The footsteps were very urgent.

And clear.

Sean and the others looked up at the door and saw a man in a tuxedo walking in quickly. His face was a little flustered, his forehead was covered with sweat, his hair was sticking to his face, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed, he had maintained as much grace and etiquette as possible, but the dirtiness on his face was really helpless - or rather, at this moment, in the whole of Roverlan City, I am afraid that no one can still maintain this elegance and calmness.

"Excuse me, who is the leader of the team?" As soon as the young man walked through the door of the hotel, he immediately asked.

His voice was full of eagerness.

"I just, what's wrong?" Sean spoke.

"Hello, I'm Sir Paro's butler, and Sir would like to invite you to the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting." The self-proclaimed butler stood in front of Sean, his attitude seemed very respectful, and he kept his voice as steady as possible, but the eagerness in his eyes was obvious.

After seeing the food on the table of Sean and the others, the butler politely added, "I hope you can take some time to go." ”

Sean's face showed a little confusion and curiosity, if this Sir Paro didn't like him leading his team into the city, then he would definitely intercept them when they appeared, instead of waiting until now to send someone to look for him. So finding your own answer at this time is naturally not related to your own team entering the city, presumably there should be something that needs your help, and I'm afraid it's still a big task.

At the very least, there is a requirement for the number of teams.

"Is it a commission?" Sean asked tentatively.

"Yes." The butler seemed to have taken Sean for a mercenary group, so he nodded in acknowledgement.

"You go with Cecilia and Fred, and Anno and I will lead the others to stay here." William saw Sean's gaze, so he spoke, "We won't negotiate anyway, and it's useless to go, so it's better to leave it to you professionals." ”

So he nodded, but said nothing. He left the hotel with the butler. Walk towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The Lord's Mansion is located on West Street in the city of Loveland, but it is very different from the other houses on West Street, because it is neither luxurious nor large, it looks like a separate courtyard with three stories high and front and rear gardens, which looks very different from the luxurious mansions on West Street. If it weren't for the fact that there was a sign clearly hanging outside the wall of this house, on which the words "City Lord's Mansion" were written. Whoever passes by will only subconsciously ignore the house.

When Sean entered the city, he saw that there were actually many places in the city that were being replanned, and even some houses in residential areas were demolished and rebuilt, and even those mansions on West Street seemed to have a tendency to be renovated and rebuilt, because Sean did see that a lot of scaffolding had been erected. And there are a lot of people who are busy, too. But only this city lord's mansion didn't seem to have any intention of such a change, and not to mention the workers, even the servants were not seen.

The door was opened by the young butler who took out a large set of keys from his body and opened it himself.

Sean couldn't help but wonder, how poor is this city lord named Paro?

The door was opened, and Sean noticed a window on the third floor of the house near the left. There are traces of the curtain shaking. It was evident that someone had just stood there observing something. At this moment, Sean's heart is indeed full of doubts. However, he knew that even if he opened his mouth to ask, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion in front of him would not be able to say any useful information, so it was better to wait until he met Sir Paro.

It's just that the process is faster than Sean imagined.

When the butler opened the door, an old man came down from the second floor on crutches. When he saw this old man, who was only about one meter six tall and not much taller than a dwarf, the butler quickly stepped sideways, so that Sean and the others behind him could see the old man more clearly.

"I am Paro, as you can see, the lord of this Roverlan city." The old man was obviously a little impatient, his voice was a little hoarse, it didn't sound like it used to be, but it only became like this after an extremely fierce quarrel, but compared to his hoarse voice, his straightforwardness was even more impressive: "I have a matter that I want to entrust to you, but unfortunately I have no extra funds to pay for it. ”

Sir Paro's impatience and straightforwardness made Sean somewhat favorable. But I like this thing, and it can't be spent as money, although he still has millions of huge sums of money on him, but this money is not much strictly calculated, so if there is a chance to make money, of course he will not let it go, even if the mosquito meat is small, it is also meat.

However, what really caught Sean's attention was the word "commission".

For him, these two words mean experience points and an increase in strength. Since Tynders took over, although there have been many big battles and small battles, his experience points have not increased, and now that he finally has a commission, Sean's mood has of course become very good. It's just that whether it is following the player's thinking, or the identity of the mercenary group or the leader of the mercenary group, this reward must be sufficient.

"You can rest assured that we charge based on the content of the commission." Cecilia began, "If the commission is not particularly difficult, we will definitely not charge too much, you can rest assured that this is not too expensive." ”

Paro glanced at Cecilia and didn't speak, and at this time Sean quickly answered: "I'm Sean, the leader of this mercenary group. This is Cecilia and Alfred, and they're both the deputy leaders of the team, so they can actually speak for me. ”

Hearing Sean's explanation, Sir Paro nodded slightly: "Then what if you are asked to save people?" …… As you can see, the city of Roverlan is currently in a state of construction and expansion, so supplies are in particular needed. I asked my son to contact a caravan to buy supplies, and it was going very well, and it was supposed to be back today, but I couldn't wait for my son's return, and only this letter was delivered. ”

Sean reached for the envelope, the seal had been removed, and it was clear that the contents of the letter had been read, but considering that the letter had been taken from Paro's hand. Then presumably the only reader is Sir Parrow.

The content of the letter is clear. It is that Sir Paro's son has been captured and needs a ransom to redeem it.

Other than that, there is nothing.

Sean handed the letter to Cecilia, who read it and handed it to Alfred, who also read it and handed it back to Sean. Sean carefully put the letter back in the envelope and handed it back to Ser Paro before asking, "So, Lord of the City, do you want me to rescue your son?" ”

"It's more than that." Paro spoke. "Missing along with my son is a shipment of goods, which is very important to the city of Lovelan right now, and I would like to ask you to recover this shipment with you."

"Lord Castle, with all due respect." Sean's brows furrowed slightly, feeling that this seemed a little strange, "You can send the city guards to dispatch." Purely in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the city defense force should be much higher than ours. ”

"That's actually the third thing I'm going to entrust to you." Paro looked helpless.

Seeing such a Paro City Lord, Sean simply did not speak, but chose to listen quietly.

"When I received this letter, it was yesterday, and I immediately sent a guard to dispatch, a full hundred light cavalry." Paro's consideration is actually quite correct. "After all, the other party didn't just take my son. And there is a whole fleet of cargo, which will definitely be slow to move. And the delivery location written on this letter is also not far from the city of Lovelan. Then it proves that the other party must be hiding nearby, and with the search ability of the light cavalry, it should be possible to get the news quickly. ”

"But the result is exactly the opposite of what I suspected." Sir Paro's voice became low, "According to the order, no matter what the result is, the light cavalry unit must come back last night to report, but there is no response until this morning, I estimate that this light cavalry unit is probably ......"

The latter words did not speak, but the results were already very obvious.

Although the light cavalry unit is mostly used for battlefield support and reconnaissance purposes, it is still a standard three-level unit. And if the opponent can completely annihilate even a third-level army, then this is enough to show that the opponent's combat effectiveness is by no means simple, at least it will not be an ordinary bandit and bandit, it is very likely that the troops of other countries have infiltrated and tried to cause damage in the territory of the Principality of Lane.

Of course, it is not excluded that it is a nobleman who has a personal conflict with the lord of Danawi.

Because of the national nature of the Duchy of Lane, the wars and conflicts between the nobles have always turned a blind eye to each other, as long as the scale is not too big and too many people are not dragged into the water. Most of the powerful marquis of the entire Duchy of Lane have relied on this way of annexing other families to get up, and only a few have really relied on themselves through their military exploits and strength like Asuna.

Thinking of this, Sean's face showed a little embarrassment: "City Lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to handle this task." …… My army is only 200 men, and it is not even a regular army. ”

"I also know about it, but now the number of garrisons in Louflan City is too small, and after losing the light cavalry troops, there are less than five hundred people left, and I am afraid that if I send all of them, the other party will come and ransack this town." Palo also knew that his request seemed to be a bit difficult for a strong man, but he really couldn't help it, who let Sean appear here so coincidentally, "Otherwise, you only need to be responsible for the investigation!" As soon as the hiding place of the other party is investigated, I will immediately dispatch the garrison, so that the trouble can be completely cleared. ”

"If that's all there is to it, then that's fine." Sean nodded, "It's just ...... in terms of pay."

"You make an offer. But it's not too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay, because the money in the city is currently invested in construction and expansion. ”

"In that case, then I'd like to ask the lord of the castle for a favor."

"What's the busy?"

"I'm going to find a carver to help my friend engrave a magic pattern, so that his combat effectiveness can be improved, and our safety and efficiency will be more guaranteed." (To be continued.) )

PS: The third update, well, there are also the fourth and fifth changes...... Judging by my current NIAO, I would suggest that you don't wait. At the end, I asked weakly, there ...... Is there a commuter pass? Meow.
