Chapter 407: Maybe it’s us who need rescue?
Loy City is located in the Cockburn Territory of Ham County.
Therefore, it is not so strange to meet people from the Coburn family here.
But Williams started pretending to be a civilian adventurer again.
In this regard, Brand did not mean to expose it. He responded with a smile and enthusiasm:
"Williams! I didn't expect to meet you here!
Is there any news about any ruins and treasures nearby? Not only Ms. Hisali, but also you have come to Loy City?"< br>
After hearing Brand’s words, Williams scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:
“I didn’t expect you to discover this. There is a deserted area southwest of Roy City. A piece of the Renshan Mountain collapsed some time ago.
According to the investigation, there may be a cave underneath. Recently, adventurers have discovered some ancient objects there.
Come to think of it, there should be a ruins there. "
Hearing that something like this happened, Brand couldn't help but said with some doubts:
"As a lord, Viscount Cockburn will probably not be indifferent to this relic, right? "
Williams explained:
"Perhaps because of the current shortage of manpower, Viscount Cockburn does not seem to be prepared to monopolize it.
Now there is just a toll checkpoint set up on the periphery. You only need to pay 10 magic gold coins to explore. ”
After hearing Williams’ explanation and briefly thinking about it.
Brand couldn’t help showing an unclear look.
——Cockburn, who made his fortune as an adventurer There are unexplored ruins in the family and in their own territory. How suspicious is this?
And is it really not a way for the Coburn family to make money by charging for expeditions?
< br>
Seemingly sensing that something was wrong with Brand's expression, Williams quickly changed the subject and said:
"I wonder if Mr. Brand is interested in exploring with us?"
Hearing this, Brand quickly shook his head and said:
"Williams, you should know that I am not interested in exploration.
Of course, if you really gain something If you have any valuable treasures, you can come and see them
I won't be shy about giving a high price if it works for me. ”
Seeing that Brand refused the invitation without hesitation, Williams had no special reaction. After all, this result was within his expectation.
Looked at the disappointed expression on his face. After Hisari, Williams continued:
"Actually, I also know that Mr. Brand probably won't go on the adventure with us, but Captain Hisari strongly requested to bring me to invite you to join us. . ”
Hisali also spoke immediately:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Brand. I saw you were so interested in my adventures this morning. I thought you were more adventurous too!
It just so happened that Williams, who recently joined the adventure group, also met you. , so I thought of bringing him here to invite you to join.”
Brand shook his head and said:
“It’s not that I don’t like taking risks, but relatively speaking, I don’t like taking risks. There are other things I like more.
Besides, I won’t stay here for too long, so I’m sorry.”
"Is that so?"
Hearing Brand's explanation, Hisari couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
After chatting briefly for a while, Sisali and Williams said goodbye to Brand and left the hotel.
Walking on the street outside, Williams reminded him earnestly:
“Captain Heisali, a noble descendant like Mr. Brand will definitely not interact with you. We adventurers got together.
Despite his easy-going appearance, in fact, nobles are indifferent people who are good at pretending. "
After a slight silence, Sisali couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and touched and said:
"Williams, maybe you are right. The longing may really be just wishful thinking.
Not to mention the difference in status, Mr. Brand’s maid is more beautiful than me.
In this case, how could Mr. Brand fall in love with me? ”
Hearing Hisari's disappointed words, Williams couldn't help but flash his eyes, and then "snapped in" and said:
"Captain Hisari, I can't control other people, but I am sure I will always be by your side!
In my heart, you will always be the most beautiful!”
Hearing this, Xisali couldn’t help but smile sweetly:
< br>“Thank you Williams.”
When Williams heard Sisali's thanks, he was smug.
In the blind corner of the field of vision that he couldn't see, Sisali turned her head to "see the scenery" and couldn't help showing a disgusted expression!
On Brand's side, after seeing off Williams and Hisari, he took out the "magic book" and continued his daily practice.
In the evening, the three Finns returned.
They shared the information they detected about the surrounding underground black market.
In order to avoid official investigations, these guys who established the underground black market are extremely cautious.
Not only will the transaction location be set in a different uninhabited wilderness every time.
Moreover, if you want to know the specific location and join it, you must sign a strict confidentiality contract in advance.
In other words, this mission may be more troublesome than imagined!
In response, Brand showed a symbolic expression of solemnity.
The next day, Brand and Catherine, still dressed as an aristocratic young master and a maid, walked out of the hotel room leisurely. After meeting up with Finn and the others, they came to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
——Mr. Harward has been waiting here for a long time!
After a few simple greetings, the group began to walk outside the city.
While walking, Harward also said:
"What we are going to today is a small black market. After we sneak in, we must first detect the trading items in the black market.
I think you should also know which trading items fall within the scope of our trial department's investigation.
If it's not clear, it's in the information I gave you yesterday.
The goal of our operation is to find those who sell and buy illegally traded goods as much as possible. Detect their whereabouts without being noticed by them, and then find the stronghold of the organization behind them.
Of course, if you are discovered, you will act according to the situation and prioritize your own life safety. "
Speaking of this, Harward added:
"This mission requires the use of concealment spells, and the duration may be a bit long. Are you okay? "
Finn patted his chest and assured:
"Don't worry, the three of us will take turns hosting, and there will be no problem if it lasts all day! ”
After hearing Finn's words, Harward nodded in approval.
Yesterday, he went back and carefully looked through the basic information of the two families of Holland and Cecil.
Although the Holland family is a knight family that has nothing to do with mages.
But the Cecil family is an orthodox mage family, and Mr. Finn is also the heir to the Cecil family.
Based on this information, Harward believes that this mission can definitely proceed smoothly.
——Even if an accident does happen, I think Mr. Finn will have a way to resolve it.
After leaving Roy City, everyone began to move faster.
After marching for a while, Harward made a gesture to stop everyone.
After looking around for a few times, Harward said:
“You can see the target location if you go a little further forward.
To be on the safe side, we're going to stay hidden from here on out. "
Hearing this, there is no need to say more.
As the magic light on Finn's body flickered gently, a barrier like a water curtain enveloped them.
——From the outside, there is nothing here.
As we move forward again, scattered patrol figures gradually begin to appear in front of us.
Further forward, everyone saw stone walls.
Looking at the wall not far ahead, the expressions of Harward and Finn began to look solemn.
After carefully looking at the stone wall in front of him for a few times, Finn said with certainty:
"These stone walls in front are all created by magic. We'd better check the surroundings first. There are no magic traps to continue forward.”
After hearing Finn’s reminder, Harward’s expression became more solemn.
——It’s just a small-scale black market. Isn’t this level of defense a bit too high?
Looking at Finn and the other three people, they looked at the front and activated various detection spells with vigilant faces, looking for a safe route that would not touch traps.
Brand couldn't help but yawned out of boredom.
After scanning the surroundings left and right, he said to the people in front of him:
"I'm walking around, you guys come on."
Hearing this, Harward didn't react too well.
But Finn, who has excellent professionalism, quickly responded:
"Boss Brand, just do whatever you want! We will carry out this mission well!"
After nodding with a smile, Brand injected magic power into the concealment bracelet on his wrist.
A spherical barrier like a water curtain quickly enveloped Brand and Catherine.
Then, with Harward's blank look on his face, Brand and Catherine completely lost their whereabouts in front of everyone.
Seeing that the gentleman from the trial department seemed a little incomprehensible, Finn came over and patted him on the shoulder, and then said seriously:
"Boss, no matter what you want to do, stand still. We can only support this, and I hope Mr. Harward can understand this."
Hearing this, Harward said with a look of confusion:
"Look at this black market. It's not easy to get up. Is Mr. Brand too casual?
What if he is discovered, besieged, and then we are too late to rescue him? "
Hearing this, Finn couldn't help but pointed out:
"I think maybe we will be the ones who need rescue then? ”
