Chapter 2 The people are simple and the wildfire city

In fact, Xu Nan originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, his original plan was to find the place where humans gather first, and then follow the system task, quickly brush up on the level and bloodline ability, and occasionally get a copy of Paradise Lost, and improve his strength as soon as possible before the earth and the general world merge.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.

The Black Knight is too strong to outnumber him, and unless he is willing to use the hole card of Paradise Lost, he will have to obediently obey the other party's arrangement.

"Well, since we are willing to cooperate, we are partners."

The Black Knight silently took off his visor, revealing a rather delicate face, but unfortunately there was a scar on the left side, and there were dense threads sewn nearby, which made him look a little hideous and terrifying.

"I am Gray, a high-ranking mercenary, who is home all over the world, and I am currently entrusted by the Lord of the Quicksand Lands to escort his second daughter to Wildfire City to serve as the City Lord."

Xu Nan nodded: "I'm ......"

Before the name of Xiaocheng Song could be exported, he was stopped by Gray:

"No matter what your name was before, now you are a nobleman in the quicksand, your name is Su, if others call you Miss Su, you have to reprimand him viciously, and correct him to make him call sir."

"The quicksand land is the buffer of the hinterland of the Eastern Kingdom and the Great Ice Fields of the Northeast, and it is the richest territory of the kingdom, and I will give you a copy of the information of the Mel family on the quicksand map in a while, you need to memorize it."

"After entering Wildfire City, you need to be careful everywhere, as long as it takes three to five weeks, you can get out with peace of mind."

Glowing by the campfire, Gray elaborated on his plans.

……

He was commissioned by the local lord in the quicksands, and as a high-ranking mercenary known in the north, Gray was one of the few high-ranking professionals willing to accept escort tasks.

The background of the story is a bit complicated, roughly speaking, it is that Su, the second daughter of the lord of the quicksand, accidentally got a token.

Such a token is said to make her the lord of Wildfire City.

In the quicksands, she was originally an alternative, often making the territory restless, and it is said that she is a character who bullies men and women...... In short, the lord of the quicksand sent her away like a plague god.

Accompanying her, there were also some family guards, who escorted Miss Su to her post safely.

But halfway through, they were killed.

In the end, only Gray remained.

Along the way, they were ambushed five times, each one more ruthless, and Gray once persuaded Sue not to go to Wildfire City again; But the young and vigorous Miss Su was disobedient and insisted on going her own way, and in the end, in the last ambush, Gray was pinned down by the enemy's high-level adventurers, and the two separated.

Without Gray's protection, Sue's death was a matter of time.

In this way, Gray's escort mission can be regarded as a failure.

As a high-ranking mercenary, Gray is considered conscientious; But he also cherishes his reputation.

He had to think about his own interests, and after Sue's death, he had to find a way to stop the loss.

The task of the quicksand is to let himself escort the second lady to the post, as long as he sends the person, the task will be completed; As for the second lady running away from home afterwards, it's none of her business.

With such a thought, Gray unexpectedly found that Xu Nan and Su were very similar, so he had a plan to impersonate.

……

"The servants in the quicksand are all dead, and the people of Wildfire City only have Sue's portrait in their hands, and they will definitely not recognize you."

Gray explained, "When it is done, I will give you the Golden Dragon Order as soon as it is done. You'll even have a chance to make a splash in Wildfire City and then quietly disappear before the second group of people from the Quicksand Land arrive in Wildfire City. ”

"And according to my observations in the quicksands, the lord has a lot of headaches for this second daughter, and he doesn't even care about her life or death, so there is nothing wrong with our plan."

He spoke of the Word.

Xu Nan was sneering in his heart.

Don't have any questions?

No problem, this Miss Su, who likes to dress up as a man, will die in the snow? The body was still turned out by the licking dog?

Now that the attackers have killed Sue, they will naturally retreat.

But what about after you enter Wildfire City?

Why would anyone want to kill Su?

What kind of place is Wildfire City?

What exactly is a token?

All this is unknown!

What Gray said sounded good, but in fact, he used Xu Nan as a tool to push him forward, anyway, he could make a lot of money himself.

Sure enough, it's still naΓ―ve to expect mercenaries to have any good intentions.

Xu Nan thought about it, anyway, his current character is angry, and some gray in his rectum is estimated to feel that he is easy to control.

So he immediately jumped to his feet and said:

"That's not going to work! You didn't say there were so many ambushes before! ”

"You don't know who killed that woman, if I impersonate her and want to kill her, will I continue to hunt me down?"

Gray looked at him deeply:

"I already have a clue about the ambushers, most of them are local forces in Wildfire City."

"It's been chaos here for a long time, and there has been no city lord for many years, so of course they don't want to suddenly parachute a city lord and take away their interests."

"But you can rest assured, first, that I will protect you; Second, when they entered Wildfire City, they didn't dare to mess around, after all, no one dared to openly assassinate the nobles of the kingdom in the city. ”

"As for the token or something...... You go and bring all the relics of Su, and there will be a harvest after all. I really can't do it, I'll go to Wildfire City and think of a way for you! ”

Xu Nan couldn't stop in his heart.

Listen to Gray say that Wildfire City has always been a borderland; A few months ago, Su accidentally obtained a token, and only with this token can he become the lord of Wildfire City.

Now that Su is dead, it proves that the ambushers have succeeded, and they will definitely take the token with them.

Go to Wildfire City by yourself and have no tokens, how can you be the lord of the city?

This guy just wants to trick himself into going to Wildfire City, and then slap his ass and leave!

However, after listening to it for a long time, he also became interested in Wildfire City, and it seemed good to take this opportunity to go over and have a look.

"One hundred golden dragon orders, I want cash."

Xu Nan looked like he wouldn't go without giving money.

He was sure that Gray would not dare to touch him, because he had a request for him.

In order to get the remuneration of the quicksand, this guy even did the operation of changing the tanuki for the prince, how could he change his mind because of a young man's offense?

What's more, Gray is obviously very confident in his own strength, he is a second-order warlock, in his eyes, he is a role that cannot be escaped at all, and giving the Golden Dragon Order to himself in advance is just a pocket for him.

"Maybe, he'll kill people afterwards."

Xu Nan thought secretly.

Sure enough, Gray was silent for a long time, and said slowly:

"Okay."

Around the campfire, two people with their own ghosts come to a fragile agreement.

……

It didn't take long for the two to embark on their way to Wildfire City.

Along the way, Xu Nan not only has to memorize the information of the quicksand and imitate Sue's behavior, but also listen to the rumors about Gray's introduction to Wildfire City.

Having lost the Apocalypse Warlock's specialty [Unforgettable], he really looks a bit of a snack.

After all, these otherworldly nobles have too much knowledge.

Grey was obviously worried about this, and he looked back as he rode his horse and asked worriedly:

"Can you remember?"

"No problem!"

Xu Nan touched the bookscraps in his mouth and patted his chest to ensure that the chain would not fall.

After the [Gluttonous True Colors] was activated, the information about the quicksand land was all in my mind.

Next, it's time to hear the story of Wildfire City.

Wildfire City, a city-state isolated in the northeastern part of the Eastern Kingdom. Nominally, it belongs to the Kingdom of the Rhine, but in reality, it has been leaderless for a long time since the death of its founder, Sir Barton.

The kingdom once sent seven or eight administrators to serve as city lords, but they all died quickly, and the external version was that the weather was too cold to adapt to the water and soil...... Wang Du was helpless about this.

In recent years, the Rhine Kingdom has been suffering from friction with the countries to the west, and many people have even suggested abandoning the enclaves in the northwest - Snowfield City and Icewind Territory; Where is the heart to take care of this savage city in the northeast?

The inhabitants of Wildfire City are mainly people from the Northland Ice Plains, and this place is known to the outside world as "the people are simple and the roads are not forgotten".

The explanation of insiders in the kingdom is that the people of Wildfire City are indeed simple, and the people of the ice field are very kind, saying that if they want to kill your whole family, they will never leave a single mouth; There is indeed no road left behind in the city, because if you see a wallet on the ground in Wildfire City, someone must be setting it up, but if you dare to bend down to pick it up, you will be ruined at least and exposed to corpses in the canal......

The chaos inside Wildfire City can be seen.

Several Icefield family forces, led by the Sebaron family, control all the lifeblood of Wildfire City.

In other words, Wildfire City is still up to these unruly Ice Plains people.

……

"Can I get my money back now?"

After listening to the description, Xu Nan pretended to be cowardly.

Gray said very easily: "Your current identity is the second lady of the quicksands, and you are very famous in the entire eastern kingdom, they don't dare to harm you easily, otherwise they will attract the elite soldiers of the quicksands." The Iceplains may seem reckless, but they are actually very cunning, as long as you don't provoke them. ”

"Remember, you're only here to be the lord of the city, don't fight the Iceborn."

"Wildfire City is coming soon, are you ready?"

Gray said solemnly.

Not far away, a huge wall made of boulders has appeared, on which is written Wildfire City crookedly.

The two rode to the city wall. The people near the city gate were sparsely populated, but they all looked powerful.

Gray made a look, and Xu Nan immediately roared angrily:

"Why didn't the people of the Sebaron family come to meet me?"

"I'm the new lord of Wildfire City, Sue. Toomel! ”

"You civilians, get out of the way!"

The people in the ice field who were entering and exiting the city gate one after another were stunned for a moment, and the guards who were about to meet them heard this, suddenly retracted a few steps, found a short man in civilian clothes, and whispered a few words.

"There is no lord in Wildfire City."

"There were, but there won't be."

A young ice man walked past Xu Nan disdainfully, and defiantly pointed the spear in his hand at them:

"Also, you're shouting too softly, sissy......"
