CHAPTER XXI

Fett thought for a moment, took the letter out of the envelope again, and then read it carefully and repeatedly, which did not reveal much information, and he glanced at Vittorio, the sixteen-year-old young businessman, who had the same expressionless face as himself—although expressionless, it certainly did not look like wood, after all, the other party's face was not as long as his own.

"The aristocracy doesn't have to be all oppressive to the commoners," Feder remembered his uncle Evan, who was an example, "and it seems that you have a lot to do with the rebels." ”
"This doesn't matter, what matters is that you are going to meet the other party, Captain?" Vittorio seemed to see through Fidel's tentative words, and instead took the initiative to return the topic to the letter.
Ever since Vittorio joined the Potato Mercenary Corps, Fidel has felt some indescribable discomfort. Maybe it's because of the other party's young and old performance, or maybe it's because the other party seems to have a lot of secrets. Whatever the reason, if the boy named Vittorio can't show enough ability and intelligence within three months, or if he shows a different heart, then Fidel will not spare any mercy - he has given the other party the position of deputy leader, so if necessary, he needs to take it back decisively.
"I'll think about it, but tomorrow I'll go to the castle in Dulog City. ”
"It doesn't affect how things happen, it's like eating beef or lamb first, it's not a question at all. Vittorio bowed slightly and left Fed's room.
Feder looked at the letter on the table, and suddenly found himself in a dilemma. If it weren't for Vittorio's appearance, maybe Herman, the Horse Boxer and others would not have come to the door one after another, and he has now brought the mercenary group into the Black Swamp, the capital of the Duchy of Magini. It's all because of his eagerness to seek talent, so he threw himself into a predicament, but now everything is still in the very beginning.
Fed picked up the envelope, then walked over to the stove and looked at the burning fire.
"It's a hundred times to throw it away, and any rebels are just unnecessary trouble. Fide said to himself.
But the outstretched hand did not let go, and the letter written to him by the boxer was not thrown into the fire. Fidel reached back and slowly walked to the window. Most of the civilians outside have returned home from their jobs, and some are walking in the direction of home, they seem happy and satisfied, at least in the Dumu City, there are still many civilians who have not been oppressed, are these so-called rebels righteous? Or do they just want to take advantage of the chaos to gain their own interests?
Fett walked over to the fire again, and this time he threw the envelope directly into it - whether it was the rebels or the rebels, I had promised to go to the appointment tomorrow anyway, and then I would decide what to do next.
The next evening, after dealing with the affairs of the mercenary group, Fett, accompanied by Ayana, headed for the castle of the Dulog City. While on the way, Fylde asks AYANA about Vittorio, and he wants to know what kind of person the teenager they have been living with for half a month is in Ayana's eyes.
"Not credible," Ayana said blandly, "he's observant and he's good at controlling people's hearts. ”
"What is the reason for not being credible?"
"Because his words and deeds reveal his hidden purpose, and it is not as simple as wanting to be the deputy head of a mercenary group," Ayana is like Fidel's squire, always keeping an eye on the situation on the street, "but he can't be unaware of such an obvious move, so he pretended to be it." "It's rare for Ayana to say so much to analyze a person, perhaps because she often gets confused after seeing Fide come to Dumule.
"Then you said that he was good at controlling people's hearts..."
"I said he wanted to come to you through me ten times. ”
Feder recalls that day, "You did say that. ”
"He watched us the day we entered the city, and he found a breakthrough. When the word was finally spoken, Ayana's voice became very small, and Fei knew that it was Ayana who brought the other party in, but it stands to reason that letting Ayana bring a stranger into the potato mercenary group should be the most difficult thing, is there really anything special about this Vittorio?
When they entered the castle of Dumu City, several groups of guards in the castle took turns to check whether Fide and Ayana had hidden weapons on their bodies, and the tight security here was a bit out of place with the peaceful scene in the city.
Herman was standing in front of the banquet hall, and when he saw Field, he immediately walked up to greet him, "Great, Captain Field, my uncle is already inside to prepare the dinner!"
When Fid and Ayana walked into the banquet hall, a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow aristocratic costume with a white cloak draped over his shoulders was standing on a high platform, flanked by a woman of his age and a young beauty.
"Captain Feide, what a blessing!" the middle-aged man walked down the platform quickly, stretched out two hands and grabbed Feide's right hand.
Herman walked up to Fed's side and said, "This is the Lord of Dumu City, my uncle, Count Endrida! This is my mother, the sister of Count Endrida! And this is—" He was about to introduce the young and beautiful girl when the beautiful young woman stepped forward and interrupted Herman's introduction.
"I am Maevie, daughter of Count Endrida, and cousin of Herman!" the young beauty had a face that could seduce men, with a pointed chin, a high, straight nose, and eyes that seemed to smile. She was dressed in a lace-patterned aqua suit, staring straight into Fed's eyes. Even Field, who had always been bland, felt a little embarrassed and avoided the other party's gaze slightly.
Neither Herman nor Endrida seemed to expect Mave to be so enthusiastic, and they immediately seated Fidel, this time with only Fidel alone, and Ayana stood behind Fidel's seat as Fidel's retinue.
"Captain Field, your reputation has already spread all over the continent," Endrida was a decent middle-aged man, and he didn't forget to take off his white cloak before sitting down, "Please drink this glass of wine, this is the entire Dumule City's greeting to Captain Field." He drank in respect, and Herman drank with him, except for the one who was holding her chin in her hands and her face with her arms on her face, staring at Fidel.
"That's right, my uncle has always said that the potato mercenary group is a rare mercenary group on the mainland, and the speed of Captain Field's rise is actually impressive, and Captain Fielder is also deeply favored by the Papal States and the Theoguna Empire, and even the commander-in-chief of the East Oguna Empire in the Battle of Doret Saresa personally said that he wanted to capture Captain Fede, which can be seen..."
"Lord Earl has won the award, I am just a mercenary, Lord Count specially invited me to a banquet, there must be something very important to discuss with me, right?" Fei De ignored the other party's polite words, he had seen a lot of people like this, and everyone seemed to be bottomless, and this situation began to make Fei De feel bored.
"Of course, of course..."Endrida immediately responded, "I invited Captain Fielder this time to entrust an important mercenary mission to the Captain of the Regiment, I don't know if the capable Captain Fielder is willing..."
Maevie suddenly interrupted Endrida's words, "Hasn't anyone praised Captain Fede for being handsome?
The headless speech of the count's daughter embarrassed everyone present, and Endrida immediately drank the wine in front of her, as if she had nothing to do with her wayward daughter. And Herman came out to play the round, "Of course, Captain Feide's strength is extraordinary, and his appearance is also excellent, but the serious matter we are discussing must be taken seriously, after all, this is a matter related to Dumu City, and even the entire Principality of Magini. Herman shifted the conversation back to the point, and Feder nodded. Neither a drinker nor a fan of the food and beauties in front of him, Fielder was just a matter of getting down to business.
"The last time I was in a jousting in the suburbs, I had already discussed that with Captain Fidel... I don't know the head of the group..."
Fei De had already figured out how to answer: "I hope to be able to know the ins and outs of the whole incident, and since it is a mercenary mission, the relevant conditions must also be explained." ”
"Of course, of course, we will definitely not treat your group in terms of remuneration, and we are willing to pay three times the price of other places!"
Fidel was surprised, "Could it be that there are other people who are planning to deal with those civilian rebels?"
"Of course, I'm willing to pay four times the price," Maev said with a sudden grin, "and there are other special rewards for Captain Fidel!"
