Game time PM18:21
Violet Empire, Marshall Territory, Mithril City
This is one of the best in the entire Marshall Territory A prosperous city, even as developed as the Marshall Islands Mercury City in the city has considerable capital in various fields. It is the largest comprehensive city in the territory. It is also a satellite city of Mercury City. It is less than a hundred miles away from the former. Buffy is usually there. Several brigades of the Knights of the Sword are permanently stationed here, which shows how much they are valued.
However, today, more than 50,000 expected uninvited guests arrived here.
It is said that they are uninvited guests because these people have no good intentions towards this land; it is said that they are expected because the Marshall family had already evacuated the garrisoned knights two days ago and moved as much as possible during this period. All the properties belonging to the Marshall family in the city were taken over.
Obviously, from the moment Buffy escaped, he had expected this day to come, because the worst case scenario must be a joint crusade to honor the results of the trial some days ago, and The one who was bent on putting himself to death and kept it secret His Royal Highness, who has lived for more than twenty years, has a 99% chance of leading the situation to the 'worst case scenario', not to mention Futaba, who represents the Fire Claw Territory, Crystal Wolf and Tomoe, who have obviously broken up with him. There is no way those people in the Luoka and other families would not fall into trouble.
So as early as the first day after escaping back to Mercury City, the Grand Duke, who had been theoretically deprived of all power and status, quickly integrated all the power in the central area of the territory into Mercury City, whether it was wealth or strength.
As for the major neutral organizations such as the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, the Steam Consortium, and the Adventurers Guild, they should be doing business, handing out tasks, and ignoring the aura of imminent storm. Even though the coalition of lords had rushed into the city in a mighty manner, they were still going about their daily lives as if nothing had happened. They looked no different from usual.
Because these neutral forces or ordinary people are the main component of Mithril City, on the surface, this vibrant city is no different from the past.
At least, that's what's on the surface
But there are undercurrents surging below the surface. For example, the two Wanderer Inns in the south and west of the city each have a shortage of 30 people, and the Thieves Guild has twice as many mobile people as usual. , all the Adventurer's Guild's A-level and above missions were cancelled, several large mercenary groups disappeared, the Mage Guild temporarily terminated the teleportation business, the Gold Coin Merchant Guild quietly raised the price of food by half a percent, and few were truly indifferent.
Those managers with online IQs had already sensed something a few days ago when the Marshall family evacuated on a large scale, and they took action one after another.
Although they don't care about the life and death of the Marshall family and are not afraid of the Violet Empire, they still need to know a little bit about the relevant intelligence and wind direction.
As a neutral organization that has stood in the Innocence Continent for thousands of years, these forces have witnessed the rise and fall of countless dynasties. They all know that the sky of the Violet Empire is about to change, and in the process What these people care about is how much benefit they can get.
Those who are waiting to see the situation, those who retreat, those who are doing behind-the-scenes transactions, and those who are gathering intelligence are quietly active in every branch, branch, and store. These people may not have the slightest influence on the situation, but they will be there when everything is settled. They will make corresponding decisions as soon as possible, and the content and gains and losses of the decision will depend on their results during this period of time.
Among them, as the largest and loosest intelligence organization in the entire continent, the Traveler Hostel, which is always profitable, is the most active. For a time, the bard group surged in Mithril City. Nearly doubled, in addition to the two local hotels, their colleagues in neighboring cities also came here after hearing the news, trying to collect some big news.
But they are not in the right place at the right time and do not know the ins and outs, but they are far inferior to a foreign monk who has been eyeing this big news for a long time.
The owner of the Wanderer Inn in Wayne City, the Raven Mage Crow, rushed to Mithril City as early as the day the Lords Alliance set out, and spread his lovely pets to the west to Mercury City. The entire area from the intersection of Marshall and Hussein in the east is included in his surveillance. He himself was very forward-looking and rented a small building with excellent views on Ximen Street in Mithril City. The lord coalition camp temporarily stationed in this city is less than ten miles away.
“It’s really about to break out.”
Wearing a plain robe, this gentle-looking dark elf leaned lazily by the window, his slightly narrowed left eye staring at the orderly 50,000 elites outside the city, connected to Raven No. 18. His right eye overlooked Mercury City a hundred miles away, and on the wooden table behind him, a black quill was writing rapidly on several pieces of parchment.
This level of multitasking is not even a burden for Crowe. He can even make himself a cup elegantly while staring at several directions at the same time and thinking in multiple threads. coffee.
“Pfft”
After taking a sip of the burnt coffee that accidentally added seven or eight cubes of sugar, Crowe squirted it on the spot, then coughed dryly and held it in his hand. The cup poured down the window, he hugged his arms and sneered: "It tastes really bad."
Obviously, when it comes to multitasking, Crowe, who has no professional training and only relies on talent, is far behind. It's not as good as Mo Tan, especially when under the chaotic neutral personality. The latter can even use his peripheral vision to make up for it, decipher SUN's code, make coffee, make soup, play mobile games, command dungeons, think about life, pet cats, etc. Singing, making money, posting Yi Dong's personal information on gay dating websites and many other operations, and can do all aspects well.
Because he has practiced, he has a great advantage in mental state.
As for the two personalities of absolute neutrality and lawful good, because in the final analysis it is still the same person, so it can be done, but the former is easy to slip away, and the latter He likes to focus, so under normal circumstances, Mo Tan will only do this when he is the 'Tan Mo' we recognize.
Of course, it is undoubtedly unfair to Crowe to compare with this kind of 'monster' in a broad sense. After all, this young man is different from his colleagues and his colleagues who are not cheating. Bi, has done very well.
“It can be seen that the Marshall family is facing an unprecedented crisis. I have every reason to suspect that the highest-level meetings that the Violet Empire has been conducting are targeting him. According to the A-level intelligence applied for last time, It is inferred that it was most likely a trial against a grand duke-level noble. Judgment, and the initiator is most likely the Duke of Fire Claw, and the girl named Futaba definitely played a key role in this process, it is recommended to be listed as a 'Qian Sing' level person." Bro took a deep breath. In a low tone, he murmured the results of his observations during this period: "In addition, the results of this top-level meeting The results seemed to be different from what was shown in the A-level intelligence of 1987. Duke Buffy Marshall, who was suspected of being tried, returned to his territory at some point. The next day, the rest of the lord armies of the Violet Empire entered the preparation stage, and in just a short time Arriving in the Marshall Territory at a crazy speed within a few days, Violet, A large number of elite troops under Dantes, Baroka, Crystal Wolf, Hussein, Fernand, Simon, and Fire Claw have been assembled, and their swords are pointed at Mercury City."
Speaking of this, Crowe suddenly There was silence, and the quill that had been writing was calmly hanging on the paper, waiting for the next words.
After a while, Crowe continued: "In addition, the second prince of the Violet Empire, Xubresn, is suspected to have abilities far beyond his resume, and may be a strong candidate to become the empire's servant king. It is recommended to be listed as ' Singer-level person, special note, this view is a certain subjective view of the Wayne City Hotel."
Two minutes later, the raven who had been waiting in front of the window for a long time held an ink-scented letter in his mouth. The dry envelope rose into the air and flew straight to the north.
Crow then took a long breath, with a proud smile on his face: "Kalan City Hotel, let's see what you are going to do with me! Don't write this sentence!"
< br>Same time
Kalan City Traveler Hostel
"Today is another day without guests."
The cute girl in a cute maid outfit pouted cutely: "I'm so unhappy, Gu!"
"Lady, Wei Remember to ask for a lady”
The hotel owner Jun Wu was lying on the counter. Afterwards, he yelled weakly, then covered his face with "My Eagle Academy - The History of the Legendary Half-Orc Berserker" again, and said sullenly: "Isn't it good to have no business? Pure.”
“No ambition!”
Weiyang, who was wiping the table, threw the rag with his backhand and hit Jun Wu's exposed chin straight: "You are worthless, boys must have dreams!" Jun Wu glared at him and grabbed it. He picked up the rag that seemed to be cleaner than a human face (washed an average of forty times a day), shrugged and said: "What's the big deal? We are leaving here soon anyway. Then we will do it in a big place like the Free City, and there are still customers." How much do you want?”
“Are you so confident?”
Wei Yang flapped his wings twice and floated in front of Jun Wu. He hugged his slender legs wrapped in black stockings and sat down on the counter: "We want background but no background, and we want connections but no connections."
"But we have performance, silly Weiyang .”
Jun Wu rolled up the book in his hand and tapped his forehead lightly, smiling with a complex expression: "Do you know how far I have completed the task? Two hundred and seven percent! Two hundred and seven percent, how dare you? Letter!"
"Okay Well, it seems that the information provided by that guy is indeed a bit sharp."
Weiyang smacked his lips, and then suddenly froze in place. After being silent for a long time, he turned over from the table and clicked. It hit the ground with a sound.
"Hey!"
Jun Wu was shocked, and quickly stood up and looked at his rather embarrassed sister: "What are you doing?"
Weiyang fluttered for a while before getting up from the ground, and said with a twitching corner of his mouth: "Tan Mo sent me the latest information."
"Huh? He usually sends it to me, doesn't he? Why is it suddenly your turn?"< br>
“I didn’t know, he said he wanted to know if I would also bring ‘gu’gu when I know news.”
“Gugu?”
“ Gugu, uncle Gu!”
Weiyang glared at Jun Wu, patted her skirt, and spread her hands: "But I just discovered that there seems to be Gu in my reply messages. It seems that the system deliberately added the suffix Gu to me."
“Quite cute.”
Jun Wusan laughed, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and then asked with a smile: "Then what did he tell you this time?"
Weiyang scratched himself hair, sighed softly: "I have forwarded the message to you, Gu, If these contents are true, our mission completion rate is estimated to be doubled. The guy gave us more than just information. He even gave a prophecy, and it seemed quite reliable at first glance. ”
Jun Wu was stunned for a moment , then quickly opened the message bar, and read at a glance the message Weiyang forwarded to him from the second uncle. He was silent for a while with a gloomy expression, and then slowly shook his head: "We don't want this information. Reported”
"Why Shenma Gu?"
Weiyang tilted his head in confusion and asked curiously: "Do you think this information is particularly unreliable? Will it affect the evaluation of us by the superiors?"
“No, on the contrary.”
Jun Wu sighed, took off his glasses and wiped them slowly with the cuffs of his robe: “I think this information is as accurate as before. It’s frighteningly high. Even the things predicted in it, which have not happened yet, have a certain degree of credibility, but precisely because of this, we cannot report it to the hotel’s senior management.”
Although Weiyang is also very smart, because Jun Wu's head always turns very fast, she basically doesn't like to use her brain when the two of them are together, so...
"Speaking of people's words."
She glanced at her brother with a particularly imposing look.
“With a completion rate of 270%, our mission is basically stable.”
Jun Wu immediately understood and explained while continuing to wipe his glasses: “If not If something unexpected happens, the senior management of Wanderer Hostel will definitely pay attention to us. However, if we produce results that are too strong or even completely beyond the norm, then this attention may be subject to many variables, such as transferring to "It's our intelligence source."
Wei Yang nodded, then picked up the rag on the table and started cleaning for the twenty-third time today. He shrugged and said, "Anyway, Junjun, you just have to be aware of it." Gu, now I just want to find someone to take advantage of and sell him something at a high price.”
Jun Wupi smiled and retracted behind the counter: "That's why we have almost no customers here."
However, at this moment.
A tall elf woman wearing a white robe, blond hair and blue eyes, with protruding front and back, walked in with graceful sleeves, winked at the stupid hair from Jun Wu behind the counter, and smiled. Yingying asked: "Are they Boss Junwu and Miss Weiyang? I am Agatha from the headquarters. Congratulations to both of you, your transfer orders have arrived."
