"Your chief wants to see us?"

The clerk looked up at their beast of burden and the huge platform, and there was some wonder in his expression. He nodded, "Yes, you're adventurers, aren't you?" Our chief has something to talk to you about. ”

Fang Yu turned his head and looked at the others. Luo Yu didn't speak, Parker and the box didn't matter, but the latter pressed the sword in one hand and was eager to try, obviously more interested in breaking through than seeing the other party's chief.

The big cat man on the side was taking out his pipe and wiping it, not taking the soldiers below seriously at all.

He looked at Sylvid again, and Miss Purser looked at him with a smile in her eyes, meaning that the captain had decided. Only Attila spoke, "Ed, this is the only way, maybe you can give it a try." Sky Blue and Kita also nodded when they heard this.

Fang Yu pondered for a moment and nodded. But instead of rushing to reply, he told the clerks below that they needed to discuss it before they could decide. The other party was reasonable, expressed understanding of their decision, and replied that there was no need to hurry, he could wait for them to make a decision.

Fang Yu turned back from the side of the boat. But of course, it wasn't for discussion, he released three clockwork goblins 'buzzing' suspended in mid-air at once—then looked at Luo Yu not far away, and asked, "Luo Yu, are there any spells at this level that can achieve the effect of stealth, or at least obscure vision." ”

Although the clockwork fairy is small, it is easy to see its golden appearance when it is released in the absence of visual obscuration in the daylight conditions of fine weather.

Although some people will paint the Clockwork Elf with gray tree paint, the tree paint is a magical insulator, which greatly affects the transmission of mana, and the Clockwork Elf needs to be replaced with a larger Resonance Crystal to connect with the Magic Furnace's Hub Crystal.

Fang Yu is not so wealthy.

When Luo Yu heard this, the staff in his hand lit up, and an empty crystal appeared in his hand, and he thought for a moment and replied: "The refraction technique may be able to do it, but the refraction technique is not really invisible after all, and it is still easy to find when you get close." ”

"What's the stat?"

"Within 10 meters, if there is no other shelter or interference, it is easy to detect if you perceive more than 40-"

"Ten meters away?"

"It's about 50 percent more every 10 meters."

Fang Yu estimated it and felt that it should be about the same, so he nodded: "Cast a spell." ”

Luo Yu closed his eyes, and the three golden textures on the magic wand flashed, converging the turquoise water elemental magic into the empty crystal, and the process was very fast, but only a second or two. He threw the crystal forward when it glowed, and the crystal vanished in a twisted light, and the clockwork elf became translucent in the light.

Sophie watched this scene from the side, her eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Luo Yu on the side.

And Fang Yu had already raised his hand and released the translucent clockwork goblin, and no one noticed it during the whole process. He pulled down his goggles, and then told the clerk below that he needed to take a few people with him.

The Registrar nodded in agreement.

"Trouble Miss Atila with me," Fang Yu looked at Sophie again, "Miss Sophie is coming?" ”

Attila and Sophie both nodded.

The three of them climbed down the rope ladder in turn, and the lumberjacks below were far from approaching, except for Lady Quisu who came to them separately and asked what had happened.

Fang Yu shook his head at her, indicating that it was no big deal. The clerk glanced at Lady Quesu and led the group to Fort Tulip, and at his signal, the soldiers put away their spears and stood on their sides, looking at them only with wary eyes.

Fang Yu noticed that these soldiers were very well-armed, not like they were in disrepair, and quietly scanned the system and found that most of these soldiers were around level ten.

According to the information, the lower level of the Dulun City Guard's recruitment of soldiers is at level six to seven, and level ten or so is already considered elite, and he glanced at the two heavy cavalry on the side of the road, and the system showed that it was??? Level.

？？？ The level does not necessarily exceed him too much, because there are no warning signs, or it may be that the information is incomplete, or the knowledge and experience are insufficient, resulting in the inability to analyze. After all, analyzing the strength of humanoid creatures requires a wealth of knowledge and experience, which is much more difficult than ordinary creatures, but the level of these two heavy cavalry should be at least about the same as him.

Captain Knights, he thought to himself.

This will definitely not be the original garrison of Fort Tulip, at least the gap between the old, weak, sick and disabled as he imagined, either the defense has been replaced in the recent period, or additional personnel have been assigned.

The crowd had reached the bottom of the tulip castle, and the clerk waved his hand at the battlements, and the guards above pulled up the gates and lowered the drawbridge. The drawbridge creaked and fell, slamming into the ground with a thud and sending dust flying.

Fang Yu coughed twice and couldn't help but fan it with his hand. As the group passed through the city gates, he had the opportunity to ask the clerk this question: "I've been to this place a few times before, and it doesn't seem like this to Fort Tulip before?" ”

The clerk looked back at him and asked, "Don't you know?" ”

Fang Yu was stunned: "What do you know?" ”

The clerk seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he reacted and replied: "It's nothing, there is a little incident in the south, but it doesn't affect the side of Fort Yukin, it's just prepared." ”

A little thing happened in the South?

Where in the South? What's a little thing?

This thought flashed in Fang Yu's heart, but he didn't ask again, although he didn't have any emotional intelligence, he also understood that it would be unpleasant to ask again. However, the other party's words at least told him a few things.

He said that he had been to this place a few times before, which was of course nonsense, he had never been to the main continent of Kaolin before, let alone the small place of Fort Tulip. However, the clerk did not seem to have any suspicion of this, at least it showed that the other party was also unfamiliar with the place.

Then it is obviously a bit untenable to say that the additional manpower is a bit untenable, and it is only possible that Fort Turgeon has changed its defense, and a group of manpower has been changed from top to bottom. And the commander they were going to see was obviously not the old knight who was easy to talk.

Sophie apparently guessed his thoughts in the back, sending him an appreciative look on the communication channel.

She thought of something and sighed again, "Seriously, if only you could join Silver Vislan." ”

"That elemental envoy was also a good seedling, and that box - I heard that even Odin was full of praise for him, where did you pick up these talents?"

Fang Yu thought to himself, you haven't noticed Kita, Miss Naturalist is a real little genius, she performed quite well in the battle of Aymao Castle, and she is not at all like the Elector who participated in the adventure for the first time.

And Alyssa, as a member of the brigade of the rain listeners, is also above the average level.

"He's from Tapolis, and we've made an agreement with Tapolis, Miss Sophie."

"I know about it."

Sophie rolled his eyes.

Fang Yu had never felt for a moment that the name Tapolis was so useful, and even the round face of Lady Yugudora seemed to become kind in his memory.

But Sophie said, "I've heard of that guild, freedom is freedom, but now it's also in trouble, you better be careful......"

"In trouble?" Fang Yu was stunned, he hadn't heard of this yet, there was no news from Jita and Luo Yu's side, and Yugudora didn't seem to have informed them of anything.

"After the Second Covenant Hill Incident, . . . The M Alliance has begun to work on regulating the Free Guilds, I don't know if you've heard anything about it......? ”

. The name M League, not the Super Athletic League - Silver Vislan was originally a branch of the Rose Crusaders, and as such belonged to the Rainbow League, along with the descendants of its nemesis, Flor. The political legacy of M.

However, it has long been rumored that because of the first and second covenant mountain incidents, there has been a rift between the concepts of Silver Vislan, the Rainbow Alliance, and the Descendants of Flore. M means parting ways.

In retrospect, it seems that this is true.

And what Sophie said Fang Yu did hear about it, and asked rhetorically: "You mean that the Super Athletic League requires all guilds to have roots in the real world in a new regulation?" ”

Sophie nodded.

Fang Yu knew that the cause of this incident was actually related to the mysterious disappearance of the Dragon Fire Guild and the Rain Listener, and it was for this reason that the Super Athletic Alliance launched this initiative to all guild organizations.

And gradually the initiative was translated into new rules and regulations.

However, as a witness of these two events, he didn't feel anything wrong at first, and even felt that it was very reasonable. After all, the Dragon Fire Guild colluded with the Rain Listeners and the Dragon Worship Sect, and the harm caused was real.

But Sophie shook her head: "You're naïve, Ed, neither the Dragonfire Guild nor the Rainlistener are free guilds. M propaganda needs to confuse the public, what does this matter have to do with the Free Guild? ”

She didn't say this in the communication channel, but directly whispered.

Fang Yu couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard this, realizing that it seemed to be the case. M doesn't mention this at all, giving the illusion that it's easier for a free guild to do something like this.

He scratched his head, realizing that he was still too superficial in his thinking, but that was why the matter itself had nothing to do with him. He couldn't help asking, "But what does this matter have to do with the troubles of Tapolis?" ”

Fang Yu knew that although Tapolis was a free guild, it was not a small guild, and it was not difficult to establish it in the real world.

Sophie entered: "The relationship lies in the fact that this matter has caused disagreement within Tapolis, and some of the guild's high-ranking members think that since the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is better to take the opportunity to attract some external investment to expand Tapolis's influence and make it one of the first and second tier guilds in one fell swoop." ”

"But the main managers of the guild are opposed to this view, because it is contrary to the original purpose of the establishment of Tapolis, and if outside money is allowed to enter, then how is Tapolis different from those commercial clubs?"

"The division between the two sides is already very serious, and there is a lot of internal strife, and even because of this incident, the main elite group of Tapolis has basically received orders to return to its headquarters in Gula Harbor—"

She turned around and glanced at him, "Do you think this counts as trouble?" ”

Only then did Fang Yu understand why Momiji and Eugudora's side had never been able to get in touch, it seemed that it was because of internal reasons in Tapolis - he actually had some curiosity in his heart, which side did Eugudora and others support?

However, the other party has kept his promise at least so far, and it has not affected Jita and Luo Yu in the slightest.

There was a brief conversation between the two, and the clerk had led them with Miss Elf into the tulip castle, up a spiral staircase, and then stood in front of a door on the second floor of the castle.

Naturally, there were soldiers guarding the door, and the clerk only nodded to the soldiers, then turned back to them and said, "The chief is inside." ”

He pushed the door open, and Fang Yu looked up to see that there was a small office inside.

Because of its defensive structure, the fort was nowhere near as spacious and luxurious as the inside of the castle - at least it was now, with thick stone walls, narrow walkways, and dimly lit windows.

But the exception in this room, which was slightly decorated, at least a fur of an unknown animal was laid on the floor, and two swords, a shield, and a specimen of a deer's head hung on the wall.

The 'sir' in the scribe's mouth was indeed not an old knight on top of the information, but a middle-aged man who was a little wealthy, and the other party wore a mink robe, a soft hat decorated with long feathers, and was not dressed in military uniform, a noble dress.

Knowing that they were adventurers, the other party showed a very enthusiastic appearance and came up to greet them.

"It's a little nobleman."

Sophie stared at the feathers on the man's hat, and quietly reminded Fang Yu of the other party's identity—the baron with the feathers on his head, which was what Aitalia called such people.

Most of these people are noble knights, which is consistent with their status here, but they can hold important positions in the city guards, and they should obviously belong to some well-known family behind them.

Of course, Fang Yu knew that Dulun's city guards were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, judging from the elite of the soldiers outside, this one obviously had an extraordinary origin, which explained the identity of the other party from the side.

He asked Sophie to come with him, and it was to get this information, and Miss Attila was not familiar with the human world, and he was not very aware of these details. Although there is a Sylvid in the team who knows more about the knowledge of the nobility, considering her status at the moment, it is still the princess of the silver Vislan who is more suitable.

The elector naturally lacked reverence for the aboriginal nobles, but after all, this was a military camp, not to mention that the other party was quite enthusiastic, so Fang Yu also saluted the other party with the etiquette of the aborigines.

But the other party shook their hands instead - the natives were keen on the etiquette of the earth, and the Electors imitated the natives everywhere, which was also a sight for Aitalia.

After shaking hands, the baron gentleman also got to the point: "I heard that you plan to go to Dulun?" ”

Fang Yu nodded.

The baron touched the short beard on his chin and muttered, "Theoretically, the consul gave the order to block the road, and I shouldn't have let you go. ”

"But there are no exceptions, if you can help us......"

Because he had suffered a loss in Goland, Fang Yu took the initiative to abdicate in this kind of negotiation. He glanced at Attila, and Miss Elf said, "What is the matter?" ”

The baron looked at Miss Elf's pointed ears with some curiosity, although it was a little rude—but in the main continent of Kaulin, both the Evan Quinn Elves and the Forest Elves were very rare.

Then he shook his head: "No, it's not my personal business......"

"Exactly...... You're helping the Dulun City Guards, so that's why I can make an exception for you......"

Then he talked about it: "That's right, not long ago, a team we sent to the direction of the Ash Mountain Forest was about half a month ago, and they have not heard from it since they went to that place......"

"So you want us to help you find someone?" Sophie suddenly interjected.

The baron nodded.

She asked rhetorically, "Can't your soldiers do such a simple thing for you?" ”

"Well......" the baron looked a little hesitant: "You have also seen, this is an order from above, we have to be stationed in this place, and there are far from enough manpower......"

Fang Yu couldn't see this at all, and there were obviously plenty of people here.

Attila also frowned: "Then you can ask why that team went to the Ash Mountain Forest, as we all know, ordinary people don't go to that place." ”

"Well...... this"

"Sir, adventurers need to be aware of their mission, and you should know that. Otherwise, no matter how big the benefits are, we won't take on the task easily-"

The baron looked a little hesitant and took two steps back and forth.

But he finally made up his mind, turned around and nodded, "Okay, in fact, the reason is very simple, it's to find something."

"Something?"

"It's an order from above, and I don't know the specifics...... It seems to be looking for a red stone......"

Attila thought for a moment: "Our task is only to find people, we don't need to find those stones, right?" ”

"Of course, of course," cried the baron, "if you can help me find their whereabouts, you will do me a great favor!" ”

Attila nodded, then looked at Fang Ou.

Fang Yuan's side has actually appeared in the system of the task prompt, the difficulty is not high, but the D-level task is beyond the scope of finding people - he thinks that it may be because of the destination, the ash mountain forest has always been dangerous in rumors, as the fall of Nicol Bolas, there is a certain bonus to the difficulty of the task itself.

However, they were also going to the Ash Forest, so it wasn't a problem.

He subconsciously wanted to agree, but suddenly, as if blessed to his soul, the ghost asked back: "Do you want to go to the ashes mountain forest, I heard that the place is ......?" ”

"Of course, of course......" The baron seemed to be afraid that he would not agree—he had probably sought out many adventurers these days, but all of them had been rejected one by one, and he knew in his heart what the place of the Ash Mountains and Forests was.

He said cautiously, "Letting you clear the level is just incidental...... You can treat this as a normal mission, and I can pay you separately......"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, he just wanted a map when he said that he said before, because the information said that the Dulun City Guards had a detailed map of the area around the Ash Mountain and Forest. But I didn't expect that I hesitated, and the other party actually increased the price.

It was a bonus.

So he never mentioned the map again, because he was afraid that the other party would regret it, so he just nodded quietly.

He turned around and was about to ask Attila to draw up an adventurer's contract, but suddenly he frowned again, turned around again, and said, "Wait a minute, I have one more request—"

"One more request?" The baron then showed a look of dissatisfaction, and felt that these people seemed to be a little greedy, and he felt that the conditions he had given were already very lenient.

However, Fang Yu shook his head: "It's nothing else, it's just that there are certain requirements for the way of the contract." ”

"Oh?" The other party's brows were relaxed: "What request?" ”

"That's right...... We went to Dulun because we had a mission at hand and we didn't have a lot of time. In fact, if you want to complete your task, the deadline is even more urgent. Fang Yu suddenly found that he had learned a little, and he didn't even blush and his heart didn't beat when he told lies.

He didn't know whether this was good or bad for a while, so he continued: "So I hope this contract can be done in the form of a remote contract." ”

"Remote Contract?" The baron was stunned.

He seemed a little hesitant, "Of course, the remote contract is not impossible, but Lord Roman is not so easy to talk to...... "The remote contract is naturally one of the 'business means' of the goddess of business, which means that under her witness, the entrusting party first hands over the remuneration to her divine power for safekeeping, and after the task is completed, it is automatically transferred to the entrusted side.

However, due to the use of divine power, Ms. Roman's commission is naturally very expensive, so there is rarely such a contract between ordinary adventurers.

However, Fang Yu rarely cared about this loss, shook his head and said, "It's okay, we will bear the handling fee." ”

The baron didn't seem to be able to find any reason to refute it for a while, so he could only agree: "In that case...... Alright then, that's it. But if those people are still alive, you must at least send them to safety. ”

"Of course, if it's dead......" he paused, "I also need some proof to prove it." ”

"Yes," Fang Yu agreed very cheerfully, "Don't worry, Mr. Sir—the scales are above, and Madam Roman will guarantee your rights and interests." ”

"The scales are up." The baron nodded.

So the two parties drew up the contract in the presence of Lady Roman, and stamped it with the heraldic wax seal of the goddess of commerce, and put it away in duplicate for each person. Fang Yu said goodbye to the other party and left Fort Turquoise under the leadership of the clerk.

The three of them walked out of the city gate and walked across the drawbridge, and when the clerk turned back, Attila whispered, "Ed, we are not in such a hurry. ”

"I know, Miss Attila." Fang Yu replied.

Sophie clearly understood what he meant: "So you changed your tune before, right?" Remote contracts are rare, and the goddess takes a third, even among the aborigines, it is rare to use this kind of contract between them......"

"Did you find anything, Ed?" Attila also asked at this time.

Fang Yu glanced at Yujin Bao behind him, shook his head slightly, and only used his eyes to signal that this issue would be discussed later.

Naturally, he saw something, and it was related to them.
