Victor wanted to know about Bertina, but the issue of the Wolf Shepherd Girl was very sensitive. With Dunn's background and status, he knew more or less inside information that was not convenient for the public.
Bertina is mysterious and unpredictable. No one knows her origins. She seems to be a character who suddenly appears, specifically against the famous nobles of the Disa Alliance. Of course, if she hadn't repeatedly challenged the rules set by the famous families in the highlands, and given the nobles
If it caused heavy losses, the reputation of the female wolf bandit Bertina would not be so loud.
Current intelligence shows that Bertina should be a rare level 7 animal trainer. She is accompanied by a level 4 ferocious white wolf and a level 5 dragon-veined monitor lizard. The ferocious white wolf can avoid danger with its keen wild intuition, allowing Bell to
Tina is basically invincible. And her dragon-veined monitor lizard is also quite powerful, having driven away fifth-level shadow lurkers.
In addition to these two war pets, Bertina once summoned a pack of forest wolves and a pack of wild boars to brazenly attack a large armed caravan and completely defeat her opponent.
It was the secret blood ability of the seventh-level beast tamer that triggered the beast tide. Therefore, the Disa Alliance recognized Bertina as the only seventh-level beast tamer today.
Master animal trainers above level seven are also called "animal herders".
This is where the title of the wolf shepherd girl Bertina comes from, which is more popular than her self-proclaimed "Queen of Miracles".
The beautiful girl was walking as a herdsman. She waved gently, and the beasts behind her rushed towards the fully armed half-elf warriors like a raging wave. The beasts roared, the warriors shouted, their claws and fangs tore through the solid armor, and their spears and crossbows
Pierce the thick fur, blood is flowing, life is withering...
Can a brutal battle be so dreamy?
The half-elves would secretly get excited just thinking about the scene of the beasts rushing into battle.
After the news spread, the wolf-shepherd girl gained a group of young admirers. Rich and famous families in various city-states also talked about Bertina and expressed gloating about the attacked armed caravan and the caravan owner's family.
You should know that a large armed caravan has at least 300 guards, which is equivalent to a small army. Only powerful families are qualified to form a large armed caravan. Its trade volume is so huge that it makes people jealous, and its tyranny of force is eye-catching.
Large armed caravans are private armies of powerful families. They start to transport goods from a certain place, and other small and medium-sized caravans can only drool next to them, waiting for the large caravans to eat and drink, and then pick up some leftovers. But this business
Most will lose money.
The Iron Rhino caravan was often bullied by large caravans. The Wolf Shepherd girl destroyed a large armed caravan in Rapid City. Dunn was surprised and couldn't help but drink a few more drinks to "celebrate".
It is worth mentioning that the large caravan that was attacked belonged to the famous Golden Nightingale sect in Rapid City. And Golden Nightingale has been involved in civil strife in recent years. The upper echelon of the alliance speculated that the attack on the large caravan by the wolf-shepherd girl was the aftermath of the Golden Nightingale's civil strife. Yes.
Therefore, everyone chose to stand by and watch the jokes made by the new leader of the Golden Nightingale clan. It was not until Bertina bloodbathed Luoye City that the famous sects realized that she had nothing to do with the famous Golden Nightingale clan and was not an avenger at all.
The wolf-herding girl Bertina ran to Highland City and slaughtered famous nobles without restraint. She completely became the number one gangster in the Disa Alliance, and all the half-elves related to her will be liquidated!
On this point, it is rare for the Sixteen Pillars to have unanimous opinions.
At first, rich and famous families were very curious about the Wolf Shepherd girl, and some wanted to use her, bribe her, or even recruit her. Now, no force in the alliance dares to have such small thoughts.
Victor pressed for news about the wolf-herding girl, but Dunn was unwilling to talk to him. He muttered: "The wolf-herding girl is a mysterious figure. I don't know much about her. I only know that she was between two
The armed caravan that was attacked more than years ago belonged to the famous Golden Nightingale family in Rapid City..."
As he spoke, Dunn observed Victor's expression. When he saw the other person frowning slightly and showing a thoughtful expression, he changed the topic and said: "The few people we are visiting this time are actually related to the Wolf Shepherd Girl... from Water Snake Town.
The mayor will hold an open-air party tomorrow evening and has entrusted me to invite Mr. Harvey, Mr. Victor, Mr. Maddie, and two ladies to attend the party tomorrow."
"Oh, this is also the tradition of Water Snake Town. The mayor and the branch president of the local adventure union came forward to invite the stewards of each caravan, the leaders of each adventure group, and distinguished people to attend the open-air party. On the one hand, it was to express gratitude.
Business travelers support Water Snake Town; on the other hand, everyone can exchange valuable intelligence with each other." Dunn further explained.
"What does the party in Water Snake Town have to do with us? We won't go!"
"The mayor invited us to attend the open-air party in Water Snake Town. What does it have to do with the wolf-shepherd girl Bertina?"
Maddie and Victor said almost at the same time.
Dunn glanced at Maddie first, then turned to Victor and said: "I can answer these two questions together. You yourself also know that the informants of the Thieves Guild betrayed your information. There is no way that the mayor of Water Snake Town did not listen.
Tell me about your situation. He came to me today and asked about your situation. I only said that you were all travelers in distress and just hitched a ride through Water Snake Town. I don’t know anything else about the situation."
"The mayor is not making things difficult for me, but he hopes that I will invite you to attend tomorrow's party so that everyone can get to know you."
Harvey shouted angrily: "We don't know them, why should they know us?"
The manager of the Iron Rhino Caravan would not neglect a "sixth-level venerable". He patiently explained: "The mayor has the responsibility to maintain peace and eliminate bandits. Bandit gangs have always been active on this business road like Water Snake Town.
Not to mention ordinary travelers, even small adventure groups have to travel with armed caravans to ensure their own safety. Since you joined the Iron Rhino Caravan halfway, the mayor has reason to suspect that you are spies for the bandit gang."
"Six years ago, the Flying Scorpion Bandits first sent a large number of spies to sneak into Shuangyang Town, and then worked together to invade the town, burned, killed, looted, and executed the mayor's family. There is a bloody example in Shuangyang Town. Of course, the local mayor
Will be extra careful.”
Harvey and Maddie looked at each other. They finally understood. Although there were people coming and going in Water Snake Town, they were all familiar business travelers from the town. Occasionally, there were strangers who were also accompanied by armed caravans who came to vouch for them. Like them, they joined halfway.
Travelers from caravans who are unwilling to guarantee will be treated as bandits by the local mayor and guarded against them.
Victor frowned and continued to ask: "What does this have to do with Bertina?"
Dunn coughed and said: "Bertina is a lone bandit and does not belong to any known bandit group, but she may not have any accomplices. The alliance requires all city-states to strictly investigate the associates of the Wolf Shepherd Bandit. The mayor of Water Snake Town threatened
I, if you are the accomplices of the Wolf Shepherd Girl, I can't get away from it."
Harvey asked with a straight face: "What does he mean?"
Dunn sighed and said, "It means that the mayor forced me to invite you to the open-air party in Water Snake Town for everyone to identify. I didn't want to disturb you, but I don't want to offend the local mayor."
"What if we refuse to keep the appointment?" Maddie asked coldly.
"The decision whether to go or not is up to you and has nothing to do with me. I'm just here to deliver a message."
Dunn shrugged his shoulders and said: "However, based on my understanding of the local mayor, if you refuse his invitation, he will think that you have something up his sleeve and will definitely take tough measures against you."
Harvey laughed angrily and said: "Haha, if we refuse to attend the open-air party, the mayor dares to falsely accuse us of being spies for bandits and associates of the Wolf Shepherd Girl? Then he sends people to arrest us?"
Dunn did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Actually, the local mayor is a pretty good person. The residents of Water Snake Town support him. However, the mayor values his position very much, and he does not allow Water Snake Town to make mistakes in his hands.
.”
Victor flicked his fingers and asked, "I would like to ask, is the local mayor an official from Luoye City College?"
Dunn thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "As far as I know, Mayor Middleton is not an official with a college background. He could have had a better future... As we all know, any college does not train valuable doctors, even if they
It was discovered that students with medical talents would also be taken away by famous families. And Middleton had the rare talent of a doctor. He was born in a wealthy family in the Green Forest City-state. Because he fell in love with the famous girl Christine, he was...
The exile of a wealthy family."
"Kristine is the wife of Mayor Middleton. Rumor has it that she came from a famous Golden Wing family in the Bright City. She was frail and sick since she was a child. When she was seeking medical treatment, she met and fell in love with Middleton. However, their relationship was blocked by Jin.
The opposition from the Wing Ming Clan is because the gap between the two parties is too big, and Christine already has a fiancé."
"But, they still eloped..."
"In order to appease the anger of the famous Golden Wing family, Middleton's wealthy family took the initiative to sever ties with him and no longer train him to be promoted to a fourth-level physician. Middleton is still a third-level physician."
"Kristen's relatives are trying to find a way for the Middletons to get the job of mayor of Water Snake Town. There is only so much they can do."
"No one will continue to help Mayor Middleton. If he loses his position as mayor, he will lose everything."
"Mayor Middleton is humble and gentle, but he is also cautious."
The Angel Wings Famous Sect, referred to as the Golden Wings Famous Sect, is the first of the Sixteen Pillar Famous Families, and alone occupies the central city-state of the Disa Alliance - the City of Light.
There is no doubt about the strength of the Golden Wing clan. They master a secret career path called "King of Balance".
Victor heard from Rhodes, the leader of the Iron Cross Regiment, that the "Balance King" has four specialties: strength, intelligence, agility, and physical fitness. He is a very powerful professional, but the "Balance King" requires someone from a famous Golden Wing family.
Bloodline is the unique career path of Angel Wings.
Victor was not interested in the third-level doctor Middleton, but he was very curious about the "Balance King Attendant" from the famous Golden Wing family. He always felt that the "Balance King Attendant", a profession with four specialties, seemed familiar.
"The mayor's wife is the 'King of Balance'?" he asked thoughtfully.
Dunn's eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Victor has also heard of the 'Balance King' from the famous Golden Wing family?" Victor didn't need to answer, he shook his head and said, "Mrs. Christine is known for her beauty and elegance. She is famous, but she is not a professional."
Victor, who is friendly to the wind element, is curious by nature. Since the mayor's wife is not the "Balance King's Attendant", his interest was halved and he said lightly: "Well, I know about the mayor's invitation. I will consider whether to go to the appointment."
Dunn stood up immediately and said politely: "In that case, I'll take my leave first. If Mr. Victor decides to go to the appointment, the time will be tomorrow evening, and the meeting place will be in the garden in the east district of Water Snake Town."
The caravan steward and the chief of guard left Victor's rental house together. The two turned into a secluded alley, and Welch couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Sir, you seem to be interested in irritating Victor on behalf of Mayor Middleton." Too many of them?”
The mayor invited them to the open-air party through Dunn, who was acquainted with Victor, which was a courtesy in itself. If Victor and his party didn't know how to be polite, don't blame him for being rude.
Of course, Middleton would not express it so directly, and there was no need to use Dunn to intimidate a few strangers of unknown origin. On the contrary, he spoke tactfully and politely, and Welch could not fault anything at the time.
Middleton clearly invited Victor and others to visit him. But why did his meaning turn into an offensive threat after being paraphrased by Dunn?
Dunn was obviously suspected of sowing discord, which puzzled Welch.
"Do you know why Middleton is so polite to Victor and the others? Because Victor's appearance and temperament are like those of a famous aristocrat...a famous aristocrat in trouble. Middleton neither wants to offend him nor get into trouble. He Assign me to invite Victor, am I willing to cause trouble?" Dunn sneered. As a wealthy and respected person working as a gunman, even if the mayor behaved politely, he still felt a sense of guilt in his heart. fire.
With the backing of a wealthy family, Dunn is actually not afraid of the mayor of Water Snake Town at all. However, it would be easy for Middleton to stumble the Iron Rhino Caravan. Although Dunn is annoyed, it is not easy to offend the officials of Water Snake Town. After all, he was the one who brought Victor and his party into the town.
"The patriarch told me that wealthy families like ours are actually in the most difficult situation." Dunn shook his head and said with emotion: "There are famous families above who are suppressing them, and there are local forces below that need to be managed. Middleton spoke to me politely. , I have no reason to reject his request."
He immediately raised the corner of his mouth again and said proudly: "I just deliberately mentioned that the Wolf Shepherd Girl attacked Golden Nightingale's large caravan. Did you notice Victor's expression? He was a little surprised and was particularly interested in the Wolf Shepherd Girl. I figured it out at the time that Victor and the others should be the losers of the internal fight among the famous Golden Nightingale family and had been hiding in the wild for a long time. Otherwise, how could they not know that everyone must stay away from the female wolf-shepherd bandit Bertina? Don’t you want to borrow her ability to take revenge on the famous Golden Nightingale family?”
Welch was startled. He looked around cautiously and said in a low voice: "We can't get involved in the internal fighting of Zhu Mingmen."
Dunn gloated and said with a smile: "Victor and the others ran to Luoye City. Maybe there are famous highland families who are willing to help him. The only one who can compete with the Golden Nightingale family is the Zhu Mingmen... Of course we can't fight between the Zhu Mingmen.
Get involved. I just want to know, if Middleton falls into the whirlpool of infighting among famous families, can his beautiful wife be able to save him?"
"Sir, do you want to stay and watch the show?" Welch asked anxiously.
Dunn shook his head seriously and said: "No. We will leave Water Snake Town tonight... You go back and make arrangements, and warn those talkative guys. If anyone dares to reveal Victor's information to outsiders again, I will kill him."
