Barrett frowned when he heard that: "According to your intentions, Lord Earl, could it be that I will have some trouble in 'Ulrike'?" ”

"If you just go with the team to 'Ulrique' and leave very quickly, you won't be in trouble." Speaking of this, the Earl of Boreham glanced at Barrett with a smirk, "But you are obviously going to stay there and see the world for a while!" Naturally, those who want to give us the Bolum family eye medicine will have enough time to find an opportunity to shoot at you. ”

"But I'm just a small side of the Boreham family, and is anyone really going to spend so much energy and all their hearts and minds against me?" Barrett apparently felt that there was something inexplicable about this.

"The psychology of those court nobles, I don't think you will understand!" Earl Boram shook his head with a smile, "Just because you are only a side branch of the family, and at the same time, you can be regarded as a promising young man with a reputation in the country of Norhan. So it's right in the range of those guys' choices. If you're a little higher, you'll have to face a different group of opponents. ”

"What do you mean, Lord Earl, that a battle like this still has to be divided into three, six, nine and so on?" The expression on Barrett's face also became more difficult to look at as the words followed.

"That's why those 'cupboards' are a lot of trouble, and we're not as straight as we were back then. Under the rules of the game they have set, there is always a feeling that our local rules cannot be forced. Speaking of this, Count Boreham finally showed a trace of helplessness on his face, "The current Nohan is no longer the Nohan of the principality. ”

"But if it's those court nobles, I don't think the Earl will be at a disadvantage!" Barrett felt a little incredulous.

You must know that in the kingdom of Nohan, there is a huge difference in strength between the local nobles and the court nobles. Land was the most important means of production in the feudal period. There are also their own military, administrative and legal powers, which make the fiefdom nobles have a greater and more powerful ability to attract gold. Again, they are able to more effectively translate wealth into strength and power in all aspects. Holding the name of the country, he naturally has an innate advantage.

"Downwind? How is that possible, if we can't fight those 'cupboards', where will we still have a face to live in the world. As the Earl of Boreham said this, he glared at Barrett fiercely, "But it's a shame that while we have the upper hand, we can't get away with those guys in terms of the exchange of strength between the two sides." In other words, we have an advantage in some areas, but in other places the 'cabinets' will take advantage. So how long you'll be in Ulrique, Barrett, you'll have to think about it yourself. ”

"Is this why the royal family should be behind them?" Barrett naturally understood that those court nobles could not just rely on their own strength to set off such a storm.

"Not only the royal family, but also foreign power in this matter. But the most important thing is that the hearts of our local nobles are not aligned. Each one plays its own small double handicap. The Earl of Boreham smiled sarcastically, "Huh! So-called politics is so dirty. ”

The more he pondered Earl Boreham's previous words, the more Barrett felt as if he had discovered a new continent: 'Does the royal family have to suppress the local aristocracy even if it cooperates with foreign powers?' It seems that the territory of the Norhan Kingdom is far from being as peaceful as it seems on the surface! And the Earl's smile was in it. It also seems to be quite self-deprecating. It seems that he himself can't get out of that dirty political circle......

Seeing Barrett standing there for a long time without responding, Earl Borem reached out and knocked on his desk, "Barrett, have you decided to join the escort to 'Ulrike' now?" Whether or not to switch to other tasks, there are a lot of good options on it. ”

"Nope! I decided to go for Ulrike anyway, and since the family was able to prevail in such a fight, I had no reason to think that I would be one of the few losers. That's right, Lord Earl. If I win the battle against those 'cabinets'. Is there any additional reward for the family? Barrett was showing great confidence at this point, and at the same time he thought to himself: 'If only two lifetimes of experience can't play those guys.' As you have just said, Your Count, I have no face to live in this world. ’

"You kid is so confident! As long as you can take advantage of that kind of confrontation. The clan will never skimp on rewards. The Earl of Boreham looked at Barrett with interest, "But I blame you for not reminding you." The rules of the game of 'Ulrike' are not something that can be solved by strength alone. You don't have to make a fuss then. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Earl! If you can't do it. Don't I know how to run? Barrett acted very naturally, "Even if it fails, what." As long as you don't kill me once, the days will be long, and I will always have a chance to get back on the field, right? ”

"It's not like what you should have thought for your age." The Earl of Boreham really didn't know whether to be happy or have a headache for a while, "In that case, you can just do it!" Let the 'cabinets' of 'Ulrique' take a look at the new generation of our Boreham family. ”

"Yes, sir! I will never lose the prestige of the Boreham family. Barrett said, banging his right fist on his chest.

Earl Boreham nodded: "I hope you can do what you say!" Although the strength of those 'cabinets' is not very good, they are very good at playing tricks. Don't accidentally capsize in the gutter. ”

"Yes, sir! I'll be careful in this regard. Barrett nodded modestly, "And it's not like there are no people among my teammates who are good at this." You can get their help when the time comes. ”

"Speaking of which, you're still the same name, the head of the mercenary group!" Speaking of this, the Earl of Boreham was stunned and did not think of the name 'Bloodstained Gray Flower'. But he apparently didn't intend to pause at the question: "I almost forgot about that, and in that case, I can't rule out the possibility that those guys will think of your companions as your followers." In that case, they may also be targeted by the 'cabinets'. Barrett, you'd better be mentally prepared. ”

"Don't worry! I think my companions must have enjoyed that hectic life. I'm going to see what kind of surprises those 'cabinets' can give us. Barrett said, with a wicked smile on his face.

Unlike the aborigines, players like Barrett are not afraid of trouble at all, and even in many cases, they are eager to get into trouble. Because these troubles can turn into all kinds of sudden tasks. Players are rewarded with experience and material rewards. It can be said that the group of player adventurers is the real center of trouble, and some of them will even cause trouble themselves even if they can't find it.

So after knowing what might happen to Ulrique, Claudia Auditore and Klematisbot were probably in high spirits at the first time. And Rielly and Noodles will immediately start preparing in advance. As for noodles, they may not be interested, but they will definitely not object.

"It's good that you have a good mind! Don't mess up because of accidents. The Earl of Boreham continued: "Then in three days you will go and contact the steward of the Chamber of Commerce." You'll find out the exact departure time at that time. ”

"Understood, sir! Then I'll retire for now. After saying this, Barrett immediately remembered the system prompt in his ears: "The Bloodstained Gray Flower Team accepts the entrusted mission "Escort (Poitou to Ulrique)...... Quest Rewards...... will be done after ...... Issuance of ......' as the case may be

At the same time, the players who were still in the hotel should also be awakened from their sleep by this soul-penetrating system prompt - last night's carnival consumed too much mental and physical energy for these players. Coupled with the pressure accumulated during this period of time, these guys have slept lazily one by one.

Rielly, who was woken up from her sleep by the sound of the system, slammed the pillow behind her against the wall with an unsettling low air pressure. Then he pulled his long hair that was already messy and scolded: "Barrett, even if you have to accept the mission, you don't have to choose such an early morning time!" ”

Fortunately, by the time Barrett returned to the hotel. The female mage's wake-up anger has long been worn out by time. That's why I didn't get a baptism of saliva because of this. And when he told him about the mission he was going to do, and what might happen to Ulrique, his companions didn't react beyond their expectations.

"It looks like it's going to be a very thrilling ride!" Claudia Auditore's eyes lit up at the same time.

And Kleimatisbot was also excited at this time: "'Ulrik' is the real capital of the Norhan Kingdom!" I've long wanted to see how the capital of the continent's powerhouse compares to the 'Repulse City'. ”

"But Barrett, what did you just mean. It means that if we stay in Ulrike for a long time, we will be harassed by the nobles of the court there. "Halflings, on the other hand, are more concerned about the troubles they might encounter when they get there.

But at this time, Rieli touched her chin quite satisfied: "Don't worry too much about this, the excitement of those guys is both a challenge and an opportunity." With their presence, we're bored in 'Ulrike' in the first place. And those small tasks can also be a pretty good payoff. ”

"Rielie is right! As long as the trouble is solved. Naturally, there will be a corresponding return. Barrett paused. And a few people don't forget. Since 'Ulrik' was the capital of the Norhan Kingdom, it was definitely more prosperous than most cities. At the same time, it is also a place for the game of various forces. Although there are risks. But it also comes with opportunities. ”

"It's true that risks and opportunities coexist. But with our current strength, is it really suitable to go there? As he spoke, he reached out and scratched his head. There is always a feeling that you have just stepped out of the novice village and strayed into the high-end area. ”

"You don't have to worry too much about this noodle. As long as we don't provoke those who can't deal with it, death is not too risky under normal circumstances. Barrett smiled at this, "And don't forget, everybody. There are quite a few players who were born directly into 'Ulrik' in the first place. Some of them are still alive and well there to this day. If those people can, why can't we? ”

"That's right! If they can, why can't we. I don't think there are as many players as there are now. Claudia Auditore immediately chimed in.

"Claudia, you'd better be careful! Didn't you hear what Barrett said before, in 'Ulrique' you can't solve all problems by force. We'll have to do a little more to prepare for this. Rielly poked Claudia Auditore in the head with her finger as she spoke.

The halfling wanderer rarely agreed with the mage's statement, "That's right! 'Ulrik' is also the royal capital, and the laws there must be very strict. If we had to rely on force to solve everything, I am afraid that in a few days we would all have to live in prison. ”

"Similarly, in Ulrik City, the use of spells will be greatly restricted. If you cast a spell at will, you may be wanted. After saying this, Barrett looked at Rielly, intentionally or unintentionally, "The mystery lock there is said to be very accurate in locating the location of the illegal caster. ”

"You just said the illegal caster. In other words, there are legal channels for casting spells in Ulrique. Rielly was immediately interested.

Barrett, who seemed to have known that Rielly would ask about this, smiled and shook his head: "Of course there is a channel for that." But I don't think Rielie will be interested. Joining the royal court's court mage corps, or its subordinate law enforcement team, will be able to obtain legal spellcasting privileges in 'Ulrik'. ”

"Is that all there is to it?" Rielly immediately frowned when she heard this, "Could it be that those nobles and spellcasters belonging to large mage organizations don't have the slightest power to cast spells in 'Ulrik'?" ”

"Of course, it's just that they'll pay the hefty ticket for casting the spell." Barrett blinked when he said this, "So when it comes to life and death, don't care about any prohibitions." It is more cost-effective to spend money to eliminate disasters than resurrection stones. (To be continued.) (520。 ))
