Elsie really seriously thought about becoming a knight of the church, of course, thinking about how to sell his territory or sublease it. Of course, the ideal trading partner is actually Sean, but because of the contradiction between the Kingdom of Dabion and the Duchy of Lane, it is impossible for Elsie to sell this territory to Sean, even if he really does this, not to mention the attitude of the Kingdom of Dabiang, the Boulder family will not let Elsie go in the first place.

As long as Elsie is given a charge of treason, the entire Boulder family will immediately follow suit. For the Boulder family, who are good at political investment, it is naturally impossible to allow such a thing to happen, so it is destined that Elsie's territory cannot be sold to Sean.

However, for such a barren territory, Sean is actually not very interested. It's just that the Mordeg territory does have a certain strategic value, if it is used as a forward base, then it can attack the other five surrounding territories, and you can return to the Black Reef grassland when you retreat, and the strategic activity space is huge, and because the Mordeg territory is relatively small, and the terrain is not suitable for cavalry combat, so the difficulty of defense is not high.

Of course, all this is viewed from a strategic perspective.

However, Sean estimates that no one other than Asuna will be interested in this territory.

After breakfast, Sean stayed at Elsie's manor. However, now that the matter of purchasing black steel stone has been completed, Sean does not plan to stay in the Mordeg Territory for too long, he is ready to experience the life of a few days in the farmhouse in Elsie's manor, and then he turns to the northeast and enters the Septus Territory, he remembers that there is a cave in this territory, which is a gathering place for cultists, and Sean vaguely remembers that this is a fourth-order copy.

It's just that I don't know if this copy has been opened now.

Of course, the copy itself doesn't actually produce anything good. But Sean doesn't want equipment, it's experience points. Of course, there are also things that can be sacrificed. In any case, he must also get another demon or other powerful creature of the same kind to use as a curse power, and there is a sacrificial platform under the Black Swan Castle, if he doesn't make good use of it, it will be a little sorry for Sean's character.

In this way, Sean was planning the next itinerary while thinking about where to get the right sacrifice.

The life of a farmhouse, for Sean, who had never experienced it before. It's still somewhat new. But no matter how novel it is, he can't stay here forever, so on the fourth day of living in the manor, Sean chooses to say goodbye to Elsie.

Cassius hasn't come back yet, but Sean and Elsie have already guessed this, after all, this trip is going to the Millennium Covenant Empire. It will take about half a year to come back at the earliest. And Elsie obviously knows very well that Sean can't live in his manor forever, so he didn't feel so reluctant when he was separated, after all, two big men, no matter how much they chatted, they couldn't be reluctant.

What's more, from the very beginning, Sean and Elsie were actually destined to be people from both camps - at least in the current situation, the two do.

"If there's anything you need my help with. Just ask people to come to Black Swan Castle to find me. Sean spoke. As long as I say that Elsie sent it, I will know it. ”

"I know it." Elsie nodded. "The black steel stones you want, I will arrange for someone from the stone factory to send them to you as soon as possible."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Take care."

"You are." Sean laughed, "When a lord treats you like this, I've never seen it in my life." ”

Elsie didn't refute this, just smiled.

It is unclear whether the friendship between the two lords of different camps can be maintained as it has always been in the end. But at least at this moment, both Sean and Elsie are one of the few friends who really regard each other as their own.

Sometimes, friendships come so suddenly.

Perhaps Sean did not refute the invitation of the lord Elsie at that time, just because of his kindness and benevolence. Because when he sees Elsie, Sean will think of Cecilia, maybe it's for this reason, so Sean doesn't have any arrogance when facing Elsie, at least he won't be so domineering - in this world, there are only four people who can make Sean really treat and even defend sincerely.

Now even with the addition of Elsie. Boulder, too, is just over a full hand.

Even Asuna, the Marquisess, Sean only regarded her as an ally, and the relationship between the two of them was just mutually beneficial.

So this separation, although it seems ordinary, has a completely different meaning for Sean and Elsie. It's just that these two people are not the kind of people who will talk about all this, so it seems that one walks chicly and the other smiles clearly, as for whether there will be another intersection in the future, or whether this intersection is good or bad, it is not something they can easily decide.

……

The sky was drizzling.

This was the first rain Sean had seen since coming to the southern region.

The world realm of the Miracle Continent is slightly different from the environment of the earth.

In this world, the climate in the northern part of the continent is relatively mild and pleasant, and the land is mostly fertile; In the south, the climate temperature difference is extremely obvious, usually in the summer will be more muggy, and with the arrival of the rainy season in late summer, the temperature will begin to gradually cool, until the cold winter has passed, the temperature will begin to gradually rise, which is actually very unaccustomed to Cecilia, who is accustomed to the mild climate of the north that is almost like spring all year round.

It's just that in order not to cause any trouble for Sean, Cecilia never said this. After all, no matter how difficult the environment is, she has supported it, but now it is just a change of climate and environment, and what is the big deal, she will adapt to it.

And when the first rain starts to fall in the southern region, it means that the rainy season has begun at the end of summer.

After leaving the Mordg Realm, Sean headed northeast, and after three days of travel, he finally officially entered the Cersius Realm. This territory is naturally many times larger than the Mordeg Territory, because this is a standard county county, and the lord Count Cytheus is an old earl who is over half a hundred years old, although the decree in the territory is not benevolent, but at least the people can ensure that they do not starve, which is relatively benevolent from this point of view.

Because in many territories, under the harsh government of the lord, the life of the people is actually very difficult.

After entering the Septus Territory, Sean did not stop much, but ran all the way straight to a small town called the cyan hummingbird in the territory, and finally found a hotel in time for the first rain.

There weren't many people in the hotel, just six or seven. Perhaps because of the rain, the travelers didn't have much to do for a while, so they gathered in the lobby to enjoy their lunch while admiring the rain outside the window – of course, the view wasn't really pretty, but at least it was better than nothing for the time being.

So when Sean pushed open the door of the hotel and walked in, he still received a certain amount of attention. However, Sean is not a beauty after all, so most travelers just glanced at it in a hurry, and then turned their eyes to other places, refusing to pay the slightest attention, perhaps the few seconds of staring just now were already a rare sight.

"Boss, what's new in the town lately?" Sean sat at the bar in the lobby of the hotel, not only opened a room, but also asked for a piece of food, perhaps because he didn't eat very well in Modeg, and there was nothing good to eat along the way, so Sean asked for an extremely rich lunch.

Probably because Sean was more bold, so after hearing Sean's words, the boss thought about it very seriously, and then said, "What's new...... A few days ago, a group of mercenaries came to the town, but a few people have disappeared inexplicably in the past few days, and now this group of mercenaries is busy looking for companions everywhere, is this a new thing? ”

Hearing the boss's words, Sean grinned and said, "Count." …… It seems like a strange thing. ”

"Not really." The innkeeper's chatterbox was opened, and suddenly there seemed to be a kind of gossip soul burning in his body, "In my opinion, probably those mercenaries couldn't stand the regiment leader, so they ran away in private." However, the regimental commander insisted that his regiment must have been attacked with inexplicable malice, and that there were signs of fighting in their camp, but who could believe these things, maybe they had forged them themselves. …… Mercenaries, you can't do anything. ”

The travelers in the hotel seem to know a lot about the recent troubles made by this group of mercenaries in the town, and for a while the whole hotel will use this matter as a topic to communicate with each other, and these people have chatted without a word whether they know each other or not, and even add a lot of their own conjectures. In this way, everyone will not seem particularly bored, and at least one thing can be discussed to pass the time.

Places like hotels and taverns are actually the best places to gather information. Of course, this information is naturally mixed with a lot of water, and if ordinary people want to get useful information from it, they naturally need to squeeze this water dry.

However, Sean didn't need to come to find out any information, he only needed to know one thing, that is, a mercenary group had a companion missing.

And this happens to be the signal that the cultist assembly is open. (To be continued.) )
