Dominate the world in three weeks?

With the help of the scouts, it was easier to avoid the lairs of some herd monsters and magic plants, and Terrence and the others left the Tower of White Bone Forest at a much faster speed.

Five days later, a group of people came out of the dense forest in a hurry. Whether it was Evan or Terrence, they didn't look much different from the dirty and emaciated ordinary adventurers around them.

But for Terrence, who is currently in an awkward position, the less attention he gets, the better.

They didn't rush into the city, but let the scouts go nearby to find out the news, while Evan and Lancer escorted Terrence into the supply store outside the city.

"Please wear this one first." Lanser picked out at the mage supplies for a while, and handed Terrence a short black cloak with a hood. "Although it is very simple, please bear with it for a while."

"It's okay, I know this is not the time to be willful." Terrence took off the long cloth that was temporarily used as a hat, put on a cloak, and covered his black hair, which was quite representative of his identity. "Don't use honorifics to me anymore, just call me Hyman. Didn't we agree before?"

"Yes! . . . Mr. Hyman."

"So take it easy, take it easy."

Terrence smiled and patted Lancer on the back, and walked out from behind him.The songbird poked its head out of Terrence's cuff, and yelled at Evan as if agreeing with his master's words. Dangerously returned to Terrence.

Terrence reached out and touched Songbird's head, and said softly, "Hide it obediently, my dear, and I'll give you something good to eat later."

The quills on the songbird's head swung left and right, and it retracted obediently.

Evan said on the side: "We don't have the documents of the regular mercenary group, why don't we just sell the magic crystals we got along the way here? Although the price will be lower, it can relatively avoid some doubts."

"Just do as you said." Terrence nodded, "In addition, if necessary, I will also add some weapons and armor for everyone, there is still a long way to go, no matter what, it is important to protect yourself It comes first."

"Yes!"

Terrence pulled the brim of his hat helplessly because of the solemn attitude of the two people, avoiding some curious gazes, and said, "Let's find a place to sit down and rest first, it seems strange to stand here."

Within an hour, the scouts found the three of Terrence with the information they inquired.

They walked all the way north and arrived at the city called Turner City, which was one of the fifteen border cities of the empire. At present, everything in the city was normal, and the imperial capital seemed to maintain a temporary calm, and no news came to the border.

"How is it, Mr. Hyman?" Evan looked at Terrence who was thinking.

"Turner City..." Terrence knocked on the table, "Although I haven't heard that the owner of the city is a supporter of Duke Pacino, we still can't take it lightly under the current situation. Let's proceed according to the previous plan." , heading to Cusack City along the way."

Lancer hesitated for a moment and said: "With all due respect, although Viscount Cantor has always had a good relationship with you, sir, but now I don't know if he has any plans to turn to the enemy, and it is not a good thing to trust the other party too much. "

"However, there are not many people who can lend a helping hand. We need supplies and a false identity that can safely reach the imperial capital. Cusack City is the closest choice. I don't trust Kantel; Knowing him, I plan to ask him for the past favors. Instead of asking him for justice and injustice, it is better to tell him the debt of favor. What's more, Cantel replaced Cusack, and Pacino himself There is a gap, isn't it closer to us than to other people?"

Terrence finished his serious analysis, glanced around at his subordinates who had been with him through hardships, and smiled: "Even if all the roads are blocked, I will still have you all, and I will definitely reach the imperial capital smoothly!"

Evan looked at the soldiers' eyes lit up because of Terrence's language, and couldn't help but feel relieved from the bottom of his heart.A good leader not only needs to stick to his own path, but also points out the direction for his followers.If Terrence was still lacking before, after this trip to the forest, the other party has completely matured.

After a short rest, Terrence and the others embarked on a journey again, zigzag along the periphery of the Tower of White Bone Forest to their destination - Cusack City.

"Ah, it's been more than five years since I last stood here." Terrence looked at the city wall from the edge of the forest and said to Lancer.

"Indeed, you entered the city in women's clothing at the time, and now that you think about it, I really miss you." Lancer nodded seriously.

Because the other party looked too serious, Terrence was able to reply calmly: "...What are you missing?"

Lanser turned his head, compared him to the height of his waist and said, "At that time, I just thought you were cute when you wore a skirt, but now...will you have a nosebleed?"

After a short silence, Terrence blushed suddenly, stepped on Lancer's foot and said, "What about becoming an excellent knight? Are etiquette and shame still deep in the forest?"

"As your knight, of course you must be cautious in your words and deeds. But as your suitor, if you don't work hard, you will be a stupid man."

Lanser blinked and said, he looked understated, but Terrence still saw the careful temptation hidden in the depths of his eyes.

For some reason, Terrence wanted to sigh deeply.

Evan noticed the movement between the two people and walked over: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Terrence waved his hand, Evan's sudden insertion made him inexplicably relieved, and took the opportunity to talk about business. "Can I enter the city now?"

"Yeah." Evan nodded. "We borrowed a mercenary document from someone else, so we should be able to get away with it."

"... Borrowed?" Terrence asked subconsciously.

Isn't there only one qualification document for the mercenary group?How should the person who borrowed the documents enter the city?

Terrence looked at Evan's meaningful smiling face, and suddenly felt that it was better not to delve into it - the soldiers of the Goshawk Legion with great military exploits would steal ordinary people's things. If the ancestors of the past generations knew about it, they might beat him severely A whip.

Terrence held his forehead and thought, at least fortunately, after he died, he didn't have to go to the royal ancestors to apologize.

Summer is over and autumn is approaching, followed by snowy winter.In the days before the Bone Tower forest was closed, the mercenary group and adventurers who hadn't gained much had stepped up their work, so there had been a lot of people entering and leaving the forest recently.

This gave Terrence and the others a chance to sneak into the city.

In addition to one's own identity certificate, one needs to obtain qualification documents like mercenary regiments and caravans to enter and exit the city gate.The identities of Evan and others linked to the Goshawk Legion are useless at this time, let alone the "dead" Terrence.

The guarding soldiers casually read the paperwork submitted by Evan, and immediately turned their attention to the endless queue behind them.

This made Terrence and his party, whose numbers did not match the documents, breathe a sigh of relief.

Without delay, they rushed to the City Lord's Mansion immediately.Terrence delivered the letter he had written long ago to the guard guarding the gate, and stood outside waiting silently.Although Terrence himself wasn't too worried, the others cautiously put their hands on the weapons around their waists for his safety.

After 10 minutes, the guard who went in to report came out, bringing news of the incoming news.

Terrence turned his head to Evan and said, "I'll go in with Lancer, you're waiting for me outside."

"... Please be careful." Evan nodded, watching Terrence's figure disappear behind the gate of the Santo's Mansion.

Raymond Cantor was already pacing back and forth at the door of the living room anxiously. When he saw the two people brought in by the servant, he immediately stopped his restless steps and turned his gaze to the petite man covered by the cloak. People who live in appearance.

Under Cantor's eager gaze, Terrence took off his hood, revealing his long curly black hair.

"You are safe and sound, Your Excellency!" In the living room where the servants had been dismissed, Raymond Cantel excitedly stepped forward to kiss Terrence's fingertips.

The other party seemed to still have hope for his future, which made Terrence wonder if something serious happened to the imperial capital again.

Terrence's conjecture was also confirmed in the following conversation with Raymond Cantor.

Since the Duke of Pacino came to power as an agent, in order to completely suppress Her Majesty the Queen, he has wanted to fight against dissidents.Not to mention those veterans who support His Majesty, even the neutral faction who has always been ambiguous/ambiguous will be suppressed.The Kantel family in the imperial capital was in charge of the finances and played an important role, so that they would not be ousted by Pacino.

It's no wonder that Raymond Cantel is so panic-stricken. Without Terrence's secret support, he can still get help from his family, but if even Cantel falls, according to Pacino's narrow-minded The way he behaves will definitely not make it easier for Raymond, who once reported on Viscount Cusack.

"In addition," Raymond Canter said with a frown, "I just received a notice from the imperial capital yesterday, because your Excellency was murdered by Abant's spies, and Pacino, acting as the emperor, was deeply saddened, and thought that Alder Leiter's bloodline should not be cut off, let your younger brother Angus Ed inherit the surname, and because of his special status, he will be demoted to one rank, and he will be made an earl soon."

Terrence was silent for a while, and showed a sneer: "That old man Pacino is really calculating, and he will trample on my reputation as Aldret. In this way, his reputation of benevolence and virtue will be fulfilled, and his reputation will be weakened. Aldrete's prestige is really a bargain."

The author has something to say:

When the Queen stuffed Angus into the Aldret Mansion, she only claimed that Angus was the adopted son of the old Duke. Now not only has this lie been exposed, but the illegitimate son who has not been named will inherit the title while being ridiculed by others , also lost the right to inherit the throne.

"Can my shrewd good brother tolerate Pacino's humiliation and use of him?" Terrence's sneer became meaningful.

Knowing the lifetime hatred between Terrence and Angus, Lancer couldn't help pressing Terrence's shoulder to comfort him.

Terrence turned around and smiled at the blond knight, and said, "Don't worry about me, just let the two of them toss each other."

"Aren't you going to take your inheritance back from your brother?" Cantor asked.

"Take it back?" Terrence asked lightly, "No, he can give it to him if he wants it. My status as the Duke of Aldret will not change, and he is just a meaningless 'Earl' , What do I want to take back from him? If I really want to say it, I should attack Pacino who stole the throne."

"It's my short-sightedness." Raymond said with emotion, "Your Excellency, you have high ambitions, and I will help you as much as I can. If you know that you are still safe and sound, Your Excellency the Minister of Finance will definitely help you."

Terrence smiled reservedly.

The good brains of the Cantel family, who are born to settle accounts, can always help them seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.The fact that the queen is still alive is the key factor for them to bet on themselves. Once Terrence loses this biggest backer, the situation will definitely not be like this now.What's more, the Cantel family, which has no military power, has limited help after all. Even if he fails and dies at that time, the other party will definitely be able to escape.

Terrence saw it very clearly, and didn't think there was anything wrong with such a utilitarian relationship.Kantel once saved him, and he promised the other party the benefits of promotion.Now that the other party is still willing to give charcoal in a timely manner, Terrence will naturally keep this favor in mind.

As a Viscount, Raymond Canter did not have a teleportation array directly leading to the imperial capital in his city lord's mansion, but with the authority of the city lord, Terrence and his party obtained a new identity, and a mercenary group's qualification paperwork.

With these things, Terrence can save a lot of trouble on his way north to the imperial capital.

"Mr. Hayman, where do we go next?"

Standing in the lobby of the mercenary union, Evan, who had just registered his information, turned his questioning gaze to Terrence.

Terrence was standing in front of the bulletin board where the missions were announced, and carefully sifted through the information. Hearing Evan's question, he pointed to one of the missions: "Take this mission and let's go to Cumberland."
