Hot water, good wine, delicious food, comfortable beds, everything that Hadava promised is fulfilled here. Roy almost couldn't wait to lie down in a stable position, as a scout was not an ordinary consumer. Alice's stamina seemed surprisingly good, but when she took a hot bath, she couldn't help but fall asleep.

"So, a dragon has attacked Helgen, Ismir is on top, and that guy is right!" Alvo couldn't help but fall into deep anxiety when he heard the news of Hadava. With the loss of Helgen, the town of Brookwood is exposed to great danger. It's not just dragons. Bandits, beasts, vampires, and even werewolves will have their sights on the unguarded Creek.

Not to mention, before Helgen's large number of troops were garrisoned, the cinder mines that supplied the Ximu iron ore were often occupied by bandits, which was definitely a huge blow to Ximu, whose economic system was thin, and even more so for him.

"This news must be reported to the lord. Brookwood is unable to defend itself from the threat of dragons. Alvo said sternly. "I'll write right away, and I'll have Victor deliver it to Xueman in a moment. He stood up and said to Hadava in an unquestioning tone, "You can sleep well, and your uncle will take care of the rest." ”

Hadava nodded, he was almost sleepy after eating and drinking. So he also stood up. Turning around, he walked upstairs—the room that the Alvors had prepared for him, next to their daughter Dosi—which Hadava had never understood.

"Wait a minute," Alvo stopped the clerk as he walked up the steps. "Are those two of your friends reliable?"

"Very reliable and they helped me a lot. I owe them more than one life. ”

"That being said, but I don't think the Imperial girl named Alice looks at you a little wrong. ”

Hadava shuddered suddenly, "Damn, I didn't mess with her!" He suddenly thought of something, turned to the foundry, and said, "I think it's because I owe her a copy of the full-cover steel armor...... She was going to go to the East Fort to find a mage to restore her lost memories, and it wasn't very reassuring for her to go on the road alone. ”

"Uncle Alvor, can you make me a better set of plate armor for her? ”

"So, she won't be here for a few days, right?"

"That's probably the case, I'm going to report to Dugu City soon. ”

"That's fine. The foundry's voice suddenly became relaxed, "Your friend is my friend, and I will make the best one for her." Go to sleep, my child. ”

Hadawa, who didn't know why, came to the room that his uncle had prepared for him, and I don't know when his relatives became a little ...... Convoluted. The uncle and his wife were acceptable, but Dosh, the little princess who was a baby in his first place...... It made him very 'tired'.

"You're back~ Brother Hadawa. A little girl in a cool pale white dress, with crooked eyebrows and crimson cheeks, emerged from the quilt. Her body had not yet grown, and her white neck was smooth and neat. Filled with youthful energy. Perhaps because she was too flustered, the strap on her right shoulder spread out slightly, revealing a white patch.

"The bed isn't warm yet, but Dosse will sleep with her brother. Dosse's voice was sweet and childish, like a morning breeze blowing through the mountains.

"Oh...... No. Hadava covered his eyes, he would rather go back and get the dragon.

……

While the clerk was in a predicament, trivial but interconnected events were happening in an orderly manner. The news of the dragon's return spread throughout the town almost in the blink of an eye. An atmosphere of fear and unease pervades all around.

"Signar, you'll take care of the rest of this place. ”

"Hah! When you come back, it will still be as well organized as it is now!"

The Sleeping Giant's Guild is the only place in Creekwood where you can ignore the authority of the forger, lumberjack, and chamber of commerce. The proprietress Delphine has a wide range of magical powers and a wide range of friends, so she can easily deal with whatever she encounters. But she's not very keen on taking care of the clubhouse's affairs. Instead, they were given to Signar - a guy who didn't seem very smart. He only seems to drink and be a peacemaker. Even if Swan and Faindal, two long-time rivals, fought in the clubhouse, they only went up to persuade them. He didn't even dare to call the guards!

However, Delphine trusts him and knows he won't mess up anything given to him.

And Signar knew Delphine just as well. In his eyes, the energy of this Brighton woman was far more than what she appeared to be. He knew very well how his predecessors had disappeared without explanation, and even one of them had been chopped into meat sauce under the clubhouse. Who told him to peek into something he shouldn't know?

Signar was in charge of the books, and he knew that countless fortunes flowed into this humble little club every month of the year, and he knew the final fate of the thousands of swords and armor that [floated] in Creekwood every year. He also knew the origin of the mysterious mercenary group that occasionally haunted outside Ximu Town. He knew what a magnificent and huge underground palace he had under his feet!

So the 'smart' and 'brave' Signar became stupid, timid, and submissive. It's anyone who dares to play tricks on him.

And that's the agent Delphine wants to see.

Just when Delphine was [routinely] out on a wandering. A small meeting is being held in an orderly manner within the Brook Wood Trade Association.

"Helgen was indeed attacked by a dragon. The wizard I hired confirmed the destruction of Helgen with his divination. Some of the traces on the table do not seem to be attainable by human beings. "Trade Master Lukan is a tall, lanky man, his eyes flickering and his fingers often wiggling unnaturally.

"My hunters have confirmed with their falcons that there is really no living thing in that area, and not only that, but these elite falcons refuse to fly deeper into the fortress. This is because only super-high-level creatures have left messages there. "Gordo is a seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman, but being able to monopolize the timber industry in the entire Ximu Town shows that she is by no means an idle person.

"In this way, my nephew's message is correct. I have asked the lord for military assistance. Alvor pondered for a moment, "After all, our forces are too scarce. ”

"After all, we have steel, timber, gold coins, and the nearest large farm is less than a day's away. The lords won't allow us to master too many armies. Gordo said in a low voice: "And after the three captains of the guard are replaced, even if it is his descendant, he will not be sent to us lightly." ”

"But this is also our chance, isn't it?" Lucan's eyes lit up, "With enough troops, Ximu's position will be even more important. As long as we don't tear each other down, it won't be so easy for Barguv to bury the nails. And he needs us to keep an eye on Delphin......"

The meeting was eagerly and intensely going on. Soon the discussion between the three of them came to an end. At that moment, Alvo suddenly said to Lucan, "I've heard that you have a shipment that has been robbed by those characters who have fallen cold, right? ”

"That's right, it's not a lot, but it's a bit valuable. Lukan was slightly stunned, and then asked suspiciously, "Are you interested?"

"Nope. Alvo whispered, as if he was struggling. "I feel...... We should send someone to investigate, and although there are not many robbers in the cold, they are not a threat. ”

"Don't bother you, I've decided to let Swann go. He is a rare all-rounder in Ximu Town. It's right here to shine for everyone in town. ”

"Whew!" said Gordor, laughing disdainfully, "a man who only drinks all day?" you might as well let Fahndal go, he is at least the captain of the guard and an archery teacher. It's definitely much better than a reckless man who can only drink and play with an axe!"

"Faldar has another important task. ”

"Oh~ Is it a matter of flirting with Kemira?

"That's enough!" just as the smell of gunpowder grew between the two and they were about to quarrel. The foundry interrupted them.

"I have a better option. ”

Lukan's eyes rolled slightly, and his expression was lifted, "It's that little girl, they rescued your nephew from that dead man's cave." You're going to repay her like that?"

"She's a friend of Hadawa and a tough fighter, and I'm sure she won't disappoint. ”

Gordo smiled softly, "All the more because she's a beauty." Your nephew is almost glued to her. ”

Alvo was unmoved, he just said lightly as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him: "Sooner or later, Hadava will inherit my family business, inherit my blood! I have an obligation to make her strong. The foundry looked at Gordot: "My apprentice told me that a few strangers had entered your lumberyard not long ago. Maybe he's just dazzled?"

"Cut!" Gordo pouted, turning his head away.

Alvo turned to look at Lukan again, "A new batch of goods is about to be submitted, and I feel that there may be a need for some correction in the price." ”

"Oh!" Lukan rubbed his hands sharply, "this needs to be discussed. ”

"But I have a question, how do you convince her, how do you deal with your nephew?"

"I don't bother you with this. ”

Next, there is a more complex and elaborate exchange of interests.
