"Join the army!" Victor. Sain never thought of this possibility, "I haven't experienced that kind of 9-to-5 life yet!" I don't know if I'll be able to adapt to it! And if I were sent to the desolate border, I don't think life would be much better than here! ”

"At least you can see a blue sky and bright sunshine there, right?" Saying that, Barrett shook the wine glass in his hand, "And whether it is wine or food, it is much better than underground." ”

"But there is no freedom! No, perhaps less freedom than underground. "Victor. Sain touched his chin, "At least I can do whatever I want here." If you enter the army, you will be restricted to death. I appreciate your kindness, but that's probably not the life I want! ”

Hearing this, Barrett shook his head again and again: "Don't think about things so pessimistically, all the kingdoms in the Western Continent usually treat the exiled nobles who join the army more favorably. One of the favors is that they are often placed in the city defense army as junior officers. So you don't have to worry about being placed in a place where birds don't after joining the Norhan army. ”

Everywhere there are privileged classes, the only difference is in the way they use their privileges. And the largest privileged class on the Western Continent is the aristocracy. Therefore, even in the Nohan Kingdom, where the Songun policy was strong, those fugitive nobles from outside joined the army, and they did not need to start as a big soldier like civilians. At the same time, their posts are also arranged in the city, and there is no need to go to the border to blow the northeast wind.

And like Barrett said, the fugitive nobleman who hopes to obtain the status of the court nobleman in this way, because he has a good strength (red iron rank), so he can also mix a good junior officer. At the same time, these people are promoted much faster than the same soldiers. Even after passing the examination, it is very likely to join the royal family guard directly under the royal family.

After all, in the eyes of the royal family. The nobility of the court was their basic plate. Members of the Guard who were screened from here. Loyalty definitely stands the test. And what the royal family's immediate guards need most is loyalty.

"Are you sure you'll be in the city after joining the army?" Victor. Sein's attitude finally softened a little.

Barrett nodded: "I don't know what will happen in the future, at least that's how the previous practice was." After all, those nobles among the aborigines, those who are willing to go to the desolate land and the frontier are all from military nobles. Few of the court nobles and exiled nobles could endure these hardships. So in order to prevent any problems, unless they apply on their own, they are generally arranged to be in the city. ”

Victor. Sain touched the table with his finger, "In that case, maybe you can give it a try." After all, if you are in the city, even if there are restrictions on work, the supervision should not be as strict as at the border. ”

"Of course, how do you want to get yourself a free place. You're going to have to do it up and down. For the aboriginal bureaucrats, the necessary bribes can make you more satisfied. As he said this, Barrett lowered his voice in a triumphant manner.

Victor. Sein replied with affection: "I have already experienced this, and I have dealt with those guys a lot during the days of my escape. Until then, I think I'll have the necessary cash ready. ”

"That's right! There are only two cities where Norhan can submit that kind of application, the western capital of Karada and the new capital of Ulrik. If you want to do this kind of business then, choose your route as soon as you get back to the surface. They don't go in the same direction. Barrett, who took a sip of mushroom wine, did not forget to remind the other party of the things to pay attention to.

Victor. Sain put down his glass, apparently intending to try it as Barrett suggested. So his tone became intimate, "I've been to Karada before, but Ulrik is too far away to hear the name. Barrett: Can you tell us about the differences? I mean, for the application that I'm going to make. ”

"The difference between the Western Capital and the New Capital, if you really want to say it. That's two days and two nights! Then Barrett's voice changed, "Of course, if it's just your concern, it's much simpler. But that's not a short story. After all, applying for political asylum and court nobles involves such a thing as a department, which is quite complicated......"

Generally speaking, the nobility of the court is controlled by the royal family. But in the kingdom of Nohan. But there is a strange place. That is the group left behind in the western capital of Karada when the capital was moved (this can be referred to the small cabinet of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty). Although the vast majority of the court nobles still revolved around the royal family, acting as their minions to make trouble for the lords everywhere. But in Karada, there were also some betrayers who changed their position.

“…… Generally speaking, if you apply to Ulrique, the review will be faster. Moreover, if you want to make a difference in the military in the future, your development prospects will be relatively better. For example, the Royal Guard, which has been selected by Ulrik's court nobility for so many years. If you want to develop within the military and political system of Nohan, you must go to Ulrik. Speaking of this, Barrett moistened his throat with wine, "And Karada is out of the royal family's field of vision, so it is naturally much inferior to the former in terms of promotion." The only good thing should be more freedom! After all, the feeling of the immediate boss not being there is a completely different feeling. ”

"Thank you for your advice. If it succeeds, you can come to me if you need help in the future. "Victor who said this. Sain sent Barrett an account number.

After reading the above, Barrett determined that it was the other party's username on the forum, apparently a channel for future contact. Barrett doesn't feel a thing about the person in front of him. After all, it is only the first time that the two sides have met, and it is impossible to give a realistic way of communication because of a few words.

In fact, there was such a compromise channel of contact, which was more than Barrett had expected—after all, he just felt that the person in front of him was too unlucky to help. I didn't expect anything in return from the other party.

The two players who met unexpectedly continued to meet amicably in the only tavern in the transit station. Each player talks about their experiences in the game during this time. Victor. Sain learned from Barrett about how the surface had changed over time. Much of this content is not available from public posts on the forum. For this, Barrett is a serious potential patron. The expression on his face was quite satisfied.

And for Barrett. Victor. Sain's underground life in the past six months is a very valuable information. Although the blood-stained Grey Flower will also be able to get information from the dwarves and gnomes in the ranks. However, the information they have that they only come once a year is not completely outdated, but it is also somewhat distorted. What's more, some of the content is considered a secret by the clan to them, and they don't intend to talk about it with outsiders like Barrett.

Instead, it's Victor in front of him. Sein, don't look at the fact that he has only been underground for less than half a year, during which time he and his temporary partners have been operating in an area not far from this transit station. However, what he saw and heard was first-hand information, which is still quite important to players.

Barrett, who suddenly discovered something, asked, "Are you saying that the underground trade routes are not peaceful during this time!" ”

"If you really say something peaceful. When has the dark region been peaceful? Of course, during this time, the frequency of caravan attacks between the Third Transit Station and the Forward Fortress seems to have increased. It looked like the black skins had slipped under the noses of the defenders of the fortress again. "Victor. Sain waved his hand, "This kind of thing happens for a while every year. Since you're traveling with the team, I think the natives should have been prepared. ”

"I'll ask as soon as I get back!" Barre Characteristics immediately thanked him.

After returning to the team's quarters after communicating with his compatriot, Barrett found that Anvil hadn't returned to camp at this time. But before Barrett could speak, Noodle answered his question first: "That guy is helping people in the blacksmith shop under the tower now!" The craftsmen of the Black Rock Clan are currently on rotation underground, but I don't know how many impression points this can earn him. ”

"I said I had been in the tavern for so long, why didn't I see the Anvil Man! It turned out that he went to the blacksmith shop to help. But it's good that nothing happened. As he said this, Barrett swept his gaze over his companion in front of him, "Guys, how is everyone's impact on this transit station?" ”

"It's too small! And there's nothing interesting about it. "Claudia. Auditore complained about this.

Rielly, on the other hand, weighed her purse: "Judging by the scale of this place. In fact, it is not as unbearable as Claudia said. And I've found that I can trade a lot of valuable spell materials here, and the price is a lot lower than on the surface. ”

Although most of the business practices. All of them are controlled by the interest groups that make up the big caravans. But private transactions between adventurers cannot be organized anywhere. Therefore, it is not difficult for Rieli to exchange the hands of those aboriginal adventurers in the square for cheap supplies that she can use.

"Are you going to invest all of our team's reserve funds in this?" Although the words were addressed to Rieli, Barrett's gaze turned to Clematis. Bot.

Sensing Barrett's gaze, Clematis. Bot immediately shook his head: "I still have self-knowledge in this regard, just buy a little bit." If the amount is too large, those merchants will definitely come back and look for trouble. ”

Of course, there is a limit to the tolerance of those vested interests. Since they have invested so much manpower and material resources here, they naturally do not allow anyone to take food from their mouths - it is nothing to pick up the scraps from their mouths, and if they really want to eat meat, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not take action.

"I almost forgot that the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church has an office here! He will tell you what you can and can't do. Barrett said as he reached out and patted his head.

Hear this from Claymatis. Bote's eyes widened: "Barrett, don't look down on people, okay!" I can see this kind of thing myself, where I need the guidance of those guys. ”

"Alright! I was wrong. Barrett apologized.

At this moment, Noodle spoke again: "That's right! Barrett, I just got the news out there. It is said that during this time, the chances of being attacked on the trade routes in the Dark Regions were much higher than before. ”

"I've heard about it, too, and it was from a player who has been here for half a year. So be careful for the rest of the journey. Barrett, who said this, looked specifically at Claudia. Auditore glanced at it, "Of course, the interesting events you are expecting may actually come across." ”

"Players?"

"Player!"

"There's a player here?"

"And you've been there for more than half a year?"

Compared to the news of the attack, the player's attention was immediately drawn to the other players. After all, in their impressions, the Dark Regions were completely forbidden to players before they set foot in them. Since the failure of the previous player-organized operation, there has been no information about it on the forums so far.

Barrett, who knew that if he didn't say it, these guys in front of him would never stop, so he had no choice but to wave his hand: "Be quiet!" Listen to me for a while......"

Next up is Barrett will be Victor. The situation of the Thine was briefly introduced to his companions. And the players who heard what happened to the other party were also embarrassed.

"The system is really too tricky! Luckily, I put all of my money into the attributes and church network, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up as much as that Victor. Sain has a lot to do. "Claymatis. Bott said with affection.

And Claudia. Auditore is even more sympathetic: "I now know that I was not the worst at the beginning. Compared to what happened to this person, I could have lived in heaven at that time. ”

"But I really didn't expect that there would be players who could live alone in the dark region for more than half a year!" Rielly touched her chin, "That guy should not only be strong-willed, but also good-willed." ”

"Although I don't know the specific strength, if it's really too bad, then it's impossible to survive the adventure in the dark region." Barrett nodded in agreement. After all, that Victor. Sain mentioned that he was here for an adventure. (To be continued......)
