"Ugh! There's nothing more comfortable than a hot shower after a week of hard work. Barrett, who was in the bathtub, couldn't help but let out a moan. He covered his face with a towel, and his hands hung down on the sides of the large wooden barrel, completely relaxing his body and mind. If someone had launched a sneak attack on Barrett at this time, the odds of success would have been high.

However, although the city of Walkerson is now in the midst of war, the port area is very peaceful. It was as if the ruins and the smell of blood hundreds of meters away didn't make any difference here. Similarly, although it was in times of war, players who managed to enter the port area were still unwilling to treat themselves badly after passing through layers of scrutiny.

Especially after Klaymatis spilled a lot of gold, the players immediately felt the enthusiasm of the tavern. Washed away from his physical and mental exhaustion, Barrett came to the lobby dressed neatly, and the other party quickly served Barrett a big meal.

Freshly grilled chunks of fish are blended with rosemary, garlic and parsley, and topped with lightly charred onions, carrots, celery and other fragrant vegetables. On the side is a potato soup seasoned with coriander and sage. The crispy sausage has a unique aroma of basil.

Unfortunately, even if it fell under Jin Yuan's offensive, this hotel could not use fresh meat as an ingredient. After all, the blockade on land has been around for some time, and although the city of Walkerson relies on a steady stream of foreign supplies by sea, this does not include livestock.

It is important to know that the transportation of live animals is not an easy task, and the high cost makes it impossible for them to survive in wartime. And a big city like Walkerson, even when it's not in the middle of a war. Fresh meat also has to be provided by nearby townships. There's limited space here. Far from satisfying the appetites of those people. There will be no one in this place. Make that thankless attempt.

"Hey!" Although the food in her mouth tasted good, Claudia, who had not been able to meet her psychological expectations, still sighed at this time.

Clematis, who was walking on the side, patted his friend with some disdain: "Pay attention to the image!" ”

With that, Clematis turned his head and swept his gaze over the lobby of the hotel. What should have been a noisy environment is now much more urbane. The heroic and rugged adventurers had long since been replaced by a group of well-dressed men and women.

Many of them were Walkerson residents who had been left homeless during the war. Of course, these Walkerson residents who are still able to live a small life in the hotel usually have a good net worth. Even if you are displaced, you can still maintain a decent life for a while.

However, their wealth and status are only in the middle and upper classes, otherwise they would have taken a boat for the first time to temporarily leave the land of right and wrong. And because of their massive influx. During this time, the taverns in the docklands of Walkerson City have all changed to a new way of doing business - and this is somewhat awkward for players.

"I really didn't expect you Claudia to come to dinner earlier than me today." Seeing that there was another person coming, Barrett began to whisper to his companion: "Did you go crazy with hunger along the way?" ”

It is important to know that girls tend to take longer than men when it comes to bathing. But when Barrett came out just now, Claudia had already enjoyed her feast here. This is a huge contrast from the past, and it is no wonder that Barrett is the beginning of Barrett's jokes.

"Barrett, you kind of say it again!" Hearing this, Claudia immediately exploded, and she directly grabbed the fork in her hand and pointed it at Barrett and scolded her. After all, women are very concerned about this kind of problem in front of people, especially in front of the opposite sex. Claudia in front of her was more like a cat with her tail stepped on at this time. There is a posture of tearing up Barrett directly if you don't agree with each other. She didn't even have time to think about it, if she did. Do you have any chance of winning against Barrett?

The anvil, who was sitting on the west side of the round table, raised his head to look at the two of them, and then shook his beard and lowered himself to deal with his own meal. With a large cup at hand, he was very happy with the meal - after all, like the real dwarves, the anvil was a heavy drinker.

In a sense, the anvil is also considered lucky. Because the city where the merchants who stored the liquor in the city of Walkerson were located, and the city has not fallen to this day. In addition, the shelf life of the large wooden barrels is not short, which ensures the supply of alcohol in the city of Walkerson - of course, it is not known what the defenders of the city have to do with the city where the large wine stores are located.

And at this time, Barrett, who was threatened by Claudia, immediately began to pretend to be stupid: "Where did I provoke you just now!" Why is the reaction so big? ”

Although it is a woman's nature to be vexatious, when Barrett did not expose it directly, Claudia couldn't pull her face and move at him in this hall. Similarly, if you force yourself to get to the bottom of it, it may make your own troubles known to everyone.

After struggling for a while, Claudia turned her head and snorted coldly while retracting her fork: "You're lucky this time!" ”

"Eh! Who offended us Diya and made you so angry! Do you want me and Lulu to help you out? Along with the voice, it was Rielly who was holding Lalu. At this time, the female mage's long half-wet and moist hair can be said to have a unique charm under the light of the lobby.

Looking at Rielly's appearance, Claudia felt that she was deliberately sarcastic about herself. However, Claudia, who felt that she could not find any way to refute this matter, also learned the anvil and began to bow her head and concentrate on dealing with her own food. Seeing the ostrich tactics used by the other party, Rielly also had no interest in continuing to laugh.

"I didn't expect to be surrounded for so long, and the residents of Walkerson City have a very nourishing life! In contrast, the town of Winterspring and the poor people along the way. But it's blood mold! "Rielie who started to prepare to eat. At this time, everything I saw after entering the city. expressed his own opinion.

Claudia, who suddenly felt as if she had caught Rielly's flaw, suddenly raised her head at this time: "What you see now is only these survivors who are still in the defense zone." The fallen districts and their victims who have turned into ruins will never agree with you. ”

"It is impossible to come back from the dead! Isn't it time to prioritize the lives of those who are still alive? "In this respect, the inhabitants of Walkerson are much better than the poor people out there who have become robbers." So it's safe to live in a big city like this! ”

"It's true that safety is safety, but it's not easy to live in this kind of place. In the case of Walkerson, it is difficult for ordinary aborigines to gain a foothold here. Barrett also put down the knife and fork in his hand at this time and joined the conversation.

Suddenly, Clematis interrupted the conversation between the two very rudely: "Are you still finished?" Instead of pretending to be compassionate and caring for the aborigines. It's better to think about it. Let's go next! ”

"I've already mentioned this to you before." Barrett leaned back in his chair as he spoke, "There are two ways now, the first option is to find the nearest merchant ship to leave. According to the non-commissioned officer, the other side will not resist too much in our capacity. However, they are still somewhat wary of us, and their attitude should not be too good. And the second option, as I had planned at the beginning, is to wait for Boreham's armed merchant ships to arrive......"

The advantage of the first option is the ability to quickly leave a place of right and wrong like Walkerson. However, after getting on the boat, it is uncertain whether the other party will have any bad intentions towards the players. The possibility of problems in peacetime is very small, but in the war years, too many demons are released in people's hearts. It's hard to guarantee that no one will do something stupid with brain congestion.

And even if there is nothing wrong with the crew themselves, it is also a question of whether they will be able to pass through the blockade of the Mammoth Dynasty and the Council of Nobles. Although the naval strength of those two regimes is far inferior to that of the Seven Cities Alliance. However, if it is discovered during the voyage, it will be difficult for ordinary merchant ships to resist. And in the middle of the ocean, no matter how well the players can fight, it may not help.

In fact, if it weren't for the sharp decrease in the frequency of pirates in the North Sea during this time, most merchant ships might not have been able to reach Walkerson so smoothly! Wars and bandits are rife not only on land, but also on the sea. Because the navy that originally swept them to maintain order on the route will become too late to take care of it because of the combat mission. So this kind of time often becomes a day of revelry for them.

However, this time the situation is a bit special, a considerable part of the pirates in the North Sea have been forced to become army because of the invitation of the previous mammoth dynasty. Then these fierce bandits fell into the hands of the believers of the 'God of Tyranny'. It will not be possible for them to make waves on the sea anytime soon.

And without such a large number of peers, the influence of those pirates has also been greatly reduced in a short period of time. As a result, the supplies obtained by the Seven Cities Alliance after the war were far more sufficient than they had originally planned. I'm afraid this is also something that the Mammoth Dynasty didn't expect when it first acted!

The second option is relatively much safer. You must know that the armed merchant ships under the command of Boram, whether in terms of equipment or staffing, are much better than ordinary merchant ships. And in the event of an aggravation of the situation, it may be accompanied by an escort of warships. Coupled with Barrett's identity, it is easy to fit in, and the sea life between the two sides will be much more harmonious.

Of course, it is not necessary to say that this choice is not dangerous on the sea. Maybe the Mammoth Dynasty and the Noble Council will organize a special manpower to take the armed merchant ships of the Bolum family! If you want to deter those ship bosses, you must first use that model with good strength as a negative teaching material, so that you can really influence those maritime merchants who commit crimes for gold coins.

However, although the possibility of such a situation cannot be ruled out, the probability is too small - because the other party is not sure, if something really happens, Bolim will not choose to retaliate. In that case, both the Council of Nobles and the Mammoth Dynasty would have a headache.

So much so that the most critical problem now is that I don't know when I will be able to see the ideal ship. If he waits too long, Barrett will worry that if something happens to Walkerson City, his group will have to be involved in the maelstrom again. Even if this concern didn't happen, fulfilling his previous employment contract and fighting in the streets with the guys from the noble council was not what Barrett wanted to see.

"I think it's better to wait! After all, we've come all the way before, and we don't have to wait for a little time. Claematis put his chin on the back of his hand and said, "If those guys from the Noble Council out there do come in, it's a big deal for us to continue to fight with them." ”

"I thought it would be better to find the right boat and go straight to the road. Don't forget that the noodles are still waiting in the south for us to help! Anvil's suggestion was clearly motivated by concern for his friend's well-being. He knew that he was not good at talking, and he made no secret of his thoughts. Of course, such honesty is hardly to arouse the disgust of his peers.

"But if the ship sinks then, I won't have much of a problem, but you'll be in trouble with the anvil." Rielly also expressed her opinion at this time, "Do you want to act as a hatchery for fish on the bottom of the sea?" ”

Barrett glanced at Rielly at this time: "Don't be so crow-mouthed!" If the ship is really shipwrecked, we will inevitably have to hand over a resurrection stone for all of this except Rielly. So in my personal opinion, it's better to seek stability. However, if you have any opinions, you can continue to speak, and if you disagree, wait a while to raise your hands and vote, and the minority obeys the majority. ”

"As it stands, I don't think there's any need to raise your hand to vote!" Claudia abruptly interrupted Barrett's words at this point, "Lulu's vote is 100% on Lulu's side. Even if I support the anvil this time, I am still in the minority! ”

"Then let's have a good rest for a few days! It's been a hard time in battle, and after recuperating our energy, we might have to add some trouble to those guys from the noble council! At this point, the corners of Barrett's mouth turned up slightly. It seems that he has some kind of ghost idea planned in his mind. (To be continued.) )
