"Uncle Daniel!" Seeing the middle-aged man pushing the door in, Barrett immediately gave the other party a warm hug.

"Alright, alright! Barrett, you kid let go! Are you trying to strangle me? "Daniel. Jodok said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Barrett, who quickly let go of his embrace, helped Daniel. Jodok pulled up his chair. Then the guy said without a red face and a heartbeat: "Uncle Daniel, we haven't seen each other for a year!" From time to time, I think of your help during this time of adventure outside. ”

"I'll just say you're going to be fine when you kid comes to me! Tell me, what is there that needs the help of my old bones? "Daniel. Jodok sat down unceremoniously and laughed.

Barrett replied with a hippie smile: "Look at what you said, do I come to you every time I have something?" ”

"You kid don't talk well there. Not when you were a kid, but since the last time you visited, you can't tell. If you really think of us outside, you won't even send us a letter for a whole year! "Daniel. Jodok relented, "It's a lot colder than when I lived in Shafir City before." ”

'Nagging parent mode?' I'm not good at dealing with this kind of person! Barrett was going crazy in his heart. However, he did not dare to show any impatience on the surface: "That's because we can't find the right time!" I ran around this year, and I didn't stay long in most places. And many of them can't send letters. The only thing that settled down was during Ulrique's time. But you should also know what I'm involved in there. At that time, in principle, it was not allowed to send letters to the outside world. Then we went to the savannah, and we came to you as soon as we arrived in Karada! To know ......"

People say that children should be coaxed, and women should be coaxed. As everyone knows, the elderly, especially the elders, also have to be coaxed. In order to achieve his goal, Barrett can be regarded as giving up his own discipline at this time. Start in front of Daniel. In front of Jodok, he made a low posture. Finally got Daniel. Jodok ignored the mustard, "With your kid's size." It's hard enough to be like this. I don't care about the past with you anymore. But the ugly words are ahead, that time for more than a year every news, don't blame my uncle, you're welcome. ”

"Don't worry! If nothing happens, it won't happen again. Speaking of this, Barrett patted his chest in fear, "The reason why I've been so busy this year is because I feel my strength. It's time for rapid promotion. ”

"What do you mean if there are no surprises!" Daniel. Jodok was obviously a little unhappy, but then he immediately raised his voice: "What did you just say?" If I heard me right, you're saying that your strength has reached the stage of rapid promotion. ”

"Yes! I'm now a member of the Hematite Rank. Although the difficulty of promotion from limestone to hematite is far less than that of the later ranks. But this is also a threshold after all! In order to be able to cross it smoothly, I think it is worth paying a little price. At this point, Barrett deliberately muttered, "What about just that busy and fulfilling life!" ”

"You're already at the Red Iron Rank?" Daniel. Jodok jumped straight from where he was sitting and slapped Barrett on the shoulder with his hand. The agility of this movement is almost a little out of his age.

Barrett nodded, "Do you think it's necessary for me to lie about this kind of thing?" My promotion guidance was carried out under the arrangement of the Earl. Definitely not like some reckless people. There are all kinds of omissions when it comes to promotion. ”

The so-called omission of promotion refers to the problems that may arise when certain professions are promoted without inheritance and no guidance. Of course, like the low-level advancement from the limestone rank to the hematite rank, even if there are some problems, it is often not too big. Generally speaking, it's just that some aspect of the improvement is not ideal - if it is a player, it is just one or two exemptions that have not been improved, or one or two skill points. It won't block the path of a large group of people like hematite to black lead.

What's more, it is not difficult for Indigenous professionals who are close to the threshold of promotion to obtain relevant guidance through their networks (although this comes at a cost, but it is well worth it in their eyes). So Barrett just emphasized that. Totally for the sake of Daniel. Jodok, the elder of the game, is reassured. Who let him be promoted to that place suddenly! Such a short-term improvement will naturally make people worry about whether there will be any hidden dangers.

"Great! That's great! Barrett, your father in the kingdom of God will be proud of you. "Daniel. Jodok reached out with some excitement and put his hands on Barrett's shoulders. "He really has a good son! He stepped into the red iron rank at such a young age, and was favored by the earl. You may be on the verge of a resurgence in your generation. ”

"Look at what you said! Uncle Daniel, you don't think it's too early to talk about the rise of the family or something. Barrett scratched the back of his head, "At least until I'm promoted to the Black Lead rank, I'm not qualified to talk about this!" ”

"That being said, that's right! But uncle, I'm sure you'll be able to step into the black lead in the future, Barrett. "Daniel. Jodok has a lot of confidence in Barrett.

Barrett, who knew that the other party was not talking about the scene. Naturally, he was a little embarrassed: "Then it's up to you." I will never forget your selfless help, Uncle Daniel. ”

"How long are you going to stay in Karada this time, is there anything I can do to help?" Although the two of them were numb for a while, the experienced Daniel. Jodok still brings the conversation to the point.

Barrett to Daniel. Jodok handed over a cup of tea and said, "It should be only for a few days!" Once we've received the tailings from the Chamber of Commerce, we should get up and head back to Boreham to pick them up. ”

"What's the hurry? Didn't you just come back from the steppe? Why not rest for a few more days in Karada. "Daniel. Jodok kindly reminded.

"I'd love to stay in Karada for a few more days!" An innocent-looking Barrett pretended to complain unintentionally, "But there seem to be some people in this city who don't welcome me. My companion was on the last time I came. I was also troubled by the unlucky guy who fell off the horse before! ”

"The last time your companion was here, he was troubled?" Daniel. Jodok asked, a little suspicious.

Barrett nodded, "We were split up at the time, so one of the detachment's companions was in trouble after entering Karada. They then investigated and found out who was behind this. It turned out to be a former bureaucrat who was fired from public office because of the previous 'plane subsidence incident'. I remember my teammates mentions that the Church of the 'Lord of Notars' got involved in this matter later! It should be quite a fuss, Uncle Daniel, haven't you heard of it? ”

"Is that actually the thing?" Daniel. Jodok nodded in realization, "I've heard about this, but I didn't expect it to involve your companions!" ”

But then Daniel. Jodok's face became a little gloomy: "Although the entanglement between the church and the government and my purview seem to be a little far away. But since I'm involved with you, it stands to reason that someone will inform me! This situation is obviously something abnormal. Could it be that someone in the town hall is going to target me? ”

"Uncle Daniel wouldn't be too much for you. After all, I wasn't in Karada that incident, so maybe they didn't connect it with us! Barrett immediately threw out the argument that he had been preparing for a long time, in order to guide Daniel. Jodok became more suspicious.

And Daniel. When Jodok heard this, he followed Barrett's assumption and said, "It can't be that I'm thinking too much." Barrett, you don't know the way to this, you must know that you and your companions are the heroes of the previous incident, and the troublemakers were the ones who were fired from public office in that incident. This kind of thing will be seen by a discerning person who sees it as retaliation. Moreover, there are not many people who contributed to that incident, and there is no reason why such news will not reach my ears. So there must be something wrong with this matter. ”

"That's right! I also seem to have heard that the accountability of the Church of the 'Lord of Justice' seems to be nothing in the end. At the time, I thought it was a small thing that didn't require a big move. Now it does seem like something is wrong! "Barrett didn't forget to add fuel to the fire at this time.

Daniel. Jodok's face can be said to be as ugly and ugly as it is now. He was not only worried about what had happened to the players before, but more importantly because of the form he would face in the government. Unlike the new capital of Ulrique, Karada's royal migration has led to a large extent linking the government to the local lords. While the royal family in general hasn't fallen into disadvantage, it's not as monolithic as Ulrique.

And Daniel. Mr. Jodok, like some self-motivated bureaucrats, has been in the arms of the local lords for a long time. Otherwise, his relationship with the Barrett family would not be so close. Although in terms of the group of court nobles, like Daniel. Outliers like Jodoc are still in the minority. But in the case of the city of Karada. That's not a small number of them - after all, they're mostly concentrated here.

When two different camps are in the same organization, competition and confrontation are inevitable. Changes in this matter. Daniel. Jodok clearly sensed a hint of danger. He frowned and said, "Barrett, I think our meeting today is probably coming to an end. The news you just gave me is very important, and I need to confirm it now. So if you're looking for me, make an appointment another day! By the way, don't forget to write to your uncle. ”

Looking at Daniel who was leaving in a hurry. Jodok, Barrett himself frowned: "I didn't expect Uncle Daniel to have received no news about this matter, it seems that the problem is much more serious than we thought before." ”

Although in this era of slow message delivery. It's much easier to keep something a secret than it is in reality. However, if you want to conceal the news from an individual, especially an individual who is related to the subject of the message and has a certain social status. But it's not an easy thing to do.

Although, according to Anvil, they were not in much trouble at the time. But the intervention of the Church of the Lord of Justice is no small matter. And Daniel. Jodok knew that there had been friction between the Church of the Lord of Justice and the City Hall at that time. I don't know why. How could this not make him feel panicked!

Daniel. Jodok was probably thinking, 'Is this going to be something big for the royal officials?' Or they want to create friction with their officials who have thrown themselves into the local lords......

In that case, it was no wonder that he left in a hurry. After all, for officials, the hat on their heads is extremely important. Under the premise that it is possible to move their hats, their work efficiency often shows a geometric increase.

And when Barrett returned to his lodgings, several of his companions had left and they had gathered around. Rieli couldn't help but ask, "How was the meeting going this time, did you dig up any news from that aboriginal uncle that we didn't know before?" ”

"Don't mention it! It's more complicated than we thought. Uncle Daniel, he didn't know that it had anything to do with us beforehand, and it seems that there is an undercurrent in the town hall! Barrett shook his head with a wry smile.

Claymatis. When Bot heard this, he immediately frowned: "So Barrett, what are you going to do next?" Will you stay and investigate the matter, or will you be ready to carry Bolim to the collar as planned. ”

"Why stay! Of course, we went north as planned after we got paid. Barrett looked helpless, "It's been so long, they shouldn't be able to do anything about us." So if we don't slip away before they can react, do we really have to wait for them to dig a hole for us? (To be continued......)
