The three of them were startled, and quickly turned their heads, only to see Rickett walking towards him. Seeing Lutz's unkind face, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I have something I want to say to Raymond, I heard what you just said when I walked here, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop." ”

As he spoke, he exclaimed, "But that's a good thing to say." Unlike us humans, many people are keen to pursue these three things, but they have to find many high-sounding reasons. ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to hear the conversation about Raymond's identity, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Raymond said, "What are you looking for me?"

"I know a place full of opportunities, and since Dinar can't stay any longer, do you want to try your luck there?"

"Where?" Raymond was stunned.

Rickett said in a deep voice, "Have you heard of the continent of Veronica?"

"Veronica?" Raymond muttered, suddenly remembering that he had heard the merchants mention it in the tavern of Plzak.

Rikki nodded and said, "That's right, the continent of Veronica is outside the coast west of Mordina, but it's not as far away as we think, and many ports have contacts with the people of that continent. ”

"The important thing is that the situation on that continent has always been unstable, and for those who have a heart, it is a place full of opportunities, it just depends on whether anyone has the courage to do so. ”

"Overseas?" was Raymond's surprise, he had never thought of going so far when he had left the Northern Wastelands.

Seeing this, Rikit suddenly added: "There is no country like the Orc Empire on that continent, so humans and orcs are not like here, and there is an indissoluble hatred. A lot of orcs over there are mixed with humans, and your buddies might be treated better when they go there. ”

Hearing this, Raymond's heart couldn't help but move.

At this time, Lutz said, "Why did you come to tell us this?"

Rickett spread his hands: "Because I don't want to die." Originally, I was just entrusted by the city lord to escort Saoirse out of Praza, but I didn't know that I was inexplicably involved in this kind of thing, which is unlucky, right?"

As he spoke, his voice suddenly turned low: "Moreover, after this incident, I have been very disappointed in this country, in the king, and in those nobles. So since you can't stay here, let's go to another place and start over. ”

"That's why I'm here to test your attitude. Because... Hey, I think you're a great person, so it's probably a good choice to follow you. Rickett said embarrassedly.

"That's what I mean. At this moment, a gloomy voice came.

"Is that you?" everyone was taken aback when they saw someone coming.

It was Freddy.

"What do you mean by what you just said, you mean that you have the same intention?" Rikitt couldn't help but say.

As if he thought his words were ridiculous, Freddie snorted, "You don't think I'll be safe, do you?" I said a long time ago that I cherish my little life, but I don't plan to stay here and die. ”

"You want to go to Veronica too?"

Freddie said as a matter of course: "Why not? ”

"Meow, I don't want to think about who caused us to get to where we are today, what qualifications do you have to say that. Baste said angrily.

Freddie ignored him, but turned to Raymond and said in a deep voice: "That kid is the assistant of the city lord, and his internal affairs talent should be good." As for me, the only thing I can be proud of is this head. ”

"I think whatever you want to do, I'll help you. How, do you want to think about whether you are clinging to senseless hatred, or try to see if you can accept me?"

"Young master, don't listen to his rhetoric..."

Raymond waved his hand to silence Bath, and he looked at Freddy, "You seem to be very confident." ”

Freddie said proudly: "What do you think I relied on to climb to today's position?" ”

"But how do you know I'm going to Veronica?"

"Do you have a reason to stay in Dinar?"

“...... No. ”

"Do you want to stay here and sit still?"

“...... No. ”

"So, the world is so big, where can't you go?"

"Since you're leaving, stay as far away as possible, and never come back...", Armada's request rang in Raymond's head.

"Okay. Raymond nodded.

"Young master, you're not serious, are you?" Catwoman couldn't believe her ears.

Raymond replied so happily that Freddie was a little surprised. He said in a gloomy voice, "Although I have joined you, you must remember that I will do everything possible to seek power wherever I can, and I will never hide it. ”

"I will follow you, but if you don't meet my expectations and give me what I want, I will get rid of you immediately, and even use you as a stepping stone in turn. Got it?"

"Okay, then let's try it. Raymond said calmly.

"Very well, then, I, Freddy, swear allegiance to you. Freddie took off his hat and bowed deeply to Raymond.

After straightening up, he said to Raymond, "Then, as proof of my allegiance to you, I will find some more men for you." ”

"Who?" asked Raymond......

"Harlot, and his men. Now they are probably bothered by the fact that they have nowhere to go. Freddie said, walking down the hill, "I'll get them to follow you in just a few words." ”

"Hey, that's a gang of robbers. Rickett couldn't help but remind.

"So what?" Freddie glanced back at him, "so brave and ruthless, and unconcerned, as long as you use it properly, is there a better soldier than this?"

"Also, Saoirse has a gift from Veruk to Lord Kaveh this time, and I can try to get it for you. I guess you don't want to go over there for nothing. ”

With these words, Freddy's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

On the hillside, everyone looked at each other, and a thought came to their hearts at the same time: This guy is really not a fuel-efficient lamp...*****************************************************************************************************************************************************

Vio, located on the border between the Kingdom of Dinar and the Magic Kingdom of Bamq, is half of Dinar, but is actually under the jurisdiction of Bamq.

This is the largest port in the nearby sea, and it is bustling with people on the streets, and the shops sell rare goods from all over the world. The towering masts of the ships moored at the pier resemble a forest.

Here, many of the ships had a trade route between Mordina and Veronica. So to take a boat to the mainland of Veronica, this is the most convenient place.

At this moment, in a tavern in Vio, the door was pushed open.

"Who can carry us out to sea?"

With this shout, there was a moment of silence in the tavern, and everyone turned their heads in unison to look at Raymond and Rickett standing in the doorway. But the next moment, they were back to their business, and the laughter and noise filled the space again.

This was the fourth tavern that Raymond and Rickett had been looking for, but when everyone heard that they were going to Veronica, they all shook their heads and refused.

And the reason is almost the same: "This season is when Daddy Kure's activities are frequent, and going to sea is tantamount to looking for death." ”

It is said that this man named Kuray is the largest pirate leader in the nearby seas, and his power covers almost all the routes between the continents of Mordina and Veronica. Because his sphere of influence was too large, he would choose a certain sea area to plunder merchant ships at different times, and at this time, he coincidentally chose the nearby sea area, so that the entire Port Viou was depressed, and the port was full of ships that did not dare to set sail.

Raymond and the others left Kavey and finally came to Vio, but when this happened, everyone sighed and was unlucky. They had no choice but to disperse, inquiring from tavern to tavern, hoping to find a ship that dared to sail.

Just when the two of them thought they would return in vain, suddenly, in the corner of the tavern, a man with a rough face, only one eye, and a dirty captain's hat beckoned to them.

Raymond and Rickett walked over: "Can you sail?"

"Hey, boy, you're out of town, don't you know it's time for Daddy Kurey to prey?" the man said as he took a long sip of absinthe and stared at the two drunkenly.

"Everybody says that, but we have a reason to go to sea. Rickett said.

"Oh, what's that? ”

"Sorry, it's our business. If you don't have the guts to go to sea, then goodbye. Rickett said displeased.

The man burst out laughing, "Just kidding, I'm not interested in your business at all." But you're lucky, I happen to have to go to the sea for something, and of course I don't mind taking a few passengers. It's just..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of counting the gold coins: "Do you have enough of this?"

Raymond took out a gem and placed it on the table, which was exactly what Freddie had gotten from Saoirsa. At the sight of the gem, the man's only eye immediately widened.

"We have about 100 people, is it enough?"

"100 people? That's less. The man slurred his words, but anyone could see that he had almost swallowed the gem.

"What I'm talking about is, is it enough as a deposit?"

The man took a sharp breath and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course." ”

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the gem, but Raymond took it back first: "I'm sorry, I want to see your ship first." ”

"Oh... yes, I'm supposed to show you my ship. The man stood up and walked out of the tavern: "Here, follow me." ”

Raymond and Rickett followed him towards the port, and the man was so drunk that he staggered all the way, but he didn't fall, but left a foul smell of alcohol along the way.

It was not surprising to the two of them, they had seen countless drunken sailors and captains in the two days they had been in Vio.
