Chapter 9: Finally to the City of Netham

PS: Thank you Biwnner and Moon Night V Liufeng for your recommendation votes, your support is my motivation, thank you.

When the three Diggles returned to the tavern, they found that only five or six of the mercenaries and adventurers were still eating and drinking, and the others were gone, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, but Grubb was not on the edge of the bar. Diggle knew that something must have happened, so he called the waiter to take Norwich and the two to the second floor to rest, and went to the back kitchen of the tavern himself.

Norwich and the others weren't nosy, they had only cooperated with the mage a few times anyway, and one of the guidelines for adventurers was to be less nosy, so that they could live a long time.

In the basement of the back kitchen of the tavern, Diggle finally met Grubb, and looking at Grubb with a decadent face, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?" Grubb".

Grubb replied in a low voice, "Diggle, I messed things up, I didn't listen to your advice, and I walked the information of that Excellency out without permission, trying to attract other organizations to probe his information, and I succeeded and failed. Other organizations came, but instead of discovering the specific strength of this Excellency, they exposed both of us, and this stronghold was about to be abandoned. ”

Diggle said incredulously, "Damn, what did you do?" ”

Grubb had no choice but to tell what had happened, and Diggle had calmed down after hearing this, thought for a moment and said, "Can you be sure which organization Darles is?" ”

Grabb shook his head and said, "I can't be sure, but I'm sure he's not the mad dogs of Santa, they only show up where gold coins, Outpost is not a good place, and the rest of the organization doesn't know." ”

Diggle nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Can you be sure that the crossbow that killed Dalce was a demon-breaking arrow made of Mithril?" Grabb nodded hurriedly and said, "Yodala, I swear by the name of the Huishou family, it is really a demon-breaking arrow made of Mithril, I saw at least six of them, oh my God!" This Excellency is really too rich. ”

Curious, hungry for money, and never conformist character traits are halflings, which are also reflected in Grubb. Diggle slapped his forehead and shouted, "Enough, Grubb! Why should I partner with you, when you can't be reliable? I asked you to report to your superiors about this Excellency, not for you to investigate it on your own, and I have also exposed the harm you have harmed. It seems that to monitor the affairs of this Excellency, we can only ask the masters in the alliance to take action; Now that the stronghold is abandoned, you and I will go with you tomorrow to meet the Lord and return to Netam City together to report back to the League's higher-ups. I hope there won't be a conflict, I don't want to be his enemy. ”

Grubb asked, puzzled, "Didn't the Excellency tell us not to provoke him again?" Why are we still in the past. Diggle didn't want to explain anything to this rookie agent, because it didn't make sense, the halfling's personality was not suitable for being an agent, and he didn't know how the alliance's top brass considered the problem of personnel absorption.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning, when Zuo Ze and his party met on the first floor of the tavern, Norwich and Simon greeted each other stiffly, and Diggle smiled apologetically at Zuo Ze and Vader; Zuo Ze didn't care at all, he just said it early, but Vader still remembered that Zuo Ze told him that this damn mage was a spy, and snorted a little angrily.

Zuo Ze patted Vida's back, there is no way who makes Vida look so strong, with a body size of two meters and three, Zuo Ze's height of one meter eighty-two has no advantage at all, and he is embarrassed to pat him on the shoulder.

When Grubb brought breakfast, Vader's gaze began to shift again, but this time it was against Grubb, Zuo Ze looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel funny, Vader, who was sitting like a giant bear, looked at the halfling with fierce eyes, and the contrast in this picture was really strong.

However, in order to hurry as soon as possible, Zuo Ze had no choice but to interrupt Vida's tiger gaze and said, "Okay, Vida." Let's eat, I'm going to have a round with the caravan, I don't want to walk to Nessam City. ”

After listening to Zuo Ze's words, Vader regained his momentum and began to eat breakfast; The rest of the people also put the heart back into their stomachs, and the momentum of high-level professionals is not something that everyone can bear casually, such as Grubb, who is already sweating like rain and looks like he is about to collapse.

Diggle hurriedly helped Grabb to sit down, because Norwich and the two were beside him, so he had to bow and thank Zuo Ze for his generous forgiveness.

After breakfast, the group came to the meeting point of the caravan. Looking at the heavy carriage pulled by two horses in front of him, Zuo Ze felt a burst of curiosity, this is something that can only be seen in museums on earth.

As a strong man who can be called "Your Excellency", Zuo Ze was fortunate to sit in the merchant's carriage instead of walking on his own; But when the caravan set off, Zuo Ze felt deep regret; The carriage without shock absorption is too bumpy, and it is better to walk.

Zuo Ze, who didn't intend to ignore the merchant, sat in the carriage and began to exchange information with Ao in his mind.

I walked like this for six or seven hours, and in a world without watches, time was completely estimated. Finally, when Zuo Ze, who was sitting in the car, heard a cheer from outside, and it sounded like he had arrived near the city of Netham.

Opening the car door, Zuo Ze looked at the city in the distance. The first thing that catches your eye is the gray city wall that is nearly fifteen meters high, and the soldiers standing guard on the wall, because of the distance, it is impossible to see the situation of these soldiers in detail; The city wall facing Zuoze is nearly three kilometers long, and the gate is nearly five meters high on three sides, and there is an endless stream of travelers and caravans entering and exiting.......

Looking at this scene in front of him, it would be false to say that it was not shocking, just like the ancients looked at modern high-rise buildings, Zuo Ze looked at this ancient city wall, and was also shocked.

Diger, who always paid attention to Zuo Ze's movements, introduced with a very eye-catching expression, "Your Excellency, this is Netam City." The outer city wall of nearly ten kilometers is composed of granite boulders, and the mage attaches an anti-magic array to it, she protects about 150,000 permanent residents in the city (the area of human settlements is about 60 square meters), and there is also an inner city with a total length of two kilometers, protecting the noble district, temple area and other important areas in the city; Safety and prosperity are synonymous with her, and if Silvermoon City is the brightest jewel in the Northlands, then Nethame City is the pearl of the Silvermoon Alliance. ...... in the middle of town"

Listening to Diggle's words like a bard, Zuo Ze interrupted in a cold voice, "I remember you said that Netam City should be ruled by Neverwinter, how did it become the pearl of the Silver Moon Alliance?" ”

Diggle didn't say anything when he was interrupted, but Zuo Ze's words made him cough awkwardly. Zuo Ze ignored him, but beckoned to Norwich and called him over.

Although Norwich didn't know what the mysterious Excellency was looking for him, he still ran quickly, saluted, and said, "Your Excellency, what can I do for you?" ”

Zuo Ze took out a troll fang, handed it to Norwich, and said calmly, "Give you a chance, as long as you have a gold coin, it will be yours." ”

Norwich looked at Zuo Ze a little at a loss, he didn't have a total of less than one gold coin in change, how could he get this troll fang, and thought that Zuo Ze didn't know the value of the fang, Norwich, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, the troll fang in your hand can be exchanged for a hundred platinum coins in the adventure guild in the city." ”

Zuo Ze said indifferently, "I know, but now I want to sell it to you, it's worth it, you have the final say!" With that, he threw the fangs in his hand to Norwich. The rest of the people were stunned by this scene, this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing would happen in front of their eyes.

Diger's eyes were a little red, but thinking about Zuo Ze's strength, he took his desire back to his heart. Simon secretly pulled the corner of Norwich's clothes, so that the stupid Norwich came back to his senses, and quickly said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your gift." Tampas is on top, and I Norwich swear I will repay you. ”

Norwich, who reacted, had already figured out Zuo Ze's intentions, and hurriedly asked Simon to take out all the money on him, plus all his own money, to raise enough gold coins.

Taking the money bag handed over by Norwich, Zuo Ze said indifferently, "Live well, I don't need your repayment." It's just a deal! "It's better to start your own plans and help others (Norwich's adventurist team has lost most of their manpower), and it's fun to have fun, they've already arrived in the city anyway, and the next plans have nothing to do with them, so it's better to make a break as soon as possible, and make a good impression on the Harpists Alliance, so as to avoid any more accidents.

Ignoring everyone's gazes, Zoze beckoned Vader to follow, parted ways with the others, and walked towards the gates of Netam City.

Under the grateful gaze of Norwich and Simon, Zuo Ze and the two drifted apart.
