Klein casually rubbed his nose and stared intently at Rose, who was reading the papers, and they walked down about half a tower height to find the floor where the permission was. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Ma Feio stood aside with his blood-dripping sword, and in the darkness he always cheapened those sneak attack guys, quietly approaching the target, and piercing the other party's chest from behind was so easy. And Margarita is a formidable woman, and the cursed aura of darkness can consume all flesh and blood in an instant.

Rose laughed, waving the parchment in his hand. "That's it. ”

"Let's get out of here. Klein said in a strange voice.

Maffeo put away his greatsword and looked at the parchment in Rose's hand with a puzzled look. He wanted to see what was written on it, but in the darkness he couldn't see anything. Margarita looked boredly at Rose, who looked slightly excited, she had no interest in any of this, she just got what she wanted by working with Rose.

At the wall, a tall, pale-faced guard suddenly raised his head, the only one left of the guard guarding the tower. Maffeo looked over and motioned with his eyes to keep him silent. Ross and Klein didn't realize that the other party was still alive, they had permission to leave, and now they just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible. Although Margarita was also aware of the other party's faint flame of life, she had no intention of exposing it or killing it completely.

Rose and Klein stepped up the spiral staircase to the top of the tower, with Maffeo at the rear, dropping a bottle of alchemy potion to the guy without them noticing. The other's eyes were full of doubt, but Maffeo just shook his head regretfully, and then walked away quickly.

"I can't believe they're going to put the license here. Klein danced with his hands, and Maffeo wished he had fallen down the stairs and bruised and swollen.

"Shut up, Klein, all we need is results. Rose stopped him, and he seemed reluctant to say anything about the permit.

It was easier to leave the tower than when you came in, and it didn't take much time. Bowen managed to distract the archers, standing on the roof and telling them jokes, which drew bursts of laughter. The patrolling guards were obviously drawn to Bowen's jokes, and they did, and the funny things that came up in the middle of the boring patrol quickly drew their attention, even if it violated the patrol rules.

Nothing had changed, and Rose told Maffeo to come to the lumberyard the next day to find him. Maffeo didn't want to ask about something, he knew that he had to investigate his own to get a reasonable explanation, because the other party wouldn't tell him what he really thought. Margarita disappeared from the trio as she left the tower, but Rose didn't care, he had already gotten what he wanted, and who cared about those collaborators who weren't in the same boat as him?

On the way back to the hotel, as usual, there were always a few horse-drawn carriages passing by when it was dark. The first thing that noticed Maffeo was the driver of the carriage, and he pulled the reins so hard that the horse in front of him neighed. He gestured to Maffeo to let him pass first, and Maffeo nodded in gratitude. Back at the hotel, Maffeo sorted out his thoughts. At least judging by the actions in the tower, Klein and Ross are in the same group. Bowen, on the other hand, was indeed the one who worked in the lumberyards, and it was a matter of Maffeo who couldn't figure out why he had become so obedient to the strange Rose.

Maffeo took out the results of the investigation that he had found in some shops in the outer city during the day, which he had written on parchment with a pen. He read over and over what he had memorized, recalling over and over again what Hartman and Ross had said. Two-thirds of the shops he surveyed had not received any orders related to Hartman's lumberyard, suggesting that they had not ordered wood from the eastern lumberyard. The situation of the remaining two shops was different, one had ordered wood from the lumberyard, but in the end the lumberyard canceled the order for unknown reasons. The last shop had a record of selling timber from the eastern lumberyard, and the owner told Maffeo that he had been dealing with the lumberyard before, but that the lumberyard had cut off all business with the shop since six months ago. This also troubled the shopkeeper for a long time, because the quality of the wood from the other remaining lumberyard in Oscent was not at all comparable to that of the eastern lumberyard. Coincidentally, the store was dropped from the same time as the last time it was discovered that the lumberyard had stopped trading with itself.

Either way, now Maffeo has finally confirmed the fact that Hartman and Rose are indeed lying. They did in fact supply timber to local shops, rather than just selling it elsewhere, as they said before.

Despite finding some useful information, Maffeo was unable to fully understand Rose's motives. While many in the city are wary of the Thieves' Guild, they haven't actually made an appearance. This makes it hard for Maffeo not to wonder if they really exist, or maybe they're just hiding in the shadows and waiting for their moment. But there was no reason to threaten a seemingly useless lumberyard, which was another point that puzzled Maffeo.

The next day, Maffeo tried to get some information from Bowen, but Bowen didn't tell Maffeo anything useful. The fact that he had only started working for Hartman two months earlier was not the same as when the lumberyard had begun to behave strangely six months ago. Bowen is more grateful to Hartman, who was just a street guy, but Hartman provided him with a job and a place to live, which made him grateful.

Maffeo hoped that Bowen would better not get involved with Rose, but he couldn't make it clear because he didn't know if doing so would be dangerous for Bowen. Maffeo knew that Rose was a dangerous fellow, and when he killed the rooftop archer last night, he didn't hesitate and acted skillfully, killing people was a common thing for him.

The job that Ross had given to Maffeo that day was finally not what the latter did not want to do, and he told Maffeo to go to the port to recruit some mercenaries to ensure the safety of the lumberyard. To Maffeo's surprise, it was the last thing Rose asked him to do. When this is done, he can get the wood that Sebastian wants. Although Maffeo wanted to find out Rose's true identity, he naturally would not give up this great opportunity to complete the commission, because he only had enough money on him to spend two days.

Rose told Maffeo about the port mercenaries, they were not much different from the guys of the Huttonmar mercenary group, the only difference was that they were not hired by the local Imperial army, and in fact, the Imperial army did not need the help of mercenaries. This made it difficult for them to get the face-to-face fight they imagined in the calm Orsente. Some of them are ready to leave, while others are waiting for the moment when the Thieves' Guild will start a rebellion.

When Maffeo arrived at the port, they were fighting in a ring that they had set up, the only way they could spend their days without a fight. These guys, unlike Randall and others, crave disputes, even all-out war. They had earned a lot of gold in war, which led them to believe that fighting was the only way to make money. They were no longer accustomed to baking bread in the bakery on a sunny morning, or delivering letters in the pouring rain on a rainy day, and they were accustomed to fighting.

Maffeo walked up to the mercenary leader and looked at him. He didn't notice Maffeo's presence, as he was waving his arms vigorously to cheer on the guys fighting in the ring. Maffeo found him draped over his armor over a crimson coat with a golden cross embroidered on his left shoulder. He felt strange because he didn't expect such a mercenary leader to believe in Remidia. "Captain Otto?" he began, drawing the mercenary leader's attention.

"What?" he was upset that his interest had been interrupted by an unrelated person.

"Mr. Hartman of the Eastern Lumberyards wants to ask your mercenaries to secure the lumberyards. Maffeo made his intentions clear.

Otto laughed: "Why, is the war now so small that it can only be fought in a lumberyard?"

"I'm not interested in joking. Maffeo said it wasn't funny.

"What are the conditions?" said Otto, though he sneered, but he would not turn down the business that came to him, but he could not guarantee that he would not offer a price that was difficult for the other party to accept. This is only because he is confident that his mercenary group can even compete with the knights of the Empire.

Maffeo handed Otto the parchment of the remuneration that Rose had given him, who simply glanced at the contents and handed the parchment back to Maffeo. "Tell Mr. Hartman that I will lead my mercenary group to his lumberyard at noon. You're lucky, at least now you don't have to worry about the safety of the lumberyard. Maffeo did not expect things to go so smoothly, and he began to wonder what was on the parchment, what was it that made the mercenary leader so readily agree to Hartmann's request?
