PS: Modify the wording. Pinshu (.vodtw.) thanked the "Crimson Sword Emperor" and "Love in the Moonlight" for their big monthly votes. At the same time, thank you for the great reward of "Black Gold Ancient Knife Zhang Qiling".

'The cavalry class itself may not be very good at the field end, but the mounts of the Canine Paw Cavalry Regiment are good at this! It seems that this operation is somewhat certain. Barrett nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then gave his companions a reassuring look.

When we met before, the other party didn't inform them of their professional behavior, but it really made the hearts of all the people who were blood-stained and gray flowers always hang in mid-air. It was only now that they had finally developed some trust in the stranger who had joined temporarily.

However, it should also be a military background, this Mara. In terms of purchasing supplies, Zhidi did not go to the mixed 'adventurer's house' or the extremely eye-catching street vendors. Instead, it directly touched the munitions shops in the city of Poitou.

As a well-known military industrial center on the Western Continent, Boreham Territory, which is extremely popular in the arms trade, will naturally not let go of the retail business in its own territory. It's just that although the items sold in the Boreham family's munitions store are all well-made and of guaranteed quality. But also in terms of price, they are definitely worth their value.

Coupled with the fact that it is an official store after all, the sale of each weapon is often recorded. For many adventurers who are ready to work wet and dry at any time, going there to procure supplies will bring them a lot of unexpected troubles. Over time, the customers there often turned into formed mercenary groups, and the adventurers, if they did, often only took a fancy to Boreham's excellent combat rations.

Looking at the labels on the shelves, Rielly couldn't help but complain: "The things here are two tiers more expensive than the places where we purchased them before, and the smallest gap here!" ”

"You get what you pay for! The quality of the things here is really not good. In response, Barrett shook the counterweight axe in his hand.

Just the right center of gravity, balanced weights, and a comfortable but not slippery grip. Just holding it in your hand is far more pleasant than what you used to buy from ordinary blacksmiths. Don't let such a gap mean nothing, the difference is unbounded when it comes to master duels.

Not to mention the flowing water patterns on the blade of the flying axe, when dealing with ordinary armor. It was able to penetrate at least twenty percent more than the string of throwing axes on Barrett's waist. In a sense, the two are no longer on the same level. Of course, the same is true for the price, and the thing Barrett is now playing with is at least twice as expensive as a normal counterweight axe.

"I want all 8 counterweight flying axes, and by the way, bring me four small javelins." Barrett, who said this, threw the money bag directly on the counter. For him now, it's not a little money at all. Compared to increasing your chances of winning, this money is drizzle!

Rielly on the side was almost a little unbearable, she reached out and pulled Barrett: "You are too extravagant!" ”

"Luxury! For one's own life, no matter how much investment in weapons and equipment is, it is not a luxury! "Mara. The bottom of the branch watched coldly with his hands on his chest.

Barrett, who heard this, turned around and nodded at the same time: "This sentence is not wrong!" In the past, when there were no conditions, we naturally just needed to solve the problem. But it's okay to get through that and it's something that can't be done during a special period. Now that there are conditions, of course, it is necessary to improve the combat effectiveness as much as possible. ”

Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. Bot even took advantage of this opportunity to replace the long-restored shield in his hand. The newly arrived shield is no less protective than before. The light weight is about 20%. Moreover, the portable strap under the new design and new process also makes the hand holding the shield more flexible.

A large amount of gold coins were spent like water, which not only brought a new upgrade of ordinary equipment for the blood-stained gray flowers, but also made the weapons market in Poitu City more active. However, as long as it is not magical equipment, the total value of this purchase is still very limited—not even the price of a healing belt. Of course, when using cash to pay the bill, the gold coins flowing directly from the money bag are indeed full of visual impact.

The players who had completed the work immediately led the little man's foreign aid straight out of the city, and in order to hurry, Barrett paid for a flatbed carriage to use on the road - because the next action is likely to erupt into a fierce conflict, and the end of this carriage and the horse must be a tragedy.

Wave the reins in your hand vigorously. The horse-drawn carriage, which was much faster than walking, stirred up a lot of dust under the scorching sun. Barrett, who was riding the horse, asked as he exited, "Noodles!" How far is it from here to the place where you were first attacked? ”

"If it's the first time you are attacked, it's going to be half a day's journey!" The halfling wanderer replied as he looked at the shrinking gatehouse in his sight.

Barrett, who continued to drive the car, continued to ask without looking back: "If my guess is correct, it seems that you were also attacked by them on this trade route!" ”

"Yes! I knew we were going to find a caravan to go with us that time. In that case, I don't think the Crimson Hand guys would dare to make a move on us. In that case. There is no guarantee that they will not escape alive. After all, this is a trade route, and caravans come and go frequently. Rieli, with some annoyance, interjected, "But a few of us were in a hurry to meet you in Poitou City. After not being able to find a suitable caravan for a while. We're on our own. ”

After listening to the players' conversations, Mara sits in the back of the cart with her dog. The bottom of the branch suddenly spoke directly: "Wait! You were first attacked by the Scarlet Hand on this trade route? In this case, why don't you continue along the trade route, and if you encounter other caravans passing by, you will not be saved? ”

"Wouldn't the 'Scarlet Hand' be wary of this most common thought? At first, we also wanted to break through the trade route, but we just crashed headlong into the iron plate. "Claudia with her head in her hands. Half-lying in the car, Auditore said, "At that time, Laru, who was at the front of the road, almost died. If it weren't for the fact that Rielly's rough skin and thick flesh after transformation were strong enough to resist blows. Maybe it won't be saved! We relied on Clematis for the next few days......"

Few people who survive in this world will be fools, and how can the side that is the attacker not be prepared for the best escape route for the ambush target. Therefore, it was not that the blood-stained gray flowers did not want to flee all the way along the trade route at that time, but after losing Barrett, the strongest attacking force. After several efforts, they were finally driven into the wilderness on the side, and then they had a three-day escape and entanglement.

However, the 'Scarlet Hand' organization is a wanted criminal after all. Naturally, there are no decent healers among them - perhaps in the past, some 'cult' priests would have accepted their employment, but now the 'Scarlet Hand', which has become a street rat, has little use left. In the eyes of the vast majority of people. They are like grasshoppers in the autumn field - they can't bounce for more than a few days.

In this case, Clematis. The pastor Bot became the most important factor in the success or failure of that tug-of-war. The 'Rejuvenation' wand in her hand, as well as the magic she obtained after praying every morning, made the players have the last laugh in the following battles. The 'Scarlet Hand', which lacked the ability to recover, naturally lost in that tug-of-war - although reputation is invisible and tangible, it is still an important measure of an organization's strength in many cases.

But at this time. The most important contributor to the previous tug-of-war was Clematis. Bot spoke: "Wait! Barrett, aren't you going to take a look at the last place where we fought the attackers? It takes a lot less time to get there. It's just that the carriage is a little bumpy in the wilderness away from the trade routes. ”

"The primary purpose of our operation this time is to find clues about the attackers suspected of being the 'Scarlet Hand'. And the most important of these is the first scene of your attack. Only there are the most likely traces of those guys and their former hiding places. There is still a long way to go, everyone is still recuperating first, and the work at hand is not easy! As he spoke, Barrett steered the carriage sideways to the side of the road, and thus passed a caravan that was slowly moving forward.

It wasn't until the red sunset turned a fiery cloud in the sky that the group finally came to the scene of the previous attack. When they got out of the car, there was no obvious difference between the road in front of them and the business road in front of them. Rielly, who was the first to jump out of the carriage, trotted on one of the sections: "Here! Right under my feet, it was here that my fireball technique exploded in order to break through the opponent's defense. ”

Looking at where Rielie was standing, Barrett grabbed a shovel from the car. Then the powerful arms waved, and in three strokes and two strokes, the top layer of the tamped clay board was dug open. Then, sure enough, I noticed something wrong with the soil below. I saw him stretch out his fingers, twist up the little bit of soil and rub it on his fingertips a few times, and then pinched it in front of his nose and sniffed: "** quality carbonization, clay pottery." It was indeed exposed to high temperatures that were high enough to melt gold and iron. Looks like this is where you were attacked in the first place. ”

And Mara on the side. At the bottom of the branch, after pinching the mud that had been dug up by Barrett with his hand, his face suddenly became a little difficult to look at: "That Mr. Barrett, I am afraid that this operation will be very difficult." Whether we'll be able to find the right clues is still unknown! ”

"Mr. Barrett? That's a weird name! Either you can just call me Barrett or you can just call me Mr. Boreham! I was in the city before, and I was obviously good. How did it change outside? Barrett, who turned around, tilted his head and asked.

"Barrett! All right! It's just a matter of my personal habits, and when talking about serious topics, I habitually add honorifics! "Mara. At the bottom of the branch, her hands were spread, but her expression was still serious: "Let's get down to business!" This method of digging up the original traces and re-laying the cement and tamping it takes a lot of time. If you still want to avoid the caravans coming and going without being discovered, unless you use a change-based spell, it will be difficult for Shi Feng. ”

Barrett also frowned: "I understand the meaning of your words, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find something useful this time, right?" ”

"Yes! Since the cover-up on the road has already taken so much effort, I don't think there should be any reason for them to cut corners elsewhere. Although I think I'm good at it. But don't get your hopes up too much. "Mara. Said with a shame on the underside of the branch.

Barrett also said with a solemn face: "When manpower is poor! If we can't find a clue, we can only blame our bad luck and the cunning of the enemy. ”

"In that case, I'll start." After saying this, Mara. A red, viscous paste was applied to the nostrils of her mount at the base of the branch. Then, holding the reins in her hand, she carried the big dog with whom she had a heart, and began to look for something nearby.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the alchemical potion 'Hound Blood' produced by the gnomes! Hopefully, with its help, we can find some useful clues. Noodles, who had been watching the play for a long time, frowned and said.

The blood of the hound is a special alchemical potion that greatly increases the sense of smell of the creature it is applied to. For most living things. This results in a (+2) environmental bonus to the perception test, which lasts up to 1 hour. In the case of gnomes, it greatly enhances their sense of smell, giving them the ability to 'smell sensitively' for 5 minutes. And within 1 hour of the end of this effect, the detection test will gain the same environmental bonus as other creatures.

"I hope the accomplices can find some clues this way! Otherwise, should we go back to the city and pay the priest to perform the magic of the pastor? Barrett said in a tone of resignation.

It was at this time that "Wang! Woof! Woof! A dog barked, and then Mara. The mount at the bottom of the branch struggled and twisted its body as if it had gone berserk. And the halfling cavalry on the side is very skillful at the moment to comfort their good mates. (To be continued.)
