In a room filled with a dark red glow.

Two voices are communicating.

"Are you sure 4 is dead?"

"Baron Dicass is still alive and has survived the winter in the Dark Forest, and No. 4 and No. 8 and No. 10 have not replied, on this basis, I think that No. 4 has failed in his mission, and it is very likely that he will die, and it is very unlikely that he will be captured by Baron Dicas. I think that Baron Decas's mission level has risen to the level of Tam and that there may be a mysterious person behind him. ”

The Tam class in their organization means that the subject of the mission has more strength than the Great Knight.

"Mysteries? …… What are you going to do? ”

"Regardless of whether there is a mysterious person standing behind Baron Decas, but we have already lost a great knight sitting in the principality and three knight-level killers on him, and we have suffered such a huge loss...... So I suggest that if the host still insists on hunting Baron Dicas, then the host must increase the remuneration, in line with the remuneration of the Tamu-level person, and organize the manpower mobilization in several nearby countries at one time, and concentrate all the forces against Baron Dicas! ”

"Do you need to put that much effort into it? He's just a baron. ”

"Yes, but according to the news from the city of Patras, he has just easily defeated an old viscount! According to intelligence assessments, there are likely to be more than ten knights under his command. ”

"How did he do it?" The voice was surprised, "The intelligence shows that he has not been a great person before!" ”

"It's not clear yet! All we know is that all this changed after Baron Decas was driven out of the city of Serre. There is a possibility that Baron Dikas was on his way to the Dark Forest and a mystic was added to his team. This is the only reason that can explain this singular situation of Baron Dicas. ”

"The Mystic?"

"If we want to continue hunting Baron Dicas, it is not enough to invest all the regular forces of our organization, I suggest, ask for Zero to join. After all, it can only be the mystic who can deal with the mystery. ”

"No way!" The voice flatly refused, "We can't take any chances!" ”

Another voice fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the voice that flatly refused said, "Give up." ”

"Yes!"

The city of Serre, the castle where the Odyssey family stood for many years.

In the council hall, Grand Duke Odyssey VII sat at a quaint desk.

On the desk, there are several executive decrees made of parchment.

A middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking like a nobleman walked in softly, came to the Grand Duke of Odyssey VII, and said, "His Royal Highness, report from the North." ”

The Grand Justice of Odyssey VII lowered his head to review the documents, and when he heard his words, he did not raise his head, but said, "Say! ”

A simple word, but with an unmistakable flavor.

This is the taste of those who have been in power for a long time, and those who have been in power all year round.

The middle-aged man's heart sank, and he hurriedly reported, "Your Royal Highness, a high-quality salt has appeared in the north, as white as snow. ”

The Grand Duke of the Odyssey didn't say a word, as if he didn't care at all.

The middle-aged man continued to report, "I heard that this snow salt first appeared in Viscount Grion's City of Patras, and then spread to other territories. ”

The Grand Duke of Odyssey still didn't react at all.

"However, according to rumors, the source of the snow salt came from the dark forest, to be precise, from the domain of Baron Dicas, and some say that Baron Dicas found a high-quality salt mine in his domain."

This time, the Grand Duke of Odyssey finally raised his head, and in his cloudy eyes, the essence flashed, and he glanced at the middle-aged man without anger, which suddenly made the middle-aged man feel uncomfortable being seen through.

Then the middle-aged man heard the Odyssey Archduke say unhurriedly, "That's his luck!" Buck, I don't want you to get involved in something you don't belong to, it's not a good thing for you! ”

A cold sweat suddenly broke out behind the middle-aged man, and he hurriedly said, "I didn't do anything to make you feel unpleasant, Your Highness the Grand Duke. ”

The middle-aged man originally wanted to talk about the private fight between Baron Dicass and Viscount Grien, but after this warning, he suddenly didn't dare to say it.

"That's good. Let's get out. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The middle-aged man respectfully withdrew.

At this time, a silent smile suddenly appeared on the face of Odyssey VII's great meritorious, and he whispered to himself, "In a few months, you can beat an old viscount without any backhand ability!" Looks like I was right to let you out! Niya, this is already my greatest protection for him! ”

The Grand Duke of Odyssey VII fell into memory.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Viscount Grion's compromise brought the war to a quick end.

Escorted by several of William's men, Viscount Greon returned to Patras and quickly regained control of the situation – under William's watchful eye.

The original merchant, Hughes, was rescued.

Viscount Grion's wife and children were sent to the town of Nisse to receive protection from Baron de Decas.

Everything, as if calm has been restored.

The only thing that is not calm is the exchange of the two territories of the Dikas Territory and the Viscount of Grien.

Under the impotent indulgence of Viscount Grien, a steady stream of people and resources poured into the territory of Dicas.

The town of Nisse, the only town in Dicas's domain, is becoming more and more prosperous.

Outside the town is a continuous stream of fertile land that has been cultivated.

In the town, wooden buildings have been built and stand on straight streets.

Taverns, hostels, chambers of commerce, bathhouses, public toilets, schools and much more.

The streets are filled with traders and townspeople.

The influx of people and capital contributed to the prosperity of the town of Nisse, which in turn attracted further people and capital from outside.

The whole town of Nisse is full of life, like the newborn sun.

As the first administrator of Nisse, old John smiled from ear to ear, and every day he was tired and happy.

However, the continuous influx of population also made Old John feel the pressure of law and order.

The Knights were on standby, and the security team, in addition to constant patrols, also set up checkpoints at the gates of the city walls to check the people passing by on a daily basis.

For the sake of generating income, each person who enters and exits is charged a Poul copper coin to enter the city.

It's cheap and affordable for almost every populace.

So it was carried out in a hurry.

On this day, a strange woman in a black robe came out of the dark forest and suddenly visited the town of Nisse.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few years, and a small town has sprung up here?" The strange woman doesn't look big on the outside, but her tone is old-fashioned.

She groaned for a moment, then walked towards the town of Nisse.
