Thinking of this, Chen Mo did not shirk.
"In that case, it would be safer if we all go together. Thank you very much."
Jon smiled kindly.
"It's just about helping each other. I don't know where you are from, what is your name, and why are you going to Glory City?"
Chen Mo knew that the other party was just making casual inquiries, so he didn't pay attention. He smiled and said: "I come from the Schumacher family. You can call me Chen Mo and go to Glory City to learn to forge weapons."
Qiaoen quickly brought Chen Mo to the team and introduced the newly joined Chen Mo to everyone.
It wasn't until the group of people gathered together that there were more than forty people, and under the command of Jon, they left Hamaza Castle and embarked on a mighty journey to Glory City.
The ride was relatively peaceful.
The road everyone took was the safest one, and with so many people there, they didn't encounter wandering bandits or strange beasts.
After passing through the dangerous area near the Hamazah family, the next journey will be much safer.
People like Chen Mo who travel alone, besides him, there is also a young man named Vince, who comes from the distant Tuku family. It is said that it took half a month to get here, and he wants to go to Glory City. Learning about herbal medicine, the two naturally came together.
"Walked this far alone?"
Chen Mo looked at Vince and said in surprise: "You are too awesome!"
Facing Chen Mo's compliment, Vince said helplessly: "There is no way. The pharmacist in the castle passed away two years ago. I had to come here under the order of the lord."
Then Vince changed the topic.
"It's you. I heard that the Schumacher family is a powerful family. There must be many blacksmiths in the territory. Why are you going to Glory City to learn to be a blacksmith?"
When Chen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"I'm going to learn to forge magic equipment, not to learn to forge agricultural tools."
"ah!?"
Vince was dumbfounded and said: "Don't you still want to become a blacksmith? This may be a bit difficult. After all, in addition to a long time of polishing, those weapon refiners also need excellent qualifications, which is not that easy."
Then he couldn't help but exclaimed: "As expected of a big family, they actually want to train a blacksmith, tsk tsk."
Chen Mo was helpless. Many of the people in the castle had never left in their entire lives. Most of their thoughts were imprisoned, and their individual consciousness was relatively weak.
"I'm just trying my luck, just take it one step at a time."
Vince shrugged.
"Good luck."
"ah!!"
at this time.
A cry of pain came from the rear of the team.
This kind of thing is not uncommon along the way. Vince said enthusiastically: "Someone must have been poisoned again. I'm going to see if I can treat him."
The team was not moving very fast. Chen Mo had nothing to do and simply followed.
This was an old man carrying a girl on his back, gritting his teeth and screaming in pain.
His left leg seemed to have been bitten by some poisonous insect, and it had turned purple and swollen. Seeing this, Vince said confidently: "It's a small problem, it's not a deadly poisonous insect. I happen to have some symptomatic herbs here that I collected on the road. You old man are very lucky!"
There are only a few poisons that Vince can treat, and the poison the old man was poisoned happened to be one of them.
"But my granddaughter..."
Only then did Chen Mo notice that the little girl next to the old man was about seven or eight years old. Her body was covered in red spots and she seemed to have a high fever.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Mo learned.
The old man wanted to take his granddaughter to Glory City to find his son, the girl's father, and ask a more skilled pharmacist to treat the girl's illness.
And in his current situation, he can't even take care of himself. Obviously, he can no longer carry the girl on his back.
"What are you looking at?"
Vince, a hot-blooded young man, said immediately: "One for each person, do you choose?"
Vince looked at Chen Mo naturally, while Chen Mo was speechless.
I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when I thought that I, a natural disaster victim, would start to respect the elderly, care for the young, and be willing to help others here.
This must not be known to other natural disaster victims.
"Just think of it as a way to integrate into the new environment and exercise extra hard at the same time."
Chen Mo comforted himself.
After picking up the little girl, she said in a daze: "Thank you, brother."
When Vince heard this, he stood up straight and said with an upright manly air, "Don't worry, you will be fine soon."
"I'm really troubling you."
The old man was supported by Vince and said apologetically.
Chen Mo also showed a righteous attitude and responded: "It is natural to help each other outside."
after one day.
"Is that the City of Glory!"
Not only Chen Mo, but also many people in the team came to the City of Glory for the first time.
Take Vince, for example, and this pair of grandfather and grandson.
Chen Mo and Vince became familiar with the grandfather and grandson along the way. At this moment, as the fog suddenly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, their vision suddenly opened up, and they saw a city built halfway up the mountain.
The towering city walls are far beyond the comparison of family castles such as Schumacher and Huiyao.
Although there are some cultivated fields around Glory City, they are far from enough to feed the large population in the city. The city built under the crater has sulfur, iron ore and other advanced technologies that are scarce among the surrounding families. Craftsmanship.
This way.
There is an endless stream of merchants who trade with each other, driving the development of Glory City.
The speed of their feet increased, and when everyone arrived at Glory City, they naturally dispersed. After all, it was just a temporary and loose team. There were no special rules except for jointly defending against enemies when encountering dangers along the way.
After this day of recuperation, the swelling caused by the poisoning of the old man had been basically eliminated. He once again carried his granddaughter on his back, thanked the two of them profusely and said goodbye.
"Hehe, the lord has already arranged a good relationship for me. In the next two years, I will be an apprentice at the Herbal Medicine Studio in the north of the city. You can come and see me when you have time."
After Chen Mo took note of it, he waved goodbye to Vince.
When dealing with the poisonous skin of the Demon Swamp Giant Toad in the future, we will indeed need the other party to provide some information, but this matter is not urgent for the time being.
In Glory City, people are coming and going.
The vast majority of people here are adventurers who come and go, exploring the fog and obtaining various resources. It can be said that they have been living a life of licking blood since they were born.
Chen Mo had already inquired about it when he was in the Schumacher family.
The so-called city lords of Glory City in the past were all strong men who stood out from among the adventurers. Compared with the few city guards controlled by the city lords, the real center of power in Glory City is actually an organization called the Adventurers Association. .
This organization can be found almost everywhere humans have set foot.
It can even be said that the city lord of Glory City is just a spokesperson elected by the Adventurers Association. He is responsible for managing public security and maintaining stability and dignity, nothing more.
It's already afternoon.
After Chen Mo briefly walked around the city, he confirmed the general distribution of the city.
In addition to the Adventurer's Guild occupying the prosperous area in the center of the city, various workshops and vendors in the city divide the city into different blocks. The blacksmithing workshop that Chen Mo is looking for is in a block in the north of the city, and in the south of the city where Vince is. The herbal medicine district is far away from each other.
"Let's rent a house first and have a place to stay before we talk."
It seems that he was affected by his experience in the hive world. Although Chen Mo was carrying a large amount of silver coins, which was enough to sustain him to live a prosperous life for the next year, he still came to this relatively dilapidated civilian neighborhood.
After asking around, he rented a single room.
The landlord was an aunt in her fifties. She was dark and thin, but had the impression of a street office in Chen Mo's impression. She kept looking at Chen Mo.
"Fifty copper coins per month, and the rent is collected on time at the end of the month. Although Glory City is a mixed bag, Meishi Street is not a place where filth and evil practices are hidden. The identities and occupations of the residents must be registered every month, and will be checked regularly. Check, if you have done anything shameful, you'd better leave now, I'll pretend I haven't seen you."
Prices in Glory City are undoubtedly much higher than those in the castle.
certainly.
It also depends on what it is. If it is weapons, sulfur and the like, it will be cheaper.
Even after Chen Mo confessed his identity and purpose, took out three silver coins, and paid half a year's rent, the landlord seemed to be in a much better mood when he saw Chen Mo's neat actions.
"Since you are here to be an apprentice, you should find a master as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble during the verification. This is the key. If you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved, you can come to me at any time."
After a hurried explanation, the landlady left.
It is not difficult to judge from her aura that she should be a reputable person in this Meishi Street, commonly known as a local snake.
The room was so small that it could only accommodate a bed.
There are public toilets and bathing places on the streets.
After Chen Mo simply tidied up the house and put away the supplies he brought with him, he noticed a little boy about five or six years old, lying at the door, secretly looking at him.
A little surprised.
Chen Mo was about to say hello, but when the little boy saw Chen Mo looking at him, he shyly ran into the next room.
It turned out to be a neighbor's child.
The sun sets.
Chen Mo walked out of the room, stretched out, and saw the child just now hiding behind a woman, smiling at him. The woman who was sewing looked up, and when she saw Chen Mo, she smiled politely, and then He lowered his head again and continued sewing the clothes in his hands.
Chen Mo was stunned when he saw this.
I have to say, this beautiful woman is really charming!
Even though they were dressed plainly, they still couldn't hide their beauty. Although the two of them only looked at each other for a short time, it was still unforgettable for Chen Mo. This is probably the so-called white teeth and eyebrows, and the autumn water, right?
Just didn't expect it.
In the civilian area where I chose to live, I was actually a little surprised that there was a beautiful woman living as my neighbor.
"Are you new here?"
At this time.
A fat woman holding a baby next to her asked with a smile after seeing Chen Mo's surprise.
"Well, hello, my name is Chen Mo."
After the fat woman introduced herself to Chen Mo, she obviously knew that he was surprised by his beautiful female neighbor.
"Her husband died outside a few years ago, and later he came here with his children to work as a tailor. He made a living by mending adventurers and people around him. I heard that many people were paying attention to her, young man. , you also have a chance."
When Chen Mo heard this, he smiled awkwardly.
Although he was surprised that such a beauty lived here, he was just curious.
Not to mention that he is practicing boy skills and his identity as a natural disaster victim, his emotional and psychological age is just that of an ordinary high school student, or college student, who has been single for many years.
He has no intention of becoming a stepfather just for the sake of a kiss.
He chatted casually with the fat woman for a while and learned that her husband was a quarryman. Although his income was decent, he had a very poor life because he had a sick mother and four children to feed.
certainly.
Even so, according to her, it is much better than the common people in some small family castles.
As the sun went down, the fat woman's husband finally came back dusty.
He didn't look tall, and the burden of life seemed to have weighed him down. He was not very good at words. After seeing Chen Mo, the new neighbor, he just smiled politely and was attracted by the fat woman. I went to take a shower and eat.
Gulu.
Chen Mo was also a little hungry.
But this time, Chen Mo didn't intend to wrong himself in terms of food, so he quickly came to a restaurant with quite good business.
Most of the people who come here to spend money are adventurers who carry weapons with them.
They ate meat and drank wine and showed off their adventures. They were quite free and easy. After Chen Mo sat down, he also ordered a special delicacy here, five-flavor carbon naan.
I saw them placing the live thin noodles directly on the charcoal, pressing them evenly, and lighting some hay with a scent similar to incense on the top of the noodles, and then used a sharp knife from the outer layer of the barbecue. The dagger quickly cut off a large plate of fat and thin golden roasted meat.
The refreshing smell of meat, accompanied by the sizzling sound of oil, immediately whetted Chen Mo's appetite.
These barbecued meats seem to come from several different animals. With years of barbecue experience, they are artificially mixed and skewered on a barbecue grill.
Next came a large glass of crude ale, a small plate of dipping sauce, a small plate of spicy vegetables similar to onions, and a small plate of fruits and vegetables.
Chen Mo couldn't help but start feasting.
After the oil was rubbed, squeezed, and flowed between the mouth, the wonderful feeling of mixing the spices and entering the depth of the throat immediately made Chen Mo's fatigue from the past few days disappear.
"Guest, your carbon naan is here!"
Although the charcoal ash on this piece of naan bread cooked over charcoal fire has been cleaned, there is still some residue, but it adds an original fragrance to it.
The pale gold case exudes an aroma of original flavor.
After Chen Mo tore off a piece, the dough, which was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, entered his mouth. It not only absorbed the greasiness in his mouth, but also let the aroma linger between his lips and teeth.
"Haha, this is what our men who lick blood at the edge of their swords should eat!"
An adventurer was eating five-flavor grilled naan and laughing heartily, as if he had forgotten all his troubles after taking this delicious bite.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
