The footsteps were very urgent.

And clear.

Sean and others looked out the door and saw a man in a tuxedo walking in quickly. His face was a little flustered, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his hair was stuck to his face. He looked extremely embarrassed. He had maintained the elegance and etiquette of his movements as much as possible, but the dirty face was really impossible. In other words, in the entire city of Rolfland, I am afraid that no one can still maintain this elegance and calmness.

"Who is the head of the team?" The young man immediately asked as soon as he walked into the hotel gate.

His voice was full of urgency.

"I am, what's wrong?" Sean said.

"Hello, I am Sir Paro's housekeeper. Sir would like to invite you to the lord's house to meet." The man who called himself a housekeeper stood in front of Sean. His attitude seemed very respectful, and he kept his voice as steady as possible, but the eagerness in his eyes was obvious.

After seeing the food on the table of Sean and others, the butler politely added: "I hope you can take some time to go there."

Sean showed a little doubt and curiosity on his face. If Sir Paro didn't like him leading his team into the city, he would definitely intercept them when they appeared, and would not wait until now to send someone to find him. Then the answer to his own team at this time is naturally not related to his team entering the city. I guess there must be something that needs his own help, and it may be a big task.

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

"Is it a commission?" Sean asked tentatively.

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

"You go with Cecilia and Fred. Anno and I will lead the others here." William said when he saw Sean's gaze, "We don't know how to negotiate anyway, so it's useless to go there. It's better to leave it to you professionals."

So he nodded, and without saying anything, he left the hotel with the butler and walked towards the city lord's mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is located on the West Street of Roflan City, but it is very different from other houses on the West Street, because it is neither luxurious nor covers a large area. It looks like a three-story independent courtyard with front and back gardens, which looks unusually incompatible with the luxurious mansions on the West Street. If it weren't for the clearly hanging a sign outside the wall of the house with the words "City Lord's Mansion" written on it, no matter who passes by, you will only subconsciously ignore the house.

When Sean entered the city, she saw that many places in the city were actually re-planned, and even some residential houses were demolished and rebuilt. Even the luxury houses on West Street seemed to tend to be renovated and renovated, because Sean did see many hand and scaffoldings built, and many people were busy. But only this city lord's mansion seemed to have no such change at all, and let alone workers, even servants did not see them.

When the door opened, the young butler took out a bunch of keys from his body and opened it himself.

Sean couldn't help but wonder, how poor is this city lord named Paro?

The door was opened, and Sean noticed that there were signs of curtains shaking on the third floor of the house near the left side of the house. It was obvious that someone was standing there observing something. At this moment, Sean was indeed full of questions, but he knew that even if he asked, the butler of the lord's mansion in front of him could not say any useful information. It would be better to wait until he saw Sir Paro.

However, this process was faster than Sean thought.

When the butler opened the door, an old man walked down from the second floor with a crutch. When he saw this old man who was about 1.6 meters tall and not much taller than a dwarf, the butler quickly turned to the side so that Sean and others behind him could see the old man more clearly.

"I am Paro. As you can see, the lord of this city of Rovland." The old man was obviously a little impatient. His voice seemed a little hoarse, not like the sound he used to be, but it only became like this after an extremely fierce quarrel. However, compared to his hoarse voice, his straightforwardness was even more impressive: "I have one thing I want to entrust you, but unfortunately, I have no extra funds to pay."

Sir Paro's impatience and straightforwardness gave Shawn some favor. However, he could not be spent as money. Although he still had a huge sum of millions of dollars on him, the money was not much strictly calculated. So if he had the opportunity to make money, he would certainly not let it go. Even if the mosquito meat was small, it was still meat.

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

For him, these two words mean experience value and strength improvement. Since Tinders led the army, although his experience value has not increased, and when he finally had a commission, Sean's mood has certainly become very wonderful. However, whether it is following the player's thinking or the identity of the leader of the mercenary group or the mercenary group, the reward must be enough.

"You can rest assured that we have to charge based on the content of the commission." Cecilia said, "If the commission is not particularly difficult, our charges will definitely not be too expensive, so you can rest assured."

Palo looked at Cecilia and did not speak. At this time, Sean quickly responded: "I am Sean, the leader of this mercenary group. This is Cecilia and Alfred, both of them are deputy leaders of the team, so what they say can actually represent me."

Hearing Sean's explanation, Sir Paro nodded slightly: "What if you were asked to save people?... As you can see, the current city of Rovland is in a state of construction and expansion, so it is especially necessary. I asked my son to contact a caravan to buy supplies. Originally, this matter was very smooth. Logically speaking, it should have been back today, but I couldn't wait for my son's return, so this letter was sent back."

Sean reached out to take the envelope, and the seal on it had been unveiled. It was obvious that the content of the letter had been read, but considering that the letter was taken from Paro's hand, it was probably the only reader who was Sir Paro.

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

There is nothing else.

Sean handed the letter to Cecilia. Cecilia browsed it and handed it to Alfred. The latter also browsed it and handed it back to Sean's hand. Sean carefully put the letter back into the envelope and 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 another batch of goods missing with my son. This batch of goods is very important to the current city of Rovland. I would like to ask you to retrieve this batch of goods together."

"Master, please be honest." Sean frowned slightly, feeling that this matter seemed a bit strange. "You can send the city defense team to dispatch. In terms of combat effectiveness, the city defense team should have much higher combat effectiveness than us."

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

Seeing such a Paro City Lord, Sean simply did not speak, but chose to listen quietly.

"When I received this letter, it was yesterday, and I also sent a guard to dispatch a total of 100 light cavalrymen at the first time." Paro's consideration was actually quite correct. "After all, the other party not only captured my son, but also had a whole team of goods, and the movement would definitely be slow. Moreover, the delivery location stated in this letter was also not far from Rovlan City, so it proved that the other party must be hiding nearby. With the search ability of the light cavalry, it should be possible to get the news quickly."

"But the result is completely opposite to what I guess." Sir Paro's voice became low, "According to the order, no matter what the result is, the light cavalry unit had to come back to report last night, but it was not responding until this morning. I guess this light cavalry unit is probably..."

I didn't say anything later, but the result was already very obvious.

Although light cavalry units are mostly used for assistance and reconnaissance on the battlefield, this is still a standard Tripole unit. If the opponent can completely annihilate a Tripole unit, this is enough to show that the opponent's combat effectiveness is not simple, at least it will not be ordinary bandits. It is very likely that the troops of other countries infiltrate in an attempt to cause damage within the Duchy of Ryan.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it is a noble who has private conflicts with the lord of the Danavi Territory.

Because of the national nature of the Principality of Ryan and the wars and conflicts between nobles, as long as the scale is not too large and there is not too many people to be pulled into the water, the Grand Duke has always turned a blind eye. Most of the powerful marquises in the Principality of Ryan have been gained by this way of annexing other families, and only a very small number of them are truly fighting through their own military achievements and strength, like Asuna.

Thinking of this, Sean's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "Master Lord, it's probably difficult for us to do this task... My army has only two hundred people, and it can't even be considered a regular army."

"I also know, but now there are too few city defense garrisons in Rovlan City. After losing the light cavalry unit, there are less than 500 people left. I am worried that if I send them all out, the other party will come to loot the town." Paro also knew that his request seemed a bit difficult, but he really had no choice. Who made Sean appear here by chance? "How about this, you only need to be responsible for the investigation! Once the other party's hiding place is investigated, I will immediately let the garrison go out, so that the trouble can be completely eliminated."

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

"You can offer a price. But it's better not to be too high. I'm afraid I can't pay it, because the city's funds are currently invested in construction and expansion."

"Since that's the case, then I would like to ask the city lord to do a favor."

“What’s the busy thing?”

"I want to find a carving master to help my friend engrave a magic pattern. Only in this way can his combat effectiveness be improved, and our safety and efficiency will be guaranteed even more."
