Chapter 47 Serdica's Adventurer's House

More than 2000 years ago, the Serdi tribe of the Thracians built a city called Serdika.

More than 2000 years later, Serdica still stands on the land, developing from a settlement of a small tribe to a medium-sized city.

The resident population of Serdica is about [-], and if the floating population is included, there may be [-] to [-].

Fortunately, the civilization of Yitrul has not been broken down, and he knows how to build sewers. Serdika not only has sewers, but also has public toilets, so that this city is not as stinky as other cities, and the cleanliness is also relatively low. That's all.

The residents of Serdika are mainly Thracians, and they mainly believe in the 'god of the sky'.

This god is also a primitive god. Like the sun god and the 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 Serdica people is naturally relatively free and undisciplined, and the slow pace has penetrated into every aspect of Serdica.

Because of this, Serdica is a city that is very suitable for adventurers and mercenaries to settle down after retiring.

Not long after arriving in Serdika, Zhong Ye found the Adventurer's House in this city - this building is the largest building in the entire city except the Lord's Mansion.

The Sky God has no temples and churches, and his believers believe that churches and temples are not conducive to their communication with the gods, so they have always only built altars, not rare temples.

Historically, the city has rarely encountered war, and naturally there is no castle.

For Xilu, this is a very strange city.

Zhong Ye led the pack horse and approached the Adventurer's House. The building in front of him had many similarities with the ancient Roman buildings. Before he got close, there was a sense of majesty and grandeur.

The doors of the Adventurer's House are always open, and no matter day or night, there will be someone sitting behind the door ready to receive.

Seeing Zhong Ye approaching with his horse, a young man came up to meet him, "Excuse me, are you an adventurer?"

Zhong Ye nodded, and asked back, "Is this the Adventurer's House?"

The boy was a little surprised, "Do you know the Adventurer's House?"

"Leasing, exchanging information, undertaking missions, how many services have you carried out here?" Zhong Ye asked with a smile.

The function of the 'Adventurer's Home' was written on the back of that system message, which made Zhong Ye somewhat interested in the 'Adventurer's Home'.

The boy laughed and led Zhong Ye to the stable of the Adventurer's House.

He is a receptionist specially trained to receive adventurers and mercenaries. He knows that many adventurers have bad tempers. It is naturally a joy to meet a well-spoken and polite adventurer.

"Serdika's Adventurer's House has opened all the basic functions, and all adventurers can rent rooms here, whether it is long-term or short-term. After half a year of publicity, people around Serdika have basically accepted it. Given the existence of the Adventurer's House, many times you need to entrust work to come to us to register, because we not only protect the rights of the adventurers, but also protect the rights of the client." When talking about this, the corner of the boy's mouth curled up. It rose a little more.

Adventurers and mercenaries are not good people. This is a blood-sucking industry. Many people are originally local hooligans, and it is not impossible to kill and rob.

So they usually can only huddle in the dark corners of the city, anesthetize themselves with alcohol and violence, thinking that they are different from those timid civilians.

"All adventurer's homes will carry out general education classes for all adventurers to learn basic characters and calculations, and adventurers only need to pay a small fee. If an adventurer has a high credit rating, we will also give them family also provides this service.”

When he came to the stable, the young man fetched two plaques for Zhong Ye from the management office, one was hung on the pack horse, and the other was given to Zhong Ye.

"The Adventurer's Home has a horse storage service. We provide board and lodging for the adventurer's mount free of charge, but bathing and feeding need extra money. If you want to purchase these services, please register at the front desk, because we An income and an expense are accounted for - the Adventurer's House is also taxed."

Following behind the young man, Zhong Ye was thoughtful.

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

'Taxation' means to normalize and standardize this industry, and the existence of the Adventurer's House is to coordinate this industry and make it easier for adventurers and mercenaries to manage.

If they can really do it, then the vicious crimes related to adventurers should be reduced a lot, and many potential criminals will be eliminated.

The young man brought Zhong Ye to the reception hall of the Adventurer's House. Before he got close, Zhong Ye heard the noisy movement inside.

After the door was pushed open, cursing, shouting and unbridled laughter poured into the ears, and the strange smell of sweat and wine also entered the nostrils.

The hall was noisy, with adventurers and mercenaries crowded at the front desk, spitting at the receptionist angrily, some people were sitting together arm wrestling and drinking competitions, some people were already drunk and making trouble, and some people were sitting in the corner, watching with cold eyes.

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

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

Zhong Ye thought about it, and felt that he might be with the Sun God and the others, and he had accepted their love before. If they planned to build the Adventurer's House, he should also contribute. , to help protect the interests of the Adventurer's House.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ye successfully persuaded himself, smiled slightly, took off the backpack and the big sword, and put them beside the young man, "Take a look for me."

Under the puzzled gaze of the young man, Zhong Ye stepped forward, stretched his joints, grabbed a troublemaker, and knocked him to the ground with a punch.

"Oh!!!"

The spectators booed immediately and clapped their hands one after another.

"Wait……"

Before the young man could say anything, he was horrified to see Zhong Ye throw a wine table with one hand and smash it at those who made a fuss.

Many booers reacted quickly and avoided them in time, but there were still two who had just drank, their heads were dizzy, and they were directly knocked unconscious by the wine table.

Zhong Ye laughed, very happily.

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

Upon hearing this, many people became angry.

Immediately, someone picked up the chair and rushed up, and threw down on the warrior, but he was punched in the chest by him and flew backwards.

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

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

At this time, the adventurers finally realized that this arrogant guy who didn't know where he came from seemed to really want to beat them all by himself.

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

Someone picked up a table and chair and threw it at it, but Zhong Ye easily took it and put it aside.

The adventurers rushed forward, and Zhong Ye used exquisite steps to avoid the attack while swinging his fists and feet.

Straight punches, uppercuts, elbow thrusts, knee lifts;
Pushing hands, kicking ankles, throwing shoulders, and hitting with strength.

The more Zhong Ye played, the happier he was. The adventurers kept falling and getting up, and they were all dazzled by anger. Only a few of them quietly crawled away from the door after realizing that there was no way to win.

More and more people stood outside the door to watch the excitement, until all the adventurers fell down and stopped getting up, the outside of the Adventurer's House was already crowded with citizens watching the excitement.

Panting heavily, Zhong Ye pointed at the fallen adventurers, and said with a sneer: "During the time I lived here, no one is allowed to make trouble, and I will beat anyone who makes trouble until I dare not do it again." Until there is trouble!"

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

Dozens of adventurers fell to the ground and screamed, but no one dared to stand up.

After cleaning up dozens of people, Zhong Ye didn't seem to be injured at all, let alone a member of the Adventurer's House, even the citizens watching the excitement found it incredible.

That night, the news that 'a powerful adventurer came to Serdika' spread throughout the city.
