655 Trust
If you want to spy on secret information, you have to go to the Assassin Union to spend a lot of money.
If you want to get some useful gossip, then the mercenary union is a good choice. This place is full of people and any strange things may appear, but there are more false news. Moreover, the main business of the mercenary union is not in terms of intelligence, so the mercenary union news can only be believed at most.
Nadette knew that the matter of provoking professionals was not a secret, and it was not a strange thing that the other party found out from the Mercenary Union.
"Please come in and welcome you to be one of us." Nadette put a little bit of alert, and asked as he walked: "Since you have inquired about our affairs, you should also know who we are doing for."
"I know." Beta nodded.
From Old Buffon, Beta already knew that the Lord of Echo City was a supporter of the Pope. This was also his purpose to come here. The internal strife in the Temple of Light is a good thing for any other small sect. The Pope's sect is weak, and it is not a good thing for the Temple of Wojin. It is best that the Pope's sect and the Saints will compete evenly and continue to fight.
Beta came here for this purpose, to see if he could slightly balance the balance of strength between the Pope and the Saint. If he is lucky, or he can find out the core secrets of the God of Light.
For example... why does the Saints want to rebel?
Nadette brought Beta into the hall, where he saw a group of professionals sitting around a long dining table.
Everyone's eyes focused on the city lord and Beta. Beta counted, and except for the guards around, the professionals sitting at the dining table were twenty-one, seventeen men, and four women.
Sixteen of them are young people and five are middle-aged people.
There are four women, two of them look like girls, one is a young woman, and the other is a middle-aged woman. Except for the middle-aged woman who looks quite charming, the other three women look just average.
Why should we pay attention to women first? This is not a male instinct. Beta's dragon blood is getting stronger and stronger now, and his attention to women is much higher than before.
Beta also found that everyone was an elite professional. Among them, there was a middle-aged man with a flat head, and his level even reached lv9.
Nadette took Beta to the dining table and said, "This is our new companion, Cook Green. Everyone should be able to feel the magic elements on him, and his strength is absolutely not weak. Now, Cook will introduce his abilities and expertise to you."
When the professionals looked at his expression, most of them were curious and had a hint of expectation. However, there was a young man with a good appearance, and his eyes seemed to be faintly hostile.
Beta passed the young man without a trace and said, "Cook Green, 25 years old, from Lago County, Dragon Vein Warlock."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was amazed, and some even whistled.
Unlike in the game, the warlocks in this world are strong all the way. Players and mages can learn at least hundreds of magic types, and more can learn two or three hundred. It is relatively easy to target warlocks with relatively small spells. Even if the magician's spells are stronger, it will be uncomfortable to be restrained by the magician.
But in the real world, most magicians learn not much magic. After all, spell modeling is too expensive, and secondly, it is too difficult to learn. Most mage players have received at least sixteen years of systematic education and learn anything very quickly, but the magicians in this world do not have such good educational resources. Their speed of learning magic is far slower than that of players. This has caused many magicians to understand less magic than many warlocks.
There are fewer spells than others, and warlocks are born with bloodline to strengthen the power of magic... This is not a level at all. In the eyes of the world, magicians have less combat ability than warlocks. But in the game world, it is exactly the opposite.
Moreover, the Dragon Vein Warlock is the most talented among all warlocks.
Nadette thought Beta was just an ordinary magician, but he didn't expect that he was a rare dragon vein warlock. He immediately felt that he had picked up a treasure.
Only a young man showed a look of worry.
Nadette shrugged: "Well, we really have a powerful companion this time. Now you guys introduce yourself."
Even if it was a very brief self-introduction, it took nearly half an hour to introduce themselves. Five of them aroused Beta's interest.
The middle-aged woman is named Haidi, and she is a famous archer.
The middle-aged uncle at level 1V9 is named Arnold, and he is a berserker.
A young man with a small separation looked frivolous, named Fast, and was a thief.
A middle-aged uncle with a gloomy face, named Perth, is a magician of Shadow Magic. He was originally not hostile to Beta, but after Beta said that he was a dragon vein warlock, he had a little jealousy in his eyes. He and Beta were the only two casters of the twenty-two.
There is also the young man who was faintly hostile to Beta from the beginning, named Urban, a shield warrior.
These five are the strongest five in the team except Beta.
Beta recorded everyone's names and greeted them one by one. He took the initiative to show good deeds, so naturally everyone had some good feelings. Even Urban, who was hostile to Beta at the beginning, his expression calmed down a little.
"This time we gather everyone together, mainly because there is a task that everyone needs to complete." Nadette glanced at Beta and smiled: "We have a new companion, so everyone can get some fun together. Lord Cook, you can join the third team."
Add Beta, there are 22 people here, divided into four groups. The first and fourth groups are all five, and the second and third groups are all six, because Beta and Perth are added respectively.
In ordinary people's concepts, although magicians are powerful, they often need protection from others to exert 100% strength.
Therefore, in these two teams, there are shield warriors.
In the third team where Beta is located, there is a person who Beta is a little interested, Heidi. Her level is lv8, second only to Berserker Arnold.
The city lord walked to the main seat and spread out the map that had already been placed in front of him: "According to the news we received, Archbishop Payne is about to leave our return city and prepare to go to the Holy Land to meet with the Saint Maid. The task we have to do is to kill him in the suburbs. Payne is very strong, and has a connection with the Bushi in the Holy Land, which has a certain appeal to the middle and lower priests. If he dies, the blow to the Saint Maid Sect will definitely not be small. For us, it is a great thing."
No one spoke, listened quietly.
The city lord Nadette quietly looked at Beta with his eyes. Although the movement was very concealed, Beta still discovered it, but he pretended not to know anything.
"I will inform you when Payne leaves the city. Now please go back to your room to rest and don't leave the city lord's mansion."
Beta was waiting for the city lord to assign a room to her, when Heidi walked over. Her voice was deeper than that of an ordinary woman, but it was actually quite nice: "His Excellency Cook, you are now in our third team, please come with us."
Beta turned his head and looked at the city lord. When he saw him nodding, he followed Haidi.
Nadette turned around and continued to look at the map on the desktop. Before he could, Arnold walked up to him and said, "Do you trust that little guy so soon?"
"No, that's why I let Heidi look at him." The city lord Nazite didn't raise his head and continued: "He came too coincidental. He came to the door just when we were about to take action. I don't know if it was a coincidence. You send someone to Lago County to check if there is really a person named Cook Green there, try to bring the news back within five days."
Arnold nodded: "No problem...but I think you are too suspicious."
“It’s always good to be cautious.”
On the third floor of the City Lord’s Mansion... Haidi took Beta to a large room, pointed to the surroundings and said, "This is the rest room of our third team and the gathering room. There are many empty rooms around, you can just find a room to stay."
This large room was obviously built according to the specifications of the conference hall. It contains a large dining table with many fruits, pastries, and some very comfortable chairs and furniture.
The other five people in the third team were in this big room. A young man came over with a little temptation in his eyes and asked, "Hisser Cook, you are a dragon vein warlock, you must be a dragon power, can you show it to us?"
Others were also full of curiosity.
"so?"
The aristocratic aura and talent of Beta opened up, and Mo Ming's impact and pressure suddenly appeared. The young man who rushed over to test almost knelt down. The others were farther away. The problem was not big, but he was also uncomfortable all over. Heidi was the least affected. After all, she had lv8 levels, but she also felt uncomfortable all over.
The tempted young man was called Robben, who struggled to resist Beta's momentum, and had the intention of begging for mercy in his eyes.
Beta stopped when he saw it was good. The other party is now his teammate, and it was not very good to have a relationship broken from the beginning.
There was no heavy pressure in the air, Robben straightened up, smiled awkwardly, and returned to his position just now.
Heidi gently patted Beta's back and said with approval: "Okay, boy, this move alone can give you an advantage in battle."
"It's too much." Beta smiled shyly: "I don't have enough practical combat capabilities and are prone to panic when fighting. Please give me more guidance."
"I'm quite modest." Heidi took the initiative to pull Beta's hand and said in a pun: "I just like a good boy like you. Do you want me to choose a room for you?"
Beta waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I'll do it myself."
Everyone laughed, and Heidi was laughing too. She let go of Beta's hand and a strange color flashed in her eyes.
Then Beta chose a room and lay down to rest.
Haidi chatted with other teammates in the big room for a while, and then returned to her room as if nothing had happened. But she did not rest, but opened the window lightly and jumped down. When she landed on the second floor, her legs gently hooked the lattice on the two-grid window, and she swung into the room on the second floor.
This is a study room where the city lord Nadette is dealing with government affairs.
Haidi landed lightly on the ground, saluted slightly and said, "City Lord, that Cook, is not simple."
"Why isn't it simple, tell me." Nadette raised his head.
"First of all, it's absolutely true that he is a nobleman." Heidi said with a smile: "I just held his hand, which is even more delicate than your daughter's hand, without a little calluse, and smoothly like a girl. This means that he has never done heavy work and has never taken a weapon."
Nadaita nodded: "He does have a noble character, he is a nobleman, there is no problem with that."
Heidi continued: "He also showed off his dragon power just now. Although he was far less than an adult dragon, he should not be underestimated. He did not lie about the Dragon Vein Warlock."
"continue."
Heidi took a light breath: "But this person is good at hiding his mind and acting. I just took his hand and deliberately seduced him, but he rejected me and seemed very innocent. If I hadn't found that the pulsation on his wrist had obviously accelerated, his body temperature increased, and there were signs of bulging slightly in the lower gear, he would have been deceived by him. He was very good at acting."
Nadette pondered for a while: "This is not too strange. After all, all the nobles can act, including me. Have you found anything else?"
"I think he came for your daughter." Haidi said with a strange expression: "I really can't understand why a dragon vein warlock or a nobleman came to mingle with us mercenaries and serve you? He should not be short of money."
Nadette thought Heidi's idea was quite funny: "If he is interested in my daughter, he can propose marriage in person, there is no need to do anything extra."
"Because he has no fame and should not be from a big family." Hedy shrugged: "I have never heard of the Green family, but the city lord, the surname "Page", is not unfamiliar with the nobles of the Francis. His dragon vein blood should be an aboriginal phenomenon, so he felt that he was not worthy of your daughter, so he found this method to show his strength and tell you that he has great potential."
Nadette smiled, smiling happily: "Actually, I admire your ability to think wildly. I think Cook did have some intentions when he came to me, but it was definitely not for my daughter."
"What's that for?"
Nadette spread his hands: "I don't know either, but I asked someone to go to Lago County to check, and I should be able to receive the news in five days."
"Then I will continue to monitor him next?" Haidi continued to ask.
Nadette shook his head: "Since the other party is so good at acting, he must be very smart. Forget it, don't test him, so just treat him as a member of the team and take good care of him. As long as he has time, no matter what his intentions are, he will be exposed. We will respond to changes in the same way as we remain unchanged."
