Chapter 103: Cooperation

"It's hard to say whether it's a Hongmen banquet or not, but I'm afraid it's indispensable to give us a dismount." Barrett touched his chin, "But the meeting place was the tavern we passed by." In such a short period of time, they can't think of any powerful traps. ”

"It's hard to say, if that tavern is the other party's property, maybe there will be a mechanism waiting for us that has been idle for a long time!" Rielly had a big brain at this time, and immediately proposed a possibility.

Barrett, who felt that this statement sounded a little reasonable, nodded, after all, there are many things to do in the shadows of this world. Take the specially designed secret rooms that are found in many taverns, for example! Although they are often rented at a higher price for guests with special needs, many pubs still have untrustworthy pre-set channel equipment for eavesdropping.

This should be the kind of thing that should be able to talk about confidential topics without worrying about the information obtained in the environment where the walls are heard. Generally speaking, as long as you find a buyer, you can often sell it for a good price. There are many people who are willing to sell their souls to the devil in front of gold, and it is no wonder that some innkeepers do not abide by professional ethics.

Although such a clear breach of contract is often carried out with great care. They don't eavesdrop on every conversation in the secret room, and only use well-hidden eavesdropping devices when they feel it's really profitable.

But since the news is going to be exchanged for gold coins, it will leave traces to some extent. Although the bitter master who has been leaked will often find the wrong direction, it is still possible to find the door. Once such rumors appeared. A secret room that can't be kept secret is bound to bring that hotel to a disrepute. At the same time, the victim retaliates. There is even the possibility of bloodshed, which can be said to occur from time to time on the western continent. The adventurers who were miserable can be said to have no scruples about revenge.

Because of this, the overall reputation of taverns and inns is often not very good. Even if you don't get to the car, the boat, the shop, the feet, and the teeth, you should be killed if you are not guilty. But once there is any rumor, ordinary people will inevitably think in that direction - of course, in contrast, a century-old store in a big city is usually more reliable. On the one hand, it is because the big cities are more tightly regulated about this kind of thing. On the other hand, it is also because the longer the smooth inheritance, the less the other party is secretly moving.

Clematis suddenly proposed, "How about having the other party arrange the meeting place in the lobby of the tavern?" Normally, no one will set any traps in the lobby! ”

The lobby of the tavern was crowded with people, and no one could be sure that they would not trigger the mechanism that had been set up. So look at it normally. Very few people will be able to do anything in this area - not to mention the amount of effort it takes, and there is a good chance that it will show its feet.

"But who knows if the other side will accept our offer? What's more, the messenger who had sent him left after delivering the message. Even if we wanted to bargain with him, we didn't have a way to get in touch. Barrett frowned and hesitated, "I really don't know if I should go or not." ”

After a moment of silence in the room, Rielly was the first to speak: "I think it's hard to have a local force take the initiative to contact us, at least once." Besides, the previous conflict actually doesn't prove anything! ”

"Although the other party may not have a direct connection with the evacuation of the 'Veil of Night', it does not mean that they have not peeked into the wealth in this temple." Klaimatis suddenly reminded at this time, "So before I am not sure where he stands. There is still a lot of risk if we go in such a hurry. ”

"Anyway, have you ever thought about it? Since the other party has blatantly sent the letter to the temple, how will the Reverend Gatsby react? After listening to the somewhat conflicting views of the two ladies, Barrett suddenly began to pay attention to an important factor that had been overlooked by the players.

After all, Pastor Gatsby made a very bad impression during these two days of interaction. So much so that the blood-stained gray flowers do not regard them as a negotiable party. However, he is the current leader of the Temple of Winterspring after all, and he is also an important collaborator in this mission. If the cooperation can go smoothly, it will be beneficial for both parties.

If Pastor Gatsby had reacted to the news, he might still be a partner to work with. If he still lets himself go, let's arrange the back road first! Speaking of this, Clematis stroked the emblem in his hand: "Perhaps I can report the situation here to the priests in Walkerson City through the strange objects in the prayer room." It's up to them to decide if there's a need to stick here. ”

"Hey! Feed! Feed! Clematis, you're too radical! Rielly was visibly resistant to Clematis's proposal, "Doesn't this completely offend the local faction in the temple?" If Walkerson asks us to stick to it, how can we continue to work together? ”

Claudia couldn't help but complain at this time: "It's really bad to meet such a pig teammate." How exactly did he get to where he is now? ”

"Don't forget that this is the 'Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce', and prudent businessmen who are not at the top may not be suitable clergy. It's just that his ability is not suitable for the current situation, and the high-level who should really come out to deal with this situation is not there. At this point, Barrett still couldn't help but sigh.

Just when the blood-stained gray flowers were having a headache for this matter. Reverend Gatsby was also walking up and down his house, and he was as agitated as a wolf at four o'clock in the afternoon in a zoo: "How come! How could the guy at the dock suddenly send a letter in for them? Could it be that the porters are also playing with our idea here? Wrong! Wrong! If all the porters were outsiders, there was a possibility. But most of them are local residents, and if they do this kind of thing, they will definitely implicate their families......"

Pastor Gatsby may feel like a wretched, but he is still the temporary head of the temple. And he has worked at Winterspring Town Church for so many years. With his identity and friendship, he was still able to influence the remaining temple guards. So there's something going on in the temple. He was still able to get some news in time.

In this world, there is rarely a saying that wives and children are not harmed. No matter how hard the 'True Virgins' of the good camp try. Such naΓ―ve values are also difficult to remove from the minds of most intelligent beings. Not to mention that even if that statement is echoed by the ruling class in some areas and becomes law, there will still be a series of problems in the process of implementation.

So even if there was an organized incitement, the workers on the docks might not be willing to take action against the temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. People are living well, why do they do such a life-saving thing. The porters who had already made their home in Winterspring were more likely to snitch directly upon receiving the news - no matter how much control their leader, Yodel, could not guarantee that such a thing would never happen.

Pastor Gatsby, who was always quiet when he walked around, had that struggle on his face! But eventually, as if he had figured something out, he sighed and said, "I'd better go talk to Pastor Bott!" These young people just don't make people feel at ease. ”

Pastor Gatsby, who is only middle-aged. At this moment, I really have the idea of going home to retire - after joining the Goddess of Wealth and Business Church, he has been diligently undertaking the business, and he always feels that he has not been as tired as he has been in the past 20 years. Obviously, this Gatsby reverend is used to it, and he has never been a person who can take charge on his own.

Still, out of fear of the unknown, Pastor Gatsby made up his mind to step out of the room. He was going to talk to the reinforcements from Walkerson and see what they were trying to do. There is also the need to find out what the relationship between these outsiders and the yodel on the docks is.

Of course, it was impossible for him to knock on the doors of the players one by one at this time, so for the sake of decency, he arranged for his servants to lead the blood-stained gray flowers to the meeting room. Also because of his cautious character, Pastor Gartzby still asked in a roundabout way after seeing Barrett and his party: "I didn't expect that all of you from Walkerson would have friends in Wintersprings!" If I had known that this was the case, I should have invited him to join me at yesterday's banquet. ”

"Friends?" Players who heard this were stunned for a moment. Immediately, Clematis understood what he was referring to: "If Pastor Gatsby is referring to the letter you just had, it is just an invitation from a gentleman whom he has never met. The aim seems to be to explain the conflict that has arisen between the two sides not long ago. ”

"You had a conflict with that yodel on the docks?" Hearing this, Pastor Gatsby was slightly surprised. But the hanging heart was a little lowered. Although he is still not sure that what the players are telling is the truth, since Klaimatis has taken the initiative to dissociate himself from the yodele, it means that the other party has no intention of turning his face directly.

You must know that in Pastor Gatsby's mind, there was once a picture of the other party suddenly turning his face and controlling himself under his own inquiry. Under the tremendous pressure now, even the reinforcements sent by the main temple of Walkerson were too nervous for him to fully believe it.

"It's not a conflict with him, it's just that we've had some friction with the adventurers he hired when we're looking for the Veil of Night stronghold today......," Clematis then gave a brief account of what had happened.

"The stronghold of the Veil of Night left half a month ago?" Pastor Gartzby was shocked, and then confessed, "We had just received the news that the church had failed. In particular, the news of the death of several adults made the whole temple chaotic. After finally stabilizing, the entire town of Winter Springs fell into a strange atmosphere. Add to that the fact that the rest of us haven't dealt with the Veil of the Night, and although we know that we have such neighbors around, we really don't know that they have left at that time. ”

From Pastor Gatsby's words, it is not difficult to know that communication with the 'Veil of Night' in the Temple of Winterspring is the responsibility of a special person. It's a pity that he went to the Al Snow Mountain with the team this time, and finally died tragically in the snow field of the forest sea. As a result, the channel of communication between the two churches was severed.

And Barrett, who learned the inside story, immediately scolded in his heart: "How can such contacts be transferred all at once." Even if you want to be transferred, at least you have to explain the relevant business clearly to the people who stay! It stands to reason that a slightly more formal organization would not have such a big oolong. Not to mention this kind of megachurch that has been passed down for thousands of years! Could it be that there is some hidden factor behind this? ’

The more he learned, the more he felt that there was a lot of fog in it. Although it is also possible that it is simply an accident caused by human error. But until he gets a definite answer, Barrett can't help but think about it.

"We believe that the evacuation of the stronghold of the 'Veil of Night' must be a harbinger of some danger." Speaking of this, Kleimatis began to tell his opinion, "At the same time, Yodel who arranged for someone to spy on there knows at least some inside story. So after he sent the invitation, we were ready to go. By the way, let's see if we can find any useful information. ”

Pastor Gartzby was still a little hesitant: "Do you want to get any news from that yodel?" However, the situation in Dongquan Town is very complicated now, and you rashly contact each other, I don't know if it will cause any changes! ”

"As things stand, we don't think we have a better choice. Speaking of yodel, could Pastor Gartzby introduce us to the ruler of the docks in Wintersprings? Clematis asked very seriously: "Whether we want to meet with each other later, it is always good for us to have more news of him." Whether it's an enemy or a possible ally next, we must be prepared. ”

"That yodel is a legend in our Wintersprings as well. When he came here alone, no one would have imagined that he would be the de facto master of the docks. Pastor Gatsby, who seemed to be thinking about something, said with emotion.

Hearing this, Rieli exclaimed, "Wait! You say that yodel is a foreigner? How did he, a foreigner, do this, this is obviously not logical! (To be continued.) )
