Chapter 211: Smoke of War in Storm Bay
"Crash la la la..."
In the pouring rain, the Speaker of the Storm Parliament sat in the living room of the Guardian Dragon Mark Family, waiting with a dull expression.
Counting this family, he has traveled to six places, but without exception, no one has the intention to help the Storm Council.
'It's time to think about the future. We can't stay in Storm Bay any longer. We have to return to Khorvaire as soon as possible, otherwise...'
He was thinking anxiously that the Speaker, who originally worked for the Parliament of Storms, had already made plans to abandon everything here and go to Khorvaire to start a new life.
He has money in his hands, and it is a huge amount of money. Unless his descendants and grandchildren are just sluggish entrepreneurs, they will not easily lose all their wealth.
At this moment, the deputy steward guarding the Dragon Mark family came out of the inner hall.
"Sorry, sir, the leader..."
The Guardian Dragon Mark family is famous on the mainland for its mercenaries, and the person in charge of each station is the commander of the mercenary group.
Most of the holders of the Guardian Dragon Mark are trained to be excellent bodyguards and bodyguards, and they are the ones with the best reputation in the industry.
The Speaker of the Storm Parliament actually planned to go back after being rejected three times, but the reason why he waited until now was to negotiate a business deal with the Guardian Dragon Mark Family.
After hearing the adjutant's words to send him away, the Speaker forced a smile.
He used to use this same rhetoric when sending others away.
"Hey! You misunderstood. I'm not here to ask you to send troops for help, but to discuss business.
A mission to escort treasure to Sarn and protect the three targets. We are about to set off. Do you want to pick it up? "
After hearing the speaker's words, the adjutant looked him up and down. After more than ten seconds, he smiled and said:
"Sir, you are also a flexible person. That's right. The matter has come to this, and you can't force it. It's better to plan for yourself as soon as possible. I will arrange manpower for you right now. You can wait here. We will set off soon."
Nodding, the Speaker took out a pocket fine gold key from his clothes.
"This is the key to the vault at my home. The treasures that need to be escorted are those inside. You can just pay the cost of the escort fee directly in it."
After handing the adamantine key to the adjutant, the Speaker wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered.
After weighing the key, the adjutant didn't know that this was a disguised bribe to him and wanted to leave as soon as possible?
So he nodded and said: "Don't worry, we are very professional in protecting the Dragon Mark Family, you can just wait here for another hour or two.
Come on someone! The guests have been waiting outside for such a long time, why don’t they even get the snacks? "
After that, the adjutant left with a team of people.
How can the Speaker have the heart to eat some preserved fruits? He just sat in the chair as much as possible, waiting for the adjutant to leave with his wife and children.
Sure enough, the people guarding the Dragon Mark family were very agile. After more than an hour, they came back with several dimensional bags and the speaker's wife and children.
It seems that the Speaker has a bit of a conscience. His wife is the same age as him and his son is already in his forties. They are both from his original wife.
"Dad, has things really come to this?"
Seeing his father sitting here a little depressed, the speaker's son looked quite reluctant to give up.
"We have no choice but to leave. Can't you see the situation outside? This is our family's only escape route. With so much money, what can we do?"
After tugging on his son, the Speaker now fully accepted the reality that the Storm Parliament was gone.
Soon, the family was on the airship returning to Khorvaire.
Along with the airship heading to Khorvaire, there were also letters from Carl and Hope.
…
"Dear Master, we see each other as if we have met each other. Your apprentice, I have encountered a little trouble recently. I hope you can come over. Bracket smile."
In Arkanix's Tower of Ordnance office, Morgban looked at this brief letter and was a little confused as to what his disciple was doing.
"This guy can't even explain what he's saying. How can I go over and help him? This doesn't prove that he sent this letter himself!"
Just when he was hesitant, he suddenly remembered the way the Kingdom Eyes transmitted secret information that he had mentioned when discussing topics with Karl before.
He then followed one of these methods and slightly heated the letter.
Suddenly, more words appeared on the paper that was mostly blank.
"I found a legendary harp made by a stone giant bard in Xen'drik, but Storm Bay seems to have been caught up in the conspiracy of the Druid of the Son of Winter. I can't grasp the situation. Come here quickly. !”
Seeing those three consecutive exclamation marks, Morgban nodded, feeling that this indeed sounded like Karl's tone.
"No. 1, wait until the tower master comes back and report my whereabouts to him. Alas, this kid really can run into trouble wherever he goes!"
After that, Morgban took the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid Symbiote Armor given to him by Karl Xiaozhong, and strode away towards the teleportation square.
When Morgan arrived at Storm Bay through the teleportation circle, he was stunned by the current scene here.
Not far outside the teleportation circle, the stations of the ordinary forces had been completely destroyed. The twisted tree spirits smashed everything on the surface, but they all avoided the stations of the Dragon Mark family and other important forces.
At this time, three days had passed since Karl sent the letter.
The cause of the current scene in Storm Bay happened two days ago.
…two days ago…
"Huh~, I've finally been promoted to level 10 Magical Weapon Master. I've sent all the letters and everything. With both hands prepared, things will be safer."
On the second floor of the base, after a period of hard work, Karl finally completed his promotion.
And with the effects brought by the professional characteristics, Karl suddenly became aware of many problems in making strange weapons.
"V, what's for dinner tonight? Let Hope and Scorpion make it rich!"
After giving instructions to V through the mental link, Karl went to wash himself off, and then walked towards Bain and Thorin who were exercising.
Because the second floor became extra large after being renovated by V, Karl divided it into a training area and a shooting range.
Since the construction was completed, Bain and Thorin spent all day exercising here.
"Bain! Thorin! My artificer level has exceeded level 10! Let's celebrate with something good tonight!"
After sharing the good news with the two of them, Carl took the elevator back to the first floor.
After Scorpion found out, he immediately made plans to go out and buy some fresh seafood.
Ever since she learned from Hope that many seafoods have the function of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys, she always tries to add extra meals.
Karl felt that Bain's hiding in the training ground had something to do with this matter.
As an Eludenian, Carl still liked aquatic products, so he took Hope and Scorpion to the market on a newly made magic motorcycle.
Although the atmosphere here is becoming more and more depressing now, there is no problem with the basic food supply.
Rather, for some reasons that cannot be understood, the buying and selling of various foods suddenly increased.
Karl felt that many people were secretly recruiting troops. Once the first person came forward to formally fight against the Storm Council, the rest would spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
"How do you sell this squid and these shrimps? 3 copper coins? The price has increased? Okay, give me more of this, some of this, and oysters and this!"
Scorpions have always been responsible for bargaining with merchants. I don't know what happened to these drows. Once they entered human society, they all immediately became masters of bargaining.
Ying is also one of the good ones, but she always relies on a cold face and hard-to-get tactics to bargain, which makes Karl reluctant to go shopping with her, fearing that the boss will hold his legs and cry.
Soon, all the shopping was done, and because of Xie's superb bargaining skills, the boss even gave away some tuna and shellfish for free.
But just as the three of them were about to go back, several gunshots suddenly sounded nearby.
The three of them looked back and saw that there were people moving around on the west side of the market.
"Something happened!"
Almost at the same moment, this thought flashed through the minds of everyone present.
The vendors, who had already experienced a similar incident, began to pack up their things skillfully.
And the commotion in the distance is rapidly expanding here.
"Kill him! Kill this lackey of the Storm Council!"
In front of the surging crowd, an embarrassed guy was trying to escape. Carl took a closer look and found that he was still an acquaintance.
"Isn't that the member of the Storm Council who came to search before?"
The Scorpion on the side obviously knew this person, and now seeing how unlucky the other person was, the corners of his mouth were almost bent to the base of his ears.
"Go away! You are crazy! You dare to attack me! Isn't it just that I didn't pay for the meal? I never paid him for dinner at his house before! You guys, you really have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. I, I will..."
Although what he said was very powerful, anyone could see that this congressman was looking fierce and angry.
Those who had been bullied by him finally saw the strength of the Storm Council at this time.
‘Yes, they are not much better than me, why should I be bullied by them?
And I’m still being reasonable! ’
As similar thoughts appeared in people's minds, a strange momentum began to spread rapidly.
Finally, the congressman realized the difference.
"I, can't I just give him some extra money? A meal only costs a few dollars, you guys..."
Before he could finish speaking, a child who looked to be eleven or twelve years old suddenly rushed out with a rusty dagger.
How could the already highly nervous congressman fail to discover this child?
Seeing that the other party actually attacked him, he subconsciously kicked the other party.
With a cry of pain, the child's arm bent abnormally in the opposite direction.
The congressman was congratulating himself on his skill, but more people waved their swords at him.
The congressman hurriedly took out the revolver on his waist and tried to fight back, but a thief stole the gun from his hand.
"Bang!"
I don't know where the gunshot came from, and the congressman was hit in the head in the street.
