Act IX
Rosen had little interest in what happened to Slark next, and he only wanted to track down the fleeing Assassin-like creature, but after some investigation, he could not find any trace of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It seems that the other party also wants to survey the terrain in advance and prepare to start tomorrow when recruiting. ”
It occurred to Rosen that he had searched the city for a while, but found nothing.
Thinking about finding out more information, Rosen returned to the city square, and the money bag was filled with a few more points thanks to Slark's help, and he went from one vendor to another, buying some and not, and at the same time basically finding out the general situation of the world.
Rosen is currently in the small country of Astel on the continent of Atlas, the kingdom of Aster, which has a long history, once sank and was almost eaten away by the Wendland Federation, but the princess Elephils at that time turned the tide and finally completed the rejuvenation, which saved the country.
Now, a hundred years later, the heroes of the past are gone, and nations are moving towards peaceful exchanges, and people's eyes have turned from the chaotic continent to the borders of civilizations—the evernight forest under the walls of the sky and the vast wasteland behind it.
The so-called Sky Wall is actually the name of a huge storm group that has lasted for thousands of years and has run across the entire continent, and the Eternal Night Forest under it is full of dangers and opportunities, and the Bunagene where Rosen is now located is a small town on the edge of the Eternal Night Forest.
It was thanks to the endless stream of adventurers who went to the Forest of Eternal Night in search of opportunities that Bunagien gradually prospered, and in the hands of this generation of lord Baron Ryan Ulysses, this prosperity reached an unprecedented peak.
As for tomorrow's recruitment meeting, it is the Ulysses family to gather the elite to escort the eldest lady Grandia Ulysses to the ultramarine fortress deep in the eternal night forest.
According to the information obtained by Lawson, a small demon tide is coming, and Bunajien can only survive this terrible catastrophe by relying on the defensive circle of the ultramarine fortress left by the ancient sages in the forest.
To activate this circle, members of the Ulysses family needed to go to the fortress in person, so Miss Grandia was the obvious choice.
In a poem a hundred years ago, the White Knight Brando escorted Miss Antitina, the eldest daughter of the Ulysses family, into the Forest of Eternal Night. ”
The thin young man said with amusement, his name was Io, he had been a mercenary for three years, and he could almost take charge of his own team by following his squad.
"I think the white knight Brando chose to go deep into the Eternal Night Forest for the status of the Ulysses family, how can there be such a selfless knight in the world who would sacrifice his life for love and honor?"
The red-haired woman, named Lena, was not originally active in the area, but hurried from a nearby town after hearing the news of the recruitment.
Rosen listened silently to the argument between the two, without saying a word, looking quite a bit of a contemplative knight's demeanor.
With the information, many things don't seem to be as simple as they used to be.
For example, why Grantia Ulysses was chased and killed by a few mercenaries in the forest, and why he was tasked with preventing Baron Ulysses from being assassinated, it seems that there are indeed people who want to completely destroy the family, Rosen thought to himself, wondering if they knew that they had provoked the enemy.
According to the mercenaries in front of them, only the people of the Ulysses family can activate the defensive circle, if the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes succeeds, and Miss Grandia and Baron Ulysses both die, then without any protection, can Buonagien survive under the invasion of the demon tide?
Rosen savored the cause and effect, and felt as if he had come to some unpleasant conclusions, so he asked them a few more innocuous questions, and returned to the hotel just as the sun was about to sink into the mountains.
The Dog and Whistle Inn was full of friends at all times, and the proprietress was a little more comfortable as she swirled between the various guests, and the smile on her face became a little stronger when she saw Lawson push the door in.
"Lord Rosen, you can come back, I made a delicious pork pie today, still hot, and I'll send you upstairs. ”
Knowing that Lawson was generous, the proprietress naturally did not save the energy to say hello, and smiled all over her face, as if this could squeeze Lawson's full money bag dry.
"I said boss, why don't I have this treatment?" "It's not fair, it's not fair!" "I want to eat pork pie too!"
A few guests quipped, drawing a roll of the hostess's eyes.
They know the proprietress in her mind, if they can earn a few more gold coins from the rich boy in front of them, they are afraid that the proprietress can even go to bed and sleep, so this little pork pie is really nothing.
"Thank you. ”
Rosen said lightly, he glanced at the hall, Slark did not appear, and at the same time, there were a few young new faces in the corner, presumably all of them were young mercenaries who came to admire.
It seems that he has to participate in this recruitment event, and no matter how bad it is, he will be guarded on the spot, and Rosen guesses that there is a chance that the assassination will happen at this recruitment meeting, and he has to be prepared for the task.
Walking upstairs and pushing the door into his room, Rosen saw the fragrant pork pie on the table for the first time.
The minced meat mixed with a hint of mushrooms makes the pie thick and firm, and the broth has an enticing aroma that Rosen would have been eager to pick up a fork and feast on it if it were in the past.
However, he is now a skeleton, even if these smells are felt by his own sense, let alone taste the deliciousness, although he has some regret in his heart, he still pushes the plate away and takes out today's harvest from his pocket.
The gray-white and tough suspected winter wolf leather should be able to make good leather armor after processing.
One bottle of Ecstasy had been used up, and the remaining one was kept for later use - of course, Lawson wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits.
Several throwing knives forged from fine iron to deal with enemies at a certain distance.
A short sword, quite sharp, capable of piercing weak armor.
At the beginning, the rusted longsword, Lawson tried to sharpen it to make it sharper, but ordinary whetstones could not remove the rust from it, so he had to give up.
Although there was not much equipment on his body, it was complete, and Lawson put these things back on his body, sat down on the bed again, and quietly waited for the next day to come.
