Chapter 250 Chapter 26.4-B: Secret agents and killing people out of thin air

·

You decide to go to the camp to inspect the work of the three management agencies.

The composition of the inspection team is as usual: Hathaway, Annette, and Elizabeth follow you towards the adventurer dormitory.

The housekeeper hurried over to salute you when she saw you. Her expression seemed to have something to say, which may have something to do with the two skinny elf girls behind her.

"President, I dare to make this request to you..." The dormitory manager looked at the two compatriots behind him, "Hire them to work here as well."

Hathaway sneered.

The dormitory manager quickly explained: "Wuxiang Bay has been rescued by law enforcement teams many times, and many elven slaves have been registered. The bad guys did not dare to attack casually but were unwilling to give up easily, so they adopted despicable methods to force them to They... took the initiative to go back and become slaves."

"Viscount Boltz found many excuses to prevent officially rescued slaves from leaving the town, and drove them into relatively poor civilian areas. They secretly oppressed us and left us with no food or clothing. In order to survive, some compatriots had no choice but to return again. To work in a black shop...I was forced to do it sooner or later, and there was no other way out."

"These two are the sisters I selected who are in good health and are very well-behaved and capable. They will definitely work hard. If they make mistakes, please punish me too!"

Now that we have a lot of money, for such a trivial matter as hiring two peripheral employees, wouldn’t we just ask Hathaway directly?

Hathaway remained silent.

In fact, the dormitory manager has already approached Hathaway once, but the latter was noncommittal, so he dared to approach you directly. The dormitory building behind the Adventurer's Guild now houses not only adventurers, but also private soldiers. Because it is not advisable to rent a house elsewhere within the scope of Raymond's protection, the population is increasing, and the workload of the dormitory administrator has also increased. It is normal to hire two more people to manage the dormitory. There is no need to ask you for instructions, right?

Hathaway didn't say yes or no, she just waited for you to show her.

Why don't you agree?

Although I don’t know what Hathaway is worried about, since she didn’t pay attention, it means it’s not a big deal. You nodded in approval, and the three elf girls thanked her again and again and were filled with joy... It’s just that they found a low-paying job, so what?

Standing in front of the teleportation circle, with no one around, Hathaway explained that there were other reasons besides not wanting to raise too many people.

"Hiring people, using money, no matter how small it is, it's a big deal. I shouldn't be good at it, I need to ask for your instructions." Hathaway turned her head and looked somewhere in the distance, "One more thing - the president's approval and the secretary's approval , with different meanings. Do you still remember the vision you promised? Now one of the three: the temple power has been restored to its former glory in full swing. It is renovating and recruiting, and the large number of accumulated patients and beggars has also been reduced a lot. Therefore, the other one promised to "rebuild The prospect of "Elf Homeland" has become worth looking forward to, and is no longer an empty talk."

Before you knew it, your three promises had been spread. The effect was not only to boost the morale of the private soldiers of Jiange, but also to attract many scattered elves.

Every act of protection and charity you do towards the elves will attract more of the same race like a snowball. There are a large number of elves in Wuxiang Bay. If most of them join, it will not be a small number. Hathaway approves. It has a very different meaning than your personal approval.

"As for the adventurer private soldiers..."

Just as Hathaway was mid-sentence, the private adventurers happened to come out of the teleportation circle and met you head-on.

The six people bowed neatly and deeply: "Good morning, sir!"

From the outside, he looks quite like an adventurer, but in reality, his walking style is full of military style, and he was trained by two instructors to be very disciplined.

Upon request, the leading soldier briefly reported to you the recent situation: "Reporting to your lord, the six of us have never slacked off under the guidance of two instructors from beginning to end. When we reached level 3, we tried to hunt gobs in the suburbs of the maze camp. Lin, one of the instructors followed us throughout the process, just in case; starting from about level 4, we entered the dungeon without an instructor, explored carefully, went in and out at sundown, and returned at sunset. Although there were several times where the situation was very dangerous, we finally managed to He came back alive."

"We just came back from the dungeon and are about to use the identification crystal. It is estimated that it has reached level 6."

Although Jiange's morale is high and the training effect is remarkable, the nurses were devout believers in the God of Life before they were hired. They practice with a large number of patients every day. They are all around level 4. The reason why the progress gap between the adventurers' private soldiers and the other two teams is So big, because the former was frequently thrown into desperate situations of life and death, and nothing can gain faster than actual survival combat. It is really hard to see that those two kind-faced and kind-hearted instructors are so Spartan.

"Kindly-faced?" The private soldiers of the adventurers were all startled after hearing this, as if their faces were pale because of some unbearable experiences. At level 3, the six of them faced a total of twenty-one goblins who appeared one after another. Lin patrol team only received a reminder from the front row instructor to "pay attention to the northeast corner", and then ignored it. After the victory, two people were shot by snipers in the northeast corner with half a breath left, and the instructor opened their mouths and poured potion.

Everything is to catch up with the uprising.

In terms of treatment, nurses have good spell power and medical skills, and they don't need to be on the front line; Sword Song cannot keep up with them anyway, and their professional characteristics determine that they are weak at low levels; therefore, the instructors have cruelly suppressed all the hopes of private soldiers. The pressure placed on the private army of adventurers is quite stringent, basically at the limit of no human life. According to estimates, when the blockade is lifted, there should be level 7 or even level 8.

The private soldiers of the adventurers saluted and said goodbye. It was not difficult to see that in the evening, they were dragging their exhausted bodies and walking around in a daze.

But the equipment didn't suffer much damage.

"You don't need to worry about their accounts, they can basically be settled." Hathaway turned over the information in his hand to show you, "Now that the first floor has been conquered, there are fewer treasures and gold coins that can be recovered. All It is the obligation of private soldiers to hand over all spoils of war, and this was agreed upon when they were first hired. In addition to giving them rewards, the money they earn is also spent on themselves - to buy potions and temporarily enchant weapons. , repair and replace equipment.”

"McKenna will go to the market in the camp from time to time to negotiate. The merchants there will look out for the Lord's face and provide free maintenance and repair on the equipment of the adventurers' private soldiers, and even heal their wounds for free. Basically, there is no cost. It’s free, and it’s just six people anyway. Especially the blacksmiths and the others made a lot of money because of the rebel army, and happily replaced the private soldiers with six sets of the latest equipment, and promised to "refund" part of the money after the completion of the work. For you personally." There are many profit opportunities in it, which would have been difficult to handle if McKenna hadn't been there.

"Fieldin and the other sword singers may not be able to take the forefront in the uprising. At present, they are just... skinny elves holding giant swords taller than themselves, and their combat capabilities are not satisfactory."

After saying this, Hathaway took your arm and walked into the teleportation circle.

As expected, there was Samuel again.

But what is different from usual is that the guards responsible for guarding the teleportation array no longer sit lazily holding their weapons, and they are surrounding you with murderous intent!

Hathaway reacted very quickly and shouted: "What are you doing! Are you rebelling? Don't you know the lord?"

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Hey, put down your weapons!" Samuel ran over and bowed repeatedly to apologize.

You couldn't help but frowned. Is this group of people okay? They actually put on a fighting stance towards their lord, which they don't usually do.

"Please forgive me! I'm extremely sorry, because..." Samuel didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he organized his words, "You also know that the teleportation circle usually has multiple protections, including prohibiting strange sub-races and evil camps.

Wait, there are also evil monitoring and clairvoyance spells in effect. From our side, we can see you and the three ladies standing opposite the magic circle, talking about something with their mouths opening and closing, and you will be here soon, but..."

Hathaway asked displeasedly: "Now that you have seen the lord, how dare you order the guards to be on guard?"

"But we found an evil aura on you..."

"What?"

"I was wondering if I was being impersonated or manipulated, so I delayed the transmission for a few seconds. Then I decided to be on guard first." Samuel explained with an ugly face, "My "real"

"You must see the person with your own eyes to determine whether it is a deformed disguise."

You were startled,

He lowered his head and looked at the...evil aura on his body? According to Samuel's explanation, he came to the magic circle in advance to greet you because of the foreknowledge, but he detected an evil aura that seemed to be floating around your body. Is it specific?

What it was, he couldn't tell.

In short, the teleportation circle is very tightly defended, which can be considered a good thing.

Hearing that you came to inspect the camp management organization, Samuel immediately said that he would prepare for the reception. Please inspect the guard team, the council hall, and the market in order. This is human nature, and it does not necessarily mean that you have a guilty conscience and want to hide it.

What—in fact, since he could predict your coming, he would have covered up the things that needed to be covered up.

The main office building of the guard is next to the camp gate. Follow the lead and go there.

There are not many civilians around, but there is an endless stream of merchants and even caravans. Perhaps because the official business is almost finished in the evening, there is a relaxed and happy atmosphere everywhere. Because it is located in a remote place, there are no big towns around, so it has become a place of various

It is a stopover and trading place for caravans traveling along the way. The camp is not large, but the market size is not small. The density of people flow for foreign merchants is not inferior to that of the ancient city.

The wooden city wall at the top of the city, which is more than three meters high and can accommodate two people walking side by side, looks quite strong. The city gate is a thick iron lattice gear door. The wall is full of sharpened wooden stakes and thorns, and there are also slanted outwards to prevent

Climbing spikes, there are more than a dozen guards patrolling the city wall, looking out vigilantly across the archer's platform. Although the torch has not been raised yet, the brazier has already been lit.

The city gate opened, and everyone came into the city. Most of them were hunters and farmers, except for a group of merchants who hurriedly and slowly arrived at the camp before dark and were being interrogated by two guards.

The camp is not big, but it has a decent appearance. The quality of the guards is not low, and there are many caravans. However, the number of residents is not enough to support the name of a village. It is more like a trading city, with half of the local population gone.

They moved here.

"The application for promotion to 'Village' is under review. I believe it will be approved soon. It's not a big deal. It's stable." Samuel reported while urging the guard next to him, "Where is your captain?

Why haven't you come to see the lord?"

"I..." the guard was speechless for a moment, "I called him a long time ago. He is interrogating the prisoner and will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman who claimed to be the vice-captain ran over in a panic, pressing her helmet, and saluted repeatedly: "I have met the lord! If you are not far away from us, please move over here." She said, leading you to the guards.

The office building is a two-story wooden house. It is worth mentioning that there is also a single-story building on the left side with an archer's stand on the roof. It is said that guards can be stationed here.

Hold on to what?

When you asked this question, the female vice-captain was stunned: "Well, just in case. The city wall was originally designed to be breached, and there must always be a back-up." But you are in the ancient city and Wuxiang Bay.

I have never seen such a defense design before. Hathaway whispered in his ear and explained that after all, this place is a wilderness and is adjacent to dungeons and several goblin and orc tribes. The safety factor is incomparable to that of big towns.

Finally met the new guard captain.

This guy is really busy. When you saw him, he was in the open-air cage next to the guard office building, punching people! When he saw you, his face was full of surprise, as if he didn't expect you to come so soon.

He hurriedly arranged his uniform and ran over to salute.

His fists were still splattered with blood.

Hathaway looked at the cage. It was like a large cage for wild dogs. There were two men squatting inside. One of them had been beaten to a black and blue face, and the other had not yet begun interrogation.

"What did they commit?"

"Uh...no."

"ah?"

"Don't worry, listen to my explanation." The guard captain wiped his sweat, "As you know, we were originally mercenaries, and we have seen a lot of black and white. These two people entered the camp this morning...it was "morning"

There is a wilderness nearby. Even if you come from the nearest village, you should arrive in the morning. It can be seen that they have been squatting outside the city wall last night and hesitated for a long time before deciding to venture in and "try something." They call themselves adventurers.

But I see that their equipment and personal belongings are not very similar, and they are wandering around, asking around, and being sneaky. The most important thing is that they were leaving the camp "just now."

"You have also seen that in the evening, normal people walk in, and no one walks out. I detained them, but they explained that they are "good at skills and not afraid of danger." It was really strange, so I gave the order

Just lock them up and interrogate them first. Anyway, we have a good treatment center here."

The guard captain was still trying to explain his arrest for no reason.

Everyone's attention is focused on him, but you look at the two men. It's really weird... The man who hasn't been beaten suddenly inserts his fingers into his own throat and retches a few times while holding back the sound.

, and then pulled it out of the mouth...
