"You said earlier that the area where your companions encountered those 'Crimson Hands' was between Poitu and Shafir. ~Little," said the Earl of Boreham, with a non-smiling smile, "I didn't expect someone to get under our noses!" It seems that some people should be beaten well. ”

Barrett's face changed when he heard this, he really didn't expect Count Borem to make such a public statement in front of him. Although there was a vague speculation in his mind about who would bear the wrath of Earl Boreham, Barrett looked up directly at the snow-white ceiling on Dǐng. After all, Barrett is not the official in charge of this work, so for now, he just has to pretend not to hear it.

Although in most cases, the feudal society has always had a weak grip on several layers. With the exception of a few towns, villages, and estates, the vast wilderness is mostly in a sort of zone.

But that wasn't the case for Boreham Collar. Regular patrols and a well-thought-out intelligence network may not be able to lock down one or two Lone Rangers. But it would be a proper dereliction of duty to be unaware of a large-scale mass change - and no wonder the Earl of Boreham was so angry.

Soon the Earl of Boreham also realized his gaffe, and he immediately sat upright and asked: "This operation is in the territory of Boreham, although I can't use a large army to search, but I can't do nothing and throw everything at you." Go ahead! Barrett: Do you have anything you need for this operation? ”

After a moment's deliberation, Barrett asked, "If you can, Lord Earl, can you arrange for us a ranger guide with a hound." This operation may involve field tracking, the current composition of our Bloodstained Grey Flower Squad. It's really missing this piece of the puzzle. ”

"Tracked hounds and forest rangers?" The Earl of Boreham touched his chin. "You can rest assured in this regard! I'll give you a veteran who knows all the environments in Boreham's territory. You're still staying at the same hotel you used to have! Now just go back and wait. ”

"Then I'll leave that to you! Hopefully I'll be able to find those damn haunting guys sooner rather than later. Barrett bowed as usual.

At the same time, the system prompt that had been silent for a long time sounded in Barrett's ears: "The Bloodstained Gray Flower Squad accepts the small regional story mission: Shadows under Order...... Quest rewards will be settled separately after completion...... There are ...... payment methods.

When leaving the Earl's office. Barrett had a satisfied smile on his face. But at the same time, there is also a faint worry in my heart: 'This time the conditions seem to be unexpectedly good!' Let's hope that the enemies we encounter will not exceed the limits of what we can bear......

With that in mind, Barrett walked out of City Hall and headed straight to the Traveler's House to meet his friends. Once again, the companions who had been in the dust became much more delicate, and it was obvious that they had taken advantage of Barrett's trip to the town hall to wash up a little.

After gathering all the people, Barrett said straight to the point: "Workers, I just took a big order. After completing this mission, maybe some people will have to prepare for their advanced careers. Moreover, Boreham's finances are also well-known in the Western Continent, and we can definitely make a lot of money in terms of money......"

"Looks like I said before, Barrett is going to take us to the trouble of those 'Scarlet Hands' in person!" Rielly clenched the whip around her waist excitedly. "Gotta make those damn guys look good this time!"

"That's it! Our mage, can you please not be so excited. A little bit of an image of a brain worker will help you communicate with the aborigines in the future. Barrett smiled bitterly and touched the bridge of his nose, "Of course you're right!" The mission to find the damn 'Scarlet Hand' hideout was thrown back into our hands by Lord Earl......"

Before Barrett could finish speaking, Rielly retorted: "Don't look at people with old eyes, my mother's acting skills are good in front of outsiders now!" If you don't believe me, you can ask the noodle boy. ”

The halfling wanderer, who suddenly found himself being pushed to the front, smiled awkwardly: "After messing up a few times at the beginning, the mage's acting skills are okay. In the eyes of those aborigines, it can be regarded as carrying some mystery. ”

After hearing Noodle say this, Barrett diǎn diǎn head: "Then Rieli, you have to play your role well." Because wait a little while in the action. I found an Aboriginal foreign aid. Please be sure not to show the stuffing. ”

"Wait! Aboriginal foreign aid? Is our mission that difficult? When we were entangled with those 'Scarlet Hand' guys before, we didn't feel this diǎn so much. "Claudia. Auditore added with a look of surprise on his face. "Barrett, are you mistaken?"

"I think Barrett is right! Previously, we were only dealing with personnel sent by the Crimson Hand. If they really have any conspiracy in Boreham's territory this time, it will definitely not be the main force who came to trouble us before. Rielly frowned, "If the next mission is going to be their main force, I'm afraid with our strength we really need to ask for help from outside." ”

Rielly's words suddenly plunged everyone present into an eerie silence. They seemed to be reminiscing about the days they had spent in the field with the attackers, and it was definitely not a good memory overall.

"Lily is right! Even if this is just a reconnaissance mission, if you suddenly plunge into the main force of the 'Scarlet Hand'. Even with Barrett, we may not be able to get out of it all. "Claymatis. Bot approving diǎn diǎn head.

"Alright guys! Have you forgotten that just a few of us can find those guys who are suspected of being 'Scarlet Hands' in the wild. Speaking of this, Barrett bent down, "I don't think anyone here has invested too many resources in tracking skills!" ”

"Tracking skills?" Fellows who hear this, look at me. I'll look at you. Later, I realized that my group really had very serious shortcomings in this aspect.

As a skill service in the team. Noodle scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "Speaking of tracking skills, it seems that I am the only one among us!" But searching, trapping, and activating magic devices alone drained my skills. ”

No one is omnipotent, and Barrett knows that this is not the responsibility of the halfling loiterers. He reassured: "Noodles are none of your business. In fact, our team is now in the best position to handle most situations. It's a big deal that you can take on less tasks like this kind of large-scale search in the future. ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and then the familiar waiter changed: "A few guests inside, I made an appointment with you to meet before someone said downstairs." I'd like to confirm this......"

"That's right, you go down and talk to that guy first, and say we'll go down and see him right away." After saying this, Barrett looked back at his companion in the room, "Guys. Report back on the status of each one. What about spell slots and cost, and can they sustain a fight? ”

Hearing this, Rielly took out a notebook from her waist bag, flipped it over, and then clipped the writing charcoal pick to her ear: "Early this morning, I have entered the trade road guard outside Poitou!" So there's nothing wrong with spell slots. But after three days of surviving in the wild, our consumables really need to be replenished. ”

"Have you been recording the status of your team in this way all this time?" Barrett looked at the notebook in Rielly's hand in surprise, "This is too exaggerated!" I don't remember that our current team has such a large amount of data! ”

"Wouldn't that seem more professional? I'm going to do my best! Rielly, who had taken back her notebook, straightened the twin peaks on her chest.

Barrett, who didn't know what to say for a while, had to adjust his cloak: "In that case, it's time for us to go underground and meet our temporary teammates." Those consumables will just take the time to solve them later. ”

Under Barrett's leadership, the blood-stained gray flowers rushed to the first floor in a hurry, ready to meet their temporary teammates once. But after questioning the waiter who had been arraigned before. Everyone present couldn't believe their eyes - the halfling woman in front of them, who knew that Rielly was half waist tall, was really far from the foreign help in the players' minds.

The woman in front of me looked like a little doll. He has dazzling blonde hair that is not too common among halflings. However, her overly hard facial lines and freckles all over her cheeks were far from what everyone expected.

The silver metal plate is set in tan leather, and the petticoat and the iron plate on the chest are extremely cleverly designed. Protect critical areas without affecting activity. Although the weapon on her waist could only be regarded as a dagger in Barrett's hand, it was already a long sword in her hand.

Barrett, who stepped forward, faced the height of the female halfling in front of him, and had no choice but to squat down directly and stretch out his hand of friendship at the same time: "Hello, I'm Barrett. Boram, are you sent by Lord Earl to assist us? ”

"Hello, Mr. Boreham. I'm Mara. Bottom of the branches, I'll join you for the time being during this operation. I hope we can have a good time working together," the halfling lady in front of her shook Barrett's hand politely.

Barrett patted his head self-deprecatingly: "Miss Branch, you better call me Barrett!" When you shout Mr. Bolum in the city of Poitou, don't you notice that the eyes of the people around you suddenly become strange when they look at me? ”

After all, Poitou is the main city of the Bolum family, and Barrett, who is a member of the family, is here, even if it is only a distant side branch. But after being diǎn named, it will also receive attention that is not available elsewhere.

"If that's the case, then you can just call me by my name! Originally, I was worried that the Earl would arrange an old-fashioned teammate for me! I'm so relieved to see you like this. "Mara. The bottom of the branch laughed and quipped.

Barrett nodded with satisfaction: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance, by the way, there are still your compatriots in our ranks, you should have more common languages." ”

Mara who heard this. The bottom of the branch turned to look at the noodles behind Barrett, but after looking up and down, the halfling lady didn't show any enthusiasm as she should: "Alright! If nothing else, I don't think we should have much time to waste. As you mentioned before, if you are reliable, the sooner we act, the better! ”

"I agree, but my companions have just been through a fierce battle before, and they haven't had time to replenish their consumables yet!" Barrett looked at his companion with a look of embarrassment: "Give us a little time." ”

"That's not fast diǎn! I'll take you to the most complete munitions store in the neighborhood. Everyone is ready to hit the road right away. "Mara. The lady at the bottom of the branch said vigorously, and then she turned around and went out to show a full military atmosphere.

Following Barrett, who walked out of the hotel gate, he saw Mara directly. The bottom of the branch rolled over and stepped on a large dog in the saddle. The ebony shield hanging from the saddle and the short lance beside it testified to the identity of the lady in front of her—a true cavalryman.

The name 'Canine Paw Cavalry' popped into Barrett's mind, but Barrett shook his head and threw it out of his mind.

The so-called canine cavalry regiment is that only halflings riding canines or wolves can join the canine cavalry regiment. They will swear to defend Halflings, Halflings' territories, and other innocent people, patrolling the wilderness in search of threats to individuals or entire communities.

The sheer efficiency and determination with which these knights can catch potential danger will surprise those races who are not halflings, but will also make them more vigilant.

Apparently Mara, who has lived in Boreham for a long time. There's no way Lady Koji was a member of that legion. After all, although there are a lot of halflings in the Bolim territory, it is not a halfling settlement.

Fortunately, the training methods of the Canine Claw Cavalry Regiment are not too much of a secret among the halfling tribes on the surface. In Barrett's opinion, it is impossible for this temporary companion in front of him to learn 100%, at least at least 70% of the original level! (To be continued......)
