Chapter 5
Herib City is one of the ten main cities of the Gala Kingdom, but Herib City is the most economically prosperous one for three reasons.
First, Herib City is adjacent to six countries and is a military stronghold of the Kingdom of Galla. It is adjacent to the Kingdom of Qin in the east, the Kingdom of Liles in the south, and four small countries in the west. Therefore, if the Kingdom of Qin and the Kingdom of Liles want to wage war against the Kingdom of Galla, Herib City will be the first target! Therefore, Herib City has a permanent garrison of 600,000 troops to respond to sudden military situations.
Secondly, the city of Herib is adjacent to the Monster Forest in the north, and is the city where mercenaries and adventure teams appear most frequently. Therefore, Herib is also the city with the most magic cores and monster furs traded in the entire Gala Kingdom every year, which also brings extremely rich tax revenue to the Gala Kingdom.
The third reason is that Herib City has a Herib Academy that is famous throughout the continent! Herib Academy is the second academy in the Kingdom of Gala, second only to the Gala Royal Academy in the capital Gala! Herib Academy has rigorous teaching, strong faculty, and most of the students are very qualified, so Herib Academy sends a group of high-level warriors and magicians to the Kingdom of Gala every year!
With a garrison of 600,000 troops, countless mercenaries and adventure teams, and a huge influx of students, it is these three factors that have created the economic and strategic position of the city of Herib!
At this moment, Xia Yang and his companions were already sitting in the most upscale Qianlixiang Restaurant in the city. They were eating and drinking heartily, looking as if they had not eaten enough for several years. Even Lisa had lost her magician's elegance, with greasy beads rolling down her alluring little mouth. A young man who looked like a waiter was standing by, with a flattering smile on his face, asking from time to time if they wanted more food or wine.
Of course, Xia Yang and his party were not treated like this at the beginning. Looking at the tattered equipment on everyone, the guys had only contempt and disdain in their eyes, and even ignored their greetings. Only when Xia Yang lightly threw out a fourth-level magic core, everything changed, and this led to the current situation.
An hour later, everyone finally finished eating and drinking. Jill burped happily, rubbing her belly with one hand. Lisa then remembered the food fight just now. It was really unfair to her identity as a magician. She looked at Xia Yang with resentment, who was still smiling faintly.
Tari, Tucker and Beth were in better condition, but they also looked a little drunk.
At this time, Tari said: "Brother Xia Yang, I, Tari, am very happy to meet you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, our brothers will go through fire and water for you! Although it may be a bit presumptuous to say these words, this is the intention of our entire team!" After Tari finished speaking, the other team members also looked at Xia Yang with affirmative eyes.
Xia Yang smiled slightly, bowed and said: "Brother Tari, what are you talking about? If there is a need, I will not be polite to my brothers."
"Haha! That's right! By the way, brother, what are your plans next?" Tari asked. Although Tari really hoped that Xia Yang could stay in the adventure team, he also knew that this was simply impossible. With Xia Yang's strength, how could he stay in an adventure team? So he did not ask Xia Yang to stay.
Sure enough, Xia Yang smiled and said, "I plan to stay in Herib City for a while, but I don't have any specific plans yet."
"Oh, that's good. If you want to look for us, brother, our team will settle points at the Mercenary Guild in the city on the first morning of every month. You can come find us then." Although Tari knew that the chance of meeting in the future was slim, he still left a contact address for Xia Yang with hope.
"Well, I will definitely come to see you all when I have time!" Xia Yang said with a smile.
"Okay, that's it. Next we'll go to the Mercenary Guild to hand in the quest. Brother, do you want to go over and take a look?" Tari said.
Xia Yang thought that since it was nothing to do, he might as well go to the Mercenary Guild and see if he could gain something. It was said that the Mercenary Guild was omniscient and would help him as long as he had enough gold coins!
A group of people walked out of Qianlixiang crookedly, and only Xia Yang shook his head with a bitter smile. To be honest, the fine wine Qianlixiang mentioned by Tari was really not that good in Xia Yang's eyes! It tasted like water to Xia Yang! Xia Yang thought, if he had time to brew a few bottles of spirit wine, wouldn't it make these drunkards greedy to death?
On the busy streets, people of all kinds walked around, including ragged poor people, warriors with swords, and occasionally a few magicians with magic wands. Of course, the magicians ended their journey in the eyes of people's flattery and admiration. However, none of these attracted Xia Yang's attention. The only thing that caught Xia Yang's attention was the nobles riding tall horses and sitting in luxurious carriages in the city.
Of course, Xia Yang had no envy or yearning in his eyes, only contempt and anger! Once on Earth, Xia Yang was sent to the mortal world by Ling Feng to study for a few years. Although he encountered many ugly phenomena, it was generally civilized and harmonious. However, the aristocratic system on the Tianlan Continent has fundamentally subverted Xia Yang's civil rights thinking.
Xia Yang even witnessed with his own eyes a scene where a poor boy was whipped and flew away in front of a noble's carriage because the coachman couldn't dodge in time. With Xia Yang's character, he would have taken action, but Tari saw the opportunity early and stopped it in a hurry, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
Led by Tari, the group crossed two streets and bypassed three alleys before finally arriving at the gate of the Mercenary Guild's branch in Herib City.
In front of a magnificent building, there stood a huge stone tablet with the words: Mercenary Guild Herib City Branch. The ten large gold-plated characters were dazzling!
Tari was the first to enter, followed by Xia Yang and others. They saw that the space inside the union was as big as two basketball courts, but it was also crowded with people. All kinds of noisy sounds were heard. Some were arguing for tasks, some were arguing over their own conflicts, some were handing over tasks, and some unconscious mercenaries were even chatting with the staff at the service desk, but they only received cold looks in response from the staff.
These mercenaries are a mixed bag, with all kinds of people living on the edge of a knife. How can they have high quality? Like the Brothers Adventure Team in Tari, they just have too little strength now, and have no capital to show off! With poor strength, they can only be submissive and humble! If Tari was a warrior above level five, he would not have to hand over anything to the city gate guards!
Tari took the team members to hand in the mission, while Xia Yang looked around casually.
Xia Yang simply looked at the architectural layout of the Mercenary Guild. The guild was mainly divided into three areas. The hall in the middle was responsible for handing over tasks, the left side was the task bar, and the right side was the place for adventure teams and mercenary groups to register.
After looking around, Xia Yang walked towards the task bar to see if there were any strange tasks.
There were dozens of tables in front of the task bar, and at each table sat a few mercenaries or adventure team members, who were eating peanuts and drinking wine. Xia Yang was stunned, but then he thought about it and guessed that these people were probably sent to wait for tasks. Once there was a task suitable for their team, they could take the task at the first time.
When Xia Yang came to the task bar, he was stunned again when he saw the task pinned to the top: "Recruiting teachers?"
