    "Wait a minute, let me confirm the mission of its owner. I also need to confirm your identity." The clerk who said this put the badge into a carved metal box, and then pointed it with his finger.  Click on the counter window.  Barrett, who understood the process, immediately handed over his team¡¯s mercenary certificate.  After the other party took the parchment, he immediately took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and began to carefully identify the authenticity of the document. It seems that most dragonborn are good at identification.  I wonder if they were influenced by their distant dragon relatives to make advance preparations for collecting wealth in the future.  "There is no problem with this certificate!" The clerk who put down the magnifying glass and raised his head again straightened his silver hair, then touched the carved metal box with his hand, and then nodded: "There is no problem here either.  , a wanderer of the 'Blood-stained Gray Flowers' mercenary group" Barrett, who was standing outside the counter and waiting quietly for the result, did not make a sound at this time, as if the statement of the receptionist on the other end had nothing to do with his network.  However, the receptionist who completed the preliminary confirmation soon said with an embarrassed look: "Although the preliminary inspection is correct, the task performed by the owner of the token has a certain level of confidentiality. So I have no right to grant it directly now."  "Your cautious attitude is understandable. But can you give me a specific review timetable?" "Because I have lost contact with you for a long time."  Anticipating such a result, Barrett continued to state his words without changing his expression.  The clerk who heard this immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was just worried that the big man in front of him would get into trouble after hearing the news.  Although the relationship between many adventurers and mercenaries is not very close, it definitely does not include the type who comes to the door with tokens and actively applies for rescue missions. Generally speaking, the team is so concerned about the comfort of its companions, the internal friendship and cohesion.  None of it is trivial.  If the person who comes to the door is a spellcaster wearing soft robes and carrying a book, it is usually relatively easy to appease the aboriginal mages after hearing these remarks. After all, the aboriginal mages are relatively rational.  Priests with holy emblems can also watch dishes. The personalities of clergy are often closer to the teachings of the god.  Starting the war based on this will often yield good results.  Of course, the most difficult ones to deal with are often the strong warriors and the charismatic sorcerers.  The muscular men in front of them tend to have bad tempers, and they are also mostly stubborn.  As for those who spontaneously cast spells, they are a group of highly emotional and perceptual creatures, and it is equally difficult to resist them when they lose their temper.  In fact, when the receptionist just said the words of rejection.  One hand was already on the rope under the counter.  Once Barrett gets emotional, he immediately pulls the rope and rings the bell hanging at the other end.  At that time, someone will naturally come to subdue the big man in front of him, thanks to the good strength of the Beverstock family.  The people responsible for this work are the dragonborn monks who belong to them.  With their excellent fighting and grappling skills, these people often do not cause any serious harm to the troublemakers when subduing them.  But no matter how complete the preparations are in advance, once a fight breaks out, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the order in the hall.  If the troublemaker is too strong, many people may be injured.  So being able to accept the result peacefully like Barrett is the best outcome for both parties.  No wonder the receptionist was secretly happy.  Looking at Barrett who had accepted the reality, the receptionist in front of him finally regained his smile: "I'm not sure when the further review will be answered. Regardless of past practice, it is usually 1-  In two days, please come back and see these gentlemen. You should be able to get an accurate answer." "Will you come back the day after tomorrow? In this case, the departure time will be postponed." Barrett thought for a while.  He smiled bitterly, then pointed at the carved metal box: "Then please return the token and the mercenary certificate that your companion left for me. I will come back on time the day after tomorrow." "Here! Welcome to come again next time." Handed over skillfully  The receptionist who brought out two items felt like a receptionist at a fancy restaurant.  All the previous entanglements and wariness seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant.  After walking out of the Beverstock family's stronghold, Barrett looked up at the sun in the sky: "Is it lunch time already? It seems that I still got up a little too late. If I go to the trading house now, I'm afraid it won't be possible.  It¡¯s not a suitable time! So let¡¯s go shopping first.¡± After walking around Poitou for two or three times, Barrett wiped the corners of his mouth with a clean linen cloth as a food lover.  Or, how could he not take this opportunity to reward his five internal organs temple.  What?  You said just nowHe had just eaten breakfast not long ago, but what does it matter? The big man has a big appetite. The little breakfast in the hotel only occupied an insignificant position in Barrett's stomach.  ¡°The business should be open for business now!¡± Barrett ate while walking.  The specific time can be judged from the changes in the shadows under the eaves.  Then he walked to the office of Boreham Trading Company in the city. Although Barrett was highly regarded within the family, he could definitely allow him to provide services during the period of closure.  But that would seem to be too bullying.  Anyway, there is a problem with the Beverstock family, and this problem is not urgent.  Naturally, Barrett would not disturb the other party's normal rest and ask for special arrangements.  Waiting for Barrett to walk to the door of the Chamber of Commerce office.  A young waiter was taking down the 'Temporarily Closed' sign from the door.  It seems that if it had been earlier, Barrett might have to stand outside the door for a while.  The boy who was opening the door saw Barrett coming and asked carefully: "Sir, are you here to do something?" "Now that you know, why are you standing here? Let's talk about it after we go in. The young man knew that he was here as soon as he saw it.  Come on!" While speaking, Barrett took out the exclusive token of the Bolum family from his chest that proved his identity.  The young man said nervously: "Please! Please come in. Sir, how do you know I'm here?" "Because I don't know you, and neither do you!" Barrett said this again  He shook the ID card in his hand.  In his opinion, if the young man in front of him still couldn't figure it out, there was no need for him to waste his words on this topic.  Sooner or later, a stone head like that will be found out and kicked out of the business.  Barrett, who entered the trading house, did not go upstairs to find the supervisor here. Instead, he directly handled the business at the counter: "May I ask if the Chamber of Commerce has any caravans heading to the Kingdom of Cruz recently? If so, please give us a commission.  A suitable escort mission for the corps. ""Mercenary, mercenary escort mission?" The guy who confirmed Barrett's identity through his identity certificate and mercenary regiment certificate.  He immediately said with a bitter look on his face: "Sir, it's not that I won't give you a mission! In fact, there are really no missions to the Cruze Kingdom in the past few days." Apparently after confirming, this guy understood that Barrett  His position within the organization is much higher than his own.  What if you get angry because you don't get the mission?  It was a job that I had fought so hard for.  It might be completely ruined. Bolum Trading Company was equivalent to a state-owned enterprise in the territory at a certain period.  It can be said that it is a good job that young people are eager to get into.  The young man in front of me has been an apprentice for several years.  The performance of being able to endure hardships is also related to the class room.  It was with great difficulty that he defeated his competitors and became a full-time employee.  This kind of experience naturally makes him cherish this hard-won job.  For a big shot like Barrett who can decide his own destiny, it is inevitable that he will think too much.  "There have been no caravans going to the Kingdom of Cruze in the past few days?" Barrett, who frowned, continued to ask, "Then when will the nearest caravan be in the future?" "This requires me to check the schedule carefully and go to Cruze.  The kingdom's caravan plan, caravan plan" The young man who was chatting and flipping through the book began to sweat on his forehead: "I'm very sorry, it seems that the Chamber of Commerce has not gone to the Cruze Kingdom in the past month.  "The caravan arrangement." Hearing this, Barrett always felt as if he had caught something, and then immediately asked: "So when was the last caravan?" "The last time, the last caravan?"  It was 27 days ago. After that, it never happened again.¡± The guy stammered as he answered now.  As if tongue-tied.  "That is, there was no caravan traffic for almost a month before. And if there is no plan for the next month, this does not mean that the trade between the two parties has stopped for two months." Barrett touched his chin, and there was a tattoo on his forehead.  The wrinkles become deeper and deeper.  Obviously, there must be some special reason behind this situation.  You must know that industry and commerce are the most important source of funds for Bolum, so Bolum Commercial Bank always tries every means to promote its products to the outside world.  Of course, customers from the Cruze Kingdom are also indispensable. After all, Bolum's various specialties are quite popular there.  Almost every 15-20 days, a caravan regularly sets foot on the trade route to the Kingdom of Cruze.  So a two-month hiatus like this is definitely not normal.  Just when Barrett was frowning, a middle-aged man happened to walk in outside the door of the store.  After he stopped and looked at Barrett, he immediately spoke: "Isn't this Barrett? I heard before that you went to the north for adventure. When did you come back?"  "Mr. Josephine! You're here at the right time. There's something that really bothers me now! It's so kind of you to explain it to me." When Barrett turned around, he immediately saw the man with whom he had collaborated before.  Caravan leader.  The deep wrinkles on his forehead have finally faded a lot at this time.  For Barrett, a rising star who is rising in the family, Mr. Josephine still has to work hard to get along with Mr. Josephine, a grassroots leader who is struggling to make progress.  He put his arm around Barrett's shoulders in a familiar manner: "Let's go to the back and chat, not at the front desk. In case the customers are here, there will be a lot of people talking." "Okay! It's up to you." Since the other party behaved like this  With such enthusiasm, Barrett naturally couldn't keep a cold face.  And this grassroots cadre definitely knows far more than the young guy just now.  Barrett naturally planned to get some useful information from his mouth.  In the small house behind the business, Mr. Josephine poured tea for both of them very calmly: "Ask if you have anything! I will never hide what I know. Anyway, your authority in the family is more restrictive than mine.  Much more. There is no need to keep the information I know secret from you. "Isn't it much higher? My family's contribution shouldn't be that high!" Barrett scratched his head.  In my head, I realized that I seemed to have overlooked something before.  Mr. Josephine pointed at the 'Broken Peak' behind Barrett: "Not everyone can master the ancient weapon. The children of the family who are given it are all trained as core members of the next generation.  "Although the Bolum family has a large number of ancient weapons, they are not common in the street.  And their owners just need to develop.  The lifespan is usually not too short, so it is usually intended to be used by several generations.  So even if it is an internal member of the family.  Not everyone needs ancient weapons, but if there are no restrictions.  It¡¯s definitely a drop in the bucket!  Therefore, only the children of the family whose true potential and loyalty have been tested can obtain such weapons.  Today it is not only an excellent weapon, but also a proof of the user's status within the family.  "If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten this." Barrett touched his nose in embarrassment, "The Earl hopes that I will practice more and improve my strength as soon as possible. In the end, I seem to have overexerted myself, and I haven't been able to do it for a long time.  Back to the territory. I haven¡¯t noticed any changes in that area" "You really don¡¯t know what to say." Mr. Josephine shook his head and picked up the water glass: "What is the problem? Come on."  After hearing this, Barrett roughly stated the questions in his mind.  After listening, Mr. Josephine emptied the tea in the cup, and then said: "You also know that the Cruze Kingdom is currently at war. Originally, the war was an excellent business opportunity, but the kingdom has not yet supported Cruze.  In order to avoid suspicion, Lord Count stopped the trade of munitions." (To be continued.) PS: Modify the wording.  Thanks to "Hamster Collection" for your generous monthly ticket.  At the same time, I would like to thank "Shentan Feibiao" and "Yueren Yutian" for their generous rewards.
