Soul Echo

Over 2,000 years ago, the Thracian tribe of Serdi built a city called Serdica.

More than two thousand years later, Serdica is still standing on the earth, developing from a settlement of small tribes to a medium-sized city.

The resident population of Serdica is about 5,000, and if you count the floating population, there may be 7,000 to 8,000.

Fortunately, the civilization of Etrull has not been broken, and it knows how to build sewers. Serdica not only has sewers, but even public toilets, so that the city does not smell as bad as other cities. In the sky, the cleanliness is nothing more than that.

The inhabitants of Serdica are mainly Thracians and their main belief is 'the god of the sky'.

This Spiritual God is also a primordial god. Like Sun God and Moon God, he doesn't pay much attention to mortal affairs. From ancient times to the present, there are only a few Oracles.

As His followers, the rhythm of life of the Serdicians is naturally relatively free and loose, and the slow rhythm has penetrated into all aspects of Serdica.

Because of this, Serdica is a great city for adventurers and mercenaries to settle in after they've retired.

Not long after arriving in Serdica, Zhong Ye found the city's adventurer's house - this building is the largest building in the whole city except the lord's palace.

The god of the sky does not have a temple or a church. His followers believe that the church and the temple are not conducive to their communication with Spiritual God. Therefore, they only build altars and do not care about temples.

Historically, the city rarely suffered wars, and naturally there was no castle.

For Xilu, this is a very strange city.

Zhong Ye approached the adventurer's house with a pack horse. The building in front of him looks a lot similar to the ancient Roman building. Before getting close, there is a magnificent and atmospheric flavor assaults the senses.

The doors of the adventurer's home are always open, and there will be people sitting behind the door, day and night, ready to welcome you.

Seeing Zhong Ye leading the horse, a young man greeted him, "Excuse me, are you an adventurer?"

Zhong Ye nominated and asked, "This is an adventurer. Home?"

The teenager was a little surprised, "Do you know the Adventurer Home?"

"Renting, exchanging information, undertaking tasks, I don't know how many services you have now carried out here ?" Zhong Ye asked with a smile.

The function of the 'adventurer's house' was written on the back of the system message, which made Zhong Ye have some interest in the 'adventurer's house'.

The teenager laughed and led Zhong Ye to the stable of the adventurer's house.

He is a receptionist specially trained to receive adventurers and mercenaries. Knowing that many adventurers are not very good-natured, it is naturally a joy to meet a good-talking and polite adventurer.

"The adventurer home of Serdica has opened all basic functions, and all adventurers can rent a room here, whether it is long-term or short-term. After half a year of publicity, around Serdica The people who have basically accepted the existence of the Adventurer's House, and many times they need to entrust work to come to us to register, because we not only protect the power of the adventurer, but also protect the power of the client." Speaking of this, the corner of the boy's mouth twitched. The arc has risen slightly.

Adventurers and mercenaries are not good people. This is an industry that licks blood, and many people were originally gangsters, and it's not impossible to kill people.

So they usually huddle in dark corners of the city, numbing themselves with alcohol and violence, thinking they are different from those cowardly commoners.

“All adventurer houses will conduct general education classes for all adventurers to learn basic words and calculations, and adventurers only need to pay a small fee. If an adventurer has a high reputation, we will also They will also provide this service to their families.”

When they came to the stable, the teenager took two signs for Zhong Ye from the management office, one hung on the workhorse and the other handed over to Zhong Ye .

"The Adventurer's House has a horse storage service. We provide free room and board for the adventurer's mounts, but you need to pay extra for bathing and feeding. If you want to purchase these services, please go to the front desk Register, because every income and expense we have has to be accounted for - the adventurer's house is also taxed."

Following behind the teenager, Zhong Ye looked thoughtful.

It looks like the church and nations have reached an agreement to make a big move.

'Taxing' means to normalize and standardize the industry, and the significance of the adventurer's home is to coordinate the industry and make it easier for adventurers and mercenaries to manage.

If they do, then there should be a lot less vicious crime associated with adventurers and a lot of potential criminals eliminated.

The teenager brought Zhong Ye to the reception hall of the adventurer's house. Before he got close, Zhong Ye could already hear the noise inside.

After pushing the door open, scolding, shouting and impudent laughter poured into the ears, and the strange smell of sweat and alcohol mixed into the nostrils.

The lobby is noisy, there are adventurers and mercenaries crowded at the front desk, spit at the receptionist, some people are sitting together to wrestle their arms and drinking games, some people are already drunk and are making trouble, and some people are sitting In the corner, watching from the sidelines.

Seeing this scene, the corners of the boy's raised eyebrows and mouth drooped down again.

It is probably impossible to reverse their habits all at once, and this inertia may destroy the newly built adventurer home.

Zhong Ye thought about it and thought that he might be in the same group as Sun God, and he had also accepted their love before. If they planned to build an adventurer home, he would You should also do your part to help safeguard the interests of the Adventurer House.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ye successfully persuaded himself, smiled slightly, took off the backpack and the big sword, and put them next to the boy, "Help me take a look."

The boy wondered While watching, Zhong Ye stepped forward, moved his joints, grabbed a troublemaker, and knocked him to the ground with a punch.

"Oh!!!"

The people watching the fun immediately booed and clapped their hands.

"Wait..."

Before the young man could say anything, he saw in horror that Zhong Ye threw a wine table with one hand and smashed it at those who were booing.

Some of the cockerers reacted quickly and avoided them in time, but there were still two who had just drank and were dizzy and were knocked unconscious by the wine table.

Zhong Ye laughed, smiling happily.

He hooked his hands to everyone, "Come on, you bastards! I can beat you all!"

When they heard this, many people got angry. .

Immediately someone picked up a chair and rushed up, slamming down on the warrior, but he was punched in the chest and flew out.

Zhong Ye caught the chair that fell from the air, and when the others didn't walk towards him, he walked towards them.

The wooden chair was swung, knocking everyone who appeared in front of him to the ground one by one.

At this time, the adventurers finally found out that this arrogant guy with no background seemed to really want to beat them all alone.

Thinking like this, they couldn't sit still, stood up and exchanged glances, roaring and rushing over.

Someone picked up the table and chair and smashed it, but Zhong Ye took it down easily and put it aside.

Adventurers swarmed up, and Zhong Ye used delicate steps, dodging attacks while waving fists and feet.

Straight punches, uppercuts, elbows, knees;

Pushing hands, kicking ankles, throwing over shoulders, and using force.

Zhong Ye got more and more fun. The adventurers kept falling and getting up. They were all dizzy with anger. Only a few people quietly crawled away from the door after realizing that they couldn't win.

There were more and more people standing outside the door to watch the fun, until all the adventurers fell down and stopped getting up.

Zhong Ye gasped and pointed at the fallen adventurers, sneered: "During the time I live here, no one is allowed to make trouble, and I will beat him up if he makes trouble, Until I don't dare to make trouble again!"

Walking back to the stunned teenager, Zhong Ye laughed at him, picked up his luggage, and went to the front desk to check in.

Dozens of adventurers fell to the ground, screaming in pain, but no one dared to stand up.

After tidying up dozens of people, Zhong Ye didn't seem to be injured at all, not to mention a member of the adventurer's house, even the citizens who were watching the lively thought it was incredible.

That night, news of 'a powerful adventurer coming to Serdica' spread throughout the city.
