The servant of the inn knelt on the ground wiping the bloodstains, and Kenny looked back at the owner of the voice, and the old man dressed as a merchant was standing at the table, looking at Kenny with a wine glass and reverence on his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Come and sit, but it might be a little cramped. Kenny said and shifted to the side.

The old man sat down at Kenny's table with his glass, "I'm sorry, honorable knight, I may have been a little presumptuous in what I said just now, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but I just accidentally overheard it, I hope you don't mind." ”

"No, there's no one else in this hall, maybe I'm too loud. Kenny raised his glass and motioned for the old man to join him.

The old man took a sip of his glass. "To be honest, the scene just now was a little scary. But after you said that, I think you're doing the right thing, judging by your outfit you should be at least the leader of a legion, can you ask which lord you play for?"

"I'm from the south, not from this continent, hehe. Kenny smiled at the old man.

"Oh my God, are you from the First Continent?"

"Do you know the First Continent?"

"Of course, my ancestors were sent here by the Marshall family from the First Continent, and then they established the city of Nipur, and then cut off the connection with the First Continent, and no one wants to live in that kind of dark ghost place and be exploited!"

"Well, no wonder the First Continent has been rumored to be here and there is no return. ”

"Well, although Nipur City has been turbulent all these years, and is even known as the Demon City, no matter who is the lord, it is better than the First Continent led by the Marshall family, and it is easier to hang yourself on a cherry tree than to live that kind of life!"

"Haha! I didn't think that the reputation of the Marshall family would be stinky on this continent. ”

"May I ask a question?" the old man's voice suddenly quieted.

"Ask, but don't use that tone, it sounds a bit like a conspiracy. Kenny looked at the old man's face with a serious face, as if he had guessed what he was going to ask.

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably want to replace Lord Patton as the new master of Nipur City, right?" the old man's voice was so small that it was barely audible.

Kenny's face turned serious as he listened to the sharp, slightly guessing words.

"I'm sorry, but I may have asked a bit abruptly, but I hope you don't mind. The old man raised his glass and wanted to leave.

Kenny reached out and pressed the old man's glass, looked up and whispered, "It's not too late to leave after that, what do you say?"

The old man smiled and sat down, "Respectable knight, don't be nervous, I swear to the god Namu that I am not Patton's lackey, at least not yet. What you just said makes me think that you are more suitable than Barton to be the new master of Nipur City, maybe not only Barton, maybe you are better than any lord in two hundred years, I am not slapping you on the back. ”

"With a few casual words from me, you can tell that I am a wise lord? Kenny's words were tinged with contempt.

"If it had been Barton, the life of the cook and the boy would have been lost. The old man said with a smile on his face.

"Really, if I do want to be the new master of Nipur City, as you say, do you think I have a good chance of winning?" Kenny asked, putting away the seriousness on his face.

"How many people are in your army?"

Kenny listened to the old man's words, moved his eyes to the two people at the table, and then turned his head to look at the old man.

"Three?" the old man looked at Kenny in surprise, "You don't want to assassinate Barton, do you?"

"What if it is?" Kenny asked rhetorically.

"God Namu bless, dispel this thought, you can't succeed!" the old man straightened up.

"You're not just an ordinary horse trader, are you, tell me the truth, who are you in the name of the god Namu?" Kenny's words said in an unmistakable tone.

"My name is Hyde, and I'm really a businessman, so if you don't believe me, you can go outside and see the fish in the car. Two years ago, however, I was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Nippur, and was later revoked by Barton for tax concealment, and now I am barely making ends meet by dumping some goods. I didn't hide those taxes for myself, but to repair the roads and houses in the city, and I love the city of Nippur, but it's too messy there. The old man said depressedly and took a long sip of wine.

"Old Hyde, why did you let us dismiss the idea of assassinating Barton?" Alan said.

"Patton usually only stays in Morwin Castle, and even if he sleeps, he will be protected by nearly thirty guards, and if he leaves Morwin Castle, he will have to be followed by at least a hundred guards, and you will not be able to succeed, unless one of you has wings, but apparently not. ”

Kenny listened to the old man's words and looked at Allen, as if he was complaining about Allen and preventing Mio from joining the plan.

"We certainly don't know as much about the situation in Nipur City, can you tell us about the situation there?" asked Alan as he looked at Old Hyde from Kenny's eyes.

"I haven't been involved in the politics of Nipur for two years, and as you know, the situation in Nipur has always been in crisis, and there are coups almost every month, and maybe today this minister has just taken office, and tomorrow he will become a fishmonger like me, or worse, he may be hanged in prison, and there is no one to collect the body. However, the three commanders of the Horn Legion have always been loyal, and Patton's positions have not changed over the years since he took office, and it can be seen that Patton trusts the three of them very much. ”

"Can you tell us about the three regimental commanders?" asked Alan curiously.

"The Horn Legion is also modeled after the First Continent Army, consisting of cavalry, infantry, and archers, and the cavalry commander Taylor is Patton's brother-in-law, who is a flamboyant guy who married Patton's sister with his three-inch tongue and good face, and has no real skills. ”

"The commander of the infantry regiment, Sercy, and the commander of the archery corps, Philo, are remarkable. Sersi was the son of a slave who was sold to the Colosseum in Nipur due to a conflict with a nobleman. It is said that when he was only nineteen years old that year, he actually killed a brown bear with his bare hands in the Colosseum, and coincidentally Barton was also in the stands that day, and took him into his account, and later Barton staged a coup d'état to overthrow Sam's regime, and in that battle, Sersi used his flesh and blood to block a fatal arrow for Barton, and after the victory, Barton promoted him to the rank of infantry commander and awarded him the title of marquis. ”

"Fallen was born into a nobleman, but unfortunately his father offended the previous lord Sam and was stripped of his title, legend has it that he could shoot a small gold coin from 200 paces away, and before Patton staged a coup d'état, he joined the Horn Legion, and after the coup d'état, Barton reinstated his status as a duke and promoted to the rank of chief archer. Old Hyde looked at the two of them and said intently.
