Chapter 406: The adventurous group from afar
"The nearest opening day of the nearby black market is tomorrow, and I have found out the specific location. I will take
you to find a place to settle down today, and we will start taking action tomorrow morning." The
strength testing session is over . Afterwards, Harward led Brand and others out of the Judgment Division's stronghold in a low mood, and then went to a nearby hotel not far away.
After leading a few people into the hotel, Harward introduced:
"This is a property under the Judgment Department. In addition to daily operations, it is also a place where we place visitors secretly. If you have any needs, you can also Tell the boss that he is one of our own."
After leading everyone to check in, Harward said goodbye:
"You can act on your own today. You can look at the mission information I gave you, and you can also stroll around the city. Tomorrow morning I will come here to meet you."
After waving to everyone, Harward left their sight.
After that, Brand asked Finn and others:
"I'm going to take a walk in the city, do you want to come with me?"
After thinking for a moment, Finn said:
"Just in case, I want to pick up the Make some preparations for the mission down here. Essam and Rabiot will be with me, so boss, you'd better go shopping by yourself!"
Seeing that Finn didn't forget to call him boss when there were no outsiders.
Brand couldn't help but secretly admire Finn's professionalism.
Then, he smiled and said,
"Then Catherine and I will take the first step."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Brand took Catherine for a stroll through the streets of Loy City.
He admired the scenery along the way, and occasionally smiled back at the ladies who passed by and glanced at him.
Compared to the imperial capital at the center of the empire, Roy City can only be regarded as a small, remote place.
Holland Territory also has a city similar in size to Roy City.
Although these cities are not as prosperous as big cities.
But because of the prevalence and development of magic, everything is in order.
A few years ago, before joining the Imperial Royal Mage Academy, Brand had considered waiting to leave Hollandburg to become independent, and he would buy a manor in a similar city like this.
Compared with those big cities, prices in this small city are cheaper and all kinds of facilities and materials are relatively complete. It is a good place to enjoy life.
When he is free, he can also try to develop some simple industries to see if he can improve his level of luxury.
However, it is a pity that
because of the pioneering war, because I have embarked on the path of a mage, and because the funds in my hands have become abundant, everything before has to be re-planned.
Compared with finding a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in a corner.
Brand now wants to have a large piece of land and be free to design it according to his own ideas.
As he walked along, Brand's eyes suddenly fell on the decoration in the corner of the door lintel of a tailor shop on the roadside.
——There is a flying white iris emblem printed there.
——The style of this emblem was designed by him personally, which means that this is the stronghold of Chris's intelligence organization.
After a few glances, Brand withdrew his gaze.
So far, the intelligence organization under Chris has established a huge intelligence network in the southern part of the empire, with their strongholds in most cities.
Roy City is naturally among this list.
Because there is nothing that requires help from the intelligence personnel, Brand is not prepared to disturb their work. He can come over to see if there is a need later.
Continuing forward, a clear river stretches across the front, with uniform stone railings on both sides of the river.
Just when Brand was about to find a place to sit down and rest.
As he sensed it, someone came straight towards his position.
After Brand looked in the direction of perception.
He saw an elegant red-haired lady wearing an exotic crimson silk luxurious dress and a tulle hat of the same color walking towards him.
Seeing this, Brand smiled and showed a questioning look.
Perhaps because of Brand's smile, the lady's expression was unconsciously dazed for a moment.
Then, she smiled and said:
"Hello sir, I am Hisali Carlson, from the Kingdom of Beleriand. I am very happy to meet an elegant gentleman like you in such a small city."
Elegant gentleman?
Brand rarely hears such adjectives used to describe him.
After all, he still looks a bit too young.
After such an idea flashed in his mind, Brand responded with a smile:
"I am Brand Holland, a native of the Kaya Empire. I just visited this small border town today.
It is so wonderful to be able to meet Ms. Carlson here. A beautiful lady from a foreign country, my heart is also full of surprises."
Hearing Brand's response, Hisali's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.
Then, she couldn't wait to send out the invitation:
"Just call me Hisali, Mr. Holland. I've been here for a while. Do you want me to take you around the city?"
After thinking for a moment, Brand responded with a smile:
"It seems that today is my lucky day to be able to walk with such a beautiful lady.
Besides, just call me Brand."
They talked and laughed all the way while walking.
Hisari also asked about Brand’s identity.
Since there was nothing to hide, Brand said bluntly:
"I am the second son of the Holander family of the Kaya Empire. I have been traveling around the empire recently."
After explaining this, Brand was a little curious and said:
"I don't know. Why did Ms. Hisali travel across mountains and rivers from the Kingdom of Beleriand in the center of the Human Alliance to the Kaya Empire on the border?"
After knowing that Brand came from a noble family, he nodded with suspicion.
In response to Brand's question, Hisari responded with a smile:
"Although the Kaya Empire is located in a remote area, after the news of the pioneering war spread, it has become the focus of the Human Alliance.
In the central area of the Human Alliance, countless Profit-seeking businessmen came here one after another to seize the opportunity.
I also failed to withstand the temptation, so I brought my subordinates over to take a look."
After hearing this, Brand was a little curious and said:
"Hisali Is the lady a businessman?"
Hisari shook her head and said:
"Although the men under my command occasionally engage in commercial activities, it is more appropriate to call us an adventure group."
After saying this, Hisari further introduced her identity:
"I am the leader of the Blood Blade Adventure Group . , is recently leading his adventure group members to explore ruins and treasures nearby."
Hearing that this woman was the leader of the adventure group from the central area of the Human Alliance, Brand couldn't help but be curious about the other party's adventure experience.
In order to satisfy Brand's curiosity, Sisali recounted the exciting process of exploring the ruins and treasures one after another.
Listening to Hisari's various adventures, Brand couldn't help but marvel.
As we walked around and talked, the sun gradually reached the atrium.
Hisari invites Brand to her place for lunch.
However, Brand declined the woman's invitation and said he still had friends waiting for him.
After the two of them exchanged their respective hotels and parted ways.
Catherine, who had been following Brand, reminded her loudly:
"Master, from this lady, I feel a sense of threat similar to that of Master Yersen. I think she should be a high-ranking knight."
Hearing this, Brand smiled and said:
"This is actually not surprising. After all, she comes from a country in the middle of the Human Alliance. She brought people from such a far away place. It would be better if she is not strong." Return to the hotel and eat
again After the lunch prepared by Catherine, Brand didn't go out again.
After all, most of the beautiful scenery in Roy City has been seen.
But something that surprised him was.
In the afternoon, Hisari took the initiative to find him, and also brought someone with him who had a relationship with him in the Furnace Volcano in the north.
——Williams Cockburn, non-heir direct descendant of the Cockburn family.
Brand didn't wait for a surprised sound.
Williams took the lead and introduced himself with a smile:
"Hello Mr. Brand, it's been more than two months since we parted ways in the north. Williams Lucien would like to extend his most sincere greetings to you!" (
