Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

After half a month, Richard and Connie arrived at the first stop after they left Lagota, Ortisia.

As a coastal city, Ortisia is undoubtedly prosperous, have endured the hardships of a long journey. Although the two standing outside the city have not yet entered the town, they are constantly coming from the city gates. You can see this by looking at the pedestrians and caravans.

The city is also not allowed to ride horses. This seems to be a consensus on the entire Calad continent. Therefore, Richard consciously stopped moving forward when he approached the city gate, rolled over and dismounted, and was led by Connie. Two war horses entered the city.

Passing through the gate opening which is not too spacious, Richard and the two entered the town of Ortisia together with the flow of people. As soon as they walked out of the doorway, they could see countless brick and stone structures. Buildings, most of the exterior walls of these buildings are painted with red and white paint, which looks a bit pleasing to the eye.

The small square near the city gate is the activity area of ​​horse dealers. They tie the horses they want to sell in some simple stables. A covered in dirt guy is holding a dirty cloth for The horse wipes its body.

Richard glanced at them, thinking that if he came to the port and asked if the horses could go with the boat together, if not, the two horses he brought could only be sold to These horse dealers are out.

More than half an hour later, the port of Ortisia.

The city of Ortyzia was established on the north bank of the Karad Inner Sea. The three forces of the Western Empire, the Southern Empire and the Alessai Khanate are distributed along the coast of the Inner Sea. There are countless merchants on the calm sea. The ship fleet travels through it, sending goods from the empire to the “bronze desert” ruled by the barren Aserai Khanate in exchange for generous rewards and local specialties. The huge profits brought about by sea trade have also aroused the coveting of many pirates. Those pirates from Nord went down the coast and looted wantonly in the inner sea of ​​Karad. There were also greedy empires who joined the pirates, risking their heads and looting. merchant ship.

These are things that were not shown in the game. Richard did not dare to relax his vigilance because he hadn’t seen the game. However, after talking with a few sailors in the port, Richard learned that in the past few years The navies of the countries in the inland sea have joined forces on several occasions to deal with the rampant pirates, attacking a group of pirate forces, and making them a lot of low-key. Now the Kalad Inner Sea is much more peaceful than it was a few years ago.

Richard is not afraid of encountering enemies, but he is only worried about encountering the legendary fierce pirates in the torrential sea. If he can’t beat them on land, he can still escape on horseback, but if on the sea When encountering an enemy, except for being captured, they can only jump into the sea to feed the fish.

By the way, if you can’t beat it, you can join. If it is not, Richard will show them his bravery, and then join them along the way.

……

After inquiring about the port Chief-In-Charge, he introduced to Richard an old captain who was going to ship the goods produced in the Western Empire to the Alessai Khanate for sale This old captain was said to have been a captain of the Kalad Imperial Navy, but after the empire was split, he chose to retire like most marine army soldiers. After retiring, he relied on the accumulated assets to buy A merchant ship, used to run a business to make money.

“My name is Biller. Everyone calls me Biller from Geonnika or Uncle Bill. You can call me Uncle Bill just like them.”

In front of a merchant ship in the harbor, Richard looked at the bald old man with dark skin in front of him and listened to him being introduced.

“I’m Richard, Richard from Caliok, a Valandian.” Richard stretched out his hand to him, self-introduced.

“Valandian?” Karel gave Richard a surprised look, and reached out to hold Richard’s hand. After a second or two, he let go. He said: “Wa Landians rarely come here alone. They usually form caravans and hire ships to transport their goods.”

“Unfortunately, we don’t have that many goods that require special hire ships. We only need two boat positions.” Richard shrugged, replied.

“Ha, there are two boat spaces. I have a lot of free space on my boat. You only need to give me five dinars per person. Oh, of course, I only cover it. You need to pay for the food. Money.”

“Then it’s settled, this is our ticket money.” Richard said, taking out ten dinars from his pocket, counting them, and handing them to the other party. “Ship When will we leave?” he asked again.

“In two days, if you are here for the first time in Ortisia, then you can spend a few more days in the city.” Karel accepted the dinar and dumped it. You know “The girls in the Scarlet Kiss in the city are very tasty, I think you will like it there.”

Richard is not interested in his voice at all, but Kang behind him But Ni looked very much looking forward to it. Karel captured the reaction of the two of them, curl one’s lip could not help but said: “I bet you have never touched a woman, I think your servant is more excited than you. “

“Then you bet right, I really didn’t touch it.” Richard didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He glanced at Connie behind him, who somewhat guilty bowed his head to avoid Opening his eyes, Richard shrugged helplessly, teasing: “Go to Connie, remember that the merchant ship will ship two days later, don’t die on the belly of those women.”

“Understand, Sir…Boss!” Connie replied excitedly. He still wanted to call Richard Sir Sir according to the habit of the main world, but after speaking, he realized that this is not the main world, so he changed his words quickly, and then turned and left. Here.

What he didn’t know was that Carrell accurately captured the word he blurted out. He was looking at Connie who was leaving and Richard standing in front of him with an inquisitive look. See Richard’s reply. He turned his head away and looked at it again, his face as usual.

“So, Richard, are you interested in having a drink with my old bastard? I have heard many people say that the Kingdom of Vallandia is a good place.” He asked.

Richard was startled by his sudden invitation, but he quickly reacted. He nodded, said: “As you wish, Captain Carrell.”

After that, he left the port with Karel and walked towards the tavern outside the port.

Walking on the way to the tavern, Carrell looked at Richard beside him quietly from the side of the light, but in his heart he couldn’t stop thinking about the matter just now. He could guess that it was called Kang. Ni’s youngster originally wanted to call Richard Ferguson, but after the words were spoken, he immediately changed to the boss.

Lord Sir…Boss…It seems that Richard’s identity may not be simple… So Carrell thought.
