Chapter Eighty-Four: Some Intelligence

"Poof!" Zhao Ziyu couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Yiyi's embarrassed appearance, and she was about to choke Lin Yiyi's neck when she got angry.

"You lied to me!" Lin Yiyi said viciously.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Ziyu pointed to his head and laughed: "Do you have Shit in your head!" It's such a simple thing......"

"Oops, my belly!"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Ziyu covered her abdomen and squatted on the ground in pain, Lin Yiyi's elbow strike was not small, she pursed her lips, and when she saw Zhao Ziyu's wail, she suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

The three newcomers all smiled when they saw the harmonious and interesting scene of the team, but Mu Lan didn't have time to take care of these two living treasures, she spread out the magic scroll she had just bought on the table and studied it carefully.

Although Lin Yiyi almost made a mess, the skin of the Thunder Giant Bear was still sold, and the owner of the pawnshop at that time never let go in the face of Shi Zhengyang's apology, so he had no choice but to change shops and bargain for the price of 3 Dius gold coins.

However, Julian heard about their lack of money, and immediately "kindly funded" a bag of Dius gold coins, which made Shi Zhengyang even more embarrassed.

"By the way, let's get down to business first." Zhao Ziyu finally recovered, he glared at Lin Yiyi and then looked at Mu Lan, "There is really no valuable information about the Zhuo Ruitan barbarians, after all, this place is still far from the territory of the barbarians, and they are all rumors in the market, such as the legend that the barbarians eat children and the like......"

Mu Lan also listened carefully to these things, and she keenly captured some things from Zhao Ziyu's narration, such as the more and more rumors of the barbarians in the north in the past two years, more than in the previous years combined, and for example, someone occasionally saw barbarian soldiers in the wilderness in the north......

"This shows that the Zhuo Ruitan barbarians may make big moves, such as invading the south." Shi Zhengyang analyzed, "The time when we entered the world of reincarnation is also at an opportunity, and the kingdom is about to start a war with the barbarians. ”

Mu Lan nodded, and Zhao Ziyu said: "There is another interesting thing, there is a strange thing about the ragon forest north of Oak Town, many Orions who make a living in the forest have disappeared, and Orion's family has issued a commission in the Mercenary Association. ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes turned to him, Zhao Ziyu's face became serious, "Someone heard a strange singing voice in the Lagon Forest, it sounded like a black mage chanting a spell, the lord here is very sensitive to the rumors of the black mage, and has increased the commission bounty, and there have been several mercenary teams going deep into the forest to investigate, but they have not come back until now." ”

Mu Lan spread out the parchment map, the mapping technology of this world is very backward, and there is no scale on the map, all of them outline parts of the northern continent in a way similar to stick figures, and the estimation accuracy is also very poor.

She found the location of the Lagon Forest on the map, a large forest that covered a large area of the northern part of the kingdom, and the cities north of the forest became sparse, with only a few large military fortresses, and some distance further north was the desolate tundra tundra, where the boundary between the kingdom and the barbarians in the north was blurred.

"Regarding the matter of the Lagon Forest, someone in the Lord's Mansion has also mentioned it." Shi Zhengyang recalled the things that he was watching in the lord's mansion this day, and thought about it and said: "The baron attaches great importance to the affairs of the Lagong Forest, and he has to send the city defense team over, and there are many soldiers who are mobilizing on the day we first arrived. ”

"Oh?" This is interesting, Mu Lan listened to everyone's story while looking at the sheepskin map, the rumors about the Lagong Forest are obviously not a day or two, but there is only a military movement today, which is a bit unusual.

"Shall we go and see?" Lin Yiyi became excited as soon as she heard something interesting, and said disregardfully: "Is the black magician so powerful, he killed a magician a few days ago, we have a genius warlock, and a super powerful magic archer." As he spoke, he patted himself, looking like he was boasting.

After Lin Yiyi finished speaking, she saw that no one answered, and she was thinking about things with a lot of heart, so she waved her hand stupidly.

After everyone reported the information they knew, Shi Zhengyang continued to go to the Lord's Mansion to keep an eye on it, and Mu Lan also returned to the room to study the magic scroll, but she was a little preoccupied with two things, thinking about the current situation in the Norswar Kingdom.

While thinking about it, it was already late at night, and Mu Lan was about to rest, when there was a knock on the door.

"It's me!"

The door was gently pushed open, and the person who came was the blonde young man Julian, who smiled gently, and then said apologetically: "It's a little disturbing at such a late hour, please forgive me, I see that the head of your team is not here, but there are some things I want to discuss with you." ”

Mu Lan pulled up a chair, doubtful but still politely said, "Please sit down!" ”

Julian sat down in a clear posture, very elegant and calm, presumably after years of etiquette teaching, Mu Lan became more curious about his identity.

"I want to hire you." Julian was not too polite, and went straight to the point, "The destination of my trip is Willenburg, which is a northern fortress, but the road is long, and I have to pass through the Ragon Forest, which is infested with monsters, I wanted to recruit some people on the spot, but I can't find a better mercenary than you, your skills have opened my eyes." ”

Mu Lan smiled slightly, what Julian said was very useful, and she praised them at the same time, and she had the intention of going to the Lagon Forest to investigate, so after thinking about it, she said: "We are going to the Lagon Forest, but we don't have to hire it." ”

Julian was a little puzzled, and looked at Mu Lan with an inquiring gaze.

"We still have business to do." Mu Lan said: "I can go with you and escort you through the Lagon Forest, but Wiellenburg is not our destination, and we will have to part ways when the time comes." ”

Julian fell silent, he thought for a while, and said: "Well, only the Ragon Forest is the most dangerous, there are many Norswar military deployments in the north, and it is relatively safe......"

"But I'll pay anyway." Julian's smile was beautiful, he was a bookish and elegant young man, and he gave an elegant chest salute when he left.

...

If you don't sleep in a room with Lin Yiyi, there is no insomnia, Mu Lan had a rare good night's sleep, and Shi Zhengyang rushed back early the next morning, he waved his hand helplessly, and his tone was a little regretful.

"I stared at the Lord's Mansion all night, but unfortunately I found nothing."

Shi Zhengyang rubbed his temples, he didn't sleep all night and was a little in good spirits, he took a sip of the pine needle tea that is a specialty of this world, and then said: "It should be the reason for staying away from the royal capital, most of the nobles in this remote place are not taken seriously, and there is no shadow of the royal capital's power at all, I have inquired, the baron usually hunts for fun or looks for women, and he just feels like an ordinary squire." ”
