Destiny Thief

Chapter 53 Fishing in Troubled WatersⅦ

While the two were talking, time passed quickly. The streets outside the "Mermaid Reef" were filled with silvery moonlight, like a thin layer of frost, bringing a bit of desolation and silence to this autumn night.

The number of guests is gradually decreasing, and the jug on the table is also empty.Markuro got up and clapped his hands. Several mercenary attendants sitting in the hall came over. He smiled and looked at the bandit leader, "Mr. Lecter, I hope everything goes well during the trip to Afron."

"All the best."

Glo responded, standing up and holding an empty glass.After seeing Makuro and his party leaving the tavern, he sat back on his chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and began to recall what happened during this time and that night, trying to figure out something.

From the point of view of the merchant Bain, and the fat man, forgive Glo for not knowing Frode's name, a large number of weapons and equipment have flowed into Afron-in the past, things at this level were strictly regulated, Mercenaries, or the personal guards of nobles, without special permission, it is difficult to obtain such elite equipment.Aristocrats changed their costumes in private. If the royal family found out, it would be almost equivalent to an act of treason.It is impossible for the Escud family not to know this, but they still did it. This also proves that the power of the royal family has completely formed a vacuum in the Northland.

On the other hand, according to the contact with the "round brim hat" and the "overbearing hypocrite"-the Royal Navy seems to regard the lord of Nogo as a life-saving straw, and the Escud family, for the entire Afron The grasp of the situation appears to be relaxed and with ease.

In the previous game, there was no magical turn in the development of the situation. The naval power was easily driven away from Afron, and the Escud family became the real power controller from the nominal lord.In the conversation he had just had with Makuro, although the other party's attitude was not completely clear, Glo knew very well that the Escud family did not care about Nogo's possible interference.

Maybe they have analyzed each other's strength?Or, are they convinced that Lord Adam is stuck in a quagmire full of chaos and disputes and cannot move his hands and feet?While thinking about it, Glo substituted his own position into different parties. He knew the principle of the nobles' actions - as long as they do not violate the explicit and hidden rules among the nobles, all actions are for themselves or for themselves. The interests of the group to which they belong.

Now, the "overbearing hypocrite" regards him as Lord Nogo's staff member "Lecter", but surprisingly, he did not show any hostility, on the contrary, there are some friendly expressions.Markuro's words were not stingy about admiring him personally, and it seemed that there was still some solicitation in mind.However, Glo knows his current identity as "Lecter", and he is in the position of that Mr. Staff, so it seems unreasonable to seek refuge here.

Although Glo himself has this idea.

As for Afron's Royal Navy, in the game background of the previous life, they did not belong to the elite of the kingdom, or they would not have fallen to this point.After the failure of the Sixth Eta War, the royal family seemed to suddenly ignore them. What is going on?
Glo didn't know much about Elantra's royal family, but he found that the will of the upper echelon was full of doubts in Afron, and there were too many unreasonable places, like a messy jigsaw puzzle, in his mind composed of various With a vague picture scroll, he envisioned various possibilities, and gradually fell into hesitation - should he use his identity to attach himself to the Escud family, or help the Royal Navy out of the predicament?Although he is not a strong man who can control the balance of power between the two sides, but with the foresight from his previous life experience, he can do many, many things.

choice.Glo thought of this word in an instant. Three years after he came to this world, he found that he was finally standing at the crossroads of fate again.

The lights in the tavern flickered and gradually dimmed. The waiters began to push the chairs back under the tables. The boss leaned over the counter and was calculating the day's income.The singers of the tavern have also left, without those music, the whole tavern is unusually quiet, even the crisp chirping of crickets can be heard in the corner.

Is the icing on the cake, or is it sending carbon in the snow?

After careful consideration, Glo hesitated and walked towards the stairway of the tavern.He booked a room at the "Mermaid Reef", and the only sound of moonlight and waves beating on the reef was left on the port pier under the night. At this time, most people had already fallen asleep.

……

The alcohol content of the rum is not high. Sai Lun pulled up his collar and rushed to the naval station with fast steps. A fire seemed to be burning in his heart, roasting his soul until his soul burned. Kuro's teasing and contempt made it difficult for him to calm down. He gritted his teeth tightly, but sadly found that there was nothing he could do about it.

The waves kept churning, and the autumn night sea breeze came from the street, washing away the warmth from the alcohol, and also washed away the sadness and anger. Sai Lun suddenly shuddered—he immediately woke up from the chill , He thought of his responsibilities, Afron's current situation, and some difficulties faced by the Royal Navy.What he should do right now is definitely not to hide in the warm bed and cry like a coward.

Wait, that gentleman from Karthus?

Sai Lun suddenly stopped in his tracks, but he found that he had unknowingly returned to the Royal Navy's station in Afron. The edge of the tower was shining, and he saw two heads sticking out.

"Sir!"

The two young sentries shouted respectfully, their voices were very neat, and there seemed to be an extraordinary tacit understanding between them.

"I am back."

Sai Lun sighed leisurely, and the sentries ran down from the sentry tower and opened the gate.Seeing the two young men whose faces were flushed by the wind, Sai Lun couldn't help narrowing his eyes, and his eye sockets became a little moist—no matter what the situation is, there are people who stick to their responsibilities, so why would he be so easy? What about discouraged and depressed?
Thinking back to what happened in the tavern tonight, he quickly made up his mind and walked towards the barracks not far away.Several lights were on in the barracks, and instead of returning to his room, he went straight to a slightly larger house in the camp.He stood in front of the house and saw the bright lights in the room from the window on one side. He knew that Lord Leos hadn't rested yet.

Boom!

After two rhythmic knocks on the door, a middle-aged man with slightly white temples and a majestic face opened the door.
