Chapter Seventy-Nine: Time is Ticking

"Remember what you say yourself! Otherwise......" Steward Malkin said in a stern voice, suddenly realizing that he did not seem to have any means against Barrett and his party. In the end, he could only wave his hand naturally and strongly: "Anyway, the Viscount behind you will not let you go when the time comes." I don't have to worry about that kind of thing as an outsider. ”

"Don't worry! I'm not going to put myself in that situation. While saying this, Barrett was also prepared to be refuted.

However, Steward Malkin was obviously not the kind of guy who was annoying, and he immediately waved his hand after looking at Barrett's expression: "In that case, you should hurry back and deal with that so-called emergency!" ”

After leaving the mansion, Barrett looked down at the noodles and said, "Hurry up and choose the characters!" Although it seems like there is plenty of time. But that unconscionable system always likes to cause all kinds of surprises in front of us. ”

"In that case, choose the mission with the least time limit! Just like I said and settle the matter in the city of 'Ulrique'. Noodle nodded, "Now let's hurry up and choose the task, lest the few we like tomorrow be selected by others." ”

"Our luck shouldn't be so bad!" Barrett shook his head, obviously not thinking that there was such a coincidence in this world. Now that the tone has been set, players can naturally pick up their pace and prepare to walk back to the Barbarossa family's mansion the way they came.

But before the players left the aristocratic quarter, a team coming from opposite directions immediately blocked Barrett and his party. What's even more unpleasant is that this group of aborigines actually played the trick of clearing the road here. The two big men in front of them, who were like waiters, directly blocked Barrett and Noodle with their bodies, and then seemed to be trying to squeeze them to the sides of the road.

Faced with this, Barrett looked at the guy in front of him and his surroundings, and finally shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside - it was not a wise thing to clash with others in the aristocratic district of 'Ulrique'. No matter how chaotic the rest of Ulrike is, if there is a little dispute here, it may attract the attention of the higher-ups.

When the time comes, no matter what the reason, it will inevitably be punished. As for the innermost city, which is the most tightly managed, it has not had any chaos for decades. Because most of the threats are blocked by the thick walls and conscientious guards, and even a few that slip through the net are often privately dealt with by the garrisons left behind by the major families - no matter how bloody and dark the shadows are, the sunny side is absolutely as pure as an edelweiss (a real edelweiss). Not the Dead Infant Master).

Of course, more importantly, Barrett doesn't know what the identity of the guy in front of him is. You must know that 'Ulrik' gathers the most dignitaries of Nohan, and from time to time there are also foreign nobles who visit. In this case, Barrett, who has only one family member and no hope of a knighthood, is definitely a small person. Maybe you can shake your majesty in front of those poor people, but when it comes to the aristocracy, it definitely belongs to the lowest existence. Although its own strength can be regarded as a plus. But at the moment, it is still not very obvious.

So Barrett, who was squeezed to the side of the road, began to look at the big man in front of him, and at the same time used his spare eyes to constantly observe the newcomer in the middle of the road. He wanted to see who was putting on such a strange show when he was out of Karada. That's right, it's eccentric rather than pompous - because in the capital of the kingdom of 'Ulrik', the nobles with titles have a certain degree of care when traveling.

Although this kind of elaboration is not as complicated and cumbersome as the etiquette of the Eastern Empire, both the number and the way of retinue vary depending on the title. Of course, more importantly, they don't hide anything. Instead, the family flag was directly tattooed on the smocks of the periphery.

But these guys in front of him didn't have such obvious identification of their identity, so they naturally looked weird in Barrett's eyes. Besides, even the lords' teams rarely forcibly disperse pedestrians on the road in this way. What's more, this is also the aristocratic district of 'Ulrik', and the road is wide enough for two convoys to travel in opposite directions.

Of course, someone will, could it be that the son-in-law of that family was bored and came out of the micro-service private interview - not to mention the danger brought by the white dragon fish suit, since it is a micro-service private interview, then these people are still cleared, isn't it redundant? Besides, as long as they are not in their own territory, the heirs of the lord who want to travel are all official knights.

Because only after the strength reaches this level, can it be regarded as having the basic self-protection ability in the Western Continent. It is not easy for the family to lose the heir who has been cultivated for many years because of some accidents. As for the heirs of the lords who could not afford to become knights, they were often able to live under the protection of the others - and with the good food and clothing, they also had to pay some price that ordinary people had.

'Broad body! Relatively coarse pores, thick and frizzy hair. The most important thing is the smell of their bodies that can't be washed clean. No matter how you look at it, this guy looks a little like Lucia's brute bear...... Barrett, who has a little calculation in his heart, then throws all his attention to the middle of the road.

The last thing that came to mind was a man wearing a silk hairnet with amber beads and real pearls on his head. This sissy dress slightly dissolves the other party's three-dimensional facial snail. The guy was wearing a short white silk tunic embroidered with a gold thread "griffin". There are good muscles on the not too big skeleton, and I can barely hold up my clothes. Equally striking was the gold-threaded belt around his waist, from which hung a small sword in a gold-encrusted ivory scabbard.

What's more, Barrett found that everything in front of him was new and shining. Apparently there has been no precipitation of history, let alone a baptism of blood - jewelry without a story is just jewelry, and jewelry with a story is called an antique because of the cultural value it carries

Of course, there are these eye-catching devices, the other party's gorgeous pants that form a checkerboard-like pattern, and the red shoes that wear the long tips of Barrett's feet and how they look twisted. It's not too appealing. Of course, Barrett has to admit that the abundance of this guy in front of him is really impressive. A beautiful young man who did not show arrogance in his own - although the behavior of his men was excessive, but his own lowered eyes showed that he was well upbred.

'A family marked by griffins?' There were three of them in the kingdom of Nohan. But the heirs of that family can't match the guy in front of him! Could it really be from Lucia? Damn it. I should study heraldry well, there have been too many new families on the continent in the past 200 years...... 'Barrett suddenly became a little worried, because his instinct was telling him that this guy was going to be a big problem.

Although Barrett's sanity is constantly reminding himself that the sky is falling and the tall man is on top. This guy in front of me who behaves grotesquely. There will never be any direct intersection with myself. But he had that experience. But I know that my instincts are absolutely trustworthy. In other words, the guy in front of him may not directly confront Barrett and his party, but the impact of his actions will definitely bring trouble to Barrett and his party.

If it were possible, Barrett would naturally want to nip all danger in the bud. Unfortunately, he was not able to do that even during the testing period. Not to mention the fact that the strength and identity are far from the same now. After waiting for the strange feeling team to leave. Shaking his head and pushing some dangerous thoughts out of his head, Barrett immediately took the noodles and trotted all the way - obviously trying to make up for the little time he had just lost.

"What! You're saying that there are no more missions in Ulrique? The noodles pounded on the table in front of him, and even the tone was raised a few degrees.

However, the receptionist in front of him drew a horizontal line on the parchment roll in his hand: "This is also something that cannot be helped, the last task was taken away an hour ago." And the remaining two tasks were actually completed by the way because of some accidents. So at the moment we don't really have any missions in Ulrique. ”

"Damn it, it's just a little bit. If only there wasn't that bastard in the way just now. The next time I meet him, I must make him look good. Noodles grumbled through gritted teeth.

Barrett patted Noodle on the shoulder at this time and comforted: "Let's not talk about that guy's pomp." Noodles, even if you want to get close to him, it will take a lot of work, let alone trouble him. And I don't think even if we didn't have that guy, we probably wouldn't have been able to get the task! After all, the system won't let us through that easily. ”

Barrett, who said this, playfully stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, while Noodle shrugged helplessly: "What then?" ”

"Actually, it's not without benefit to not being in the city, at least we can get out of the sight of those court nobles. No longer be disturbed by them in the course of action. Speaking of this, Barrett nodded his head, "After all, most of our actions tend to be playing the side ball of the law. Usually it's okay if no one pays attention, but if someone is eyeing it, it's troublesome. Especially at this point in time, those guys wish we had something to do with it! ”

"And what's the closest mission outside of Ulrique?" Noodle then threw himself on the table.

Then the receptionist slid his finger: "This task!" Chase away or exterminate a group of goblin raiders entrenched in the mill mound. This quest was actually a transfer from the town hall, but it was in line with the doctrine of no owner, so we released it internally. ”

"Alright! Just choose this one! Simple and straightforward. Barrett behind the noodles nodded, "Does that person need any credentials?" ”

"Once you've completed the mission, the town hall will send someone to confirm. Of course, the ears of the goblins can also get a lot of money. The waiter continued.

Later, when Noodles signed his name on the paper. Barrett also remembered the system prompt in his ears: "The player accepts the entrusted mission 'Suppression of Bandits'...... Players are asked to complete the mission within the time limit...... Task rewards will be distributed based on the results of completion......"

Compared to his own simple and straightforward content, there must be something else in the noodles. Barrett wasn't going to ask, though. The two quickly returned to the merchant house, and after ventilating with their friends and sharing the mission, they rode out of the city the next day on a temporarily rented horse.

Fortunately, the distance between Mill Hill and Ulrike is not that far. The next morning, the players arrived at the nearest freedfolk colony. After learning a few things from the local population, Barrett got up again. Following the direction the peasant pointed, he looked at the gray, damp curtain of fog that obscured the place ahead. Behind these fog curtains is the ominous hill.

Barrett, who was slightly uneasy in his heart, handed each of his companions a box: "The Life-Sustaining Pill from the East, after eating it, it can produce an effect similar to the recovery ability of a troll." Of course, it tastes much better than the 'Troll's Blood' flask, and is not restrained by fire and strong acids. ”

According to the treasurer of the early king, this elixir can promote the circulation of qi in the lifeline and accelerate the recovery of the breath of life. Taking this medicine can continue to restore the user's life. At the same time, it can effectively close the wound and stabilize the injury.

In addition to this, Barrett also has a jar of special balm called 'Divine Help'. This protective balm allows the user to defend against the elements, overcoming difficulties and avoiding any harm in the most dangerous moments. The user can walk through the flames without any pain. Wade through rapids without being swept away, enter the whirlpool of a tornado without being swept away.

It's an almost 'freedom of movement' spell and a 'protection against energy nodules'. Naturally, the price is much higher than that of the 'Life Continuation Pill'. Of course, Barrett feels that the investment in this area is worth it. He left the potion for Lalu - because the way the cat fights, what he fears most is to be restricted from his movements. At the same time, the low level of reinforcement and endurance also restricts its ability to resist blows. And most of the time, the catboy has to charge forward like Barrett. So it's important to bring an insurance policy with you. (To be continued.) )
