The chairman of the United Chamber of Commerce and the son of the Grand Duke, the man who owned almost half of the city returned safely spread throughout the city at the speed of sound. Amidst the shock caused by this shocking news, a man who was also lucky enough to return from the barbaric country The misfortune of the businessman who fell and drowned just a block away from his home quickly subsided like the splash he made.The fact that the United Chamber of Commerce intervened in other countries' wars is not a secret in this city. Although no reliable news has come out yet, just that he can return safely with the rest of the people is enough for people to talk about it.Some people also pay attention to the group of foreign travelers who "accidentally" traveled with members of the chamber of commerce. People with discerning eyes can easily spot the unusual things in them, but these young people have no intention of covering it up.

They are young and strong, all possessing skills. They met with members of the Chamber of Commerce halfway, and then were invited to escort them all the way back to their homeland. Now they live here to find materials and business opportunities for the family behind them. This is after several trials. News from the family.This is far from enough, but it is difficult for them to get more, because the reasons put on the table by those seemingly innocent young people have already reasonably explained the protection given to them by the Grand Duke's Son.Except for this protection, these young people who are curious about many commonplace things receive no compensation. In this city, their choices are not stupid. For foreigners, or for almost everyone, life is All the most important.

And they seem to be, as they said, not interested in the power structure and team struggle inside the city. They go out from the small broken hotel where they live every day, and what they do is to walk through the streets step by step to inquire Record the prices of various goods and services. If they intentionally or unintentionally come into contact with some transactions that are not suitable for fair and above board, they will also quickly move out of their backstage, expressing their good intentions to never get involved.Their behavior is not particularly weird, but it also makes some people who are in a panic when they are idle. These people always go out at a fixed time, eat at a fixed time, and go to the tavern to drink at a fixed time. From the bartender to the down-and-out Travelers, from prostitutes soliciting business to city defense soldiers resting, chat with anyone who can sit down and listen patiently to all the true and false stories.Because they drink a lot, and the most important thing is that they don't treat money as money. There are always people who are willing to deal with them. In just two or three days, their reputation spread, and some idlers even found them specially. In the tavern where I was, I exchanged a bunch of nonsense for a glass of bad wine.

These behaviors are almost no different from spies. They collect all kinds of news with their ears, but keep silent about their own origins—to be precise, they said it, but it was just regarded as another magical fantasy story by the rest of the people. Their travel experiences are authentic and can be verified in various ways—for example, those merchants who came back alive from the Orc Empire.But it's hard to hide, or what these businessmen don't really want to hide is that they are very afraid of these dozen people. They should know the real origins of these foreigners, but they can't reveal the slightest for various reasons—anyone who wants to speak All the people must first obtain the permission of Lord Coulson, otherwise what happened to them, I am afraid that it is not just an accident like "falling into the water".

After all, everyone who should know the news that Viscount Paris accidentally choked to death on a chicken bone in Zidan Castle knew it too.In fact, this piece of news affected the city far more than Lord Colson himself.As the only younger brother of that peerless beauty, Viscount Paris is not only outstanding in appearance, personable, and knowledgeable, but also deeply trusted by the Grand Duke. Assisting the Grand Duke in dealing with complicated official affairs, coordinating the relationship between all parties, and making the city run well-meaning that he has a little desire for power, and he has obtained a lot of things with connivance.

Many people have speculated whether the Grand Duke is terminally ill, or just out of his mind, like many of his performances outside of the military, or whether his wife and brother cast some spell on him, the last one is the most likely, and Lord Colson, as the only orthodox heir of the Grand Duke, with only a weak young son, was able to endure this kind of scene, and even behaved inferior to the other party on many occasions. I am afraid that there is some great reason for that name Career masters.

And now Viscount Paris is dead.

In a more secret message, on the day of the accident, a carpet stained with a lot of blood was cleaned out from the castle, and many important people in the city were disturbed by this. Wealth was embezzled from the Chamber of Commerce's coffers, some promises were made to many people, and now everything came to an abrupt end.Soon other rumors spread that some members of the Coddor family were so happy at the banquet to welcome the return of His Excellency the Lord that they were so happy that they inhaled too much smoke from Calella leaves and became insane, and were sent home. He died of convulsions in his sleep for several days.

Although these wastes are worthless in themselves, their ability to waste food and wealth in the world well before that is another credible proof that the Grand Duke of Zidan is old and fatuous.So, they died in such an unseemly way, and the Grand Duke's castle quickly sent people to recover some of the "escrowed" assets. Does it mean that all the previous things were just illusions of conspiracy?

"Some prices have fluctuated," Rowley said, "most obviously in weapons and food."

Opposite him is the captain of this trip. With his thin figure, he is often ignored by others in the team. For what they are doing, it is not a bad phenomenon.Unlike in the tribes of the Orc Empire, any free human is eye-catching. The captain's accent and so-called "temperament" are not very conspicuous among many outsiders, especially compared with other members.

"It's mainly due to personnel changes." The captain said, "If there is no major bloodshed within a month, it means that Mr. Koduo has stabilized the situation."

They were sitting in a corner of the tavern, surrounded by the noises of the drinkers, a group of newly arrived merchants were chatting and laughing loudly with the intermediary, boasting of what they had seen on the road, and now when it came to camping in a valley, A story about fighting a terrifying snake as thick as a human waist that appeared in the middle of the night.Thanks to Mr. Coulson Anak Coddor's sharing of almost everything along the way, the members of the team can probably hear that this is a code word describing the status of the goods and the price.

They themselves don't need to use code words, except for those who come out of them, there is probably no one in this world who understands their language.Just because talking about things in a hotel will undoubtedly be overheard, knowing that someone is clinging to the next door and blowing into a worm hole in the wall can cause some tense movements... It's embarrassingly embarrassing , the noisy environment is more comfortable.

"Is he going to kill his own father too?" Hill asked another member.

The captain glanced at him, "No."

The member scratched his face, knowing he had asked a not-so-intelligent question.

"If he takes power, will we be in trouble?" asked Rowley.

"Although he once made a promise, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not change their minds." The captain said, "Credit is guaranteed by force. If the worst happens, it will definitely be difficult for us to stay in the castle." people, but we shouldn't have too much trouble getting away if we have enough information. And that information is what we're gathering."

Hill opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again.Why did Colson Anak Curdo want to deal with them? You don't need to look for the answer, it's right in front of you.These people were never the traveling companions of the noble merchant, in fact, they were escorts in a less strict sense.Most people find it difficult to bear this. Even though that Mr. Coddle stayed well in the colony, he extended the release of his group for a month and took care of each other on the way, but no one can say This is the basis of mutual trust, and out of prudence for human nature, it is best to start preparing for the worst.

"There are only eight of us, and it will take at least three months to complete the investigation," Rowley said.

"We have already borrowed part of that gentleman's strength. In addition, we have benefited a lot from his advice along the way. These help are not fake." The captain said, "This noble businessman has paid so much for us, and at the same time refer to him What he did a long time ago, regarding his purpose, actually has a greater possibility."

The other players all looked at him.

"Regardless of feelings, if we only talk about value, the role of our lives must be much greater." The captain said, "If he is still a noble merchant, we can become a bridge for trade, but he has already revealed the idea of ​​​​taking power , and has done something about it, and the achievements of the magician also have an impact on him. We were selected and traveled long distances to come here because we have a certain ability to learn and cope with changes. We are the magicians themselves. Representative, because most of our abilities come from the cultivation of the magician... He may not be able to get the specific technology from us to promote the changes in the Sacher area, but he can inquire about how we prepare plans, allocate materials, organize manpower, and effectively to achieve various goals.”

The captain shook the cloudy liquid in the glass, "He will be interested in this."

"His chamber of commerce is very rich, and it doesn't seem difficult for him to get power." Hill has always been liked by other players because he can always ask questions that others are embarrassed to ask directly. 'If you want to share a little benefit, you have to exchange someone else's life. Since he was allowed to stay for one more month, he should know that no one else can go our way except the magician, right?"

The captain looked at him.

"Except for the magician..." the captain said almost casually, "except for the magician, no one can walk this road, and there is no other way to achieve a similar goal. This is what 'others' told us, but in fact , the theory didn't really take root in our heads."

A moment of silence.

Hill looked at him in disbelief, as if the captain had transformed into another creature right in front of him, and the expressions of the others were similar, though they were more confused.

The captain sighed.

Even though he had done a little targeted training before departure, he had memorized a manual written by an experienced person who took the time out of his busy work, and even Mr. Coulson made various suggestions for his actions along the way, but the young man The most important thing is that they have taken everything created by the magician for them to be correct, so that they are cautious and observe the various scenes in this city in front of them. Consciously or unconsciously Consciously with a certain attitude of being out of place.

Therefore, even though they lived in a dilapidated hotel, other people's expressions, tone, and even address, showed their opinion of them—this group of ignorant young masters.This gave them a certain degree of convenience. Among the people they could get in touch with, there were not many people who deliberately opposed them.But that's actually not a good thing.

"We have gone through such a long journey, far away from our homes, if we just stay in a strange city for three months, get some data, make a survey report, and attach a map, the magician will also be sure Our work." The captain said, "But this is not enough, it can't prove anything, our homeland—our city is changing every day, our former classmates and colleagues are also changing, we are now fighting for power and profit. There will be no fundamental changes for many people, even if there is no danger, what we have to spend here is very precious time."

He looked at the other players and said slowly, "We're going to make the time more valuable."

Coulson did not invite these strangers to the castle until one and a half months later.

The city has stabilized, and the authority of the Grand Duke has not been damaged in any way, but many people—almost everyone now knows that the authority of the Grand Duke is indeed unshakable, and at the same time cannot be easily used, so one should answer the "trivial questions" All represented by his dear son.Life hasn't changed much. There are so many people in this world, but there are always so few places where people can sit. Everyone has already been familiar with the rules, and they will not feel uncomfortable at all.

They met on one of the castle's terraces, with an unobstructed view, and the squires were all silent, tall men who looked almost straight out of a barracks.The remaining seven team members stayed in the inner hall, accompanied by the mage with different pupils. As a good friend of Coulson, the mage has been under a bit of pressure recently, and getting along with these young people will make him feel better.

"Only here, what you see can barely be called a view." Coulson said, "Please sit down. Do you have a favorite drink?"

"Give me a glass of juice, please," said the captain.

A servant came up and poured him a glass of juice.

"You and I have been waiting for this day." Coulson looked at the captain and said, "I hope you didn't make you wait too long."

The captain smiled at him, raised his glass, and said, "We can only start from a very low position."

"But you're going to rise fast," Coulson said, "with my support."

"If we can show the value that you value, it's a matter of course." The captain said, "You should also choose someone to cooperate with us?"

"Hopefully you can put up with their stupidity when the time comes," Coulson said.

"Learning is mutual." The captain said, "Before we go out, the magician expects us to learn more things. We are very grateful for the opportunity provided by Your Excellency."

Coulson gave him a long look, then smiled, "I trust my vision, just like I trust your magician."

He knew this man, and before he left the country full of steel and glass (he was already familiar with some local vocabulary), he already had a certain degree of understanding of the identity and experience of his companions, and Weiers let him know that the information was obviously not Because of the fellowship, although most of the young people in this team are basically ordinary outstanding young people-full of curiosity about the outside world, but they start to miss home after a long journey, have endurance and excellent action ability, and obey authority He didn't lose his own ideas, but the man at the core of the team was this young man of a different race who was neither strong nor dark in front of him. He was one of the few "offensive" talents who were indirectly taught by that magician. one.

After the Musa meeting, this man traveled all the covenant tribes. Unlike the werewolves who were just doing routine work, after he walked around, he knew more about the situation of these tribes than some tribe orcs themselves, and it took only three months.This is a terrifying ability.Just as having power leads to wanting to use it, having intelligence itself naturally leads to wanting to affect reality.

Coulson felt that the magician's awe-inspiring power is also reflected in this. Behind the many real miracles that can be touched, it seems that any ordinary person will be induced to have some special talents as long as he comes into contact with it, and consciously Grow it.Even if this talent manifests itself as an ambition that cannot be underestimated, that magician will point out a direction for the other party.He had already guessed when he communicated with the captain on the road, and now seeing the other party's calm attitude, it was obvious that their actions were also acquiesced by that adult.

Also as he wanted.

Coulson waved towards the corner, a boy came out, Coulson took his hand and said to the captain, "He will be with you too."

The captain looked at the child for a while before saying, "I will do my best."

When leaving the castle, one of the heirs to the Grand Duke of Zidan did not look back. He behaved silently and quietly on the road. When the captain spoke to him, he appropriately showed a listening attitude. The captain did not give any advice. Instead, he patiently and methodically explained to him where they were going and what they were going to do.Then the boy finally spoke when a team member handed him candy.

"Teacher, where are you from?" he asked.

"Far away," said the captain, "there is a city of dreams and people who mean a lot to all of us."

In the strange eyes of the boy, he looked out of the window, half of the castle was exposed behind the dome of the hill, the wind was blowing through the bushes, and the light gray clouds blocked the sun.But what his eyes are looking at is not the scenery in front of him, the end of his sight is in the distance, in a place as far away as the other end of the world, where the autumn is dyed all over the land.
