Fox Town isn't technically a town near a riverbank. After walking for a long time, it occurred to Brunei that when they disembarked and found that they were not in a port, but in a large wasteland, he should have reacted that it would be a long journey waiting for them. Furthermore, when he was on the ship, he should have considered that even if the Rama gang as a river pirate wanted to release the hijacked "cargo", they would not choose a port with many people and a lot of eyes, and there might be security forces.

Fortunately, although this is a stupid oversight, according to the system, Brunei, which has "power", "status", and "power", no longer needs to pay too much for it. The consequence was that he only followed Jack for most of the day.

It was early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight had just shone on the river, and it was already afternoon, and the period when the sun was at its strongest, and the great fireball, though still radiating endless light, was already a little weak in terms of temperature.

After such a long time, Jack still looks energetic, his steps are steady, his breath is relaxed, he looks very adapted to the feeling of walking on land, he is not even wearing shoes, the thick calluses under his feet make him ignore all the ups and downs on the ground, from beginning to end The state is similar, not to mention the speed has not changed much; compared to Brunei, the soles of his feet are sore, covered with sweat, and his panting posture seems to be able to fall to the ground at any time.

He had to admit that it was probably because he hadn't walked such a long way for a long time, and the benefits of the days of trekking in the endless mountains had gradually disappeared for his body, but fortunately, there was still a lot of endurance left at that time, and coupled with the ridiculous reserve of being a person of "status", he had been holding back the fatigue of not expressing himself.

That being said, Brunei has been waiting for an opportunity. Specifically, he is ready, and the moment Evie shouts that he is tired, he will "considerately" propose a break. Unfortunately, Elvie's physical strength and endurance were the opposite of her rather delicate appearance, she never shouted tired, and even though she was sweating, she didn't look as embarrassed as Brunei.

But when you think about it, it's not the first time she's been surprised. Just looking at her image, it is impossible to see that she will have the courage to seize the opportunity to suddenly give Captain Rama a knife, as well as the persistence and courage to entangle with Captain Rama underwater and fight for her life.

"Can't people be disguised, or, is there anything hidden?" Brunei panted as he looked at Elvie, whose clothes were slightly soaked with sweat, and thought thoughtfully, but only thought about it, "Forget it, if it has anything to do with me, you will always know." ”

After all, it was just one of the many thoughts that had crossed Brunei's mind during the long, boring walk, and he wasn't even interested in rambling with the system on the subject as usual.

Brunei took another step forward, probably because he didn't see the road clearly, and stepped into the somewhat soft soil, and almost fell.

The appearance of Fox Town was a bit of a surprise to Brunei.

He had thought that when he was in a hurry, he would probably feel a warm atmosphere of something about to be accomplished before he arrived at his destination. It's the kind of atmosphere where everyone doesn't speak, but it seems to be lively, and you don't feel lonely, bored, or tired anymore, and you just want to move forward.

In his experience, this atmosphere is usually accompanied by visible signs, such as the scattered low houses, or a small section of dirt road paved with stones, which is at least a little trampled on by people, unlike the previous walks, potholes, sometimes hard and sometimes soft, and large and small stones embedded in it, which is a kind of torture for those who walk on it, even if it does not trip people.

But all the things he thought he should have had didn't appear. When Jack suddenly stopped and said something, he was nervous for a while, thinking that something had happened, and then he reacted, and Jack said "It's here." ”。

He was stunned, blinked vigorously, and finally found the location of "Fox Town" in the dull yellow in front of him. As far as he could see, there was not a single building in the town that was taller than one floor, all of them were houses made of dark yellow planks, large and small, but the tallest one was no more than five meters high. Perhaps due to the perennial erosion of wind and sand, the houses were basically dilapidated and dirty, mixed with the vegetationless and yellow earth, which made Brunei wonder how Jack had been found in one fell swoop.

"It's hard to imagine what this is like in a town not far from the big river. Brunei couldn't help but feel a little thirsty and licked his lips.

Jack had been looking proud, but when he heard his words, he looked back and was suddenly shocked, as if he had accidentally killed an ordinary citizen, and he didn't even know how to stand normally, and apologized helplessly: "Ah, Mr. Castro! I'm sorry, I was so stupid to tell you that Fox Town was so far from the river, I should have—should—"

Halfway through speaking, Jack suddenly got stuck, and it could be seen that although he had always tried his best to please Brunei, it was really not his specialty to meet him, and it was because Brunei was looking a little embarrassed now that he noticed the problem of being too far away.

Brunei didn't mean to be sarcastic, thought about it, and didn't explain, just coughed twice: "It's okay, don't care." ”

Alvie, who was on the side, took out a bright silver kettle that looked like it was worth a lot of money out of nowhere, and Brunei raised her hand to pick it up, but she dodged it and sent it to Brunei's mouth. Brunei took a sip with a little blushing and coughed twice, "Elvie, thank you." Jack, you don't have to worry so much about those little things, since this is Fox Town, according to the previous agreement, I still have to ask you to be our guide. Well, first of all, find Elvi - and me a temporary place to stay, and then, please take me to the Adventurers' Guild. I know you're still on assignment, but, I'm really worried I'm going to find a place, so if you'd like, please—"

Perhaps realizing that he had missed an opportunity to please Brunei, Jack took out his water bottle and was drinking, when he suddenly heard Brunei's words, and was busy trying to agree, but he almost choked on the water, and coughed desperately: "Ahem-ahem, it's my honor to serve you, ahem, Mr. Castro!"

Brunei smiled at Jack with a soothing smile, he was a little skeptical at first that his smile would have the desired effect, but judging from Jack's exaggerated reaction, the effect seemed to be a little more than expected.

After communicating with Jack, who seemed to be as excited as if Brunei didn't smile at him, but stuffed him with a lot of money, Brunei learned that although the entire Fox Town was theoretically controlled by the Adventurers' Guild, Jack, who had been here several times, had never entered the "Adventurers' Guild" that Brunei said, that is, the main building of the Adventurers' Guild that should theoretically exist.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Castro. When Jack said this, he seemed to finally realize that he really couldn't please others, and he couldn't even do what he needed to do properly, and his tone began to gradually return to normal, and it seemed that he was starting to give up on himself, "I used to ask people out of curiosity about the specific location of the 'branch' they said, and the approximate location should be around here, but I can't find out where it is." If you're going, look around here as well, and I'll be in touch with you during this time – but I've heard that the 'branch' will provide accommodation if you can get in. What are you going to do?"

[Reconnaissance verification: 16<60, successful.] To your eyes, these wooden houses, large and small, are almost dilapidated and nothing out of the ordinary, but the defective mark on the door of the house in front of you on your left catches your eye. 】

Brunei looked at the house according to the system's instructions, it was a very small room, very inconspicuous, if it wasn't specifically mentioned by the system, when looking for a base for the organization that controlled the entire town, even Brunei would probably not pay attention to it. However, if you look closely, Brunei finds that the style of the house is five points similar to the adventurer's camp in the Endless Mountains that Brunei used to be familiar with, and the scratches on the door are more like intentional carvings on other buildings, unlike the damage on other buildings that have been eroded by the wind and sand.

Brunei shrugged his shoulders and squeezed his eyes at Jack: "Since you are providing accommodation, how about you live there with me?" I seem to have found the location of the 'branch' that you said. ”

Jack was taken aback: "Really, no, I'm not suspicious of you, it's just that you're here for the first time, right?"

Brunei smiled and raised his head slightly in smugness: "Yes, but that's not important." Are you going to come along? Didn't you say before that you were a little curious?"

Jack swallowed, "Yes—Mr. Castro." I'd love to see the legendary 'Adventurers' Guild with my own eyes!"

Brunei looked satisfied, nodded to Jack and Elvie, and walked to the room first.

The door was unlocked and opened with a slight push, and the windowless house looked more cramped than it looked from the outside, with only a pair of tables and chairs that looked rather broken, as if there was a lot of dust. The sunlight poured in through the door, illuminating several fairly intact cobwebs, which shook a few times because of the wind, and a small spider crawled out of nowhere, poked its head out of the web, and retracted.

Jack coughed twice in a very obvious way, he probably wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Brunei would feel embarrassed, so he swallowed back, but Elvi said a little curiously: "Is it here? It doesn't look like it." ”

[Reconnaissance verification: 58<60, successful.] You purposefully look around the house, avoiding the dusty parts and searching the walls. Although the lighting is not good, and the location of the mark is not easy to notice, it is not difficult to find after deliberately looking for it. Eventually, on the wall on the right, you'll find the mark you're familiar with, the one you'll see on the gate of the adventurer's camp in the Endless Mountains. 】

Brunei grinned, "Hehe, it's really not like it, is it? That's why Jack can't find it." Look at it. ”

Brunei walked in front of the familiar mark, and when he looked closer, he could clearly see that with the mark as the center, the color of a large part of the surrounding area was very different from the whole room, and there was no dust, but a little shiny. If you are a real person with a heart, it may not be difficult to find this entrance, but it does not mean that if you find the location of this mark, you can enter and exit the Adventurers' Association casually.

Brunei pressed his hand up. The rule is to enter the spiritual power into the six input ports of the marker, in order, in the upper right, lower left, upper right, upper left, and below. Brunei has a good memory, especially when it comes to studying, and he can even recall that at that time, when the bald head and he were both poisoned by the explosive snake, and the bald head was almost completely unconscious, he repeated it several times before teaching him the correct way to open it.

Then, a large piece of the wall slashed to the right, and with almost no sound, it revealed a small part of the house that had been unusually hidden, and Brunei, who was very close, saw that a large piece of the floor of that space seemed to slide to the side in the same way, and by the time the door outside was fully opened, the staircase inside was completely exposed.

"This-this-this-" Jack was stunned and stuttered for a long time, unable to utter even a complete sentence. Elvi also covered her mouth in surprise, as if suppressing her scream: "Magic is incredible!"

"Didn't you all see more exaggerated magic last night?" Brunei smiled at them kindly, beckoned them to follow, and then, stunned for a moment, thought to himself, "Wait a minute, is this magic?"

[Hehe, what do you think?, my little Bruneith, what do you think, what is magic?]

The system, like most of the time, pretends to answer questions mysteriously, which is completely useless. Brunei was also used to it, so he didn't expect his answer, but thought to himself: "...... There is no magic emblem, no chanting, and even the operation and frequency of mental power...... I didn't feel much when I just opened a wooden door, but ......"

The moment Brunei Si walked down the steps, a noisy sound rushed towards Bruneith like a hot wind on the stove, and the sound sounded so that Brunei's ears seemed to be temporarily ineffective, completely interrupting his thoughts, and making him wonder how he remembered how he had not heard anything before.

"Oh, it's a new face!" "That's too young, isn't it?" "See that scar......?"

The messy voices quickly entered Brunei's ears, men and women, thick and thin, old and young, the only thing they had in common was that their tones were equally rude and rude, but equally bold and passionate.

Gradually, the messy words converged into the same cheers.

"Let's toast to the new young ruthless character!" "Cheers!" "Cheers!"
