At noon that day, the expedition reached the city of Sinsa.

It is a small, remote town located in the eastern part of Saint-Fassen. Further east, there are mountains and the official road to the Minsen Strait extends southward.

"There are too many of us, and the City Lord's Mansion still needs you to go over and say hello. ”

After registering into the city, Bonnie said to the unwinded road.

"Okay, let's find a place to stay. ”

The town is not far from Norvi City, and the mercenaries don't need supplies, so most mercenary groups won't stay here for long, and inns aren't hard to find.

Bonnie chooses two inns next to each other on a street not far from the Lord's Mansion.

After the group settled down, Elsa proposed to take a walk around the city, naturally to let Minoan and them relax.

Weifeng couldn't go with them because he was going to the City Lord's Mansion, but the Qingning sisters and brothers offered to go shopping together.

Sinsa is about a third the size of Norvi, with far fewer inhabitants, and its spacious streets are deserted.

However, the architectural style here is very distinctive, with light yellow cylindrical high-rise buildings topped by brown dome caps.

"I heard that there is a fruit called black bamboo berry here, and the locals use it to make wine, and it tastes very good. It was too hasty last time we came, and this time we can try it. ”

Ella's mood was still a little low, but she was almost recovered.

"Sounds good, let's go try it, Sister Elsa. ”

When Mino heard that he could go drinking, he was immediately interested.

The group, while asking for directions, shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, and finally came to a very deep alley.

However, the twenty-meter-long alleyway was filled with a faint aroma of wine, with a hint of floral fragrance.

"Wow, it smells so good. ”

Mino took a deep breath and looked intoxicated.

"Is this a black bamboo berry?"

Mino pointed to the black branches peeking out of the courtyards that lined the street.

"Just go in and ask. ”

Ella chose a house with a relatively wide entrance and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a kind-looking uncle. After explaining his intentions, the uncle enthusiastically invited the group in.

"It's not easy for you to find this place, we usually just supply to the liquor shops and restaurants. ”

The uncle took Elsa and Mino to a wine cellar made of pure wood.

"Since you're here, I'll give you a taste of the ink bamboo green I've collected for many years. This wine, which you can't drink outside, has a sweet taste and is very suitable for girls. ”

The uncle ostentatiously pulled out a black bamboo tube from a bamboo frame, which was blue-gray in color compared to the black bamboo in the courtyard.

"Ordinary black bamboo bears fruit once a year, but this ink bamboo bears fruit every five years, come, you can taste it. ”

The uncle was very happy to pour a small glass of wine for each of Mino. Qingshi and Qingning looked relatively young, so the uncle didn't give them a deal.

This ink bamboo is shining black in a small wooden cup with a light yellow color, but it is very clear. The nose has a very unique hint of sweetness.

Everyone cautiously took a sip.

"Good ......"

Everyone was satisfied.

"Sister, sister, I want to drink ...... too"

Qingshi pulled the corner of his sister's clothes and whispered.

"This ......" Qing Ning looked embarrassed, but she also wanted to taste this unique drink.

"Is that okay?"

The uncle looked at Elsa with a smile and asked.

"Give them a little. Elsa thought the wine was very light and agreed.

"Thank you!"

Qingning drank Qingshi very happily and took a small glass of wine, and took a sip as they learned from Mino.

"Well, this is really good, I should bring some back to the big ...... Well, give Abel them a taste. ”

"Hehe, it's okay to take it back, but children can't drink too much, although this wine is light, if you drink too much, you will get drunk. The uncle smiled and said to Qingshi.

At this moment, Elsa's eyes were cold, and she gently put down the wine glass in her hand.

"Mino, stay here and don't move, I'll go out for a while. ”

"Uh-huh......"

Mino, who was getting drunk, blushed slightly, not caring at all about Elsa's departure.

Elsa shook her head helplessly, turned and walked out of the courtyard.

The matter on the City Lord's Mansion side was handled very smoothly, and after Weifeng revealed his identity, the City Lord of Sinsa City received him very respectfully. Of course, the most important thing is that the vicinity of the Lord of Windy City has contacted the intelligence system of the Royal Family of St. Fasen.

Elsa and Mino, who hadn't returned yet, went straight to Bonnie.

"Look at your expression, everything is clear?"

"Hmm. ”

Weifeng's expression is quite relaxed.

"The people who attacked us were bandits. ”

"I don't know of any bandit of St. Fassen's who dares to provoke the Red Lion. ”

"Not one, almost all of the bandits' bands in the eastern part of St. Fassen's have been dispatched. Weifeng explained.

"Hehe, the Rogue Bandit is still a scattered organization compared to mercenaries, I don't know who has the ability to gather these guys together. Besides, we don't have anything here that will appeal to them, do we?"

Bonnie shook the glass in her hand in confusion.

"There's something strange about it. Shortly after we left Norvi City, there was news of a walk. Say that my mission is not an expedition mission, but an escort mission. ”

"Escort mission?"

"That's right, the materials for forging the spirit sword that escorted a batch to Minglan are worth three billion gold coins. ”

Hearing this, Bonnie finally understood the reason for the incident. Three billion gold coins are indeed enough to attract those rogue groups to take a risk.

"Hehe, that's a big deal. So who has the power to fool so many people? We Red Lion have never messed with such a powerful guy. ”

"This ...... We don't have any definite news yet. Weifeng said with some embarrassment.

"But the most important thing right now is how to deal with the hyenas. ”

"Seeing His Royal Highness the prince so relaxed, I'm afraid there are already countermeasures, let's talk about it. ”

"Uh...... All right. ”

Weifeng gathered his thoughts and began to explain his thoughts to Bonnie.

"Their leader this time is a man named Scarwolf, a Saint-Rank Swordsman, the First Cloud Realm. Have you heard of this man?"

"I've heard that it lasted less than ten minutes with me. ”

"That's good, this person should be easy to solve. This time, they gathered a total of more than 30 bandit groups, with a total number of about 1,200 people. I can't think of a surprise that they'll find a way to lure you away. ”

"It's really stupid, this kind of strength dares to provoke the Red Lion?"

"It's better not to underestimate the enemy, after all, the other party has a large number of people, and if we attack at all costs, we will also be in trouble. ”

"Hehe, Your Royal Highness, you are not honest enough. These 1,200 men are not well-trained Imperial troops, a rabble that has barely gathered together, and the two of us alone are enough to crush them. ”

"Well, it's because I don't want to do anything about it this time. Weifeng said frankly.
