655 Trust
If you want to spy on the secret information, you have to go to the Assassin Guild and spend a lot of money.
If you want to get some useful gossip, then the Mercenary Guild is a good choice. There are a lot of people in this place, and any strange things may pop up, but more of them are false news, and the main business of the mercenary union is not in intelligence, so the news of the mercenary union can only be trusted at most.
Nadette knew that he had provoked a professional, and it was not a secret, and it was not strange that the other party had heard about it from the mercenary union.
"Please come in, you're welcome to be one of us." Nadette lowered his guard a little, and as he walked, he asked, "Since Your Excellency has inquired about us, you should also know who we are doing things for." ”
"Yes." Beta nodded.
From Buffon Sr., Beta already knew that the Lord of Echo City was a supporter of the Papal faction. This is also the purpose of his coming here, the infighting in the Temple of Light, for any other small sect, is a good thing. The weakness of the Papal faction is not a good thing for the Temple of Waukin, and it is better for the Pope faction and the Holy Maiden faction to fight evenly and keep fighting.
Beta is here for this purpose, to see if he can slightly balance the balance of power between the Papal faction and the Holy Maiden. If you're lucky, you might be able to discover the core secrets of the Cult of Light.
For example...... Why did the Holy Maiden faction rebel and so on.
Nadette led Beta into the hall, where he saw a group of professionals sitting around a long dining table.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the castle lord and Beta. Beta counted, and excluding the guards around them, there were twenty-one people sitting at the table, seventeen men, and four women.
Sixteen of them were young and five were middle-aged.
Four women, two in the form of young girls, one young woman, and one middle-aged woman. Except for the middle-aged woman, who looks quite charming, the other three women look average.
Why should you pay attention to women's ...... first Isn't this a male instinct, Beta's dragon blood is getting thicker and thicker now, and he pays much more attention to women than before.
Beta also found that all of them were elite-level professionals. Among them was a middle-aged man with a flat head, and his level even reached LV9.
Nadette walked to the table with Beta and said, "This is our new companion, Cook Green. Everyone should also be able to feel the magic element on his body, and his strength is definitely not weak. Now, Cook will give you an introduction to his abilities and specialties. ”
Most of the professionals looked at his expressions, and most of them were curious and had a hint of anticipation. There was a young man who looked okay, and when he looked at him, there seemed to be a faint hostility.
Beta glanced at the young man without a trace, and then said, "Cook Green, 25 years old, from Lagoshire, dragon vein warlock. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was amazed, and some even whistled.
Unlike in the game, the warlocks of this world are strong all the way to the end. Player mages can learn at least a hundred types of magic, and at most they can learn two or three hundred. It is relatively easy to target a warlock with a small number of spells, even if the warlock's spells are more powerful and it is difficult to be restrained by the magician.
But in the real world, most magicians don't learn a lot of magic, after all, spell modeling is too expensive and too difficult to learn. Most mage players have at least sixteen years of systematic education and can learn anything quickly, but the mages in this world don't have such good educational resources. They learn magic much slower than the player. As a result, many magicians know even less magic than many magicians.
There are fewer spells than others, and warlocks are born with bloodlines to enhance the power of magic...... This is not a level level at all. In the eyes of the world, the fighting ability of a magician is inferior to that of a warlock. But in the gaming world, it's the opposite.
What's more, the Dragon Vein Warlock is still the most talented of all the Warlocks.
Nadette thought that Beta was just an ordinary magician, but he didn't expect that it was actually a rare dragon vein warlock, and he suddenly felt that he had picked up a treasure.
Only one young man looked worried.
Nadette shrugged, "Well, this time we're really a strong companion. Now it's time for you to introduce yourself. ”
Even if it was a very brief self-introduction, it took nearly half an hour for these twenty-one people to finish introducing themselves. Five of them piqued Beta's interest.
The middle-aged woman's name is Heidi, and she is an archer.
A middle-aged uncle at LV9 named Arnold is a berserker.
A small young man with a small head, who looked very frivolous, named Fast, was a thief.
A middle-aged uncle with a gloomy face, named Perth, is a magician of shadow magic. Originally, he didn't have any hostility towards Beta, but after hearing Beta say that he was a dragon sorcerer, there was more jealousy in his eyes. He and Beta were the only two spellcasters out of the twenty-two.
And the young man who had been vaguely hostile to Beta from the beginning, named Urban, was a shield warrior.
These five people are the five strongest in the team except for Beta.
Beta wrote down everyone's names and greeted them one by one, this initiative to show goodwill, naturally everyone had a little favor, even the Ebben, who was hostile to Beta at the beginning, his expression eased slightly.
"The main reason for bringing everyone together this time is that there is a task that needs to be completed." Nadette glanced at Beta and said with a smile, "It just so happens that we have a new companion, so let's get along." Lord Cook, you will be assigned to the third squad. ”
With the beta, there are twenty-two people here, divided into four groups. The first and fourth groups are all five, and the second and third groups are all six, because they add two spellcasters in Beta and Perth, respectively.
In the concept of ordinary people, although magicians are powerful, many times, they need the protection of others in order to exert 100% strength.
So in both teams, there are shield warriors.
Beta's third squad, there is a person who Beta is a little interested in, Heidi. Her rating is LV8, second only to Berserker Arnold.
The city lord walked to the throne and spread out the map that had been placed there in front of him: "According to the news we have received, Archbishop Payne is about to leave our Echo City and prepare to go to the Sanctuary to meet the Holy Maiden, and our mission is to kill him in the suburbs. Payne's strength is quite good, and he has connections in the Holy Domain, and he has a certain appeal to the middle and lower level priests, if he dies, the Holy Maiden Sect will definitely not be hit small. It's a great thing for us. ”
None of them spoke, but listened quietly.
The lord of the city, Nadette, quietly looked at Beta with the rest of his eyes, and although the action was very hidden, Beta still found out, but he pretended not to know anything.
"When Payne is out of the city, I will inform you, now please go back to your room and rest, don't leave the City Lord's Mansion."
While Beta was waiting for the city lord to assign a room to her, Heidi walked over, her voice was deeper than that of ordinary women, but it was actually quite nice: "Lord Cook, now you are a member of our third squad, please come with us." ”
Beta turned to look at the city lord, and when he saw him nod, she followed Heidi.
Nadette looked back at the map on the table, and after a while, Arnold walked up to him and said, "You trusted that little guy so quickly?" ”
"No, that's why I let Heidi look at him." The city lord Na Tunte did not raise his head, and continued: "The timing of his arrival is too coincidental, just when we are preparing to act, I don't know if it is a coincidence. Send someone to Lago, check if there's really a guy named Cook Green, and try to bring the news back within five days. ”
Arnold nodded: "No problem...... But I think you're too suspicious. ”
"Be cautious, it's always good."
The third floor of the Castle Lord's Mansion...... Heidi led Beta to a large room, pointed around, and said, "This is the rest room of our third squad, as well as the assembly room. There are a lot of empty rooms around, so you can just find a room to stay in. ”
The large room, apparently built to the specifications of the hall, contained a large dining table with lots of fruit and pastries, as well as some very comfortable chairs and furniture.
The rest of the five members of the third team were all in this large room, and a young man came over, with a little temptation in his eyes, and asked, "Your Excellency Cook, you are a dragon vein warlock, you must also be a dragon power, can you show us." ”
The others were also full of curiosity.
"So?"
The beta nobleman's momentum and talent opened, and Mo Ming's impact and pressure suddenly appeared, the young man who rushed over to test him, his body bent, and he almost knelt down, and the others were far away, the problem was not big, but it was also uncomfortable, Heidi was the least affected, after all, she had a level of LV8, but she also felt uncomfortable.
The tempting young man was called Robben, and he struggled to resist Beta's momentum, and there was a begging for mercy in his eyes.
Beta accepted it when he saw it, and the other party was now his teammate, and he made the relationship completely stiff at the beginning, which was not good.
With no heavy pressure in the air, Robben straightened up, smiled awkwardly, and returned to his position.
Heidi patted Beta on the back and said approvingly, "Okay, boy, this hand alone will give you an advantage in battle." ”
"It's over." Beta smiled shyly: "I lack actual combat ability, and I am easy to panic when I really fight, so please guide me a lot." ”
"Pretty humble." Heidi took Beta's hand and said with a pun: "I like a good boy like you, do you want me to help you choose a room." ”
Beta hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I'll just come by myself." ”
Everyone laughed, and Heidi was laughing too, and she let go of Beta's hand, a hint of discoloration flashing in her eyes.
Beta then chose a room and lay down to rest.
Heidi chatted with the rest of her teammates in the big room for a while, and then returned to her room as if nothing had happened. But she didn't rest, but opened the window lightly, jumped down, and when she landed on the second floor, the tip of her leg gently hooked the upper lattice of the second window, and the whole person swung into the room on the second floor.
This is a study room, and the lord of the city, Nadette, is in it to deal with government affairs.
Heidi landed lightly on the ground, saluted slightly, and said, "City Lord, that Cook, it's not simple. ”
"It's not simple, let's talk about it." Nadette looked up.
"First of all, it's absolutely true that he's a nobleman." Heidi smiled and said, "I shook his hand just now, it is more delicate than your daughter's hand, there is no callus at all, smooth like a girl, which shows that he has never done heavy work and has never held a weapon." ”
Nadai nodded: "He does have a sense of nobility and nobility, there is no problem with that." ”
Heidi continued: "Just now he also showed the dragon power, although it is far less than an adult dragon, but it is not to be underestimated, the dragon vein warlock, he really did not lie. ”
"Go on."
Heidi took a light breath: "But this person is very good at hiding his thoughts, and he is also very good at acting. Just now I took his hand and deliberately seduced him, but he rejected me and seemed very innocent. If I hadn't noticed that the pulsations in his wrists had increased significantly, his body temperature had increased, and there were signs of slight bulging in the lower gear, I would have been deceived by him. He is very good at acting. ”
Nadette pondered, "It's not too strange, after all, all the nobles can act, including me. Did you find anything else? ”
"I don't think he's coming for your daughter." Heidi said with a strange expression: "I really don't understand, why would a dragon vein warlock, or a nobleman, come here to mingle with us mercenaries and serve you?" He should not be short of money. ”
Nadette thought Heidi's idea was funny: "If he is interested in my daughter, he can propose marriage in person, there is no need to do more." ”
"Because he is not famous, and he should not be from a big family." Heidi shrugged: "I have never heard of the Green family, but the city lord, your surname 'Page', as long as you are a nobleman of the French country, will not feel unfamiliar." His dragon vein bloodline should be an atavistic phenomenon, so he feels that he is not worthy of your daughter, so he found this method to come over, wanting to show his strength and tell you that he has great potential. ”
Nadette smiled, smiling happily: "Actually, I admire your ability to think wildly, I think Cook came to me with some intention, but definitely not for my daughter." ”
"What's that for?"
Nadette spread his hands: "I don't know, but I asked people to go to Lagoa County to check, and they should receive the news in five days." ”
"Then I'm going to keep an eye on him?" Heidi continued.
Nadette shook his head: "Since the other party is so good at acting, he must be very smart, forget it, don't test him, just treat him as a member of the team for the time being, take good care of him." As long as it takes a long time, no matter what he attempts, he will show his feet. We respond to change with the same. ”
