The city of Barissan, also known as the city of the Death Knell, is located on the high ground of the city, and this area is completely a city within a city, with a river running through the city and a high city wall cutting off its direct contact with the market district.

Geoffrey managed to pass the cross-examination of the soldiers at the city gates, for which he paid extra gold. Although it was only a small bag of gold coins, if it was changed to before, it would be enough for him to feel distressed for a while, but after experiencing the torture of negative equity of up to tens of thousands of gold coins in the past two days, the amount of a small bag of gold coins could not stir his nerves at all, I have to say that human beings are really very adaptable creatures.

The captain of the guard was not worried about this mercenary, this guy looked poor, blind, bearded, and looked like he was about to die at any moment, and the captain actually believed in his heart that this was a homeless man rather than a seasoned mercenary.

He beckoned the two soldiers over and ordered: "This mercenary is going to the city lord's mansion and says that there is a gift for Master Vic, you two go with you to take a look, if you dare to deceive me, you will be thrown directly into the prison." ”

As he spoke, he handed a gold coin to one person, which was considered the cost of running errands. The soldier was glad to have an extra income, and counting the share that everyone had just shared equally, he had already received two gold coins today. The others could only look at the two lucky fellows with envy, hoping that next time the captain would hand over this kind of good thing to himself, just take the way and monitor by the way, this kind of task is not too much, and no one thinks that this dirty mercenary can cause him any big trouble.

There are many arrow towers in the aristocratic district, and the soldiers patrolling are often seen, from the gate just now to the city lord's mansion, not too long a distance, Geoffrey has seen no less than five teams of patrolling soldiers. The soldiers were in teams of ten, with at least two heavily armored shield-wielding swordsmen, spear swordsmen, archers, and even a mage. Although they are only mages at the apprentice stage, with the cooperation of a team of soldiers, even official mages dare not underestimate them.

Geoffrey's image is out of place and he encounters a lot of inquiries along the way, but fortunately he has two soldiers with him, otherwise Geoffrey suspects that these rough guys will not pay attention to his explanation, and may spend the rest of his life in prison.

The soldiers took Geoffrey to the door of the city lord's mansion and left, as for whether Tang Mo saw him or not, it was his own business, and the soldiers thought that they had paid enough labor for it. So Geoffrey had to face a new challenge next, and he was ready to pay a small bag of gold coins again.

In the face of the golden cutie, the soldiers at the door were obviously a little moved, and the five of them shared this bag of gold coins was a lot of income! But in the end, they still refused the temptation with difficulty, they promised to tell Tang Mo Geoffrey's request, but they could not guarantee that Tang Mo would meet him.

Geoffrey was surprised that the soldiers would refuse a bribe, but he was happy to save a fee, which seemed like a good start, and perhaps Lady Luck had begun to notice poor Geoffrey, who was looking forward to the next meeting.

The weather had gradually cooled, although it was not too cold, but Tang Mo had already lit the fire early. It's not because he's afraid of the cold, he just likes this feeling of warmth, and in the past two years, he has found that he likes the warmth of the flame more and more, and looking at the jumping flame, he has a sense of happiness and contentment.

Tang Mo was glad that he was born in the Cleveland family, this place is a rare and vibrant area in Constanta, unlike many cities, which are full of undead creatures, and the flames and the undead are incompatible in the first place.

Geoffrey finally met this mage again, and unlike the last time they met, Tang Mo behaved very casually. It seems that there is just a stray dog suddenly appearing in front of him, although he minds a little, but in the final analysis, it is just a small animal, and he doesn't need special attention at all.

Before entering the door, Jeffrey had been completely disarmed, even his belt, boots and hair had been carefully examined, and even the leather armor had not been spared, and now he could only stand not far from Tang Mo in a cloth suit, and there were two strong soldiers behind him.

Geoffrey glanced at it secretly, it was indeed this mage, especially the slightly immature maid beside him, which made Geoffrey confirm this. The maid Cecil stood behind Tang Mo, gently kneading his head and shoulders for him, and resting on his back from time to time.

Geoffrey looked at the two of them with intimate expressions, and became more and more sure of his previous judgment, and couldn't help but resent Dennis's idiot even more, if it wasn't for his self-righteous teasing of others, he wouldn't have fallen into the current situation.

"I heard that you have something to offer me, is that so, mercenary?" Tang Mo asked arrogantly in a condescending tone, he only gave this mercenary a small lesson yesterday, did he dare to have any opinions?

Geoffrey said flatteringly, "That's right, Master Mage. ...... in my storage ring."

Tang Mo was quite satisfied with his title, but he still corrected unceremoniously: "That's my ring!"

Geoffrey was helpless, so he had no choice but to follow Tang Mo's tone and say, "Of course, that's your ring, and the gods can testify." ”

Tang Mo nodded and motioned for him to continue. Jeffrey continued, "There's something very special in that ring, and I'm sure you've noticed, there's a treasure chest that is hard to open. ”

He slowly reached into his arms, and quickly explained, "I have the key to it!" The soldiers standing to his right and left had already raised their daggers in their hands, one around his neck and the other against his waist. They had to be careful, if this mercenary made any dangerous moves, the mage who was close at hand would most likely be injured.

The four eyes were on Jeffrey's hand, and at the slightest movement the soldiers would unceremoniously kill the killer, and they would gladly serve the honorable mage and show it at the right time.

Geoffrey's forehead was sweating, he found that he was sweating more and more in the past two days, and finally he slowly took out a key, and a soldier snatched the key and handed it to Tang Mo, who nodded at him with admiration.

The soldier turned to spy on the mercenary with a happy face, feeling that he had a better chance of winning when he and his companions bragged about it in the future. Not everyone has the opportunity to serve a full-fledged mage, and this kind of close contact is a very honorable thing for ordinary soldiers. When you retire later, it is also a good conversation to go back to your hometown and open a tavern, which will definitely attract additional customers.

Tang Mo looked at the nervous mercenary and examined him with an inquiring gaze, "What's in the box? Don't try to lie, you know I have a way to make you tell the truth." ”

Geoffrey remembered the experience of that day, and had no doubt about the mage's statement, but he still fought hard, and for the sake of a happy life in the future, he said with great difficulty: "I need 50,000 gold coins to give you the key." ”

Tang Mo looked at him funny, and he shook the key in his hand: "You mean this thing, isn't it already in my hand?"

"But...... You're a nobleman, or a mage, aren't you? I'm not offending you today, you can't just take my stuff. The hapless mercenary struggled desperately, seeking that silver lining.

Tang Mo sighed in his heart, 50,000 gold coins is not a small amount, for the first time in his heart, he was a little dissatisfied with his identity as a noble plus mage, the power of gold coins is really not to be underestimated, if he is a thief, a profiteer, or simply a believer in the devil, then he can save a lot of money today.

So he said, "Of course, I won't take your key casually, but you have to prove its value, how can you prove that it is worth 50,000 gold coins?"

The soldiers felt that the two men had a point, and that the nobles should certainly not deprive others of their property at will, but the mercenary also had an obligation to prove the value of his goods, and dared to offer 50,000 gold coins for a mere key, thinking that the gold coins were turnips in the ground?

Geoffrey froze for a while, and finally said in frustration, "I can't prove it." ”

"You don't know what's inside?" Tang Mo asked unexpectedly.

"I don't know, I just know that what's inside is valuable. Jeffrey replied.

Tang Mo asked, "You don't know what's inside, but are you sure it's very valuable?"

"It's the regimental commander who said it, Clifford, the leader of our Iris Mercenary Regiment. He said there was something amazing in it, and it was worth a fortune. All he told me was this, oh, this thing should be something that belongs to our employer. ”

Tang Mo noticed a new term, "Employer?"

"A fugitive, a guy who escaped from the Four Kingdoms of Light, seems to be still being hunted down, and he has hired many mercenary groups to attract the pursuers in different directions. A lot of people died, some of the teams died without a single one, we were lucky, I should say that this guy named Ferdinand was a very cunning guy, our regiment didn't have any trouble, this must have been planned by him. ”

"It looks like Ferdinand doesn't have much money left, so he's willing to sell the contents of this box for 50,000 gold coins!" Jeffrey was in a hurry, and said everything he knew very simply, and finally he looked at Tang Mo with hopeful eyes, "So, do you want to buy it, Master Mage?"

The soldiers also looked at their little lord with eager eyes, and there was a feeling of witnessing history in their hearts, a big deal of 50,000 gold coins! Maybe there will be no second chance of this kind in this life, and they must have a good drink after work today, of course, they don't pay for it themselves, this story is enough for them to drink many free drinks, and many people will rush to pay for it!
