"As I imagined before, I will really encounter ** annoyance when I come here this time." Barrett tilted his head and sighed, muttering to himself, 'Rielly is still a little out of breath!' Although she seems to be shrewd in normal words, her overly strong self-esteem is easy to be targeted by people with agitation. Especially in the area of women's rights......

Noodles turned his gaze to the captain behind him with a sad face: "Barrett, do you think we should continue?" Maybe it's a good idea to quit now. ”

"Exit now? I don't think we have a chance to quit now. As he spoke, Barrett looked at the intelligence officer in front of him, "Yes, this Mr. Blacksmith." ”

"This gentleman, you can call me Brent. And you're right to be worried, in fact it is impossible for you to come to me and get away from this turmoil undisturbed. The dwarven informant showed a hint of appreciation.

Barrett stared into the other's eyes for a few moments, as if to confirm that the other was lying. After observing the words and looking at the words, he didn't see any flaws in it, and asked directly: "In other words, this intelligence point has long been targeted?" ”

Barrett's words made Noodles a little nervous, and the eyes that looked at Brent became wary.

"I'm a semi-public intelligence channel in the circle, do you think there will be no one to watch in this situation? If you doubt me, you can take the money back and turn away. Brent, who tossed the money bag back to the noodles, looked indifferent.

He took the noodles that the other party threw back into the money bag with both hands, and asked in disbelief: "How dare the other party make such a big move, has the official authority of Falling Hammer City weakened to such a degree?" ”

Brent shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry! The problem of this kind of process is already in the range of remuneration that needs to be paid. You have to decide whether to pay or not before you can get the answer. ”

Barrett touched his chin: "Is this qiē all related to the Sainoa family, it should be okay to just answer yes or no!" This also allows us to determine whether or not to buy intelligence next. ”

"You're a cautious businessman." Brent's wry smile combined with the dwarven beard looks very joyful.

Barrett's face also showed an uncomfortable expression, as if he was recalling some bad memories: "This is also a habit that has been developed by being cheated too much." ”

Brentra sat down over the wooden mound beside him: "Alright! This has a lot to do with what happened to the Sainoa family during this time. ”

It's really getting more and more troublesome. Barrett's forehead crept into wrinkles in the blink of an eye: "So how many gold coins do you need for a full set of information related to the Sainoa family." ”

"A fixed price of 8o gold coins! And because it's not an exclusive story, otherwise it would have at least doubled! "Brent gives a quote directly in the organization.

Barrett gave Noodle an inquiring look, and the latter scratched his head: "The non-exclusive packaging information for 8o gold coins is probably at the level of 'Servant of the Night' in the Night Veil. It's past what we can do at the moment. ”

"Is it too difficult? But the current situation is not that we are looking for trouble, but that trouble is coming to us! As he spoke, Barrett grabbed the other man's money bag from Noodles' hand, took the badge out of it, and stuffed the gold coins from his pocket.

After handing over a bag full of money, Barrett said with a painful face: "The price has been paid, and the rest is your reply." ”

Brent, who took the money bag, immediately had a smile on his face: "Collect money and do things!" After that, I will tell you about the causes and consequences of these changes in the recent period, starting with the Sainoa family in the city......"

It's been less than 5o years since the Sanoa family settled in Hammer City, and before that, they were only a declining mage family in front of the public. Although the act cannot be said to be high-profile, the attitude of looking down on non-professionals has also caused several small conflicts in the city. This doesn't make their reputation in Hammer City very good.

Probably since last month, there was a rumor in Falling Hammer City that the Sainoa family was a dragon vein family that had fled here. And they will flee to us because they hold the secret of a black dragon's treasure in their hands. Of course, not many people believed this rumor at first, but as the rumor spread, the number of unfamiliar faces who stayed in the city became more and more.

At first, the two sides were only on guard against each other, watching each other. Until the night of the week before, the eldest daughter of the Sainoa family was attacked. Then the situation began to deteriorate rapidly.

Now the Sainoa family is hiding in their mansion in the city, defending themselves against the attackers with the watchtower-like structure and the materials they had stockpiled before. And the attackers did not directly carry out large-scale operations in the city, so they besieged and monitored the every move of the Sainoa family.

Noodle seemed to hear something from these words: "In other words, the official has taken a tacit attitude towards the battle between the two sides!" ”

"Acquiescence, perhaps not only acquiescence, but also some rules for the fight between the two sides." Brent flipped the bag in his hand and began to talk: "It is not allowed to fight on the main road, it is not allowed to engage in large-scale fights during the day, and it is not allowed to use large-scale lethal spells in the city. Of course, these limits are what we extrapolate from the way the two sides fight. It is not clear what other restrictions there are on the part of the town hall. ”

There is a different kind of weirdness in these statements alone. The city hall, which is supposed to be an organ of power, actually adopted a ** attitude at such a time. I have to wonder if it's boring.

As if sensing the confusion on the faces of the two, Brent cleared his throat and explained: "Falling Hammer City is no longer the direct domain of the knights, and not all lords are as good at running as the Boreham family. ”

"You mean tax packages and limited autonomy?" Barrett raised his eyebrows, and he seemed to have really neglected a lot of things. In particular, there is too much ignorance of the environmental changes after 2oo years, and this situation can sound the alarm bell for him.

The tax package system is usually that the aristocracy calculates the total amount of tax receivable in the town for the year, and asks the local big merchants to pay for the contract, and then the big merchants collect it from the merchants to compensate with their income. The tax contractor pays the government tax in advance for one year, and he can enjoy the same taxing right as the lord in the tax parcel. These profiteers often levy more taxes on small businesses in their territories than they pay to the government. But the balance between profit and the prevention of riots needs to be well managed.

Similarly, the limited autonomy of towns was a right that many merchants bought from their lords at great expense each year. This gave them the right to govern the city in addition to the violent apparatus.

"That's right! Now it's not the brave knights who are in charge of Hammer City, but some businessmen with fat brains. It is not surprising that they would make such a move as long as the interests are sufficient. As long as there are no large number of civilian casualties, they always have a way to fool the lord, right? Out of nowhere, Brent took out a pipe, lit a fire, and took two puffs.

Noodle's current bean bun face has been replaced by a meat bun face full of folds: "So in these days of being besieged, didn't the Sainoa family have any reinforcements?" ”

"Yes! How not. However, some of them died in the alleys, and most chose to leave. Few managed to enter the Sanoa family's mansion. Brent reminded as if he had come over, "Seriously, if I were you, I'd get out of here after finding a way to deal with the first wave of attacks from those guys." As long as you're out of town, those guys won't bother you anymore. ”

Barrett asked with a smirk, "How many people have you said this to before?" ”

"There is a fifth, including you, but unfortunately there is one who does not want to listen to my advice. And the remaining three are dead garbage that can't even escape the attack outside the door. As he spoke, Brent took off his pipe.

"You want these battles to end! Did the attackers pay you, or did your business suffer? Barrett asked unceremoniously.

Noodle then helped, "Sir, you're violating the neutrality of the Veil of Night. ”

"Enough civilians have been affected during this time. It's good for everybody to get the damn thing over quickly. Brent's words clearly meant that he was more optimistic about the attackers. Then he chattered on and on about other information related to this, of course, the other party's efforts were mostly due to the molecule of the 8o gold coin.

After Brent finally fell silent, Barrett clapped his hands and got up: "Now that we have the news we need, this deal is over." Let's go! ”

"Great! The air here is much worse than the intelligence station in Karada. Noodle deliberately complained as he turned around.

After hearing the noodles, Brent sniffled: "It doesn't taste good!" By the way, let's give you a new head! In this alley outside my blacksmith shop, the attackers won't do it. They dare not provoke the majesty of the Night Mask, and you have to be careful about the journey from this alley to the main road. ”

"We'll take notice!" Barrett, who had his back to Brent, waved his right hand.

As he left the blacksmith shop, Noodles asked Barrett, "Is that guy's last word credible?" ”

"Let's go! You'll find out in a moment. Barrett watched the narrow alleyway warily. Noodles had their backs to Barrett's cautious hind legs.

The alley outside the blacksmith was uneventful, but when he stepped into the other alley, Barrett could feel his hairs stand on end.

Suddenly, there was a "whoosh", and the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air approached quickly.
