"Wait, let me confirm its master's mission. You'll also need to confirm your identity. The clerk placed the badge in a carved metal box and tapped his finger at the window of the counter.

Barrett, who knew the process, immediately handed over his team's mercenary certificate. Immediately after taking the parchment, the other party took out a magnifying glass from his coat pocket and began to carefully identify the authenticity of the document - most of the dragonborns Barrett met were often good at identification. I don't know if this is due to the influence of their distant relatives of the dragon, and they are preparing for the future collection of wealth.

"There is no problem with this certificate!" The clerk who raised his head again after putting down the magnifying glass straightened his silver hair, and then he touched the carved metal box with his hand, and then nodded: "There is no problem here, the wanderer of the 'blood-stained gray flower' mercenary group ......"

Barrett, who was standing outside the counter quietly waiting for the results, did not say anything at this time, as if the receptionist's statement had nothing to do with him. However, the receptionist, who had soon completed the preliminary confirmation, immediately said with a look of embarrassment: "Although the preliminary examination is correct, the task performed by the owner of the token has a certain level of secrecy. So I don't have the authority to give you the rescue mission and the relevant information you need right now. ”

"Your cautious attitude is understandable. But can you give me a specific timeline for the review? After all, my team members have been out of touch for a long time. Because he had expected this to be the outcome, Barrett still stated his words with an unchanging face.

The clerk who heard this was immediately relieved. He was worried about the big man in front of him just now, and after hearing the news, he became emotional and made an accident. Although the relationship between many adventurers and mercenaries is not very close, it does not include the type of person who comes to the door with a token and takes the initiative to apply for a rescue mission - usually a team that cares so much about the safety of their companions has a great sense of camaraderie and cohesion.

If it was a spell-casting profession in a soft robe and carrying a book, it would have been relatively easy to appease after hearing this statement - the aboriginal mages were relatively sane after all. The clergy with the emblem can also watch the dishes on the plate - the clergy's personality is often closer to the teachings of the shrine. Starting a war accordingly usually yields good results.

Of course, the toughest ones are often sturdy warriors and charismatic warlocks. The muscular men in front tend to be irritable, and at the same time, most of them are tendons. As for those who spontaneously cast spells, they are a group of emotional and emotional creatures, and it is also difficult to resist when they start a temper.

In fact, when the receptionist said the words of refusal, one hand was already grasping the rope under the counter. As soon as Barrett gets emotional, he pulls the rope and rings the bell hanging at that end. At that time, someone will naturally come to subdue the big man in front of him - thanks to the good strength of the Beversstock family, the dragonborn warrior monks who are in charge of this work are subordinate to them. With excellent grappling and grappling skills. These members often do little harm to the troublemakers when they subdue them.

However, no matter how well prepared you are in advance, if a fight breaks out, it will inevitably have a bad impact on the order in the hall. If the troublemakers were too strong, they might have injured many people. So being able to accept that answer as quietly as Barrett did would be the best outcome for both parties. It's no wonder that the receptionist secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Looking at Barrett, who had accepted the reality, the receptionist in front of him finally regained his smile completely: "I'm not sure when the further review will be able to reply." Traditionally, it's usually 1-2 days. You can come back to see this gentleman the day after tomorrow, and you should be able to get an accurate answer by then. ”

"Will you come back the day after tomorrow? In this case, the departure time will have to be postponed again. Barrett, who touched his chin and thought about it for a while, smiled bitterly. Then he stretched out his finger and pointed to the carved metal box: "Then please return the token and mercenary certificate left to me by my companion, and I will come back on time the morning after tomorrow." ”

"Give! Welcome to come back next time. "The receptionist, who skillfully handed out two items, made it feel like a high-end restaurant. All the previous entanglements and precautions seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant.

Walking out of the Beversstock stronghold, Barrett looked up at the sun in the sky, "Is it time for lunch?" Looks like I'm still up a little too late. If you go to a trading house now, I'm afraid it's not the right time! Then let's take a look around. ”

After a boring two or three walks around the city of Poitou, Barrett wiped the corners of his mouth with a clean linen cloth - how could he, as a food lover, not take the opportunity to treat his temple. What the? You said you had breakfast not long ago, but what does that matter—big people eat a lot. The little breakfast in the Light Hotel only occupied an insignificant place in Barrett's stomach.

"The comptoir should be open for business now!" Barrett who ate all the way along the way. The specific time is determined by the change in the shadow under the eaves. He then proceeded to the Boreham Comptoir's office in the city, though Barrett's esteem within the family allowed him to offer his services during the closure. But that would be too bullying. Anyway, with the constraints of the Beversstock family, this issue is not in a hurry. Barrett naturally wouldn't disturb the other party's normal rest, and asked for special things.

As Barrett walked to the door of the Chamber of Commerce, a young man was removing a 'Temporarily Closed' sign from the door. It seems that if it had been earlier, Barrett would have had to stand outside the door for a while.

The man who was opening the door saw Barrett coming and asked cautiously, "Sir, are you here to do something?" ”

"Now that we know what we're doing here, let's go inside. The young man knew at a glance that he was coming! "While speaking. Barrett took out the exclusive token of the Bolum family from his chest, which proved his identity.

The young man said with some nervousness, "Please! Come in. How do you know I'm just here, sir. ”

"Because I don't know you, and you don't know either!" As he said this, Barrett shook his identification card again. In his opinion, if the young man in front of him still can't figure it out, there is no need for him to waste saliva on this topic. Sooner or later, such a stone head will poke out of the basket and be kicked out of the trading house.

Barrett, who entered the trading house, did not go upstairs to find the director here, but directly handled the business at the counter: "May I ask if the Chamber of Commerce has any caravans to the Cruze Kingdom recently." If so, please give our mercenary group a suitable escort mission. ”

"Mercenaries, mercenary escort missions?" The guy who confirmed Barrett's identity through identification and mercenary group certification. Immediately, he said with a bitter face: "Sir, it's not that I won't give you a task!" It's true that there is really no mission to the Cruze Kingdom in the last few days. ”

Obviously, after making the confirmation, the guy understood that Barrett's position in the organization was much higher than his own. If you are angry because you don't get a job, the job you have won so hard may be completely ruined - the Boreham Comptoir is the equivalent of a state-owned enterprise in the territory. It can be said that the young people here all have a good job to drill into after sharpening their heads.

The man in front of him had been an apprentice for several years. With the performance of being able to endure hardships and a little relationship with the class, it was not easy to defeat the competitors and become a regular employee. This kind of experience naturally makes him cherish this hard-won work, and for Barrett, a 'big man' who can decide his own fate, it is inevitable that there will be some unnecessary associations.

"No caravans to the Cruze Kingdom in the last few days?" A frowning Barrett continued, "So when is the nearest caravan next?" ”

"This has to let me check the plan carefully, the caravan plan to go to the Cruze Kingdom, the caravan plan ......" The young man who was chattering while flipping through the book, even began to sweat on his forehead at this time: "I'm very sorry, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't seem to have made caravan arrangements to go to the Cruze Kingdom in the past month." ”

Hearing this, Barrett always felt as if he had caught something, and immediately asked, "So when was the last caravan you went to?" ”

"The last time, the last caravan was 27 days ago. After that, and after that, it never happened again. The guy stammered as he replied now. It's like a knot in the tongue.

"That is, the caravan that has not been in and out for almost a month. And if there is no plan for the next month, it does not mean that the trade between the two sides has stopped for two months. Barrett, touching his chin, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened and deepened. Obviously, there must be some special reason behind this situation.

You must know that industry and commerce are the most important sources of funds for Boreham, so Boreham Comptoir always tries to sell its own goods to the outside world. Of course, those customers in the Cruze Kingdom are also indispensable, after all, the various specialties of Boreham Collar are also quite in demand there. Almost every 15-20 days, a caravan regularly sets foot on the trade route to the Kingdom of Cruze. Therefore, a two-month hiatus like the current situation is absolutely abnormal.

Just when Barrett was frowning, a middle-aged man happened to walk in outside the door of the merchant house. He stopped to look at Barrett and immediately spoke: "Isn't this Barrett?" I've heard before that you're going on an adventure to the north. When exactly did you come back? ”

"Mr. Josephine! You've just happened to be here, and now there's something really a headache! I hope you can give me some answers. Barrett, who turned around, immediately saw the caravan leader he had worked with before. Deep wrinkles on the same forehead. At this time, it can be regarded as a lot of elimination.

For Barrett, a rising star in the family, Mr. Josephine, a progressive and difficult grassroots leader, still has to pull the relationship. He put his arm around Barrett's shoulder rather familiarly: "Let's go, let's talk in the back." Don't be here at the front desk, lest customers come and there will be a lot of people. ”

"Okay! It's up to you. Since the other party was so enthusiastic, Barrett naturally didn't want to be cold-faced. And this grassroots cadre knows far more than the young guy just now. Barrett was clearly intent on getting some useful information out of his mouth.

In the hut behind the comptoir. Mr. Josephine calmly poured tea for both of them: "Just ask if there is anything!" What I know will not be hidden. Anyway, your authority in the clan is much higher than mine. The information I can know is not necessary to be kept secret from you at all. ”

"Much higher authority? Not really! My family's contribution isn't that high! Barrett scratched the back of his head, realizing that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Mr. Josephine stretched out his hand and pointed at the 'broken peak' behind Barrett: "Ancient weapons are not something that everyone can master. The children of the family who were given to it were all nurtured as core members of the next generation. ”

Although the Bolim family has a lot of ancient weapons, it is not a cabbage on the bad street. And their owners only need to develop. The lifespan is often not too short, so it is usually for several generations. Therefore, even if it is an internal member of the family, not every one of them needs to pass on ancient weapons, but if it is not restricted, the number is definitely a drop in the bucket!

Therefore, only the children of the clan whose true potential and loyalty have been tested will be able to obtain such weapons. Today, it is not only an excellent weapon, but also a testament to the user's status within the family.

"If you don't say I'm about to forget that." Barrett touched his nose embarrassedly, "Lord Earl wants me to experience more and improve my strength as soon as possible." As a result, I seemed to have overstrained myself, and I didn't return to the territory for a long time. I didn't feel the change in that area......"

"You kid really don't know what to say." Mr. Josephine shook his head and picked up the glass: "What the hell is the problem, tell me quickly." ”

When Barrett heard this, he told the doubts in his heart in general. After listening to this, Mr. Josephine wiped out the tea in his cup, and then spoke: "You also know that the Kingdom of Cruze is now at war. War was a great business opportunity, but the kingdom has not yet expressed its stance on which side of the Cruze. In order to avoid suspicion, the Earl stopped trading in munitions.
