"Master Claus, the master needs your reply as soon as possible, and hopes that you and Knight Walker will return to Sands Harbor."
The messenger who came to deliver the letter said this.
Seeing his dusty appearance, John waved his hand and ordered Mark to get some food and drinks for the knight.
The messenger looked at John gratefully, then sat down and started eating.
After running for hundreds of miles continuously, he only ate some dry food and water on the horse in a hurry. Even with his strength as a level 3 rogue, he still felt hungry and tired. There is nothing better than hot food and a cup of frothy beer.
Ale makes people feel more comfortable.
John was not familiar with this wanderer, which was not surprising. These mysterious family vassals were usually secretly trained somewhere, not in the same place as the disciples of their retainers.
The rogue is a profession similar to the agile warrior. People's first impression of this profession is that of thieves, thieves and assassins.
However, rogues are actually very different from each other. Some are good at sneaking, some are liars with a sharp tongue, and some are scouts, infiltrators, spies, diplomats or villains.
What they have in common is that they are versatile and adaptable. Generally speaking, rogues are good at speed and dexterity, and are good at using daggers, stabbing swords, crossbows and various traps. Some rogues also master some spellcasting skills and use trickery.
Sneaking into treasure vaults, passing deadly traps, obtaining military secrets, deceiving guards into trusting them, or getting the wallet of an unlucky ghost are all rogues' specialty.
However, usually the rogues under nobles and government departments serve more as battlefield servants and intelligence personnel, so their identities naturally need to be kept mysterious.
Klaus and John were reading the letter at this time.
Klaus's biological uncle, Lucien van Heisensel, started the letter with the polite greetings of an aristocrat, and then changed the topic and mentioned that something happened to the mine belonging to Klaus.
At the end of the letter, he specifically stated that Klaus and John should rush back to the family as soon as possible. Moreover, there was a code word in the letter that the family used to communicate secretly. Obviously, there was more to the matter than what was stated in the letter. The code word meant
There are also some important situations that cannot be stated directly in the letter.
Not only cannot it be written on paper, but it cannot even be dictated by the messenger. Obviously this matter is top secret.
Klaus and John looked at each other and said slightly worriedly:
"It turned out to be an accident at the mine. It seems we have to rush back to Jinsha Port."
John understood what his young master meant. It was just a mine. It was not a gold or silver mine, but an ordinary copper mine. In Western States, the most famous mine was the gold mine. Of course, copper mines are more valuable now, at least than lead mines.
Iron ore is more valuable.
It's not that Klaus' uncle can't afford gold and silver mines, and there are even many families with rarer mineral resources, but the nobles of this world still understand the principle of harboring treasures. If you don't have that status, you can't.
Leaving one level to occupy better resources is a lesson learned by the aristocrats of the Old World through thousands of years of life and death experience.
Since Klaus has given up his inheritance rights, anyone with a discerning eye will think that he is not valued by the Hessenser family. Some people will boldly challenge the family authority, or covet the interests of the gold mine, or some people will try to
The way of hurting Klaus was to test Hessensel. So this can also be regarded as a kind of protection for Klaus and the others.
For both John, what was important was not the copper mine where the accident occurred, but what was hidden and unsaid in Lucien's letter.
It is obviously not a small matter to recall family members like them who are equivalent to being separated and exiled in disguise.
John thought they would stay in Rem Town for a few years, but he didn't expect to return to Sands Harbor so soon.
However, things are fickle. In his previous life, he had been used to running around with cases all over the world and could not return home more than once a year. Usually many cases are not limited to one province or place, and cases that happen around him are likely to involve people from other provinces.
Investigations and even suspects absconding outside the province, so there is already resistance to this.
Because he didn’t know what it would be like to go to Sands Harbor, and John didn’t know how long it would take, so he didn’t resign from the town council, but left Mark as the acting police chief. After all, although the job at the Sheriff’s Office was not big, it was
It can also bring them an income of more than 200 pounds per month. In addition, the family's part of the smuggling chain in Rem Town has been handed over to Klaus as his private property, which is an annual income of thousands of pounds.
Naturally, Rem Town cannot give up.
Due to the accumulation of experience as a bounty hunter in the past twenty years, Mark already has the strength of a level 2 knight in just a few days after taking office, and is still faintly breaking through to level 3. This kind of strength can be compared with ordinary gangsters and bounty hunters.
Rich experience is enough.
With him sitting in Rem Town, there will be absolutely no problem for a short period of one and a half years.
This time going to Sands Port, John decided to take Arthur, Brandon, Sam and of course the newly recruited attendants to become the knight's attendants. Naturally, the Salvatore brothers would always follow the knight to serve. What's more, if these two
With the vampire by his side, John couldn't return to Sands Harbor with peace of mind.
As for Joe and Dashil, because the goals of the three Vanderlin brothers were too big, they stayed at the Dragon Claw Forest lair outside Rem Town. They also helped each other with Mark. If there was any difficult problem to solve, Mark also had two powerful helpers.
I brought Arthur with me because of his rich experience and understanding of the supernatural world, and he could give me the advice I needed.
It seems that John now has a considerable force under his command. The Van der Linde Gang, a group of three druid wolf tribe followers, is considered a dark force with good combat effectiveness. However, because the federal Van der Linden Gang is a well-known wanted order, it cannot be put on the bright side.
,
The family behind the newly conquered Salvatore brothers is different. Although it is only a small family ranked at the bottom of the old aristocratic alliance, it is also a small tycoon who can influence a town.
The strength has increased a lot. Many inconvenient and not serious matters can be left to them to handle.
Coupled with the extraordinary strongman Brandon and Mark, whose knight training is on the right track, John believes that at least there should be no other forces that he can fight against in Rem Town and Blackwater Town surrounded by Dragon Claw Forest.
Even if it is an alien dragon crossing the river, there is still a great god called Teacher Fandral who can suppress any monsters that come.
According to the secret technique taught by the teacher, the rangers of their natural balance sect are just like the Druid's rare and legendary advanced profession, the Emerald King (Green Wood King). When they reach the level of the master-level golden powerhouse, they can
Choosing a forest or jungle as their own territory, they protect and maintain the balance and growth of this forest, and the forest rewards them with strength, forming their own unique domain, and eventually being promoted to a legend in the world.
This is equivalent to a god-like existence like a totem spirit or a guardian spirit.
Their advanced profession is the Lord of the Jungle. After John heard this secret, his first reaction was, "Isn't this the Earth Immortal among the fifth-level immortals in our Middle Earth Xuanmen?"
However, John feels that Fandral's description of the legendary profession of Jungle Lord is far inferior to that of the immortal earth immortal who shines with the sun and the moon. It should probably be equivalent to the level of Xuanmen ghost immortal or human immortal. There is a certain detachment but also
Not completely detached.
Therefore, there is a big gap in strength between Fandral who is in the Golden Leaf Forest and Fandral who is not in the Golden Leaf Forest.
Not within the scope of the Golden Leaf Forest, Fandral is just a master ranger with stronger swordsmanship. His semi-spellcasting profession will make him stronger than human warriors of the same level, but it is also limited. Because in battle, life and death are determined by the race against time.
It doesn't give you time to prepare spells at all. Highly powerful spells generally cannot be cast instantly, and the power of low-level spells that can be cast quickly will not have much impact on the battle situation.
It still relies on his own swordsmanship and ability. John has already realized this. If it weren't for a group of men in front, he wouldn't be able to cast a series of spells.
After greeting the mayor and others, arranging things in Rem Town, and preparing to leave the night before, John sent Arthur to the Golden Leaf Forest to deliver a letter to the teacher. As a giant wolf, he had the fastest footsteps and was familiar with the forest.
Due to the circumstances, if it had been anyone else, I would have fallen into the forest before the letter was delivered.
The carriage, horses and salutes are all ready, and they will set off on the road as soon as Arthur returns.
