With Sister Alyssa as his guarantor, Marco had no difficulty entering Keen City.
Sister Alyssa lives in the south of Keen City. Because she is a member of the Ayr Chamber of Commerce, the carriage can be stored at the Chamber of Commerce's storage facility.
After depositing the carriage and goods, as soon as Sister Elisa entered the door of the Chamber of Commerce, a fat man in rich clothes came up to her, picked up little Sansa and put her in his arms, complaining:
"Little Lisa, little Sansa is back. Your brother is almost dying of anxiety - little Lisa, why did you take little Sansa out? She is only five years old!"
"Uncle Rico, Sansa got into the truck and hid it. We didn't find it until we got to Marion Town. I can't let the caravan turn back."
"Little Sansa, is that true?" The fat man Rico turned his head and stared fiercely at the little girl in his arms.
"Hehehe, I want to help my sister. In the future, I will look around like my sister and Brother Marco, so I don't want to stay at home all day." Sansa was not afraid of the big fat Rico at all, and even reached out to Grab his beard.
"Brother Marco?" Rico turned his head and saw Marco leaning against the corner.
Rico was surprised. Even though he was so fat now that he couldn't even put on armor, he was also a good warrior back then. His hearing and eyesight were not to mention, but he didn't feel anything when such a big living person was standing nearby.
"If it weren't for Brother Marco, my sister and I would have been killed by thieves this time - people from the Bean Chamber of Commerce might have died." Sansa told the unfortunate news in the innocent tone of a little girl.
Although she is a little girl, death is common in this era. Even Elisa and Sansa's father was killed by bandits. It can only be said that she is used to it.
The Bean Chamber of Commerce is another chamber of commerce in Keen City. If the Al Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce jointly established by some retired soldiers and adventurers, the Bean Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce jointly established by some craftsmen and small traders.
These two chambers of commerce are not big chambers of commerce. They stick together to support each other and resist the suppression of the big chambers of commerce. They have a good relationship. In recent years, there has even been a trend of joining forces.
"There was a bandit attack? People from Bean Chamber of Commerce were killed by bandits? Are you sure?" Rico was shocked.
The trade route from Keen City to Maluwei City is a mature trade route. There are no large-scale thieves groups, and the nearby beasts and monsters have been cleared away. Small caravans can also run their businesses safely, otherwise he would not Alyssa is a girl who runs business routes with people from the Bean Chamber of Commerce.
"Uncle Rico, don't listen to Sansa. The people from the Bean Chamber of Commerce fled into the mountains. Nothing may have happened. But Sansa and I were left behind by them - if Mr. Marco hadn't saved us, we would never have met again. It's your turn." Alyssa didn't have a good tone when talking about the people of Bean Chamber of Commerce.
She understood that the people from the Bien Chamber of Commerce abandoned their sisters and fled for their lives, but that didn't mean she had a good impression of the people from the Bien Chamber of Commerce.
If it were just her, she might still bring it with her, but a little girl like Sansa has short legs, so taking it with her when running for her life would be a recipe for death.
The real world is not like the Madonnas in modern movies. When it comes to life and death, those old people and children who have no ability to protect themselves will definitely be the first to be left behind. From this point of view, human beings are not much nobler than animals.
Rico looked at the two sisters carefully, and after confirming that they were not injured, he said: "No, no, no, this is not just a matter of the Bean Chamber of Commerce. It is not a good thing for a group of thieves to appear on the trade road. I want to go to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance." Tell me."
There are many people in the Al Chamber of Commerce who can fight, but this kind of thing is not the business of the Al Chamber of Commerce family, and sister Alyssa was not injured, so Rico will not blame this kind of thing entirely on himself.
If he didn't have this slickness, he wouldn't be the president of the Al Chamber of Commerce.
After talking to sisters Alyssa, Rico turned around and apologized to Marco: "Brothers Marco, don't be offended. Alyssa's father died early, and I am half the father of these two little girls, especially It's Sansa, the child who is the pistachio of our El Brotherhood, who suddenly disappeared this time, which frightened us."
Of course Marco (Lu Wu) didn't care about this. He waved his hand and mentioned that he would sell the goods and swords and weapons on the carriage he brought in order to exchange for some money and establish a foothold in Keen City.
I want to collect information on the power system of this world, and naturally the more prosperous and upper-level people are, the easier it is to get this kind of information.
Jien City was the first city he saw in this world. Although it was not as big as Songjing, it was not much smaller than Tonghe City, with at least 50,000 to 60,000 people living there.
In a world without industrialization, this would be considered a big city, so Marco (Lu Wu) decided to settle here first, build a reputation, get into the upper echelons, and collect information to get twice the result with half the effort.
"It's easy to sell things. Brother Marco saved Sister Alisa and is our brother. I will definitely give you a good price." Rico's chest shook wildly, but when it came to buying a house in Keen City, he felt a little Difficult.
"Keen City has regulations. If you want to buy a house here, you must have at least three years of tax records, and you must have a reliable person as a guarantee. It is convenient to make a guarantee. Our Al Brotherhood is very familiar with the city defense army. We can find just a few people. Yes, but the tax records for the past three years are just——"
"Is there any way to get around it?" Marco saw that although the fat man looked embarrassed, he didn't say it couldn't be done. Naturally, he knew that the fat man had some tricks, but he just had to pay the price.
"If you can complete some tasks issued by the city hall and get rewards from the city hall, you can bypass this rule. Another way is to find a noble to vouch for you, and you can also bypass this rule." Rico quickly explained. .
I don't know why, although the young man in front of him didn't look like a powerful warrior in terms of body and muscles, when he stood in front of the other party, Rico still felt guilty and short of breath, so he quickly explained, fearing that the other party would mistakenly think that he was ungrateful.
"Well, where can I see the mission of the city hall?" Marco asked.
"The Sword and Spirits Tavern in the east of the city, the Carriage and Adventurer's Club in the west of the city are all fine. The closest one to us is the Keen City Mercenary Guild, which is two streets away from here.
The tasks in the mercenary guild are not complete, they are all tasks specifically for mercenary groups; if you want to fly solo, the tasks in the carriage and adventurer clubs are more suitable, but the information on many tasks there is unclear and the risks are relatively high; If you are willing to accept employment, there are more opportunities in the Sword and Spirit Tavern. "
Rico gave Marco an overview of the characteristics of the three locations.
The south of Keen City is where the Chamber of Commerce gathers. Chambers of Commerce are generally willing to cooperate with reputable mercenary groups for a long time and rarely hire strangers;
The carriage and Adventurer's Club on the west side of the city are the base camp for adventurers.
Spies who are exploring treasures, opening up new trade routes, and gathering information about surrounding forces often come here - lone masters generally like to go there.
The Sword and Spirits Tavern in the east of the city, although it is called a tavern, is very large, including several hotels, markets, casinos and martial arts halls. It covers an area almost as much as a market, but it was originally developed from a tavern. , so the name Swords and Spirits is still retained.
It was a place where novices who had practiced some combat skills gathered together. The mission level was relatively low, but it was easy to find a master.
Nobles hiring guards, captains recruiting sailors, mercenary groups recruiting new recruits, and even gangsters recruiting thugs will all go there to take a look.
As for the north of the city, it was the territory of the nobles, and there was no such mixed place.
