Chapter 100: Non-cooperation

Barrett, who found that the next topic might set himself on fire, immediately clapped his hands: "A few better!" That's all for tonight's discussion! Especially a few spellcasters, remember to rest early. You still have work to do tomorrow morning! ”

In the face of Barrett's eviction order, Rielly was obviously very dissatisfied. But this kind of thing is obviously unreasonable for her. So after glaring at Barrett fiercely, Rielly took Claudia's arm with one hand, and took Lalu with the other and said without looking back, "Come to me, let's talk." ”

As Rielly pushed the door open, Clematis put her hand on her forehead and looked at her departing friend, shook her neck gently and sighed, "I hope you don't mind, Barrett, we people are like this sometimes."

"A lady's privilege! Anyway, my request is just out of sight and out of mind. Barrett touched his nose, "As for how you want to arrange my words behind my back, as long as it doesn't reach my ears, you can be happy." ”

"If I heard, I'd tell you right away." The dwarf, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Barrett's expression suddenly stiffened when he heard this: "You don't need to block me with the anvil!" ”

"I think Barrett, it's actually a lot of fun for you to play with your face." The dwarf said this and lifted his hammer and trotted out of the house. As if he was afraid that Barrett would be angry and move on himself. After all, Barrett just said that it was a 'lady's privilege', and as a man, he didn't think he had this benefit.

"You guy, do you really think I'm going to do anything to you?" Speaking of which, Barrett turned his head to look at Kleimatis. "Am I that kind of person in your mind?"

Klaimatis spread his hands: "Probably in the eyes of the anvil." You've got too much power! ”

And after Kleimatis was the last to step out of Barrett's house. Tonight's strategic deployment work has naturally come to an end. Barrett, who had trapped his whole body in a velvet mattress, was thinking about how to open a breakthrough in this small place in Winterspring Town.

The next morning, after a hearty breakfast served by the temple, Barrett and his party returned to Reverend Gatsby. Immediately afterwards, Clematis revealed to him his group's plan to kill chickens and monkeys, as well as the risks and difficulties that may be faced in carrying out this plan. Naturally, the next step was to get some help from him, a local.

However, to the player's surprise, the Reverend Gatsby may have been frightened by a possible threat. He shook his head again and again: "At this time, you should stop adding fuel to the fire." All we have to do is guard the gates of the temple and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

"But in this case, there is only the first case. Then the prestige of the temple, which has been built up in Winterspring Town for so many years, will be shaken. It may even affect the rest of the Northland. In today's situation, if there is any chain reaction. Then the situation will not be easy to clean up. Then we will have to face punishment from within the church. Fellow pastor of the church, Clematis naturally had a position to say such things. If Barrett is replaced, even if it is fanciful, it still feels unconvincing.

But even so, Pastor Gatsby remained steadfast in his original intention: "More is better than less." In this case, it is not easy to hold on to your life, so don't make extraneous branches. Besides, even if there is any punishment, it is not us who are left behind to be the first to be punished. What a hurry you are a pilgrimage priest! ”

Looking at the negative attitude of the other party's dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, the players really don't know how to deal with it - the so-called 'no desire is just' (mistakenly) refers to this kind of person!

The players who left the reception room had long since lost the morale they had when they came. Rielly hated the Pastor Gatsby in the room. She couldn't wait to get back to the house and shouted, "Who are they!" We're thinking about him! He looked like he was afraid that we would hurt him. ”

"This should be a side effect of the sudden increase. Some people will become arrogant. Others will turn into genuine fear. The Reverend Gatsby here is clearly the latter. In addition, it can be regarded as a critical order now, and it is not particularly uncommon to become timid. "Clematis is from his previous body of knowledge. I found a plausible reason.

However, this did not satisfy Rierly: "But without his help, we probably would not have been able to carry out our plan on our own!" ”

"Intelligence! Key intelligence on the gray and even black areas of Wintersprings. Only with that in mind will we be able to carry out our plan last night. Otherwise, the big guy should wash and sleep! Barrett nodded, agreeing with Rielly's point.

Claudia frowned, "Do you want us to get the information ourselves?" Do any of you have experience with this? ”

"I wonder if there is a stronghold of the 'Veil of Night' in Winterspring Town? If I had, I would have been able to get the information I wanted from there. Speaking of this, Barrett touched a 'gold coin' that he had kept close to him. It was a token that Noodle had given Barrett to the 'Veil of the Night' stronghold in Poitu City before he set off for his promotion.

Although it is only a bronze badge representing junior customers. Only by holding this can you open trades at the strongholds of most of the 'Veil of Night' on the large land. But the code signs hidden in the seemingly random graffiti on the streets and alleys were also a test for Barrett. He didn't have the knowledge of deciphering documents and ciphers in the task skills, and it was not easy for him to extract the information he wanted from them.

After all, if you don't have system skills, then everything has to rely on the player himself. In fact, Barrett, who was not proficient in this matter during the test or the official game, immediately felt a lot of pressure after saying that. On the surface, though, he kept as calm as he could, lest the morale of his companions become even lower.

"It's ideal!" Klaimatis frowned. "If only the Veil of Night didn't have a stronghold here. Then we'll probably have to go to the tavern or some other place on our own to find out. ”

"News of a tavern kind of place. At most, it can only be used as a reference for understanding individual folklore! If you want to find out something secret, you have to think too much. The thieves' guild in town is a suitable conduit, but it's not easy for us to get in touch with them. At this point, Rielly scratched her hair, "I'm starting to miss the noodle boy now." If he had been there, this kind of thing wouldn't have been a headache for us. ”

"Speaking of noodles, I don't know how his mission went. Those dragon worshippers mixed with the black skins are not easy to deal with! At this point, Barrett immediately turned his gaze to the anvil.

The dwarf who was indirectly named touched his beard: "I've asked that kid several times." Not to mention, he is always squeaking and whining, and he is reluctant to say too much. I'm worried if there's something going on wrong. But now, even if we want to help, we can't find anyone else! ”

"If that's the case, when we're done with this matter, we'll go back to Poitu and ask. Anyway, the family that represents the 'Good Dragon God' church is still easier to talk to. As Barrett said this, he immediately swept his gaze over the rest of his companions.

Even Rielly, who had a bad relationship with the halfling wanderer before, was very concerned at this time: "If you really need help." We have no intention of abandoning our companions. But what needs to be solved now is the immediate problem. ”

"If we hadn't come to the temple directly, we might have had a chance to sneak in with those adventurers and find out something. But now that they all know that we are the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, even if there is a plan against the temple, they will hide it from us! Yesterday's choice now seems to be a big failure! At this moment, Klaimatis suddenly spoke. She had clearly thought of something she had overlooked before.

Barrett stepped forward and patted Clematis on the shoulder: "Pastor Gatsby's situation, how could we have foreseen it before we met!" So there's no need to dwell on what's already in the past. It's important to think about how to solve the problem at hand. ”

"In fact, it's not a question of whether you can get the news or not. If anyone really wants to do anything about the temple, we who are out and about to explore it may become their target. Clematis immediately expressed his thoughts, "In this way, wherever we go, we will basically fall into the eyes of those with ulterior motives!" ”

"Then the other ways will not be considered for the time being. Clematis, you and I will go together and see if we can find the stronghold of the Night Veil. Barrett accentuated his tone, "The rest of you are on standby in the temple for the time being. We'll talk about any questions when we get back. ”

There's a reason Barrett would choose Clematis to act with him. Because now in the team, the two of them and Rielly are the most explosive. In the event of an attack. It's entirely possible to fight your way out. After all, in Winterspring Town, as long as you can escape back to the temple in time. The two of them were already victorious.

However, towns are not suitable for mages to cast, and area spells are easy to cause accidental damage. At the same time, the armor and relatively strong physique of the two also make Barrett and Clematis have a greater tolerance rate when they are caught off guard. Moreover, although Klematis's magic is not as changeable as the arcane, it is enough to deal with the general situation.

"I have no opinion! Remember to be careful. Rielly pulled the cat and nodded in understanding.

Claudia, on the other hand, waved her little fist: "Remember, Tis brought me back intact!" Otherwise, I'm going to be polite to you. ”

"Klaimatis has a field of travel, and I can't compare to her when it comes to escaping!" Barrett joked aggrieved.

Walking through the lanes of Wintersprings, Barrett swept the houses on both sides with his gaze from time to time, lest he miss some inconspicuous codes. On the other hand, Kleimatis carefully controlled his pace, for fear of stepping on a mine.

Now that it is the warmest time of year in the Northland, the sun has become relatively hot, which is a good environment for drying dried fish. Although the main export goods in Dongquan Town are smoked fish, this does not prevent local residents from making some salted dried fish for a change of taste.

So with the salty and wet sea breeze blowing from the west, the salted fish swayed in the wind under the eaves. At the same time, on the roofs of the low houses on both sides of the road, the dried fish that had been cut open were gradually dehydrating in the sun. If you pay close attention, you can even faintly see the water vapor rising from above - most of it is an illusion caused by psychological effects.

"The smell here is so much stronger than near the temple." Clematis, who was holding his nose with his hand, couldn't help but complain.

The small square where the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church is located is the faΓ§ade of Winterspring Town, and the houses near it are either the Shangguan Town Office or the decent people in the town. They will ensure their image in the future, reflecting the difference between them and mud legs, and they are naturally reluctant to dry air-dried salted fish in front of and behind the house. If you want to eat it, you can buy it with money and other processed residents. Even because of the small size of the town, it is somewhat affected by the smell of salted fish. However, the concentration of strange objects is obviously much lighter than that in the alleys of non-main roads.

Barrett smiled indifferently: "Summer in the fishing town!" Nature is a day when the smell of salted fish is enveloped. You didn't come yesterday, or you would have known. In this environment, the smell of igniting applewood will be particularly obvious! ”

"Leave that alone, Barrett, did you find the 'Veil of the Night' mark?" Klematis, who didn't want to talk about that topic, immediately urged.

Barrett, who had never found anything, shook his head: "I haven't been able to find any useful marks yet. But now we've only found a small area, and there's still a lot to look at. ”

"That's right. But this environment is just too torturous. It made me turn into a salted fish. Clematis grumbled angrily. (To be continued.) )
