    "This room is really terrible!" Claudia complained immediately after noticing the cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling that had not been cleaned up.  Then she patted the damp and musty-smelling bedding with some disgust.  On the side, Barrett took out a sleeping bag from his backpack and said: "Looks like this is because the good food and accommodation in the past period have made you all very timid. It seems that you have forgotten the current state.  It is the norm to go out on adventures in the Western Continent. "Although the people of 'Blood-stained Gray Flowers' have experienced a lot of hard battles in the past, their living conditions during this period were much higher than those of the vast majority of ordinary people who went out to make a living.  Adventurer.  Players who have had such an experience seem to take the treatment they have enjoyed before for granted.  But they seem to have forgotten that just because you are eligible for something does not mean you will be able to enjoy it.  Therefore, after suddenly returning to the simple environment of the past, it will still be difficult to adapt because of the big gap. This is in line with the old saying, "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."  ' "Fortunately, we didn't choose that small courtyard at the beginning. Judging from the manpower of the Moulin Rouge and the condition of this house, the situation in the small courtyard with a single family would probably be worse." After Li Erli finished speaking  He immediately blew on his fingers, because they were covered with dust from the table in the room.  "No way! The rent there is not low! How could it be worse?" Claudia asked with some disbelief.  Clematis, who had already lifted the bedding prepared by the store and put it aside, then straightened up and stretched: "The rented courtyards are not aimed at small teams like ours. They are usually large and medium-sized.  They only rent it when the caravan is stationed. They have enough manpower to clean it themselves, and for those people, renting the entire compound is much more cost-effective than living separately in a hotel.  It is an agricultural town, but it is also a good stopping point on the trade road. In the past, it was normal for large and medium-sized caravans to pass by." After packing up his sleeping bag, Barrett picked up the map again and nodded, "But now.  , I think the yard will be empty for a while. " "Barrett, I'll log off first. I'll bring you news about noodles when I come online tomorrow morning," said the dwarf who was already lying down.  "I'll leave it to you." After saying this, Barrett seemed to be in a good mood, and then made a joke: "But if you don't eat dinner and sleep until tomorrow, will it cause any negative effects?"  "When I went on adventures with Mario and the others, I wasn't as particular as you. At that time, being hungry was commonplace. As long as you weren't too hungry, the system wouldn't show any negative judgment." The dwarf said as he closed his eyes.  After hearing this, Claudia immediately shouted: "It's really unbearable to be hungry!" Although the second team of the 'Blood-stained Gray Flowers' led by Mario did not die because they could not afford to eat.  Hungry.  But because of operational planning and logistics management reasons.  It is common to occasionally be unable to eat on time. In fact, in the Western Continent, like the second team of the "Blood-stained Gray Flowers" led by Barrett, mercenary teams that eat on time most of the time are really rare.  "I'm going to go to the tavern downstairs to find out if there's anything unusual in Golden Mailang Town these days. Are you going to eat together or have the food be brought up?" Barrett, who walked to the door of the house, turned around and asked  arrive.  Rielle looked at her two silent friends, and then touched her earlobe: "I think that low environment will only affect our appetite. Let them bring the food up." "  So be safe! If you think about that person's current situation, you will know that the current "Jinmailang Town" does not want that person who they think is safe. Since they chose this room that can accommodate the whole team, they just want to meet him.  You can help in time when there is an accident." Barrett stuck out his head to confirm that there was no one in the corridor outside the door, and walked out after saying this.  Since Noodles has been trapped in the ¡®Jinmailang Town¡¯, it means that there must be followers of the five-color dragon here.  And he is also a warrior type.  So although today's 'Jinmailang Town' is still an ordinary town, it is by no means as peaceful as those people said.  Of course, judging from the observations after entering the town, the residents here seem to be unaware of the changes brought about by the cultists.  On the one hand, it's because in their consciousness, there are just a few more adventurers who feel that they are in danger.  It was an ordinary thing when the war had already begun.  On the other hand, it was also due to the fact that the believers of the five-color dragon were busy and had not yet started to spread fear wantonly.  The wanton residents and the lonely?The drunken peasants made the chaotic tavern in the small place even worse.  Barrett was chatting with the bartender in this turbid air.  I didn't get any useful information at all.  Although it is impossible to gain any secrets in a place like a tavern, if something unusual happens in the town.  They are often the first to know.  After all, most covert operations cannot be seamless, and they will leave some clues.  For the small town life that has remained unchanged in the past ten years, such traces of attention have become a new topic for peasant women to talk about after dinner.  Therefore, for many people, the news in the tavern often becomes a signal to confirm whether something has happened. As for whether they know how to delve into the truth, that is another matter.  Unable to achieve his goal, Barrett could only go upstairs feeling a little disappointed after finishing eating.  After returning to the house, Barrett gave Catboy a look, and the latter immediately got out of bed and pricked up his ears again.  After Lalu nodded to confirm that there were no eavesdroppers.  Barrett then spoke: "The situation is not very good! It seems that we have to wait for the anvil to come back before we can confirm what the situation is." "Oh! Barrett, did you find out something?" Rielle said.  Shi also put away the relaxed expression before.  After hearing this, Barrett shook his head: "It would be great if we really inquired about something. But the current situation is that we can't inquire about anything. That's why people act so strangely." "I inquire about everything.  Not yet?" Clematis also frowned a little at this time, but she didn't seem to grasp the key to the problem.  As for Claudia, who was still lying in bed and not understanding, it seemed that laziness had become a habit.  Barrett bit his lip and said with certainty: "The biggest problem is that there is no abnormality. You know that noodles can be run over by people all the way here. There is no way that he didn't fight with those pursuers during his escape.  "Traces like that are difficult to completely eliminate in a short time." "In that case, Barrett, you didn't inquire further," Clematis asked uncertainly.  "Before I am sure about the influence of those five-color dragon believers on the 'Golden Mailang Town', I don't dare to blindly inquire about anything. It would be troublesome if I alert the snake because of this." Barrett let out a sigh of relief when he said this.  "I just gave the bartender some money and asked him if anything new had happened in Jinmailang Town recently. Even if the bartender is already an enemy, such common inquiries will not attract the other party's attention. But  After not getting any information, we might go further." Rielle pinched her fingers and said, "Do you think the bartender has been bribed by the other party? If that's the case, we live here.  Aren't we under the other party's surveillance? " "When did you think that after we entered the 'Golden Mailang Town', we would no longer be under the surveillance of those guys? We want to trap a professional wanderer like Lalu.  In a small town, there must be a good Jianshi Network." At this point, Barrett subconsciously touched the handle of the 'Broken Peak', "As for the bartender, he has already lost it!  The channel for collecting information must be related to the Five Colored Dragon believers. In addition to bribery, there are many possibilities, such as coercion. " "Is it possible that those who are chasing noodles will leave traces of the battle.  Covered up well enough that the local residents didn't notice it," Clematis asked uncertainly.  Then Barrett turned into a wry smile and shook his head: "Of course it is possible, but I would rather believe that the bartender was bribed. Otherwise, the enemies we need to face next will not be so easy to deal with.  Yes. But in the war-torn Cruze Kingdom, there should be no need for Anxi Five-Colored Dragon believers to invest so much resources in this kind of thing, let alone a small place like 'Jinmailang Town' where the battle is completely hidden.  traces.  Simply relying on material means will not suffice.  The cooperation of spellcasters is necessary to truly restore the battlefield to its original state.  Even when necessary, hints should be given to nearby residents to make them forget or ignore the sounds they heard that they should not hear.  Such an investment is not ordinary. If it is to chase a rogue who is not at the red iron level, it is not worth it. After all, Noodles did not say before that he had obtained any important information for the 'Evil Dragon Queen'  .  Judging from the information received from the wanderer of the 'Dragon God of Good' who had escaped, they had just infiltrated and done nothing before they were discovered by the enemy and were hunted down.  So this possibility can basically be ruled out.  At the same time, if the Five Colored Dragon Church wants to control "Jinmailang Town", it seems that there is no need to send out such a battle formation.  To deal with the inhabitants of this colony, just show enough.  Leave another one for themThe words of the road.  These indigenous people tend to accept the reality of being oppressed and controlled, which is easy when the flames of civil war are burning.  As for carefully infiltrating and preparing to secretly control this town for a long time?  If it were normal times, it would still be possible.  But now is an era of war.  No one knows whether a small place like "Jinmailang Town" will be destroyed by rebels.  Even if they escaped the baptism of war, in the great reshuffle of the domestic political situation after the war, the leading figures in the small towns originally controlled by the Five-Colored Dragon Church may not escape the purge.  So instead of making small moves behind the scenes like that, it is better to set up a flag to deter those who lack strength. After all, the main targets of both the Cruze royal family and the local nobles at this time are each other.  Naturally, there is no time to take care of rural areas that have been temporarily taken over by other forces.  And after the war is basically over, if those organizations have the ability, they can still protect themselves and at the same time squeeze out the redemption fee from the victors before retreating.  It is precisely because I have considered all possible situations in my mind.  Therefore, Barrett can make a guess that is most suitable for the current situation.  Of course, if you want to analyze them one by one, he has to give people an image of being a good teacher.  "Okay! In other words, our previous contact with Noodles can only rely on the dwarf Anvil. And the information about the enemies can only be obtained from Noodles." This terrible situation obviously cannot be allowed to happen.  Clematis was satisfied.  Barrett nodded: "Now that the enemy is dark and we are clear, we will naturally be at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence. Although if we go to the town to search now, we may be able to find some clues. But that is more likely to trigger the conflict with the five-color dragon believers in advance.  The conflict is harmful and useless for rescue noodles. "That means everyone can only watch and sleep tonight!" Rielle said and lay down on her sleeping bag.  Barrett clapped his hands: "This place is no better than Boreham. Even in the hotel, we have to arrange for someone to keep a vigil. Claudia, Lalu and I don't need to cast sleep spells. The order of the next vigil is by  I'll arrange to raise money." "Just listen to you! But don't put me first, I'm going to sleep now." Claudia, who was lying on the bed and didn't want to get up, just stretched out her arms and waved.  .  Barrett put the Mo Dao on his shoulders and sat leaning against the door: "Then I'll stand on the first shift. Lalu, you can go to sleep too!" The quiet night passed like this, and Chu  The rising sun cast a few rays of light through the window.  Lalu, who was standing at the last post, stepped forward and patted Barrett. At this moment, Anvil suddenly appeared and opened his eyes.  After rubbing his belly, the dwarf immediately got up and stretched.  Immediately, a series of sounds of 'fried beans' came from inside the house.  And Barrett, who was awakened by Catboy, said the first thing he said after seeing the dwarf: "Is that Noodle boy okay?" (To be continued.) ps: Modify the wording.  Thanks to "hstony", "Yue Renyu Tian", "Prophet¡¤Chariot", "The Legend of Sword and Strange Shrimp", "Yinwen" and "Chen Tianxin" for their monthly votes.  At the same time, I would like to thank "Yue Renyu Tian" and "Shentan Feibiao" for their generous rewards.
