It's fair to say that the delicious mushrooms from the woods around Walter are the only specialties in this port town. It also gave rise to a large group of hunters in the town of Walter.

With the permission of Viscount Christol, they live by harvesting wild animals and plants from forests and fields. This is also considered by the world to be a proof of the benevolence of Lord Christol, Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird.

After all, in this world, the forest is the property of the lord, and the output of the forest is naturally marked with all the marks of the lord. In most places, if a commoner wanted to collect firewood from the groves under the lord's name, he had to pay a royalty more or less before the lord grazed his livestock in the fields.

Not to mention hunting in the woods - in case all the prey is run out of you mud-legged men. How can the hunting meeting of the noble lords be held? The profession of ranger was created by the lords to deal with poachers who entered their estate.

It is conceivable that the hunting permit signed by Viscount Christol at the beginning of spring every year will make many hunters who take this as their body grateful to Dade - of course, we must also exclude some arrogant people.

And the reason why that guy can have his current net worth is mostly due to the pigsty on the edge of his dock area. This guy's family craft is capable of breeding Walterry's best truffle pigs, and every year Che brings back those marbled 'black gems' for him......," Nicole looked at him with her pupils like a silver coin Barrett had given.

At the top of the pyramid is the Truffle Hunter with the Truffle Pig, followed by the Mushroom Hunter with a special hound looking for mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms and straw mushrooms. After renting, they are fungus hunters who use their experience to find mushrooms or fungus.

Barrett, who was a little thoughtful, touched the bridge of his nose: "Such a ranking is measured according to the value of the goods they collect?" ”

"That's right! You must know that the aristocratic lords' love for truffles has reached the point of approaching madness. This mountain delicacy is now more than just an ingredient. Rather, it is a stepping stone to the social channels of the upper class. And the slightly inferior shiitake mushrooms are also the hearts of those big people who come to the country for vacation. Nicole craned her neck and leaned toward Barrett and said, "Even the cheapest fungus." It is often possible to get a higher price than prey such as black-tailed deer. ”

"Then I don't think that gentleman should worry too much about his business being affected. After all, Walter's mountain goods are basically digested within the Kingdom of Etasia! Even if the disruption of sea freight is caused by this, it should not affect him much. Barrett reached out and stroked Nicole's head, hiding a silver coin behind her ear, and gently scraping the girl's earlobe with his little finger.

Nicole, who straightened up again, gently pushed Barrett's big hand away, and then skillfully withdrew the silver coin behind her ear and said with a smile: "Who made this businessman suddenly have the idea of joining the shipping industry some time ago!" If he honestly guarded the mountain goods trade inherited by his family, he wouldn't have been as nervous as he is today. ”

"Oh! Did that gentleman invest a lot in sea freight? Barrett was immediately interested. He took the initiative to close the distance between him and the brown-skinned girl in front of him.

I don't know if it's because of the effect of the extra silver coin that Barrett just gave. Nicole drank the clear liquid from the goblet and her cheeks flushed: "Yes! That guy has invested a lot in this time. As you should know, you know, that while the maritime trade will bring very impressive profits in the future, the upfront investment will also be very large. That Mr. Christian. In the past few months, he has invested a considerable amount of resources in 66 consecutive years, if it weren't for the accumulation of his family for several generations, he would have been unable to make ends meet on his own. But even so, if the trade can't be carried out normally, that guy's current business is probably in danger of breaking the capital chain. ”

"Listen to you, it seems that there are quite a few people in Walter Town waiting for that Mr. Crirpien's bad luck." Barrett touched his chin with a wicked grin.

There was a hint of sarcasm on Nicole's face: "It's natural, as long as that guy's capital chain is easy to break." The mountain merchants in Walter Town would have pounced on him like sharks that smelled of blood. The truffle pig training method that Christian mastered alone has been coveted by those merchants for a long time. That's the price of that fat man stepping into a new industry without preparation. I don't know how many people are waiting to eat meat from him! ”

"You can't say that! After all, from another point of view, that Mr. Crispian can be regarded as extremely aggressive. Barrett shook his finger, "And according to you." He didn't put all the money into it all at once, but spent months preparing it slowly. That is, investment in maritime trade. The busty gentleman clearly had a complete plan of his own. It's just that his luck is a little worse and he has encountered some irresistible factors, isn't it? ”

The bartender behind the bar seemed to hear Barrett and Nicole's conversation, and when he walked up to the two, he interjected, "But if he had done his duty, I don't think he would have encountered such an irresistible factor!" ”

Barrett, who was leaning his elbows on the table, looked at the man in front of him, who was at most twenty-five or sixteen years old. There was a great sense of what he finally said and his age—like a young old man who was not old and decrepit.

"Do you just like to live the same life? Haven't you thought about becoming a Venerable Master and enjoying a life that you could only watch others enjoy before? Barrett looked at the bartender in front of him with a smirk, "At the very least, you should have dreamed of opening your own tavern!" ”

"Here comes your brandy on the rocks, sir." The tall 'dwarven' manager reappeared on the counter, holding a funnel-shaped goblet in his wide palm.

Place the brandy covered in a thin layer of ice on the counter in front of Barrett. The tall 'dwarf' manager blew his beard at Barrett, "Please don't influence my clerks with the gambling mentality of you adventurers. You know, at Walter, it's not easy to own your own property. ”

"In other words, in addition to money, do you need to have the ability to keep your own property like you, the shopkeeper?" Barrett pinched the corner of his cup and lifted his drink.

The tall 'dwarf' store manager nodded: "So to speak! My size alone would save the tavern a fair amount of trouble. And I haven't put down all the skills I practiced during adventures in the early years! ”

Although the tall 'dwarf' store manager in front of him has made his tone and expression as natural as possible. But Barrett still felt an almost instinctive wariness in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you, Mr. manager, to have such an experience as ours! I don't know if I can give me a latecomer like this. Tell us about your heroic deeds! After Barrett finished. I used the tip of my tongue to drink this glass of cold wine.

"A fart of valor?" The tall 'dwarven' shopkeeper blew his beard again. "Not to mention the wind and rain, the battles encountered in the field have left a body of incurable pain. What's more, even if you use your life to gamble, it is not a profession that can get rich. If it weren't for this tavern left by the family elders, I'm afraid I would have to work as a porter on the docks by now. ”

"Alright! All right! I know your attitude. As he said this, Barrett had a different thought in his heart: 'It seems that the person in front of him is quite sensitive to temptation!' The story behind this is by no means as simple as what he just revealed! ’

Just as Barrett was in the tavern trying to learn more about this temporary location. The wharves of Port Volter, as usual, began to be gradually shrouded in a faint mist.

This layer of mist, which crept down, obscured the moonlight like water. The watchmen in the lighthouse and the guards on the sailboat could not see what was going on in the distance. Originally, the sea breeze with a kind of wanton wind in this season gradually stopped at this time.

The sea breeze at night is especially strong on the pier. It seems to be able to ignore the obstruction of the ship's side and deck. This kind of cold and wet air flow poured directly down the hatch, and a young and strong seaman who was not paying attention and could even penetrate went to the herbalist for help.

So when it stopped, a seafarer on the sailboat who kept stamping his feet with his hands on his shoulders to keep warm immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This damn knife wind has finally stopped." The principality is really freezing to death! It seems that Lao Tzu's luck is really good! When it was my turn to eat the wind on the boat, the wind stopped on its own. ”

And the cessation of the sea breeze also makes the scene of silk fluttering in the original harbor like a silk that can be entered every night no longer show in front of the eyes of the world tonight. The mist alone filled the pier, and here it was like falling clouds. The furnishings on the docks have become hazy and unreal. I don't know which merchant ship the black cat crawled down from, appearing and disappearing in this cloud. Jumping happily, it began its journey to 6 places.

At the same time, the sea was rough at night, and the wind was still blowing on the sea less than a nautical mile from the port, rolling up the waves. Here, the dense shark fins continue to cut through the rolling waves.

On the backs of this staggering number of sharks, several sakho fish wearing pearl coral crowns are arguing excitedly about something. The other fishman, who held a metal scepter in his hand, watched coldly. And the other few Sawa Fishmen holding the Holy Emblem. At this time, he was holding his holy emblem with his eyes closed, silently praying for something.

As the argument ended, the few sakuras wearing pearl coral crowns waved their hands. The rough sea was boiling and tumbling. A moment passes. The churning of the sea finally stopped. In this way, a one-of-a-kind Sawa Fishman appeared on the surface of the sea, not far from Port Walter.

Carrying their weapons on their backs and swinging their limbs, they swam towards the docks of Port Volter. It seems that these Sawa fishmen are no longer satisfied with the merchant ships that come and go with the attack. Unknown whether it was to please the Shrine or to intimidate humans, these ugly amphibians began to emerge like marching ants towards the human colony of Port Walter.

At this time, the port of Walter was a scene of ice and fire. The aristocratic district and the municipal district are singing and dancing, the dock area is full of demons, and the civilian area is always under the threat of criminals.

Most of the city guards under the control of "Gray Wolf Baron" Broadley were already asleep at this time. Only a few dozing guards remained at the guard post and at the checkpoint to keep an eye on the situation in the docks. Prevent people from making trouble here.

The degree of fish-man in the water is by no means comparable to that of humans. Even sailboats can only escape their hunt if they have a tailwind. It is less than a nautical mile from the original meeting point to the port terminal. They don't actually take much time.

Soon, the trident and spear-wielding mat creatures climbed up to the harbor in front of them, which was open to them tonight.

Not only the small dock, but Walter's original port facilities could not accommodate such a large school of mermaids at one time. They are more often on the 6 places on the beach of Guò seaside.

The faint mist was stirred by their sheer numbers, and the group of fishmen were like devils rushing out of the mist, and began to trample frantically on this barely fertile land. This gives the amphibians who can see clearly in front of them in the dark of night, and they bend over to minimize the possibility of their exposure.

The fishmen who boarded 6 on the pier abandoned the large sailing boats parked in the dock and headed for the densely populated city of Walter. And the fishmen who boarded 6 on the beach swam across the river, which was the administrative watershed of Walter, and seemed to swim in the direction of the aristocratic quarter.

"Poof—poof—" After two sounds. The unsuspecting guard on the watchtower of the pier covered the javelin hand of the dead and the Sawah Fishman. And the important thing is that the impact of the fish-man javelin caused him to fall inward, not out of the lookout. Such a change was accompanied by the cover of mist, and it was not actually seen by the seafarers who remained on the sailing ship.

After using the same tactics to deal with the guards at the gate of the fence, the fishmen entered the commercial street in the docklands. This is this time, these guys are not in a hurry to rush forward. Under the command of the armored fish-man leaders, these sticky creatures with wet and slimy bodies carefully surrounded a shop in the far corner of the business district.

A cold light flashed, and the door lock of the shop was cut off by the blade in the fishman's hand. The greedy robbers swarmed through the open gate, and in an instant there was a cacophony of voices in the shop.

Unfortunately, this shop is too far from the center of the crowd. The shop, pù, which was close to the wall of the pier, was extremely remote, and he dealt in supplies and consumables for the ships. Naturally, it closes its doors in the evenings and is excluded from the nightlife of Port Volter.

The Shahua fish, who solved the family, rarely did not start to loot property. Occasionally, a few fishmen who can't control their hands and feet are also under the threat of a burst of 'uniform' fishman leaders. Reluctantly, he held the weapon in his hand and left.

Suddenly, the outer periphery of the aristocratic quarter, which had already fallen into darkness, lit up a fire! The pillar of light that rushed into the sky. It's reminiscent of champagne gushing out, or a volcano venting its anger.

With the appearance of this pillar of red fire that illuminated the night sky, the sparkling flames suddenly spread in the aristocratic district. They are like beacons, sending a message to their fellow citizens about the danger of an invasion.

In less than a few seconds, the bell tower in the center of the aristocratic district remembered the rapid and fierce sound of the bell. Awakened by the sound of the bell, the aristocratic privates jumped up from their resting beds, and then quickly prepared for battle. They sheathed their swords, picked up their longbows and quivers, and even pressed their crossbows into the firing slots. At the same time, others were ready to start preparing their armor and shields.

The first to come into contact with the fish people were the light infantry patrolling the perimeter of the aristocratic quarter. But even the patrols, under the sacrifice of the nobles, are a group of experienced veterans against the enemy. The fishmen drew their swords at their waists to form a formation, and at the same time sounded the siren on their chests and retreated towards the nearest stronghold.

As the alarm appeared in the aristocratic district, the pedestrians coming and going on the streets of the dock area were instantly chaotic. The sudden sound of the alarm bell leaves people who are enjoying the nightlife scratching their heads. After all, this alarm has not been sounded a few times since the port was established, and the vast majority of people have heard it for the first time. For these aborigines, who don't even know about its existence, let alone discuss what it means.

However, a few well-established shops also burned braziers on the top, and the alarm bells in the docks also sounded. They seem to be intent on leaving the intruders unprotected from the shadows in this way. At the same time, the chamber of commerce in the city has also begun to regroup, although their actions are not as good as those soldiers in the noble district, but they are also a group of experienced veterans.

Now that the action has been exposed, the people of Shahua Fish have not stopped doing anything, and have given up their original sneaky actions. This group of monsters with steel forks in their hands and mouths wide open to seize the opportunity of chaos in the crowd. Charged at the lamb and the food in their eyes.

And the already chaotic crowd on the commercial street in the dock area after seeing these hideous-looking and vicious fishmen. It's like a headless fly. They scrambled towards the center of the town, trying to escape as much as possible from the dangers of the monsters in front of them.

In their opinion, it doesn't matter if they can't outrun those monsters, as long as they run faster than the people around them, there are naturally people who can become their own stepping stones to escape. It's a pity that they don't know that the chaos caused by this way of fighting for their lives is far more dangerous than the Sawa fish people they saw.

"Plop-" One of the aborigines on the run accidentally tripped over something on the ground. Struggling to get up, he was immediately trampled back to the ground by the escapees who rushed up from behind. The Toucher, whose chest touched the ground again, struggled, subconsciously grabbing the stomper's ankle.

The sudden restraining on his ankle disrupted the stampeder's balance in an instant. Then he made a difficult brother with the person he had stepped on before. This situation continued to occur under the darkness of night, and the originally surging crowd scattered and fled in an instant. They are surrounded by adventurers who are trying to resist the invasion of the fishmen. Disappear a weak line of defense that could have been built.

In the aristocratic quarter, the fishmen who climbed 6 appeared after fighting the first guards. Waiting for them next are elite troops armed to the teeth. Appearing are sword and shield bearers armed with heavy wooden shields, adopting a standard defensive combat stance, attracting the attention of the enemy while also covering the attacks of their companions.

Behind them, hidden are heavily armed swordsmen with sharp blades, these rampaging killing machines are especially suitable for assault fighters, and greatswords are their standard equipment.

On either side of the sword and shield men are the planners with long weapons such as spears and halberds, and they are mainly responsible for pressing the opponent's path, covering the sword and shield hands, and supporting the assault charge by the way.

Behind the striker, however, are a large number of ranged firefighters, whose bows and arrows serve as a cover, harassment and weakening of the enemy.

Barrett, on the other hand, who heard the alarm bell, immediately understood his current situation, and when he rushed out of the tavern, he saw a mess in the street. Thankfully, because he missed the initial chaos, Barrett didn't have to deal with the crowds.

Swinging his wrists like a cloud, the heavy giant Mo knife seemed to have lost its weight. It followed the fingertips of its elbows and wrists, flew over obstacles like a butterfly, flashed through the throats of its abusers, and harvested the lives of the sea.

It seems to be just the most ordinary two-handed swordsmanship, but the high swordsmanship skills of the user are displayed in front of everyone, showing the beautiful art of killing!

Originally, it seemed to be a bulldozer-like charge, but it managed to enter the middle with no thickness - the jungle made of pieces of knives and halberds, not contaminated with dust, leaving only fear.

Faster! Higher! Stronger! Like a tiger out of a stream, there is no lack of ingenuity in the swiftness. He sneered back and forth with the blade, and went in and out with ease in the halberd forest.

Wrists, ankles, waist ......, every slight move of the opponent slightly changes the linkage of each muscle of Barrett, predicting the most appropriate behavior. This battle-hardened warrior was ready from the start to stifle any hope of resistance from his opponent. (To be continued!)
