In the dark room, the exquisite magic crystal lamp shed bright light. An old figure sat behind the heavy desk, with several pieces of parchment scattered on the desktop, which seemed to have just been opened.
"The lake water in the north of the Kingdom has not become more turbid. It seems that some seasoning needs to be added." the old man stroked his gray hair on his temples, his wrinkled face showed a trace of coldness, and his right hand unconsciously rubbed the parchment in his hand.
The sound of the door rang, and the boss John of the oak tavern entered the room. The seemingly slow pace came quietly to the old figure in the blink of an eye.
"Old Jack, did that find our identity?"
"No, he didn't find it. He came to the oak tavern just to confirm some things, such as our strength? If we were too weak, I don't think he would mind swallowing us." under the magic crystal lamp, the old figure raised his head, impressively old Jack's face, but his smile had disappeared, and now what remains is cold and indifference.
"However, after this mutual temptation, we should pay attention to ourselves. Don't forget our identity. All the forces we now have are too conspicuous." old Jack knocked on the table quietly and said in a deliberate tone. "If the reckless behavior of modrian's subordinates had not reminded us, a peaceful and comfortable life would almost devour our vigilance."
"What should we do now?" the turbidity in old John's eyes faded, and the bright magic light was reflected in his wavy pupils.
When the silent atmosphere came, old Jack rolled up the parchment on the table and thought silently. Old John, who has known each other for decades, did not disturb old Jack's thoughts at the moment.
"Sacrifice, cut off the extra parts! Since some of the situation has been exposed, then continue to play. The forces on the surface are still tangled with Captain Cooper, and all the other dark forces are lurking." old Jack decided decisively, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his old wrinkled face.
"Then he began to gradually give up the overt forces, leaving only the oak tavern as a transfer of intelligence. As for the manpower, all those who failed to pass the test were abandoned and none remained."
"OK, I'll arrange it right away." old John nodded without hesitation, then left the room and decided to implement it immediately. Now they are very happy with Captain Cooper. Almost all the underground forces in irvindale town have been swallowed up by two families.
Put the rolled parchment in the magic lamp. Old Jack watched it burn into a pile of ashes. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the palms full of brown age spots. There were ripples in his calm eyes.
"Eighteen years and ninety-five days, I have been in Stoke kingdom for so long. When will it end? Is it still far away?" old Jack looked down at the drawer of the desk and slowly opened it with his right hand, as if there were something very precious in it.
A dark blue pin like an eagle lies quietly inside. Its shape is lifelike, just like flying in the sky. When you look carefully, a line of small characters are carefully carved on the eagle's body.
Eilanfaro Empire, Mio, Jack Collins!
"Have we become the deserters of war? But the message left was not like this! Why did it become so..." echoed gently in the dark room with a helpless and sad whisper.
"I miss my hometown. The snow orchids all over the mountains often appear in my dream. I really want to go back and have a look!"
......................
The night is like water, the stars are inlaid in the dark sky, the bright moon is hazy, and the snow-white moonlight is just integrated into the cold environment in winter.
At the moment, the city of edalas, which stands between the high mountains, is brightly lit, just like a city that never sleeps. The crowded flow of people and the noisy noise bring rich night life to this golden intersection.
The bright magic light shines on the bustling streets. Modrian sighs thousands of times. When he comes to edalas again, his heart has to be convinced by the scene here. It is no less than the modern city of the earth in previous generations, and even far beyond some conveniences.
When the town of irvindale fell behind, modrian turned to edalas. As for the hostility of the oak pub, it was not easy for him to make too many enemies in his current situation. He ordered Cooper to stop expanding underground forces and secretly observe any action of the guard oak pub.
Once again, modrian looked up at the sign of the eye blue strawberry Hotel, and then walked in with Gregory and the noxas expeditionary cavalry.
Perhaps thanks to luck, modrian booked a familiar room for his last stay, or maybe the hotel preferred a simple green house style and was not welcomed by the people in the north of the kingdom. In short, they checked in smoothly.
At the balcony of the room, modrian sipped tea, looked at the city of edalas under the night, and recalled that when he first came here, he was uneasy and passionate about the strange town of ewendell, and he was full of confidence in himself, as if he could do nothing.
However, after experiencing the experience of renwal mountains, he knew his state of mind. There were countless unknown things in the world. He should always be in awe of it, understand the degree of advance and retreat, and he didn't want to repeat the feeling of death.
Dong Dong!
"Master modrian, Dodd cook has come to see you!" there was a knock at the door, and plain words came into the room.
Dodd cook? Modrian did not find relevant acquaintances and friends in his memory. He opened the door with doubt and looked at the ordinary looking man in front of him. He was wearing a black tuxedo, white gloves on his hands, a smile on his gentle face, and was nodding slightly to him.
"Dodd cook, housekeeper of the garrison mansion, Lord Benny told me to come and invite you to dinner," Dodd cook bowed.
Modrian raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Uncle Benny's action to be fast. Shortly after staying in the blue strawberry Hotel, he directly arranged for the housekeeper to invite him to meet.
"Wait a minute, housekeeper Dodd. I think Uncle Benny doesn't mind if I bring another friend over?" said modrian shyly, rubbing his short broken blond hair.
Steward Dodd was stunned when he heard the speech, and then his good manners showed no doubt. With a smile, he said, "of course, Lord Benny is very hospitable."
Outside the blue strawberry Hotel, a luxurious and elegant carriage is parked in the middle of the road. The lower right corner of the carriage wrapped in exquisite silk is engraved with signs around intertwined green branches, which is a symbol of the noble's coat of arms.
Modrian and Gregory boarded the carriage under the guidance of steward Dodd. He quietly looked at the gold and silver decoration in the carriage, and his white face showed a thoughtful look.
His uncle, Benny izz, was not only a garrison officer in edalas, but also a powerful Baron and territorial aristocrat. The fief was a trading town named after him in the south of Yinsong Province, under which there was an elite Archer famous in the north of the kingdom.
Therefore, the words once promised by Uncle Benny have considerable persuasion. Modrian is not allowed to be attacked within the city of edalas. This is the influence of the real aristocracy, especially an aristocrat who has been promoted by merit.
