082 The Distressed Knights of Faer?n
This world is a strange world of mixed races. What is different from the earth is that humans dominate the land on the continent, but humans rely on their strong development momentum to occupy the dominance of the continent with an overwhelming population.
In addition to humans, powerful races on the Star Continent, dwarfs, gnomes, elves, halflings, orcs, etc., which often appear in fantasy novels on the Earth, also have a large population on the Star Continent. However, other races with different living habits live in their own territory in the form of tribes, and do not establish countries and build cities and clusters like humans. Therefore, there are a large number of other races on the territory of any human country, and this part of the population is not counted among the human population.
This is just the main race. If we count the large number of sub-ethnic races and some races that do not often come into contact with people, it will be even more unclear. For example, half-elves and half-orcs have a large number of ethnic groups that are difficult to divide in detail.
In addition, the number of complex subcivilized races is also quite large. Unfortunately, this type of life is not recognized by the main races on the mainland, such as goblins.
Therefore, the complex interweaving of intelligent creatures and races has led to the complexity of faith in this world, and the number of gods is comparable to that of the earth.
Lin Jia quickly walked through the central square of the Ice Floating Castle and arrived at the Woking Temple on the side of the central square of the Ice Floating Castle. As a temple where he worked part-time in the bank, the Woking Temple is the only god residence allowed to be built near the square. However, the mage tower of the two brothers of Kaka is too remote. After all, a mage who needs to be quiet to study arcane does not like to build his own mage tower in the downtown area.
After getting off the car, Lin Jia took out a silver coin from the small vault and gave it to the coachman: "Wait for me here! If I don't come out within an hour, you can leave! If I saw you still here when I came out, then this silver coin belongs to you, and I will give you another silver coin!"
The middle-aged coachman with a straw hat happily took off his hat and humbly said, "Don't worry! Even if the rocky hail is falling from the sky, don't even think of driving me away from here! Your generosity is comparable to that of the goddess of gold!" The fare for a carriage is only 1 copper coin. Recently, the fat man, who is a little rich and generous, doesn't want to wait until he goes far to find a carriage, so he simply paid a little more for the coachman to wait.
The temple of Goddess Wojin is very majestic, and compared with other temples, the traffic here is obviously too large. I feel like I have walked into the bank. Lin Jia, who has suddenly gone to find Grant. Tigongi Priest, looked around, and a large number of adventurers and mercenaries who came here to deposit and withdraw coins were lined up, depositing or withdrawing their own money in front of nearly a hundred counters. One by one, the intern priests in Wojin were busy serving the "believers".
Lin Jia looked dark, this place is a temple, this place is a bank!
On the throne in the center of the Wojin Temple, there is a huge stone statue of the Wojin Goddess. No matter how Lin Jia looks at it, he thinks that the Wojin Goddess is a female bank president...
“Is there anything that can serve you?”
Just as he was looking around, a voice came from behind Lin Jia. When he looked back, he saw a silver coin priest who was greeting him with a friendly smile. He was wearing a silver-gray priest robe and a gold-gold badge engraved with the head of the Wojin goddess on his chest.
Looking at the platinum divine emblem on Lin Jia’s chest, the silver coin priest raised the volume in surprise: “You are the branding wizard from the East, His Highness Kiyahga? The priest of the Platinum divine emblem of Grant has been waiting for your arrival for a long time!”
"Uh...yes! I've been a little busy in the past few days, so I haven't come here!" Lin Jia asked politely: "Is Priest Grant there?"
"What a pity. Priest Grant had already returned to the Star Continent on a sea boat yesterday. He needed to go back to the Golden Mountains. However, when he left, he told us that if you come, there is something to hand over to you! Please come with me!"
The silver coin priest respectfully led the way and brought Lin Jia to the office of the temple priest who was similar to the position of the bank president. The Woking Temple in the Floating Ice Castle, except for the Grant Platinum God Emblem Priest, had the highest authority.
"You are finally here!" The temple priest was a very old man. His priest robe was golden, but probably not made of gold wire. Seeing Lin Jia's arrival, he hurriedly stood up from the huge oak desk filled with piles of thin animal skin books and greeted him.
After a few greetings with him, the temple priest who was quite efficient brought a one-foot-long wooden box and handed it to Lin Jia: "This is what the Priest Grant specifically reminded us when he left, and you must hand it over to you after you arrive. It contains a Wojin Divine Book and a letter left by Priest Grant to you."
After taking the exquisitely crafted wooden box, Lin Jia opened it and looked at it. There was a thick so-called "Wujin Divine Code" of the gods and a very luxurious paper letter.
It was not easy to open the letter in front of the silver coin priest. Lin Jia picked up the box and stuffed it into her backpack. After expressing her gratitude to the temple priest, she left here.
The carriage driver was still waiting outside the temple honestly and rejected some adventurers who were trying to ride the carriage. Lin Jia walked over and got into the carriage with satisfaction: "Man! Take me to the Adventurer Guild!"
The Adventurer Guild is not far from the Woking Temple. As an institution that controls the teleportation array on the central square, the Adventurer Guild and the Mercenary Guild are specially set up on both sides of the main road of the central square, which stands relatively towering.
Ice Floating Castle was originally an adventure city with a large number of adventurers and mercenaries being the main residents here, so the area of these two buildings covers a considerable large area to meet the needs of a huge number of adventurers and mercenaries.
Recently, due to consecutive natural disasters, adventurers and mercenaries who went out returned to the Ice Floating Castle, and adventurers and mercenaries who came to the Star Continent to prepare to support the disaster of the Crazy Beast have basically arrived, so the population of the Ice Floating Castle has reached its highest point during this period.
Still letting the coachman wait outside, Lin Jia walked into the huge Adventurer Guild and walked around, looking around to find companions of "Ale and Barbecue", while also visiting the differences between the Adventurer Guild here and the fantasy novels written on Earth.
In fact, the nature of the Adventurer Guild and the Mercenary Guild is very similar, but the Adventurer Guild only accepts adventure tasks, while the Mercenary Guild will accept tasks such as war tasks and bodyguard escorts. Its position is also neutral. Lin Jia stood in the rushing Adventurer Guild, feeling that this huge hall was like a stock trading center, with a large number of staff running around in a hurry. The Adventurers shouted and greeted their companions, looking for the information and information they needed on the board.
It seems a bit difficult to find the old dwarf and the elf Xiao Zhengtai among so many people. Since the Ice Floating Castle closed the city gate and waited for the arrival of the Crazy Beast Disaster, the adventure missions of the past have been suspended, and more adventurers gathered in front of huge boards, reading the news and announcements issued by the Ice Floating Castle Council.
Lin Jia also looked at it for a while after standing in the crowd. He was dazzled by the dense words on the huge pronunciation board. Staff members kept taking ladders to wipe off the contents on it and replaced it with new contents. Generally speaking, the last batch of supplies will be sent tomorrow, and there will be no supply fleets throughout the winter, because sailing on the frozen Arctic Sea is too dangerous. If there are adventurers who want to return to the Star Continent, they need to go to the port to register for a boat within three days.
Lin Jia remembered that the waiter of the Mage Tower said that the old dwarves were going to see the news about the supply fleet. Are they planning to return to the Star Continent?
"His Highness Kiyahga? What are you doing here?"
A familiar voice came from behind Lin Jia. When he looked back, it was Captain Bastogne of the Knights of the Feren. The handsome knight was wearing a casual outfit, carrying his sword around his waist, and holding a stack of animal skin documents in his hand.
"Ah! Knight, hello! Long time no see!" Lin Jia glanced at the animal skin file in his hand curiously: "I'm here to find my adventurer companion, what are you doing here?"
Bastogne pinched the documents in his hand in a little embarrassedly and said embarrassedly: "You know, there are no supplies sent to us by the Feren Empire in this batch of supplies. If we don't find a way to raise some supplies, we will probably have a lot of difficulties in this year's crazy beast disaster..."
He glanced at the knights sympathetically. The blockade of the Karatu Empire made them isolated in the ice floe castle. Without the support of the empire, their lives were not easy. Lin Jia kindly said: "Is there anything I can help?"
"Thank you for your kindness, we can solve it ourselves." Bastogne smiled confidently: "If you have time, you can visit our Knights of Ferren as a guest. Our leader hopes to meet you, a magical double-professional branding mage. Uh, by the way! If you are looking for your companions, you can post a small mission at the reception counter of the Adventurers Guild. You only need to pay a silver coin to let them call you and find your companions who are separated in the Adventurers Guild."
Lin Jiahan, why is this similar to the supermarket radio to find children, thought for a while and said, "No, I think my companions should have left here. They came out very early. Maybe they have returned to the Mage Tower now. I should be able to see them later. In addition, I will go to your base to see. I have never seen what the Knights' station is like."
"Looking forward to your visit, then I will say goodbye first!" Bastogne said apologetically: "There are still many affairs waiting for me to deal with."
"You're busy!" Lin Jia nodded quickly, and the knight said goodbye to him and left.
After looking around, Lin Jia left because he felt bored. No one was with him and he didn't know what to do.
"Where are you going now?" the coachman drove the pony and asked diligently. The two silver coins given to him by the Orientals were enough for him to finish work early today.
"Take me to the Magister Guild, I'm going to buy a magic book." Lin Jia, who was really bored, remembered that he hadn't studied the newly learned arcane for a long time, and he, a dual-professional branded mage, still does not have a magic book or magic stick representing the identity of a magister.
