As the main intellectuals in the team, Rielly is particularly sensitive to things that she doesn't know. She stared at Barrett curiously and asked, "The Wall of the End flag?" It's such a quirky name. But Barrett, since you know this, tell us what exactly is the Wall of End? ”

"The Wall of End?" Barrett looked up at the blue sky through the window in the room, and his voice became a little erratic: "The Wall of the End is the most representative border system of the Old Empire. This stretch of the Great Wall includes city walls, watchtowers, forts and castles, passes, etc. Of course, there are also the soldiers who defended the old empire, and the merchants and service workers who depend on them for their livelihood......"

Before the Wall of Destruction was erected, the old empire had already gone through hundreds of years of foreign wars, and the expansion of its territory had already been largely completed. Under the constraints of transportation and communications, it became more difficult to conduct wars in remote areas, and the outcome of the war became more unpredictable. Also for communication and management reasons, the newly occupied areas are more difficult to stabilize and less profitable.

Moreover, the overexpansion of the hesitant empire forced it to face its own dangers - its internal operation was slow, and it was difficult to communicate government decrees in a timely manner. Under the conditions of the time, it was not easy to maintain such a large empire. Therefore, the consul at that time ordered the cessation of foreign expansion and began to seek peace with the outside world. It was in this context that the Wall of the End was built.

The Wall of the End is named after the End. At the time, it was clear that the Empire was using it as a line of defense to defend its homeland. Inside the Great Wall, there are educated "civilized people", and outside the Great Wall, there are "barbarians". In fact, the 50 years before and after the construction of the Wall of the End were the most powerful times of the Old Empire.

"The line of defense from the old imperial era? Does this mean that this magical artifact was used by the army guarding the Wall of the End at that time? Rielly seemed to understand something.

Barrett nodded: "In addition to its own huge complex, there are also a large number of guards in the Wall of End. According to the records, the heavy cavalry in it charged and shocked the world. With their well-trained horses and the superior horsemanship of their cavalry, they were able to charge in tight formations, transforming into a frenzy of horses' hooves and steel, a striking force that had crushed countless enemy armies on all fronts. In a lot of the time. The Heavy Cavalry squad only needs to be present on the battlefield to tip the balance of the war weight in their favor. And this set of Final Wall banners was a must-have legional artifact for every heavy cavalry regiment at that time. ”

"You just said a set of three! But there was only one of them in this box. "Claymatis. Bot asked, impatiently, "Barrett, can you be sure which of them is this?" ”

"Which one and not which one?" Barrett looked at Clematis. Bot shook his head, "The banners of the Wall of the End series were standard equipment during the Old Empire. That is, it was mass-manufactured at that time. Although the old empire has collapsed for hundreds of years, countless strange things have been turned to dust by the corrosion of time. However, the Wall of Death banner has always been favored by those in power because of its extraordinary tactical value. With good maintenance, many of them have been handed down. ”

"Alright! All right! I'm not a Golden-Eyed Messenger yet, and it's too late for me to understand this kind of thing after I'm advanced. "Speaking of which, Klematis. Bot urged again, "Now you're going to make sure what kind of flag this thing is?"

"Okay!" After saying this, Barrett grabbed the flagpole. Shake off the banner that had been rolled up and placed in the box. I don't know what material the royal blue flag is woven from, and it actually shows a metallic luster with a wave-like roll. And the golden coat of arms printed on this flag is full of three-dimensionality, as if the created badge is inlaid on it.

Then he said with great certainty: "This is a haven of shelter, which protects the hearts of the soldiers from supernatural powers. The banner of the 'Tribal Front' is embroidered with a string of fangs that have been trampled underfoot. Because at that time, the enemies faced by the Wall of Final were mainly the tribes of the Savage Land. But they can't go any further than the Wall of End, and that's the final front line for their actions......"

Having said this, Barrett took a breath as he re-rolled up the flag in his hand. Then the final explanation began: "As for the wall of the scorching sun! Imprinted on it is a set of winding walls shrouded in the sun. At that time, the Helios Church was at its most prosperous, because the slogan before the empire stopped expanding was to make the land of the empire wherever the sun shines. The line of defense defended by the scorching sun must be impregnable. ”

"15,000 gold?" Claymatis. Bot reached out and touched the flag, "Compared to the others, it does look worthy of this price!" ”

"15,000 gold coins is right!" Barrett, who put the flag back in the box, scratched his head. "But this price is the price of internal friendship between lords! It is almost impossible for such a strange thing to be left outside. After all, they are too important and too strong for clan operations. ”

That's right, the description of the group battle rules in this strange object has made an astonishing leap in its value. The so-called group battle refers to large-scale wars between nations, intended to replace adventurers and mercenary squads in small-scale dog fights. A sheltered harbor in that environment not only protects the morale of your own soldiers, but also brings that morale together to hasten the collapse of the enemy – and eventually their escape.

The so-called rout is the disorderly and chaotic retreat of the army after it has been routed on the battlefield. This is often the result of fear or suppression by a strong enemy, and even when regrouped, many fleeing armies often refuse to fight for a short time. For a battle, the rout of one side often means that the winner has been decided.

Hearing this, Clematis. Bot's eyes lit up again: "In other words, the actual price of this thing is far above 15,000 gold coins!" ”

"That's right! However, the Wall of the End is contraband. In other words, there is basically no possibility of us getting rid of it. And if I use it myself, it won't be able to fully exert its proper effect. But at this point, Barrett immediately gave Clematis. Bot poured cold water on him.

"Barrett, do you mean you're going to turn it over to the Boreham family?" Rielly immediately understood Barrett's words.

Barrett, who cast his gaze at the mage, nodded: "That's right! That's how I intended it. And the Boreham family has always been generous. Although we will not make a lot of money on this transaction, we can also have a small subsidy. Strange things that don't help you much, in exchange for equipment that can greatly increase combat power, don't you think it's a good deal? ”

"It's Barrett, you earned it yourself. We don't have a problem with how we want to arrange it. But then Rieley suddenly looked at Barrett with a wicked smile. But don't you think it's strange that the Malkins are giving this artifact as a reward? You must know that the other two strange things they have prepared are very suitable for you to use, Barrett. How did it come to the most expensive one, but there was such an obvious omission. ”

Claymatis on the side. Bott clapped his hands: "Lily, do you mean that the Malkin family is clearly giving Barrett a reward, but in fact, they are taking this opportunity to send this wall of the Final Wall banner to the Boreham family." ”

"It's a possibility!" Barrett frowned at this time. "But Rieli, you're not right when you say I earned it myself. Because of this martial arts, all of our blood-stained gray flower members have taken risks! So I'll see if I can use it to get something out of my family for a few of you. ”

"Although that task caused a lot of trouble for the team. But I don't want to get something for nothing. "Claymatis. Bot walked over to Barrett and patted him on the shoulder, "If there's a strange thing for me." Then I'll be ready for credits. ”

"What a stubborn person!" Barrett, who shook his shoulders and got up, emphasized before walking out of the room: "Guys are here to watch our treasures. I'm going to see when I'll be able to get the Knight of Ovaltine to come to the Merchant House. I'm not comfortable handing it over to anyone else. ”

"You can go in peace! There are a few of us here, but no one can steal them. The halfling wanderer said as he played with his dagger.

Barrett, who had left the house, heard this voice: "Before the accident appears. Who knows! ”

Barrett quickly made his way to the lobby of the Merchant House, where he found the steward in charge of the building, and asked him to inform the Knights of Ovaltine, who lived in the Inner City, that the players were looking for him urgently. Of course, Barrett played a trick on this matter, and did not say the specific reason. It's not that he doesn't believe in the chamber of commerce in front of him, but he is worried that the wall has ears in the turbulent environment in front of him.

Fortunately, the Ovaltine knights didn't seem to be tied up by anything during this time. In the evening of that year, he came to the merchant house. And Barrett got straight to the point and said what he was looking for him this time.

Hearing this, Knight Ovaltine was slightly stunned, and then patted his thigh and asked, "I didn't expect this to be fundamentally different from what I thought before!" I thought you were here to ask me how I was going to deal with the next trouble! ”

"Then you know the identity of the Lucia!" Hearing this, Barrett immediately left his original purpose behind him this time.

Knight Ovaltine nodded: "I know a little bit." Suffice it to say now, Barrett, you kid did a great job this time. Yesterday, many of those 'cupboards' were so angry that they smashed dishes at home! ”

"Alright! Looks like my actions have brought you quite a bit of joy! But I'm in big trouble myself, so can you, Knight, help me solve this crisis? Barrett, who seized the opportunity, immediately began to hit the snake.

However, the Ovaltine knights obviously did not intend to let Barrett get his way: "No! Junior's problems are solved by themselves. Of course, we'll do our best to keep that guy from using other powers to get you in trouble. But that's about it. ”

"Does the other forces include his guards?" Barrett began to ask cautiously.

This time, the Ovaltine Cavaliers still didn't give Barrett any good news: "No! We just stopped the 25 boys in China from helping each other in this matter. If that guy and the guards he brought with him come to the door, you'll have to solve the problem yourself. ”

"That's not right! I'm on official business this time! Shouldn't the fiefdom lord's side solve the trouble caused by this? Barrett grumbled angrily.

The Ovaltine Knight looked at Barrett with a smile on his face: "Young people just need a little pressure to grow up quickly. I don't think those guys can threaten your lives if you're careful. Don't forget that this is 'Ulrique', and even if you are at a disadvantage, if you hold on for a while, the city guards will be able to arrive quickly. ”

"It looks like there's no other option." Barrett shrugged helplessly, "So my first question, can an adult actually answer me?" What was my opponent that day in Lucia? ”

"Honestly. I don't know exactly who he is. But that guy's identity is not simple, but it is certain. Speaking of this, Knight Ovaltine showed a slightly embarrassed expression, "It seems that we have been a little lax in our intelligence work on Lucia's side over the years!" ”

"Anyway, what if he dies in 'Ulrique' in the next conflict with me?" Barrett asked through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Knight Ovaltine frowned, and then could only shake his head: "When the time comes, we will find a way to send you out of the city and prevent the appearance of the wanted warrant." But whether or not you can return to Boreham in the end is up to you. ”

"Is it as if the clubhouse needs to spare his life if it is possible?" Barrett let out a long sigh.

Knight Ovaltine also looked helpless, "Although killing that guy will make those 'cupboards' suffer a lot, you don't need to put yourself in it." That's all I have to say. ”

"That's it! Let's not talk about this depressing topic. Barrett shook his head and immediately changed the subject, "About the Wall of the End flag." How the family is going to recycle. (To be continued.) )
