"Looks like you have something to do to see if he's alive!" Captain Jody Lamond, touching his chin, nodded, apparently making up for it according to Barrett. To say that this is not a deliberate guidance of the system, Barrett absolutely does not believe it.

But since the other party has found a suitable reason for himself like this, then Barrett naturally has no reason not to take advantage of it. However, if he takes the initiative to answer at this time, he will be suspected of deliberate deception. So at this point, he just smiled and waited quietly for Captain Jody Lamond to continue.

As an actor who has lived in a mask for many years, Barrett's performance really made Captain Jody Lamond think he had guessed the answer. He then touched his beard and smiled and said, "Judging from the information I have received so far, the current situation in the Kingdom of Zi is really bad. The Cruze royal family and the armies and nobles who supported it were now able to control less than 40 percent of the territory. If it weren't for the fact that some of the remaining lands fell under the control of foreign forces such as cults, the armies of those powerful local factions might have turned into decisive battles. ”

"Oh! With all that, doesn't the brute bear in the north show no good? Barrett, who heard this, obviously felt something incredible.

Captain Jody Lamond shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't know. After all, I'm just a captain of a merchant ship. To find out what is going on, you have to go to a professional. ”

"I'm sorry, but I was so excited. But do you know what slogans the nobles of the army have now? Barrett then asked a much simpler question.

'If the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done. It's not just words. Something like the nobility raising an army must be set up at the first place, so that others can understand their purpose. In this way, like-minded people can be attracted and help to legitimize the behavior.

Of course, it is impossible to achieve the same slogan of every nobleman in such a large-scale army, even if it is a lord who has secretly made a covenant beforehand. At the time of the incident, the details will change depending on the different conditions. Not to mention the other nobles and forces that followed suit, the former may still have traces of slogans, and the latter is completely bizarre.

However, although the purpose of the local powerful faction was different from the beginning. But in the next battle, if they want to concentrate their forces, they will inevitably negotiate to resolve the contradictions and jointly deal with the next war - although the overall strength of the local faction in the Cruze Kingdom is greater than that of the royal family, but if they fight separately. The same will be broken by the royal family one by one.

At such a time, no matter what kind of contradictions they have, whether the various lords are calculating each other behind their backs. But on the surface, at least the same sound can be made by dosing, so that the neutrals and the general public can have a good impression.

"I've heard of that." Captain Jody Lamond nodded, "Their slogan is mainly that the current King Ackroyd VII has broken his oath. They will use the sword in their hands to return the Cruze to its original stable and rich appearance. ”

"Is it just for the current king, and he is not ready to uproot the royal family?" Barrett, who heard this, touched his chin and muttered quietly.

Captain Jody Lamond tilted his head slightly and pondered, "For now, that's right. ”

"Isn't it a change of dynasty but just a new king? So who are they electing now from the Ackroyd family? Barrett asked casually. The news doesn't really have much to do with their next target, and it's the big names in Ulrike who really need to have a headache.

Although every civil war in the Western Continent is a feast for redividing interests, not all of them will lead to a change of dynasty. Like the Kingdom of Lucia, it was not the majority that the 'Anlyuk dynasty' became the 'Pastfield dynasty'. But even if he was only forced to abdicate and set up a new king. It was also enough to cause a great shake to the notice of the Ackroyd family. At that time, the power of the royal family will be greatly weakened.

It's not just a matter of a member of the royal family, it's a matter of the interests of the entire family. Otherwise, if just paying a current king would solve all the problems. The unlucky guy who acted as a target may have already been sold for a good price by his own people. Where will the war be fought until now?

Knowing the general situation, Barrett immediately thanked Captain Jody Lamond. Then he withdrew from the captain's room, which no longer interfered with his daily work.

Barrett, who returned to his cabin, quickly told all the news he had heard, and then he said: "From the information now known, it is clear that the situation in the Kingdom of Cruze may not be calmer than in the Northlands where we have just left. So you'd better be prepared! ”

"But it's not like someone will come to hunt us down! At most, they will encounter some rogues and rebels. "Klaimatis is clearly open to this.

It's a pity that Rielly doesn't seem to want to see her friend's confident smile: "When we were in the Seven Cities Alliance, were we hunted down by someone?" Could it be that something is wrong with my memory? It's been less than a year and you can't remember anything clearly? ”

Hearing this, Clematis really didn't understand why Rielly had such a violent reaction - isn't it normal for everyone to brag and exaggerate when they are chatting? So much so that her eyes were immediately full of questions when she looked at Rielly.

"That's it! All right! I guess Rielie just wants to warn you not to be too optimistic. Since the descriptions of the city-states of the Northland have become so different from reality. Then the Kingdom of Cruze probably won't be like the weak chicken we know. After a pause at this point, Barrett emphasized again, "So wait until we enter the territory of the Cruze Kingdom. Past impressions should not be taken lightly. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer a big loss. ”

"It's still very early to leave for the Kingdom of Cruze! Barrett, you and Lily, don't start whispering in our ears now! Klaimatis complained with a little dissatisfaction.

Rielly reached out and pinched her friend's arm with a wicked smile on her face: "If I don't ring the alarm bell for you early, will you really be able to make an impression in your heart?" I should mention this from time to time. lest you little girl be arrogant. ”

"Rieli! You're verbally violent. After struggling to push the mage's 'claws' away, Klaimatis immediately glared at himself and began to fight back. Then the two pinched each other. Clematis relied on the powerful corrections that his profession brings. Soon he crushed Rielly, who was a mage, under him.

Looking at the two people who were making a lot of noise in front of him, Barrett joked with his hands on his chest: "Okay two! If you want to play women's wrestling, go and change into a bikini first. ”

"Pervert!" At this time, the two people who were twisting and tangling on the deck immediately glared at Barrett in unison and protested.

Barrett, who was stared at by two pairs of apricot eyes, continued to say as if he was nothing: "If not. Hurry up! Otherwise, if a sailor comes to the door, it will affect the image too much. ”

Hearing this, Rielly and Clematis immediately let go of each other, and then got up and straightened their clothes. Obviously, in their hearts, they would never want outsiders to see themselves in such a humiliating way - even if it was just a data aborigine.

"After talking for so long, Barrett, do you have anything you want to command?" Finishing the care, Clematis then asked, apparently not thinking that Barrett would talk nonsense for so long.

"If you want to say anything, you really don't." But then Barrett's voice changed, "I just want to discuss with you about going to the Cruze Kingdom this time. What kind of transportation do you want to choose? ”

"Oh! What other options are there than carriages? Returning to her, Rielly immediately asked, "If I remember correctly, there are no deep-water harbors in the Cruze Kingdom!" And the river is not connected to the system in which Boreham is located. ”

"You don't have to ride a carriage! If you ride a horse, you should still be able to save some time. At that moment the anvil raised his hand and spoke.

Hearing this, Rielly immediately twisted her neck: "Riding a horse has a greater impact on the state than a carriage, and with the anvil you grind yourself, it's not so easy to find a suitable mount before you get an elemental mount!" ”

'Riding a horse has a greater impact on the state than a carriage?' That is, there are a few secrets that will appear in this situation! And the anvil mount, although difficult to buy in other places, is quite convenient in Boreham's collar...... ' while complaining about Rieli's words. Barrett didn't show it all.

He immediately made a new suggestion: "If the location of the noodle kid is in the southern part of the Cruze Kingdom." We could have taken a boat south to Repulse City. Then ride the horse. In this way, it can save a lot of time, and the accumulation of fatigue is much better than the whole road journey. ”

Speaking of this, Barrett immediately carefully observed Clematis and Claudia with his own eyes: "Of course, if the two eldest ladies don't want to pass through Repulse City, it's better that I didn't mention this suggestion."

"Please! It's not a question of whether you want to pass through or not, but my character is a semi-exiled person by his family. If you set foot on the land of Repulse City now, it will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Claudia immediately emphasized her current situation.

Barrett almost laughed out loud when he heard this: "Claudia, you're too sensitive!" Do you think Auditore is really going to be unhappy with your eyeliner in Repulse City? Not to mention that they don't have such ability, and even if they do, they may not spend money on this! So when the time comes, we just need to go into the city without publicity. And then buy a mount and take the road north, wouldn't it be good? ”

Barrett was right! Those guys aren't going to kick you out openly, as long as you don't come to your door when the time comes. Even if they stumble upon us, they will assume that they don't see it. At this time, Clematis also cheered for his friend: "Even if they imprint the mark on your body that prompts you to enter Repulse City." But we are not aborigines, and we can get along with that kind of family, and we can get along with each other. Do you need to be so entangled? ”

"But I'm not afraid of causing trouble to everyone!" Claudia said with some embarrassment.

Barrett shook his head: "What's the trouble with this. We really can't keep up with that. Help Claudia get ahead of you. But if you are bullied by the other party, you will never dare to care. ”

"That's right! If you really feel that you can't go, you can sign a contract with us after the war as compensation. The anvil was vulgar, but it successfully took care of Claudia's pride.

As for you, Lalu, who has always been very quiet, actually put forward his opinion very rarely at this time: "How long have we been on the boat?" In the future, if you take the route of Repulse City, won't you stay at sea for almost a whole month? As luck would have were, every time we sailed at sea, we would have a lot of problems with situations where we didn't have anything. ”

"Lalu, are you not going to continue to be subject to sea and land next?" Barrett nodded, and then recalled all the sea trips since the formation of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group - as the cat boy said, every time he was on the sea, he couldn't live in peace. Either this attack or that attack. From the point of view of luck alone, the players are indeed against the ocean.

Clematis, who also recalled this aspect, had a different opinion at this time: "It is true that you will encounter all kinds of accidents at sea, but if you go by land, the situation should not be much better!" Remember what we saw all the way from Ulrike to Brandenburg Fortress? What's more, the ongoing civil war in the Cruze Kingdom may also cause a large number of raiders to appear in the territory of Nohan, which is adjacent to the Cruze Kingdom. Unless you find the right team to hit the road with, it's too difficult. ”

"Are you saying that you rely on the Boreham Comptoir when you travel by land? Klematis, you're almost named. Barrett suddenly felt like he couldn't laugh or cry. (To be continued.) )
