Chapter Twenty-Seven: Jumping Out of the Whirlpool

Modify the wording. The update is the fastest, and I thank the "Clear Night Starry Sky" for the big monthly pass.

Mr. Kinnear was stunned for a moment, and then nodded helplessly: "The elders of the clan have indeed unanimously agreed to postpone the upcoming martial arts meeting. After all, in the current situation, it is really unwise to consume materials and experience in such a thing......"

Although the next words were not explicitly stated, Barrett also understood what the other party meant. If the clan to which the 'Ishuling Caravan' belongs can survive the current crisis, then it is okay to hold such a fighting meeting whenever they want in the future. If the clan to which the 'Ishuling Caravan' belonged disappeared into the long river of history because of this, then there would naturally be no meaning in fighting for power or anything -- the struggle for power and profit also depends on the situation, and it is clear that it has reached a life-and-death juncture, but not many ruling classes will not see the situation clearly like the group of Donglin gentry at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Then it looks like I've come for nothing this time!" Barrett shook his head and said, "In that case, then I'll take my leave." If we have the opportunity in the future, I hope we will be able to meet again. ”

Seeing Barrett's attitude of being ready to leave, Mr. Kinnear immediately became anxious: "Mr. Boreham, please wait a minute!" You come and go in a hurry like this, and in the eyes of people outside, I am afraid that we will misunderstand that our 'Camel Bell Caravan' does not understand hospitality. And if the people above know the words, it will be difficult for me to do it. ”

"But since the martial arts meeting is not held as scheduled, it seems that I have no reason to continue to stay at the 'Ishu Bell Caravan' station." Speaking of this, Barrett moved his neck, "After all, my teammates are still waiting for my return on the west side of the continent, so it's better not to let them wait too long." ”

However, in this case, as the steward of the caravan station, Mr. Kinnear is naturally unwilling to give up the powerful combat power at his fingertips: "What if we pay to hire you!" We, the Camel Bell Caravan, are willing to pay you a fortune to keep our clan safe. ”

'Finally, the dagger has been exhausted. But I don't want to get involved in this kind of large-scale religious war right now! When you don't have the strength, in the face of this kind of extremely risky employment commission, it is better to go with 36 strategies. Barrett, who had already made a decision in his heart, shook his head: "Mr. Kinnear, since you understand what the current situation is, you should also be aware of the risks you need to take to stay in the future." I felt that in this situation, it was the right choice for me to leave the Pamirs. ”

"Won't you listen to what we're offering?" Mr. Kinnear asked, frowning.

Barrett shook his head: "Is there any reward for me that is more important than my own life?" And can you really decide how much to pay for hiring a Champion of the Red Iron rank? ”

"Red Iron Rank Professional." Mr. Kinnear, who was thinking about this, seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He looked at Barrett with some surprise and asked, "Have you already broken through?" ”

"That's the main purpose of my coming to the Pamirs. Otherwise, do you think any man would take the initiative to get to Miss Freya's side? Barrett rightly said.

From the information that Mr. Kinnear had received before, Barrett's real value lay in his potential rather than his own strength. Although he is at the peak of the limestone, with his near-master combat skills, he can deal with many enemies who are far above him. But if he fails to break through the rank, he must also have his inevitable limitations, so the price of employment is naturally negotiable.

But Mr. Kinnear definitely didn't expect it. In less than a month after Barrett was out of the limelight, he had completed the insurmountable obstacle of Native recognition - and while this was a very obvious player benefit, it took a lot of sweat and hard work to get the abilities he wanted.

When Barrett broke through to the Red Iron Rank, it was completely different. No matter where it is on the Western Continent, a professional of this strength is qualified to accept the basic courtesies of a lord. In the same way, the price of wanting to hire them will naturally rise.

What's more, Mr. Kinnear is not sure. Barrett's own combat skills were already close to the master's level, and he also broke through with this level of advancement. If that's the case, what kind of price should he pay if he has the ability to threaten the existence of the Black Lead Rank? Mr. Kinnear doesn't have any bottom in his heart!

After all, when it comes to the black lead rank, the professionals of this class are often already members of the notification class. Under the circumstance that the ideas of learning literature, martial arts, and the imperial family are still mainstream on the mainland, the number of black lead rank professionals who are outside the major forces is naturally very rare. What's more, their well-known remuneration is not as simple as money - usually in exchange for something spectacular, or some other profit.

After seeing Mr. Kinnear's uncertain expression, Barrett smiled and said, "I originally came here just to fulfill my promise to Mr. Alexa. Now that the previous conditions are no longer valid, let's wait until the martial arts meeting is about to start and find a way to inform me! ”

After saying this, Barrett got up and left the tent directly, and the moment he lifted the curtain and stepped out of the tent, he also activated the teleportation rune that the family mage had given him before coming to Pamir. Then, just like the long-distance teleportation he had come, Barrett felt a whirlwind of the heavens spinning again. This time it was a bump even with Barrett's physique. I also feel that my internal organs are about to be displaced because of this.

At the moment when his legs hit the ground, he was greeted by the damp breath that had not been seen for a long time. The fishy and salty currents of the sea are very different from the hot air in the Pamir Desert that resembles a hot air next to a hearth—the comfort cloak can keep the user at a temperature, but it has little effect on the humidity in the air.

Barrett reopened his eyes and found that the location he was in was not the stone chamber with the magic circle when he traveled to the Pamir Desert before. If you look up, you will see the clear blue sky, and when you look down, you will see the soft turquoise grass. Turning around, not far away, you can even see round sheep munching on ruminant forage.

"Something seems wrong! Could it be that there is something wrong with the teleportation? The first thought that crossed Barrett's mind was this. He immediately dismissed his thoughts, 'If I'm not mistaken, this place should also belong to Boreham's territory!' It's just that it's hard to say how far it is from Poitou. ’

There might be a teleportation rune that could go straight back to Fort Boream, but that thing was clearly not within Barrett's reach. Otherwise, with Barrett's current strength, the real enemy of the Boreham family wants to take the runes from him. In most people's eyes, it's just a bit of a trick. If that were the case, the teleportation rune, which would have been easy to use, would have become a Trojan horse. Clearly, such a risk is not in the interests of the Boreham family.

It is precisely because of his understanding of his family's thoughts that Barrett is not very worried about his situation. And since there are free-range sheep here. In other words, there must be people in the vicinity. Determined, Barrett strolled down a yellow trail that had been pressed out of the woods. This must be pointing to nearby settlements.

Walking through the paths, the tender green wheat seedlings on both sides of the road and the dark green vegetable gardens are neatly and carefully intertwined. The buds of alfalfa weave all over the fields. The scent of earth and grass swept in the breeze that was impossible to experience in the desert before—even the smell of burnt in the oasis still overshadowed everything.

As he walked, Barrett finally saw a figure in his eyes, and the lords with hoes and shovels were clearing the ditches with some silt. In this scorching sun. They were shirtless, revealing their bronzed skin and tendons, and their sweat swept through the air to reflect a rainbow of brilliance.

Relatively. The girls in sight wrapped themselves tightly in thick linen. The cone-shaped hat on the head became a shade for the sun—between the stuffy and the dark-skinned, the ladies who loved beauty chose the former.

"Which manor is this Boreham Territory?" Far away, Barrett tore at his throat and roared.

One by one, the natives who heard the sound stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to Barrett, who was still a little away. But then an older man who seemed to be playing the role of the leader suddenly asked, "Is it an adult who is out on a mission?" Can you show me your teleportation rune? ”

'Yo! It doesn't seem like it's the first time they've met me! Determined, Barrett swept the rune, which had lost its lustre, and then brandished it to speed up his pace.

The leading man who took the rune touched the texture on it, and after checking his memory, he immediately returned it to Barrett: "Okay, sir!" This is Clemency Manor, which is owned by Boreham Territory, so if you don't mind, you can stay here for the first night. Wait until early tomorrow morning to hit the road with the wagons carrying fresh food. ”

"Clemency Manor? It seems that there is still some distance to walk to Poitu on my legs. Barrett, who was touching his own bar, recalled the relevant memories in his mind, and had no choice but to nod: "In that case." Please arrange for someone to take me back to Zhuangzi! I used to live mainly in Shafir, and I really don't know how to get around in Boreham except for a few big cities! ”

"Don't worry! Your Excellency, just come with me. After saying this, the leading man beckoned to his companions who were still working, "I will lead this adult who has just returned to Zhuangzi first." I'll be back in a moment to help. ”

I have to say that the man in front of him is still quite prestigious among the working crowd. Those who worked in the scorching sun did not even complain about his temporary departure. Just showed a mouthful of yellow teeth at the two of them, and continued to bury his head in the work at hand.

Led by the bare-chested man in front of him, Barrett soon made his way onto a dirt road. The dirt of this road is full of pebbles and yellow sand, which is obviously specially groomed. When he saw this, Barrett knew that the Clemency estate was not far from him.

Barrett, who was walking behind, was in a good mood and immediately took the initiative to say hello: "What is the name of the one in front." ”

"Sir, you can call me Little Bart!" The man in front of him suddenly turned around and smiled slightly stiffly.

Barrett, who noticed the oddity at a glance, immediately frowned: "Little Bart, what's wrong with your face?" ”

"The problems left behind when I went to the northern fortress to garrison the border are, according to the early herbalists, what kind of sequelae are they! I heard that the priest spent dozens of gold coins to solve the problem. Speaking of this, little Bart spat out, "I have the savings to write like this. But this is the cost of sending the child to the city to find a better instructor, and that one cannot be moved. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with this problem except that it is a little ugly to laugh at. What am I spending that money for? ”

"Looks like this is your military medal!" Barrett quipped with a laugh.

"How can this be counted, only real scars can be regarded as military medals." Little Bart sighed at this. Then he touched his left arm: "There should have been a scar here." But those pastors were careful when they took my arm, and as a result, nothing was left. It makes me feel a little unconfident now that I want to brag about my bravery with my own boy! ”

Barrett, who heard this, instantly felt a little weird, and he touched his chin and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the Northern Fortress hasn't experienced a large-scale barbarian southward movement for several years!" I didn't expect you to be a member of the Ranger team, little Bart. ”

"Don't look at me like this, it's all done farm work after being discharged from the army!" Little Bart widened his chest, "I don't think I had so much dead flesh back then." I was a good player even in the Ranger at that time......"

As they spoke, patches of gray terracotta tiles appeared in their sight. As the distance closed, a low hedge separated the meadow from the manor. And on the edge of the hedge there are also rows of low old thorn bushes. (To be continued.) )xh118
