The origin of the mercenary guild is the east coast. We have mentioned this a long time ago. Tianlai novels www. 』⒉
Just like anything else, once an industry begins to grow, the "hidden rules" that have been agreed upon within the industry in the past no longer apply as its scale increases. When there are only a few people, relying on mutual familiarity and their own level as a binding method will be completely eliminated when the scale of the industry becomes larger and more and more newcomers enter the industry to make a living.
Therefore, it is natural that many things were born on the prosperous East Coast.
Today's mercenary guild has experienced a long period of development and has become a huge transnational organization without the royal family and royal family. It maintains delicate relationships with major empires and kingdoms, and obtains huge profits from it. People who have been certified by the mercenary guild can also have a series of privileges, in addition to being divided into remuneration and having to complete some mercenary tasks regularly.
The east and west coasts are different.
On the poor and war-torn west coast, no one cares who you are. People walking on the roads with weapons and armor are everywhere. But on the east coast, especially big cities like Parnira are typical examples. , more than one day is obviously not enough for our Luoan girl to get used to the relatively peaceful and orderly atmosphere.
After yesterday's shopping and wandering, the group of them had settled down more or less. Minna, who was carrying the royal certificate of Avenella, had successfully contacted the local officials of Parnilla. After returning, Dame Jin fearfully told her companions about the matter and explained it to our sage. Little Mira's precautions are exactly the same.
Avenella's special envoy from a small country went to negotiate with Padrosi Empire officials. Minna was prepared to be ignored, but she never expected that the other party would be so enthusiastic.
Although she has made up for things related to it in the book, as a noble of Avenella, Minna has never left the west coast in her life. When she thinks of Padrosi, her first impression is "an enlarged version that is more powerful." "Sivalier" - and if the object of this negotiation is to be replaced by a Sivalier who is in an advantageous position, then the other party will definitely show a look of looking at people with their nostrils and ignore them.
After all, no matter how you think about it, there is a huge gap in the status of both parties.
However, it is precisely because of this pride that Silvalier failed to foresee the rise of Avenella and is now in such a situation. Therefore, although it is somewhat uncomfortable to be ignored and ignored psychologically, on the whole, But it has a lot of benefits for Avenella.
As a small kingdom, making a fortune in silence is what you should do. Attracting too much unnecessary attention at this stage will only cause you to be strangled in the cradle.
But it was precisely because the top person in charge of Parnilla - called the "Governor" according to Padrosi - paid so much attention to their envoys from a humble country that the Baroness of Jin felt trembling all over.
The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.
Although he was in a high position, he was not blindly arrogant. The governor's depth in the city immediately wiped away Minna's previous thoughts of "an enlarged version of Sivalier".
After she came back, she barely spent much time to rest before hurriedly throwing herself into the work of dealing with various related matters. This attitude of the other party made the Dame understand that she must be more cautious. The previous plan was used to deal with such an opponent. is far from enough. After the Avenella embassy arranged by Governor Parnilla was decided, Minna only said a brief goodbye to Henry and Mira and left the hotel.
Even if they are close in private, due to their origins and status, the paths she has taken are completely different. Mira looked at this person who could be regarded as her sister, and her mood was a little complicated for a while.
This is the case in life and encounters. The distance will become farther and farther depending on the direction of travel.
Not only Ming Na, but Mira herself also immediately started to become busy due to the pressure of life.
In a hurry, they packed up and had a night's rest. Together with Muna and her group, they headed towards the mercenary guild in the city center. Henry and Mira must go to the local area to log in. Every registered mercenary goes to a place where there is a guild. They must do this kind of thing. If they don't record it, they will escape their obligations. Naturally, So don't expect to have any special privileges.
Muna, Mohammed and others who were born in the grassland wanted to register as mercenaries for the convenience of future activities within the Padrosi Empire.
One of the privileges related to mercenary registration that they are interested in is the right to freely bear arms in cities within the jurisdiction of the guild branch——
This privilege is not obvious on the chaotic West Coast, but it becomes particularly important when you come to the more civilized and orderly East Coast.
As a port city, Parnira needs to welcome a large number of people and tourists every day. Not to mention that within the Padrosi Empire and many other kingdoms and principalities on the east coast, many urban areas are actually prohibited from carrying weapons wantonly.
In addition to the nobles restricting the common people from having the means to resist themselves, this matter is also inseparable from the overall environment.
Unlike the dirty West Coast countryside, people here live a peaceful life under order, so weapons are not so necessary. With a complete security team patrolling, ordinary people carrying weapons is just a decorative function. And when a quarrel with other people turns into a fight, if you have a weapon in your hand, it is very likely that it will turn into a bloody tragedy on impulse.
To sum up, in short, even in a port city like Parnira, people without identification documents can only walk openly and carry weapons in the neighborhoods near the dock.
Going deeper and closer to the residential areas of nobles and wealthy businessmen, if someone carries a weapon but does not wear a mercenary ID card or wears clothing with obvious aristocratic decorations, they will be regarded as potential criminals and will be policed. The team is being targeted.
The words return to their original place.
The weather in Parnilla seems to be sunny all the time. When walking on the street, you can often see leisurely and elegant residents watering potted plants on the second-floor balconies of bright, warm-colored houses. Perhaps because it matches the warm weather, people here are very fond of golden daisies. They not only designate it as the national flower, but most people also put a pot in the corner of their balcony.
The journey to the Mercenary Guild in the city center is not short, but thanks to the mature and effective city street planning and the directional signs that can be seen everywhere, even newcomers can still easily find their way as long as they are literate.
The market that Henry and his party went to yesterday is located to the south of Parnilla. If you look at it from the road extending from the port terminal, it will be a Y-shape that is slightly tilted to the right. The branch on the right leads to the hotel where they live and the large market. As long as you walk out of the hotel and follow the road, you can easily enter the market. This is where most travelers and visitors live. The area is also located here.
Today they are taking the Y-shaped road to the left, which is also the main road of Parnilla.
Walking along this road, towards the south, the wide main road draws a huge "C" on the northern periphery of the market and hotel area, and the upper end is the city center in Nancheng District.
If you want to take a shortcut, you can get there faster by going directly through the market. However, the time they left is in the morning, and the bustling Shangxiajie area is crowded with people. If you choose to go there, you will only be stuck in the crowd for a long time. It's just that I can't move.
And in a beautiful city like Parnilla, it is an excellent enjoyment to slowly walk along the wide and smooth main road.
The first thing you see after crossing the private hotel and commercial market area is the neat four-story high-rise buildings across the wide road. These buildings, mainly made of masonry and painted with bright colors, are very much in the style of the East Coast. The square white marble stairs and columns give a classical Raman charm, while the glass windows with mahogany frames above are very contemporary.
This series of buildings are the offices of major chambers of commerce and various institutions. Compared with small private hotels and shops, their appearance alone looks more imposing. When entering the more prosperous city interior, various buildings are more impressive. Various large and small carriages also began to appear in large numbers.
Just over twenty minutes away, the scene here is completely different from the port and hotel area.
Noble ladies and ladies in fine clothes and wealthy businessmen travel in reddish-brown wooden carriages. Due to the warm and sunny climate, Padrosi-style carriages are mostly open-topped. The burgundy velvet seats give people a comfortable and soft feeling even when viewed from a distance, while the foldable awnings made of bamboo frames and breathable fabrics provide excellent sun protection for these delicate nobles. Protect.
A carriage like this would not go to the docks and hotels.
Businessmen and ladies from aristocratic families only frequent these various offices all year round. This is where real large transactions are processed. Although the batch market is already very hot and looks amazing in scale, the largest part of the Nanjing and Otolo merchant ships anchored in the port, the person in charge of the transaction has crossed the market and directly entered these beautiful big houses to handle various matters. of matters.
Batch markets are aimed at small and medium-sized individual traders, and most of them are managed and sold by branches of these chambers of commerce. After reaching a larger scale, it is necessary to directly negotiate with these elites of upper class society.
To herself, that could almost be regarded as a person from another world - Mira thought after the sage explained it to her.
The neat houses extend all the way to the city center, and next to the tall clock tower, it is larger than any chamber of commerce office, with the black flag of Padrosi and various nobles hanging on it. The central building with the heraldic flag dazzling in the sun is exactly the destination of the group's trip - the headquarters of the Parnilla Mercenary Guild.
This gorgeous and majestic building is separated by a wall from the central square of Parnilla. There are three six-story fountains in the center of the huge and empty square. The shallow pools reflect the bright sky, and after being surrounded by these three already The center surrounded by a very impressive white jade fountain is a huge statue that towers into the sky and can be seen from the pier.
The bronze statue is tens of meters high. Standing at a close distance, you can see the traces of detailed pouring and splicing. When she was at sea, the white girl couldn't see clearly due to the distance. She thought she was reaching out to throw something, but now she stood below and realized that her posture was not as peaceful and serene as "spreading light to the world" - even though it was not wearing clothes. The armor was in Laman style and the expression did not look aggressive, but the muscular right hand was clearly clenched into a fist, and the index finger was hard and powerful, pointing straight to the end of the sea.
"Charlemagne 'Vesevolodia' Constantine Sextus" statue has a huge black marble base at the bottom. Each letter has a two-meter-high Lamani script that reads the life of the figure. , and after Mira whispered the name, Henry next to him shrugged his shoulders for a long time and said.
"Although he was said to have 'conquered the West,' he never even saw the west coast until his death. So this statue was built here to point to the west coast forever, so that travelers who come and go can pay homage to this great emperor. His dignity and dignity." The sage said, Mira rolled her eyes, then turned around and walked to the mercenary guild with him.
...
Compared to other buildings that are very characteristic of Padrosi, despite its majestic appearance, the interior of the Mercenary Guild gave the girl a strong sense of familiarity.
Because the same rules are followed, the interior decoration is the same as those on the West Coast. Although the scale is extremely large, the staff at the front desk, the rest area next to it, and the assessment office on the second floor have mercenary levels on the wooden boards. Color-coded mission announcements, the white girl who was unfamiliar with the place after arriving in Parnilla, felt at ease as if she had gone home the moment she entered this place.
"Really." She shook her head in amusement. Henry and Mohammed on the side briefly explained the registration process and then came over. The two of them walked towards the front desk staff responsible for mercenary login. Go.
The scale is huge and there are many people, so there are more than 20 staff responsible for handling business. The long wooden table drew a semicircle and covered a large area of the front room. In the rest area behind them, many mercenaries were sitting on benches and chatting casually. Various languages and dialects were heard one after another, making it very lively. Even though there were more than 20 front desk staff, Henry and Mira still took pictures of the team for a while before finally It's their turn.
"Welcome home, do you need to register?" Due to their natural affinity and attentiveness, most of the guild's front desk staff are women. At the place Henry and Mira chose, the lady at the front desk had dark hair and fair skin. Even though she was sitting, it could be seen that she was much taller than the others. If she stood up, she would be the same as Mira. degree of similarity.
"Yes." The white girl was ranked before the sage. She replied, and the other party responded with a polite smile: "Then please give me your mercenary card." The front desk lady said this, Mi Ra nodded, then took off his blue badge from his belt and handed it to the other party.
"Where's the blue card? There are not many female adventurers. How old are you?" The black staff member said to her while handling the work.
"14" Mira replied. The other party was a little surprised by this answer, but then she returned to a very friendly smile: "It's amazing."
The staff said this, but Mira's attention was attracted by the wooden name plate placed in front of her desk - this kind of thing will be placed at the front desk of the mercenary guild. After all, it will be easy to introduce yourself again and again. Very time consuming.
"tan...ja..." The name of this structure made the girl frown. She seemed to have seen a similar name somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"Tanjia?" Mira blinked her bright eyes, and the female staff member was stunned for a moment and explained in a funny way: "No, it is indeed a mistake that people often make."
"I'm from the north, j is the sound of y, and the ta in front are connected together."
"So the correct pronunciation should be, ta-n-ja, Tanya." The other party said with a smile: "Your companion looks like a fellow countryman of mine. I thought you would know the correct pronunciation. ." Tanya said, and Mira turned back to glance at the sage, who shrugged.
"Okay, the entry procedures have been completed."
"Welcome to Padrosi."
