"Hey ty wake up now"

“What… what happened”

“Something is happening in the city”

Tyler sat up in bed, wiping his eyes with his hand. And in the early hours of the morning, he looked at his friend who had caused this commotion.

“What's going on in the city? And why did you wake me up so early, Brand?

“I found our ticket to the north”

“I thought the gate wasn't open yet”

“No, my friend, it's a different way, and it's free”

“Brand, are you pissing with me, if you are, it's too early for that.”

Unable to stand it any longer, Brand held the parchment to Tyler's face.

Tyler's eyes widened as he read the scroll in Brand's hand. But then the light in his eyes slowly faded.

“Dude, they're looking for a city guard, you know my Class is [bard],” he said disappointed.

Tyler and Brand had met on the boat they used to cross the ocean, and they had been traveling together ever since. Tyler was a bard. And he wanted to see the north. Brand was looking for some adventure. And so they decided to travel together. When they came to Manumit, they were almost out of money. A few small jobs from the Adventurers guild had kept them alive, but it wasn't enough to go North.

“No, you idiot, read under it,” Brand said excitedly.

Tyler looked hopefully at the Scroll again.

“We need all kinds of Classes who want to join the Campaign.”

Tyler's eyes widened as he read these words. he jumped out of his bed and hugged Brand. their last money was also about to run out. And they had a golden chance to cross north.

When their emotions calm down a little.

“We need to get an interview first, they can only take a limited number of people,” Brand said.

“Where is it?” Tyler said, wanting to get his name written as soon as possible.

“In a place called the 'adventurer's house'. Interviews are starting tomorrow, but first, we have to get our name written. “

“What are we waiting for, let's go,” Tyler said as he walked to the closet to change.

The two of them left the cheapest inn they could find in Manumit and started walking down the street. They were holding a piece of bread from yesterday.

After asking a few directions, they also learned where the mentioned inn was.

Before long, they were already in front of the Inn, but the sight they saw made them a little discouraged.

The front of the inn's door was full of people.

“I guess we're not the first to hear about it,” Tyler said.

A Hawk-headed avian emerged from the door of the inn.

“First of all, I want to welcome you all, I, Mafzer, the leader of the expeditionary team, I know you are all in a hurry to get your name written, but let's do it in order, in order,” said

Hearing this, the crowd managed to stand in a row to get the attention of Mefzar.

Tyler and Brand also found their place at the end of the line. But soon the line was getting longer behind them with the new arrivals.

While we were waiting in line, Tyler opened the parchment to examine it in a little more detail and began to read.

There had been many teams going North in the past, but no one had taken such a route to recruit.

The scroll Wrote in capital letters that they were looking for a city guard. Just below it, it was written that All Classes can apply. City guards were looking for people who could fight over 10 lw.

One sentence caught his attention as Tyler was reading it.

“Any race can audition, including Goblins with a certain ability.”

Another strange thing is "City guards will receive 3 weeks of training and during this time Inclusive payments will be made".

Even during training, they would earn Money and this was an unprecedented offer.

As the line was advancing rapidly, they had come to the door of the inn. When the 2 of them came to enter the inn, they quickly entered through the open door.

Opposite them stood an elf and a human sitting at the Table.

“Yes, what are you going to apply for,” said the Human.

Brand approached the table where the human and elf were sitting.

“I was going to apply for the city guard,” he said excitedly.

“What is your class?”

"Swordmaster"

After the elf wrote down what was said on a piece of paper, the human looked at Tyler.

Tyler took a step forward as well, then spoke.

“Any class can join, right?” he said.

The human nodded.

“My class [bard['"

The human was surprised by this answer.

"You're the first bard to apply, and your two interviews are tomorrow at 2 o'clock," he said.

After the two left their names, they left the door of the Inn. They started walking on the street.

--------------

“Phuff, I didn't expect it to be this hard,” Arthur said after taking a deep breath.

“Yeah, it was pretty tiring,” said Elda.

“How many have applied, Elda,” said Arthur, wondering about the number.

“After looking at the papers on the Elda, 200 people applied to the City guards for 50 other classes.” she said.

“It's a pretty good number for the first day,” he said.

“Yeah, there was a lot of interest,” she said.

Old mike had made up his mind in the past two months. He was going to sell the inn and open an inn in the new city, of course, he was waiting for a beautiful design from Arthur.

Just then, Askar and bill opened the backyard door and went in.

“Is everything ready?”

“Yeah, it looks like it's ready for tomorrow,” Askar said.

They had been busy preparing the inn's backyard for use in tomorrow's city guard audition.

“I'm as hungry as a monster, is it ready to eat Mike,” said Bill

"Get to the table, everything's ready," said Mike.

Finally, the whole team gathered around the table. Before long, the inn's cook brought the food on large trays.

“Gabby, I'm so glad you're coming with us,” Bill said.

Gabby was a middle-aged dwarf woman who worked at Old Mike's inn. When Old Mike decided to move north, she had decided to come too.

“If you hadn't come, we should have come here periodically to eat your food,” Askar said.

“Haha, Thank you guys,” said Gabby, making her happy with the compliments she received.

The team, who couldn't stand the smell of the food any longer, quickly plunged into the food.

“Mefzar, have you spoken to Tahr?” said Arthur.

He said, "I spoke at noon, they have established a team of 285 people, everything is ready." The people who would work in the city construction were ready.

“What happened to the conversation with the Asters authorities?” Elda asked.

Since the journey took place via aster and there were almost 1000 people in the convoy, it was necessary to inform the Aster authorities of the action plan and get permission.

“We have a meeting tomorrow morning, Arthur and Askar. You're Coming with me. Seeing a few human races might speed things up,” Mefzar said.

"Did you hear ?" said Rook. Rook was doing the leaflet distribution business. They made deals with the unemployed goblins on the street. These leaflets were hung in all the streets of Manumit for a certain fee. Because of this, he was aware of a few things going on in the city.

“What?” said Arthur.

"They're caught in the gang of Elves"

"I think we helped the Manumit people unintentionally," said Mefzar with a laugh.

Two months had passed since the events with Gartun. And this event had a domino effect. When Compodia's offer of Exile was rejected, the Compodian City guards captured the leader of Aster's underground gang. After that, the elves and humans had captured the dowand's Gang and now the elves' gang had been captured. Manumit was probably living his cleanest period in terms of Gangs.

"Hey Arthur," Mefzar said after popping a bite of his food into his mouth.

"Yeah".

“Any news from Lady Elise?”

"I'm still waiting for his answer"

“She will not come, my friend, I think we are waiting in vain. Why should she leave this already organized place and come with us to a city that has not yet been built” said Askar

“If she doesn't come, she'll lose herself. I'm thinking of implementing many of the projects I had in mind when we built a new city,” said Arthur.

“Hahaha, Look, you're right about that,” said Darkis. The coffee business was completely successful thanks to Arthur and they had earned ten times their main money in 2-3 weeks.

When their meal was over, everyone took a cup of coffee and continued the conversation. Tomorrow a more tiring day awaits them than today. But there was no hopelessness because of anyone in the team, on the contrary, they were waiting for tomorrow with hope and excitement.
