383 Venue

Two adults and a sleeping child infiltrated the council hall of Port Carant under the protection of invisibility, the country of Faeron is as complex as a sea of stars, and the political system is also diverse, in the area of better public security, the regime is too stable, and the feudal hereditary is quite common, but in the various countries near the two inland seas, the regime changes frequently, and the stable hereditary imperial power is rare, and most of the people who control the local power are some alliances of interests.

This is the case with the council of Calant, this seaport is not very old, it is in such a sensitive area, and of course there are no noble families who can maintain a stable political system, and it is frequented by one pirate gang after another, and the change of regime is like a hurry, and it is not known how many generations it is.

However, they still used the name used by the original Parliament, calling themselves the Merchant Dukes, and the leader was called the Most High Scepter, which emphasized the dispensable legitimacy to some extent.

Most of the ruling class formed by these gangsters are more good at destroying than creating, and more profit-oriented, so there are no scenic spots worth mentioning in the city, there is no dynasty, and naturally there is no place to discuss politics such as the royal palace, and now the harbor is threatened by the Northern Santarin, and the discussion of the rulers takes place in an ordinary mansion.

Several councillors in the hall talked at length about how to fight against the Santarin Society, and although it was close to the Moon Sea, the people here did not have the slightest good opinion of the Santarin Society - this actually had a historical background, because many of the oligarchic warlords who occupied the Han Land were all Moon Sea people who were driven out of their homeland by the Santarin Society.

Of course, spies are not absent, but in the hearts of these people, the traitor who was bought by the Santarin Society has been found and killed by them, so of course there is no problem.

"Our fleet has blocked the exit to the south of the Strait of Rees, and it is not so easy for their fleet to attack it. The man who spoke had a long red beard, a broad figure, looked to be thirty or forty years old, and had a thoughtful expression, although there was no majesty in the dark room, but when he spoke, the people around him listened attentively, and he was obviously a man of considerable authority.

"He is Salario Redbeard, the oldest of the city's surviving councillors, and the dukes' as the 'Most Scepter'. Rekita whispered in Penny's ear, "Also the most steady, the most cautious, if we want to control here, we must first find a way to deal with him." ”

The wizard nodded, stroked his chin, and began to think about how to deal with this guy, but then he sensed a special vigilance, and his heart sank, and through the narrow crack in the wall, he saw a pair of eyes.

These eyes belonged to a young man in armor, this armor was light and close-fitting, not like a battle armor that could go into battle to kill the enemy, the process of leather inlay metal plates, but more like the use of small-scale weapons, the wizard thought about it for a while, and remembered the use of these armors.

Some Assassins who are confident in their martial arts or Ranger Samurai who like to sneak in prefer this style of light armor.

This man's eyes were like lightning, and he was extremely sharp, and the wizard knew that this was most likely the escort of these councillors - as the ruling group of a city-state, it was indeed impossible to say without the protection of a more reliable and powerful person.

This masked man, who was wearing close-fitting light armor and couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, was probably such a strong man.

He frowned, and activated the key to Ihir Aaron to hide the smell and the strangeness of the flow of source power.

In this room, it is not only this masked man with keen senses who has a certain amount of destructive power, two mages with assistants standing outside the hall, and there are also large groups of samurai patrolling inside and outside the hall, if a conflict breaks out, in such a small space, whether it can win is indeed a suspense.

Mages don't always be able to fight, and Penny knows that very well. ...,

Rekita also saw the masked man, her pupils contracted, and she gently patted Yafan in her arms.

The wizard glanced at the sleeping little boy and felt a little helpless, he didn't expect that Rekita would still have to take him with him even when he was doing such a dangerous action.

However, he also understood that with the temperament of this red-robed colleague, it was estimated that he would not feel at ease if Yafan was placed in any other place.

The discussion in the hall continued.

"Resist?Sarario, how long can we resist?" A coquettish-looking middle-aged woman frowned: "One month, three months, half a year?If we are not sure that we will capture Ilfran as soon as possible, then all the sea and land forces waiting for the Moon Sea will be deployed to the north, and the fall here is only a matter of time, Carante's war strength is limited, and if we want to hold this place, we must find allies." ”

"Allies...... you know what our friends in the neighborhood are, and they'd rather give us a ride while we're in a big fight with Tsukimi. A middle-aged man with a cigarette pouch sneered: "The madman who wants to unify the land has never disappeared from this land. ”

"But we have no other choice. The middle-aged woman spread her hands: "The people of the Santarin Society are in the north, our rule has lasted for more than forty years, is it going to end like this......"

"More than 40 years? An old man sitting at the end muttered, "When the previous ruling council was ousted, it was only a little more than twenty years here. ”

Everyone in the room fell silent.

"So I'd suggest tidying up your packages and choosing an escape route. The old man's words silenced those present.

“...... The power that our previous generation worked so hard to build is so easily lost. "One person raised an objection.

"This is the Han Land, the south of the Moon Sea, the north of the Falling Star Sea, the Han Land on the edge of the Dragon Bay. The old man narrowed his eyes and said no more.

Everyone knows what his words mean, and in such a chaotic place, no regime can survive for long.

Even the Santalin Society, whose power spread all over the Moon Sea, and even spread eastward to most of the Northland, had suffered a catastrophe that almost collapsed decades ago, let alone their little shrimps?

"No, we can't give up ...... yet" While the discussion was raging, Salario Akasu knocked on the table: "Just the day before yesterday, I talked to Congressman Dro of Sambia...... If we offer the right price, they should not hesitate to give us some assistance. ”

"Sambia?" the old man raised an eyebrow, "those mercenary merchants?"

"Chambers of commerce, taxes, tribute, submissions, it's no big deal. Salario Redbeard bowed his head: "None of that is worth mentioning compared to the consequences of us losing this place, and more importantly, we all know that we can't stand here with our strength alone, and our neighbors are unreliable." ”

His words silenced everyone in the room again, and they were all quietly thinking about the feasibility of this plan, and it sounded like there was no big problem, and the loss was not too great compared to the possible gains.

In this sensitive region, it is difficult for a regime to last long, and everyone here is well aware of this, Santarim will be eager to expand southward, and the other local forces in Hantu are not good birds, and it is not a bad idea to rely on the power of outsiders.

So after some discussion, everyone agreed on this plan.

"It's okay to accept Sambia's aid, but what will they do?"

"I will send an envoy to the west by boat tomorrow, at most about half a month, there will be a Sambian Navy to come to the aid, they have just finished the war with Ionok, their combat effectiveness is sufficient, plus a group of mercenaries who have fallen into the sea of stars, it is enough to compete with the Santarin Society. Salario slowly said his intentions, and everyone present looked happy. ...,

Penny, on the other hand, looked at Rikita and felt that something was wrong.

The area around the Moon Sea is mostly hilly and mountainous, and the products are barren, although the entry of the Santarin Society has made this place famous, but in essence, the Moon Sea coast is just a barren area with insufficient materials and population, although it can rely on its vast territory to have the strength to oppress the countries of Hantu, Komanso and other countries, but if it is really compared with those powerful countries on the Falling Star Coast, the absolute strength is not much stronger.

Although Sambia's politics are in shambles, no one denies that this country of merchants is one of the most powerful countries on the Falling Star Coast, and if this country is going to go head-to-head with Santarin, it will probably be useless for the Moonsea people to capture the port of Carante.

Penny and Rekita, who had the intention of pleasing the Santarin, naturally had bad intentions towards the city, and when they heard the plans of these dukes, they made a decision at a glance - they must not let these people establish contact with Sambia as they wished.

Otherwise, they didn't come for nothing?

At this moment, Yafan, who was in Likita's arms, opened her eyes, blinked her eyelids twice, looked at her mother, and then at the kind-looking man next to her mother, and then yawned.

Just when Yafan woke up, the wizard noticed that he gave Yafan a smile in the invisible enchantment, and when he saw the little boy yawning, he didn't have any vigilance, the enchantment composed of the supernatural power of the arcane and the key was very tight, and even the voices of the two could be hidden, let alone a little boy yawning?

But it was precisely at this yawn that the masked man, whom Penny had been paying close attention to, suddenly became alert, stared at the place where Penny was hiding, let out a sharp roar, drew the long sword wrapped around his waist, put his foot on the ground, and jumped in the air, and the tip of the sword stabbed at the wall where the wizard was hiding!

"Exposed?" the wizard thought to himself, this sensual creature was the most feared of all the wizards in the hall - he didn't know what this man was capable of, but in Penny's experience, a man with such a keen ear and eyes would not be far off.

Penny's days in Faeron have been for a long time, although he is not very old, but he has a lot of experience, he can be called an old fritter, and at the moment when this man stepped forward, he stopped Rikita, who wanted to take action, because he could see that this sword was not aimed at him.

Because with the sharpness of this sword, it was probably difficult to penetrate even the walls, and this attack was too weak for the two wizards who were peeping behind the walls.

And in the next moment, the masked man's target drew his weapon, and a fierce battle with the masked man began under the wizard's nose, and suddenly a series of blades and human noises entered Penny's ears, and the scene was chaotic.
