"We'd better listen to the butler."
The young man with a smile on his face all the time said:
"I don't think our mission is to assassinate the baron, but to have another purpose...... I'm right, Mr. Butler. β
"Of course, please don't worry, the paper is just a briefing, please press the button next to the chair for detailed information."
The butler wiped his sweat and said.
"Button?"
The dwarven warrior Lang Man became alert, and looked at a light-colored button next to the chair:
"I mean, old man, this thing doesn't explode when you press it, does it?"
"Are you kidding, honorable dwarven warrior, how could it explode? Am I not here with you? I don't want to die. β
The butler clutched his chest and made a look of fear of death.
"That's just as well."
Hearing that he was called a warrior, the dwarven warrior's face immediately turned good, and he stretched out a hand, gritted his teeth, and pressed it.
"A hillbilly who has never seen the world, this is the switch that activates the light screen, and it actually says that it will explode."
The red-haired human warrior whispered and pressed the button.
"Master, I went to take a look, the wire under the button is connected to an ordinary terminal host, and no dangerous items have been found underground or around."
A voice sounded in the head of the man in the black robe.
Seeing a few people either hesitating, or refreshingly opening the light screen to watch, the housekeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just a wind, that's acceptable."
After looking at it for a moment, the archer's face softened.
But then he frowned again:
"But this banquet shouldn't be accessible to everyone, right? I'm not an aristocrat, so there's no way I'm going to get an invitation. β
"Please rest assured, my host has prepared temporary identification documents for everyone, as well as matching clothes. Invitations are naturally not a problem; If you are sure to accept this mission, I can have it brought to me right away. β
After the butler finished speaking, he looked at the watch on his wrist:
"Time has passed, and it seems that this time the task can only be completed by a few of you here. My master is very time-conscious, and if he does not meet the deadline, he will be deemed to have given up the commission. β
"Wait! My companions will definitely come. β
The red-haired warrior stood up and said:
"She has always been a punctual person. It's just that we had a fight before coming here, probably because we were delayed on the road for a while because of anger, and it should be there soon. β
"[She], is your companion a woman?"
The butler groaned for a moment:
"Although the master hates people who are not punctual, this mission does require a female member, and if it is her, it can wait......"
"Stephanie, why do I think that human warrior's voice is a little familiar?"
Natsu, who was dressed in a black robe, asked in his mind.
"The hosts. You may have forgotten that this red-haired man was one of the two next door to the mercenary quarters. β
Stephanie in the air looked at the man and replied to her.
Next door?
Xia suddenly thought of the unlucky man and woman.
"What's the random profession today, take a look." She said to the little Lori in black.
"Today's three professions are thieves, singers, and hackers, masters."
"Hackers?"
Xia's mind came alive:
It's a new thing, and she hasn't had a chance to try it yet.
As for the Rogue, it overlapped with the Assassin in some places, and the Auto Mode class level was too low, and her Assassin was already rushing very high at this point. There's no need to choose at all;
Not to mention the singer, should she be an idol singer in this world?
"Turn on the automatic mode and choose the hacking profession."
She gave Stephanie a command.
While everyone was looking at the light screen seriously. Natsu's legs, hidden in the black robe, moved slightly.
Then she gently took off one of her shoes on tiptoe and stepped on the line of the ground, a faint light shining from the black stockings.
"Touching the technology cable, analyzing...... Prepare for an invasion. β
A metallic synthesized sound sounded in my head.
"But then again, the place we are going to is Baron Brooke's mansion after all, and it is not a simple pursuit to be discovered, most of those guards will directly kill them, and the danger is too high."
The archer male said as he looked at the information on the light screen.
"1000 magic crystals! Think about it, guys. β
The butler had a bag brought over and pulled out a handful of magic crystals that shone blue. Rubbed it twice in his hand, and made a pleasant sound:
"The remuneration paid by my master is not gold. It's the Magic Crystal! Now everyone knows that the price of magic crystals is high. And it continues to rise wildly, and now one magic crystal can be exchanged for 105 gold coins, which is yesterday's current price!
In a seductive tone, he said:
"As long as you complete this mission, you will immediately have 105,000 gold coins! That's a lot of money, and even if you make a home in Canning, it's not too difficult...... Of course, I personally don't recommend that everyone live in fear under the baron's nose. β
As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at a few people.
Hearing his words, the dwarven warrior burst out laughing.
"What an interesting old fellow."
He stuck out his head and said to Natsu, who was sitting next to him:
"It's a lot more fun than those lifeless, pointy ears, isn't it."
But seeing that the black-robed man ignored himself, he couldn't help but retract his head stupidly, and muttered in a low voice:
"That's why I hate these magicians...... I don't understand any sense of humor. β
"Damn, shit! Why hasn't Linda arrived yet? β
The red-haired warrior got up from his chair and walked around the room, looking anxious.
"Let me start with it, I'm only responsible for observing and warning, not fighting."
The archer male closed the light screen and looked at the butler as he spoke.
"Naturally, there is no problem with this, the contract is very clear, if something happens during the mission, you can escape on your own. Of course, we still have people in there to watch, and if you want to deliberately abandon the task and take the deposit, you will leave. Hehe......"
The butler chuckled and did not continue.
"Hey. This Brooke City Lord is terrifying? And what is that skinning baron? Is there anyone who can sue me. β
The dwarven warrior asked, sitting there.
His words brought the red-haired warrior to a halt.
The archer glanced at him:
"Dwarf, you just came to Canning?"
"I've been here for a few months, but I've been hunting in the forest for most of the time, so I don't know much about the conditions."
The dwarven warrior confessed with his hands spread.
"I see." The archer nodded: "Otherwise, even if you don't know about it, you should have heard about the deeds of this city lord." β
I only heard him lower his voice:
"Ten years ago, there was a rebellion in this area, when Brooke had just taken office as the lord of the city, and he sent an army to kill the rebels. It's not a big deal...... The point is that he then stripped off all the skins of those corpses and hung them bloodily outside the city gate for a whole year. β
When he said this, there was horror in his tone:
"Even now, those who lived through the original incident pass through the city gates, and it is said that they can smell blood in their noses, and they don't understand how horrible it is until they see it with their own eyes."
"That's right, but because it was the honor of the kingdom that was defended, Brooke was not punished. Instead, he consolidated his position and became the veritable ruler of Canning, and no one here dared to disobey him. β
The butler took his words. To the people in the house, he said:
"But don't worry, our mission is not to crusade against the murderous lords, but only to take two things out of that place."
He nodded at the young man and Natsu, and explained:
"Four mercenaries are in charge of watching the wind, and the other two are in charge of picking up an object at a designated place and then finding a way to get out of there with it; Those who look out for the wind only need to wait for the signal, or stay at the banquet for two hours; According to the terms of the contract, if something happens to the two of them, the rest of them can escape. This is not a breach of contract. β
"How is the baron doing, or is he skinning the others at every turn?" The dwarven warrior rubbed his arm and asked:
"There's one more problem. Among those people...... Are there any dwarves? β
"Rest assured, it's been a long time since there have been such rumors."
Heard his question. The butler replied with a strange face:
"All you have to do is go to the dinner party......"
"I've heard something about this baron."
The young man, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly said:
"Although there are no more rumors of skinning, he still seems to be doing some terrible thing in secret...... In addition, there are several theories, such as Baron Brooke was originally a demon and the like; However, the people who said these words all disappeared mysteriously, and no one dared to discuss these things openly, which is why our dwarven friends could not learn the news. β
Seeing everyone staring at him in disbelief, a smile appeared on the young man's face again:
"My name is Agetra and I'm a bard, and I've collected a little bit because I'm interested in these stories."
"Stephanie, is that a ...... name?"
Natsu's body shook slightly, and he sat on the chair and straightened up.
- May 983 in the Ephemeris ephemeris, the bard Agetra. Book.
She remembered the author who wrote the legend of the ancient magician.
"That story was written in the year 983 of the Ephemeris, but why does it still look so young now? Quick, check out his information! β
There was some hair in her heart:
Could it be that like Wendy the vampire, this young man with a smile on his face is also a terrifying powerhouse?
"Master, his name is not Agtra, his profession is indeed a bard......"
Stephanie's voice was a little hesitant.
That's right!
Xia's heart sank:
Wendy, the vampire, once said that the man had been hunted down by the Empire and the Order, and had been incognito, so Agatra should not be his real name.
Thinking of this, when Xia looked at the young man again, his eyes had become a little worried:
How could such a strong man come to Canning City?
Could it be that the city lord really has a problem? The one in front of him has a history of destroying the entire Wang Li School Park.,Until now, the old school building is still in ruins.γ
The young man seemed to sense her gaze and smiled at her.
His appearance is not very handsome, but at this time, there is a mysterious feeling in Xia's eyes.
At this time, the little Lori in black finally continued:
ββ¦β¦ But the master, his level is less than 300, and he shouldn't be the same person as the vampire said. β
What's the horse?
Hearing this, Xia Qi almost jumped up from his chair:
Less than level 300, that's at most a three-turn profession, which ...... Is it also a well-known powerhouse on the mainland?
- It turned out to be an imposter!
"This damn liar!"
She hated it so much:
"When this mission is over...... Hum! β
She was thinking about how to give this imposter a little color, when she heard the butler's voice ring:
"I repeat, you don't have to worry about Lord Brooke, you just need to complete your mission...... But there's one thing to be aware of. β
A light screen also appeared in his hand, and he operated on it for a while, and then an image of a sharp-eyed man appeared in front of everyone's eyes:
"This man's name is Primo, and he currently lives in the southeast of the City Lord's Mansion, so don't go near there, because he's a great mage."
The housekeeper looked at the few people whose faces changed suddenly, and said slowly:
"This archmage usually doesn't go out, and it is impossible for him to attend this dinner party in his capacity, so he will not pose a threat to you; I'll admit that there are some dangers in this mission, but think about the money you get when you complete it, how can there be a good thing in the world to make a lot of money without taking risks? β
"Old fellow, are you sure the Grand Magus won't show up at the dinner?"
The dwarven warrior holds the battle axe beside him:
"What if he does show up? I'm afraid he can kill everyone we have here by himself. β
His question seemed to speak to everyone's mind, including the young man, who was silent.
"In that case, you can leave on your own, the deposit you paid will not be recovered, and it will not be considered a breach of contract, what do you think?"
The housekeeper happily gave the answer everyone wanted.
"That's pretty much it."
The dwarven warrior released the battle axe in satisfaction.
"Linda, what the hell are you doing...... Why haven't you come here yet? β
The red-haired warrior whispered, looking a little restless.
"Now there's only one last tricky question left."
The housekeeper looked at his watch and said:
"The female mercenary hasn't arrived yet...... For you, this can be a big hassle. β
He looked up at several people:
"At the baron's invitation were two young noble brothers and sisters from the Rychel Mountains, and several of their retinues; Other words...... One of you has to dress up as a woman. β
A look of embarrassment appeared on his face:
"I know it's weird, but I don't know why, I received news that there were two women, but now there is actually only one, so I have to sacrifice someone." (To be continued) R580
