You tell the scholar that Adele is better suited for the current platoon.

The instructors began to set up tactics and equip Adele and Fierdin, respectively.

Annette handed you a magic scroll and asked in a low voice, "I don't quite understand how a good person could give you a baronial title? ”

"It's not unfounded. The scholar explains, "Any accident has its inevitability. First, why did the Marquis inspect the labyrinth camp a while ago? It was not his territory, and he had no right to inspect it. What exactly does he care about?"

“...... Worried that the dungeon will send troops to attack his town again?" Annette speculated.

The scholar smiled and nodded, "Miss Annette is only half right. There is also the fact that wolves have more meat and less meat. The ancient city had three viscounts and nine barons, all of whom did not have their own fiefdoms, and the two viscounts and seven barons of Wuxiang Bay had not received a fiefdom, because there were far more minor titles below the earl than in the town. Do you know the end of the former speaker?—— getting the baronial title and throwing it into a small village to be the head of the village is no longer bleak. ”

Annette tilted her head in confusion.

"Sooner or later, the fat of the labyrinth camp will be targeted, and I guess that the Marquis is actually planning to put a henchman to rule the camp when he comes to inspect it. ”

"Uh, but the Labyrinth Camp is!"

The scholar raised his left hand to indicate to the nobles who had come to rule the small camp by His Majesty, and then raised his right hand to indicate that on the right hand was the investor: "Which side is bigger?" Annette was silent.

There are no more than three forms of settlements in the kingdom: the state of lordlessness is all owned by His Majesty, which is mostly found in barren mountain villages, newly seized towns or new villages built on their own, villages or small towns under the direct rule of the nobility, which are mostly found in large prosperous cities or poor rural areas that no one is interested in, and towns that are specifically managed by the lord of the castle and the council, and which are more common in the case of marquis and dukes who have multiple towns in a large territory such as marquis and duke.

So

If you don't become a baron, it won't be long before a small nobleman suddenly descends from the sky like the former Speaker to take over the control of the labyrinth camp. The greatest thing in the world is the king's land. Well, it doesn't matter, you can continue to collect benefits from what you built, as long as you hand it over to the airborne nobles in the end.

The scholar continued: "Actually, our market doesn't matter, this situation is often encountered, but the return is less after the initial stage. Moreover, even if "a baron can buy it with money", we don't actually have that kind of special channel, and even if we buy it, we can't be sealed and the territory is still in vain. After a pause, she bows slightly, "For the Elder, you will lose control of the camp. As far as the Marquis is concerned, if he is replaced to manage the camp, I am afraid that the layman will soon be lost, and the dungeon will rise again and send troops to attack his old man's town - and fight back in a more ferocious way. ”

Anyway, it is to install his own henchmen, it is better to promote the leader of the adventurer's guild to a baron to show his popularity, and it is also convenient to suppress the dungeon. That old man in his last years, why did he think so much?

"Second, the bay of the five lanes was proposed by the old man of the Marquis, if you don't give the elder a minimum title, you will be sent to death. The scholar looked at the badges and badges of the Temporary Guards and Council Office staff of the Blade Shield and Rainbow Shadows, and sighed, "Excuse me, Miss Annette, who is the most powerful in a town where both the guard and the Council Hall are ineffective?"

"Without any officials, of course only the nobles are the largest. ”

Well, the scholar's tone is very affirmative: "That Poltz has completely lost control to the point of forgetfulness because he is not restrained by anything." If you don't have a knighthood and don't live for more than a week, then no matter what the Marquis sent you to Wuxiang Bay, won't it be impossible to achieve it?"

"Third, any talent can either be co-opted or eradicated, and there has never been a ruler in history who has allowed a talented person with energy to remain in the opposition for a long time. The Elder was so sharp in the court that he killed too hard...... Please be careful, when the accumulation of defects in the bay of the five lanes has been resolved by you, the marquis's attitude should also be clear - whether he intends to be included in the command or eradicated, it is impossible to let you go freely anyway. ”

Leaving Wuxiang Bay alive is not the most important thing, but whether you are a hero of the kingdom or a thief when you leave.

Annette didn't understand, and asked rhetorically: "How do you say this, of course we ......"

hush

The scholar smiled and put his index finger to his lips.

The word "of course" is dangerous, so it's better not to put it on your lips. Let me make the most blatant hypothesis - on the 18th, the Marquis's granddaughter "Lady Sylvana" died due to the misfortune caused by the "Golden Crown", and although she has "fully recovered", the hatred is still remembered. You don't need to eradicate the marquis's granddaughter, and you can't do that. But if you leave the Bay of Five Lanes, the Guild has a serious hostile relationship with Miss Sylvana...... Why doesn't the Marquis cook as cunning as a lackey, and it is impossible for you to deal with your own granddaughter?"

......

The ancient slave trading city and several surrounding towns were all the marquis's domain, and he just wanted to leave as much legacy as possible to future generations before he died—a cleaner and richer bay of five lanes, and more and more powerful henchmen.

This is much more complicated than in the ancient slave trading city: at that time, you only had to think about how to live and win, but now, you have to not only live and win, but also care about the means and the end after the end, otherwise you will become the next rampant and unsightly Portz, and even sent by power to a ghost place where birds don't, far from prosperity and civilization, and finally forced to fall into the grass.

The two receptionists seemed to be armed.

"Okay, remember what I just taught?"

"Yes, fighters rely on equipment, especially in low-end and high-end rounds. Can...... I'm not a warrior. ”

Adele was about to cry. She put on a Mithril chain mail, which she couldn't cut through with a normal weapon, and held a weapon in her hand that resembled both a dagger and a double-barreled short musket, rather than a blade stuck between the two barrels of the short musket. Very strange weapons.

The instructor in the front row held Adele and said with relief: "It doesn't matter, you use it as a dagger, this is a simple weapon that anyone will use." The Short Musket is powerful but has a terrible range, and is a simple weapon for everyone. In a duel, you don't need to reload, and you don't have that time, you just have to think about winning with one hit. ”

Could you please do so?

Oh, yes.

The instructor in the front row borrowed the "Stand Shield Ring" in your hand and put it on Adele's left hand, telling her that it was only a large transparent and weightless shield that everyone could use.

Adele's face was pale, her morale almost collapsed, and she even began to regret following Wuxiang Bay.

The instructor in the front row suddenly mentioned Matthew and said, "It turns out that in the market, I know that kid, and he is also the only acquaintance I know in the guild, and it is quite kind to see him." That kid is good everywhere, but he has a weird taste for girls. ”

"Weird?" Adele was stunned.

"yes. He doesn't like the little sister who takes the initiative to give him a hug, and he doesn't like the gentle big sister next door, and a while ago he politely rejected the marriage of his father and daughter. I guess maybe she likes the handsome type who can brave the world together. ”

Adele blinked and confirmed: Really?

The instructor in the front row shrugged: "Now is an opportunity, right? Level 0 counter-kill level 4, absolutely handsome." Sister supports you. ”

...... Adele's eyes changed.

She muttered: Fight, then raised the transparent force field shield, shook the dagger musket in her hand, and kept chanting the tactics that the instructor had just told - "Even if you scratch the other party, you can decide the winner immediately." You only need to slash the opponent once, one slash. Be handsome, be handsome, huh!"

Sooner or later, she will die because of the man......

However, the little girl's posture of raising a shield is still quite imposing.

Morale is important.

Fierting directly hugged her knees and squatted on the ground, refusing to stand up, she didn't want to die yet! Obviously, her morale had completely collapsed before the fight began.

The instructor in the back row sighed,

Gently hugged Fierting from behind,

"Don't be afraid," he muttered, "I heard you shot a whole box of crossbow bolts at Roberts Doug, and they all hit." Isn't that talented?"

"Woo, no, I ......"

"What should I say? What the hell is an elf, and he is extremely talented in picking up any long-range weapon, and his bloodline is very pure. ”

Fierting was stunned and asked, "......Bloodline?" Are you talking about me?"

The instructor in the back row smiled: "Yes, your elven clan is very particular about blood, and I heard that children will be asked to draw bows and shoot arrows very early, so as to judge the merits of talent." Archer blood is hereditary. Well...... This is the same as a naturally weak Terran boy, who works hard to build his muscles, and eventually becomes a big man, and his child will be born muscular rather than weak. Some efforts flow into noble blood. ”

It's true?

The instructor in the back row nodded gently: "Yes! You must come from some noble elven bloodline, they are all good at archery, and your children will be the same." If you train diligently, a new elven clan will be born, the "Marksman Fierdine Clan", named after the female matriarch. Your children will be noble because of you, and no one will be bullied. ”

Fielting was stunned, probably imagining some picture, and her cheeks suddenly turned crimson.

"Elves give birth to a new clan, and most of them are formed by a good and reliable big sister who gathers other compatriots. They build homes, reproduce, and protect their paradise – which is why elves are mostly matriarchal. Is it a "reliable big sister?" The instructor in the back row turned his head to look at the female elf housekeeper who was holding a rag with her head hanging down, and continued to flicker, "It is estimated that the adventurers will rescue more and more elves, can they rely on others besides you? ”

Fieltin has a picture in his mind again,

Her eyes also changed,

The mouth muttered repeatedly: reliable big sister, reliable big sister, elf clan, elf clan, those children can only rely on me, only me.

"Repeat the most important memory point I've taught you?"

Fierting clenched the dagger double-barreled short musket in his hand that was exactly the same as the one next to him, nodded vigorously and replied: "Yes! The back row can only hit others, not be beaten by others." Keep moving, and block Viscount Poltz's view with the enemy's body, in case that bad guy tricks me into shooting black guns and interfering with a fair duel. ”

It's so reliable~

Seeing Adele and Fierdine walking forward with high morale, the two instructors secretly high-fived.

The duel began,

Half a minute is over.

The moment the scholar announced the "start", Fierting stabbed himself in the arm with the tip of his dagger and disappeared into thin air!

"Ahh

"Honorable nobleman, it is the +1 dagger short musket of the Dharma, equipped with the level 2 arcane "invisibility", which is not supported by outsiders. ”

All of a sudden, the situation became two against one.

A pirate laughs at Adele, who opens the door, "Win!" and pulls the trigger of the short musket, and the massive impact of the lead bullet hits the force field shield, causing Adele to fall to the ground on the spot. The other came around and slashed head-on with a scimitar from the side of the shield!

Adele dodges in surprise and is slashed in the shoulder, only to be blocked by Mithril Chain Mail.

She waved her hand in a panic,

The dagger musket slashed the pirate's leg.

Very light, very shallow wounds.

The pirate estimated that the blade was poisonous, and immediately retreated, took out the antidote and drank it down, and then fell to his knees with a grunt, his hands hanging weakly. He gasped for breath, as if he had just run 100,000 kilometers.

“...... It's not poison?'s "Exhaustion" spell?" He was extremely tired and couldn't move, and immediately called out to his companion for help, "Hey, come on...... Help me!"

Rumble!

The barrels of the double-barreled guns rang out at the same time!

Fieldin suddenly appeared very close and shot the pirate in the chest as he was about to help. The black smoke rose up, and the pirate immediately flew five meters away.

Through the heart, one blow kills.

Unexpectedly—and there was also blood on Viscount Portz's chest—two lead bullets pierced the pirate's chest and continued to move forward, hitting Viscount Polz impartially.

Spit out a mouthful of blood,

Poltz staggered into the arms of the guard behind him. He trembled and pulled out a short musket from the waist of the guard, glared at Fiertin, and scolded weakly, "Damn it...... Untouchables...... Actually hit this kind of idea......"

Seeing that he was "surely" about to be shot by Bolts, Fierting immediately ran to Adele's side as the instructor instructed, hiding behind the force field shield and squatting down with his head in his hands. At this time, Adele had already moved her position - just like Fiertin was told: "Remember, always block the view of Boltz with the enemy's body after the duel starts, in case the bad guy hits the black gun and interferes with the duel. 」

thereupon

The seriously wounded Bolts, the exhausted pirates, the gun-raising Adele, and the squatting Fiertin, four points in a straight line.

Adele focused all her attention on targeting the pirates who couldn't move around, not paying attention to what the current state of Boltz was.

She pulled the trigger,

The pirate died,

Viscount Polz was shot twice more and collapsed in a pool of blood.

A large group of people hurriedly dragged away the body of Viscount Polz, pointing at you and shouting: "How dare you kill the nobles! You are doomed! Lord Viscount has money, wait for him to come back and strike a backhand!"

The group retreated as fast as they came.

He's dead?

Just killed Viscount Polz?

"No problem, just kill him in public. ”

"After all, it's a duel between two nobles, and it's a stray bullet, there won't be any problems, and I've already recorded the fantasy of the whole battle, and I'm not afraid to investigate the case from above. Preparation for "full recovery" and the hiring of external senior pastors...... Three days, maybe two days, that's the respite we've earned. ”

Four new employees formally salute you. Due to the chaotic situation, the introduction was late, and they were all standard staff of the ancient city market.

The all-round front-row instructor of level 7 introduced himself: "The level 11 active duty warrior, who guides everyone's melee skills in a decent and systematic manner, is especially effective for true front-row adventurers, and can also improve self-defense ability for ordinary receptionists." I heard that you're only planning to hire three people, so I squeezed in after seeing your mock odds. Looking forward to working for you!"

The all-round scholar of level 7 introduced himself: "Level 14 retired mystic, dual cultivation of arcane magic, little girl is not talented, I admire you very much." I heard that you are only going to hire three people, so you squeezed in to apply. I would be honored to stay!"

The all-round rear instructor of level 7 introduced himself: "Level 11 active mage, I am very much looking forward to guiding all adventurers, you and Miss Annette to continue to grow. My weapon skills are majored in bows and arrows, not daggers. After watching the mock battle between you and Miss Annette, I am honored to be booked as your employee!"

The level 7 all-round merchant introduced himself: "Level 7 active mage, he is ready to set foot on every shop and every caravan in the bay of the five lanes for you. I need to use the guild's principal and all the money I earn back to the guild. Wuxiang Bay is a tough piece of fat, and you need a businessman to escort you. I am very honored to be your scheduled employee!"

By the way, the two "Reservoir + 1 Dagger Multi-Twin Barreled Short Muskets" and a Mithril Chain Mail were the honorable gifts promised by the Market when they saw them off, and they were all worth three digits.

The quest of Frostridge Village was completed too quickly, and a bottle of Wine King "Tears of Frostridge" was added, and it is estimated that the intelligence value will be +1 after drinking.

Who are you going to keep?

A, three people except the instructors in the front row.

B, three people except scholars.

C, all four are left, but your weekly private account will be -7, and the private hiring will make the guards and council forces unhappy.

What should the wine king do?

1. Drink it yourself.

2. Give it to other people to drink.

Although it can be sold for a few hundred gold, no one will sell it, right?
