3. Wait for you for three minutes
The Mordeg Collar has not become much more prosperous or clean because of the past four months.
Blackstone Town is still a small town, and it's still so dirty and messy, but Sean, who has already been here once, is of course mentally prepared for a long time, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. And Alfred and Rena are both mercenaries, what kind of environment haven't they experienced? Not to mention that Rena used to do the hardest and most tiring dirty work with that mercenary group, even Alfred, the three years of revenge were not a good life, so of course there would be nothing wrong with these two people about the situation in Blackstone Town.
This time, Sean did not deliberately dress very plainly, his upper body was a narrow-sleeved white shirt, no lace - in fact, Sean tore all the lace, and wore a black leather jacket on the outside, the cuffs were half a nail piece shorter than the cuffs of the white shirt, and the lower body was a pair of black trousers, a pair of leather pointed-toe boots, and a pair of white gloves on both hands, the main purpose was to hide the curse mark on the back of the hand.
But anyway, Sean finally looks a little more aristocratic this time.
Charles's sword, Sean didn't have it with him anymore, he put it in the room of the Black Swan Castle, thinking about when he would go back to the Serian Kingdom again, and do this task about Charles's sword, although now it seems that the reward is probably impossible to interest him, but anyway, it's better than nothing.
Dead bones, he didn't wear them, but carried them on the horse beside him, and now his ball-like aristocratic dress was not very suitable for tying a long sword to his body.
Behind Sean are Alfred and Rena.
The weapons of the two men were also placed on the horses, but unlike Sean's ordinary horse, the horses that Rena and Alfred rode were war horses, not the kind of dozens of gold coins. It's a slightly higher-grade war horse with hundreds of gold coins. If it weren't for this kind of war horse, how could it support Alfred, a guy in heavy armor? However, the fangs of the Flame Lion were wrapped in canvas, mainly to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Compared to the caution that Alfred needed, Rena seemed much more relaxed, the horse she was holding in her hand was worth more than her light armor and the spear, so who wanted to trouble Rena.
However, the two horses, Rena and Alfred, were both stolen by Alfred from a heavy cavalry unit before. And it is said that the lord, who can afford to raise heavy cavalry, seems to have a good relationship with the Boulder family - of course. It was the relationship with the current head of the Boulder family, not with a little-known lord like Elsie, and as for whether the marquis still had a good relationship with the rest of the Boulder family, Sean didn't know.
All he knew was now, and now Blackstone Town was the same as when he came four months ago. It's a little different.
The Stone Mill is the most important facility in Blackstone.
However, this facility is not accessible to everyone. But there was never a dedicated guard in charge of guarding it. Most of the time. There will be special personnel responsible for the reception, of course, the premise is that you must be able to pass the old gatehouse of the stone factory, it is said that this old man is also a personal essence, and he used to be the big housekeeper of the Boulder family's main sect, but I don't know why Lu Dao offended the core disciples of the Boulder family, so he was sent here.
But the old man was strange. I've been staying here like this, and I've never thought about leaving.
But today, at the gate of the stone factory, there are actually ten uniformly dressed soldiers standing here guarding the door. And the situation inside the stone factory. It almost reached the level of five steps and one post and ten steps and one sentry, and it seems that it does not seem to have become orderly or strictly regulated, but more of a situation similar to repression, as if these soldiers were not used to defend against external enemies, but to the interior of the stone factory itself.
Sean's brow furrowed slightly, but he walked towards the stone mill anyway.
When several soldiers saw Sean and the others coming, they immediately blocked with their guns, and a man who looked like the captain swaggered up and shouted, "Who are you?" What do you want to do here at the Black Steel Stone Factory? ”
"Debt collection." Sean said lightly.
Several soldiers were slightly stunned, a little unclear about the meaning of these words.
However, the man who seemed to be the captain was not so presumptuous, maybe because of Sean's aristocratic dress, or maybe Alfred's heavy armor was scary enough, but no matter what the reason, the man's attitude was a little more polite: "If you have a conflict of interest with the Black Steel Stone Factory, then you can only go to the factory director." …… We'll only let you in alone, though, you two...... Companions are not allowed to enter. ”
Maybe he couldn't tell Sean's identity, and he didn't know the relationship between the two people behind Sean, so he changed his words to "companion". After all, for the nobles, the knights who canonized are indeed companions, not retinues, and few nobles will deny such trivial things, which is completely unavoidable with themselves.
"I'm not going in." Sean shook his head, his attitude was still as calm as ever, without too many ups and downs and fluctuations, "You let the factory director come out." ”
"This ......," the captain seemed a little embarrassed.
"My patience is limited."
Sean glanced at these soldiers, except for the captain in front of him, the strength of the others was just to the level of just stepping into the lower bronze, if people like this were gathered into a scale, they might be regarded as a second-level, at most third-level army, but at present, the scale of only ten people was only enough, in front of Alfred and Rena, it was not enough at all. Even if all the soldiers in the entire stone factory came out, Sean felt that it would be fifty people at most, barely able to form a marching formation, and it would probably not be beneficial for Alfred or Rena to deal with it alone, but it would not be a problem for the two of them to fight together.
The captain pondered for a moment, but then immediately turned and walked into the stone factory. The remaining soldiers looked at each other, and even their captain, who had always been very domineering, didn't dare to say anything excessive, how could someone like them, who was not as strong as that captain, dare to say anything? At this time, they were all a little panicked in their hearts, and they were afraid that this man who seemed to be a nobleman would suddenly find trouble with them, or if he wanted to break into this stone factory, should they stop them at that time?
Fortunately, Sean is not so vexatious. He just closed his eyes, but he said something terrifying: "In three minutes, if the factory director still doesn't come out, you can go in and arrest him." Whoever dares to stop them will be destroyed, and if they dare to take weapons, it doesn't matter if they are killed. ”
"Yes." Alfred said in a deep voice.
Rena smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but her smile made people feel even more chilled in their hearts.
Seeing Sean's attitude so serious, several soldiers glanced at each other. Finally, one of them couldn't help but run to the stone factory. Although Sean couldn't see it, his ears were still very sensitive, and the corners of Sean's mouth raised slightly when he heard the sound of rapid and panicked running.
The soldier ran in a hurry all the way. Soon came to the office of the stone factory.
This office used to be used by Dyce. It's just that now it's a different owner. A middle-aged man with a somewhat thin body, but a shrewd face.
At this moment, he was pouring two glasses of wine, one to the captain who came in to report, and the other was holding it in his hand, and first sniffed the wine. Then he took a sip and said with a smile: "This is an authentic red maple fruit wine, which has been broken for a long time since the accident in Panda Town." Recently, I heard that the place had stabilized, so I finally took out the remaining stock and sold it, but this stock is not much, and it took me a lot of effort to grab two bottles. …… Try? ”
The captain took the wine glass but did not drink it, but put the wine glass back on the wine cart and said in a deep voice: "My lord, a nobleman came outside and said that he was here to collect debts, and I asked him to come in, but he said that he wanted you to go out, how to solve this matter?" ”
"Heh, he asked me to go out of the city, and I'm going to go out of the city?" The middle-aged man laughed, with an indescribable superiority and pride, "Then where do I put my face?" Don't worry about him, let him stand outside, really any cat or dog dares to come here to make trouble, if he can't help but trespass, just like the previous batches. ”
"He looks like a nobleman." The captain spoke cautiously again, "And there are two masters who seem to be of good strength by your side. ”
"Superior silver?" The middle-aged man showed a hint of solemnity.
"It doesn't look like it." The captain shook his head, "It should be the next silver." ”
"That's okay, there's an old man here." The middle-aged man smiled, "The one who collected the debt last time also had a high-ranking silver next to him, and he wasn't cleaned up by the old man." …… Although this old man didn't care about anything, he was just a gatekeeper, but if he really wanted to make trouble in this stone factory, he wouldn't care. Besides, don't you have fifty people, and you can't deal with one of the top silvers in a military formation, and you can't deal with two of the lower silvers? ”
The captain showed a wry smile, but he didn't know how to explain to the middle-aged man that the matter of this war was never as simple as one plus one.
At this moment, a young soldier barged in, perhaps because the matter was too urgent, he did not knock on the door, which made the middle-aged man's brow furrow slightly. The captain only opened his mouth and scolded, and then asked what had happened. How dare this young soldier hide it, so he immediately said the three-minute limit that Sean said at the door, and after hearing this, the captain also showed a rare solemn look.
"How long has it been now?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Probably...... It's been two minutes. The captain and the soldier looked at each other, and then the captain spoke with some uncertainty.
"Then wait three minutes." The middle-aged man sneered, "I want to see what kind of ability this noble man who doesn't know the height of the sky has to make trouble here." Do you really think that with two followers of the lower rank silver, you will be invincible in the world? Hmph, I don't want to know which family's territory is here. (To be continued.) )
PS: Well, I'm afraid some people haven't seen it, let's say it again, about yesterday's war horse, it's my own oolong, and the previous text has been revised. The breeding of war horses is thirty gold coins per month, but this is the breeding of war horses with the army, and the breeding of horse ranches is actually much cheaper, and the sale of war horses is not as expensive as imagined, and the real expensive is the stallion that can be bred. …… Of course, the war horse is actually not a special mount in the fantasy world, so I think the price is about the same.
