Chapter 356: Adventurers Association

"Mr. Joy, if you are willing to spend less time on women, I think I will be much more relaxed." Maud snorted, "Dick is a pawn we can't see, how can we take it at this time?" He called. If his identity is exposed, do you think our life will be easier?"

"In recent years, they have done some things for us that can't be seen on the stage. Otherwise, how can Storm City be like it is now."

"I'm just a suggestion." Joey whispered.

Maud shook his head and said, "Forget it, Roger can't lend out his slave troop, so we have to rely on ourselves. How is the conscription going?"

"It's going well, Father. Captain Reg has calculated that next month, we will add 300 new recruits."

"Three hundred people, still new recruits." Maude sat down and put a pipe to his lips: "The wounded soldiers need time to recuperate, and more importantly, to restore their confidence, so that we can find the city of Sur Settle the bill. After the calculation, it will take at least two months for the recruits to finish their training, prepare their equipment and supplies before they can teach those hillbillies in Suer a lesson."

"Father, what are you going to do, Uncle Mogu?"

Moder glanced at him and said, "Of course it's a redemption. Not only is it about our face, but the army also needs to be presided over by Mogu. Do you want me, the city lord, to go out in person? That will only make people laugh."

"But the ransom offered by Sur City is not %, ww≧w. It's cheap." Qiao Yi said with a heartbroken face, "That's a whole hundred thousand gold coins!"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the money will eventually be returned to me with interest!" Maud exhaled and waved his hand: "Go down, don't provoke women these days, and do more serious things."

"Yes, father."

After Joey left, Maud still frowned. He was smoking a stuffy cigarette, still thinking about Roger's reply. Is it really such a coincidence? As soon as I needed support, Roger's slave-hunting regiment had already set off? Or is it that my long-time ally has other thoughts?

It's a pity that the garrison at the wind-eroded canyon checkpoint didn't report the fact that the Sur City caravan had gone to Violet Harbor. After all, such a trivial matter like this, and Dick had already made a move that day. So the officers in the station concealed the matter, otherwise, Moder could at least guess some information from it.

Now, you can only guess out of thin air.

No matter Maud's mood, time will always be just. It will not stay for anyone, so the night gradually fades away, and the dawn comes quietly.

In the early morning hours, a soldier yawned and left the dormitory. After breakfast, he came to the guard wall to hand over. As soon as they entered the sentry tower, the soldiers discovered it.

A small emerald green snake, it quietly huddled in the shadows of the corner, and the two green fireflies on its head stared at the soldier faintly, which gave the soldier goosebumps. It really didn't look like a snake, more like a cold observer.

The soldiers had served in Storm City for many years, and here was surrounded by the Deep Blue Mountains, where wild beasts appeared from time to time. But snakes are rarely seen, of course, this is not something to make a fuss about. So the soldier raised his rifle and was about to drive the snake away. As soon as he stepped forward, the snake made a "whoosh" and swam away quickly.

On this day, people in Storm City discovered that there were suddenly more snakes in the city. They can be found behind sewer gratings, in the corners of houses, under eave beams, or in the closet of someone unlucky.

They are everywhere!

The vision attracted people's attention. Just when everyone thought there was going to be a snake infestation, they disappeared quietly the next day as suddenly as they appeared, so people were just a false alarm.

After spending two days and three nights in the forest near Storm City, Allen finally saw Bai again. After the giant snake left that night, there was no news of it. Allen didn't know what method it used to scout, so he could only stay where he was and wait for it. During the period, the Storm City army passed through the mountains and forests during field training, and passed by Alan, an outsider.

Bai, who appeared again, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and the golden horn began to light up. From the unicorn, traces of orange light came out, forming a hazy halo. When the halo illuminated Alan's eyes, some images naturally appeared in his mind. The pictures came one after another, and for a while, the amount of information was beyond Allen's imagination.

These pictures cover almost every corner of Storm City, and if they are pieced together, they will form a three-dimensional model of Storm City. In this model, the pictures and information related to the army are the most, and they are played repeatedly, so Allen has a rough grasp of the layout of the city defense and the number of troops stationed in the city.

After engraving this information firmly in his mind with amazing memory, Allen opened his eyes, looked at Bai in surprise and said, "God, how did you do it?"

Bai tilted his head, his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, with a smug look on his face.

Allen knew that most of the information Bai sent to his mind was related to the King Snake's ability. However, Bai's reconnaissance methods are mysterious and peculiar. But this is a good thing for Allen, at least in the future, he can let Bai do the reconnaissance for him. Moreover, the information Bai got was much more comprehensive and detailed than what he got himself.

That night, Alan and Bai left Storm City in the dark. Unbeknownst to Maud, visitors from Sur City had secretly visited his city. He didn't even know that before Allen left, several people in Storm City quietly left the city by their own means without attracting his attention.

The night is vast, and the undercurrent is surging.

At dusk two days later, Allen returned to Sur City. Bai still returned to the forest that already belonged to him, waiting for Alan's next call. After returning to the house, Edward sent a carriage to pick him up. Allen was very curious, why did Edward find him in such a hurry? He got into the carriage and let the carriage take him to the City Lord's Mansion.

In Edward's study, Allen saw the Maritan boy and two other people.

Two elderly men, one with a big belly and a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed like a businessman. The other was thin and sad, as if nothing in the world could make him happy.

Edward pulled Allen forward and said, "Let me introduce you. These two are Mr. Bree and Beto, and they are directors of the Storm City Adventurers Association."

Then he said to the two of them: "This is the knight Alan of our city, and he is the one who took down Captain Mogu."

The chubby Brie opened his eyes immediately, and said with a smile, "Mr. Allen is so young, his future is limitless."

"Okay Bree, now that the matter is settled, we should go back, lest Baron Maud find out that we are not in Storm City." The skinny Beto coughed dryly.

Brie nodded, shook hands with Edward, and said, "I'm glad you accepted our proposal, then, we will take our leave."

After sending the two away, Allen, who was confused, asked, "What are they here for?"

"Of course it's cooperation."

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?"

Edward shrugged and said, "It's very simple. They plan to set up an adventurer's association in the city of Sur. The condition is that the city of Sur will be open to adventurers for free in the future. Of course, if the adventurers cause any trouble in the city, these directors will Then we have to be responsible. And the benefit we get is the priority to accept commissions. The Adventurers Association accepts a wide range of commissions, you know, we can even hire a team of adventurers through them."

"It could even be a few if the price is right."

Allen looked surprised: "So there is such a thing."

"This is the first time I know, after all, this is the frontier, and we still know too little about this planet." Edward smiled: "It doesn't matter, anyway, time is on our side."

"They are from Storm City, why are they willing to help us like this?"

Edward laughed and said, "It's all thanks to Sir Maud."

"why?"

"Because he attacked adventurers." Edward said in a deep voice, "This is one of the mistakes he made. Maybe you don't know it yet, but during your absence, Belmode met a woman. She is an adventurer , On the day of the siege of Storm City, her companions were killed by Storm City, and she was the only one who escaped desperately."

"I met with her and persuaded her to report Maud's evil deeds to the Adventurer's Association. Now the directors of the association such as Bree and Beto are afraid that Maud will take them, so they decided to open a Association, so that the power can be quietly transferred. I just wanted to use this incident to damage Maude's reputation, at least to prevent him from recruiting adventurers to deal with us, but I didn't expect this accident."

Edward paused, and said: "Now it's time to talk about you. Dear Captain Allen, your sudden disappearance for a few days has troubled me."

"I'm going to do something serious." Allen nodded his head and said, "Didn't you ask me about the city's defense layout and the number of troops in Storm City before? Hey, this information is in my head now."

Edward shook his head and said, "It turns out that you are going to do reconnaissance work, but Captain Allen, putting yourself in danger is not what a leader should do."

"It doesn't matter, I won't be so stupid as to run to the streets of Storm City." Allen gestured: "Give me paper and pen."

"Yes, my leader."

Edward put the paper and pen on the table himself, and Alan picked up the pen without saying a word, and drew one by one on the paper according to the information in his mind. He stopped to recall from time to time, and then he drew out the lines and marked important information in key places. Painting and drawing stopped like this, until the moon was in the sky, and the topographical map led by Sir Maud appeared in front of Allen and Edward.
