Chapter 201: Hidden Chaos in the City of Farlon
The little man was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked at the waiter and said embarrassedly, "Can these two beers be returned?" I didn't bring any money. ”
"No kidding." The waiter closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, then opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Otherwise, you will be found in the sewers tomorrow." ”
"I can go back and get it." The little man's face changed when he heard this, and he swallowed his saliva and said.
The waiter was about to say something when he heard this, but he interrupted, "Okay, these two cups are counted on me, and it just so happens that I am more curious about Farron and ask about something else." ”
"You're so kind, I don't want you to die like this." The waiter smiled, then turned and walked away.
"Whew~ almost died." When the little man saw that the waiter was gone, he immediately raised the beer glass on the table that was bigger than his head, drank it all, and then put the wine glass on the table, and then looked at Yang Se and said, "Thank you really just now." ”
Rust, who was sitting next to him, looked at the hops on his body in disgust, and got up and sat down on the side of the man.
"Uh... Am I so disgusting? The corners of the little man's mouth twitched, and then he looked at the slices of bread that were slowly putting slices of bread into his mouth, "What do you need to know?" ”
Swallowing the bread, smoothing it with milk again, he looked at the little man, "Farlon's current situation, and what kind of existence the Squirrel Gang is. ”
"The situation of Faron is not very good, when the Faron family was in charge, there was oppression everywhere, the incurable Black Death made a mess here, people died every day, most of the people lived in despair and began to indulge, the poor and the gangsters stole and violent, drunk, the rich and the nobles feasted all day long." The little man said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, he nodded, "I did see a lot of violent scenes when I came, but fortunately, the city is not completely out of control, and I have seen the sheriff." ”
"That's because the Governor has come over to run the city, otherwise you'd see a worse situation than that." When the little man heard the words, he raised his glass and took a big sip and said:
"Officials and priests who have access to their posts have deserted, the remaining notaries and sheriffs who cannot escape refuse to make wills for the deceased, priests have refused to pray for the dead, there is no one to take care of the corpses on the streets, gangs and guilds openly fight in front of the town hall, and even cultists perform ceremonies with corpses in the streets during the day."
"That's hell on earth." He listened and said slowly.
"And now, too." The little man replied, then looked down at the left and right and finally lowered his voice and said, "The chaos is just hidden, and the reason why the new governor has not died until now is because he has medicine." ”
"Medicine for the Black Death?" Questioning.
"That's right."
"Yellow powder?"
"The one you're talking about is a black market potion, and according to the news from the brothers guarding the Governor's Palace, it's a glowing stone."
"Do you still have anyone in the Governor's Palace?" Hearing this, she was a little surprised, this little man who couldn't afford two beers was quite energetic.
"It's not unusual, it's our mercenary group who guards the Governor's Palace." The little man smiled, "The sheriffs in the city are all from the old mayor's faction, and the old mayor is from the Farlong family, and the new governor is not at ease." ”
"It's messy enough." Hearing this, he nodded.
"After all, the royal power is intervening at this time, and the Faron family is still a little unwilling." The little man said, "Actually, the citizens of the city want to say what they say, but when the royal family gave the freedmen of Farlon, they did not have the right to choose the mayor themselves. ”
"This is a legacy of the compromise made between the royal family and the citizens who were eager for concessions in the first place, and the Farron family for the sake of the city's freedom to go smoothly."
"So they are all watching now, the powerful citizens think that he can't do anything and make excuses to buy votes from the royal family, the Farron family wants him to die here so that he can resume his rule, and the only people who expect him to govern Faron well are probably only those ordinary citizens."
"But these ordinary citizens can't even protect their own lives, and their hopes can't be supported by the new governor."
"What about the church? During the day, I saw more than one church in the city. Asking.
"The church? They are too busy with their own internal power struggles, so how can they have time to take care of the affairs of the city hall. "The little man mentions the church with disdain.
"In fact, the citizens are still useful, or the citizens are his biggest honor guard, at least the new governor can mobilize the security team in the name of the citizens to maintain the apparent order, if they don't listen, then they can be replaced, after all, this is the city of citizens, and if it really resists, it can drown any institution." He was silent for a moment and said, "So the order is still there." ”
"No kidding, the various agencies are very restrained." Hearing this, the little man said seriously, "If you are really a guard of honor who can survive tonight's difficulties, then you are wrong, after all, the news of your shipment has leaked, and the cultists and churches, gangsters and robbers are all worried about it!" ”
"Just because we're outsiders and thin?" He asked, looking at the little man.
"Of course you're a fat sheep! If it weren't for the fact that we were still messing around in this city, we would all want to rob you, I'll tell you! The little man said matter-of-factly, "You have to think about it, I have information that the Squat Gang is going to grab the first food tonight, and they have more than 800 people, and one person can break you with one knife." ”
"Rendering Faron in such a mess is nothing more than wanting me to hire you, you're a mercenary, haven't you introduced it yet." He asked with a smile.
"That's right! I am a thief of the Wolf Mercenary Regiment, we are a powerful mercenary group with a number of 100 people, and we have a high ranking in the Farron Mercenary Guild! The little man was very proud when he mentioned his mercenary group, and his chin was almost raised to block his head, "Anyone in Faron wants to give our mercenary group a face!" ”
"So the waiter was just going to throw you out, was it a joke?" Rust, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but say when he saw his boasting face, I secretly thought, do you know who is sitting in front of you?
"Uh... That's true. The thief was embarrassed when he heard this, but then said excitedly, "But the strength of the mercenary group can't be faked, this is known as soon as you ask, we can definitely protect your safety, how about we go to the mercenary union to register!" ”
"There are only a hundred of you, and you want to protect the governor and protect me, but there are eight hundred on the other side." He smiled, "Mercenaries are risky, so you need to be cautious when taking jobs." ”
"We are a mercenary group with strong people, there are ten high-level warriors alone, and there are more than thirty intermediate warriors left, how can those gopher flies be compared." The thief sneered, "We've been involved in wars. ”
"High-level warriors? The 20,000 legions sent to Ward by the Empire are all high-ranking warriors, right? Teaser asked.
"That's right, there are people in our mercenary group who are comparable to the elite of the empire, now you can rest assured!" The thief took a sip of the beer in his glass, "Before it's dark, follow me to the union to register!" ”
