Meryl immediately stood up as soon as she heard the magnetic voice, "Master, I'll retire first." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No, you're just waiting here. From the cell to their left came another voice, the man's voice deep and deep, and Phyll's tone could tell from his tone that the man Meryl called "master" was accustomed to directing others, and his status was either rich or noble.

Meryl then sat down in her chair, her eyes open, not looking at Phyll, or in the direction of the cell next door.

"Are you the president of the Mercenary Guild?"

"As you expected, I'm the president of the Mercenary Guild," Fei De deduced from the other party's voice, the other party's age should be around fifty years old, "As I said, I hope that the head of the Fei De group can join the mercenary union and become one of the nine mercenary groups." ”

"What is the reason?"

"The Mercenary Guild has an unwritten rule that whoever exterminates a mercenary group of the Mercenary Guild will take over the vacancy. This unwritten rule is the unanimous consensus of all the leaders of the mercenary union, and most of the eight mercenary groups have joined my union in this way. However, due to some irreconcilable contradictions between the Moon Shield Mercenary Group and the Mercenary Guild, the Moon Shield Mercenary Group did not receive an invitation to join after eliminating the MONOCULUS Mercenary Group. ”

Both Feder and Vittorio listened carefully, and at first Feder suspected that the irreconcilable contradiction was related to the Pillar Priest and Russell, but later felt that this was not the reason, because at that time, the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment had been taken over by Andre, and Russell had long since disappeared.

"Then why choose us?"

"The reason is also very simple, because you have defeated one of the candidates, the Oak Mercenary Regiment, and their leader Vaughn has lost the qualification to join us, and considering that Captain Field, you are the one who killed James with your own hands, so I intend to send you an invitation in person. ”

Fed never thought of joining the Mercenary Guild, and since the time he left his hometown, he saw the Mercenary Guild as a potential enemy. This so-called trade union organization is an accomplice to the conflict on the mainland, and has contrary intentions to its original intentions, "I have fought with the MONOCULUS Mercenary Group, the King's Knight Mercenary Group, and the Widow Mercenary Group, these mercenary groups are all members of the mercenary union, and it stands to reason that they should be hostile to our potato mercenary group." ”

"That's a matter between mercenary groups, and for me, it's not something I need to think about," the guild leader paused, and Meryl sneaked a glance in the direction of the union president's cell, "The point is that there is no more suitable mercenary group to take over the area previously controlled by the MONOCULUS mercenary group, and if this vacancy continues, more trouble will arise." ”

"The sphere of influence of the MONOCULUS Mercenary Group is the Winter Kingdom. ”

"Not exactly, its original sphere of influence was west of the Winter Kingdom, part of the Duchy of Mageni and the Duchy of Noo. ”

After listening quietly to the words of the president of the completion council, Fei De made a decision, "I have no plans to join the mercenary guild for the time being. ”

The president of the union immediately replied, "I will give a month for the head of the regiment to consider whether or not to join us." As soon as the union president had said this, Meryl stood up. The duke's mistress regained her expression before the union president appeared, and it seemed that her master had left.

Meryl smiled and said, "I should have guessed that you would decline your master's invitation, but for you, you missed a good opportunity that countless people envy just now!"

If you join the mercenary union, the potato mercenary group will have a very big backer, and its reputation and strength will naturally increase, so it seems that there is indeed a very attractive opportunity in front of Fei De just now. Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to get close to the Pillar Priest, the mysterious Pillar Priest looks very fragile, if Toya hadn't protected him tonight, maybe he would have completed the task assigned by Russell.

"I still have a month to think about it. Feder replied lightly.

"It seems so, and you should get out of here as soon as possible, the Duke of Aldington is suspicious by nature, and the cargo ship bombing and the tragedy that happened tonight may really be associated with him, and it will be difficult for you to get out of it by then... Besides, the person who invited you is dead, and you have no reason to stay here. ”

The faces of Luthers and Van Dek instantly appeared in Fett's mind, and their corpses were the same, "The palace is heavily guarded inside and outside, and no one can leave. ”

Meryl clapped her hands vigorously, and the officer who had escorted Feder in poked his head out of the upper floors of the cell, "Miss Meryl, what do you command?"

"Send Captain Fide and his men out of the palace, I've finished interrogating them, and they have nothing to do with the conspiracy of the rebels. Meryl took a large piece of gold from her sleeve and threw it in front of the officer. The officer understood and took Fide and Vittorio out of their cells without saying a word.

When both Fid and Vittorio had left the cell, Meryl suddenly lowered her head with a solemn expression.

"Master, why did you turn back?"

"You're curious to know why I invited Fide and his mercenary group to join, right?"

"I can't guess. ”

"Because that person loves chaos the most... Or maybe that person was the source of the chaos, and he might have been a little surprised to learn that Faulkner's son had joined the Mercenary Guild. ”

"But..."

"But what. ”

Meryl looked at the floor, not daring to look up, "But has the guy we've been guarding against already made contact with Faulkner?"

"Your sister just brought the news that Faulkner chose to stand with that person, I'm afraid Faulkner wants to take advantage of that person," the union president said here, and sighed softly, "Faulkner and I are old friends, and since his son has chosen the opposite path to him, I should also take care of him." ”

At this time, there were many officers in command of the guards in the palace, and the Duchy guards who had regained their composure kept rushing in the direction of the banquet hall, they were either carrying a bucket of sand or a bucket of water, and it was estimated that no member of the rebels would be able to escape, and now they only needed to extinguish the fire.

"Commander, let's not talk about the suspicious conspiracy of the rebels, the sudden appearance of the female officer Meryl and the president of the mercenary union just now is also very suspicious..."

"Well, there are indeed a lot of mysteries, let's meet with the other captains first and then discuss countermeasures," Fei De was always distracted intentionally or unintentionally when he talked to the union president just now, and he didn't know what the reason was, "When the sun rises tomorrow, what happened in Evon City will definitely spread throughout the continent, and in order to avoid becoming a real suspect, we will leave here tonight." ”

Vittorio nodded in agreement, and the officer immediately led the two to the direction of the palace exit, and Fidel also asked Vittorio to give the officer some money in private, so that the other party could tell Dokley, the leader of the mermaid mercenary group, about the safe release of the two, so that Maev could rest assured.

The two of them left the palace to find that there was still a carnival going on all over the city. The tourists and citizens of the city were completely unaware of what had just happened in the banquet hall, and all kinds of food and wine were placed on the long tables in front of the houses, and there were many drunk civilians, most of whom were lying in the streets at random. Vittorio casually questioned a few civilians who were not drunk, and they all said that they had not noticed any noise in the palace, and they probably couldn't even smell the smell of burning.

Several of the captains had made an agreement with Fielder that they would return to the Sweet Cookie Chamber of Commerce by the early hours of the morning, even if they were drunk. Sure enough, as promised, although Noor was drunk and unconscious, his body still "returned" to the Chamber of Commerce - he was lying in front of the door of the Sweet Cookie Chamber of Commerce, with a bottle of wine in his arms.

"Captain Fidel, you're back so soon?!" Winotki stood in the courtyard of the Sweet Cookie Chamber of Commerce, looking at Noor from the courtyard, "That's... Noorta stinks from alcohol, and I'm afraid he'll get the room dirty, so Lukka and I work together to carry him to the front of the Chamber of Commerce and wait for him... Hey, Captain, you don't seem to be very happy..."

Fett noticed that Winoki's cheeks were red, her eyes were misty, and she was a little slurred when she spoke, and she probably drank a lot of alcohol. Lukka rushed to hear the news, although Lukka did not blush, but from the smell of wine and the shaky pace coming from his mouth, it could be judged that none of these captains drank less.

"Pack your bags now, we're leaving Evon City tonight. ”

"So urgent... Isn't it because the dinner food is not delicious? But Captain Patrick hasn't returned. Luca's eyes were swollen, and if it weren't for Vittorio holding him, maybe this usually capable and steady squad leader would have fallen to the ground immediately.

Fed turned to Vittorio, "You and the rest of your men who haven't been drinking will go into Evon City again and see if you can meet Patrick." ”

As soon as Feyde finished speaking, Patrick walked briskly into the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Captain Fed, you're fine!" "Winotki and Luca saw Patrick's solemn expression, and their drunkenness immediately sobered up a little, "Things in the palace almost made it impossible for me to get out, but fortunately, I took advantage of the chaos and rushed out with the other fighters, if I go back to Evon City now, I may be arrested as an accomplice of the rebels!"

Lukka and Winotki looked at each other, and Feder immediately and simply told them about the upheaval of the dinner, and the two of them finally came to their senses from their drunkenness. Winotki also pinched Luca's face, and after Luca screamed in pain, Winotki and Lukka confirmed that it wasn't a dream.

Patrick glanced back at the door of the Chamber of Commerce, "Captain, I made a decision on my own initiative," he glanced at the door of the Chamber of Commerce again, "I brought someone back." ”

Fyde and the rest of the captains looked at the door, where a man dressed in a gladiator's costume was standing, and when he took off the mask, both Fed and Vittorio froze - Leon, the former leader of the Rebels, was the one Patrick had brought back without permission!
