Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Seck City is located in the east of the Islar continent. It is a very important transportation hub in the territory of the Holy Alliance Empire. The southern part of the mainland is extremely rich. If the caravan from the south does not choose to take a boat from Sea Breeze City to Sunrise City , If you want to transport goods to cities in the north, most of them will pass through here.

More importantly, due to historical reasons, several cities actually controlled by the imperial royal family are all in the north. Once they lose control of Seck City, they will face the blockage of the southward passage, which will eventually lead to the end of the country’s north-south split. Therefore, Senat, the original lord of Seck City, ignored the legend of the Royal Knights' invincibility and raised the battle flag.

When Senat first rebelled, many lords were also ready to move, ready to wait for him to control the situation and immediately follow in his footsteps and raise the so-called "independence" banner.However, Orlando led the Royal Knights to the south overnight, and defeated the Senate army several times in the first battle. He also sent Bacon Squadron Captain to hunt down Senat and nearly captured Senat in the first battle in Giethoorn.

Now that Sec City, the main road of communication, is directly under the jurisdiction of the empire, the young Fernando XIII also aroused ambitions in his heart, hoping to strengthen the empire’s ruling power in the south in ten years. For this purpose.

Of course, Ryan and Allendo are not clear about this. They are already standing outside the city of Seck. The wall here is not tall. Of course, this is a conclusion compared with the Imperial Capital, but the road here is indeed It was well-connected. On the way, the carriages and pedestrians were busy moving forward. Ryan and Allendo had seen four carriages running side by side on more than one occasion.During the time when Ryan came out for adventure, similar scenes could only be seen in the imperial capital. Therefore, the young Ryan was full of curiosity, what exactly is this city like?

"What are you doing here?" A soldier holding a spear at the gate said to Ryan.

Ryan knew that this was just a routine inspection. Almost all cities would do this. Of course, the ultimate goal of doing so was to collect some city entrance tax. In many places, this tax was the source of a large part of the city lord's gold coins.

"We are adventurers, come here to try our luck." Ryan said calmly as he looked at the sergeant who was about his age.

The sergeant with a leather helmet on his head and gray leather armor looked up and down Ryan and Allendo, and then gushed out a long passage like reciting: "If you want to find work You can go to the commercial district, where there are always merchants recruiting men; if you are a little capable, go to the mercenary guild; if you come to do business, you must go through the legal procedures first, otherwise it is illegal. Warning, don’t be here There is trouble in the city, otherwise the law enforcement team will make you regret coming here. In the end, the entrance tax of one silver coin per person will be given to the guy behind me to get in."

It was the first time Ryan and Elendo heard someone say this to them. Ryan asked the sergeant and said, "Why, do you still care about these things?"

The young sergeant glanced at Ryan, with a sense of pride on his face, and said triumphantly: "Will you be here for the first time? I can tell at a glance. Tell you, there are a large number of adventurers here every year. Come and try your luck, but most of them are not familiar with this place, so you must make it clear to them when they enter the city, otherwise they will cause trouble in the city and eventually affect the businessmen."

"Then why only receive one silver coin?" Allen asked: "I think other cities have at least one gold coin?"

"You don't understand, right?" The sergeant patted Alendor on the shoulder and explained, "Do you think there are many people in the city that accepts one of your gold coins, or are there many people here?"

"Of course it is here."

"Yes, we are a very important city here. Everyone has to pass from here to north and south, but if the tax to enter the city is too high, the merchants will bypass it. Without these merchants, what shall we eat? ? To say, it is our city lord Senat..."

The young sergeant didn't finish speaking, he was slapped in the face immediately, and what he was about to say was beaten back.The young sergeant clutched his aching face and yelled loudly, "Which bastard dares to hit me?"

"You don't want to live anymore?" A man wearing brand-new leather armor and a long beard, who looked like a boss, yelled at the young sergeant: "If you want to die, go to the cemetery outside the city to dig a hole. Bury yourself and don't involve others."

The young sergeant turned his head and saw that it was his captain. His face turned pale in fright. He quickly bent over and said to his beard: "I, I..."

"Get off!" The beard raised his leg and kicked the young sergeant's thigh, who ran away in relief.

Bearded looked at Ryan and Allendor with slanted eyes. Ryan and Allendor were dressed in very ordinary adventurer costumes. Ryan didn't put his magic apprentice mark on his chest.The corners of his beard's mouth moved twice, and then he said to Ryan and Elendo: "I warn you that you didn't hear anything just now. If you are wise, you can pay me to enter the city obediently, or you can go far away. of."

Although the beard was very rude, Ryan and Allendo didn't care about him. Ryan took out a silver coin, threw it to the tax collector, and walked into Seck City with Allendor.

Although the streets of Seck City are not as wide as the imperial capital, the streets are also lined with various shops. All kinds of dazzling goods, one after another cries and the crowded scenes on the street still make Ryan and Allendo I am amazed, it is really lively here, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe that there was a rebellion here more than half a year ago.

Ryan and Allendor wandered casually on the street. Most of the shops here sell daily necessities such as food and cloth. This can't attract Ryan and Allendor's interest. The two discussed a little bit and decided Still go to the mercenary guild first, and then find a place to stay.

However, both Ryan and Elendo came to Seck City for the first time and were not familiar with it. How could they know where the Mercenary Guild was?Elendo looked at Ryan and motioned to him to think of a solution.Ryan nodded, he looked around for a moment, and suddenly had an idea, he decided to use the simplest and most direct method.
