Great Nobleman

Let everyone wait in the reception room for a while.

Howard went to ask for more detailed information

Not long after, Howard returned to the reception room, and said to everyone helplessly:

"Go back and rest first. The Judgment Division is currently communicating with several noble forces. The bandit suppression coalition formed by the nobles is also conducting self-censorship. No specific results will be obtained in a short while."

After hearing Howard's words, Finn asked with some doubts:

"So the news that the noble army failed to encircle and suppress the bandits is true? And they really captured the descendants of the nobles?"

Howard nodded and said:

"This matter was reported to the county headquarters of the Harm County Judiciary through the empty video screen by several noble family owners, and there is basically no possibility of falsehood.

In addition, the nobles are already considering whether to apply to the headquarters of the Judicial Department of the Imperial Capital to use a large magic circle to detect the specific locations of the three descendants. "

Having said that, Howard said again:

"Because the things involved in the task are more complicated and troublesome than expected, so everyone can decide whether to continue or not.

If you choose to continue the mission, the empire will also give more rewards depending on the situation.

The nobles of the empire will also give corresponding compensation for what Mr. Havel paid for the spell scroll today. "

Hearing this, Javier, who had always been in some pain, relaxed a lot.

Because it was already very late, everyone didn't stay here too long. After leaving the location of the Judicial Division Branch in Loy City, everyone returned to the hotel.

Brand was going to wash up and take a rest, but Finn knocked on the door again and came over.

Looking at Brand, who always had a relaxed expression, Finn's originally dignified expression couldn't help but relax a bit.

After sitting down in front of Brand, Finn smiled and said:

"Boss Brand, the difficulty of the mission has increased. If you want to continue to be the boss, you must pay more."

After hearing Finn's words, Brand was a little speechless.

After taking a sip of the tea handed over by Catherine, he said curiously:

"The coalition forces of nobles were defeated by those bandits, are you still planning to continue this mission?"

Finn shrugged and said:

"Come on, let's get involved. If the level of the battle is high, we can paddle aside and drink some soup on the edge. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Paddle is my job!"

After emphasizing this sentence, Brand spoke again:

"If you can complete the task in the end, of course I can add a little magic gold coin.

But if the final task fails, according to the contract, in addition to the magic gold coins I have already paid, you Jiwen Club will also pay me a liquidated damages, you should think about it! "

Finn waved his hand and said:

"It's just a small amount of money, and the task reward has also increased, right?

In addition, it is necessary for us 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 investigative tasks of the Inquisition Division have illustrated this. "

After putting down the teacup, Brand said:

"Are you saying that there are foreign forces preparing to hold us back?"

Finn nodded and said:

"It's an obvious thing, isn't it? It's just that we don't know which side is making the shot yet.

Regarding this matter, the Imperial Inquisition Division has already begun to investigate.

I think the families in the south of our Pioneering Legion, including your Holland family, have also joined the ranks of the investigation.

It is difficult for us to judge whether the opponent's methods will be more radical and undisguised after the real start of the war.

So instead of waiting for conflicts to break out at that time, it is better to find them out now, and then take targeted precautions.

This mission is an opportunity. It doesn’t matter if the previous attack on the town failed, but this time they can defeat the coalition of nobles and at the same time contact the black market to sell stolen goods. This is obviously not something ordinary bandits can do! "

Hearing Finn's analysis, Brand couldn't help admiring:

"As expected of the heir of the Chessier family, a few simple pieces of information can conjure up so much.

Unlike me, I only think about my own things every day. "

"I still envy you for being so leisurely."

After sighing helplessly like this, Finn said again:

"If you really encounter an enemy that you can't deal with, it's up to you."

Brand nodded and said:

"Of course there is no problem, but if I really want to make a move, you have to return the magic gold coins I paid for the boss package."

Hearing what Brand said, Finn wanted to respond as grandly as before.

But considering that since he created the "shield staff", he has been relatively cash-strapped.

After thinking about it carefully, Finn still tentatively said:

"How about I give you a few discount coupons for Jiwenshe's paid items?"

Brand firmly refused: "Don't even think about it!"

Finn scratched his head awkwardly and said:

"That's fine, I'll give you a refund then."

...

Early the next morning.

With dark circles under his eyes, Howard came to the hotel to tell everyone the details of last night.

"Five noble forces, led by great knights, assembled a team of nearly 10,000 people to encircle and suppress the 'bandits' whose number was about 3,000, but failed in the end.

The three descendants of the nobles who accompanied them were captured, and now the bandits have disappeared.

Things are more trouble than we expected! "

Hearing that such a mighty force finally failed, Finn was a little incredulous:

"How powerful are bandits?"

Howard explained:

"According to the leading knight, although the strength of those bandits is not bad, they are actually inferior to them.

But because the other party captured and transferred the three descendants of the nobles first, they had no choice but to retreat. "

Hearing such a process, Brand was a little puzzled:

"Since they are stronger, why are the descendants of the nobles who were captured by the other side?"

Howard shrugged and said:

"I don't know about this. It is said that because some important secrets are involved, they refused to share specific information. They just repeatedly emphasized that the other party is extremely cunning and despicable. Let us be careful in the next actions."

Hearing what Howard said, everyone's expressions could not help but become a little dignified.

——Such a powerful force has suffered calculations, they really need to pay attention to it!

After a little silence, Howard asked:

"Are you going to continue this mission? In addition to the mission rewards, the judge of the county city also issued a reward order for the bandits.

All activities around these bandits will have generous rewards corresponding to their contributions, including our ongoing investigation of black market ordnance missions. "

Finn spoke first:

"We decided to stay."

Javier followed suit by saying:

"After all, you have given a generous reward, and we decided to stay and help."

"That's a real thank you."

After thanking with a smile, Howard got down to business:

"The nobles have their own plans, and the teams of the Judiciary in the surrounding cities also perform their duties.

The next task of our team is to continue to investigate the black market, investigate the whereabouts of lost ordnance, and investigate the situation of bandits as much as possible.

Other people will be responsible for encircling bandits and rescuing the descendants of captured nobles. "
