Chapter 2 The Port

Chapter 2 The Port
The town of Ruger is located in the northernmost part of the continent, where the cold wind, frozen sea and crows are the totems.

Here, most of the ground is covered with ice and snow, and only a small part of the brown frozen soil is exposed. The tenacious people built their own towns on these exposed frozen soils to fight against cold, hunger, and death. The towns are tall. The fence isolates the ice and snow and protects the people here to carry out their daily activities.

Although it is only a border town in Nord, Ruger Town almost supports the normal operation of the entire northern border region.Perhaps because of this, Ruger Town was built as a northern hub. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, taverns, blacksmith shops, grocery stores, stables, markets, and even the arena. It is an important trade center in the north. The hub, Nord's Ninth Legion is stationed here all the year round to guard here and the north of Nord.

As for the reason why Nord's Ninth Legion is located here, it is probably due to Nord's bad diplomatic relations. Simply put, this country is almost hostile to all neighboring countries.

To be honest, Nord does not play a glorious role on this continent. For other countries, Nord is just a despicable outsider, invader, plunderer and robber, but only Nord knows that all this is just for basic survival
When they escaped a war, a new war came after them.

The cause of the all-out war stemmed from Nord's identity as an outsider, and in fact the Nords did come from the other side of the sea. Nord never denied this. For some reason, they paid a huge price to cross the ocean. Coming here, they landed wearily on the southern shore of the Winter Sea.

At that time, the migrants had been exhausted and had no houses, food, or winter clothes of their own. They were eager for land for the group to cultivate and live, so they sent envoys to the kingdoms on the mainland, asking the kings to accept them and give them use. However, no country is willing to accept these 'outlanders' who are worthless and have to invest a lot of gold coins, and what's more, they ask these tired outsiders to get out of 'their land'.

For a while, resentment, anger, and hatred began to take root and sprout in the hearts of the Nords.

After a period of brewing, the war began!Although they were exhausted, these Nord soldiers still broke out their powerful combat power. They quickly seized the vast frozen land in the north of the mainland, and marched towards the plain in the middle of the mainland. The people of Nord were crushed by the brave warriors of Nord.However, the Kingdom of Swadia, living under the illusion of prosperity and peace, had no room to fight back, and was beaten all the way into the hinterland of Swadia—Su Nuo.

Until Nord's army came to the city of Suno and was about to attack the city, the Nords finally encountered the most terrifying enemy in their lives-the Royal Knights of Swadia!

These elite knights are all composed of martial arts nobles from Swadia. People wear plate armor and horse armor, one hand holds a giant lance and the other hand holds a knight shield. A moving fortress of war.

It is said that ordinary horses cannot bear the combined weight of a fully armed knight and a horse armor made of steel, but these knights' horses are different. Not only can they fully bear the weight of both, but they can also charge at short distances.

Their charge is like a torrent of steel, smashing through all the lines of defense that dare to block in front of them. For them, breaking through all the lines of defense is as easy and freehand as a heated table knife easily cuts through butter. No one can stop them !certainly!The Nords couldn't do it either. They suffered huge losses in this battle and were forced to retreat across the board. The Royal Knights attacked and killed along the road. Countless Nords died, but more people survived and retreated. Above the snow line, and established a solid line of defense in this land where war horses cannot set foot.
Nord is defeated!But it occupies the vast tundra in the north and still wins the war!To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the terrifying combat power of the Swadia knights on the plain, they could even occupy the plains in the middle of the continent, but it is precisely because of the terrain that the Swadia knights did not set foot on the snowfield , and the war ended hastily with the snow line as the boundary between the two countries.

After the war, Nord's decline began to show. Due to the long journey and the limited supplies and the harsh climate and environment in the northern region, which was not suitable for farming, most of the poor people could only become fishermen, hunters, and mercenaries. Or ~pirates, dried fish, spirits, and dry bread are all they live.

The Nords quickly adapted to this harsh environment with strong adaptability and tenacious vitality. The cold deprived them of the soil they depended on for cultivation, but endowed them with a strong physique that is different from ordinary people. It is extremely famous on the mainland, although it doesn't sound very good, almost every Nord people stubbornly believe that the land that the Van Nords step on belongs to the territory of Nords.

In the bones of these guys, there is a ruthlessness that only they can understand, but at the same time, they also hate all the guys who dare to stretch out their index fingers to themselves. Of course, for this kind of guys, their methods are extremely rough and simple——” Flip them ".

In the Nord army, their commanders are often more fierce and powerful guys than these soldiers. They are lazy, aggressive, and alcoholic, but you can't deny their strong combat power, because Nord still remains strong under their defense. Standing tall in the north of the mainland is a clear proof.

Maybe you will say: "Oh! A strong army, the most important thing is discipline!" But I have to regret to tell you that they are the most powerful infantry on the mainland, bar none!Even without a commander, they are sure to hit a battle damage that will surprise you.Because their strength comes from the absolute combat power of each individual, rather than tactics and strategies. As their commander, what you have to do is to rush up with them to chop off more heads, it's as simple as that.

Beichuan walked alone on the streets of Luge Town, the cold wind blowing his shabby clothes.Perhaps because of living in this kind of place all year round, even though he was not strong, he just felt a little cool.

This is a small port town, and most of the buildings here are old antiques with pure wood and stone structures.

The climate here is cold and there are still snowflakes in the sky, and the adjacent sea is covered with a thick layer of ice, making it almost impossible for ordinary ships to pass.

Beichuan felt as if he had come to the wrong place. A few days ago, he was a struggling student. His fate should have been to study, work, retire like other ordinary people, and then grow old and eventually turn into a cup of loess. ~
But right now he is here, in a strange world, with a slightly crooked technology tree.

I'm not even myself anymore
Just now, he learned that the identity of "this life" is simply a blank sheet of paper.

He is the son of a fisherman and has been living with his father, but his father never came back after going out to sea on a rainy night.

There is only a dilapidated thatched hut left in the family, three silver coins, a rusty dagger, and the leather clothing on his body, and this is all he owns.

The first thing you need to do now is probably to find a way to make a living, right?Beichuan thought in confusion.

He doesn't know anything about this place, everything is strange, and his mind is blank. The reason why he wants to find a job to eat is because the system issued a task.

main mission:

Survival [[-]]: When you first arrive in this world, you are ragged and hungry, find a job that suits you, and survive here!
The time limit is 2 hours, overdue is considered a task failure.

Mission reward: Broken skill coupon × 1 silver coin × 30
Failure penalty: Obliteration!

Task hint: I think you should go to the tavern first.

obliterate?Although I don't know if it's true or not, but after the three silver coins are spent, it's only a matter of time before I starve to death on the street.After a little thought, Beichuan decided that it would be better to complete the task first. He put the silver coins in his pocket, picked up the dagger, wiped off the rust on his trouser legs, and pinned it to his waist, opened the dilapidated firewood door and walked towards the tavern.

The tavern in Ruger Town is located near the center of the town, and the flow of people is second to none in the town. It is a golden location where begging can make a fortune.

Standing at the door, Bei Chuan guessed maliciously that the owner of this tavern must have an extremely developed economic mind, at least as big as a watermelon!

The tavern is a classic European wooden and stone structure building in the Middle Ages. The only difference is that at the bottom of it is a layer of stone foundation, on which the whole is connected by logs. The main body of the building has two floors, which is simple. But without losing the class, there is a wooden sign with a picture of a wine glass hanging on the door, and three strange words of horseshoe, shatter, and thunder are marked on the wine glass in the common script of Calradia in cursive script.

When Beichuan entered the tavern, he was greeted by a nauseating and pungent smell of alcohol. Beichuan frowned slightly and walked past the noisy people in the tavern and walked towards the bar without saying a word.Maybe it was because the original owner of this body had such poor communication skills that people in the tavern looked at him like they were strangers. But this is also a good thing. No one knows him, which means - he The chances of being found to be counterfeit are greatly reduced.

Sitting on the bar counter of the bar was a young girl with a flaxen shawl and curly hair, wearing a sleeveless leather armor with wheat-colored arms exposed to the air, she looked quite heroic. This girl saw Beichuan A beautiful smile appeared near the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, newbie? Come and have a drink, the first drink is free!"

Beichuan had never dealt with such a situation before or now, and the woman's greeting made him extremely embarrassed.

"Then have a drink!"

The girl seemed to notice Kitagawa's embarrassment and the corner of her mouth curved in a graceful arc. She turned back to the boy in front of the wine cabinet and ordered: "Blake, give this guy a glass of Veruga fruit wine!" The boy nodded to the girl, He turned back and started playing with his wine bottle.

"I think the fruit wine from Veruga——you'll like it. Hmm! Let me guess, are you in trouble?" The girl carelessly put her calf on the bar and squirted a pair of rich wine into Beichuan gas.

"How do you know?" Beichuan looked at the strange girl in front of him in shock and vigilance.

The girl didn't seem to see Bei Chuan's surprised gaze, lazily took the wine glass from her second hand and put it in front of Bei Chuan and said:

"No, I don't know. It's just that most people who come here come to seek help. Don't you?"

Bei Chuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, I have encountered something that needs to be resolved, can you help me?"

"Oh! Boy, this is not acceptable. Let me talk about your requirements first, and then we will talk about the price slowly." The girl smiled playfully.

"Is there still a charge?" Bei Chuan asked suspiciously.

The girl looked at Beichuan in surprise, as if she was looking at a country bumpkin.

"Of course! Intelligence is always the most in-demand commodity!"

"Okay! You convinced me, but I declare in advance that I don't have much money here." Beichuan worried about the mission and could only accept the girl's statement, and at the same time implicitly expressed the fact that he didn't have much money.

"It's okay, I can pay on credit here."

——————————————————————————————————

Perhaps because of the small size of the town, the wharf in Ruger Town is much smaller than other major ports.

At this time, there were only a few ancient sailing ships with masts and sails docked on the shore. Beichuan had only seen this kind of scene in movies.

The structures of these boats are similar to most of the three-masted sailing ships in the movie, but they have undergone the necessary modifications so that they can travel on the frozen sea.On the ship, the sailors silently did the work at hand, busy, quiet and orderly.There were only a few shouts from time to time, but it was the overseers on the dock who were scolding the hard workers. The strong men carrying the goods silently stacked the bags of goods on the shore, and then returned to move the next batch, coming and going.
Beichuan approached a three-masted sailing ship. Through the girl in the tavern, he learned that coolies are needed all year round, and the supervisor here is a greedy fat man. This is the fastest place he can find a job!

He was about to ask the person in charge here, but suddenly he heard a voice behind him.

"Hey! Brat, this is not the place for you."

Beichuan turned around and looked at the visitor, and found that he was a middle-aged fat man with a mustache and a round body. Looking at the gorgeous attire of different workers, the fat man suddenly had an idea: "I heard that we are recruiting hard labor here, and I just need a job.”

That middle-aged fat man squinted his small eyes at Beichuan's dry body, and shook his head in disdain

"Oh!? How much strength can you have with your thin body like a bamboo pole? Let's go!"

Beichuan was not annoyed when he heard the fat man talking. He took out a silver coin and stuffed it into the fat man's hand: "Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll leave. How about it?"

The fat man looked at the silver coin in his hand, his eyes lit up, he looked up at Beichuan again, his small eyes turned back and said, "Hey! Boy, do you think you can buy me with just a silver coin? An upright dock supervisor? "

"Okay, Mr. Supervisor, I still have two silver coins here. This is my last property." Bei Chuan cursed secretly, then took out two silver coins and stuffed them into the fat man's hand.

The fat man first rubbed his face against the silver coin, then blew on the silver coin and listened to the sound, then he nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good! Young man, you have successfully convinced the upright Director Phildo, and then I will take you to join the ranks of glorious hard workers."

Beichuan followed the fat man into the sailboat along the makeshift ship plank, and took a sneak peek at the task bar, which was still filled with gray unfinished words.

It seems that this system is not so easy to fool, can't the task be completed just like this, does it have to be recognized by someone here to complete the task?He scratched his head and looked at the bags full of dried fish, and couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Judging by the size, it is estimated to be about two hundred kilograms, what should I do if my small body is really a bit reluctant?
"Hey! Isn't this a fat dog? Why did you bring someone here? Don't you know the rules?" came a frivolous voice.

The middle-aged fat man's face froze when he heard the word "fat dog", but he returned to normal in an instant, and said neither salty nor weak:

"Hehe! Keen, you're taking a bit of a leniency, right? This kid is here to work as a coolie, and I'm in charge of the personnel appointment."

The one-eyed man glanced at Bei Chuan and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Just this little guy? He can carry goods? Fat dog, you really are getting better and better, haha."

The conversation between these two people obviously attracted the attention of other people on the ship, who seemed to come closer to join in the fun. Compared to the boring work, this kind of explosive conversation is a good change.

The fat man ignored the one-eyed man's provocation, but narrowed his eyes and winked at a big and round supervisor next to him.The supervisor understood, and directly unloaded a bag that was at least half lighter than the others on the cargo ship, threw it on the ground, pointed at Beichuan and said, "Hey! You, go and move this bag of dried fish to the shore."

Bei Chuan grinned and paid in secret, this fat man is so interesting that the two silver coins were not in vain.Just when he rolled up his sleeves and revealed his thin arms, he was about to make a move.

The one-eyed man said: "Since it is the person sent by 'Master Fat Dog', he must have great ability, or is it because the fat dog is blind and blind and fails to live up to the value of Baron Luge?—Mark, go and get the man on the boat. Get that auxiliary anchor down and let this little brother try his hand!"

Hahaha!Everyone laughed, everyone knew that the one-eyed first mate had always been at odds with Director Ferdo, even though Ferdo had slightly more power than the first mate when they docked, they still habitually stood by the one-eyed side , who made this damn fat man keep deducting everyone's salary?

babble!babble!
A rusty anchor was pulled out of the water by everyone.
Bei Chuan saw that it was the auxiliary anchor on the ship. This guy was cast entirely of pig iron. Although it looked a little rusty due to long-term immersion in water, the solid weight was indeed genuine.The strength of the leading man named Mark was indeed astonishing. The heavy anchor was dragged to the shore with the strength of one person, leaving a deep gully on the ground.

"Hey! Boy! Look at Mark's relaxed look, it's not too heavy, right? Move it and you win!" The one-eyed man pointed to the anchor on the shore as if giving charity.

All the sailors cheered~
"That's right! We are not a charity here, and we don't raise waste."

"Haha, the fat dog is going to be planted this time."

"Let the big supervisor see it, this guy is finished! Let him deduct our wages, hehe!"

Fei Erduo couldn't help but change his face again when he heard what Ke En said. He belongs to outsiders, and his control over the port is not as good as the local snake Ke En here. If his reputation is ruined this time, it will not only be a huge blow to his power The attack may also affect the opinion of the chief executive. Others are not very important, but the chief executive dominates the power of life and death at the dock, so he can directly replace himself, but if he is replaced.
The fat man couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the angry looks in his eyes when his wages were deducted from those people in the past.

"No! This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen!" The fat on Fei Erduo's face trembled, and his eyes gradually became fierce.

Anyone who gets pushed to the bottom becomes hysterical
Fei Erduo hid the ferocity in his eyes deeply, and put on a Southern aristocratic elegance to party with one-eyed Cohen: "Keern, can I say a few words to this boy?"

The one-eyed first mate spread his hands and grinned, "Whatever, but hurry up, my brothers and I can't just hang around here all the time."

Seeing the chief officer nodding, Fei Erduo pulled up the bewildered Bei Chuan and entered the cabin.

"Boy, I have some unfortunate news for you. You have been involved in this farce."

There was a dangerous gleam in the fat man's eyes.

"It's Cohen's trick, the damned one-eyed wolf. Listen boy, if you can't move the anchor, I'll give you the choice now, two choices: [-]. Follow my plan, I swear! If you are lucky enough to survive, I will give you a large sum of money. Second, leave now, and then I will find someone to kill you, and make sure you disappear 'cleanly', choose!"

Beichuan shook his head and took a deep look at the fat man. When the fat man mentioned "lucky" and "survived", he knew that this life was extremely risky, and if he died, he would have no benefit at all.The reason why he came here before was to complete the tasks issued by the system faster, and now it is really impossible to get out, because he has no time to find another job, and it seems that the fat man's influence is not weak Suddenly, he gave a wry smile.

"Do I have a choice? Tell me what you want to do?"

"Oh! Clever boy! But you don't act like a Nord. Well, don't look at me like that, just say it! I got it by accident on another voyage, and once gave it to a The dog fed a little bit, and it killed my heavily armored subordinate..." Fatty Fei Erduo took out a test tube containing a fiery red liquid from his arms and shook it, as if he had thought of something. Half a sentence.

"That's right! That guy is only half a step away from being a knight."

"Then what? What happened to the dog?"

"died."

Bei Chuan smiled wryly, he found that today he laughed more than before.
a moment
"I have a condition"
