"Do you want to survive by taking advantage of the contradictions between horse thieves?" Rielly yawned, "In this case, the initiative is completely in the hands of the other party." Isn't it the stupidity of putting one's own security on the enemy's minds, Barrett? ”

Looking at Rieli's expression, which said, 'What else do you have to say now?' Barrett took off his helmet: "I'm talking about idiots who are perfectly capable of making other choices, but are unwilling to pay for their chances." But now we are in a situation where no matter what we do, we are powerless to return to heaven. At this time, using the Spiritual Victory Method can at least make those aborigines a little more morale. ”

"Is it really that bad?" Claymatis. Bot's expression stiffened a little. The optimism brought about by repelling the attack of the large group of horse thieves just now was immediately diluted a lot.

Barrett looked at the priest in the team and frowned: "You have been in the caravan all the time, haven't you been aware of the current crisis at all?" ”

"I'm sorry! Not really. Players like us don't know that much about this stuff! In reality, there is no such thing. "Claymatis. Bot said, "Besides, even after entering the game, this is the first time we've encountered this situation. ”

"I remember that everyone has been with the caravan more than once! Don't you have learned anything about it from the mouths of the aborigines? Barrett was speechless.

Claudia. Auditore said with a sense of course: "We don't have to work as escorts in the game all our lives. There's no need to know that much! Besides, if there is any problem, won't those team leaders come to us for discussion? ”

"That's because the caravans we've encountered so far are of the type that value fame and credibility." At this point, Barrett glared at Claudia. Auditore glanced at him: "If we're unlucky, maybe we'll be the target of their losses." ”

"We're going to be the target for them to make up for their losses?" Claudia. Auditore was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused.

Instead, the halfling wanderer nodded thoughtfully, "I see what Barrett meant." After all, the value of our equipment is even greater than the cargo of an entire caravan. If the other party really doesn't care whether they will be held accountable by the forces behind us, maybe they may really be able to hit our heads with attention! ”

"According to you, we're really a flock of fat sheep! And if not guarded. If the other party really wants to yin us, the chances of success are quite large. "Talking about Clematis. Bot cocked up his index finger, "Give us some medicine for dinner or water, for example!" Then do it while you're asleep. ”

"That's right! Maybe the caravan won't have any bad intentions when all goes well. But if you encounter the current situation, it will be difficult to maintain it. Inevitably, it is possible to use crooked brains. Speaking of this, Barrett immediately felt that the expressions of his companions had changed.

Players who didn't think that their comrades-in-arms who were supposed to be in the same boat might do it to themselves. After realizing it at Barrett's prompting, the gaze immediately became vigilant. At the same time, he subconsciously turned his head and swept over the nearby aborigines, and his expression became a little suspicious.

I saw a nearly 180-degree change in the attitude of my partners. Barrett suddenly wondered if what he had said before had gone too far. He hurriedly explained, "What are you doing here! Didn't I just say that luckily we were looking for caravans that focused on reputation and credibility? There's no way they're going to do that. Because once such a case is discovered, it is not only these people of the caravan who are damaged. Even the Chamber of Commerce behind them will be hit very hard. ”

"If that's the case! Then why would there be caravans doing the kind of thing you said Barrett? Rielie consciously grasped the contradiction in Barrett's words, and immediately asked rhetorically.

Barrett did not answer Rielly's question directly. Instead, he threw another question to the mage: "Why do you think fame and credibility are so important?" And why the members of the caravan were able to suppress their greed for the sake of the credibility of the Chamber of Commerce behind them. ”

What Barrett means is that conditions change across chambers of commerce and Indigenous peoples. Claymatis. Bot immediately thought of something, but he didn't seem to be able to fully grasp the point.

Rielly, on the other hand, muttered to herself, "It's either the temptation of profit or the fear of punishment that makes sure you don't deviate from it......"

"It's already a bit of a point, but it's really the spirit of the contract, as well as the strength and environment to ensure that the contract is fulfilled." Barrett then began his own rhetoric. "First of all, the most direct factor that binds the members of the caravan is the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce needs to give the members of the caravan enough prospects to develop. Let them miss the future enough, and those people will work hard. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce must be strong enough to ensure that members of the caravan can be held accountable and punished if they violate their duties......"

What restricts the chamber of commerce is the importance of reputation in the environment, whether the law is perfect and the strength of the law. If the caravan's behavior has little impact on the Chamber of Commerce behind it, then it is difficult to guarantee that the pair of superiors and subordinates will not do anything bad in an embarrassed manner.

"So everything depends on what kind of situation the main territory of the chamber of commerce is. If it's a lawless and chaotic place, then everyone must be careful. Even the situation in the commercial republics of the South cannot be taken lightly. Black and gold politics are rampant there, and even if the chamber of commerce has done something shady, it can be whitewashed. As he spoke, Barrett, who seemed to think of something, emphasized: "And it was during the war. Caravan members who are usually in good standing may also behave in some way out of the ordinary. Because at this time, the situation of the Chamber of Commerce is often inadequate. It is difficult to effectively restrain certain taboo individuals. ”

"According to you, the kingdom of Norhan is the only royal paradise on the continent." Rielly wasn't very impressed by Barrett's words that seemed to be gilding the kingdom of Norhan. Although she was born in the kingdom of Norhan, as a player, she has a sense of alienation from everything in the game - it is impossible for her to consider this place her home like the natives. In Rieli's heart. 'Home' refers to the house where he and Lalu are present in reality.

"The true royal paradise is not counted. However, the civilians of the Norhan Kingdom are doing well in the Western Continent. Barrett stretched out his finger and shook it, "At least they just need to live under the protection of the lord." There is no need to worry that rogues will come to burn and loot at any time. And in terms of taxation, the kingdom of Nohan is not heavy in this regard. Even more important is that the lords in the territory of Norhan have enough strength to ensure that the laws they have made can be enforced. After all, from the point of view of stabilizing the situation. No matter how simple the rules are, it is better than no rules. ”

"Is this Barrett's confidence that the caravan members in front of you won't do anything to us?" Claymatis. Bot nodded, feeling that Barrett's statement still made sense.

And Barrett threw a heavier weight at this time: "Don't forget that our identity is not a rootless duckweed!" The strength behind you is another guarantee of security. Judging from the current environment of Nohan, the other party will not do that kind of thing unless he is crazy. Under the joint investigation of several parties. They simply have no chance of escaping sanctions. ”

"Alright! Since you have wasted so much saliva, Barrett, we will pay more attention to this matter in the future. Rieli eventually agreed with Barrett's teaching, "But you need to give us a little bit of time to catch up on the lessons." Of course, I would never want to be in that situation if it could. Even if we win this conflict, all we can do is protect ourselves and open a caravan! ”

"Ugh! How can this be said? Barrett touched his chin, "Maybe I want to be able to ask the living caravan members for a ransom and hush money, and of course the dead loot will be directly accepted." Such behavior is entirely justified. There will be no condemnation. ”

"Barrett, the premise of what you said is that we can find the nearest settlement of intelligent beings on our own! What if the caravan was in the middle of the desert, or if we were on a merchant ship on the vast sea? "Claymatis. Bot immediately thought of several peculiar situations. It's all an environment where the player is left with a conflicting caravan and is unable to survive on their own.

"Nothing in the world is 100% safe, let alone going out on adventures. Since it is a risk, it is naturally risky. Shrugging his shoulders, Barrett re-emphasized, "All we can do is minimize the possible risks." Leave the rest to the system gods! ”

"It's really up to the system god to decide. Anyway, even if we players fail once, we still have a chance to make a comeback. At this point, Rielly had a smile on her face.

Barrett glanced at the mage, "Don't say such pessimistic things. The current situation is very bad for the caravan. But if we really encounter horse thieves again, we have the right to choose to lead the team to break through. So from a personal point of view, it's not very likely that we're in the hands of horse thieves. ”

The anvil on the side touched his chin: "In other words, it will be difficult to get everyone back to Brandenburg intact." ”

"As I said before, it depends on luck. If you're lucky, you might just be fooled. As long as the horse thieves don't come to trouble anymore, the team shouldn't be able to disperse. With that, Barrett turned his gaze to Rielly. That's right, mage! The anvil will get rid of the armor of his upper body. In such an environment, only the power of magic can repair the badly damaged armor. ”

"That's it! It is! We've got that, Lily, and you're going to have to help with that. "Claudia. Auditore also shouted at this time.

Rielly immediately raised her hand in surrender: "Yes! Be! Next, I'll prepare some more repairs to make sure you get back to combat power as soon as possible. But I think it's more efficient to put Clematis, who uses prayer, in charge of this kind of thing! ”

Whether it's the full-body armor of the anvil. Or the chain armor worn by the two ladies. Their restoration requires not only experienced craftsmen, but also tools and spare parts for restoration. In the current environment of the caravan, such a requirement could not be met at all. Therefore, if you want to restore the state of your equipment in a short period of time, you can only rely on supernatural repairs.

However, in general, there is a limit to the amount of damage that can be repaired per cast of repairs. Whether it's the armor of an anvil or the chain mail of a lady, it takes a lot of reuse to achieve the purpose. Just like the last time I repaired a broken axle, it was still Jean Clematis. Bot is more hands-on.

It's too late, wait a while to make up for it............ It's too late, wait a while to make up for it............

"That's it! It is! We've got that, Lily, and you're going to have to help with that. "Claudia. Auditore also shouted at this time.

Rielly immediately raised her hand in surrender: "Yes! Be! Next, I'll prepare some more repairs to make sure you get back to combat power as soon as possible. But I think it's more efficient to put Clematis, who uses prayer, in charge of this kind of thing! ”
