"Hey, have you heard, half a month ago, near the frontier of the Eastern Region, what happened?" a lizardman mercenary asked the others in the same seat mysteriously.

"You mean, the Naga army?" replied the other lizardman, who was working alongside him with a large glass of liquor in his hand.

"I said, what the hell is going on, don't bother!" The third octopus mercenary didn't seem to know about this, he saw the two companions who were drinking with him talking in a cryptic way, and he didn't know what others were saying, so he felt left out in his heart, so he said very uncomfortably: "Do you still treat me as a friend?

"Shhhh

"It's normal that you don't know!" The lizardman who was the first to speak put his mouth next to the other ear of the octopus mercenary, and also lowered his voice and said: "Just half a month ago, a team of Naga elite warriors was actually wiped out on the border leading to the submarine plain, and a friend of mine passed by, but I saw with my own eyes that those elite Naga warriors died so miserably, and the corpses were not intact!"

"And ah!" The second drunken-eyed mercenary seemed to be about to show that he was broad-minded, and he hurriedly continued: "I heard that the Ocean Goddess Chamber of Commerce secretly collaborated with the enemy and secretly smuggled military rations and weapons to the rebels in the submarine plain, but was caught red-handed by the patrolling army, who knew that they actually resisted, and they also gave the Naga soldiers who rounded up them ......"

The drunken mercenary said this, slashed his hand in front of his neck, and then sent all the liquor in the cup in his hand into his stomach, but he was already almost drunk, plus such a large glass of liquor, the whole person was drunk on the spot, and his body collapsed on the table softly, and he fell asleep.

"If you can't drink it, don't do it!" The mercenary who was the first to speak scolded a few words of dissatisfaction, and carried his drunk companion and swayed towards the door of the bar, while the octopus mercenary looked around a few times, and after finding that no one in the entire bar paid attention to him, he staggered towards the back of the bar, looking as if he had drunk too much and planned to make it easier.

The kind of bar where the octopus man mercenary is located doesn't even have a name, naturally it can't be fully equipped, the so-called convenience is just solved in the back alley, the octopus man walked into the back alley and smelled a foul smell coming to his nose, he frowned, stuffed a few tentacles on his chin into his nostrils, and slowly walked from the alley to the street outside on tiptoe. It was already late at night, and there were only a few professions that had not gone home to rest on the street at this time, and the octopus mercenary pushed away dozens of warblers that stuck to him, and turned into a secluded alley on the corner.

The footsteps of the octopus mercenary suddenly stopped, because in front of the alley, two male Naga in leather armor blocked his direction, and the octopus mercenary suddenly changed his face when he saw the emblem on the other's chest, because he recognized the two male Naga people as the Inspectorate, although the name of this organization sounds plain, but it is specially used by the Naga Empire to suppress and arrest the resistance organization, and anyone who is caught has never come out.

The octopus mercenary turned around without hesitation, but his escape plan died before it could be implemented, because at the intersection where he walked into the alley, there were also two Naga men dressed exactly the same waiting in place, and when he saw the octopus man mercenary trying to run, one of the Naga men said with a cruel smile on his face: "A few of us have been eyeing you for a while, you have been running a lot of places tonight to find out the news, but your camouflage level is too poor, and you haven't changed your outfit." ”

"Hmph, come with us honestly, save everyone trouble!" Another Naga man also spoke: "Of course, if you don't want to cooperate, we don't mind removing your arm, anyway, we only need your mouth to move, and the other parts are ......"

"Don't dismantle it!" a cold voice came from behind the two Naga men, the two secret agents of the Inspectorate were highly trained, and as soon as they heard this voice, they knew that there were others lurking here, so they did not hesitate to turn around and attack, but as soon as they moved, they felt a sharp pain in their throats, and then their heads fell backwards and fell to the ground.

Two muffled sounds came from behind the Octopus Mercenary, the sound of the Naga man blocking his path being smashed in the head with a warhammer, and then the dark elf Herisna emerged from the darkness of the alley, holding an ordinary hammer in her hand, and looking at the wear and tear on it, it was probably taken from some blacksmith shop. After making sure that the corpse was indeed dead at her feet, Herrisna stepped over the corpse and walked towards the Octopus mercenary. At the intersection where the octopus mercenaries entered, Sophie put away the Shadow Death Short Sword and walked over slowly.

"Thank you, thank you!" the octopus mercenary wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked him repeatedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, the master is still waiting for you. Sophie beckoned to the octopus mercenary and walked into the depths of the alley first, and after Helisna carefully checked her surroundings again, making sure that no one was following her and leaving no trace, she quietly disappeared into the shadows.

When the Octopus mercenary walked into the room, Ryan was sitting leisurely on a chair in the center of the room, and when the octopus mercenary sat across from him, he waved his hand at the other party, removing the octopus mercenary's magical disguise, revealing Paul's face. Paul, disguised as an Octopus mercenary, sighed before he could speak, apparently his efforts to communicate and gather intelligence around the city tonight were not going well.

After being ambushed by the Naga soldiers, Ryan and his entourage changed to seahorses under the leadership of Paul to speed up the pace of progress, but even if they traveled overnight, it took almost half a month to come to Ettiresac, that is, the commercial transit station of Ticilis's residence Ticilina Fortress, but due to the development of nearly 10,000 years, this transit station set up in the past to operate military rations and other materials has already developed into a giant commercial city, on the contrary, Titirius's residence has become its satellite city, which was unexpected by the Naga Empress who ordered the establishment of a commercial transit station。

As a result, when on the outskirts of Ettiresak, Ryan and his entourage actually saw a wanted notice with Paul's head pasted all over the place, after a little inquiry, Ryan and they learned that the Ocean Goddess Chamber of Commerce was actually seized by a number of generals under Tisilis, and the crime of seizure was actually collaborating with the enemy, according to the description on the wanted notice, Paul, the head of the Ocean Goddess Chamber of Commerce, secretly funded the Naga Empire rebels, providing them with a lot of money and materials, and a series of riots such as the beast tide that broke out in the submarine plain were the actions of that group of rebels, and Paul secretly went to Ebosson during the riots in order to reach some kind of ulterior secret agreement with the other party, the Inspectorate of the Eastern Region of the Empire and the Naga army launched a pursuit of Paul, but the other party escaped, and hundreds of heroic Naga warriors died heroically and so on.

This news blinded Paul all of a sudden, he didn't know at all how he was ordered by Lord Ticilis to check the military food reserves became a secret contract with the rebels, and the Sea Goddess Chamber of Commerce has always been a tool for Lord Ticilis's personal wealth, although Paul is the director, he is only responsible for specific affairs, and the power of the entire Chamber of Commerce is not in the hands of a few of their supervisors, but is personally controlled by Ticilis's maid, in other words, although this wanted notice is ostensibly aimed at Paul, it has actually pointed to the core power that Ticilis has。

In view of this bad situation, Paul decisively gave up the idea of taking Ryan to meet Titirith directly, and instead infiltrated the city of Ethirisc to find out the news, but he was busy for most of the night, but brought back a frustrating truth.

"There are indeed some problems with the situation, and now the whole city is actually rumored that the lord has disappeared, which is why some guys have made a rumor that the Sea Goddess Chamber of Commerce and the imperial rebels have a secret agreement, although I am arrested on the wanted notice, but this matter really points to the master of the chamber of commerce, my lord!" "Paul the octopus man sat opposite Ryan and said to him with a calm face:" Originally, I was going to ask Lord Tisialis to introduce you directly, but this plan could be put on hold for a few days, and now that my wanted warrants are plastered all over the eastern region, I am afraid that if I appear, I will be killed on the spot, which is called death without proof. ”

"Looks like you're going to be out of luck with your master. Ryan said lightly.

"No, it won't!" Paul seemed to be a little emotional after hearing Ryan say disrespectful words to Ticilis, he stood up and said loudly: "Dear sir, please rest assured, this is just some small conspiracy, my master is by no means so easy to be defeated, but the incident happened suddenly, and I have just returned here, and there is no way to confirm which of my master's subordinates are still trustworthy, so I need a little time." ”
