The new Initial docked at the cloudy harbor.

In the cold sea breeze, a group of soldiers marched out into the harbor in a neat line. The weapons they held were like spears, and the blood graffiti on the right chest of the refined plate armor washed away the immaturity of their faces.

Lossi stepped on the docks, squinting slightly at the corrupt harbor swirling with crows. As the captain, his plate armor was as clean as new, as he hadn't killed the nezumi in the previous battle, but Lorsi didn't know why Lord Annan had ......

He planned to personally kill some rat men in this trial, and as the commander of the soldiers personally appointed by Lord Annan, he could not be as powerful as his subordinates.

Dada——

From behind him, there was the crisp sound of leather boots stepping on the deck, and Lossy looked up to see Fast leaning against the side of the ship, wearing a crooked captain's hat: "Good luck." ”

Rosie nodded solemnly, took one last look at the parchment, and let go of his hand to let the wind sweep it into the ocean.

[The rat plague ran from south to north, hitting the royal capital and falling apart. But the rat tide is still devastating to the towns along the way. Harbor of Eternal Night is fortunate and unfortunate. Unfortunately for its possession by pirates and then ratmen, you are fortunate to change its fate. 】

[The main force of the rat tide has gone north, and only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled are left here. This is the breeding ground of the warriors and the burial ground of the nezumi. Your next mission: clean up the Eternal Night Harbor so that it can become a port of call in Starmoon Bay in the future. 】

[The water elementals have cleaned up and stationed the harbor, which is a typhoon shelter for them, and they can return at any time in case of danger. But beware, returning to the port means the end of the trial.]

……

Annan experienced a life-and-death crisis.

Specifically when picking up Elimoas's gold coins, its vertical eyes continued to vibrate, and the undulating pressure made the ghosts and skeletons tremble, as if they were spitting out a breath of dragon breath at any moment.

Fortunately, Annan didn't let outsiders come to the "boudoir" of the blue dragon, but it took him dozens of minutes to load the gold coins into the treasure chest on the cart.

"Remember your promise...... 100 gold coins interest per month. ”

Elimoas lay listlessly on the bare stone mountain as if she were sick, the swinging dragon's tail slapping the gravel into a splash.

"What do you want to eat today? I asked the servant to prepare it. "Annan coaxed the blue dragon who was in a bad mood.

"My Treasure ......"

A low roar shook the air, and Annan took the opportunity to sneak out of the lair.

Ingrid's interior secretary, Annan stood aside and crossed his waist and asked the guards to open the treasure chest on the cart.

"How much is this?"

Ingrid walked out of the mansion while talking to the staff, busy like a city lord.

"About 2,000 gold coins!"

"These gold coins ......" Ingrid was still wondering where she got the money, and Annan waved her hand, "Take it and use it first, I won't ask for it if it's not enough." ”

There are still some collectibles and gems in the blue dragon, but Annan didn't borrow them, because it is not easy to estimate and because it is difficult to return.

"Okay."

The harvest of the banquet plus these gold coins will almost allow Xingyue Bay to maintain its current progress until next year.

Before the treasure chest was moved into the mansion, Ingrid heard about the origin of the money-

Annan pushed the cart out of the Blue Dragon's lair and did not hide his whereabouts, while Xingyue Bay had no secrets...... It didn't take long for the people of Xingyue Bay to spread that the blue dragon had not escaped the fate of being exploited by Annan.

Knowing this, Annan didn't care, and ran to Aunt Susan to ask her to help make a giant apple pie in the shape of a pile of gold coins, and then returned to the Lord's Mansion to inquire about the situation in Eternal Night Harbor.

……

"Seventeen."

Bang –

Smoke erupted from the muzzle of the magic musket, and the nezumi fell twenty yards away.

Dozens of musketeers were scattered in the streets about three hundred meters from the port, neither huddled together nor spread out from each other, maintaining a loose and cohesive formation.

Fermi, who had put down his musket, insisted on loading the new ammunition before rubbing his shoulders, but only touched the cold plate armor.

"You're doing the same thing again?" Relaxed, Srdan picked up his musket and walked towards the nezumi corpse.

"Out of the way."

Fermi didn't like the plates, especially the growing pain in his right shoulder, but he didn't like having his belly cut open by the nezumi's claws, as his sister did......

"Come less, when you come up, Captain Losi also warned you to pay attention to rest."

Srdan lowered his musket, drew a dagger and crouched beside the nezumi, slicing his ears in disgust. Fermi looked at the surrounding houses and alleys and said, "You'd better not think like that. ”

"Why?"

"How many nezumi are there?"

"Thousands!"

"How many of us are there?"

“100…… 600 people. ”

"10,000 rats for 600?"

Srdan stopped: "You want to take the centurion?" ”

The centurion was a bright red blood feat that the soldiers described as killing a hundred nezumi, and Srdan was surprised that Fermi actually thought so.

"Why not? When we go back, we have to replace someone else, just as we have replaced someone else. But as long as you persevere, you have a chance to get the bright red blood merit. ”

Srdan cut off the mouse's ears and turned to walk towards him: "No, Fermi...... Your name doesn't sound like a hero. ”

As the words fell, he saw Fermi suddenly raise his musket at him.

"You...... You are crazy! ”

"Eighteen."

After coldly spitting out a number, Fermi pulled the trigger. Smoke rises, and the eyes of a rat-man crawling out of a ravine explodes.

"It's you who is crazy, don't you want to die for the sake of rat ears?"

Fermi continued to meticulously open the chamber and load the bullets.

Srdan couldn't help but touch his buzzing ears and grinned: "Who let this matter matter to the exploits of our future hero Fermi?" ”

Fermi looked around and saw a squad of musketeers passing by in the distance, waved at them, and then snatched the musket that Srdan was holding and stuffed it into his arms: "Remember, we can kill rat men with muskets, take your weapons!" ”

"The soldier's plate armor still seems to be clean." Sardan held the musket and looked over to Lotsi: "Maybe we'll finish beating the Captain"

"Aren't there rat people in our Star-Moon Bay, ask it to borrow an ear."

……

Aunt Susan and her sisters made the "gold coin pie" that Annan wanted, loaded it into a cart and went to the Blue Dragon's lair.

But Elimayas would rather be corrupted than take a bite, and her listless appearance made Annan's heart ache. To appease it, Annan spent 100 gold coins in exchange for 10,000 silver coins in two taverns and shops in Starmoon Bay.

Before the cart drove into the lair, the blue dragon lying on the rocky mountain raised its head.

Annan grabbed a handful of silver coins and introduced them to Elimoas, "I'll help you decorate your lair." Advantages of silver coins: One, they are money. Two, they're about the same as gold coins, and three, they're also able to make a pleasant rattle. ”

After a while, Annan, who had coaxed Elimoas, had just walked out of the lair, and as soon as he returned to the lord's mansion, he met Rela holding a fire crow with her left hand and running downstairs with her right hand waving a letter paper.

"The eldest sister promised to come!"
