Chapter 122

The footsteps are very urgent.

And clear.

Sean and others looked up at the door and saw a man in a tuxedo walking in quickly. His face was a little flustered, his forehead was full of sweat, and his drooping hair was sticking to his face. The whole person looked very embarrassed. He had maintained the elegance and etiquette of his actions as much as possible, but his face was dirty. There was no way - or at the moment, in the whole city of rofeland, I'm afraid no one could maintain this elegance and calm.

"Excuse me, who is the leader of the team?" As soon as the young man entered the hotel gate, he immediately asked.

His voice was filled with eagerness.

"I am. What's the matter?" Sean said.

"Hello, I'm Sir Paro's housekeeper. Sir, I'd like to invite you to the city master's house for a meeting." The man who claimed to be the housekeeper stood in front of Sean. His attitude seemed very respectful and kept his voice as steady as possible, but the eagerness in his eyes was obvious.

After seeing the food on Sean's table, the housekeeper added politely: "I hope you can take some time to go."

Sean's face showed some doubt and curiosity. If Sir Paro didn't like him to lead the team into town, he would intercept them when they appeared, rather than send someone to find him now. So, finding your own answer at this time is not related to your team entering the city. It must be something you need your own help, and I'm afraid it's still a big task.

At least, there are requirements for the number of teams.

"Is it a commission?" Sean asked tentatively.

"Yes." The housekeeper seemed to have regarded Sean as a mercenary, so he nodded and admitted.

"You go with Cecilia and Fred. I'll stay here with Arnold and the others." William saw Sean's eyes, so he said, "anyway, we won't negotiate. It's no use going. It's better to leave it to you professionals."

So he nodded, but without saying anything more, he left the hotel with the housekeeper and walked towards the city master's house.

The city hall is located on the West Street of the city of Loveland, but there is a big gap with other houses on the West Street, because it is neither luxurious nor covers a large area. It looks like an independent courtyard with three floors high and front and rear gardens, which is very incompatible with the luxury houses on the West Street. If there is not a sign clearly hanging outside the wall of the house, which reads "Chengzhu mansion", no matter who passes by, he will only subconsciously ignore the house.

When Sean entered the city, he saw that many parts of the whole city were actually being re planned, and even some houses in residential areas were demolished and rebuilt. Even the luxury houses on the West Street seemed to have a tendency to be renovated and rebuilt, because Sean did see that many scaffolding had been built, and many people were busy. However, the city Lord's residence alone seemed to have no intention of such a change, not to mention the workers, even the servants did not see it.

The young housekeeper took out a bunch of keys from his body and opened the door himself.

Sean couldn't help thinking, how poor was the city Lord Paro?

The door was opened. Sean noticed a window on the third floor of the house near the left. There were traces of curtain shaking. It was obvious that someone was standing there just now watching something. At this moment, Sean's heart was indeed full of questions, but he knew that even if he asked, the housekeeper of the city master's house could not say any useful information. He might as well wait until he saw Sir Paro.

It's just that the process is faster than Sean thought.

When the housekeeper opened the door, an old man walked down the second floor with a crutch. When he saw this old man who was only about one meter six tall and not much taller than a dwarf, the housekeeper quickly sidled aside so that Sean and others behind him could see the old man more clearly.

"I am Palo, as you can see, the Lord of this city of rofelam." The old man was obviously impatient. His voice seemed a little hoarse. It didn't sound like the original voice, but it became so after an extremely fierce quarrel. However, compared with his hoarse voice, his directness was even more impressive: "I want to entrust you with one thing, but unfortunately, I have no more money to pay. "

Sir Paro's impatience and directness made Sean feel somewhat good. However, this thing can't be used as money. Although he still has millions of money, the money is not much strictly calculated. Therefore, if he has a chance to make money, he will certainly not let go. Even if the mosquito meat is small, it is also meat.

However, what really attracted Sean's attention was the word "entrustment".

For him, these two words mean experience value and strength improvement. Since tinders took the lead, although there have been many wars and small battles, his experience value has not increased. Now, hearing that there is finally a commission, Sean's mood has certainly become very wonderful. However, whether it is to follow the player's thinking or the identity of the head of the mercenary regiment or mercenary regiment, the reward must be sufficient.

"You can rest assured that we will charge according to the entrusted content." Cecilia said, "if the difficulty of entrustment is not particularly great, our fees will not be too expensive. You can rest assured."

Paro glanced at Cecilia and didn't speak, but Sean quickly answered: "I'm Sean, the head of this mercenary regiment. This is Cecilia and Alfred. They are the deputy heads of the team, so what they say can actually represent me. "

Hearing Sean's explanation, sir Paro nodded slightly: "what if you were to save people As you can see, the city of Loveland is in the state of construction and expansion, so there is a special need for materials. Before, I asked my son to contact a caravan to buy materials. Originally, it was very smooth. It should be back today, but I couldn't wait for my son to come back. Only this letter was sent back. "

Sean reached for the envelope, the seal on it had been opened, and it was obvious that the content of the letter had been read, but considering that the letter was taken from Paro's hand, it must be only Sir Paro.

The content of the letter is very clear that Sir Paro's son has been arrested and needs a ransom.

There's nothing else.

Sean handed the letter to Cecilia. Cecilia scanned it and handed it to Alfred. The latter also scanned it and handed it back to Sean. Sean carefully put the letter back in the envelope, handed it back to Sir Paro, and then asked, "so, Lord, do you want me to rescue your son?"

"More than that." Paro said, "there is also a batch of goods missing with my son. These goods are very important to the city of rofeland. I would like you to find them together."

"Lord, with all due respect." Sean frowned slightly and thought it seemed strange, "you can send the city guard out. Simply speaking of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the city guard should be much higher than us."

"This is actually the third thing I want to entrust you." Paro looked helpless.

Seeing such a Palo Lord, Sean simply didn't speak, but chose to listen quietly.

"When I received this letter, it was yesterday, and I sent a guard at the first time, a full 100 light cavalry." Paro's consideration is actually quite correct. "After all, the other party not only took my son, but also a whole team of goods. The action will be slow. Moreover, the delivery position written in this letter is not far from the city of Loveland, so it proves that the other party must be hiding nearby. With the search ability of light cavalry, we should be able to get the news quickly. "

"But the result is completely opposite to what I guessed." Sir Paro's voice became low. "According to the order, no matter what the result, the light cavalry had to come back last night, but there was no response until this morning. I guess this light cavalry probably..."

The latter words didn't speak, but the result was very obvious.

Although the light cavalry force is mostly used for rush aid and investigation on the battlefield, it is still a standard three-level force. If the opponent can completely annihilate even a three-level force, it is enough to show that the opponent's combat effectiveness is not simple. At least it will not be ordinary bandits and mountain bandits. It is likely that the troops of other countries infiltrated into the territory of the Principality of lane in an attempt to cause damage.

Of course, it does not rule out aristocrats who have personal contradictions with the Lords of the danawi.

Because of the national nature of the Principality of lane and the wars and conflicts between nobles, the Archduke has always turned a blind eye as long as the scale is not too big and too many people are not dragged into the water. Most of the Marquis of the whole principality of lane got up by annexing other families, and only a few, like Athena, really relied on themselves through their military achievements and strength.

Thinking of this, Sean's face was somewhat embarrassed: "Lord, I'm afraid we can't be competent for your task My troops are only 200 people, and they can't even be regarded as a regular army. "

"I also know, but now the number of garrison troops in rofeland city is too small. After losing the light cavalry, there are less than 500 people left. I'm worried that if I send them all out, they will loot the town." Paro also knows that his requirements seem to be difficult, but he really has no way. Who makes Sean appear here by chance, "otherwise, you just need to be responsible for the investigation! Once the other party's hiding place is investigated, I will immediately send the garrison out, so that the trouble can be completely eliminated. "

"If that's the case, then there's no problem." Sean nodded. "It's just the reward..."

"Make an offer. But don't be too high. I'm afraid I can't pay, because at present, all the funds in the city have been invested in construction and expansion. "

"In that case, I'd like to ask the city Lord to do me a favor."

"What's up?"

"I want to find a engraver to engrave a magic pattern for my friend. Only in this way can his combat effectiveness be improved and our safety and efficiency be better guaranteed."（ To be continued.
