Chapter 414 involves some "important secrets"!
Let everyone wait in the reception room for a while.
Not long after Harward went to ask for more detailed information
, Harward returned to the reception room and said to everyone helplessly:
"You should go back and rest first. The Judgment Department is currently communicating with several noble forces. The nobles The bandit-suppression coalition formed is also reviewing itself, and no concrete results will be obtained for a while."
After hearing Harward's words, Finn asked with some doubts:
"So the news about the failure of the noble army to encircle and suppress the bandits Is it true? And the descendants of the nobles were really captured?"
Harward nodded and said,
"This matter was reported to the county headquarters of the Ham County Trial Department through several noble family heads through the empty screen. There is basically no possibility of it being false. .
In addition, the nobles are already considering whether to apply to the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Judgment Department to use a large magic circle to detect the specific locations of the three descendants." At
this point, Harward said again:
"Because the task involves things It's more complicated and troublesome than expected, so you can decide for yourself whether you want to continue the mission.
If you choose to continue the mission, the Empire will also give you more rewards depending on the situation. The
Empire paid for Mr. Javier's spell scroll today. The nobles will also provide corresponding compensation."
After hearing this, Javier, who had been feeling a little pain, his expression softened a lot.
Because it was already very late, everyone did not stay here too long. After leaving the Loy City Judgment Department branch, everyone returned to the hotel.
Brand was originally going to wash up and rest, but Finn knocked on the door again and came over.
Looking at Brand, who always had a leisurely look on his face, Finn couldn't help but relax a little from his original serious expression.
After coming to sit down in front of Brand, Finn smiled and said:
"Boss Brand, the difficulty of the task has increased. If you still want to continue to be the boss, you must increase the money." Hearing this
. Brand was speechless after Finn's words.
After taking a sip of the tea handed over by Catherine, he asked curiously:
"The coalition of nobles was defeated by those bandits. Are you still ready to continue this mission?"
Finn shrugged and said:
"You're all here, participate. Just a moment. If the battle level is very high, we can just paddle on the side and drink some soup on the edge. There should be no problem."
"Padding is my task!"
After emphasizing this sentence, Brand said again :
"If you can really complete the mission in the end, of course I can add some magic gold coins.
But if the final mission fails, according to the contract, in addition to the magic gold coins I have paid, your Chronicle Club will also have to pay me You have to think about the liquidated damages!"
Finn waved his hand and said:
"It's just a small amount of money, and the mission reward has also increased, hasn't it?
In addition, we also need to stay and help with this matter.
According to intelligence, the situation in the southern part of the empire is getting worse.
The various current investigation tasks of the Judgment Department have already shown this."
After putting down the tea cup, Brand said:
"You are saying that there are foreign forces preparing to hold us back. ?"
Finn nodded and said:
"This is an obvious thing, isn't it? It's just that we don't know which force is responsible for the attack yet.
Regarding this matter, the Imperial Judgment Department has already started investigating.
I think we can open up The families in the south of the legion, including your Holland family, have also joined the investigation. It is
difficult for us to judge whether the other party's methods will be more radical and undisguised when the pioneering war begins.
So instead of waiting for another conflict to break out at that time, it is better to find them now and then take targeted precautions.
This mission is an opportunity. Forget about the failure to attack the small town before. This time, while being able to defeat the noble coalition, , and can also contact the black market to sell stolen goods, which is obviously not something ordinary thieves can do!"
After hearing Finn's analysis, Brand couldn't help but admired:
"You are worthy of being the heir of the Cecil family, just a few words I can think of so much information.
Unlike me, I only think about my own affairs every day."
"I envy you for being so leisurely."
After sighing helplessly, Finn added:
"If we really meet It's up to you to deal with any enemies that you can't deal with."
Brand nodded and said,
"Of course there is no problem, but if I really want to take action, you have to refund me the magic gold coins I paid for the boss package. ."
After hearing what Brand said, Finn wanted to respond as grandly as before.
But considering that since he built the "Shield Staff", he has been relatively short of money.
After thinking about it carefully, Finn still tentatively said:
"How about I give you some discount coupons for the paid items of the Journal News Agency?"
Brand firmly refused: "Don't even think about it!"
Finn scratched his head in embarrassment. He scratched his head and said,
"Okay, I'll give you a refund then."
...
Early the next morning.
Howard came to the hotel with dark circles under his eyes to tell everyone the details of last night.
"Five aristocratic forces, led by the great knight, assembled a team of nearly ten thousand people to encircle and suppress the 'bandits', which numbered about three thousand people. In the end, they failed. The three descendants of the nobles who accompanied them were captured. Now
those The bandits have disappeared.
Things are much more troublesome than we expected!"
Hearing that such a powerful force finally failed, Finn said in disbelief:
"The bandits are so powerful?"
Harward explained. :
"According to the leading knight, although the strength of the bandits is good, they are actually not as good as them.
But because the other party captured and transferred the three noble descendants first, they had no choice but to surrender. Retreat."
After hearing this process, Brand was a little puzzled and said:
"Since they are stronger, why are the descendants of the nobles accompanying them captured by the other party?"
Harward shrugged and said,
"I don't understand. I don’t know. It is said that because it involves some important secrets, they refused to share specific information. They just emphasized repeatedly that the other party is extremely cunning and despicable, so we must be careful in our next actions."
Hearing what Harward said, everyone couldn't help but look a little solemn.
——Such a powerful force has been subjected to calculations, and they really need to pay attention!
After a moment of silence, Harward asked:
"Do you want to continue this mission? In addition to the mission reward, the county's trial department also issued a reward order for the bandits.
All activities surrounding these bandits , there will be generous rewards corresponding to the contribution, including our ongoing task of investigating the black market ordnance."
Finn first spoke up:
"We decided to stay."
Javier followed closely and responded:
"After all, you gave For a generous reward, we also decided to stay and help."
"Thank you very much."
After thanking you with a smile, Harward got down to business:
"The nobles have their own plans, and the surrounding cities will judge Si's team also performs their duties.
The next task of our team is to continue to investigate the black market, investigate the whereabouts of the lost ordnance, and find out the situation of the bandits to the best of our ability.
Encircling and suppressing the bandits and rescuing the descendants of the captured nobles will be left to others Responsible for carrying out the work."
