17 Complex forces
In addition to the national organization of the Bards, there are several other notable things to be noted by Samuel's Artisan Guild. ”
"The full name of the Artisan Association is the Samuel United Craftsman Association, which is formed by many workers in the city, blacksmiths, clothiers, carpenters, stonemasons, and even shoemakers, etc., all of them are working class, all of them belong to the jurisdiction of this association, this association has an official background behind it, but no one knows which Samuel is taking care of, and at the same time, you only need to care about his presidents, because they can affect your food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the others don't have to care too much, the workers are basically commoners, and the commoners dare not anger the nobles at will. ”
"I think there's someone in front of me who dares to do that. Alan said casually.
"I can also speak to you in a civilian gesture if you need to. The merchant pretended to be serious and said, "You must use honorific titles, be careful, and weigh every word you say..."
"Forget it, then. Alan rolled his eyes: "You continue." ”
Nodding. The merchant said: "Excluding the artisan association, Samuel's gangster power is also worth noting, and it can even be said that you need to pay attention to them" He frowned: "Gangs have always been mixed, unemployed vagrants, murderers, fugitives, everyone, many of them are outlaws, so they can't be treated according to normal thinking, because they always ask for money and don't want to die." ”
"Samuel has a lot of gangsters, but there are only three things to focus on – the Black Rose, the Iron Helmet, and the Red Pit Viper. ”
"Normally, the boss of the Black Rose is unlikely to be hostile to you, because she is a woman, and not a simple woman, she is still a widow. ”
"Widow?" asked Allen with interest.
"Yes, widow, a very good widow. ”
"Is it the kind of thing that makes it difficult for her husband's family to die, and then fights all the way against various relatives of her husband's family and finally becomes the real boss?" Allen instantly thought of these common characters, but obviously, his guess was wrong.
However, the merchant sneered at this: "I don't know if you are confused with the black widow of the capital, this widow is not like that, she was a real nobleman before she became a widow." ”
"Aristocrat?" Alan was more interested.
"Yes, the great nobleman of Samuel, she is the sister of the Duke!"
"The fat duke's sister is a widow?" Alan thought incredulous.
However, the merchant did not answer his question immediately, but looked at Alan suspiciously: "Fat Duke?"
"Well, slip of the tongue, it's not important. Alan waved his hand.
Shaking his head, the merchant did not delve into it, and continued: "Her husband died during the starry moment, so she became a widow.
"That...."Alan wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the merchant raising his hand, he looked at Alan with a strange expression: "You are interested in widows?"
"Not really. Alan shook his head.
"Then why are you asking so much? She's not the point. ”
"I'm just curious..."
"This is really..."The merchant looked at Alan helplessly, "Put away your curiosity, we still need to talk about a lot." ”
"Well, listen to you. Alan nodded honestly.
So I only heard the merchant continue: "The boss of the black rose doesn't need to care, but you have to pay attention to her son, although he is the cousin of the eldest lady, he is also one of her suitors. ”
"Cousin pursuing cousin?"
"This is normal, you must have heard of the fact that one of the emperors of the stars once married his own sister, and the cousins were not conspicuous at all in comparison. ”
"Well, what's his name?"
"Eric Samuel, from his maiden name, is also considered to be a member of the Samuel family. ”
"Eric Samuel?" Alan frowned, "It sounds familiar." ”
"Maybe you'll be familiar with it," said the merchant, "and every time the Duke holds a banquet, Eric attends, and you can't have seen him." ”
"Really?" Alan thought for a long time, and finally found the information he was looking for from the inconsequential memory area of his head, which was a thin young man with the same blond brown hair, with a suave appearance, and he looked pretty good.
"But the duke says he's his nephew, not his nephew?" he asked, puzzled.
"It's normal," said the merchant of course, "the Duke has always been unable to distinguish between relatives, and nephews and nephews are often confused, and even once called his aunt aunt. ”
"It's funny. Alan remembered the reluctant smile of the Eric when he was introduced, and originally thought that he had an opinion about himself or something, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this....
"After talking about Black Rose, let's move on to Iron Helmet" The merchant didn't carefully tell Eren about the idea of the black history of the fat duke, he opened his mouth and said: "Iron Helmet is a gangster organization...."
**
Kleist spoke in great detail, and Alan listened quietly for a morning before he could finish it.
Samuel's power is complicated and complicated, but it is also simple to say, and the complex thing is that it contains a lot of various groups, such as bards, gangsters, craftsmen, nobles, private knights, and even physician mercenaries, etc., all of which are described by Allen is a little head-wrenching.
But in the end, he briefly sorted out the side, but felt that Samuel's forces seemed to be very complicated, but in fact, they couldn't get out of the control of the Samuel family at all, and these forces basically had a Samuel background.
Either relatives of the Grand Duke, or the Grand Duke's subordinates, or even the Grand Duke's friends, and everything else that has anything to do with Duke Gross.
This made Alan understand that the most important thing in Samuel to do a "career" is to get in touch with the lord.
"So my newspaper business has unconsciously solved a problem?" he pondered on his way back to the Pearl Castle.
Samuel's complex and straightforward power makes it impossible for Alan to tell who is hostile to him, but if you look at the fact that everything revolves around the lord, it seems that he doesn't need to be afraid of anything.
After all, judging from the current situation, Duke Gross's attitude towards him is still very good, and if those people really want to target Allen, they probably won't be able to pass the fat duke's level.
"So I can run amok?" he thought of this, and suddenly thought of Jude's idiot, if he really had no scruples, then what was Jude's challenge to the duel?
"Did the fat duke acquiesce, or did he not know beforehand?"
Alan didn't know what it was about, but he didn't care much about it.
Jude looks arrogant and sinister all day long, in fact, it doesn't match his appearance at all, not to mention that his simple and brainless reckless appearance can't even match the sinister side, let's just say that he is arrogant, and his strength is like that in Allen's opinion.
It's not that in terms of combat skills, Alan is not so arrogant that he can really defeat Jude with simple skill crushing, there are supernatural powers in this world, and Jude's secret power Alan has also initially understood.
It's just a preliminary understanding, and he hasn't fought in depth, so he doesn't know Jude's true strength, so under normal circumstances, Alan wouldn't be so careless.
But as the saying goes, a glimpse of the whole leopard, during the martial arts, Jude's last attack obviously used the secret skill amount, he may have reservations, but in the end he was blown away by Allen with a spell.
Alan felt that Jude's attack might not have been as good as it could be, but he couldn't have been so careless when defending against spells!
Because he doesn't know Allen's true strength, or rather, the spell released by Allen, no one knows what kind of power it will have!
Unable to understand the true power, Jude naturally couldn't be careless, and would only use the energy in his body to defend with all his might, but he was still blown away by Allen's two magic star bullets, what does this prove?
Although he didn't dare to guarantee it yet, Alan felt that Jude should not be able to beat him, don't forget, that kind of magic star bullet, he can use it infinitely!
Not daring to do so, just in case, he still agreed to a month later in the dueling, because after a month he would harvest a Moonlight Grass fruit, and then increase his mana.
That's when it's called being prepared.
As for whether he will lose at that time, Alan didn't think much about it, because he felt that he had done the best he could prepare for now, and he had dragged on for a month to analyze his goals and increase his mana, and if he couldn't beat him again, then Alan had no other way.
He can't delay it for two months, so it's not a trust, it's an instigation.
“”
Thinking about his heart, Alan has rushed back to Pearl Castle before he knows it.
The sun was bright in the sky, and it was just past noon, and he didn't want to come back so early, but was going to see the house.
But when he went to see the house with the merchant, he found that the owner of the house was not at home, so they had to make an appointment to go again tomorrow, and if nothing else, he had to return to the castle.
But when he arrived at the castle's glittering golden gates, Alan felt that it was a bad time to return...
At this time in the castle,
A noise crept through the crack in the door to his ears, and the crying and screaming sound was so chaotic that it made people's temples jump.
