Although this country was very close to the Dragon Boat Empire, it was very different from the cities of the Dragon Boat Empire. Poverty was the only characteristic here. The largest town still looked very old. There were mossy stone tiles everywhere, and there were also quite historical houses. The pedestrians were wearing old clothes, as if they had returned to ancient times.
The only new place was the Adventurer's Guild and the headquarters of some Chamber of Commerce.
There were many shops selling clothes here. Reina chose a shop with flowers at the door. At least it was not like other shops, where clothes were placed that made people not want to buy.
"What do you need?"
There was only one person in the shop. It was a middle-aged woman who seemed to be good at sewing. As soon as Reina entered, she stood up and said enthusiastically.
Reina glanced around. There were very few types of clothes here. Most of them were cloth of various colors. Those cloth were rolled up in bundles and placed on the big table.
"I want to buy some clothes. It would be best if they were ready-made."
As she spoke, she could not help but touch the cloth on the table. They were very smooth. Presumably, the clothes made would be very comfortable to wear.
"Oh, okay. How about this for a beautiful girl like you?"
"I don't want a skirt."
Although it was not a skirt, the other party took it back and took out other clothes.
There were not many clothes in the shop. After all, for the people in this place, compared to buying clothes, clothes made by oneself were more affordable. Even if there were, there were no fancy clothes. They were all ordinary, monochromatic clothes, like uniforms.
Reina also planned to buy ordinary, inconspicuous clothes. But for some reason, she did not want to wear the clothes in front of her.
In fact, she had changed a lot of clothes. Her clothes were very useless during the journey. Almost every battle would ruin her clothes.
But shoes would not.
She looked down at the black boots under her feet. They were travel-worn and not beautiful, but they were very comfortable to wear. And most importantly, they were incomparably strong, even stronger than iron shoes. The reason why she could go on such a long journey was half due to these shoes.
If only there were clothes as strong as these.
Reina could not help but think.
"How about these?"
The shop owner took out a few clothes that were not on display in the shop. Reina glanced at them.
"I'll take them all."
After saying that, she took the clothes. While the other party was still in shock, a golden coin flew into the other party's hand. The Lady Boss's eyes widened when she saw the gold coin.
"Sir, I can't afford it."
She said in a panic. However, Reina had already entered the store with the clothes and was about to change.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the shop. Some voices and hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer.
The Lady Boss heard someone talking. She held the gold coin in her hand and her heart pounded. She quickly went behind the door and closed it. There were a lot of people outside. They didn't look like good people. They were all tall and strong and had fierce looks on their faces.
"Split up and search! Don't let that white-haired woman get away. She's worth a lot of money. "
At this moment, the lady boss heard someone say this.
White hair?
She was stunned for a moment. This hair color was rare, and the customers in the shop were …
Thinking of this problem, her heart pounded. The gold coin in her hand seemed to have become a hot potato.
What made her even more afraid was that those people were coming.
Bang bang!
"Open the door! Bang bang! Open the door! "
Someone knocked on the door. The Lady Boss was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly walked into the shop and looked into the room. She whispered, "Sir, are you not done yet?"
There was no response from inside. She felt very uneasy. What if she got into trouble?
She came to the door again and heard the people outside rudely knocking on the door.
"I know someone's inside! Open the door, we have urgent matters. "
"Wait a minute, someone is still changing."
The Lady Boss immediately regretted saying this. Wasn't this the same as telling them that there was another person in the shop?
However, just as she reached out to open the door, there was a loud bang. The wooden door was kicked open.
She was so scared that she retreated and put the gold coin in her hand into her back pocket.
She saw a few people who looked like bandits outside the door. They were all wearing brown leather coats, wolf-skin hats, and slim pants.
It was the Brown Wolf Gang!
This was a very special organization. It was a civilian organization that appeared after the reform of the Adventurer's Guild. It focused on the bounty and work of the Guild. Two years ago, the Adventurer's Guild seemed to have an internal crisis. The Vice President, Layle Phoenix, led the reform. Most people only knew that the Guild had abolished the entrance examination. They could join the Guild as long as they filled in a form.
The previous level system was also replaced by a point system. Except for the red and black adventurers, all adventurers had to accumulate a certain amount of work time or complete missions to obtain enough points to be promoted.
Now, below the red adventurers were the colorless adventurers, which was the level of everyone who joined the Adventurer's Guild. Although they joined the Adventurer's Guild, they didn't have the salary of adventurers who passed the examination in the past. There was also no compensation for injuries or danger in the process of missions. After a certain amount of points, you could apply for promotion and become an internal adventurer of the Guild branch, which was a blue adventurer. At this time, you could receive the official treatment of the Adventurer's Guild.
Even ordinary people could enter the Adventurer's Guild and slowly be promoted through hard work. In the past, ordinary people who didn't pass the examination of combat training would be screened out, but now the Guild provided them with a logistics promotion direction.
At the beginning of this reform, there was a large number of adventurers who opposed it. The adventurers at the bottom lost a stable income, but for the higher-ups, this reform was quite effective.
They didn't have to spend a lot of money on the adventurers at the bottom and pay them a salary. On the contrary, a large number of colorless adventurers could complete the bounty of the Guild. When they received the reward, the Guild could also take a sum of money without any risk.
No one expected this reform to be so effective. In just three years, the number of registered adventurers had exceeded the previous total by more than five times, and the number of missions completed was three times more than in the past.
This reform also created a strange organization, which was like the Brown Wolf Gang, an organization that profited from the adventurer's policy.
Countless people wanted to accumulate a certain amount of points by completing the bounty and get a stable and decent job in the Guild, but most people didn't have the ability to complete most of the missions, and they didn't have the luck to receive a mission that was within their ability. There was a loophole in the Guild's bounty, which was that they wouldn't confirm who completed the mission, only whether the mission was completed or not.
In other words, as long as the mission was completed and there was proof, the Guild would determine that the mission was completed by that person. That was equivalent to saying that someone could complete the mission and then sell the points of this mission to others. The points of a mission were distributed in the form of equal shares, and many people could complete it, so the points obtained by each person could be calculated.
The Brown Wolf Gang was an organization that benefited from this. By completing the bounty and selling the points, they not only earned the bounty, but also made more money from ordinary people. Of course, there was more than one organization. Soon, large and small teams appeared among the colorless adventurers, competing with each other to complete the bounty, and even fighting with each other.
Their appearance proved that the Guild had issued a bounty, and the target was the white-haired woman.
