lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!

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 continent is extremely rich. If the caravan from the south does not choose to take a ship from Sea Breeze City In the case of 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 obstruction of the southward passage, which will eventually lead to the division of the country from the north to the south. Therefore, Senat, the former lord of Seck, ignored the legend of the Royal Knights of 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 Senat 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 the city of Sec, the main road of transportation, is directly under the jurisdiction of the empire, and the young Fernando XIII has aroused ambitions in his heart, hoping to strengthen the empire’s ruling power in the south in ten years. This time An confidant is also 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 here The road is indeed extending in all directions. On the way, the carriages and pedestrians are busy moving forward. Ryan and Allendo have seen four carriages in parallel 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 knows that this is just a routine inspection. Almost all cities will do this. Of course, the ultimate goal of this is to collect some city entrance tax. In many places, this tax is a large part of the city lord. Source of gold coins.

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

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 To find a job, you can go to the commercial area, where there will always be merchants recruiting men; if you are capable, go to the mercenary guild; if you come to do business, you must go through the legal procedures first, otherwise it is illegal. Warn you, thousand Don't make trouble in the city, otherwise the law enforcement team will make you regret coming here. Finally, the city tax of one silver coin per person will be handed over to the guy behind me to get in."

It was the first time Ryan and Allendo 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 come for the first time? I can see it at a glance. Tell you, there will be a large number of people here every year. The adventurers from here come to try their luck, but most of them are not familiar with this place, so they must make it clear to them when they enter the city, otherwise they will cause trouble in the city and eventually affect the merchants."

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

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

"Of course it is here."

"Yes, we are a very important city here. Everyone has to pass through here from north to south, but if the tax on entering the city is too high, businessmen will bypass this place. Without these merchants, we What to eat? To say, it's 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 shouted loudly: "Which **** dares to hit me?"

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

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

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

Bearded and looked at Ryan and Allendor with slanted eyes. Ryan and Allendor were dressed in very ordinary adventurer costumes. Ryan did not 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 his beards were very rude, Ryan and Ellendor didn’t care about him. Ryan took out a silver coin, threw it to the tax collector, and walked into Seck with Elendor. city.

Although the streets of Seck City are not as wide as the imperial capital, they are lined with various shops on both sides of the street. A variety of dazzling goods, one after another cries and the crowded scenes on the street still make Ryan and Allen was amazed, it was really lively here, if it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, no one would believe that a rebellion took place 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 does not attract the interest of Ryan and Allendor. The two discussed a little bit. After a while, I decided to go to the mercenary guild first, and then find a place to stay.

However, both Ryan and Ellendor have come to Seck City for the first time, and are not familiar with it. How can they know where the Mercenary Guild is? 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.
