    This part of the Tesway Mountains located in Norhan is not very tall. As its terminus on the western continent, the average altitude of its branches is less than 700 meters.  Once upon a time, this low hill served as an important line of defense in the eastern frontier of Nohan and was a natural barrier to protect the eastern part of the principality.  Although this is not an insurmountable natural danger, it is a mountainous area that can be climbed by one person in more than ten days.  It would be a nightmare for armies preparing to attack other countries.  Coupled with appropriate defenders and a decent intelligence and patrol system, it can become an iron wall that no organization is willing to collide with.  But now it has become the main culprit that blocks the domestic trade of Nohan and provides the royal family with far and constant financial resources. Although compared with its main body, the continuous mountains shrouded in snow and mist all year round, the part of Nohan is like it.  Like a squirrel at an adult's feet.  Even so, it still divided the largest Uriel grassland in Norhan into two parts. After establishing its capital in the only large valley, the royal family obtained an excellent commercial node that was difficult to avoid.  The players¡¯ destination this time is at the northernmost point on the west side of the Tesway Mountains. The kingdom¡¯s border area, which is about to penetrate deep into the wilderness, is different from the traditional territory of Norhan protected by the ¡®Brandenburg Fortress¡¯ to the east of the mountains.  That's where it really looks like the frontier of the Western Continent, a real no-nonsense zone.  After getting the information they wanted from the Church of the Good Dragon God, the players had to embark on a long journey.  But for the two eldest ladies who are so idle in Poitou that their bones are uncomfortable, this has to be said to be good news.  They seem to have never known what a peaceful life is, and they can't wait to enjoy new adventures.  Because the journey is long and players have limited time.  So this time, the 'Blood-stained Gray Flowers' mercenary group chose to go alone instead of joining the other similar caravan groups.  Fortunately, players have more experience with such long-distance fulfillment than in the past.  After all the bumps and bumps along the way, the group finally approached Ulrik, the new capital of Norhan, the only place they must pass through the Tesway Mountains.  Looking at the city wall that appeared in sight, Barrett pulled the reins and stopped.  Then he turned around and gave special instructions: "After entering the city, everyone should act together as much as possible, and remember not to cause trouble. You must know that although our last operation was a semi-official mission, there were definitely a lot of cabinets offended.  . Even if they can't cause trouble for us publicly, there are many ways to stumbling upon us behind the scenes. " "We have known that this day would come." Claudia stretched herself.  waist, and then touched his obstacle 'small buckler': "But judging from the harvest, it is all worth it." "Compared to the trouble caused, the harvest that time was amazing.  People are satisfied." Clematis also nodded at this time, "And we also know that we will have to come here sooner or later, and we are already mentally prepared for this issue." "Barre.  Don't worry! Lulu and I won't cause trouble." Li Erli then gave Barrett a 'reassurance' that was not very trustworthy.  Anvil and Noodles nodded directly to express their understanding. After getting the answer they wanted, Barrett immediately revealed the next itinerary: "Then after we settle in, we will go to the mercenary union in the city to find a  Guide! We are familiar with the journey to the east of the Taiswei Mountains, but it is different to the west. What¡¯s more, our destination this time is definitely not a location that can be found with a map. ¡±  For their own safety, the players did not look for a hotel as usual after entering Ulrich.  Instead, through Barrett's relationship, we moved directly into the 'Bolum Trading Company' just like last time. Since the family paid a special reception fee in Ulrik's business building, as long as it was not deliberately wasted, there was no need to do so.  No use.  After finishing the settlement, Barrett led Clematis to the mercenary union, which he had been away from for more than half a year.  However, these six months may occupy a certain position in a person's life.  But for an organization, it is just a fleeting moment.  The noisy hall was as noisy as the last time I came here, and the familiar Mr. Doug was flipping through the books behind the counter as always.  Balent, who led Clematis into here, immediately attracted the attention of many people because of his sophisticated equipment and the holy symbol on Clematis's chest.  Seemingly noticing a change in the sound in the hall, Mr. Doug temporarily put down his book and raised his head.  Immediately after adjusting his eyes on the bridge of his nose, he immediately said with a smile: "What a rare visitor! Mr. Bolum, it seems that you haven't been to our place for almost a year!" "Mr. Doug, you are joking.  It¡¯s not as long as a year. I think it¡¯s only a little over 9 months!¡± While saying this, Barrett also deliberately said:?? Counted on his fingers.  Mr. Doug reached out and closed the book on the counter and complained: "Isn't this not much different? It has been a long time since your last arrival. After all, you know that we here want to find you."  It is not an easy task to replace someone with such strength." As soon as Mr. Doug finished speaking, the mercenaries and adventurers in the hall who were waiting for the mission all looked at Barrett.  look.  Immediately after some old people here contacted Mr. Doug's words, they probably confirmed Barrett's identity.  Then they gave up their meaningless actions, and at the same time reached out and pulled their companions who had a good relationship with them to prevent some idiots who didn't know the bounds of the world from doing stupid things.  "Mr. Doug, you don't have to be like this! Although it's unfortunate that we didn't come here at this time, that's because we're not near Ulric at all!" Barrett understood that the little old man in front of him had just done this on purpose.  So say.  However, he was not prepared to argue with the other party on this matter.  Instead, he walked to the counter while he was talking.  Mr. Doug also understood that Barrett had no intention of causing trouble.  He took out a thick book from the side and started to flip through it: "Since it's rare to come here once, let's solve some problems for us before leaving! Ulrike has too many rich and powerful patrons, and we don't have any at all.  "No way! Mr. Doug, we are not here to take on a mission this time." Barrett paused for a moment, then continued after Mr. Doug showed a surprised expression.  Are you here to issue a mission? "A problem that you can't solve with your own strength? Do you think it's useful to come here to issue a mission?" Mr. Doug had an expression of disbelief when he heard this.  But Barrett stretched out his index finger and shook it: "There are specialties in the art! We are looking for a guide this time. The destination is the northern mountainous area to the west of the Tesway Mountains. There seems to be a village in Tululu.  There was some trouble. We were asked to go there, so we decided to find someone who knew the way. "Are you really sure there is such a place in the northern mountainous area of ??the Taiswei Mountains?"  Mr. Ge looked confused, "I am so old, but I have never heard of the name of this village." "The basic information given by the temple mission should be correct." He said this at the same time.  , Barrett also frowned: "There is no news, probably because the kingdom has not incorporated it into its normal rule!" "Even if that village really exists. I think it would be difficult for you to issue tasks here.  Find a suitable guide." Mr. Doug kindly reminded, "I think in your capacity, it might be better to find other ways, so as not to delay the church's mission after we find nothing."  Let's hang up the mission first!" Barrett said, reaching out and taking off his purse from his waist, "Evaluate this mission first." "What you want is just a guide, you don't need him to directly participate in the battle.  Let¡¯s go!¡± Mr. Doug began to skillfully carry out the preliminary inquiry work for the entrustment.  Barrett nodded: "It is true that he does not need to directly participate in the battle. However, it is best to have the ability to protect yourself. Otherwise, if we cannot take care of him during the battle, it will be troublesome to change the guide temporarily." "  Are you sure that you will not care about the guide because of the battle?" Mr. Doug's mouth was twitching violently: "If it is really that intense, I am afraid that none of our registered candidates can protect themselves!  "Uh!" Barrett touched his chin and fell into silence after hearing this.  After a while, he said: "Then limit the guides with strong hiding ability! If you encounter such a situation, just let him find a way to hide." "Even if this is the case, consider your strength. Mission  The evaluation should also be raised by two levels." After thinking about it, Mr. Doug gave a more pertinent answer.  Barrett had no objections to this: "Just raise two levels! Money is not a problem in this regard. The most important thing is to be familiar with the route to Tululu Village." "Then please pay a deposit of 100 gold coins first.  . We will go back to the task immediately." Mr. Doug paused at this, "But you'd better not have too much hope. It's too difficult for us to meet those two requirements.  It's like that here." Barrett sighed softly after leaving the mercenary union: "I didn't expect that the biggest trouble would be here! Let Noodles go to the stronghold of the 'Dragon God of Good' church in Ulric later.  Look! Since the church dares to issue such a mission, there should be some ways to do it. "It's really not like you to be so negative!"?Mattis reached out and patted Barrett on the shoulder, "Don't be so pessimistic! There are not many channels we can go through. We will always find a suitable way." In the next few days, players began to use their own  Find the right guide through relationships and channels.  Unfortunately, for the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce', Turulu, which most people don't know about, has no commercial value at all.  So Clematis's efforts failed.  The Bolum family also did not pay much attention to the remote areas of the empire.  Fortunately, on the fourth day, the halfling rogue brought back good news: "Everyone, I saw our teammates in the next mission. The team that has always believed in my Lord." "Dragonborn?"  Erli turned around and asked.  "Although the characteristics are not very obvious, they should all be Dragonborn." Noodles nodded, "They are our partners this time! As for the guides, don't be careful, the one sent by Turulu Village to ask for help  The villagers are also on their way here. " "So can our mission in the mercenary union be cancelled?" Clematis, who was in charge of the money bag, immediately turned to ask Barrett.  After a slight hesitation, Barrett shook his head: "If you really want to cancel, let's wait until the day before departure! In any case, having an extra guide can also provide an extra layer of insurance, right?" "Okay! Anyway, it's okay.  Not that much investment is needed." Clematis said as he raised his mace, "Then should we meet with the collaborators now? The communication before taking action will be helpful.  Come down and cooperate." Barrett nodded and said specifically: "Noodles, please lead the way! It was so long ago that we went there." Under the leadership of the halfling, the players.  For the second time, they entered the stronghold of the Church of the Good Dragon God in Ulric.  The last time I came here, Noodles had to come to perform a mandatory mission because of a long-delayed church obligation!  Perhaps because of the previous performance in the Kingdom of Cruze, the local church¡¯s attitude towards the players this time is much better than before.  At the same time, under the questioning of the halfling wanderer, the players quickly found the six men and women sitting around the big round table in front of their comrades.  One of them was wearing a set of metal plate armor and was obviously a common heavy armor professional.  Although the other one is not wearing armor, there are very obvious thick scales in the cuffs that flicker. This is obviously the special ability of the Dragonborn bloodline. The dragon scales directly on the body are definitely comparable to ordinary armor.  Among the remaining four people, one was wearing a lighter leather armor, while the rest were dressed in common clothes.  One of them was wearing a set of metal plate armor and was obviously a common heavy armor professional.  Although the other one is not wearing armor, there are very obvious thick scales in the cuffs that flicker.
