number of adventurers rushed to the Norma defense line to make a fortune in the war. The number of adventurers who stayed in Pollock City was not many, and they were not even enough to deal with the daily tasks in the city. Although the origin of the pandas is unknown, due to the lack of people, they have successfully completed the registration, but the credit evaluation is very tragic - the Adventurers Association divides the credits of adventurers into seven grades, each grade has one credit Star, and the Panda and their adventure team called "Beginners on the Road", the credit evaluation is "preparation".
Not a single star.
Erwin was very unhappy about this, and he yelled at the one-legged uncle who was in charge of the level of the Adventurer's Association for a long time, but to no avail. The uncle looked friendly, but he was very stubborn on the issue of credit evaluation. A little compromise.
Fortunately, even the lowest level of "preparation" is enough to accept some very simple tasks.
For example, looking for people -- no, looking for cats.
