Since the establishment of the Holy Alliance and the subsidence of large-scale wars across the continent, the profession of adventurer has gradually flourished. Adventurers originated from mercenary organizations, when peace and development gradually became the theme of the pan-continent, the large mercenary groups with excess combat power not only found it difficult to find a way to support themselves, but also would not be tolerated by the increasingly centralized government of the major empires, so the mercenaries were broken into pieces and became adventurers, they either went to places like the Xiangyang Mountains to hunt precious magical beasts, or were hired by individuals or organizations to do some work to deliver letters and goods to support themselves.

"Adventurers are not only weak when they go it alone, but they also don't have the opportunity to get a suitable commission, so they will join forces and set up offices in big cities, which can not only make it easier for guests to send commissions, but also give adventurers who have no choice but to call their homes a place to rest. Kite Wings is such a place!"

After Martina rang the doorbell, a waiter in a white shirt, a black silk vest, and a bow tie with the same black bow quickly opened the mahogany door of the kite's wings for the two, and under his guidance, Nagi and Martina walked into the old corner tower together. Stepping over the high hardwood threshold, Nagi was greeted by a spacious hall filled with round tables covered with white tablecloths from Mosca, around which adventurers of all shapes were sitting in whispers or reading the newspapers published in the imperial capital. When the two walked in, they also attracted a lot of people's side eyes.

"This young lady, you're talking about the old yellow calendar! Nowadays, many noble children have joined the ranks of adventurers because of their hobbies! In high society, being an adventurer is an important part of attracting ladies!"

After listening to Martina's explanation to Nagi about the adventurer, the waiter boy turned around and interjected playfully.

"It's just not a good job!"

Nagi saw that the waiter brother was quite proud of this, and pouted and commented, in her opinion, it would be good for the nobles to stay in their own territory and manage their own people honestly, and it didn't make any practical sense to run out like this and be an adventurer other than looking cool.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that, this lovely young lady. ”

A gentleman in his mid-thirties, wearing a top hat, pushed his chair away and stood up, his cheeks covered with a beard that stretched from the base of his ears to his chin, and he looked more like an upper-class gentleman than the stupid black adventurers around him.

"Eh, who are you, uncle?"

Nagi retracted her steps, and she asked the bearded uncle in front of her, dressed in a crisp black gown and wearing shiny thick-soled black leather shoes.

"You may call me Fogg, dear miss. I have a fiefdom in the south, and people everywhere will call me Lord Earl. ”

Mr. Fogg didn't mind Nagi's faux pas, he took off his top hat, bowed slightly to Nagi, and introduced himself with a smile.

"Huh, you're the Earl!?"

Nagi looked at this bearded uncle with some surprise, in the Yangyan Empire, the only duke with the highest title was Elizabeth III's younger brother, and there were only a handful of marquis under the duke, most of them were important members of the town guard, and under the royal family, most of them were earls who could hold the territorial power of the empire.

"In the next is not talented, thanks to the Empress Xià to get this honor. ”

Mr. Fogg said with sincere trepidation.

"Why do you have nothing to do here if something happens to your realm, and if something happens to your realm, are you worthy of trusting your people?"

Nagi asked with a frown as she listened to Mr. Fogg's words.

"I have appointed a self-governing mayor in my territory, and the city council will manage my territory for me, not only will the people live well, but I will also be idle!"

Mr. Fogg explained with a smile and shaking his head.

"In the south, there are quite a few nobles like me, and it is better to come out and wander than to stay at home and collect rent! In fact, in recent years, led by nobles like us, several new trade routes have been opened up in the Yangyan Mountains!"

Mr. Fogg said proudly.

"So, you're familiar with the Yangyan Mountains, aren't you?"

Just as Nagi was talking to Mr. Fogg, Martina had already followed the waitress to the front desk of the Wings of Kites, when she came up with a piece of yellow paper with dense small print printed in lead letters.

"Oh, so the two young ladies are also out to experience the life of adventurers? Do you want to hunt wild deer, or do you want to travel to the wonderful scenery? I know a lot of picturesque places in the Yangyan Mountains~"

Mr. Fogg glanced at Martina with interest, patted his chest and said with interest.

"It's not yo~Nagi and I, I want to go to Devil Cry Gorge for an adventure~"

Martina, however, shook her little head and shook her two index fingers in front of Mr. Fogg's eyes.

"What? What the hell are you doing in that place?"

Mr. Fogg originally thought that the two of them were just the eldest lady of a noble family in the imperial capital who secretly ran out to take risks, although the Yangyan Mountain Range is a place where demonic beasts are rampant, but as long as you know a little bit of magic, if you go together, there are still many places that are relatively safe, because low-level demonic beasts will instinctively fear humans. So as long as you have an experienced guide, there is no danger in wandering around the outer reaches of the mountains.

"How's that will, will you take us?" Mr. 'brave' gentleman?"

Martina said with a teasing smile, she didn't expect Mr. Fogg to lead the way for her and Nagi, Devil May Cry is the birthplace of the Diglas River in the Yangyan Mountains, rising from the tall Natoria Peak, from countless streams to narrow canyons, rushing down at extremely high speeds, rushing out of the mountain passes to form a huge alluvial plain, nourishing countless people of the Yangyan Empire. However, although the Diglas River is known as the mother river in the Yangyan Empire, the Devil's Cry Gorge is home to countless dangerous demonic beasts, and it is also one of the most dangerous places in the entire Yangyan Mountain Range.

"Where is the most dangerous, if you can, I hope you two will think carefully. ”

The adventurers named the nameless canyon Devil's Cry Gorge to mean that even evil spirits would be scared to cry when they went there, and Mr. Fogg knew the danger of the place, so he persuaded them bitterly.

"Cut, forget it if you don't want to, Nagi let's go, the information has arrived~"

In terms of the information provided by the Wings of Kite, there seems to be an unclear super-dangerous species of magical beast in the Devil's Cry Gorge recently, so Martina is ready to try her luck there, although the Devil's Cry Gorge is not far from the imperial capital, but even if you use a high-speed flying mount like a griffin, it will take more than half a day to arrive, and the range of the Devil's Cry Gorge is also very huge, and it is time-consuming and laborious to search for a target in it. So Martina can't afford to waste any time now.

"Stay, since the two young ladies insist on going, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman. ”

However, Mr. Fogg unexpectedly stopped the two people who were about to leave, not that Mr. Fogg was really willing to risk his life to go to the Devil's Cry Gorge to die, but if you take the carriage to where to go, plus the walking distance is probably half a month, Mr. Fogg is ready to persuade the two in the process, no matter how bad it is, he can take the time to investigate their parents to stop the two! If he saw the two newborn calves running away to such a place and burying themselves in the mouth of the monster without fear of tigers, Mr. Fogg felt that as a glorious nobleman, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Aha! I didn't expect you stupid earl to be quite a man!"

Nagi looked at Mr. Fogg a little differently, and she thought that he was just an irresponsible, pompous aristocrat.

"Of course, it's an honor to be able to overcome obstacles for the two of you. ”

Mr. Fogg bowed smugly.

"Well, can you take me?"

At this moment, a dry, thin mosquito-like voice interjected.

"Who's there?

Nagi followed the faint voice to find the source of the incident, it was a girl with long black hair that had not been combed much, and her eyes were heavy black sockets, thin and small, and she didn't look like a healthy sunshine at all.

"Well, please, take me, okay? I've got a flying mount that can help you. ”

The girl raised her head, her long oblique bangs covered half of her eyes, and her two green eyes did not dare to look directly at others, trembling slightly in their eye sockets, although she tried her best to hide the fear in her heart, but the inferiority complex of fear of life was completely expressed.
