ps: changes the wording.

'I remember most of the lords hated the druids. Viscount Ebble White actually openly admitted the existence of that organization, which means that the two sides have reached any agreement? Barrett thought as he tapped his finger on the table.

After settling the meal in front of him, Barrett, who had nothing to gain, paid directly and left. After all, it is unlikely that there will be any astonishing secrets that can be obtained for free in a place like a tavern.

As soon as he stepped out of the tavern door, Barrett spotted the cloaked halfling hurrying out of the alley not far away. The other party seemed to have noticed Barrett's appearance as well, and immediately ran towards him in a hurry.

"If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when we get back to the house." Barrett, who picked up the noodles in one hand, immediately spoke out to stop the halfling from interpreting the words. Leaking the slightest bit of information on someone else's land may reveal the purpose of your trip.

Immediately after the meeting with the noodles, Barrett circled the nearby streets, vigilantly watching for potential stalkers behind him. After making sure that there was no little tail attached to the back, Barrett returned to the hotel with Noodles.

After entering the room, Barrett immediately closed the door, then looked at the noodles sitting on the chair and asked, "It is said that the underground world of Belstow City seems to be very disciplined, and noodles should not be in any major trouble!" ”

"As long as the money is clear, those guys never make trouble for themselves and others. It's called 'freedom', but it actually puts more constraints on itself than others. The halfling wanderer said with some disapproval.

'Looks like our wanderers don't like the "free" thieves' guild in Berstow! Is this a rejection of order by a chaotic position? Barrett, who felt it in his heart, shook his head with a wry smile: "It's useless if you don't like it." At least the people who live in the city like it. Just go to the tavern and you'll know that these ordinary civilians even think of them as part of the enforcers. ”

"Such an organization could still be called a thief's guild?" Noodle stuck out his little finger and hooked his nose.

Barrett patted Noodle's head: "Forget it, don't talk about it here." Tell me what kind of news you got. ”

"The royal family has sent troops." Noodle reached out and pushed the fleshy palm off his head.

Barrett was taken aback: "Sent troops?" How could it be so fast? I think it would be impossible for the Etasia royal family to move their troops in such a short period of time! ”

"Mercenaries! Since the regular army is inconvenient. They had to pay to hire the unofficial armed forces. The noodles, who had just pulled his fingers out of his nostrils, immediately began to clean his nails.

"Mercenaries? However, Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" acted very suddenly, and it was impossible for the Ethasia royal family to be prepared. In other words, these mercenaries probably had to come from the nearest independent city to the Kingdom of Aetasia. The narrative on his lips was also a process of inner thought, and Barrett was finally relieved, "It doesn't seem like there's anything to worry about." Maybe wait until the mercenaries arrive. The second reinforcements of the Battle League have reached Port Volta. ”

"Alright! Knowing that this can't fool you. "The noodles spread their hands together," and there was also news that the nobles in the kingdom were very dissatisfied with the royal family's behavior of hiring those war jackals against the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" for no reason. Almost all the territories refused to allow them to cross the border. ”

"Blocking the crossing? In this way, those mercenaries may have to spend a lot of twists and turns to reach the territory of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird". That way, the viscount should be better prepared! Otherwise, will the royal family let those mercenaries go to the water transport? The fleet of the Battle League is not easy to bully. At this point, Barrett finally had a smile on his face.

At this time, the local lords uniformly announced the prohibition of crossing, which is indeed a big killer against the hands of the royal family! If the royal family excludes the regular army in the kingdom. According to the oath signed at the time of the founding of the country, the lords naturally have no reason and ability to stop it.

However, once the target is replaced by those mercenaries who are not rightly named, there will naturally be all kinds of reasons to stop it. And the lack of discipline and frequent disturbance of some mercenaries also made these nobles famous.

Of course, Barrett knew that the so-called prohibition of border crossing could not really prevent these mercenary groups from passing through the territories of the local nobility, because the vast majority of lords did not have the ability to monitor their territories around the clock.

However, after this statement, the mercenaries did not want to fight the private soldiers of the local lord every time they passed through the territory. Then they had to give up the convenient trade routes and go to the wilderness instead. And in order to avoid the patrolling soldiers, in many cases they had to choose the mode of action of day and night.

Noodle stared at Barrett suspiciously and asked, "Barrett, what are you doing so much about that "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount?" We haven't decided to wait until we've completed this mission. Will you leave the Kingdom of Aetasia? Do you still want to go back and support the plan of the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount? ”

"Think about it with your brain. Since the royal family can hire those mercenary groups to deal with the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount. Then of course I don't mind spending a little more money and finding someone to deal with us, the flies who are messing with them. Barrett, with his hands on his chest, lowered his head and looked down at the halfling in front of him, "Do you think this is good news for us in this situation?" ”

"Alright! Good news indeed. Noodle lowered his head.

Barrett touched his chin: "But even if that's the case, we have to speed up our next moves." Who knows what those lords are doing, they can hold them back for a few days. After all, if you want to deal with us. There is no need to send large troops. It was much less difficult for them to pass through the blockade. ”

Barrett, having made his decision, immediately got up and went to the next room and the opposite door. Informed Claudia of her new news and her decision. Auditore, Clematis. Bot and Mr. and Mrs. Rieli.

Of course, if his teammates oppose Barrett's decision made by the captain on his own, he will have to do the psychological work of his teammates one by one. Thankfully, Barrett still seems to have a lot of prestige in the minds of his companions.

"Since it's your decision. I think it's been well thought out! "Claudia. Auditore made a look that he knew Barrett quite well.

Beside her is Clematis. Bot also waved his hand and said, "That's right! Barrett, which of your decisions doesn't make sense. How could we not be at ease. ”

Instead, Rielly first asked Barrett to explain his decision. Frowning and thinking for a while, he finally gave this reply: "You're right, we have to speed up the trip." Hopefully, it's still too late to catch up. ”

As for the catboys. In Rielly's decisions were naturally his. Under the training of many years of leather whip. This guy has become much more docile and docile.

Early the next morning, Barrett hurried to his feet. Wake up your teammates, who are still asleep, and get ready for today's trip. After seeing that everything was arranged, the players immediately walked to the city hall in the north district of the city.

The columns embedded in the wall are strong and powerful, and the foreheads and mountain flowers are rich in layers. The gate composed of leaning pillars and flat pilasters and the two pairs of large cartouches on the top of the door have a slightly mysterious atmosphere. The whole building doesn't feel as solemn as I imagined.

"Please present this certificate to Lord Viscount Ebblewhite, and you will understand our purpose when you see him." Barrett handed the guard in front of the door the "Golden Thorn Bird" crest to prove the identity of his group. Then he stood outside the door in an orderly manner. Waiting for the messenger of the guard in front of him.

The young guard took the card from his hand and flipped through it twice, then handed it to the slightly older companion beside him. The young man's experience was not enough for him to confirm the authenticity of the artifact in front of him.

"Wait a minute! I will go in at once and share your news. As for whether the Viscount is willing to see you, it is not for me to decide. The older guard not only recognized the token in front of him lightly, but also spoke much more tactfully.

"Then bother the gentleman! Even if the Viscount is unwilling to send us, as long as our letter is delivered, it will already be regarded as the completion of the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount's commission. "With the experience of Baron Harrington. Barrett had little expectation that Viscount Ebelwhite would receive his party.

Before the guard turned around and walked through the gates of City Hall, he gave Barrett a "you're really interesting" look.

"It's also the location of the Viscount's office, and the city of Baelstow is much better than the original Port of Walter." Claudia standing in the square in front of the door. Auditore saw that the general situation was settled, and said without any shreddedness.

Feeling that something was wrong, Lalu pulled Claudia. Auditore's coat: "I don't think it's good to discuss this kind of thing at this gate!" In any case, our current identity is the messenger of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird"! ”

"I'm telling the truth! Who let the office of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" be built like that. "Claudia. Auditore, however, didn't feel anything wrong with what he was doing.

However, considering the bad attitude of the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount when he forced the player to serve him before. Claudia. It's understandable that Auditore would have no liking for him.

But when the guard who was left behind in front of him heard this, he looked at Claudia. There was a hint of solemnity in Auditore's eyes, and even his face became strange.

It didn't take long for the guard who had gone to the simultaneous interpretation. Pushed open the door and walked out: "Lord Viscount wants to see you, please tidy up your appearance and follow me in." ”

"You want to see us." This sudden change really surprised players who had already delivered the letter and left. The two ladies in the team turned into a green pine in a moment.

Following the guards in front of them into the town hall, players find that the interior is much more modest compared to the intricate decoration on the outside. Walking here really gives people a sense of majesty and solemnity.

The crowd spiraling up the spiral ladder was soon led by the guards. I came to a mahogany door. The man, who was nearly thirty years old, gave birth to his right hand and tapped the door three times with moderate force. Then he said, "Lord Viscount! I took the six envoys sent by Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" out of the door. ”

"Alright! Invite them in. Then go back to your post! There was a voice from behind the door.

"Yes! My lord! The guard in front of him tapped his chest. Then he pushed open the door and turned to leave.

The first thing players notice when they walk into the house is the 1-foot-tall bunch. and the middle-aged man with a black goatee after Wen Jiàn.

Wait until the players are standing in a row in front of each other. The black-haired, brown-eyed man who was sitting in Yunben also immediately stood up straight, and greeted in his own deep and loud voice, "Welcome to El White, I already know what you are here for." ”

"Already know? Our letter hasn't been delivered yet! "Claudia. Auditore immediately lowered his head and muttered with laughter.

"I wonder if any of you doubt why I understand your intentions even though the letter hasn't been handed over yet." Viscount Ablewhite turned his gaze to Claudia with interest. Auditore, apparently, had heard what she had just said to herself.

Barrett didn't think that the rumors in the tavern were the true nature of the big man in front of him. Barrett, who was a little worried about whether the other party would be angered by this, immediately bowed down and apologized: "I'm very sorry, sir! My companion didn't mean to. ”

Instead, Viscount Ablewhite smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not so stingy as to be angry about this." But this little girl should be careful, although you think that your voice is small, but in the eyes of a powerful professional. Your voice is no worse than a bronze bell that strikes the time. ”

Saying that, Viscount Ablewhite also looked at Claudia kindly. Auditore blinked, and made the not-so-small girl blush. At the same time, Barrett also slightly felt the aura of this Viscount Ebel White that was slightly displayed to everyone--knight.

'War Knight! Is there a Native class above the Black Iron rank (level 10)? Although it is not uncommon in the kingdom of Norhan. But considering that this is the Kingdom of Eetasia, this Viscount Ebbelwhite's own strength is enough to make the royal family fearful. It is no wonder that he has the confidence to support the underground forces in his territory to fight against the royal family. After receiving the information last night, the mystery hidden in Barrett's heart was finally solved. What I didn't understand suddenly suddenly became clear.

The master of the Ebel White Leader in front of him had the same strength as the tall dwarf who had been in the aftermath of the disaster in Port Walter. That alone is enough to tie down the royal agents in your own realm - this is a world where you can speak on your own strength.

"My lord! Whatever you say, we want to deliver this letter safely to you. Barrett pulled out the letter he had hidden from his chest, sealed in wax.

After receiving the letter, Viscount Ebble White casually threw it on the desk behind him: "Don't I know that Christol's abacus?" It's not the content of the letter that matters. It's our attitude of whether or not we are willing to receive letters. ”

"Is that so?" Barrett, who had discovered this blind spot that he had overlooked, nodded immediately - they didn't have time to think about it in their rush to get out of the sea of misery, and then the troubles along the way made the players forget about it.

"If only you understood!" Speaking of this, Viscount Ablewhite stroked his beard. "But I think our reaction in the first two days should be enough to make him understand that we support him!"

Thinking of the news that Noodle had received before, Barrett suddenly realized: "Is the previous declaration of prohibition of entry the response of all adults?" In this way, it seems irrelevant whether or not the next letter is delivered. ”

"No, it won't! We have endured so much along the way, and under the interception of the royal blockers, what is the purpose of breaking out of the encirclement with all kinds of pains? Rielly clasped her hands. Said with a very exaggerated expression.

"Lily! Lily! You don't get excited, don't get excited. The cat boy on the side immediately skillfully stretched out his meat paws and comforted his "owner".

However, at this time, Barrett quickly reacted from his previous state of sudden realization: "My lord! I guess you have some intention in saying this to us! Do you want us to give up on delivering the remaining letters? ”

"Nope! I'm not asking you to abandon the rest of your trip. On the contrary, I hope that you will be able to complete your task. Because then you can move on. The royal family may be misled by your actions. This is the action of that guy from Christol. It should be more favorable. Viscount Ebble White said, looking at the players.

"Misleading? Is it more beneficial to the action of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird"? Is it to make the royal family think that we have a further mission? Barrett frowned when he heard this.

"Yes! If that's the case. Able to buy more time for that guy in Christol. It could also be a distraction for the royal family. But you, who are bait. The risks are likely to increase as well. Viscount Ebourwhite, who had returned to his seat, took out a piece of paper and said.

"Let's play the role of bait? I don't think we're qualified right now. And we are not related to you, Lord Viscount, why do you point out the kind of problem that we are about to face now! Barrett frowned, as if waiting for an explanation from the Viscount of Ablewhite in front of him.

However, Barrett also knew that the viscount had no obligation to explain clearly to his party. In fact, his previous reminder has already helped the players a lot.

"Because of your last name! The relationship between the Boreham family and our Ablewhite family is good. Saying that, Viscount Ebel White put down the text in his hand and smiled, "Besides, I only paid a few minutes to send a warning to the descendants of the close family. ”

"That's when it's time to be in this situation. If we continue to deliver letters, is it possible that we will have a very strong interception force? Or is it possible that they will find a reason to be publicly wanted by us in the Kingdom of Ethasia? With that, Barrett turned his gaze to the team behind him.

After all, the next mission is very dangerous, and players may pay the price of the resurrection stone. But if you give up the mission here, the eighth achievement of the small regional story mission of the second chapter of the wing-flapping "Golden Thorn Bird" will be invalidated. Even if it is not invalidated, the basis of the completion will definitely be minimized.

What's more, after completing the first chapter of this quest, players did not choose to redeem the huàn rewards, but instead accumulated the rewards in the second chapter. In this case, the task will be invalidated. Players are losing a lot of money.

"It's not necessarily a strong interception, it's just a possibility. It depends on what the royal family officials think, but it is by no means impossible that you will be publicly wanted. Don't forget that you are now Christol's envoys, and if the royal family does, it will be an open break with us, the local powerhouses of the Kingdom of Aetasia. Viscount Ebble White smiled slightly smugly, "Such a price." The royal family can't afford it. ”

"In other words, you're just looking at the family friendship between the two sides, right?" Barrett nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right! After all, you're only a side branch of the Boreham family, and I wouldn't have wasted my strength if it weren't for my own talent that the Earl valued me. Viscount Ebel White said as a matter of course.

Barrett understood the attitude of the person in front of him: "Thank you very much for your prompt. We'll go back and think about our trip. ”

"If it's okay, you can go! That's right! Don't let that guy Kristol know what I just said to you. Viscount Ablewhite specifically reminded.

Players leaving the town hall, look at me and I'll look at you. In the end, it was Rielly who took the lead: "What are you afraid of!" Anyway, we still have a lot of resurrections left! Wealth and danger are sought! ”

"Do you think so too?" Barrett turned his gaze to his companion behind him, and seemed to have received an equally positive answer.
