Chapter 123
Discontent with the Dock Brotherhood is growing on the docks, and throughout Ward Harbor. In the streets and alleys, there are rumors that are not good for the Dock Brotherhood.
"Did you hear that there is a split within the Dock Brotherhood!" At the market, a few vendors are whispering.
"Split? What's going on? Another vendor looked curious and spread the rumors, but they were happy to do it.
"Does Stendhal know?"
"You know, the owner of the Chuncao Tavern, I heard that he is not a giant of the Dock Brotherhood?"
"Yes, it's him, he organized the assassination of the other two giants of the Brotherhood, and he is about to attack their leading big brother!"
"Really? What is he trying to do? ”
"What can you figure out? Power and money! If you are replaced, do you want to be the second-in-command or the first-in-command? ”
"Makes sense. Who do you listen to? Really? ”
"Then can there be a fake? I heard from my second aunt's brother-in-law that he was in the dock brotherhood! ”
"But I heard, aren't they the two giants killed by an outsider?" A third peddler joins the conversation.
"Outsiders? Outsiders are idle, what are they doing! Believe me, it's Stendhal who did it! "The first vendor patted his chest and packed the ticket.
Ma Lan listened to a paragraph next to him, and nodded secretly in his heart, who else can guide these public opinions? There was no one else except Ma Lan, and he let his subordinates spread rumors, which seemed to have achieved certain results.
Naturally, these rumors also reached Camero's ears. Carmelo returned home, knowing in his heart that it was Malan who was going to do it. Carmelo called Snolan and told him to prepare, and the decisive moment was not far off.
"Mr. Carmelo, do we have anything else to prepare?" Snorlan asked Carmelo.
"You and Leslie's weapons and equipment must be well maintained, keep your body in good shape for the past two days, pay attention to rest, and make sure that you are in the best condition to face the battle. Tell Theresa that she can prepare some scrolls, items, and various spellcasting materials for the battle. Carmelo said as he thought.
Snorlan nodded, jot them down one by one.
"Oh, also, this is the floor plan of the leading brother's house, you pay attention to it, do it in your heart, and you and Ma Lan have to discuss the specific strategy."
Snorlan took the drawing, unfolded it and looked at it, it was the same as the one Malan had shown them.
"You go, get ready, when it's over, we'll leave Port Ward, I, Alkavon, and Vizel are going to the Elven Empire, you think about whether to go with us or where to go."
Snorlan nodded, it was time to think about it. He put away the drawings, left Carmelo's bedroom, and knocked on Theresa's door.
"Please come in." Theresa's voice came from inside the room.
Snorlan twisted the doorknob, pushed it open, and entered Theresa's bedroom.
"Big Brother Snowlan! What are you doing here? Theresa couldn't help but smile when she saw Snorlan coming.
"Oh, it's nothing, just look at you." Snorlan closed the door and sat down in his chair and smiled.
"Brother Snowlan, it's okay for you to come to me." Theresa pouted and rolled her eyes.
Snorlan was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, during this time he focused on training and studying strategy and tactics, and he was indeed a little negligent with Theresa.
"Okay, okay, Theresa, it's really my fault, I'm not afraid of disturbing your study, by the way, Theresa, Teacher Nina isn't here, how are you?" Snorlan said with a sneer.
"Teacher Nina has given me all the books I can use, these books are enough for me to see the silver level, don't worry about me, speaking of which, Brother Snorlan, what is the matter with you looking for me?" Theresa said seriously.
Snorlan also got serious and said, "According to my estimate, our plan is almost about to start, and we should be ready in the next two days." ”
Theresa nodded and asked, "Okay, I'll prepare some scrolls and the materials I need." ”
Snorlan nodded and said, "There's another question, where should the two of us go when we're done?" Ward Harbour is not able to stay. ”
Theresa was also stunned when she heard this question, but she didn't think about it, she asked, "Brother Snorlan, where are they going, Mr. Carmelo?" ”
"Teacher Carmelo, they're going to the Elven Empire. Shall we follow? ”
Theresa thought for a while and said: "Teacher Carmelo is against the rulers of the Elven Empire in the Elven Empire, the rulers of the Elven Empire are too powerful, I heard that they have at least thirty legendary ** divisions, we go, I'm afraid it won't help Teacher Carmelo in any way, and it will become a drag on them." I think that we can only help them when we go further in strength, at least to the gold level. ”
As he listened, Snorlan thought that there was some truth in what Theresa had said, and he asked, "Then Theresa, where should we go according to your thoughts?" ”
Theresa thought for a moment and said, "If we go to the Duchy of Margellor, we will have to cross the entire Roe Empire, and we will also have to pass through the Misty Swamp, which is a long way and dangerous; If we go to the Duchy of Riosda, the distance is even farther, the climate is too cold, and the products are not abundant, and it is difficult for us to get enough resources to support our development - whether it is the training of warriors or the study of magic, it is very expensive. ”
Snorlan nodded, what Teresa said was also what he thought, he can now eat the amount of a normal person's meal for a day or two, not counting the equipment used to assist training and the magic potion used to nourish the body, the money for the meal alone is a lot of money; Theresa can't learn magic by herself, she has to find a teacher to teach her, which is a lot of money, not to mention the expenses of spell casting materials, scrolls, etc.? Before they have enough money, going to a barren country is tantamount to limiting their own development.
"In this way, we have two choices: or continue to live in the Roe Empire, in a different place; Or we go to sea, to the Southern Trade Federation. ”
Snorlan thought about it, and both options would work. He also wanted to ask Theresa's opinion: "What do you say, Teresa?" ”
Theresa pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Snowland, in my opinion...... I still want us to go to the Southern Trade Federation. ”
"Why?" Snorlan asked curiously.
"Brother Snolan, I am the last bloodline of the Scygu people and the Schofield family after all, to be honest, I hope to have the opportunity to return to the Segou Empire in the future, and openly question my mother, Conriz Bonia, and stay in the Roe ......Empire."
Theresa didn't say anything, but Snorlan understood her thoughts, after all, staying in the Roe Empire for a long time, it might be true in the future, he nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go to the Southern Trade Federation." Once we've settled the Dock Brotherhood, we'll go with Elith and Anzu. ”
