Chapter 356： 　Adventure Association

"Mr. Joey, if you are willing to spend less time on women, I will be more relaxed." Maude snorted: "Dick is our chess piece that cannot be seen. How can we play at this time? He transferred. In case his identity is exposed, do you think our life will be better?"

"Over the years, they have done some things for us that are not on the stage. Otherwise, how can there be Storm City now."

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

Maude shook his head and said, "Forget it, Roger can't lend his slavery corps, so we can only rely on ourselves. How about the conscription?"

"Very well, father. Captain Reger has counted it out. Next month, we will add 300 new recruits."

"Three hundred people, still 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 Suer City. Settlement. After calculating, the recruits have completed training and prepared equipment and supplies, and it will take at least two months before they can teach the gangsters of Suer City."

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

Maude glanced at him and said, "Of course it is to redeem it. It is not only a matter of our face, but the army also needs Mogu to preside. Should I, the city lord, go out in person? That will only make people laugh."

"But the ransom from Suer City is not %, ww≧w. It's cheap." Joey said with a heartache: "That's a whole hundred thousand gold coins!"

"It's okay, anyway, they have to return the money to me in the end!" Maude let out a sigh of breath and waved his hand: "Go down. Recently, you should not provoke women and do more serious things."

"Yes, father."

After Joey left, Maude still frowned. He was smoking a stuffy cigarette, still thinking of Roger's reply. Is it such a coincidence? As soon as he needed support, Roger's slave corps had already set off? Or do you mean that your ally for many years has given birth to other thoughts?

It is a pity that the garrison at the Wind Erosion Canyon level did not report that the Suer City caravan had gone to Violet Harbor. After all, it was such an innocuous and trivial matter, plus that Dick had already taken action that day. Therefore, the resident officer concealed this matter, otherwise, Maude could at least guess some information from it.

Now, you can only guess out of thin air.

No matter how Maud's mood is, time is always fair. It will not stay for anyone, so the night fades away, and dawn comes quietly. In the early morning, a soldier yawned and left the dormitory. After breakfast, he came to the guard wall to hand over. As soon as he entered the guard tower, the soldiers found it.

An emerald green snake, it quietly shrank in the shadow in the corner, and two spots on its head stared at the soldier faintly, making the soldier look goosebumps. It really doesn't look like a snake, it's more like a cold observer.

Soldiers have served in Storm City for many years, and here is the deep blue mountains, where wild beasts come and go. But snakes are rarely seen, and of course, this is not something to make a fuss about. So the soldier picked up his rifle, ready to drive the snake away. As soon as he stepped forward, the snake had already "swished" and swam away quickly.

On this day, the people of Storm City found that there were more snakes in the city. They appear behind the fence of the sewer, in the corner of the house, under the beams of the eaves, or in some hapless wardrobe.

They are everywhere!

The vision aroused people's attention. Just when everyone thought there was a snake infestation, the next day they disappeared quietly as suddenly as they did when they appeared, so people just made a false alarm.

After spending two days and three nights in the forest near Storm City, Allen finally saw Bai again. There was no news after the giant snake left that night. Ellen didn't know what method it used to detect, so he could only stay in place and wait for it. During the field training, Storm City’s army passed through the mountains and forests and passed by the outsider, Allen.

Bai lowered his head and closed his eyes again, and the golden single horn began to light up. From the unicorn, a hint of orange light shined through, forming a halo. When the halo illuminates Allen's eyes, there are naturally more images in his mind. The pictures came in endlessly, and for a time, the amount of information was beyond Allen's imagination.

These pictures cover almost every corner of Storm City. If they are put 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. They are played repeatedly, so Allen has roughly grasped the layout of the city defenses and the number of troops stationed in the city.

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

Bai tilted his head, his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, and he looked triumphantly.

Ellen knew that most of the information that was sent to his mind was related to the king snake's abilities. However, the methods of white reconnaissance 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 himself. Moreover, the information Bai obtained was much more comprehensive and detailed than what he had obtained himself.

That night, Ellen and Bai Cheng left Storm City in the dark. Maude didn't know that visitors from Suhl had already secretly visited his city. He didn't even know that before Alan left, several people in Storm City had quietly left the city without attracting his attention through their own means.

The night is vast, and the undercurrent is surging.

At dusk two days later, Alan returned to Suhl City. Bai returned to the forest that already belonged to it, waiting for Alan's next call. Before returning to the house, Edward sent a carriage to pick him up. Alan is 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 met the boy Maritan and two other people.

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

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

Then he said to the two of them: "This is the knight of our city, Allen, who has taken the commander Mogu."

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

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

Brie nodded and shook hands with Edward: "I'm glad you accepted our proposal. Then, we're leaving."

After sending the two people away, Alan, confused, asked, "What did they do?"

"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 Suhl. The condition is that Suhl will be open to adventurers for free. Of course, if adventurers make trouble in the city, these directors We have to be responsible. And the benefit we get is the priority of the commission. The Adventurers Association accepts a wide range of commissions, you know, we can even hire a team of adventurers through them."

"If the price is right, it can even be a few."

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

"It's also the first time I know, after all, this is the border, and we don't know much about this planet." Edward smiled: "It doesn't matter, time is on our side anyway."

"They belong to Storm City, why would they be willing to help us like this?"

Edward laughed and said, "Thanks to Sir Maud."

"why?"

"Because he attacked adventurers." Edward said solemnly, "This is one of his mistakes. Maybe you don't know yet. Belmode met a woman during your absence. 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 fled back desperately."

"I met her and told her to report Maud's evil deeds to the Adventurers Association. Now that the directors of the association like Brie and Beto are afraid that Maud will take them against them, they decided to open a The Association, so that the power can be transferred quietly. I originally just wanted to use this thing to defeat Maude's reputation, at least so that he could not recruit adventurers to deal with us, but I did not think about it but had this unexpected result."

Edward paused and said, "Now it's time to talk about you. Dear Captain Allen, you have disappeared for a few days and it bothers me."

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

Edward shook his head and said, "It turns out that you are going to engage in reconnaissance work, but Captain Allen, taking personal risks is not something a leader should do."

"What's the matter, I won't be so stupid that I ran into the streets of Storm City." Allen made a gesture: "Give me paper and pen."

"Yes, my sir."

Edward personally put the paper and pen on the table. Without saying anything, Allen picked up the pen and drew one of them on the paper according to the information in his mind. He stopped to recall from time to time, and then he began to draw out the lines, and marked important information in key places. The painting stopped until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the topographical sketch of Sir Maud's collar appeared in the eyes of Alan and Edward.
