Chapter 221: The Feast of the Swamp

"That area is a commercial area, the price of any house is very high, ordinary people can't afford it! There is a residential area, and a little farther away is the military camp in the city, your subordinates can go to the vicinity of the commercial area to find a hotel, we will not provide food and lodging for your subordinates!" Newt did not show up on horseback, and Fei De also asked the knights of Fontale City who were guarding him to take their horses and wait for news of him at the hotel," But for Captain Field, who is appreciated by our Duke of Yannes, we have prepared a first-class room for you, and even a dress to meet the Duke, a very noble evening dress... Tsk tsk, this armor is really worn and old, and the black appearance is not good-looking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Newt chattered about Fielder as he served as a guide, and even the potato medal on Field's chest was talked about for a long time. Fett had long seen that Newt was an arrogant and narcissistic guy, but he didn't expect him to become even more serious after returning to Black Swamp City, and even showed no secret of his contempt.
"How long will the banquet last?"
Newt raised two fingers, "It's two days, our Duke Yannis is a very filial man, he thinks that his birthday is his mother's Good Friday, so he starts the feast today." Fifteen years ago today, the Duchess was in agony and waiting to give birth to the Duke of Yanis. ”
In this way, this Duke named Yannis is also a person who knows how to be grateful, after all, few people now blame themselves for the pain and bitterness caused by their mother's childbirth.
The crowded streets and the expressions on the faces of the citizens seemed to tell Fed that they were not afraid of the rebel troops not far away, and Newt also noticed Fed's eyes, and he immediately said to Fed, "You mercenaries must have paid attention to the war outside, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"We are different, we still have many things to care about and deal with, the rabble of the rebels are just flies," Newt did not put on the clothes of the Dumu City, he was wearing a civilian costume, "The ministers and nobles who thought that they should deal with the rebels by soft means have been jumped in anger by the riots of the rebels, and they have to join forces with the nobles who advocate the extermination of the rebels. ”
"However, the city and the area around the city were captured by the rebels. ”
Newt replied impatiently: "So what? You don't know that those ill-intentioned countries are eyeing each other, are you? If it's just the rebels, we in the Duchy of Mageni can pinch them to death with one finger, but the East Oguna Empire and the Kosai Kingdom are not rebels, and our top priority is to make these two belligerents intensify the conflict again... Oh, I'm leaking again, if only Zebuba were here, he'd definitely remind me not to tell me everything about this mercenary!"
"Zebuba must be the spy teacher who appeared with you. ”
Newt laughed "hehe", "That's right, he's a teacher of information science, and pretending to be calm and silent is his forte, as for me... I won't tell you, so as not to frighten you!"
Fyld followed Newt to the moat of the inner city. This moat is an artificially excavated river, and is about the size of a moat in a normal city. The walls of the inner city are also very thick, and every sentry post is accompanied by guards armed with heavy crossbows, and it is clear that the builders here have considered the possibility of the outer city being lost, but how long can the capital hold out without the protection of the swamps?
"Do you want to see Zebuba? That guy has been working since he came back, probably because he is tired of gathering intelligence in other cities, and he pretends to be an expert in intelligence..."Just after Newt brought Fidel into the inner city, Zebuba, the calm man who had never shown his face in front of Fidel, also appeared in front of Fid - Fide had never seen the other party's true face, but from Newt's eyes when he looked at the other party, it could be seen that this spy teacher named Zebuba had something that Newt could not match.
"Hello Captain Fed, we're meeting again," Zebuba was also wearing the same dress as Newt, but Zebuba, who was relatively tall and tougher-looking, was more suitable for that dress than Newt, as if the style of this dress was made for him, "This time, Your Excellency the Captain was invited here by our Duke, and Newt and I have been in contact with His Excellency the Captain, so the Dean of the House specially sent us to greet His Excellency." ”
"Headmaster..."
"The head of the Military Academy of the Peaceful Grave of the Principality of Mageni and the old duchess of the Duchy of Mageni. ”
"I heard that the old duke had entrusted all the affairs of the duchy to the young Duke of Yannis. ”
Zebuba bared his white teeth, and he said as he led Fidel forward: "The old duke's name is also Yannis, we generally call him the old Duke Yannis, and the young Duke Yannis is the little Yannis, but the new duke doesn't want others to call him 'Little Yannis', I hope that the head of the field can pay attention to this." As they spoke, they walked to the inner wall, and the first thing Feder saw as he stood on the wall surprised him - the eastern part of the city, which had been hidden by the inner city walls and the castle, was a completely different area, with countless strangely shaped buildings and various topography.
"Over there is the Military Academy of the Peaceful Grave of the Principality of Mageni. Zebuba stretched out a hand and made a "please" gesture, as if introducing the luxurious ornaments of his home. Newt, who was standing on the other side of Fed, also crossed his hands in front of his chest, showing a proud expression.
The Military Academy occupies almost one-sixth of the entire Black Swamp City, and from the inner walls, there are both civilians and soldiers, as well as a variety of shops. The oddly shaped buildings are unique, some resemble a conch, some resemble an upside-down fork, and some are built into a ball. Fide didn't know what those buildings were, or what the architects who built them thought.
"Don't look at those buildings as odd, they're all the work of our students," Newt pointed to one of the banana-like buildings, "Our Peace Grave Military Academy is a very comprehensive academy that not only provides excellent officers for the army, but also sends talents to various industries." ”
Fidel remembered that the Duchy of Mageni was not very rich, and that the capital, the Black Marsh, and other cities such as the Dugley City and the Square Tower City did not appear in any special places.
"I've never been anywhere else..."
Zebuba sighed softly, as if he understood Fidel's doubts, but he didn't explain anything. On the contrary, Newt couldn't control his mouth, and he ignored Zebuba's persuasion, and said loudly: "Yes, as you can see, these special buildings or all kinds of talents do not appear everywhere in our principality, and the reason is very simple, because our old Duke Yannis is a very stingy man, very stingy..."
In the end, Newt couldn't tell the truth, because Zebuba told the big-mouthed teacher to shut up, and the two showed off where they were working before taking Fide to the prepared room. Fed's temporary residence was on the eastern corner of the inner city, outside the city walls was the area of the Peace Grave Military Academy, and another mercenary captain who had been invited to the room knocked on the door after Fed's entered.
"Hello," a woman with long straight black hair and two light-colored chic headbands on her head stood outside the door, "Hello, I'm the leader of the Rain Mercenary Regiment Rainy Day, you must be Captain Field, right?"
Fei De looked at the other party's outfit and appearance, if it weren't for the other party's self-proclaimed mercenary, he would never guess that the other party was a mercenary like himself. This woman in a plain dress without any pink makeup on her face has a strange beauty, perhaps because the dark circles and gloomy look on the other party's face make Fei De feel strange, but the other party's facial features are impeccable and delicate - just need to dress up a little, it is definitely no less beautiful than Meifu, but it is also a sick beauty.
"Rain Mercenary Regiment..."Fei De did not forget to try to remember as he looked at the other party. This mercenary group named "Rain" is very special, and Fei De has heard of such a mercenary group. But at that time, Fei De didn't care, and thought it was a record error, but he didn't expect that not only the name of this mercenary group was special, but even their leader had a special name.
"That's right, it's not the Rainy Mercenary Group, it's the Rainy Mercenary Group," the female mercenary named Rainy Day said in a single tone, and her voice was neither loud nor small, "My name is Rainy Day, please don't be surprised." ”
It's too hard not to think about it, isn't it?" Fide thought to himself. If it is understandable for a person to use things as their nickname, it seems strange to use them as names. Moreover, the head of the "rainy day" standing in front of him repeatedly emphasized that his name is Yutian, and there is no other reading or other meaning, which is the meaning of "rainy day".
"Hello, I'm the leader of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, Field. ”
Yutian's eyes were dead, his gaze was dull, and even his eyelids seemed to be pressed by something, "Well, you shouldn't be an assassin who was sent, because the smell of resentment on your body doesn't point to anyone here." ”
The sudden words of the rainy day made Fei De feel inexplicable. Assassin?Resentment?Is this testing himself?Fidel immediately recalls that Vittorio had made him have to protect the little Duke Yanis, could it be that the Duke of Yannis would really run into an Assassin?
"Rainy days... Rainy day captain, I don't really understand..."
"You're the type who likes to pretend to be hypocritical, aren't you?" Yutian waved his hand as if he was leaving, "I said you weren't the assassin who assassinated Duke Yannis, or literally. Don't worry, you're not going to be my target, because I'm here to protect Duke Yannis. ”
