Chapter Forty-Seven: Closer

After receiving the expected security from the Bapti Knight, the players set off on their way early the next morning. Leaving the metropolis, the 'Bloodstained Grey' mercenary group soon stepped onto the flat avenue shrouded in dead branches.

Along the way, Barrett carefully watched the passing merchants, and every moving object in his sight drew his eyes to look intentlyβ€”although the words of the Bapti knight were indeed reassuring, Barrett did not think that his own party could be taken lightly. Because the possibility of being small does not mean that there is none, any risk of winning the bid needs to be avoided.

"Cheer up all of them, haven't they all rested for so long yesterday? Why are they all listless? After pulling the reins to stop his progress, Barrett, who turned around, waved his whip and asked.

Rieli, who reached out and yawned, finally moved her neck: "It's rare to come to the metropolis, you should always leave us some time to shop and press the road!" ”

"Hah! That's it! Claudia also began to heckle on the sidelines at this time. Even Clematis was shaking his head from time to time at the moment, obviously not in much better shape.

Seeing the attitude of the three of them who were not afraid of boiling water, Barrett really couldn't do anything about them: "Anyway, wait and be careful, otherwise there will be nowhere to reason if your head is different." ”

"Barrett, you just like to be so suspicious." Rielly waved her hand first, and then, as if she was awake, tilted her head and stared at Barrett with a smile and asked, "Instead of worrying about this, why don't you tell us about that aboriginal uncle, who was selling you his daughter yesterday!" Otherwise, when you come back, why would you suddenly ask the guys from the merchant house to inquire about the little girl named Clarice? ”

Barrett, who was uncomfortable with Clarice's squinting eyes, then heard the catboy complain: "14 years old! I'm not even 14 years old! Barrett, you lolicon. ”

"Do you duo need to sing and harmonize like this?" Barrett, who really couldn't stand it, roared loudly, "And don't say things that are so easy to misunderstand, okay!" Mr. Jodok merely asked me to see the friendship between the two sides, and to help me in case something happened. How can you two think so complicated? ”

When refuting, Barrett showed twelve points of momentum, in addition to suppressing the mage woman who sang and harmonized, he also wanted to prevent Clematis and Claudia from participating in the discussion. Otherwise, if it really becomes a gossip conference, Barrett may be invincible with two fists and four hands. On the contrary, the two men, Anvil and Noodles, were not very interested in gossip, and in Barrett's eyes, they naturally became security people.

Unfortunately, all this did not develop according to Barrett's expectations, and Clematis completely ignored Barrett's wide eyes and joined the battle: "Please take care of this itself, to a certain extent, you are entrusting her daughter with her life." It's just that the gentleman is afraid of scaring you, so he changed the more euphemistic language to test it! ”

"Don't just make it up! And there is a big cultural difference between the East and the West, don't mess with the formula! Barrett retorted with a look of despair.

"Tsk! Tut! Tut! Who knows if you pretend to resist on the surface, but whether you are happy in your heart. Rielly, who fired again, gently scratched her chin with her fingers, "Yesterday, after you inquired about that little girl, I went to find that little girl. Although the contours of the face are average, the skin is indeed tender enough to pinch water? I really didn't expect a crazy girl to have such a good quality, I want to take a bite of such beautiful meat! I don't believe you're not tempted......"

"Yikes! Lulu taps. Before Rielly could finish speaking, her graceful little waist was attacked by a cat's claw. Immediately, the slightly intoxicated and slightly obscene expression was also squeezed together under the stimulation of the pain nerves.

Barrett, who watched this farce, shook his head: "I'm not a stallion in heat, and I pounce on a pretty girl when I see it." And Mr. Joddock would not let me marry his daughter, because he was the right person. If Barrett, the character in the game, was still indigenous, perhaps the two of them would have had an ordinary marriage. But now that this figure has worked hard to officially enter the list of key cultivators of the Earl of Boreham, Mr. Joddock may already feel that such a marriage may not be a good thing. ”

The family is not just talking, even if it is a high marriage and a low marriage, there is a certain limit. Because marriage is not just a matter of two people, it is more related to two families and even involves a certain degree of social perception. Don't look at the parents of those idle women, it seems that there is nothing, but sometimes the pressure brought by rumors and rumors is definitely beyond the imagination of the unexperienced. It is precisely because he really loves his daughter that Mr. Jodok will definitely try to avoid this situation as much as possible.

"So what are your plans for the second generation? Looking for an aboriginal in the game, or are you going to hook up with a female gamer? Realizing that the previous shells were not producing the results she wanted, Rielly switched angles and fired again.

Barrett touched his chin: "I'm just a working boy!" The second generation naturally prioritizes high attributes, and if there are suitable aborigines, I am actually unlikely to refuse. As for hooking up with a female player or something, it may involve reality, so you need to think carefully. Anyway, you two don't have to worry about this, so just look at my jokes. ”

"That's right! Do you have any plans for those two young ladies? Barrett, who really couldn't find a counterattack plan, immediately led to trouble.

Clematis said naturally: "What else can I do, follow the feeling!" If there are Aboriginal people who feel good, I personally don't mind what happens. As for the player, forget it, there will be trouble in reality. If you haven't felt it, whether it's adoption or other means, you should be able to make some adjustments with credits! ”

"I'm talking about the same as Ties! After all, in marriage, the family will generally arrange it. So it's okay to play with the aborigines, and it's better to keep a little distance from the player. Claudia nodded in agreement.

The so-called virtual romance is, to put it bluntly, an illusory game, and in reality, as long as people with a normal brain will not take this kind of thing seriously. It's like a man playing harem games and reading harem novels in reality. Girls,Naturally, they also have their own reverse harem and women's series.。 It's like in the Middle Ages, some men spent more than krypton money for 'ship women', and women in the same period probably spent more money on 'knife men'. As long as you are not so brain-dead that you can't distinguish between fantasy and reality, the impact on the family is not too great.

Even if the two eldest ladies in the team are not from wealthy families, they definitely have unusual family backgrounds. Generally speaking, being born in such a family is both a good thing and a bad thing. You have enjoyed all kinds of conditions brought by the family that are better than ordinary people, and naturally you need to take on certain responsibilities.

Therefore, they must resist further contact with players who do not know the details, but they do not exclude some romantic things to happen with the aborigines if they have the opportunity - the elite education from an early age makes them understand what can be done and what cannot be messed with.

"It's really a very rational opinion!" Barrett glanced at the two ladies with a little admiration, "But it is said that love is something that can't be stopped no matter how it comes." I hope you will be able to keep your senses in the future! ”

"We're not like some people who don't feel comfortable without a big news." When Claudia said this, she also subconsciously glanced at Rielly.

Hearing this, Barrett glanced thoughtfully at the mages in the group. The latter then turned his head away, completely devoid of his previous aggressive attitude. And because of such a big debate, several ladies who were originally in poor spirits have swept away that exhaustion - I have to say that for some people, gossip is the best stimulant. Barrett, who is back on the road, has finally relaxed his worries about the road ahead.

For the rest of his journey, Barrett was on the lookout for possible surprises. Fortunately, except for the occasional traffic jam on the road, everything is going well - autumn is the harvest season, and it is a busy season. The grain in the fields has already been harvested, but the farmers are only halfway through their busy days, and they need to prepare for the winter.

At the same time, the various products harvested also had to be transported by caravans to where they were needed, and the various manor villages were exchanged for the necessities of life that they could not produce on their own. Therefore, in the period before the beginning of winter, the trade of the western continent is particularly busy. And on this main road connecting the cities of Karada and Poitou, there is a constant flow of people coming and going.

In this case, even the slightest accident can cause a long traffic jam. And according to the craftsmanship of this time and space, as well as the maintenance of the caravan. It is absolutely impossible for the axles of a carriage to be 100% problem-free. But if one of the wagons broke down in the middle of the road, the whole team could be stuck there. And then it wasn't just their own team that was affected.

Therefore, in what used to take only three days to complete, the Bloodstained Grey Flower team walked for five days to see the walls of Shafir. However, it seems that it is also because of the dense flow of people on the trade route that it is difficult for dangerous elements who are watching Barrett's party to make a move--on the one hand, because they are worried that there are too many witnesses to deal with, and on the other hand, they are worried that the target of the pursuit will be difficult to find in the crowd.

As one of the player's earliest origins, Shafir City also has a special meaning for the three men, as it is the place where they met and the place where the team was born. It's a pity that no matter how many feelings you have, you can't beat the drive of interests. A small town like Safir can't help the player much at all. And Barrett hurried to visit the militia captain who had taken care of him at the earliest, and then hurried on the road.

Also as the southernmost settlement of Boreham Territory, as long as you enter Shafir City, players will naturally enter the jurisdiction of Boreham Territory. Barrett, who was finally free from the possible threat, was finally greatly relieved at this time. In his eyes, it seemed that even the clouds in the sky had become cute.

After a quick bite of a hot meal in the town, the players whip up their horses and continue on their way. Depending on the darkness of the city, if you hurry up, you'll have a chance to reach your final destination before the gates of Poitu City close.

The player who is constantly wielding the whip rises and falls in the running of the mount. And with the destination just around the corner, Clematis's thoughts immediately came alive: "Barrett! Have you ever wondered what to do with the contributions of the Church of the Lord of Justice? You must know that resources are a waste if they are left idle! ”

"4,000 points contribution, are you going to eat them all?" Barrett, who didn't look back, touched his chin with his hand hanging the horsewhip, "If that's the case, it's going to cost a lot of money!" And you have to ask everyone's opinions. ”

"4,000 points to contribute, Barrett, you're probably alone, and you'll have to account for half of it. Rest assured! When have I made you suffer in this regard? "Klaymatis," 1 contribution point for 3.5 credits. I think it's definitely the highest ratio in the game."

"Eat it all in one go?" This time, Barrett was finally shocked to turn around, "What has the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' Church made in the recent past?" Wrong! Even if it's a big move, it shouldn't be bad for you. ”

"Barrett, don't be so conspiracy theory every time, okay. Even in normal times, our church has long repurchased the contributions of the Church of the Just. After all, there are a lot of rare special scrolls that can only be obtained from them. And in some cities, we also need their cooperation to be able to really stand firm. Clematis then asked, "Whether it will be sold or not, you can just give us a word." I don't think the rest of us should have any opinions. ”

"Sell, why don't you sell!" Barrett, who said this, nodded, "But judging from your words, can I doubt that your church is in trouble with Repulse City, and needs the cooperation of the Lord of the Notary to ensure its influence?" ”

Hearing this, Clematis glared at Barrett angrily: "It's all said, don't think nonsense." If it's really that kind of big thing, it shouldn't be bad for us to make this little contribution. It was all a deal between two church leaders. With the strength of our church, we can always come up with those old stubborn conditions that cannot be refused. (To be continued.) )
