"Eliza, why are you here?"

Not long after the sheriff left, the fat boss came. The fat boss not only brought dinner, but also followed by a small tail, Eliza.

"Thulick, come out to eat. Beckon your attendants to come down as well, and don't hide on the beams. This house is a little old, and it is not very strong. If it collapses, you can help me fix it? ”

"Oh, got it...... Shino, come down. ”

The food delivered by the fat boss today was quite sumptuous, not only from a large plate of stewed meat stews and vegetable soup, but also hot roasted meat, plates, and fresh fruits. The most surprising thing was that he also brought a jar of wine.

"Mr. Norne, this is Mr. Hadner's habit. Every time you cut off an orc's head, you have to drink a few drinks to celebrate. ”

Here's how the fat boss explains.

"Doesn't Daddy drink it every day?"

“…… Also. ”

Fang Qiuling's words made the fat boss stunned, and he hesitated when he handed over the wine barrel. Old Tom, who couldn't wait, snatched it at once, opened it skillfully, and then poured himself a full glass.

"Stinky boy, it's just you. If you don't get it, you can talk so much......"

Eliza also came over as if offering a treasure: "Mr. Norn, your clothes, luggage, and ......"

Eliza's clothes moved, and a small hairy head poked out of her neckline.

"Meow~"

Ma Lu meowed happily, and then Fang Qiuling grabbed the back of the neck and took it out, and casually stuffed it into Shino's arms.

- You little perverted cat, you actually crawled into the girl's neckline, what do you want to do? Also, aren't you also a mother?

"Hmmm! Thank you, Eliza. Helped me a lot. ”

Fang Qiuling was used to carrying everything with him in a storage bag, but there was still something left in the guest room. In particular, the camouflage cloak on the back of the chair is a fairly important piece of equipment at the moment.

The table was quickly filled with a table of food, and Old Tom and Fang Qiuling immediately ate unceremoniously and happily.

While Old Tom and Fang Qiuling were eating, the fat boss began to tell the news he had gotten.

"It has been ascertained that the whereabouts of the orcs first came from the East Valley Lumberyards. Judging by the footprints outside the East Valley Lumber Yard, the number of orcs when they left the East Valley Lumber Yard was over thirty. But for some reason, only half of the orcs arrived in Lakesprings, and the other half were missing. At present, the Wuxi cavalry has expanded the search area, and all villages and towns along the way have begun to be under martial law. In case of an orc attack. ”

"There have been over ninety goblin entities found, most of them concentrated at and outside the town gates. Some have been found in the town, but not much. There are also a significant number of goblins on the run, with a total estimated at around three hundred. The Adventurer's Guild has raised the bounty on Goblins and Orcs to encourage adventurers to destroy more Goblins and Orcs. At present, the adventurer teams in the guild have all set off, and they have not returned yet. Further news should come tomorrow morning. ”

"The guards are conducting a massive search of the town to make sure there are no orcs or goblins hiding in the town. So far, several goblins have been found hiding in the town, but no orcs have been found. The mayor asked everyone not to go out alone or stay at home alone, and to gather together as much as possible to avoid misfortune. ”

"Count DeHarus ordered all local troops to remain vigilant except for the guards at Fallen Leaf Pass, so as not to have another orc invasion. At present, the two wings of the Seventh Knights have been assembled. One of the wings conducted daily patrols along the main roads, while the other carried out targeted searches on a village-by-village basis. The Lord's Guard has also been fully dispatched......"

The orc invasion lasted less than an hour, but the impact was many. For Fang Qiuling, the orc invasion of the town is nothing new. After all, there are many such siege events in the game, in addition to orc sieges, there are also undead sieges, beast tide sieges, and lizardmen sieges......

Fang Qiuling's Wind Knight had been engaged in siege activities for a period of time when he was at the peak of the Black Iron Rank. The main reward for the event event of the invasion of the town is the battle record, which can be used to rush the prestige of the faction or exchange for the battle equipment, the benefit is not high but it is quite stable, and it is almost every day. If there are many players, they can almost catch the time to catch the game, and go to the next game immediately after playing a game, which can be seamlessly connected.

After brushing up on the siege activities for a while, Fang Qiuling found that although the siege activities did give a lot of records, there were many NPCs on the scene, and the experience points obtained from each monster killed were divided by NPCs a lot, and the actual experience points in unit time were almost half less than those in the wild, which affected the leveling very much. When he has brushed up the prestige of the two forces and exchanged it for the skill book he needs, he won't brush it.

But......

Listening to the fat boss's statement, Fang Qiuling was thoughtful.

"Xiulik," Fang Qiuling's thoughtful look fell on Old Tom's eyes, "You seem to know something?" ”

"Well, I know something......

Fang Qiuling did not deny it. He put down the cutlery in his hand and leaned back in his chair.

Every siege event in the game is accompanied by a time-limited mission. If you complete all the timed missions, you will also have a chance to get a follow-up investigation mission. Survey missions are much more rewarding and less difficult than siege activities, so once they have the opportunity to get a survey mission, players are usually reluctant to miss it, even if it is several levels lower. If you don't need it, you can sell it for a small amount of money!

The invasion of Lakesprings...... Fang Qiuling quickly found the corresponding information in his mind.

After the orc invasion of Lakesprings, the investigation mission was to clear the remnants of the orcs. This investigation task Fang Qiuling has done no less than ten times, because the reward for completing the task includes a random skill book. In order to brush out the skill book he wanted, he repeated this invasion many times.

Where are the remnants of the orcs? Fang Qiuling not only knew where they were hiding, but even the place where they stored their loot was also clear.

"Daddy Tom, I do know something. But...... Before I said this, I asked my dad a question, I don't know if it's okay. ”

Old Tom threw up his head and poured a large sip of wine and spat out a word from the depths of his throat: "Say." ”

"Daddy, what are you? And Boss Twilight too. ”

Old Tom's hand holding the glass froze suddenly, and then slowly fell after a moment.

"What do you mean, Thulick?"

Fang Qiuling played with the fork in his hand, his eyes were full of curiosity: "It's not interesting, I just think it's a little strange." Mist Lake is a rural place, with no money, no specialties, no big names in history, no monuments, and no natural scenery. So Seradia has always regarded the people who come out of the misty lake as dirt buns, or nouveau riche. The elite Wren Eagle of the Teaching Corps, and his subordinates, have actually lived in this poor and remote place for nearly thirty years. For the sake of this, should I be curious, concerned, and concerned? Do you say, Daddy? ”

Shino hadn't been in Karthhas for a long time, and she didn't know much about Karthus, so she was at a loss for what the fat boss had to say. Every word can be understood, and the meaning can be understood. But after listening to it, it's over. She was unable to grasp the deeper implications, nor could she analyze them further.

Eliza is a native of Mist Lake, and a self-proclaimed spellcaster. But in reality, she did not have any education and did not even know a word. Spell casting is completely based on talent and blood, and he is a warlock who casts spells indiscriminately by talent. She had heard what the fat boss had just reported, but she had no idea what it meant.

However, in people with intentions, such as Fang Qiuling, this information contains a lot of content. And even the movements of the lord's guard can be grasped among them, which is the intelligence gathering ability that an innkeeper in an ordinary town can have? An innkeeper with such intelligence-gathering skills is reporting to a powerless militia instructor? Just kidding!

Old Tom squinted his eyes and looked Fang Qiuling up and down. As he looked at it, he grabbed the barrel and poured another full glass into the glass.

"Stinky boy, I don't see that you still have some vision. But you guessed it wrong! I'm not the elite of the teaching group, I'm a member of the heraldic academy. Old Tom generously admitted his identity, and he drank the contents of the cup in one gulp, "Twilight, like me, is also from the Heraldic Academy. ”

"Heraldic Academy?"

"Yes, that's right, from the Heraldic Academy. We're not here to play, but to investigate an incident from more than twenty years ago. The previous Count of DeHarus had a daughter named Ronis who disappeared twenty years ago. Before her disappearance, Ron sent a letter to the Heraldic Academy, the contents of which I can't reveal. It's probably that the current Earl of Diharus has an illegitimate son, and we are investigating, and we already have some evidence...... Hey, what's that look on your face? ”

Fang Qiuling also squinted his eyes, and his face was full of disbelief: Make it up, you just continue to make it up, I'll see what kind of flowers you can make up.

"Daddy, do you think I can believe what you say?"

"What's wrong? Questions? We're investigating, so a lot of things haven't been confirmed. ”

Fang Qiuling rolled his eyes widely, then lightly knocked on the table a few times, and began to refute one by one: "The expatriates of the Heraldic Academy all have the status of barons. Even if it is not a noble, he is granted the status of a baron before the mission, and he undergoes full training in aristocratic etiquette. Therefore, the guys of the Heraldic Academy have always thought that the teaching group is too rude, a group of brutes, and they are quite incompatible with the teaching group. Elite...... They will only call the people in the teaching group 'rookies', and they will never say that the teaching group is 'elite'. He will only say 'rookie in the mud pond' or 'rookie in the fire ring'. ”

"Humph!"

Old Tom's face was a little unnatural.

"Count DeHarus is ...... If I remember correctly, that guy should be Fuyue's birthday, and this year he should be in his early thirties. More than 20 years ago, it was calculated according to 20 years. Twenty years ago he was only ten years old, and at the age of ten the Count of DeHarus had an heir, and it was an illegitimate child. Do you think I can believe that? ”

"This ......"

Needless to say, Old Tom was a little more embarrassed on the fat boss on the side.

"Also, those guys from the Heraldic Academy are from a few permanent training centers in the lower city of Celradia. Those training centers only teach swordsmanship, and there is only one type of swordsmanship taught, which is the Seradia Wind Seven Sword. Dad, if I didn't say you, you would also have a set of military swordsmanship, right? Am I right? I can only fool me, a newbie. Dad, there should be a lot of weapons you can use, but let's not talk about swordsmanship. As for the usual weapons, Daddy ......"

Fang Qiuling didn't look back, and directly pointed to a two-handed axe placed in the corner of the wall.

"It's the axe, isn't it? Open the mountain and split the ground, one axe and two breaks! Go forward and never go back! ”

"You're ...... enough"

"Wind Seven Swords or something, shouldn't it? Maybe you've never heard of it, right? ”

“……”

"Maybe I haven't even been to Seradia."

"Stinky boy, you're looking for a fight!"

A series of ridicule made Old Tom's old face unbearable.

"Look, look, Daddy, you're being rude." Fang Qiuling relentlessly pursued the victory, "Those guys from the heraldic academy are very good at pretending, simply put, they are 'gentlemen'." Daddy, you're a little far away from a gentleman. No, it's very far! And ......"

"Enough, no more!"

Say one sentence Fang Qiu Ling can repay ten sentences, and every sentence makes sense. This made old Tom angry and had quite a headache at the same time.

"I have to admit that I am not from the Heraldic Academy, but indeed a ...... of the Teaching Corps"

Fang Qiuling didn't speak, still squinting his eyes, maintaining the expression just now: Edit, continue to edit, continue to edit, make up a little more, I'll listen.

"I do ......" Old Tom, who was once again despised, was completely discouraged: "Well, I admit it! I'm a member of the Mercenary Teaching Corps......"

There are three military organizations in Karthas. The most commonly referred to as the Knightly Instruction is the Knightly Instruction, whose full name is the Celestia Knight's Instruction. The number of members of this force was small, and even at its highest in history, it did not exceed 80 men. However, the weakest of them also has at least the strength of the Black Iron Peak, and there are several strong people in the gold rank, and there are also many spellcasters. It is one of the strongest armies in Karthus.

In addition to the Knight Training Corps, there are also Infantry Instruction Corps and Mercenary Instruction Corps.

Both the Infantry and Mercenary Orders are affiliated with the Knights of the Guard, the Knights of the Royal Oath of Serradia. Both are special parts of the Knights of the Guards. As the name suggests, the duties of the Infantry Training Corps are related to the infantry, responsible for training infantry commanders and a small number of elite infantry. The duties of the mercenary training group are related to the mercenaries, and they are responsible for the training, training and evaluation of the mercenaries on a daily basis, and lead the mercenaries to conduct reconnaissance, harassment and search during wartime.

"Oh, that's pretty much it." Fang Qiuling nodded, no longer squinting, "But I can also tell you one thing first." ”

"What's the matter?"

"About the heraldic house, the one I just said."

"What's wrong?"

"Except for the one about Count Diharus, I made it up! What does it include in the Seven Swords of the Wind, the Gentleman's ......"
