Hearing the voice coming from behind, the veiled woman turned around and saw a half-elf with pointed ears standing not far away, holding a large bag of fried beans in his hand. He was chewing and looking at himself suspiciously.
"Can you...see me?" The veiled woman-Melita Bonia looked at this half-elf who had met once in surprise. Of course she remembered it. The other party, as a senior agent of the Mithril Treasure House, has a good memory, so she also clearly remembers the combat power of this half-elf guard. A half-elf who is slightly stronger than a goose can easily see it. Yourself?
"Is it difficult to see you?" Amber chewed fried beans. She still hadn't remembered who the veiled girl in front of her was, whose painting style was different from that of the entire camp. So her face was full of curiosity, "By the way, who are you? A businessman here to do business? Is there finally a businessman here who is willing to come?"
I don't know how she can contact the person in front of her with the businessman. Together...
"Businessman...if you have to say so, it seems pretty good," Melita smiled, and casually removed her concealment effect and psychological suggestion spells. Fortunately, she was nearby. There was no one else, otherwise the people coming and going would be in a commotion if they saw the people on the street changed. "Are you the guard of Duke Gawain Cecil? Please show me the way. I'm here to talk to him about something." "
"Oh (crunch), okay," Amber threw two more fried beans into his mouth, then walked to Melita and stretched out his hand, "(crunch) three. Copper coins."
Melita was stunned: "Why?"
"Bring the toll"
Melita: " ... Are you interested in working at Mithril Treasure House?"
"Huh?" Amber was stunned for a moment, and then she was reminded of something by the word Mithril Treasure House. Suddenly she was several meters away from Melita, "Ah! Mithril Treasure House! I remembered! I saw you last time!"
"It's me," Melita Smiling, I feel that this half-elf is really interesting. Every one of her surprised and unexpected reactions is exaggerated and impressive, "Your lord invited me here, so now you still have to bring travel expenses?"
"Hey, I thought I could get some extra money - I couldn't even earn any errand fees by being that old rice dumpling's lackey. It's such a loss," Amber murmured, then waved his hand, "Okay. "Okay, come with me, I'll take you to see him."
Under Amber's leadership, Melita soon came to the depths of the territory, and she saw a large tent. It stood in the middle of the open space, and a foundation had been laid beside the open space. A large number of bricks, wood and stones were piled aside, as if they were preparing to build a big house.
"He's in the tent. He shouldn't be taking a nap at this time," Amber strode towards the tent, "Wait outside, I'll go in and let you know."
After a while, MeiRita then heard the careless voice of the half-elf coming from the tent: "Gawain! The agent named mylittlepony is here to find you!"
Melita frowned in confusion: That guy Why do the people around him pronounce words so strangely?
Gao Wen has been waiting for the agent to come to visit him for many days, and he finally got to see her today - the agent is still dressed in the same way as last time, wearing a strange gauze dress. skirt, with a lavender veil covering her face, her temperament is mysterious and elegant.
Hu Amber saw this agent wandering around near the brick kiln factory, but before that, no one reported that outsiders were in the territory.
This is really a young lady accompanied by mystery.
"Long time no see, Miss Melita," Gawain stood up from behind the table with a smile, "I thought you would have to wait a long time to come. After all, the transportation here is not very convenient. "Please sit down."
"There are always many convenient ways to the Mithril Treasury," Melita also smiled, "And I'm glad you finally pronounced my name correctly."
p>Gawain suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Ah haha... don't say it so full, maybe you will pronounce it wrong next time."
"The Duke is really a funny man." Mei Rita bowed and said gracefully.
She still did not take off the veil, but obviously Gawain didn't care about it. He just looked at the agent from the mithril treasure house curiously: "You seem to be in my territory.' After visiting it, what do you think?"
"It's a very nice place, better than I imagined, and there are many strange...magic devices," Melita said calmly, "But What I'm more curious about is here - you still live in tents, but let the civilians live in wooden houses first. It's really strange."
"Most of them are workshops or for technicians. In this place, the infrastructure construction of the territory must be given priority," Gawain explained. "As for here... you should have seen the large open space next to the tent. My tent will be demolished soon. "< /p>
Melita opened her eyes slightly: "I thought it was a barracks for knights and soldiers. It seems that you don't plan to build a castle for yourself?"
"There will be more in the future. Let’s talk about the conditions, building that now is a waste,” Gawain waved his hand, “Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s talk about business.”
“Of course,” Melita still remembered why she came here. Purpose, "Please let me see the ring you got."
Gawain took out the mithril ring he got from the cultist on the spot, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Melita .
The moment the agent saw the silver-white ring, she narrowed her eyes slightly and her eyes became serious: obviously the thing was indeed real.
She picked up the ring, observed it carefully in front of her, and rubbed the inside of the ring to determine the encrypted patterns. Finally, she removed the ring.Put it to your lips and whisper a few syllables.
The syllables sounded vague and indistinguishable. Gawain almost immediately discovered that they were not ordinary spells. The sound that was almost a whisper did not even sound like human vocal cords. As these syllables fell, a hazy light suddenly appeared on the surface of the ring, and it trembled slightly.
After more than ten seconds, these phenomena gradually dissipated.
After completing this spell that seemed to be a special identification, Melita exhaled softly, but her voice was not relaxed at all, but was extremely serious: "That's right... he is a distinguished guest of the Mithril Treasure House. The token’s owner is Bud Wendell.”
“Bud Wendell?” Gawain frowned. He didn’t recognize most of the contemporary big shots, but he didn’t recognize the last names of those big shots. Many of them are familiar, "I have heard of the surname Wendell. There was a stupid young man named Wendell among the group of people who walked east."
"That's right, Bud Wendell." Del, a descendant of the Wendel family of the Typhon Empire," Melita's eyes looked very serious, "You should be able to imagine that the Wendel family is as old as your Cecil family, and it has been passed down to this day and is one of the best in the Typhon Empire. The current Archduke Ferdinand Wendell is the most powerful 'Knight Lord' in the Typhon Empire, and he is also the wolf general of the previous generation, and he is the descendant of the 'Stupid Youth' you call him.
"Knight Lord?" Gawain frowned, "Is he the kind of lord I know?"
"No, that was after the military reform of the Typhon Empire. "This is a unique title," Melita explained casually. "The Typhon Empire has undergone many reforms in recent decades, especially in terms of military system. They have organized and registered all knights, warriors, mages and other extraordinary combatants. , formed an 'imperial regiment' that was not based on the private soldiers of nobles from various places, and the knight lord was the military leader who commanded the knights in this regiment."
Gao Wenwen just asked casually, but he didn't know. He didn't expect to hear such news, and he frowned: "The Typhon Empire has established a professional and regular army of extraordinary beings?!"
"Yes," Melita nodded matter-of-factly , "That's why their military strength developed so fast."
"...the gang of drunkards and ricebags in the royal capital," Gawain clenched his fists subconsciously, "I didn't even hear this in Ansu. Even when I asked the nobles in the royal capital, I couldn’t find out these things!”
“Ah, they don’t really know anything about what’s happening in neighboring countries, but they don’t know anything about it! It’s hard to say why they don’t want to take it seriously,” Melita shrugged indifferently, “We can discuss this kind of national-level matter in the future, but let’s continue talking about the cultists and the ring.”
"Okay," Gawain unclenched his fist, "The owner of this ring, Bard Wendel, what is his relationship with the contemporary Archduke Ferdinand Wendel?"
"Bad Wendel Wendell isThe only son of Archduke Ferdinand was also the previous generation’s General Wolf,” Melita said word by word, “and the most important thing is that he disappeared more than ten years ago! "
Gawain's eyes became strange: "The heir of the Wendell family and the general of the Typhon Empire, it would not be surprising if he was a big customer of your mithril treasure house, but... I am frankly What Sang Zhen saw was a level five fallen druid! "
The difference between these two identities was so huge that Gawain couldn't connect them at all. He glanced at the ring in Melita's hand and shook his head subconsciously: "I Now I begin to suspect that the cultist stole or picked up the ring. "
"Unfortunately, your suspicion is still unfounded," Melita shook her head. "I have checked it. Except for your contact record, this ring has not been found to be inconsistent with other information." In other words, this ring had been worn on Bud Wendell’s hand before and had never changed hands.
"The fifth-level fallen druid you saw... is Bard Wendell himself."
Gawain was stunned and speechless.
But soon, a few details flashed through his mind:
When he fought with cultists before, the opponent always subconsciously engaged in melee combat, even if he had more powerful weapons. He also chose to hide in the shadows and assassinate himself with a sword.
During the battle, the cultist showed extremely good swordsmanship and was obviously very experienced in using swords.
The weapon of the cultist was a one-handed sword, and the weapon used by Tilian Wendell in the East Road Pioneer Group was also a one-handed sword. The swordsmanship of the two seems to be very close. The possibility of being of the same origin is very high...
