Lord Chronicle

Chapter 239 Rendezvous
"This...is this really Ferry?" Looking at the bustling street in front of him, Saul asked in disbelief.

Unlike the imaginary situation where the soldiers are in danger and the battle is fierce, and the security is strictly guarded, the night in Ferry City is very lively.The streets are brightly lit, people are coming and going, taverns and shops are open for business, and a steady stream of people is haunting the streets and alleys.

If you hadn't seen the Lulin soldiers who were in groups of three and four on the street, who were also having fun, it would be hard to imagine that this is the enemy's occupied area.

Seeing the surprised look of Sol and others, the thief explained: "Although Ferry City has been occupied, it is actually the same as before except for a lot of Lulin troops."

"Aren't the enemies on guard at all?" Gein asked strangely.

The thief smiled and said: "How to guard against it? Ferry City has a population of over one million, and it is the economic and cultural center of the entire western region of Dinar. There are countless caravans and travelers coming and going every day. Although the number has decreased a lot after the outbreak of the war, Lu Lin The army also strictly checked when they entered the city, but it was still impossible to stop everyone."

"It's even more helpless in the city. The population of Ferry City is complex, and there are many invisible guys hiding in it. Just like our guild, which has been entrenched in Ferry City for so many years, we are confident that the Lulin Army will be able to save their lives if they conduct a comprehensive search. It’s just that I can’t move freely anymore.”

"Lu Lin also understands this, so under Cliff's suggestion, as long as there is nothing too outrageous, everything will go on as usual. Otherwise, if you really have to force it, the city will never have another day of peace."

The three of them secretly thought that this was the case, and it can be seen from this that Cliff's skills are brilliant.Even if it is occupied, it secretly holds Ferry City in its hands.

After entering the city, the guards were divided into several teams, and led by other thieves, they went to the hiding places provided by the four major chambers of commerce through different routes to avoid attracting attention.

Under the leadership of the thief, the three of Sol walked to the main street, and at the same time observed the current situation in Ferry City.In order to prevent Mira from causing trouble, Saul took her with him.

Along the way, everyone was surprised by what they saw. They didn't expect that Ferry could still maintain such prosperity. Compared with the lifeless towns in other occupied areas, there was a world of difference.

After all, with an ulterior purpose, the few people walked on the street at first, still a little uneasy, but later found that no one paid attention to them, and then gradually started to stalk.

I have to say that they should really be grateful to Cliff. With such an environment, they will be able to avoid many unnecessary troubles when they implement their plans in the future.

After the war started, even Dusk, the capital of the kingdom, was depressed a lot. Lovell was too small to be compared with Ferry. They hadn't seen such a lively place for a long time.

Looking at the bustling shops next to each other on the street, the taverns full of people, and the scantily clad girls throwing seductive eyes at passers-by, the three of them, who have lived like ascetic monks for half a month since they set off from Lovell, They couldn't help but fire from their eyes.

If it hadn't been necessary to rush to meet Darth as soon as possible, the three guys might have disappeared long ago.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of the thieves, they finally came to the place where they stayed.

This is a large house located in a business district. The three-story bungalow stands in a courtyard. The house is very old, and the ivy on the outer courtyard wall has dried up, leaving only a large yellow leaf.

Surrounded by tall and short houses and shops, this house is hidden in it without being noticeable.In addition, there are many people in the commercial area, and caravans of all sizes come in and out every day. No one will notice that there are dozens of outsiders here, and it is an excellent hiding place.

As expected of the four powerful chambers of commerce, Sol knew that he had found the right person this time only from this foothold.

"That's the end of my mission, I'll take my leave." At this moment, the thief said to the two of them.

The Thieves Guild was only responsible for bringing Sol and the others into the city and sending them here. From the beginning to the end, the thief never inquired about the origin of Sol and the others, nor the purpose of the trip.After completing the task at this moment, he left immediately, very simply.

Knowing that all of this was arranged by Garrett, Saul was not polite to him.After the thieves left, the three came to the house and knocked on the door.

"Who?" came a vigilant voice from the room.

The three looked at each other, and Sol said in a deep voice, "Those who come from the north to do business, please stop talking nonsense and open the door."

This was a code word discussed by everyone in advance, and a hidden compartment above the door snapped open, revealing a pair of eyes to look at the three of them, followed by the door opening.

The one who opened the door was a garrison member who followed Darth and entered the city first among the caravans.Seeing Sol, he said happily: "My lord, you are finally here."

"Where's Darth? Did it go well?" Saul asked as he walked through the door.

The guard nodded: "Mr. Das is in the house, we are safe."

Walking into the back room, I saw Das talking with a man in his 40s.When he saw the three of Saul coming in, he was overjoyed to welcome them.

"Finally here, I thought you were missing in the forest."

Gein punched him unceremoniously: "We almost died of exhaustion on the road, but you, Jingui, have already gone to the city to enjoy the blessing."

Das yelled loudly: "What a blessing, I'm hiding here in fear, not even daring to come out."

Saul asked, "When did you enter the city?"

Das thought for a while: "Actually, it's not a few days earlier than you guys. I just arrived five days ago. The inspections when entering the city are very strict, and those things almost revealed their secrets. Fortunately, the four major chambers of commerce have a large number of people, so they got away with it."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Is the journey going well?"

Sol nodded: "Fortunately, after we came out of the relic forest, we rushed all the way to..."

Suddenly, he noticed the strange man in the room, immediately stopped talking, and gave him a wary look.

The man was also very obedient, and he immediately said: "This must be Sir Marquis Sol. I am in Chesler, and I am the contact person of the Chamber of Commerce. Since several adults have already entered the city, there is nothing to do. I My store is the warehouse at the entrance of the business district, please feel free to come to me if you need anything.”

Saying that, he bowed politely to everyone, then took his leave and left.

"Is this guy reliable?" Walsa asked after Chesler left.

Das nodded and said: "It should be fine. This house is his private house in name, and he will help cover up any problems. In addition, we can provide food, accommodation and other needs during our stay in Ferry City. do it."

The food needed by dozens of people is not a small amount. In addition, there are various daily necessities such as clothing and medicine. Sol and the others don't know how long they will stay in Ferry City. If they buy it all by themselves, they may show their flaws.But it would be much more convenient to hand it over to a coward like Chesler.

Saul was relieved now, and he said, "Is everything there?"

Das gave a thumbs up and pointed behind him: "It's all in the cellar in the backyard, and I have sent someone to guard it all day. There are no outsiders in this house, and it is very safe."

Sol was about to speak when Mira, who had been following him, suddenly tugged at his sleeve.Only then did Sol think of her, and looking down, he saw Mira making a gesture to eat.

While she helped a lot by leading the way through the relic forest, Mira's mischievous and unpredictable personality was also a big problem.I just hope that this little girl will not cause any trouble while staying in Ferry City.

He said to a guard: "Take Mira to the kitchen."

The guard understood and took Mira to have supper.Das looked at her back and said with a smile: "With her, our food demand may have doubled."

"Is there really no way to send her away?" Walsa couldn't help but ask.

He still seemed horrified at the prospect of sharing the same roof with Mira.

Sol said helplessly: "No matter what, she helped a lot this time. Besides, how can I rest assured that she will go back alone? If something happens, Marlene must be in a hurry with me."

As he said that, he smiled: "Don't worry, I will try my best to create a chance for you to be alone with her. Anyway, I still owe her a promise."

This tactic seems to be getting more and more effective lately as a way to frighten Walsa.Sure enough, the magician immediately became excited, Das asked what was going on out of curiosity, Gein naturally added fuel and vinegar, and the room immediately became noisy.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the guards who came scattered to arrive one after another. As the last group of people entered the house, all the personnel for this operation were present.

After sending a night shadow and several guards out to guard, Thor called everyone together.

Regarding this operation, except for Saul and the other four, everyone who came this time knew nothing about it, including Chip and Kress.It's not that Sol doesn't trust them, but that this secret is too important, and he must limit the insiders to a minimum range.

So starting from Lovell, Saul didn't say a word about the destination of the trip and what he was going to do.Out of trust in him, the guards did not ask a single word. They just loyally guarded Sol, passed through the vast relic forest, and crossed the vast Bahrain Plain until they arrived here.

But Sol knew that at this moment, it was time to make an explanation to everyone.

Looking at his most trusted subordinates in front of him, Sol said: "First of all, I would like to thank you all. You followed me, walked through the most dangerous route in the Majna continent, and entered the enemy's hinterland. This time, no matter the result Either way, your courage will be praised."

"Then, I think everyone should really want to know the purpose of sneaking into the Bahrain Territory this time, right?"

Hearing this sentence, Lesta immediately yelled: "Of course, these days I'm just rushing on my way, and I don't know why, I'm suffocating to death. If it weren't for Kress and Chipla, I would have I just want to drag you, brother-in-law, to a place where no one is around, and force you to find out."

Sol secretly wiped his sweat, I said why is the most impatient elder brother so honest these days, it turned out to be the case.It was so dangerous that he was almost abused and lynched.

Although he didn't yell like Lesta, all the defenders showed expressions of eagerness to know.Their loyalty to Thor is unquestionable, and they dare to follow him to any dangerous place, but no matter what, at least they must know why.

Kress couldn't help opening his mouth, but he still restrained himself.Only Chip looked the same as always, as if as long as it was something Sol asked him to do, he didn't need any reason.

However, facing everyone's expectant eyes, Sol slowly said: "But the purpose of this trip, I can't tell everyone yet."

"What!?" Lesta immediately jumped up.

The defenders couldn't help being in an uproar. Although no one questioned Sol, whispered discussions were inevitable, and the room immediately buzzed.

After all, following Sol to the heart of the enemy thousands of miles away, but without any explanation, anyone would have some resentment, right?
Sol raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I understand everyone's feelings. I have come here but can't know anything. If it were me, I would think that the guy in front of me is a jerk."

The humorous words immediately caused the defenders to chuckle, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Lesta snorted: "It's good to know, why don't you say it?"

Sol scratched his head: "Brother, I'm sorry. But this time we have to do something very important. I can only say that if we succeed, this war will end immediately. But if one is not good, our entire army will be wiped out immediately. .So, I can only choose to be a jerk."

As he said that, he said earnestly: "Everyone is the bravest soldier in the territory. They have followed me to resist the invasion of the undead, and they have also followed me to fight bloody battles with the Lulin people in Diviji Castle. The whole Dinar knows that Lovell The valor of the garrison.”

"And what we are going to do this time will be a hundred times more meaningful than those before. Therefore, this time, please trust me, follow me, and help me achieve the final success. I promise, it is definitely worth fighting for."

Finally, Saul said seriously: "So, please allow me to keep it secret for the time being, but as soon as the time is right, I will tell you the details immediately. Of course, if anyone is still dissatisfied with not being able to know the truth, I can let him leave immediately, and Arrange for the four major chambers of commerce to send him back to the territory safely, and we will never blame him."

After speaking, he looked at the crowd silently, waiting for their answers.

Immediately, the room fell into silence. The guards looked at me and I looked at you. Gradually, everyone's eyes tended to be the same.Apparently, they all made the same decision.

It was Leesta who jumped up first: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, you are my brother-in-law, no matter what, I can't leave you alone. Besides, if I want to go back like this, Kafir will not smash me. head."

As he said that, he slapped his chest boldly: "No matter what you want to do, brother-in-law, count me as Lesta."

Kress also said: "On behalf of all the guards, I swear that I will follow the lord to the death."

Chip said nothing, but his position would never change.

Sol took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Very well, then I will leave it to everyone in the future."

In fact, if Sol forced the order, everyone would obey it, but the effect was definitely not as good as letting them decide voluntarily.

After all, now that they are in the heart of the enemy, there are many dangers, and they are walking on thin ice. They should never let the defenders hesitate.Otherwise, it may bring extremely serious consequences.

Das, Gein and Walsa witnessed the whole process from the sidelines, and when they looked at this group of low-ranking soldiers whose identities were very different from theirs, the three of them already had something different in their eyes.

At this time, they can somewhat understand why Lovell can maintain amazing stability and prosperity in the war-torn Dinar.

With such an amazing group of subordinates, what else can't be done?
Quietly, they gave thumbs up to Sol, who was looking at him, at the same time.But this time, the target of their praise was not Saul.

Saul is also very satisfied with this result. Now that the interior is stabilized, he can let go of his hands and feet to do the next thing.
