Looking at the three female compatriots who were fighting, Barrett coughed lightly and said, "If you have anything to say, I don't think anyone likes to be a monkey show here!" ”

The three women who heard this immediately stopped their movements, and after turning their heads to look at their surroundings, they immediately adjusted their uniforms and posed as ladies. It's a pity that after the 'show' just now, the pedestrians on the street will definitely not agree with the subsequent remedy of a few ladies.

Feeling the strange gaze, they immediately stepped forward and pushed Barrett into the 'Traveler's House', and at this moment the thin-skinned nature of women was vividly manifested - but Barrett could never guess why they were so thick-skinned at some point that they were as thick as a city wall.

Entering the room and closing the door, after shutting out possible prying eyes from the outside world, Barrett asked, "How many?" No matter what kind of trouble you're getting into? Now I'll tell me honestly, and I'll see if I can help with the aftermath! ”

"Don't listen to the two of them, what kind of magic do you think we can provoke like this?" Rielly, who pulled directly over a chair, widened her apricot eyes in protest.

Barrett touched his chin, then squinted at the biggest instability in the team in front of him: "You really don't have anything left for me to help clean up?" Don't wait until we're out and there, and then someone I don't know will suddenly come and look for trouble. ”

"Nope! We haven't been in trouble since we parted with you this time! Rielly's tone was firm, and even after some observation, Barrett couldn't see any flaws in her.

However, Rieli obviously has no talent for being a lawyer, and such a language game is too low-level. For the performance of the dead pig of the lady in front of her who is not afraid of boiling water. Barrett had to ask directly: "I haven't taken the initiative to get into trouble, which means I've still encountered trouble." And when I was in contact in reality before, what was the conflict with the caravan! And Safir's City is only a day's journey at most! How did you walk for three days? Don't tell me you're all on the way! ”

However, what Barrett didn't expect was that at this time, it was the halfling wanderer who had always been at odds with Rielly who took over the conversation and relieved Rielly: "You don't need to worry about that caravan Barrett. Like the kind of guy who dares to play word games and break the contract in the middle of the contract, none of them can really make it big. We don't have to worry about the threat from them at all. ”

"Let's be honest! What is it because of the delay for so long? This kind of thing is not so easy to prevaricate. As he spoke, Barrett shifted his gaze from Rielly to Noodles.

Noodles looked at Rielly, then said, "Remember the guys we fought when we were on a mission in Karada City?" ”

"You're saying the reason for the delay is because of the Scarlet Hand? Because of the previous invasion of the lower planes, they are not to mention in the Duchy of Norhan. Even in the entire Western Continent, everyone shouts and fights. I didn't expect to dare to appear in public now. But as he spoke, Barrett felt that something was wrong, "You can't be looking for a scapegoat!" Since it's the guys of the 'Scarlet Hand', what else is there to say in front of me? ”

Because of the division in front of the bloodstained Gray Flower team, apart from Noodles, only Barrett has had a conflict with the organization called the 'Scarlet Hand'. Not to mention the rest, the two eldest ladies, even Rielly and Lalu joined later. There was no intersection with that criminal gang before. It can be said that if there is some trouble in this regard. Barrett is definitely not immune to it.

"That's because, that's because someone in the tavern promoted our previous achievements in the tavern in order to compete for a mission. As a result, the potential members of the Crimson Hand were attracted to the vicinity. Noodle paused slightly, "But the lurking guys didn't attack right away, but organized the men to wait until we finished our mission and started to ambush Poitou." Time is really delayed. ”

'Competing for a task?' I think it's for my own vanity to brag in the tavern! Although this practice is very common among adventurers, and it does help to compete for tasks...... Barrett, who thought of this, could understand why they were reluctant to say it clearly, because it was because of the trouble caused by good face.

But Barrett, who wasn't going to expose them, brushed his hair and asked, "Since you've been pestered by those guys for days." So tell me about the specifics of your fight against them! What is the general strength of the personnel they sent, is there a legal system in the composition, and has the weapons and equipment changed compared to what they encountered in Poitu before? ”

Barrett's sudden and serious speech made the other companions present quite uncomfortable. Hearing this, Rielly's eyes suddenly lit up: "Barrett's situation." Are you going to take us back for a reward? ”

"Revenge! Avenge! We've been so damn these days that we've been making it hard to sleep, so we have to get a good breath. "A plate of Claudia. Auditore clenched his fist directly.

"Wait! Who said I was going to take you with you for revenge? I'm gathering intelligence! Barrett quickly patted his forehead, "You must know that the 'Scarlet Hand' is an organization that is openly wanted by the Nohan Kingdom and many churches. Their sudden appearance in Boreham territory and their public action are definitely not a trivial matter. This information will definitely get a good reward from the Earl! ”

"Barrett, you don't think those guys have any conspiracy in Boreham's territory, do you!" Rieli apparently scoffed at Barrett's words, "If that's the case, isn't it a surprise that they're sending someone to trouble us?" As an organization, if there really is any plan. I don't think I would do such an irrational thing! ”

"Wait! Perhaps Barrett has some truth in what he said. The Crimson Hand guys didn't reveal themselves when they attacked us. If I hadn't fought their special classes before, I wouldn't have been able to identify them in the first place! Noodle said as he held out his finger. And Rieli shouldn't underestimate the control of the 'Scarlet Hand' over his subordinates. It is already the norm for subordinates to go out on their own initiative and dare to work privately. As long as it affects the organization's plans, most of the cases are even blind to it. ”

However, the halfling's words made Barrett begin to doubt his previous speculation. I saw him frowning and touching his chin and muttering, "Is it just a conclusion reached through the battle with the "Wild Fist"? That's not a lot of evidence! ”

The 'Scarlet Hands' organization is known for its "Savage Fist" class. However, this does not mean that the Savage Fist profession is only inherited within the Crimson Hand organization - in fact, it is a complete system of true esoteric traditions. It's simply not the turn of a small organization like the Scarlet Hand to take control. With a similar fighting style and a similar warrior monk class, even the Boreham family can come up with more than one.

On the other hand, the "Savage Fist" is stronger than the orthodox warrior monk school in terms of striking power. However, it is inferior in attack speed and size. It can be said that the overall versatility is slightly worse. It's just that this profession is very compatible with the style and business of the 'Scarlet Hand', and it has established a great reputation in the hands of this organization.

Seeing Barrett's appearance, Rielly immediately explained: "It's not just the combatants, we found the 'Scarlet Hand' tattoo on the corpse of those guys!" Combined with our previous behavior in the tavern, we have come to this conclusion. ”

"In that case, I'm afraid I don't have much time to rest." As he said this, Barrett suddenly got up and straightened up his appearance. "I'm going to the city hall right away, and I can't afford to delay this kind of thing."

"You're going to use the power of the authorities to deal with those guys." Claymatis. Bot held out his finger as he spoke.

Barrett, who turned around, smiled and shook his head: "Don't talk about me like an old fox." You know, I'm just doing my duty as a law-abiding citizen, and I'm just getting some information money from the town hall. ”

After saying this, Barrett immediately opened the door and walked out, and the situation really caught the companions in the house a little off guard. Before he could come to his senses, Noodle stretched out his finger and pointed to the creaking, swaying door and asked, "I remember Barrett didn't seem to be like this before!" ”

"Did you get some kind of stimulation during the solo operation?" Rielly stroked her cheek with a wicked smile.

At this moment, Barrett's head suddenly poked in through the door again: "Don't say anything cool behind your back." And then this time, I'm going to educate you. Don't be bound by your past experience and face the 'Scarlet Hand', a wanted criminal who has become a rat crossing the street. After confirming the identity of the other party, he immediately went to the temple of the nearest good camp to report. That might be better than the hard work you have to do. ”

With that, Barrett swept his gaze over his companions in the room, and quickened his pace of departure with satisfaction with their quail-like reaction. Then Noodle came out of the room with some trepidation, and was relieved to make sure that Barrett had completely left him who was not in the hallway.

The halfling wanderer turned around with palpitations: "Have you noticed that Barrett who met this time has become more imposing than before!" ”

"Listening to what you say, it feels like that's right!" Rielly said, tilting her head and tapping her finger to her chin.

At this time, the cat boy suddenly returned to his natural side: "That's right! That aura is indeed stronger! Could it be that the increase in the level of the characters actually has an impact on this aspect? ”

"I think it's probably the confidence that comes from completing difficult tasks! From a psychological point of view...... "But not yet. As soon as Bot finished speaking, his companions began to go about their business.

On the other hand, as a frequent visitor to the town hall during this time (the Earl of Boreham deliberately took him to mingle with him), Barrett was ushered in by the doorman as soon as he arrived at the door of the town hall. By the time he came to the Earl's office. The adult put down the document he was reading.

"That's my lord, my companion has encountered a suspected member of the 'Scarlet Hand' within the range of Saffy City to Poitou......" Barrett, who had already organized his language on the way. Immediately began to go around with the news he had received from his companions.

After listening to Barrett's story, the Earl of Boreham played with the ring on his middle finger: "But just based on the content you provided, you still can't conclude that those guys are members of the 'Scarlet Hand'!" ”

"My lord! That's why I just said that it was a member activity that is suspected of being a member of the 'Scarlet Hand'! Barrett's expression became a little serious when he said this, "But it doesn't matter if those guys are real members of the 'Scarlet Hand', or if they deliberately pretend to be members of the 'Scarlet Hand' to mislead others' eyes. These sneaky guys definitely have some kind of conspiracy in Boreham's territory. So we can't afford to let it go. ”

"You're finally a bit of what you should be as a member of House Boreham now." The Earl of Boram nodded with great satisfaction, and then became a little hesitant: "But the attack of those guys in the wilderness, will it be a deliberate flaw to attract the attention of the authorities?" At this time, if we send the army to pull the net and search it with great fanfare. Will it fall into their trap? ”

Regarding the Earl's inconsistent performance from before, Barrett couldn't hear the hint in his words: "Lord Earl! Since it is not appropriate to send troops. Then let's go and find out first! ”

"You're willing to do this, it's really a problem for me!" The Earl of Boreham said with a smile on his face.

That's too deliberate! If I'm not mistaken. The Burham family's intelligence network is very thorough. How could something like this not come to ......' Despite some grumbling in his heart, Barrett still expressed his loyalty: "It is my honor to be the sword in your hand. (To be continued)
