This is also the information that Brando knows: "What about the others, will they trouble us?" I can't trust the mercenaries out there. ”

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured that there are very few people going north to the forest, and most of the mercenaries who pass by here are actually going to Lantoniland."

Brando nodded, at least so far the fellow hadn't lied, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about the merchants, isn't there supposed to be a furrier going into the forest to collect the hunters at this time?" Won't they mercenaries enter? ”

"Your Excellency knows it in detail," the innkeeper said with a few fine beads of sweat on his bald head, "but there are still very few people at this time, so there is no need to worry." Moreover, most of them are businessmen who keep their duty. ”

A businessman who keeps his duty. If there are still businessmen who keep their duty, Brando is probably the only one who is Miss Roman next to him. Most of the people who walk the territory of Eruin are armed merchants, who are more or less dirty in their hands.

But he didn't mention it, just replied, "I know, but I don't want to listen to your estimates." All you have to do is tell me which caravans have recently entered the forest and how I can avoid them. ”

He paused: "Also, the merchant ships that have recently entered and left the port have also helped me get a record." I know that at your hotel, there will be these records. ”

"Yes," replied the innkeeper, wiping the oil from his bald head, sweating profusely, "I understand, sir, and I'll bring it to you at once." ”

……

Brando had apparently succeeded in convincing the 'bald' that they were a group of generous nobles who had come out to hunt the rare prey, the 'White Stag', and with this in mind, it was natural that there would be no disadvantage in getting things done. In less than half an hour, he had asked most of what had happened in Repulse and the surrounding area in the recent past.

These things range from trivial matters such as neighborhood conflicts to which ships have left port in the near future. I asked him about it.

I have to say that the hotel is worthy of being crowded. Where the news was distributed, the seemingly unattractive 'bald' knew something that both Firas and Laurena couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard it, but Brando was a little funny, and in his opinion, some rumors could only deceive such a rookie who was going out for the first time.

He flipped through the oil-stained notebook he took from his boss. Then put it aside, the literacy rate in Eruin is still not high in this day and age, and most of the innkeepers have their own set of markings to record some important things. But that didn't bother Brando. He may not know much about shorthand in Faenzan, St. Osor, and some of the out-of-the-way places of Cruz, but when it comes to Eruin, he's all too familiar with it.

Under the admiring gaze of the innkeeper, he easily read the notes in the notebook, and then took the map scroll from his backpack and spread it out on the table. He didn't really care about the ships coming in and leaving the port, and even if Anlek was on one of them, he couldn't tell the difference—it was just a smoke bomb.

What he really cared about was the caravans that left Repulse Town.

There is also news of the infestation of beasts in recent times.

"What that guy said is true?" Firas seemed to have just smashed it, smashed it, and his mouth came back to his senses: "He said that someone saw the cat turn into a fish, is this possible?" ”

Brando had to look back from the map—he used a quill to mark the area where the herd had been infested in recent times—and turned back. Some looked at this guy like idiots: "Of course it can't be, there are a lot of rumors circulating in places like inns, but most of them are rumors." You want to find useful information in it. You'll have to use your own brain. ”

"I see. I didn't expect there to be such knowledge. Firas looked abruptly realised.

But his fiancée, Lorenna, apparently understood a little more, and she chewed on the phrase. "So what is the message we need, Lord Earl?" ”

Brando had to sigh in his heart when he heard this, and the flowers were inserted in the cow dung, this is worthy of being a genius girl of the Cruz people, and her reaction is really much faster than that of ordinary people. He put the map aside and picked up the wooden fork and flipped the grilled fish on his plate: "It's unlikely that the prey we're tracking will blatantly leave his whereabouts, but he will still leave clues, the innkeeper said before that some hunters entered the mountain early-"

"My lord, do you suspect that they were hired by Enlek as a guide?" Hearing this, the Silver Elf Princess put down her knife and fork, raised her head and asked softly.

"It's just a suspicion now." Brando replied, "As for whether it is true or not, we will have to wait a moment to find out." He used his fork to tear off a piece of meat from the so-called salt-baked salmon that looked like smoke, and the tough touch made him feel like he was cutting a piece of dragon skin, and then put it in his mouth, and the strong fishy smell made him frown and almost vomit it.

After getting used to eating exquisite food in the territory, I can't stand these poor cooking techniques outside. Still, he chewed twice as if he were chewing a rock, and swallowed it. When traveling abroad, you have to adapt to the difficult conditions, and you can't be healthy without supplementing your food, and Brando understands this.

However, he still had to sigh that people really went from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift. In the past, at the beginning of the game, he ate these garbage-like things, and it was okay for him to swallow them like healing potions, but now he can't stand it a little.

This is the so-called difference in mentality.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the others, Akane and Freya, who came from the countryside and lived a simple life, didn't seem to feel anything wrong with this kind of food, what they ate in the countryside of Chablis and Buchch might not be better than this, especially for Akane, it was not easy to eat a hot meal at a meal in the wild, usually only black bread as hard as a stone could satisfy her stomach.

However, Laurena and Filas were not, and although the table manners were not impeccable, the couple only tried the roast venison with a superficial taste, and then put down their knives and forks. On the other side, Medisa was more elegant, and the Silver Elf Princess ate a small snack of each dish as a sign of respect for her host, but each time it was less than the previous one. Then she gracefully put down her knife and fork, of course, as a Heroic Spirit, she didn't have to eat in the first place.

Charles sat indecently against his staff, an ordinary maple cane, and wisely drank only a few sips of fruit wine. Beside him, Hipamela was still praying with her hands folded before the meal, while the little prince stared at the roasted meat and the smelling goat's milk in front of him, and his face was bitter, as if he wanted to cry or not.

Only Brando's expression was deeply admired by Nymersis, and the female knight used a knife to separate the red beans from the fish soup according to the usual dining tradition, and then put the hard-to-swallow food into her mouth one by one, and ate it all as usual, without wasting a single penny.

The whole process was as standard as a precision machine, so that Brando couldn't help but look at it twice. Finally, she wiped her mouth with a white hand towel, put down her knife and fork, and nodded to the waiter next to her in thanks.

Brando's tears were about to fall—

And just when everyone was still struggling with this terrible lunch, a crisp voice interjected in a situation that no one expected.

At that time, Brando was examining a map of the Royal Geographical Society of Eruin, published in 357, at the northern end of the Forest of Anlather; But hearing this immature voice, he couldn't help but take his eyes off the map and look behind him while holding the fruit wine.

He saw a little girl.

She has long purple hair, a somewhat slender face, and large amethyst-like eyes that give it the feeling of a doll. She wore a very ornate long dress, but it was a little old, but it didn't look like a commoner's child. Especially the jewelry on the round scalp shoes, Brando could tell at a glance that they were genuine.

She stood there, like one of those little fairies in a fairy tale, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.

The little girl wrenched her hands and asked politely, "May you let me sit here for a while?" ”

She gestured to the empty seat beside Haruzer.

As soon as Laurena saw this little girl, she couldn't help but be overflowing with love, but because the owner of this place was still Brando, she could only do it there in a hurry. Fortunately, Freya seemed to sense her thoughts, and she asked in a somewhat soft tone, "Are you lost, little sister?" Would you like something to eat? ”

"No need, thank you," replied the little girl generously, "I am waiting for someone here, but one person is a little afraid, can I sit with you?" ”

Freya set her sights on Brando.

Brando, however, looked at His Royal Highness the Little Prince in front of him with some amusement. It turned out that he could see at a glance that Haruzer had been stunned from the moment the little girl appeared, but he barely glared out of his eyes.

"Haruzer, this little lady wants to sit next to you, do you agree?" When Brando said this, he had already carefully examined the little girl, and he had already noticed that the other party did not have any aura of power, but was just an ordinary person.

As if he hadn't heard, the little prince had been called twice by Brando before he reacted, and he let out an 'ah', and his face turned red for a moment. "When...... Of course. ”

"Thank you." The little girl saluted everyone immaturely, and as soon as Brando saw this etiquette, he understood that the other party was a nobleman, and he was not an ordinary nobleman. He glanced at Nimesis, and the female knight seemed to be looking at the little girl, but as he did, she didn't say anything.
