    "It looks like the road ahead is not going to be easy!" Barrett, who was walking into Upper Valley Town, held his horse and turned to look at the north and sighed.  "Our captain seems to be worried again." Clematis, who followed behind, nudged his friend with his elbow. "He has been worrying about this and that all day long, isn't he tired?"  "If this were not the case, how could we obtain today's upgrades and valuable equipment? Do we rely on the initial recharge? Think about those who have invested almost as much as us, the gap between the two sides, and the disparity between them.  Little one!" After reaching out and patting Clematis's elbow away, Rielle continued: "Besides, if it wasn't like this, he wouldn't be Barrett after we've known him for so long.  Don¡¯t you know who our captain is? ¡°I don¡¯t know, I definitely don¡¯t know him as well as you and Lalu do!¡± Clematis stretched out his hands with a strange smile on his face as he said this.  The sneak attack tickled Erlie's waist.  The mage whose 'vital points' were attacked immediately turned into a ripe prawn. In the past, she might not have been able to deal with such a surprise attack from her friend.  But after going through so many battles, she has now mastered the appropriate coping methods: "I can't stand on my feet, and Tis's shoes are made of iron. It will only hurt me."  Kicking her calf from this position may not be effective, and the blow is too violent and inappropriate.  Then there is only' Rielle, who was bent over, suddenly folded her arms, slightly restricting the movements of Clematis's hands, and immediately shouted: "Lulu! Tick her for me." Close the door and let go  Ellie's tricks became more and more slippery.  Judging from Clematis's performance, it seems that the mage has never done such a 'bad rule' behavior when the two were playing around in the past. It seems that since entering the game, Rielli has also kept pace with the times.  ?  Barrett, who heard the noise, turned around and looked at the three people playing in front of him. He cleared his throat: "Cough! Cough! Have you guys had enough trouble? Is it possible to do this in public like this?  Is this a monkey show for people to watch?¡± Thanks to Barrett¡¯s long-established authority.  He just said a word and the three people who were originally in a group immediately stopped what they were doing.  They wiped their tears, straightened their clothes, and finally stopped.  And the patrol members at the entrance to the town.  After discovering the behavior of the "Blood-Stained Gray Flowers" entering the town, the last bit of caution in my heart almost disappeared.  "The 'Love Fire' hotel is in this direction! Everyone, hurry up and follow." After 'suppressing' the 'riot' in the team.  Barrett, who was holding the war horse, immediately gave the order.  After hearing this, Noodles immediately raised his little hands and protested: "Why go to the 'Love Fire' Hotel? Isn't the food provided by the 'Fennel Bean' Hotel better?" "It's natural to choose a place with a good living environment for rest.  . As for food, it¡¯s not like we can¡¯t go out to eat!¡± After saying this, Barrett turned his head and glanced at the halfling wanderer: ¡°This ¡®Shangxi Valley Town¡¯ is not big anyway, so you won¡¯t be able to connect.  You're too lazy to walk those few steps!" "I'm having a brain cramp. I'm having a brain cramp." After being stunned for a moment, Noodles immediately pressed his hand on the side of his head and shook his head.  Following the route pointed out by the patrol, the signboard of the ¡®Love Fire¡¯ hotel soon appeared in the players¡¯ sight.  After booking two rooms at the bar with familiarity, Barrett turned back and said: "Go to the town hall to see what kind of rewards these iron plates can get. By the way, ask them if they will accept our loot."  "Don't worry! It doesn't matter even if the people at the town office don't accept them. This is a commercial town! I just saw the holy emblem of my church." Once he found the organization, Clematis's confidence was immediately sufficient.  got up.  Barrett, who walked out of the tavern, gave Anvil, who was watching the horses outside, a look.  Immediately, the whole team walked briskly towards the center of the town.  According to the patrol captain's previous description, the players found the bulletin board in the square.  When confirming the reward notice, Anvil was habitually prepared to take it off.  But before he dared to take action, he was stopped by Barrett: "Don't! What we just did can only be considered as partially completing the task, and it's still far from the removal of the reward! Although I don't think the gentlemen at the town office  They will argue with us because of this. But as long as there is no conflict with the rules we should abide by, we'd better maintain self-discipline." As the center of power in Shangxi Valley Town, this town hall can be said to be the most conspicuous in the town.  The building occupies the best position in the town square, and the ground outside the door is also paved with stone bricks for a distance. This building material is carved from bluestone, and the cost is much higher than that of fired mud bricks.  Of course, the low two-story building in front of you is also made of large stone bricks. Obviously, when foreign enemies invade, this place will be?Upper Valley Town?s last bulwark.  But it is the same as all town halls in the Western Continent.  This building is not used every day.  After all, generally speaking, towns like this don¡¯t have so many things to deal with.  Therefore, the town hall is often used during festivals, trading days, or other special events.  Some small towns don't even have a town hall, so you can just make do with the mayor's house when needed.  Of course it¡¯s like the current state of war.  There is always someone on duty in the building in front of you.  He walked to the town hall and pulled the bell rope, and then the crisp sound of the copper bell came to mind in Barrett's hand.  Nearly 15 minutes passed like this before Shi Shiran opened the door of the town hall.  A man with messy hair walked out, yawning and rubbing his eyes with his hands: "What are you doing? If it's nothing serious, don't blame me for swearing!" Seeing the other person's image, Barrett immediately understood what was happening in front of him.  They should be temporary workers hired by the leading figures in Shangxi Valley Town to guard the town office while they were busy with their own businesses.  So naturally he was not polite at all: "Didn't the bulletin board in the square have the task of wiping out the royal raiding team? We just met with them not long ago, and now we just came here to dispose of the loot." "What kind of loot should we dispose of?  Ah! This is not a grocery store" Before the rough man with a loud voice could finish his words, he was stuck: "Tell me again what your purpose is?  "That's right! It's a mission to destroy the royal family's looting team. However, we were not able to completely deal with those guys. We just dispersed them." Barrett didn't hide anything.  Tell it like it is.  "I think within the next few days, the raiding team that encountered us will not be able to harass us anymore. We are asking now. Will your 'Shangxi Valley Town' accept the military badges of such a raiding team?  "Wait! Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?" The man in front of him widened his eyes, obviously not believing what Barrett said before.  Barrett has known this result for a long time.  Naturally, he will not be angry at the attitude of the person in front of him: "Do I need to deceive you about this kind of thing? When I sell the goods, everything will be clear." "Wait! Please wait! I will go to the town immediately  Say hello to the gentlemen here. Please wait here for a moment." After saying this, the man immediately turned around and closed the door, then walked away and disappeared from the eyes of the players.  Watching the dust stirred up by the other party's retreat, Barrett touched his chin: "He ran quite fast. No wonder the gentlemen in the town chose him to visit the door. In this case, it's quite good.  "What a rude guy. Shouldn't we be invited in first to sit down at this time?" Claudia couldn't help but glance in the direction where the dust was rising.  Clematis patted his friend's shoulder and comforted him: "In a country like this, don't be so picky!" I have to say that the small town has its advantages, at least the gatekeeper.  It didn't take too long to gather all the leading figures in the "Shangxi Valley Town" such as the mayor, the sheriff, and the country guys.  Of course, these people wouldn't be as rude as someone just now.  Regardless of whether it is true or not, they first invite the players to sit in the town hall.  Then the little old man with a white beard asked: "I heard that you completed the mission of annihilating the royal robbery team?" "No! This is not accurate. I don't know what the person who just reported the news said.  Yes, but I just dealt with the leader of a robbery team and dispersed them." Barrett paused at this, "If they were ordinary bandits, they might have been torn apart by this.  But as a royal army, after returning to the city for rest and replenishment, I'm afraid it won't be long before we can go out again, so we didn't take off the bounty, we just came to sell the loot from them."  "Selling trophies?" There was an imperceptible light in the eyes of the old man in front of him, and then he immediately turned his head and bit the ear of a brown-haired man with a mustache beside him.  Immediately afterwards, those missions that had a good reputation in the "Shangxi Valley Town" started to bite their ears in front of the players.  Relying on his keen hearing, Barrett was able to musically perceive the content of their conversation.  However, the other party's communication is more in code words.  Barrett, who was not familiar with this, just smiled and remained silent.  After waiting for a while, the brown-haired man on the side asked: "Selling trophies? What are you planning to sell?" "Of course the military badges of those unlucky guys. And the weapons and equipment they use." Barrett took it for granted.  Said, "Aren't these two things you say you need? Although I don't know the rewards of those nobles?What, but judging from their performance from the beginning of the war to now, they should not be stingy.  " As soon as Barrett's reason came to an end, the gentlemen in front of him looked embarrassed. Apparently they had just planned to trick the mercenaries in front of them while they were not familiar with the situation. But since the other party knew the market, these few  They can only give up for the time being. As for using violence to snatch the loot from the players, these few people do not know the strength of Barrett and others.  They definitely understand. According to their estimation, with the current armed forces of Shangxi Valley Town, even if they can repel the looters, they will suffer a lot of losses. Since these people can defeat them.  If they are beaten away, their strength cannot be underestimated. If the fight fails in Shangxi Valley Town, they will be the ones who suffer. Although these township cadres in small places have never seen the world.  They have also become quite shrewd in this kind of pastoral struggle, but the pattern is not high, so they naturally know what kind of choice is beneficial to them. "Oh!  Although the adults would reward the settlement, they couldn't get much money out of the current situation.  The man with the mustache looked embarrassed when he said this, "I hope you won't open your mouth like a lion."  " Even though he knew that the person in front of him was pretending, Barrett couldn't expose it directly: "Tell me what price you give for these military cards!  As for the trophies, except for the captain's set of magic equipment, we can sell them to you at a 50-30% discount on the current market price.  Remember it is the current market price, not the past price.  " During the war, the prices of many items will rise, which naturally includes weapons and equipment. Of course, the prices given by Barrett are still very reasonable, because these items are not only equipment, but also for the people of 'Upper Valley Town'  For these people, it is also a favorable certificate for their efforts to fight against the royal family. ¡°Isn¡¯t a 30% discount too high?  Can't it be cheaper?  Our ¡®Shangxi Valley Town¡¯ is actually not as wealthy as you think.  The old man with a white beard who said this suddenly changed his voice, "But you must sell us that set of magic equipment."  We are willing to accept a premium of up to 20% on the current price.  " "What a good calculation! Killing a raiding captain with magic equipment is much more rewarding than killing an ordinary raider. Especially when it is impossible to prove that the other party has been completely wiped out.  That's it. Not to mention that even ordinary small towns may not be able to buy it with money! "Barrett immediately understood the other party's plan when he heard that.  Touching his chin: "It's already very cheap at 30% off. Those weapons and armors are basically no wear and tear.  As long as there is any loss, we will provide additional discounts.  As for magic equipment, it depends on your sincerity!  "(To be continued.) ps: Revised text. Thanks to "Butter Mouse" and "Chen Tianxin" for their monthly votes. Also thanks to "Yueren Yutian" and "Shentan Feibiao" for their generous rewards.
