"Captain Felicia, gather all our soldiers. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Locke instructed the female captain, "Let them put their personal belongings in order, we will leave Gadar today." ”

"Yes, Commander!"

After the captain left, Locke and Bridget sat in the first place, and then looked at the baron opposite.

"Aren't you afraid that he is a spy sent by the noble council?" Bridget whispered to Locke while drinking water, "I don't think he's a good man." ”

Locke looked over again when he heard this, this Baron Berg was very young and looked like he was only about 20 years old, perhaps because of his practice of magic, his body was a little thin. A fitting robes of a noble baron hung over his body, and a brooch with the family coat of arms on his chest.

His demeanor is decent, and he has an aristocratic style. When Locke looked at him, he bowed his head slightly to Locke.

"He looks like a complete nobleman, how many good things are there in the nobility?" Bridget was still a little wary of him.

"Don't worry, just ask clearly and then decide." Locke didn't rush to affirm, he looked at Baron Berg and then asked, "Baron Berg?" ”

"Yes, Commander." Berg stood up and bowed to Locke, "Just call me by my name, and your title will be higher than mine in the future." ”

"Alright then," Locke was happy too, after all, this thing is a baron, and he is a knight, and he will suffer from the title.

"I see that you still have a family crest on your brooch, does your family still have a fief?"

"Yes, my lord, as you and I see. My family has a fiefdom, but it's just a manor just a few kilometers away. It's all undead now. Slightly frustrated, the young baron pulled out his handkerchief and wiped his tears, "My parents died at the hands of the natural disaster, and I was the only one who was rescued. ”

Berg beckoned to the two servants behind him, and they walked up.

"It was with their help that I was able to escape." Berg stood gratefully and helped the two minions behind him. He introduced, "He's Jodi, my captain of the guard, a part-time groom, a professional who has awakened the abilities of a warrior. I have escaped countless times along the way, all with his help. ”

"Hello, Commander." Zodi straightened up, and he slammed his fist against his chest, doing adventurer etiquette. He had only a rudimentary plate armor chest guard, which was passed through the front and back shoulders with two iron chains, and there were struck marks on it. "It was a pleasure to meet you, and may the Light be with you!"

Locke smiled at him, and the warrior stepped back without saying a word.

Berg went on to introduce another female escort.

"This is Ina, my bodyguard who works as a cook and maid." Berg smiled at Locke, "Now, I have nothing left, only them to keep me company. ”

"Hello Commander, I'm Ina." The busty female warrior wore leather armor made of animal fur and, rarely, carried a short crossbow. Under the long millet hair, there was a slightly pretty face, which was now smiling and greeting itself. "Your heroic deeds are sung in the Tirisfara glades, and the people will be proud and proud to have a lord like you."

Locke opened his mouth and laughed, having to admit that the woman was very good at talking.

"Now, the three of us depend on each other." Berg said with a slight embarrassment, "We fled from the manor in such a hurry that we didn't have time to take anything with us. ”

"Can you show me your noble appointment papers?" Locke interrupted him, "Something that would prove your identity is better." ”

"Oh, this one is brought out!" Berg quickly pulled out several parchment rolls from his noble robe and handed them to Locke.

Locke flipped through and looked closely, and here Berg briefly introduced the origin of the title.

"My father used to be a lieutenant in the kingdom's army. During the Second War, he fought bravely to kill more than a dozen orcs in the defense of the royal city of Lordaeron, and was appointed a baron by King Terenus. My family's fiefdom is 20 kilometers south of the manor in Kanas. ”

"Now, those small pieces of land are full of wandering zombies and ghosts. We wandered for a long time in the Tirisfal Glades just to get this appointee, and if it weren't for that, some of my friends wouldn't have died in my family's fiefdom. ”

Berg's gang became a little frustrated.

"Later, we heard about your deeds in the Silver Pine Forest, and we wanted to go over to you. But we heard that you were in the monastery, so we hurried over. The inquiry I asked you that day was actually to get your attention and prepare for today's day. ”

"I really didn't have any other malice that day." Berg hurriedly explained.

Locke handed him back the parchment scroll, questioning, "You say you're a mage?" I have the impression that it is not difficult for a mage to kill those low-level undead soldiers, right? Why are you so embarrassed? ”

"If you can release two fireballs, you can also call a mage." Berg looked embarrassed, and he had to say, "I'm sorry Commander, but I'm technically just a mage apprentice. I only had a few low-level spells, and when I ran out of them, I became weak, and it felt like I could be drowned on land. ”

It dawned on Locke that this was the case. A mage apprentice, I'll just say. How many nobles can endure it, and what about the loneliness and loneliness, and the boring magic of studying?

"Why don't you join the Council of Nobles? With your status as a nobleman, I believe they will not ignore you. Locke pondered to ask the question, after all, Berg had questioned himself at trial, and there might be a connection between the two.

"Useless adults, they won't accept nobles who are not with them." Berg said with some indignation, "Those vampires have deprived my family of their territory under the pretext that I have left my own territory. When I argued with them, they threatened me with the title of knighthood if I continued to argue, and I had to leave there. ”

"These moths! When the kingdom fell, didn't they also flee? Why do this to me? Berg said indignantly, "Shameful vampires! ”

Locke nodded thoughtfully, the vampires had to figure out how to get them. Otherwise, it's not a way for them to ride on their heads all the time.

"So, what can you do?" Through only one step of understanding Berg, Locke gradually relaxed his vigilance against him. He asked Berg, "I don't have idlers here." All of my men have a skill. ”

"For example, the daily work of the Interior, Civil Affairs, and the City Hall!" Before Locke could speak, Bridget on the side was impatient to speak first.

Bridget was now simply frightened by Eva's growing work. During her time in Eva, she complained to Locke about this problem more than once. It's just that Locke didn't have a good candidate, so he had to let her do it with Shiloh first.

What she yearns for now is to lead the Fifth Legion out to fight the undead, gnolls, kobolds, or whatever, as long as it's an enemy. The life she wants is to fight in and out of the enemy with soldiers, this is the life she wants!

Instead of sitting at a desk every day, I was busy.

Bridget looked at Berg expectantly.

"That's not a problem, Commander." A confident smile appeared on Berg's young face, "I was an assistant to the town hall for a while in the Agamande family, oh yes, now it's your domain. That's a familiar thing to me. ”

"There's no better job than this!"

Berg looked at Locke with a smile on his face, "I think I have found a suitable position under your command." ”

Locke didn't rush to answer Berg's words, he first turned his head and glared at Bridget, how could this position be handed over to someone else casually? What's more, it's still an unfamiliar person?

But it's not right to let them go, whether it's a nail sent by the noble council or not, take it first. If it was sent by the Council of Nobles, then sooner or later it would be exposed. If not, then, as he himself said, he is equivalent to one more capable subordinate.

"Well, so be it." Locke looked at Berg and the three of them looked at him expectantly. "You go with our army first, and when we get to Eva, we will make arrangements for you."

"The Light is above! Thank you, sir, for your kindness. Ina, Berg's cook and maidservant, bowed to Locke in thanks, "We've been on the road for too long, and we can't rest anywhere in peace. Thank you, sir. ”

"Thank you, Commander." Berg was also a little excited, and he said respectfully, "I will not let you down." ”

The big warrior gave Locke an excited salute.

"Then so be it, you guys will follow the soldiers of the convoy in a moment. Come back to me if you need it. Locke waved at them, but Berg, the leader, did not go down.

Locke looked at him in surprise, Berg rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, he looked up at Locke embarrassedly, "My lord, can you provide us with a lunch?" We've been on the road for so many days, and we've run out of coins with us, and we're all relying on Zodi to work as a porter outside to support us these days. ”

With that, Berg's face turned red, and he hurriedly turned his face to the side. At this moment, he felt that he had lost the face of the nobleman.

What aristocrat would be so badly mixed.

Locke and Bridget looked at each other in surprise, and the aristocracy who was so embarrassed? That's a rarity.

Locke turned his head to look and saw that Berg's two servants also looked a little unnatural, they avoided his gaze, and did not dare to face him.

But yes, all the plants and beasts that could be eaten in the Tirisfal glade were almost eaten by the people before them. It's no surprise that they ended up like this.

Locke fumbled in his backpack for a moment, then pulled out a money bag and handed it to him.

"Take it," Locke handed it to him, "buy yourself something a little better, and get another carriage." When will a nobleman not lose his identity. ”

Berg took the money bag and didn't hurry to open it, and his servants behind him bowed deeply to Locke with him.
