Chapter XXIV Gathering of Intelligence

Sure enough, Chriss, after three rounds of drinking, turned to him: "Orbis, are you all from the vicinity of the imperial capital?"

Orbis nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master Chris, my family is in the imperial capital, and most of them are too." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I have something to ask you for, or rather, hire you. โ€

Orbis's heart was beating wildly, barely keeping himself calm: "Young Master Chris, you say. โ€

"I need you to keep an eye out for me on some news from the Imperial Capital. "Chris has been thinking about this for a long time, and now he is involved with the elves, and the elves want to steal something in the Temple of Light; and he has actually stood on the opposite side of the Temple of Light; and Francis was deposed of his left hand, if he is not mistaken, the group of killers he met on the way home after the final assessment are the family guards sent by Francis.

These are all related to themselves, and it is necessary for them to know the relevant news in time, but there is no paper in this world, resulting in no newspaper at all, and if you want to know the latest news, you can only rely on people's word of mouth, so the most well-informed people in the imperial capital are the three religions and nine streams who are active in all corners of the imperial capital, and what they can currently contact is these mercenaries.

Orbis blinked, a little puzzled: "What kind of news is it?

Chris patiently explained: "All the news is good, but there is one thing that does not need to be added to your own speculation. โ€

Orbis and the rest of the mercenaries looked at each other.

Chris could only make some clarity: "The news about the Temple of Light, the Lantis Academy, and the Imperial Family is the point - either for you to inquire about spying on them, or for anything you hear on your regular missions or on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. โ€

Orbis glanced at the rest of his teammates and nodded stunned.

"How many of you Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment are there?"

Orbis thought for a moment: "About six or seven hundred." โ€

Chris nodded, "So how often will you meet?" โ€

"There are very few, there is no need to gather together without a special task, at most about 300 people at a time. โ€

"Alright!" Chris's finger tapped on the table, "you can usually go about your own tasks, and if you hear something special, write it down on parchment, and come to this tavern once a week on this evening, and I will send someone to pick it up, and if you have news that you think is particularly important, go to Lantis College to find me, and I will talk to the guards at the gate of the college,"

He looked at the mercenaries: "Well, you are six people, and I will give you six gold coins each time, and add another six or more coins if there is important news - it depends, is there a problem?"

Orbis and the mercenaries looked at each other and were overjoyed: "Yes, we can do it." Then, with some hesitation.

Chris continued, "By the way, there may be times when you are given the task of traveling far away, so give the parchment you have written down to the guard at the door of Lantis, or to the counter of this tavernโ€”remember, as a last resort. โ€

"Yes, yes. โ€

"Okay, that's all for me, let's disperse. โ€

Everyone got up and walked out of the tavern, where Chris and the mercenaries waved goodbye.

The next day was full of enrollment reports, and Chris was not in a hurry to return to the academy immediately, booked a room in a nearby hotel, and then walked towards the center of the imperial capital.

Probably many men are afraid of one thing: shopping.

But it is difficult for most men to avoid this kind of behavior, and it is interesting to note that there are many men who do not reject this behavior when they are single, but often show a lack of interest when shopping with their girlfriends or wives.

In both his previous life and this life, Chris was single, so he had never tasted the feeling of being faced with crowded customers and long queues to buy goods for his loved ones, or being dragged into a store by a woman and trying on clothes one by one.

Men are relatively purposeful, and if they want to buy something, they often go straight to the destination and leave after buying. Women are very different, even if they buy what they want, they often become interested in irrelevant goods they see when passing by, take a look at them, and try them. It is said that shopping is good for women's health and helps improve mental health when emotions are high. But not men, shopping will make men's blood pressure rise, produce irritability, if the work is not completed but are pulled to the street, this pressure produces the highest state, even equivalent to the emergency experienced by fighter pilots or police officers when performing dangerous missions.

What will happen in the future, Chris doesn't know, but for now, he still likes to wander around the imperial capital aimlessly and directionlessly, which is what distinguishes him from most nobles and nobles.

The night of the imperial capital is still very prosperous, the street market roadside stalls are hung with oil lamps with lampshades, and the goods placed are all-inclusive, all kinds of local handicrafts in the imperial capital, wood carvings, metal utensils, umbrellas, fruits, snacks, and some scattered weapons and equipment, and even the existence of ores and magic crystals, and there are still some people dancing in the center of the market.

Chris stood still, and suddenly remembered that he had heard someone say that the best place to pass the time at night, in addition to the most famous song and dance theater in the imperial capital, is the most lively gladiatorial arena, usually in the academy, because of the academy's school rules that you must return to school at night, I haven't really seen this.

It's a rare opportunity tonight, so it's a good idea to check it out.

Chris summoned the carriage and headed for the Colosseum.
