Pale Emblem

Chapter 103 Provocation
Victor wants to know about Bertina, but the issue of the wolf shepherd girl is very sensitive.With Dunn's background and status, he more or less knew some inside information that was not convenient to disclose.

Bertina is mysterious and unpredictable, and no one knows her origin. She seems to be a character who appeared suddenly, and she specializes in opposing the famous nobles of the Disa Alliance.Of course, if she hadn't repeatedly challenged the rules set by the famous highland families and caused heavy losses to the nobles, Bertina's reputation would not be so loud.

Current information shows that Bertina should be a rare level 7 animal trainer, with a fourth-level ferocious white wolf and a fifth-level dragon-veined monitor lizard beside her.Dire White Wolf can avoid danger with his keen wild intuition, making Bertina basically invincible.And her dragon-veined monitor lizard is also quite powerful, having expelled fifth-order shadow lurkers.

In addition to these two battle pets, Bertina once called a pack of forest wolves and wild boars to attack a large armed caravan, and completely defeated the opponent.

It is the secret blood ability of the seventh-level animal trainer to trigger the beast tide.Therefore, the Disa Alliance has determined that Bertina is the only seventh-level animal trainer today.

The venerable beast tamers above the seventh level are also called "beast herders".

This is where the title of the wolf shepherd girl Bertina comes from, and she is more popular than her self-proclaimed "Queen of Miracles".

The beautiful girl shepherds the wolves, she waved her hand lightly, and the herd of beasts behind her rushed towards the fully armed half-elf warriors like a raging wave.The beast roared, the warrior shouted, the sharp claws and fangs tore through the solid armor, the spear and crossbow pierced the thick fur, the blood was flowing, and the life was dying...

Can brutal battles be so dreamy?

The half-elf would be secretly excited just thinking about the scene of the beast tide rushing into battle.

After the news spread, the wolf shepherd girl gained a group of young admirers.The rich and famous families in various city-states are also talking about Bertina, and expressed gloating over the armed caravan and caravan owners who were attacked.

You know, a large armed caravan has at least 300 guards, which is equivalent to a small army.Only powerful families are qualified to form large armed caravans.Its trade volume is so huge that it makes people jealous, and its force is so tyrannical that it makes people look sideways.

A large armed caravan is a powerful private army.They started to transship goods from a certain place, and other small and medium-sized caravans could only drool beside them, waiting for the large caravans to eat and drink, and then pick up some leftovers, but most of this business would lose money.

Iron rhino caravans are often bullied by big caravans.The wolf girl destroyed a large armed caravan in Strom. Dunn was surprised, but couldn't help drinking a few more glasses to "celebrate".

It is worth mentioning that the large caravan under attack belongs to the famous Golden Nightingale family in Strom City.The Golden Nightingale has had civil strife in recent years.The upper echelons of the alliance speculated that the attack on the large caravan by the wolf girl was the aftermath of the Golden Nightingale's civil turmoil.In this regard, everyone chose to stand by and watch the jokes of the new patriarch of Golden Nightingale.It wasn't until Bertina bloodbathed the Fallen Leaf City that the famous families realized that she had nothing to do with the famous Golden Nightingale family, and she was not an avenger at all.

Bertina, a wolf shepherd girl, ran to the highland city and slaughtered the nobles with impunity.She has completely become the number one gangster of the Disa Alliance, and all half-elves who have anything to do with her will be liquidated!

On this point, the opinions of the famous Sixteen Pillars are rarely unanimous.

In the beginning, the rich and famous families were very curious about the wolf shepherd girl, and some people wanted to use her, buy her, or even recruit her.Now, no force in the alliance dared to have such petty thoughts anymore.

Victor asked about the news of the wolf shepherd girl, but Dunn was unwilling to talk to him, and said in a deep voice: "The wolf shepherd girl is a mysterious person, and I don't know much about her. I only know that she was in two The armed caravan attacked more than years ago belonged to the famous Golden Nightingale family in Strom..."

Dunn observed Victor's expression while talking. Seeing that he frowned slightly and showed a thoughtful expression, he changed the subject and said, "The few people we are visiting this time are actually related to the wolf shepherd girl... the people from Water Snake Town The mayor will hold an open-air party tomorrow evening, and entrusts me to invite Mr. Harvey, Mr. Victor, Mr. Maddie, and two ladies to the party tomorrow."

"Oh, this is also a tradition in Water Snake Town. The mayor and the branch president of the local adventure union invited the stewards of the caravans, the heads of the adventure groups, and high-ranking people to participate in the open-air party. On the one hand, it is to thank The business traveler supports Water Snake Town; on the other hand, everyone can exchange valuable information 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 the open-air party in Water Snake Town. What does it have to do with the wolf shepherd girl Bertina?"

McGrady and Victor spoke almost simultaneously.

Dunn glanced at McGrady first, then turned to Victor and said, "I can answer these two questions together. You all know that the thieves union's informants betrayed your information. It's impossible that the mayor of Water Snake Town didn't listen. Talk about your affairs. He found me today and asked about your situation. I just said that you are all travelers in distress, and you just passed by Water Snake Town by car, and I don’t know anything else about it.”

"The mayor didn't make it difficult for me, but he wanted me to invite you to the party tomorrow so that everyone can get to know you."

Harvey shouted angrily: "We don't know them, why should they know us?"

The steward of the Iron Rhino Caravan will not neglect a "sixth-level venerable", he patiently explained: "The mayor of the town has the responsibility to maintain peace and eliminate bandits. The business road where Water Snake Town is located has always had bandit gangs. 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 of bandits."

"Six years ago, the Flying Scorpion Bandit Group first sent a large number of spies to sneak into Frost Sheep Town, and then invaded the town together, burned, killed, looted, and executed the mayor's family. There is a bloody example in Frost Sheep Town. Of course, the local mayor Will be very careful."

Harvey and McGrady looked at each other in dismay, and they understood it. Although there were people coming and going in Water Snake Town, the people coming and going were all business travelers familiar with the town. Occasionally, strangers, who were also armed caravans from the same company, came forward to vouch for them.Passengers like them who joined the caravan halfway, and the caravan was unwilling to guarantee, would be treated as bandits by the local mayor.

Victor frowned and continued to ask: "What does this have to do with Bertina?"

Dunn coughed and said: "Bertina is a lone bandit and doesn't belong to any known bandit group, but she may not have accomplices. The alliance requires all city-states to strictly track down the accomplices of the wolf shepherd bandits. The mayor of Water Snake Town threatened Me, if you are the accomplices of the wolf shepherd girl, I can't get rid of the relationship."

Harvey asked with a sullen 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 so that everyone can identify them. I didn't want to disturb you, but I don't want to offend the local mayor."

"What if we refuse to go to the appointment?" McGrady asked coldly.

"Go, or not go, the decision is yours, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just here to send a message."

Dunn shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, based on what I know about the local mayor, if you refuse his invitation, he will think that you have ghosts in your heart and will definitely take tough measures against you."

Harvey laughed back angrily, and said, "Hehe, if we refuse to attend the open-air party, the mayor dares to frame us as spies of bandits and accomplices of the wolf girl? Then send someone to arrest us?"

Dunn didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "Actually, the local mayor is pretty good. The residents of Water Snake Town support him. However, the mayor values ​​his position very much, and he doesn't allow Water Snake Town to make mistakes in his own hands." .”

Victor flicked his fingers and asked, "I want to ask, is the local mayor an official from Fallen Leaf City College?"

Dunn thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the mayor of Middleton is not an official from the academy. He could have a better future... As we all know, no academy trains valuable doctors, even if they It is discovered that students with medical talent will also be taken away by famous and wealthy families. Middleton has a rare medical talent. He was born in a wealthy family in the Green Forest City State. The banishment of a wealthy family."

"Christine is the wife of the mayor of Middleton. It is rumored that she was born in the famous Golden Wing family of the Bright City State. She was weak and sick since she was a child. Tsubasa's objection, because the gap between the two parties is too great, and Christine already has a fiancé."

"However, they eloped..."

"In order to appease the anger of the prestigious Golden Wing family, Middleton's wealthy family took the initiative to sever ties with him and no longer continue to train him to be promoted to a fourth-level physician. Middleton is still a third-level physician."

"Christine's relatives are trying to get the Middletons a job as mayor of Watersnake. There's only so much they can do."

"No one will continue to help the mayor of Middleton. If he loses the position of mayor, he loses everything."

"Mayor Middleton is humble and gentle, but he is also cautious."

The Angel Wings Famous Sect, referred to as the Golden Wing Famous Sect, is the head of the Sixteen Pillars Famous Sect, and occupies the central city-state of the Disa Alliance——Guangming City.

There is no doubt about the strength of the famous Golden Wing family. They have mastered a kind of secret career path called "Balance King Servant".

Victor heard from Rhodes, the head of the Iron Cross, that the "Balance King Servant" has the four specialties of strength, intelligence, agility, and physique, and is a very powerful professional, but the "Balance King Servant" needs someone from the famous Golden Wing family. Bloodline, that is, the unique career path that belongs to Angel Wings.

Victor is not interested in the third-level doctor Middleton, but he is very curious about the "Balance King Servant" of the famous Golden Wing family.He always felt familiar with the profession of "Balance King Servant", which specializes in four departments.

"The mayor's wife is the 'Balance King Attendant'?" He asked ponderingly.

Dunn's eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Victor has also heard of the 'Balance King' from the famous Golden Wing family?" Without needing Victor to answer, he shook his head and said, "Mrs. Christine is beautiful and elegant. Famous, but she should not be a professional."

Victor, who is friendly with wind elements, is curious by nature. Since the mayor's wife is not the "King of Balance", his interest is halved, and he said lightly: "Well, I know the mayor's invitation. I will consider whether to attend the appointment."

Dunn got up immediately, and said politely: "In that case, I will take my leave first. If Mr. Victor decides to attend 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 guard left Victor's rented house together.The two turned into a secluded alley, and Welch couldn't help asking in a low voice: "My lord, it seems that you intend to provoke Victor and the others on behalf of Mayor Middleton?"

It was a courtesy in itself for the mayor to invite them to the open-air party through Dunn, whom Victor knew.If Victor and his party don't know how to praise, then don't blame him for being rude.

Of course, what Middleton said would not be so direct, and there was no need to use Dunn to intimidate a few foreigners of unknown origin.On the contrary, he was tactful and courteous, and Welch couldn't have faulted him there.

Middleton obviously invited Victor and others to visit him.But why, what he expressed became an offensive threat after being relayed by Dunn?

Dunn was obviously suspected of sowing discord, which made Welch very confused.

"Do you know why Middleton is so polite to Victor and the others? Because Victor's appearance and temperament are like that of a famous nobleman... A troubled nobleman, Middleton neither wants to offend him, nor does he want to get into trouble. He Appoint me to invite Victor, so am I willing to cause trouble?" Dunn sneered, as a rich and powerful man who acts as a gunman, even though the mayor was very polite, he felt a pang 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 is also easy for Middleton to trip up the Iron Rhino caravan.Although Dunn was annoyed, he didn't want 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 a wealthy family like ours is actually in the most difficult situation." Dunn shook his head and said with emotion: "There are famous families above, and there are local forces below that need to be dealt with. Middleton talked to me politely , I have no reason to refuse his request."

Immediately, he raised the corner of his mouth again and said triumphantly: "I just deliberately mentioned that the wolf girl attacked the large caravan of the Golden Nightingale. Did you notice Victor's expression? He was a little surprised, and was particularly interested in the wolf girl. I figured it out at the time, Victor and the others should be the losers of the famous Golden Nightingale family, and they have been hiding in the wild for a long time. Otherwise, how could they not know that everyone has to stay away from the wolf shepherd Bertina, Don't you want to borrow her ability to take revenge on the famous Golden Nightingale family?"

Welch was taken aback, looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "We can't get involved in the infighting of Zhu Mingmen."

Dunn gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "Victor and the others ran to Fallen Leaf City, maybe there is a famous highland family willing to help him. The only one who can compete with the famous Golden Nightingale family is the famous Zhu family... Of course, we cannot fight against the famous Zhu family. Involved. I just want to know, Middleton fell into the vortex of famous infighting, can his beautiful wife still save him?"

"My lord, do you want to stay and watch the show?" Welch asked anxiously.

Dunn shook his head with a serious expression and said, "No. We're leaving Water Snake Town tonight... You go back and make arrangements, and warn those talkative guys, whoever dares to reveal Victor's news to outsiders, I'll kill him cut off his tongue!"
