Lord Chronicle

Chapter 247 The Opponent Appears
Huh...

With a long stretch, Sol sat up from the bed.

The sun shines through the white curtains and gently spreads across the room, embellishing the linen sheets with a fine golden color, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fresh morning air.

Looking at himself in the mirror by the bedside, he couldn't help but think of waking up from the bed like this when he first came to this world.

But, everything is different now.

Shaking his head to shake off these sudden emotions, Sol jumped out of bed, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.

Immediately, Chaoyang scrambled into the room.Under the light of the rising sun, the city of Ferry, which seemed chaotic but full of strange vitality, stretched out in his field of vision.

Looking at the undulating roof like waves, Sol suddenly thought that Ferino must be somewhere among them.

These days, I have killed two batches of his spies in a row. Perhaps this guy is now open-mouthed in astonishment, at a loss for what to do.

Thinking of this, Sol was in a good mood, humming a ditty complacently, and went downstairs to eat.

At the same moment, Felino's home.

Felino opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and looked at the three people in front of him in bewilderment.

After a long time, he stammered and said, "Your Excellency, why is it you?"

In front of him, a person was sitting leisurely on the sofa, while two others stood behind him.Taking a closer look, it was the three people who entered the city in the morning.

The sitting man was in his forties, with a rough face and a thick beard covering his entire chin. His eyes were burning and he was full of calm and prestige.

This man was extremely strong, and he seemed to be sitting lazily, but the sofa creaked when he moved slightly, like a stone statue carved out of rough rock, implying explosive power.

The two people standing behind him were also extremely tall. Although they just stood with their hands behind their faces expressionlessly, for some reason, they gave people the illusion that if they disagreed with each other, they would draw their swords and cut people at any time.

The existence of these three people immediately filled the room with a disturbing atmosphere.

At this moment, the man called "Your Excellency" by Ferino glanced at him casually: "Why can't it be me?"

Felino seemed to be very afraid of him, and said quickly after hearing the words: "Don't worry, I have no other intentions. It's just that you shouldn't be staying in the barracks at this time..."

The man interrupted him and said: "I've been so boring recently, I just heard that something happened in the city, so I came here to have some fun. Tell me, what happened?"

Felino wiped off his sweat: "Since you are the one who came out personally, there is nothing to worry about. In fact, this is the case. Recently, some people suddenly came to the city..."

As he said, he briefly explained what happened during this period of time, as well as his guesses about Saul and others, and finally said: "That's it, because it's very difficult, so I thought of asking you for help, but I didn't expect to ask Lord Bullock to personally help you." Take a trip."

After hearing what he said, the man named Bullock stood up in disappointment: "It turned out that they were just civilian rebels, and regular troops are really becoming more and more useless."

Felino hurriedly said: "Those people are unexpectedly difficult, and the ordinary city defense team can't handle it at all."

Seemingly overwhelmed, Brock snorted, "Forget it, since we're here, let's just treat it as a warm-up exercise. So, where can we find those guys?"

Felino said: "I have asked the headquarters to call in two night shadows, and they will assist you in your actions."

Before the words fell, two unremarkable men walked into the room.They bowed to Felino and Bullock respectively, and then stood aside without saying a word.

Bullock was a little moved: "Are you making too much of a fuss, are those people really worthy of your attention?"

Felino nodded seriously: "In my opinion, it is absolutely necessary."

Frowning at him for a moment, Bullock exhaled: "Well, since you said that, I'm starting to be a little interested, I hope it's not some pompous guy."

"Rig, Fielding, let's go."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the three of them walked out.

At this time, Felino suddenly stopped him: "Your Excellency, although saying this may offend you, I still allow me to speak boldly."

Having said that, he gritted his teeth: "Please never underestimate those people."

Bullock was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, but his eyes were faintly flickering with bloodthirsty excitement like a beast about to pounce on its prey.

"Really? Let's wait and see."

***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** *****
Sol naturally didn't know that Felino had started to hunt and kill his own side, but the superficially calm city of Ferri covered both sides well.For the next few days, everything was fine.

But for Saul, these days have been very difficult.Not being able to go out, not getting any progress on the Sidvila Fortress, being stuck in the house all day is driving people crazy.

"Wow, I can't take it anymore."

This afternoon, after playing a few games of chess with Gein patiently, Saul, who was extremely depressed, finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.

In contrast, Gein seemed quite laid-back. As a soldier who had received strict training, he still had some patience.

He squeezed his eyes: "Why, don't you want to play chess anymore? When Walsa went out the day before yesterday, he brought back two wonderful books. Would you like to lend them to read?"

Sol glared at him angrily: "Do I seem to be dissatisfied with my desires? I have made no progress in doing anything these days, and I can only nest in this small place. Aren't you bored?"

Gein shrugged: "Is there any way, anyway, there is no rush."

"By the way, Darth and Volsa ran out early in the morning, why haven't they come back yet?" Sol asked.

Gein said: "They think the place here is not big enough to set up the teleportation array, and they have been looking for a suitable place for the past few days."

Sol couldn't help yawning: "It's not an option to stay like this. By the way, just go to Garrett and see if the Thieves Guild can provide some information."

Gein couldn't bear to spend so much time doing nothing, so he agreed after hearing the words: "That's right, if you walk around the city, you might find something."

Since Kress took part of the guards to protect Darth and Walsa, they ordered Lesta to look after the house and only took Chip out.

The place where I made an appointment with Garrett is located in the west of the city, a statue opposite an inconspicuous tavern.As long as you leave a code under the statue, you can contact him.

After drawing two interlocking circles under the base of the statue, Sol walked into the opposite tavern, where Gein had ordered two drinks and was waiting for him.

"How is it?" Saul asked after he sat down.

"Okay, let's wait for a while." Sol said and looked out the window, it was almost evening.

However, waiting left and right, but there was no movement for a long time.

"What's going on?" Saul muttered impatiently, and then snapped his fingers: "Boss, bring over another bottle of wine."

"Here we come." The bar counter promised, and soon, a person walked towards this side.

At this time, Chip, who had been standing behind Thor, suddenly showed a look of vigilance.

At the same time, a bottle of beer was placed on the table, followed by Garrett's voice: "Guests, it's getting dark, would you like to sit inside for a while?"

"It's you?" Sol realized that the person he was looking for had already arrived.

He looked up and down Garrett who was dressed as a bartender: "Have you changed your career?"

Garrett smiled: "There's not much to do in the city recently, so just have some fun. But your bodyguard found me early in the morning."

"For a bartender, your steps are too light." Chip said lightly.

Garrett slapped his forehead: "That's right, it's no wonder Master always says I haven't learned enough. It's really easy for me to reveal my secrets about these details."

He said to Chip: "Thank you for reminding me. To express my gratitude, I will take this bottle of ale."

Sol couldn't help teasing: "You are really generous, but I don't remember paying three times the salary to invite you here, it's to sell wine."

Gein also said: "We are here today, you should know why?"

Garrett sighed: "Of course, I just want to disappoint you two, and I'm afraid I have nothing to offer."

Saul was taken aback: "You don't really do nothing, do you?"

Garrett scratched his head: "No way, these few days..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the passers-by on the street, and said to the three of them: "It's not very convenient here, let's talk about it when we go in."

A few people came to a compartment in the tavern, and after closing the door, Garrett turned around: "It's a terrible place, right? This is the few remaining properties of our guild in Ferry City. You have to count on it to eat, but the business has been getting worse and worse recently, and now thieves have become a recognized sluggish industry..."

Seeing his heartbroken look, Sol really didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Uh...I'm very sorry about this, but I still have to do the work after taking my money..."

Garrett wiped his eyes: "Of course, I just sent it out on a whim. But I'm sorry, the city of Ferry has been surprisingly calm these days, and we haven't collected any valuable information."

Thor and Gein looked at each other strangely. His side killed two groups of spies from the City Defense Army in a row. It stands to reason that the other party should be alert and strengthen their patrols.But now Ferry City is unusually calm, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Garrett suddenly said: "Many spies were killed a while ago. If I'm not wrong, it should be you who did it?"

There is nothing to hide, Sol nodded: "That's right."

Garrett sighed, and sat across from the two of them: "Although I don't know what you want to do when you come to Ferry City, it is unwise to confront the city defense army like this."

Unable to tell him the connection with the resistance organization, Saul had no choice but to say: "I have my own measure. If this is the case, please continue to pay attention, and let us know any information at any time."

Garrett nodded: "I will play by ear."

As he said that, he said with some embarrassment: "Since it's rare to come here, why don't you go back after spending some money, I can give you a [-]% discount."

Sol looked around with some embarrassment: "I'm very happy, but here is really... Let's talk about it another day."

Garrett immediately gave him a resentful glance: "Master Saul, your words really hurt me..."
