Destiny Thief

Chapter 50 Fishing in Troubled Waters III

The sea is calm in autumn, but the weather on this section of the road near the coast is gloomy. The sky is like a white curtain splashed with ink. One or two seagulls are soaring alone, skimming arcs of circles in the sky.

Glo was sitting in the carriage, chatting with the caravan guy driving the carriage. It has been two days since he came to this caravan, and now he finally has a new identity—Golden Shell Chamber of Commerce A captain of the guard.This new "identity" was the result of his discussions with the leader of the caravan, Bain.After these two days, from Baine's arrogance when they first met, to the present respect and politeness, the relationship between the two seems to have gotten a lot closer.

At least, that's what Bane thinks.

He sat in the carriage, which was embedded with a thick layer of felt cloth, making it airtight. In the middle of the carriage, a small round bronze stove was fixed on a wooden frame, and the split wood was crackling and burning. , dispelling the cold air.

Bane poured himself a jug of wine, and the warm liquid dripped from his tongue into his throat, making him squint his eyes slightly in comfort, but he was not drunk.He opened the curtain and poked his head out of the car window, and shouted to the bandit leader behind:
"This damn weather! Mr. Knight, come over for a drink or two?"

"Okay, I can smell the wine."

Hearing Bain's greeting, Glo said goodbye to the caravan men beside him, jumped out of the carriage, and quickly changed to the one that Bain was riding in.After this period of contact, Glo has a little understanding of Bain. This caravan leader is not completely rude, but the urgency of this trip makes him feel extremely depressed. middle.

The Escud family, it seems, can't wait to get their claws out.Gro thought to himself.

In "Dispute" in his previous life, Glo was not a task party who was keen on the plot, but after passing through the novice period, he also had a lot of familiarity with the background of the game at that time-the sixth Egyptian battle with the Tasians After the defeat of the Tower War, the power of the royal family in the North was greatly weakened.And this kind of weakening also made the ambitions of the local nobles grow wildly like weeds in the spring field, followed by various fights intensified, the situation in the kingdom gradually collapsed, and the prelude to the disputes began.

Northland, Navalport, Afron.It has been three months since Glo came to this port city in the game in his previous life, and the control of the entire city has completely fallen into the hands of the Escud family, although the methods used are in the realm of moral justice. The level is not so convincing, but after mastering the port and gaining the benefits of seaborne trade, Escud quickly became a real rich family in the Northland.

The space in the carriage was not too spacious, and Glo sat cross-legged opposite Bain, their wine glasses colliding lightly.

"Mr. Knight, the road ahead is smooth!"

"Mr. Bain, everything goes well!"

"Mr. Knight, the nobles of Karthus, are you really planning to intervene in Afron's affairs? But I think it is too reckless to intervene blindly now. The current situation of the Royal Navy is not very optimistic."

After putting down the wine glass, Bain put away his expression and asked in a caring tone of an old friend.The identity shown by the bandit leader is the secret messenger of Old Aaron, the lord of Karthus. On the other hand, Old Aaron, as His Majesty’s traveling companion when he was young, has always been a solid supporter of the royal family. Bain already knew about the private rumors.

"It's just to find out the situation, and then report to the lord."

Glo didn't change his face when he told lies, and he stroked his chin, but the naked feeling made him feel very awkward.In fact, some of what Bain said was true or false. In his heart, he didn't have too many obvious inclinations towards the Escud family and the royal family, because they were just some NPCs in the game.

And the PK crazy otaku has always ignored NPCs, except when the red name meets the city guards.

This trip to Afron, whether it is the Royal Navy or the Escud family, if he and his bandit group can get a good way out, he doesn't mind taking refuge temporarily—why is it temporary? ?The otaku who came from time travel has vigorous ambitions, and he is not willing to stay under others for a long time.

"I'm worried it's going to get out of hand - but right now, it's not a bad situation."

Bain once again raised his wine glass to greet the bandit leader, "The sales of the goods are very good. This is the best situation in the past two years." The goods he was talking about were exactly the same as the fat businessman Floyd, Some weapons and armor.Logically speaking, these things should have been kept strictly confidential, but the bandit leader revealed his "identity" and "inadvertently" showed a convincing military swordsmanship, but it also made the people who wanted to cling to the nobles of Karthas The businessman let go of his mind.

"This is also the lord's worry. The Northland really can't stand too much trouble."

The bandit leader looked "dignified".

……

The night in Aflon fell quietly, and the civilians who had worked hard all day returned to their homes. In each small house, smoke curled up from the cooking pots, and the neighborhood changed from bustling and lively during the day to a peaceful one.The whole family gathered around the steaming table, talking and laughing while waiting for the food.

This can be regarded as a rare happiness in the troubled times of the Northland.

The port city of Afron is not too small.Although it is located in the corner of the Northland, due to overseas trade, the prosperity of commerce has attracted a large number of foreigners. In addition to a small number of locals, there are also businessmen and mercenaries from all over the kingdom, rich people from overseas islands, Adventurers, all kinds of people, make up this city.

At the beginning of its establishment, the city was originally just a military port. With the arrival of the crowd, the city gradually expanded in size. House after house, the scattered houses are gradually dense, and the orderly arrangement forms the streets, and the streets form the urban area. After a hundred years, Afron has become one of the largest cities in the Northland.

If it weren't for the arrival of the sixth Eta war, the Afron expansion project on the kingdom's agenda would have even become a reality.

However, after the chaos in the Northland arrived, the city did not wither and decline because of the rare peace and prosperity in the troubled times, the whole of Afron became more and more developed.

Glo came to Avron again, and after going through the gates and down a street, he jumped out of the carriage and onto the little black horse.The destination, the tavern, is of course not the first time in the "Dolphin Country" where Afron went, but something else.

In any case, in Glo's plan, the first step is to go to the tavern, and through some information of three religions and nine streams, after screening and analysis, understand the current situation in Afron.
