Chapter 571

Maowei Town, north of the kingdom of SUS.

Ranger Duncan and several followers walked along the long street paved with bluestone. At the end of the long street was a hotel with a narrow facade. A wooden sign engraved with ears of wheat was nailed to the limestone wall decorated with white sand.

When he came to the hotel door, Duncan took off the fine gold sword hanging around his waist, handed it to a follower around him, and pushed open the heavy thick wooden door with empty hands. His followers dispersed and went into several nearby pubs

Maisui hotel only entertains knights and Rangers, which is quite particular. Rangers are only allowed to bring a personal entourage into the hotel, and the rest of the followers can only rest and have fun in the surrounding pubs. But it's much better than free mercenaries. Those rough and aggressive guys can't even get in and out of the long street freely.

The Ranger approached the bar without opening his mouth. The bartender quickly took out his personal oak wine cup, carefully wiped it with a white towel and asked politely:

"Lord Duncan, or sunoni red fruit wine with roasted lamb legs and cream white bread?"

He is about 13 years old. He is still a teenager. He has gray blue eyes, short blond hair, beautiful and elegant appearance. When he smiles, he shows white and neat teeth. His posture is respectful but not humble, showing good family upbringing.

"I'm not hungry now. Give me a glass of red fruit wine." The Ranger said coldly to the young bartender.

In the Ranger circle of Maowei Town, Duncan has never been close to people. It is said that he has experienced cruel and bloody battles, his heart has become as cold and hard as limestone, and may have been betrayed by his companions, so he easily distrusts others and cooperates well with other Ranger teams.

Rangers may encounter any situation when they are on a mission in the wild. You can't expect other rangers to sacrifice themselves for you. In the face of the danger of annihilation of the whole army, sending a signal of evacuation is even the obligation of cooperation. Duncan's cold face all day shows that he is still a novice.

The Ranger in maisui tavern was soon greeted on his own initiative.

"Hi, Duncan, this way."

With a cup full of sunoni red fruit wine unique to Maowei Town, Duncan went to the only table where people sat, opened his chair and sat down. He sipped the slightly sour and sweet wine, looked around the cold and quiet hall and said expressionless, "there are a few people today."

More than 30 Rangers in Maowei town are used to exchanging information at maisui hotel. Usually at noon, except those Rangers on duty, more than a dozen people can always gather in the hotel, but today, with Duncan, there are only four Knight Rangers in the whole hotel.

A strong Ranger with bronze complexion nuzzled his mouth towards the corner of the hall and said in a low voice, "fakis, none of them have come these two days."

In the corner of the hall, a beautiful young female musician was playing the harp. Sadness enveloped her eyebrows. Her thin and smooth fingers stroked the strings, flowing out a sobbing sad melody.

Duncan took one look and withdrew his eyes. The previous Ranger smiled and pondered, with a trace of contempt and sigh in his tone, and said:

"In ten days, the paladin of the referee will escort a group of exiled nobles in Maowei town to the Eastern League. Jessica and her family are among them, and the other waitresses of the maisui hotel have the same fate... Those guys of fakis usually wipe honey, but now they deliberately hide from them."

The waitresses of maisui hotel are relatives of exiled nobles. For those noble women who have reached the age of 18 and failed to awaken the knight's blood, their relatives will trust their relationship and find a job for them in maisui Hotel, suggesting that they have more contact with Knight Rangers, and it is best to conceive the children of Knight Rangers and bring new hope to the family. But these young ladies still have a beautiful vision for love and hope that Ranger lovers can never abandon themselves. But this often allows them to reap the cruel reality.

If you want to retain a guilty ordinary noble woman, you need to pay at least 8000 gold sol's atonement money to the referee. Most Rangers have a group of followers to support. They are short of money but not women. Moreover, the ultimate goal of the Ranger is to get the recommendation letter from the church and become the vassal of a Lord. If they want to integrate into the family, they must marry the noble daughter designated by the Lord as their wife. If they still have a guilty noble daughter around them, not only his wife is unwilling, the Lord will carefully measure the origin of the guilty noble daughter and her hostile family.

There is also a kind of Ranger, who comes from a famous family, has noble blood and extraordinary strength. He goes out to experience purely because of his longing for adventure life. They don't worry about wealth and status, but these people are often chased by female knights and can't be remembered by sinful women.

The communication between your daughter and the Ranger is what you love and I want. There is no abandonment. Jessica, a female musician, is deeply in love and can't extricate herself. The Rangers can't help her, let alone condemn fakis for his bad behavior.

Everyone is trying to drill into the upper class society. No one is easier than anyone.

A Ranger with a moustache sighed and said, "Duke medin of rainbow city is recruiting a large number of refugees from the Eastern League to serve as tenants in the twilight forest. Why should the referee exile the guilty nobles of the Yellow forest to the Eastern League and let them stay here?"

"Carl, are you kidding?" The bronzed Ranger sneered and asked: "Do you think they are willing to accept the protection of the Lord, abandon the glory of the nobility and become a humble tenant from now on? Moreover, according to the New Testament of light, Duke meting must pay a large amount of atonement to the referee for everyone if he wants to retain the guilty nobility, and also consider how their enemies will react to the family... The guilty person is unwilling to give up his status as a nobility, and the Lord is impossible Spend a lot of money to keep them. They might as well go to the Eastern League. At least they can keep their noble status and don't have to face the jackals in the twilight forest. "

"Oh, by the way. Carl, is it true that there are no monsters in the Eastern League as you said?"

"... there are no monsters, only daunting despair." Ranger Carl was silent for a moment, picked up his glass, drank a mouthful of red wine and said dully: "The boundless devil grass divides every settlement of the eastern alliance into an island. Monsters can't get in and you can't get out. Life is always the same. Wait for the armed caravan to come and ask them to take you away, but it's in vain. Unless the priest's master allows, they will never take you away. They have to pay a large amount of advice to the church and the Lord."

"This is the aristocracy of the Eastern League, and so are ordinary people. The only difference is the price." Carl breathed out a breath of wine and continued, "it takes almost 20 kinshores to bring a man out of the Eastern League. Duke medin recruited more than 20000 people from the Eastern League, and rainbow city spent at least 500000 kinshores."

The Ranger with bronze complexion nodded and said, "ordinary nobles really don't have the ability to cross the devil grass sea..."

"Formal knights can't wear out either." Carl shook his head and said, "devil grass is poisonous, insects are poisonous, mice are poisonous, frogs are poisonous, and most puddles are poisonous... If you can't find food and drinking water, the knight can't go far... What? Natal, do you want to take an adventure in the Eastern League?"

Knight natal laughed twice, took a sip of rum, scratched his head and asked, "I heard that there are not many monsters in the Eastern League. As long as someone develops land there, Borui and Susi will canonize him as the Lord of the kingdom."

"I advise you to give up the idea." Carl shook his head with a bitter smile and explained: "The valuable lands of the eastern alliance have owners. They are either the transportation hub of the caravan or close to the nidam swamp. Those lands that can live but have no value are all goblins. Even if you kill all the goblins, the caravan will not patronize the territory you open up. That is to say, you leave the sanctuary of the church and enter the devil grass sea. It is difficult to get out alive."

Duncan interrupted and asked, "Natal, why do you suddenly want to be a development Lord in the Eastern League? Isn't it good here?"

The Ranger with bronze complexion smiled and said, "I'm old and have no future. I always have to consider for my followers."

The scene was silent for a moment, and the Rangers drank silently. They were all junior trainee knights and had passed their peak. Those potential Knight Rangers received the invitation from the Lord of North Susi, and they had to rely on experience and cunning to support hard in the dusk forest.

At the moment, the sound of Jessica, a female musician, seems desolate in sadness.

Natal drank up the last drop of wine in the glass, held the glass tightly with his calloused right hand and said: "Since the Templar army was transferred from the twilight forest defense line, Duke medin has increased the reward for mercenaries and Rangers, and vigorously solicited knights, Rangers and mercenaries. Now, the reward for a mission is twice as much as before, but this kind of good days will not last long. I heard that the eldest son of Duke Peter of the kingdom of Borui will marry Princess Celine, and Borui's army will be stationed in the twilight forest within two years Line of defense. At that time, we will be useless. Lord suss doesn't recruit us now, and he won't recruit us in the future. They don't see us. The Lords of dodor, Neville, Gambis and Sasan also don't see us... "

He paused, looked at the middle-aged Ranger who had never spoken, and continued: "Simon, I and three other Rangers have agreed to save a sum of money first, and then take my followers to the Eastern League to try their luck... Unfortunately, I can be an aristocrat waiting to die in a small town of the Eastern League with a title on my head, which can be regarded as fulfilling my original dream."

"Hehe, then you will be canonized as princes, dukes and marques by several emperors, and then busy having children all day." Ranger Carl smiled, shook his head and said, "it was not easy for me to sneak out of the Eastern League when I was young. I will never go back. In the future, I will either die in the hands of monsters, or find a small rural Lord to be an instructor or something."

He turned his head and asked, "Duncan, you are still young. A few days ago, the garrison officer of Maowei town talked to you and said he wanted to recruit you into the maiden family. Why is there no news?"

Duncan said coldly, "I refused."

"Eh, why did you give up such a good opportunity? The medin family is a millennium family with a long history. The Duke of medin of this generation is a Royal Highness." Natal asked with wide eyes, curious and unbelievable.

Can I be the same as you ownerless wild dogs? Any of my secret law warriors are better than you... My master is his highness Randall of Gambis kingdom. Can Duke medin compare with my master?

Todd, alias Duncan, sneered in his heart. The expression on his face maintained a consistent rigid alert and said faintly: "my Ranger ranking is too low. I'm afraid of falling victim to the Meiding family. I'm still a Ranger. I'm free and can choose tasks with different risks."

Natal gave a thumbs up and said, "wise decision. How about? Do you want to explore the settlement of the Eastern League with us?"

"Let me refuse." Todd said without hesitation.

Are you kidding? I sneaked out of the Eastern League, too.

Ranger Carl chuckled, held his oak glass and said, "in fact, the medins don't like us, but we still have two opportunities."

"In Hongguo town in the northwest, Godfrey, a famous Ranger, is active. If I'm right, he should be the son of a big family. If we can follow him, there must be a good way out in the future."

Natal nodded: "well, I've heard of his reputation. He likes to take the most dangerous reconnaissance missions. He often goes deep into the dusk forest and can leave every time. But his followers are not so lucky... It's certainly a way out to follow him, but our strength... Carl, what's another opportunity?"

"As far as I know, in two months, his Excellency Raymond Peter of borriepeter's family will visit the kingdom of SUS and meet princess Celine. Then he may go to the twilight forest defense line on behalf of the kingdom of Borrie to conduct a field survey to prepare for Borrie's army to settle in the twilight forest. Maowei town is his must. If we can submit a detailed map of the surrounding forests to him, he may be surprised Yes, allow us to work for the Borui army. "

The map of the Ranger is obviously different from that of the Lord and the church. It is not comprehensive enough, but it is more detailed. King Borui's eldest son personally surveyed the twilight forest line, just to see something different. The Borui people ran to the strange Twilight forest to fight the jackals. They can't be at the mercy of Lord sus and the church. They must have their own ears and eyes. Ranger Carl's so-called presenting a map is actually recommending himself to your excellency Raymond. Although their strength is low, they have rich experience. They are the guides, ears and eyes that Borui people need.

Natal and others were excited and gathered together to discuss in a low voice how to please the eldest son of grand duke Peter.

Todd pretended to be enthusiastic and kept thinking about how to take this opportunity to put a dark son next to Raymond.

At this time, the heavy wooden door of maisui hotel was pushed open, and several people came in one after another, led by Reverend rocky, the resident priest in Maowei town.

"Natal, why the four of you?" Father roach, who was tall and burly with a thick face, interrupted the melody of the harp with a loud voice.

The Rangers dared not neglect and got up one after another. Natal smiled and said, "I don't know what's wrong today, just the four of us. Lord roach, have a task for us?"

Roach, who was born as a combat priest, gave way to one side, showing a priest behind him and proudly introduced: "this is Reverend dimick from the Holy See... My brother."

Dimic is in his forties. He is dressed in a fine linen priest robe and embroidered with four silver lines on his shoulders, marking the identity of a fourth level priest. He can already be a bishop. In addition, he comes from the Holy See. The Rangers stood in awe and saluted.

Carl said first, "Dear Reverend dimick, what can I do for you?"

Dimic said kindly with a smile, "the team of scholars of the silver white tower is going to the dusk forest to collect some animal and plant specimens to increase the knowledge of scholars. They need five experienced Rangers as guides. Are you interested in taking this commission?"

Natal seized the opportunity and respectfully said, "it's our honor to serve Lord dimick."

"Don't get me wrong." Reverend dimick waved his hand and explained, "I'm going to take office in the kingdom of Borui. I'm just passing by the kingdom of sus to visit my brother and take the scholars of the white tower to Maowei town. For specific tasks, you should ask the leader of the scholars."

The young man at the back came forward, saluted and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Paul Randall of the Randall family, the leader of the scholar practice, the disciple of master Edwin."

Randall family? The white tower student of the Randall family?!

The Rangers rushed up and greeted the handsome and elegant young students. At the moment, what famous Ranger Godfrey, what Raymond Lord Peter was left behind by them.

Tao De, whose pseudonym is Duncan, changed his usual indifference and solemnity, showed rare enthusiasm, and secretly made a small move of contacting mercury spy. After their eyes met, they had identified each other.

*****************

At night, on the third floor of maisui Hotel, Todd looked at Paul Randall sent the last Ranger out of the room. After confirming that the Ranger went down to the first floor, he knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Sir Paul, this is some information collected by me. Please have a look."

"Your Excellency Duncan, there are a lot of handwritten materials. Please let me have a look first and then listen to your opinions."

Paul took a stack of sheepskin scrolls in Todd's hand, closed the door, greeted Todd into the study, flipped the scrolls and said with his lips:

"Lord Barol is my spy mentor, Lord Nelson is my adoptive father, and his highness Randall is my master."

Todd's pupils contracted and widened, and said silently, "the master asked me to come back to him in four months, whether I finish the task of inserting cases or not. Are you here to replace me?"

Paul wriggled his lips and replied: "No, I'm here to help you... I'd rather be a scholar than a spy. The master promised me that I have nothing to do with mercury at the end of this mission. As for your future in mercury, I can't talk to you... Lord Todd, the master specially told me that you have lit the fire of your heart, and your safety is higher than this mission itself."

Todd put his heart down and said, "you can rest assured. The master also told me to ensure the confidentiality and safety of the helper."

Paul smiled and turned over the scroll of sheep's clothing. He said: "the mission has a new content, and try to put in a line of sight for the eastern alliance and cultivate forces. It seems that this is not a difficult thing. There are several rangers who want to go to the Eastern Union to develop settlements."

"I sent someone to induce them." Todd nodded, frowned and asked, "but I can't do anything about Raymond Peter's action."

"My Lord, that's because you don't know enough information." Paul continued, "Godfrey, the famous Ranger active in the dusk forest, is actually the blood of the August family and the eldest grandson of the Ludwig palace."

Todd thought for a moment and asked, "then."

"Raymond Peter assassinated his fiancee Shirley, but he didn't get the punishment he deserved. He had been unable to get rid of his resentment, so he left the Ludwig family, pseudonym Godfrey, and became a Ranger. He may want to cure his own heart disease by abandoning his family identity... The little boy of the Peter family killed his beloved woman as the straight child of the Ludwig family He is a descendant, but he can't get justice for his fiancee. His family identity has brought him an indelible disgrace. How can he adhere to his knight road? It seems that he won't return to the Ludwig family if he doesn't set up a new road. "

Todd's eyes lit up gradually and said, "do you want to induce Godfrey to assassinate Raymond, and then design to find someone to rescue Raymond in exchange for his trust... What about the dark son candidate?"

Paul bent his mouth and said, "it's also your old acquaintance... The former Sheriff of Dengshi and the exiled Knight of the dweimick family, vamon."

"Vammon? Hehe, he is really a good candidate." Todd smiled silently, frowned again and asked, "what if Godfrey really killed Raymond?"

Paul smiled gracefully, his eyes were cold, and said, "then kill him... Peter's little boy once sent someone to assassinate master Randall."

Todd lowered his head and pulled a cruel crack from the corner of his mouth, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth.

"I see... I'll do my best."
