West City Gate.

On both sides of the huge city gate were hundreds of soldiers in black armor.

They were all soldiers of the First Legion, but they were much more elite than the guards stationed outside the city. The checks on the side of the gate were stricter than on the outside, but Baal had the status of a viscount and could easily enter it.

"It is worthy of being the imperial capital, and it is really prosperous." Baal looked around, and the streets of the city were extremely wide, flanked by a succession of tall buildings, many of which were huge, more than hundreds of meters, towering into the sky.

The streets are crowded with pedestrians, many of whom come from rare races.

Some were clad in scaly armor like him, and some had wings on their backs. Some are from the elemental race, burning flames and entwining with water. The short ones are only a few tens of centimeters, and some are taller than him, and there are a few of them in the tens or twenty meters.

"When you get here, how can you feel that you are a normal person." Barr smiled and stepped forward. Brown Street is not far to the left of the West City Gate, and the Void Floater has found the headquarters of the North Wind Mercenary Regiment.

Not for a while.

He hurried to Brown Street.

It is not a commercial area, and there are far fewer pedestrians on the streets. Soon, he saw an inconspicuous courtyard in the north corner of the street, with the flags of the North Wind Mercenary Regiment hanging on both sides of the courtyard gate.

Walk to the door.

Knock knock.

Barr lowered himself and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened. A minotaur girl wearing silver-gray half-body armor and a long sword hanging from her waist walked out, looked up at Baal, and asked, "Hello, may I ask you to come to us, is there anything wrong?" ”

The girl was a little confused.

The strange man in front of him, just by looking at his size, he knows that his strength is extraordinary. The equipment on his body is also very exquisite, he is not an ordinary person, he is definitely a big man with super strength, how could he come to a small mercenary group like them.

Seeing the emblem on Baal's chest, the girl's heart moved, "Noble, Viscount of the Empire." ”

"Hello, I'm here to find someone." Barr smiled.

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? The girl asked.

"I'm looking for a little minotaur named Dugu." Barr said.

"Dugu? Oh, I remember," said the girl, "isn't it the deputy head of Bird, who brought back the little boy a few days ago?" By the way, who are you? ”

"I, I'm his friend." Barr laughed.

"Friends?" The girl's face was surprised.

"When you see him, won't you know?" Barr said casually.

"Okay, then you can come to me, he is in the practice field in the backyard, with the deputy commander." The girl turned and walked away. Barr looked at the low courtyard door, shook his head, and jumped into the courtyard. The girl glanced back, and walked on, followed by Baal.

......

Backyard, in a small driving range.

Smack, smack.

A small minotaur boy was holding a wooden sword, slashing the wooden man in front of him. Not far away, a tall middle-aged minotaur with rough facial features was smiling and watching.

"Deputy Commander, there's a strange person coming to find Dugu." The minotaur girl walked into the backyard and shouted as she watched Bird.

Bang, Barr's tall figure fell from the sky, landed on the side of the training ground, turned his head and smiled, "My name is Barr, and I'm a minotaur like you, but I'm not a weirdo." ”

"You're a minotaur?" The Minotaur girl looked incredulous, raised her hand and pointed at Bal, "Deputy Commander, it's him." ”

"Excuse me, who are you?" Bird also walked over in confusion.

"Ten days ago, I handed Dugu over to Meade's care." Barr smiled and looked at Bird, a second-order elite giant swordsman, whose strength was not bad, "I heard Meade say that he came to you, so he came over to take a look." ”

"I've seen my lord." Bird hurriedly saluted, he was friends with old Meade, so he naturally knew Baal's identity.

"He's not just a viscount, he's a lord." The minotaur girl on the side was also surprised.

"My lord, you came here today, you should have come to take Dugu away, right?" Bird's eyes showed a bit of gloom, since the death of his son, his wife died soon after the grief, for more than ten years, he has been alone.

Until a few days ago.

He met Dugu, who was very similar to his son when he was a child, and his heart was originally numb, but he had a warm feeling. However, he also knew that the minotaur in front of him was not only powerful, but also a lord, even if he wanted Dugu to stay, he was afraid that he could not do anything.

"Uncle Barr, why are you different from before?" Dugu also put down the wooden sword in his hand, ran over happily, and looked up at the tall and much taller Baal.

"You're not entirely right." Barr looked at the little minotaur at his feet and asked with a smile, "Little ghost, are you willing to go with me, or are you willing to live with this uncle in the future?" ”

"Your Excellency, you." Bird's face was also a little happy, and he looked at Dugu next to him lovingly.

Dugu looked at Barr, then at Bird next to him, and after a while, he hesitantly walked to Bird's side and whispered, "Uncle Barr, I, I like Uncle Bird very much." Bird also looked at it with a smile.

"Looks like it's time for me to leave." Barr smiled.

"Thank you, lord, I will definitely take good care of Dugu." Bird said gratefully.

"If you have a chance in the future, you can come to Hailan Town to find me, I'm leaving." Barr leapt and disappeared into the courtyard.

.......

on the streets of the east of the city.

"Maybe this should be the best choice for Dugu." As Barr walked, he could tell that Bird really liked little Dugu.

According to what he heard along the way.

The armies of the Empire and the Saudis had a large-scale clash in Quicksand Road a few days ago, and the war was on the verge of breaking out. The border will soon become a land of right and wrong, and Hailan Town may not be able to stay out of it.

......

Beicheng District, Teleportation Array.

After paying for the teleportation between him and the "two" of the Source Earth Elves, Baal stepped onto the teleportation array to Marina City, and disappeared without a trace in a flash of white light.

......

Night, Sea Blue Town Chamber.

"I'm back." Barr looked at the familiar hall in front of him, and his heart was relieved, and he sat down on the top seat. Fortunately, the council hall is a system building, very wide and tall, otherwise, with his current size, I am afraid that he will have to rebuild a house to live in.

Whew~~~

The Void floats out one after another.

Not much.

"Your Excellency, you're back." John walked in briskly from the outside with a happy face. Not long ago, when he saw a few void floaters suddenly appear, he knew that it was his own adults who had returned, and hurriedly rushed over.

Looking at Barr's appearance at this time, John was also a little surprised: "Your changes this time are not small." ”

"Well, there's something to be gained in the Fifth Courtyard." After Barr finished speaking, he looked at John and said, "I rushed back on the way, but I heard that there was some unevenness on the other side of the border. In the past few days since I left, apart from the Empire and the Saud, have the other three human kingdoms made any moves? ”

"This is the information we have gotten, and you will know it when you see it." John pulled out a document, stepped forward, and placed it on the table.

Brush brush brush.

Bal flipped through the information in his hand, his expression was a little puzzled, "Except for a few legions of the Shaudi and the Tiger Clan, not to mention the other three human kingdoms, even the Minotaur and Lion Man of the Empire, there is no movement at all, which is too strange." ”

"I think it's weird too." John also said, "Now that the conflict between the empire and the Saudis is getting more and more intense, even if the war does not break out, the major forces should be prepared, how can there be no movement at all." ”

"If there is no action, I'm afraid it's the biggest action." Barr's brow furrowed slightly.

It's calm outside, and it's just two situations. One possibility is that countries really didn't take this border conflict to heart; Another possibility is that all countries have mobilized all their resources and blocked intelligence, and once they do, I am afraid that it will be a big move.

"You don't have to worry too much if you continue to send people to keep an eye on it." Barr said calmly, "Even if something happens at the border, it won't burn on our side for a while." ”

Moment.

Lilith and the others also rushed over one after another, but they didn't see Bart and Pippen.

After asking, it turned out that the two of them led the team into the Blackstone Mountains again a few days ago to clear the monsters, and they haven't come back yet. Previously, he had bought hundreds of kilometers of land in the Blackstone Mountains, and there were many veins in it. But if you want to mine, you still have to kill all the monsters inside first, otherwise it's too dangerous.

Several people talked about it until late at night.

......

And at this time, the Royal Palace of Larcana.

Side hall.

"Fadi, is there any news?" Empress of the Empire, Belinda, sat in the chair at the top with a calm face. Below stood a middle-aged lion man in leather armor and carrying a longbow.

"Your Highness, there is no news yet." The middle-aged lion man said tremblingly, not even daring to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Check for me, no one who enters the fifth courtyard this time will be spared. If you still can't find any news, you don't have to come back to see me. Belinda's voice was soft, but the middle-aged could feel the chill in it.

"I'll go right away." The middle-aged lion man hurriedly turned around and left.

Bang!!!

As soon as he walked out of the door, a loud noise came from behind him. The middle-aged lion man turned his head slightly, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw that the precious rue wood seat in the hall was already shattered. Hurriedly retracted his gaze, and his steps were a little faster.
