"Your Excellency! Your Excellency the Marquis of Romria! ”

Soon after, in the city of Tanzania, a panicked Imperial soldier rushed out from among several guards guarding both sides of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion: "The Imperial envoy is here!" ”

"An envoy of the Empire?"

A middle-aged man who was quietly sitting in the center of a pavilion on the side of the garden in the City Lord's Mansion and put down the tea cup in his hand gradually showed a displeased look on his face: "Which family's envoy is it?" House of Christians or House of Trist? ”

"This ...... They claimed to be the attendants of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Swallowing his gasping breath hard, the soldier's voice replied hurriedly, "They brought urgent news from the east, saying—"

"The returning convoy was attacked."

Before the soldier could finish speaking, several knights in heavy armor and looking imposing broke into the city lord's palace along the gate that had been pushed open earlier: "Your reaction is too slow, Your Excellency Bamos Romriya. ”

"You ......"

Standing up from his seat with a frown, the middle-aged aristocratic male known as Bamos Romlia walked out of the pavilion surrounded by a group of guards behind him: "Who are you?" ”

"We are the Second Cavalry of the Imperial Royal Guard, the squire of Lord Srod Roland."

As if mentioning their proud status, several coercive knights walked neatly to the bottom of the steps where the pavilion was located, and the tall figures and the silhouette of the gold-rimmed armor intimidated the surrounding guards at the same time, and seemed to invisibly close the physical height of the crowd on both sides: "At the same time, he was also Chris Frey Kadreft's personal bodyguard." ”

"Do you have any questions?"

“……”

Taking a step back slightly, the middle-aged nobleman known as the Marquis of Bamos Romria focused his shocked gaze on the knights in front of him: "You are the personal attendants of His Royal Highness the Prince?" But how are you—"

"We have been entrusted by His Royal Highness the Prince to come to this place to convey the battle report ahead."

Interrupting the other party's words again in a deep voice, the leading knight's face gradually became serious: "The convoy of imperial nobles heading to the province of Santeleus was attacked by a group of unknown people in the border area of the province of Koska, and the characteristics of the other party and the restorers were highly overlapping, and the battle on the scene was also very fierce, and the casualties when the enemy was finally repulsed were twelve dead and twenty-three wounded. ”

"If it weren't for the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, who happened to pass through that place, that so-called distant relative of yours would probably have been dead in the wild." Speaking of this, he raised his head with a cruel smile: "The other party has dispatched more than fifty magicians, and your escort team ...... It doesn't seem to be as powerful as it seems. ”

"Five, more than fifty magicians?" Compared with the leisurely appearance of holding a tea cup before, Bamos Romlya's face became significantly worse: "How is it possible? How could there be so many restorers there? ”

"What are you questioning, the security of the Empire? Or is it the authenticity of the information we provide? ”

Pouting his mouth, the leading Imperial Gold-Plated Knight finally showed a somewhat disdainful expression: "We have come here to remind you of the current grim situation, those small people lurking in the Empire......"

"I'm starting to show my fangs."

The silence lasted for a moment in the lush garden as the words fell, and then it was broken by the sudden exclamation of the Imperial Lord, and the knight captain who was looking at the group of guards who were running in a panic under the command of Lord Romria then let out a disdainful snort again, turned to several cavalrymen wearing the same gold-rimmed armor beside him, and whispered: "The local imperial nobles are really useless, let's act according to the original plan, Gomez, Raman, The two of you will first take someone to patrol the perimeter of Tanzania City to see if there is anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Yes."

"The rest of us will follow me to the Violet Tower, and we'll deal with the Mage Council first."

Quietly turning his body, the knight captain's eyes gradually became serious: "If you want to deal with those dark magicians like god sticks, after all, you still need magical means, the Violet Tower is already one of the few magic strongholds in the empire, and Archmage Violet can be regarded as having a little relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince......

"This, this captain."

Before he could finish his words, the voice belonging to the Imperial Marquis sounded behind the group of people again: "And all the respected knights, do you need to find a place to rest first?" Although our Tanzania city is remote, there are many taverns and inns for guests......"

"No, I don't." The knight captain who turned around again temporarily hid the impatience on his face: "We can find a place to camp ourselves, and His Royal Highness the Prince may come over soon." ”

"King, Your Highness the Prince?" The Marquis Bamot Romria's face changed twice: "He, why did he come—ah no, I mean, how could His Royal Highness the Prince deign to be in such a dangerous place?" ”

"Dangerous?"

The emotionless eyes gradually brought a little strangeness, and the knight captain sank his face: "With our Royal Guard, there is no dangerous place in the empire, if you are worried about your current situation, you can find a place to take refuge first......

"No, no, absolutely not."

Shaking his hand in a hurry, the marquis turned his panic into a disguised smile: "I'm just worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness has any accidents, the lords of these places can't afford it." ”

"Your Royal Highness doesn't need your concern for the safety of the Prince." The knight captain replied with a blank face: "Although you are the guardians and protectors of this place, we are not going to tell you the specific whereabouts and route plan of His Royal Highness the Prince, you just need to be vigilant and then maintain the security of this place." ”

"In terms of public security, we have been on increased vigilance recently." The sweat on the marquis's face began to flow down gradually: "I can ask Han Gu to explain the specific situation to you......"

"No, we don't need such a report."

Waving his hand, the knight captain, who did not continue to pay attention to the other party's words, then turned around and walked towards the path from which he came: "In the name of the Imperial Royal Guard, we now need to take over the garrison of this city, and we hope to have the cooperation of Your Excellency and the strong support of the Romria family. ”

"It won't be long, and it will probably last until the convoy of imperial nobles returns safely." Ignoring the sluggish look on Lord Romria's face, his footsteps stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion: "We won't interfere in the rest of the matter, so ......"

"Annihilation in all directions."

He turned and nodded to one of the player knights who had been stuck at the end, dressed in armor, "You just stay here." ”

"Let's be in charge of handing over and liaising with them."

*************************

"What, martial law again?"

With the passage of time, the sunset of the empire fell again on the gray city bricks at the south gate of Tanzania City, gradually paving a layer of golden light on the passers-by, but judging from the expressions on the faces of this group of players who were blocked at the door like Duan Qing, they didn't have any intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery now: "Didn't you just implement some levels of alert?" Isn't that level of martial law enough? ”

"This is the order of the Marquis, anyone who enters or leaves this city must be questioned by the Imperial military - especially you adventurers!"

"Risk, what's wrong with the adventurer? The adventurers didn't steal the city's food......"

"Less nonsense! Go over there and line up! If you don't finish the questioning, don't even think about going in! ”

“…… So what the hell are you guys up to? ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Duan Qing, who was also blocked outside the city, looked around at the defense line of the large group of imperial soldiers blocking the door of the city, and then, as if he couldn't stand the noise here, he turned around and approached a certain soldier captain standing in the corner: "Discriminate against the adventurers of our empire?" ”

"We can't do anything about the order that was just given at noon today."

Locke, who pulled the brim of his hat and drove away several players around him who were also shouting and protesting, then reluctantly took off his helmet: "That stupid Lord Lord can not listen to what he says, but ......"

"But what?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows curiously: "Is there something new going on?" ”

“…… I'm not obligated to tell you. Looking at the face of the gray-robed magician in front of him with a serious gaze, Locke then made a wave of his hand to drive people away: "Go, go, if there are no other problems, you can also hurry up and line up for me." ”

"What about your henchman named John? Why didn't he come here? ”

Instead of leaving this place immediately like the players who were driven away before, Duan Qing, who was pulling the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, turned around here and made a lookout gesture: "Did you secretly go to the 'Wind Eagle' and drink too much wine again?" ”

"How do you know?" Locke, who was standing there like an iron tower, turned his head when he heard the voice: "He didn't return to the team yesterday, and I was looking for him this morning......"

"The guy you sent to spy on me is very dedicated, but unfortunately the weakness is too obvious." Duan Qing showed a weird smile: "Just a few good cocktails, he left it on the bar of the tavern by himself......"

"Damn, that bastard." So Locke gritted his teeth hard: "It's all like that, but the old problem of alcoholism still hasn't changed...... Wrong. ”

"He simply can't afford that weird-tasting cocktail." The captain of the garrison in charge of guarding the city suddenly turned around: "Is it your ghost?" ”

"I just complied with the man's request." Duan Qing put on an innocent expression: "I have a need, and he has a return—isn't this a fair deal?" ”

"It's you."

Ignoring the distant glances of the Imperial soldiers and players who organized the defense line around him, Locke, who was twisting his fists, walked in front of Duan Qing in two steps: "It's better to tell everything you know and want to do, otherwise it's ......"

"We didn't do anything." Duan Qing, who stopped the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice behind him, shouted loudly, "We only went to the Violet Tower once yesterday, and then we hunted outside today. ”

"The Violet Tower? What do you go to that kind of place? ”

Several thoughts turned in his heart, and Locke, whose eyes were wide-eyed, slowly lowered the fist he had just raised: "Don't tell me that you went to that place to become a magician of the Mage Council, a mage of your level will not be looked down upon by those who think highly of themselves at all!" ”

"That's not wrong at all, that's how I got kicked out." Duan Qing muttered unhappily, "Not only that, but I was almost charged with exploding......

"What? The magical storm in Robert's Town is also related to you? The big fan-like hand quickly clasped Duan Qing's shoulder, and the warrior who took off the helmet gradually showed a shocked look on his face: "You guy...... How many misfortunes have you done on this day? You only got into the city safely by staring at my name, if I found out that you were one of those restorationists—"

Syllable.

A loud page tremor then appeared in the air between the gray-robed magician and the imperial soldier, interrupting all the doubts from Locke and the eyes that were gradually attracting from him, Duan Qing, who had not made a resistance move, then slowly pressed back the white-haired woman who secretly wanted to lift the sword, and at the same time brought the scroll raised in his hand a little closer to the other party: "This is the entrusted task that the Adventurers Association has just issued to us, As evidenced by the foul-mannered mission communicator in the lobby of the Adventurers' Guild and a group of adventurers in the hall, my companion and I have now stripped twenty-eight wolf skins of steppe wolves, and are about to return to the city to hand them over to the old man named Yug. ”

"This is a normal risk, and even the Imperial military has no right to stop it." Looking directly at each other with the eyes under Locke's tall silhouette, Duan Qing continued to declare without changing his face: "Or rather...... Do you intend to compensate us for the damage caused by our delay in fulfilling the requirements of our mandate? ”

"You...... I'm doing my job now, too! Warrior Locke replied eloquently, "We now suspect that you are the suspect we need to question!" The offences are...... Uh......"

“…… What is the charge? ”

As if seeing the other party's difficulties, the corners of Duan Qing's mouth slowly pulled upward: "Is there anything you can't say?" ”

"You, don't talk nonsense!" Locke, the warrior, shouted loudly, "Me and John...... Belch...... We ......"

“…… Well? ”

“…… I see, I see. ”

Looking at the glint in Duan Qing's eyes, the burly warrior gradually put down the hands that he had just wanted to draw his sword, and then turned around with a sigh in the eyes of countless people around him who were inadvertently looking at him: "A deal, huh?" ”

"Come with me." He pushed away the man-made line of his own soldiers, and then walked towards the shadows on the side of the wall: "What are you interested in......"

"There's nothing you can't say."
