Chapter 48: A New Crisis (4)

Brunei didn't think too badly. 50,000 standard units is not worth mentioning to Scarli and Thrace, but it should still be a lot for mages who don't have such a background behind them. Even for a mage who is not very lucky, 50,000 standard units should be enough to satisfy his appetite.

The huge disparity in strength, coupled with the additional conditions of the enemy in the dark and in the open, is enough to extinguish Brunei's reckless thoughts.

What's more, the threat of Ford's butler when he left was especially in his ears, if Scarly was irreparably damaged because of his subjective misjudgment, Brunei would probably not even have room to defend and escape.

Therefore, although for a moment, Brunei thought that the price of 50,000 would be satisfied, but compared to the risk of kidnapping the members of the Miltrov family, it might not be so profitable, and he still couldn't continue to think along this line of thought. Because, he can't accept that kind of risk.

Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, Brunei believes that according to the requirements of the letter, honestly bringing 50,000 standard units to the designated place by himself, and then acting at the right time, is to maximize the safety of Scarly, and it is also a way to ensure his own safety. As for the dangers that may be encountered in such an action-

"System, just ask. The previous cheat code can still be used, right?"

"Hehe, of course.] Little Bruneith, I will always be by your side. 】

The cost of being hunted down for a long distance is far greater than facing the danger of life at one time. Brunei still thinks that he is wary of the system, but he has to admit that he has become more and more accustomed to the existence of the system, and because of his dependence, he has begun to constantly think about the problem from the perspective of having the system, weighing the pros and cons.

Before Brunei had even reached the South Gate, he saw Munch, Munch's older brother outside the city. The two of them are not related by blood, and they don't have surnames, but they just happen to have the same name, and their personalities are related, so they made friends, and the older doorman Munch became an elder brother, and the two of them worked together to do a little harmless small business that secretly let people in and out of the city.

Munch doesn't work every day, and there seems to be a wonderful system of rotation within them, and in the past month or so, Brunei hasn't fully figured out how it works. Fortunately, it seems to be a bit of luck today.

The guards were still lined up on the inside of the gate, and Brunei took a few steps forward, and Munch also noticed him - after all, they had seen each other often during this time, and they were quite familiar with each other, and Brunei was tall and thin with a mask The image and characteristics were also very recognizable, so he explained to the people around him from a distance and greeted him.

"Yo, isn't this Brunei, I haven't seen you for two days-" Munch greeted him as he greeted, and halfway through speaking, he got closer, and suddenly found that there was no smile on half of Brunei's face, and he noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and he became serious, "What's wrong today?

Brunei didn't walk to a meter or so in front of Munch, then he stood still and coughed: "It's nothing." I just want to get out of town and have fun - I'm still going to trouble my brother today. Of course, the younger brother will not forget the good of the elder brother. ”

Munch looked at Bruneisi's face, got closer, and the slight wrinkle between his eyebrows could also be seen clearly, after thinking for a while, Munch suddenly laughed again, and patted Brunei's shoulder: "Our brothers, let's talk about this." ”

As he spoke, Munch hooked Brunei's shoulder, walked towards the small gate very affectionately, and walked for a while before he spoke again: "Speaking of which, Brunei, you haven't celebrated the New Year in this Academy City, have you? This has never been the case before, but you must remember, brother, that you must not stay outside the city until after dark. My brother and I couldn't continue our business for two days, and my brother was going back to the city before dark. If it is delayed, brother, I am afraid that you will not be able to enter the city when the time comes. ”

Brunei was stunned for a moment, and then he pulled his thoughts away from the kidnapping of Scarly. The term martial law has never been heard of in Brunei in the past. As far as Brunei's impression goes, although it is necessary to report to the village chief when entering the city, there are few times when people are not allowed to leave, and it seems to be more of a procedural significance. However, this did not prevent Brunei from quickly understanding the meaning of the word in combination with the words before and after.

Munch undoubtedly had a good intention when he said this. After making this judgment, Brunei finally managed to squeeze out a few smiles: "Thank you, brother." If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I would have to be outside the city, this love, the little brother remembered. ”

Meng Ke laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "Be polite, brother, you always see you like this, brother, and I don't feel comfortable in my heart, right?"

Brunei was stunned again, there was nothing wrong with the content of Munch's words, but the tone was a little strange, looking at his expression, there was an intriguing smile. Brunei subconsciously became vigilant: "...... System. ”

[Psychological test: 3860, failed.] You've never seen him look so serious in contact with the Great Munch, and you're no doubt curious to know what you're going out of town for, but it's impossible to tell if the reason is really just a concern for your safety. 】

"......" Brunei's eyes narrowed slightly, but as the system said, Munch's somewhat vicissitudes of life were very flat, except for the wrinkles that penetrated deep into his face, he couldn't see anything else, sincerity or hypocrisy, there was no way to judge. He hesitated for a while before he smiled: "Okay, then I'll be honest with you, I'm out looking for someone." ”

Brunei blinked, smiled heartily, lowered her voice, leaned into Munch's ear and added, "Female." ”

Munch was stunned for a moment, looking at Brunei, who was still wearing an almost playful smile on his face despite being covered by a mask, and thought for a moment in surprise, then suddenly burst out laughing and changed the topic.

"Will the system, if it tells a limited amount of truth, increase its credibility?"

[For people who are not very good at lying, probably. At least you're more confident?Haven't you just experienced it?How do you feel?】

"Not very good. I feel guilty for cheating on others. Listen to what you mean, you're probably the type of liar?"

【...... Hehe, I'm your system? Dafan system is basically omnipotent. 】

[You transferred 20 MP to the opponent.] Current Status: MP=8/8, Extra MP=480/500. 】

After the guard Munch sent Bruneith out of the city gate, Bruneith did not plan to find Munch outside the city. Always gathered outside the city gates - according to Little Munch, that is, Munch outside the city, the people who tried to rob him of his business were now not gathered under the city walls, they were scattered, and they all kept a considerable distance from the city walls.

This may be the result of the "martial law" mentioned by the Great Munch earlier. In any case, at least it saves Brunei the trouble of navigating through the crowds. After walking twice before, Brunei easily found the location of the "gold coin", entered the door, and showed the badge that Fernando had given him before, asking for 50,000 standard units, loaded with an external magic emblem.

The woman standing behind the counter today was not the same person as the two times before, she had not seen Brunei, but when she saw the badge, she looked sincerely afraid, and after hearing Brunei's request, although she opened her mouth in surprise, she did not question Brunei's meaning, but said that her rank was not enough to deal with such a problem, and then went to her superiors.

The superior she had found was a man whom Brunei didn't know, but he seemed to have heard Fernando mention Brunei and behaved respectfully. Led Brunei to a room on the second floor and sat down, checked and poured water, and tossed a lot before he began to speak.

As soon as he came up, he bent down and apologized, "I missed the distance", "Lord Thrace is not here, so I can't greet you" and other polite words for a long time, after that, he said that although 50,000 standard units is not a small number, he knows that this is the arrears due, and since Brunei wants it, they will pay it.

After that, he called another person and asked him to prepare ten external magic emblems that could hold 5,000 standard units according to Brunei's request. Then he laughed and gossiped with Brunei in the room.

According to Brunei's impression, such a large external magic emblem was worth a lot of money, but when he mentioned it to the man, he received the answer, "You and Lord Thrace are good friends, don't take this little money to heart." Brunei has nothing to say about such an answer. It's just that I secretly sighed in my heart that the wealth of the "gold coins" is abundant.

After about forty minutes, the man who had been called before came back with a beautiful tray of iron on itβ€”no longer able to describe it as iron, with strange shapes and materials that Brunei had never seen before. After systematic identification, the capacity of 5000 standard units is basically accurate, and the error between each does not exceed 5 standard units.

When it was served, they cherished it, but they handed it over to Brunei very casually, and they didn't even say a word of careful keeping, it seemed that they could also understand Brunei's urgent mood, so they watched this Brunei Si leave the "gold coin".

Before leaving the door, Brunei glanced at the "gold coin" clock, which was much larger, though not as elaborate as Sculli's. The long and short needles coincided together, pointing straight upwards with a dull and magnificent sound.

"Knock-knock-knock......" Repeatedly, a full twelve sounds.
