Devil's Journey

Chapter 301
As the weather gradually warms up, a trading town named Falcon Town in the east of Augustus Land and south of the North Tyrell Mountains has gradually become lively. Businessmen with Augustus Land licenses They can transship their goods to this mountain town.

This town looks small, and even a little rough, but it looks like a gold-swallowing beast, no matter how much goods it can swallow, it is said that the owner of this town is the former prince of the Falcon Principality who fled to the mountains.

That prince, who is also the current Grand Duke Falcon, although no one has seen it outside, rumors say that he is organizing the survivors in the mountains to reclaim the mountain and recuperate, and the building of Falcon Town is to prepare for the restoration of the country.

In fact, the Grand Duke Falcon had already been defeated by the Destiny Cult, and even all his followers were annexed, and then it was a backdoor listing scam.

Joseph's current identity is the earl canonized by the Grand Duke of Falcon, and he is also the mayor of Falcon Town, and the magic alliance army under his command has also changed into the Falcon Restoration Army.

A group of Verrol people with the smell of copper all over their bodies pretending to be Falconers seems to be a little unfriendly, but fortunately, these magic alliance troops have been affected by demonization, and their temperament has become more fierce, and the difference in appearance is not too big , but it looks a bit like a Falcon.

In addition, from the tens of thousands of Falcon households annexed, many people who know current affairs were selected to join the Magic Alliance Army, which is enough to pretend to fool those merchants.

Falcon Town is not the end of this business route. The Falcon remnants who temporarily live in the North Tyrell Mountains, as well as the large and small tribes in the mountains are the next trade targets. In addition, the bulk of the business is in the south, but from For the merchants brought by Augustus, their trade route could only stop at Falcon Town.

Only a very small number of merchants approved by the Falcon Grand Council can continue to sell to other regions. However, in the bar of Falcon Town, merchants from different places are also communicating with each other, and they have preliminarily perfected the route of the entire trade route.

Go south through the rugged mountain road, and then cross the dangerous Tyrell Canyon. As long as you are not unlucky to be hit by wandering demons, you can enter the South Tyrell Mountains, and then walk to a wild monster tribe to establish town called Gold Tooth.

It is said that the owner of this Golden Tooth Town is an ogre named Boluo, but this ogre is said to be very trustworthy, never eating people indiscriminately, and he has joined forces with a troll, as long as he conducts trade obediently and pays tax, you will get his asylum.

Then go west from Gold Tooth Town along the mountain road to the town of Essinger, which is the territory of a human lord, known as Sir Howard, and from Gold Tooth Town to the south, you can go all the way along the Verrore Lake. River Valley Township.

It is rumored that River Valley Town was established by some of the survivors of Verroel, and it is said that it was protected by a powerful witch who lived in a place called Magic Moon Castle, and even demons and giant dragons were afraid of her.

However, it is not clear whether these rumors are true or not. After all, the news has been transferred several times. These merchants in Falcon Town can only reach Golden Tooth Town in the south, and their information is also learned through other merchants.

Obtaining a false title of earl, although Joseph occasionally misses the scenery when he was in Verrol, he was still the two leading figures of the younger generation in Verrol, and his family was even rich in Verrol. He didn't pay attention to an earl at all. Well, the other leader was Knight Henry who died in battle in the quiet forest, but he didn't even find his bones.

Although Joseph fought secretly with him for a while at that time, thinking about it now, I still feel a little sad and nostalgic.

After being sad for a while, Joseph restrained the sadness on his face, then subconsciously glanced left and right to confirm that there were no suspicious people peeping at him, and then he felt relieved.

If those bastards from the Investigation Bureau saw this, and then slandered him with remorse, dissatisfaction, and evil intentions, then he would die unjustly. Although this is in the mayor's mansion, everything is not in order.

"I, Joseph, am loyal to the Holy Lord and have no other ambitions." Joseph, with firm eyes, whispered several times, as if he was hypnotizing himself, and he seemed to be proving it to someone.

Alas, life is not easy for the Surrender Party.

But it's better to be wronged than to die. Joseph comforted himself again, thinking about Henry, there was no dead scum left. After rejoicing, Joseph put on his armor and prepared to go out on patrol.

Every morning and evening, he patrols around the town. He is as diligent as an old scalper. If the dandies he knew before know, he must be surprised. Is this still the Joseph he knew?
Everything is for living.

Today's weather is not bad. Although the fog in the sky is still there, there are still some not-so-bright sunshine.

People are coming and going at the gate of the town, carriages and people are constantly coming in and out of the gate. The soldiers guarding the gate wear a breastplate over their mail armor, hold a halberd, a one-handed sword and a falcon banner hanging from their waists. Hanging high above the town gate, it really looks like the Restoration Army of the Falcon Principality.

Joseph curled his lips secretly, his well-groomed beard trembled slightly, and suddenly said very deliberately: "This old bird is really ugly, it is far worse than the Holy Lord's cranial destiny banner."

The attendants following Joseph nodded in agreement when they heard the words, but because they were playing the role of the Falcon Restoration Army, everyone could only flatter in a low voice.

Outside a restaurant on the side of the road, at an open-air dining place, a man wearing merchant clothes and looking a bit scruffy couldn't help but sneered, cursed secretly for putting on a face, then took out a small notebook, and scratched out a few crooked characters , to the effect that the target is normal and the like.

"Are the mutton scones ready? Hurry up!" After finishing his work, the man picked up his beer glass and took a sip, urging his own breakfast somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hey, Ren, there is a new mission in the bureau." At this moment, another figure sat opposite the man.

"Huh? What task?" Ren asked listlessly.

"It's to explore the road to the north, and it should be another mountain road." Lord looked at Ren with a little sigh. He was such a sunny and simple boy before, but now he has become a lazy alcoholic and a salary thief.

Frowning, Ren was a little reluctant: "Then the task of monitoring Falcon Town?"

"There are new people to replace us, um, probably because Director Ron was a little dissatisfied with our overspending of field expenses last month." Lord said a little unhappy.

"Guest, do you need a refill for your mutton scones and beer? What would this guest like to eat?"

"No. Hey. Wait, forget it, give me a cup of rye beer, and half a roast grouse, with honey sauce."

"Overspending? Heh, who doesn't overspend on field trips? What about the director himself embezzling public funds and hiring several mistresses?" Ren picked up a piece of scone and muttered in a low voice full of righteous indignation.

"Ahem, stop, stop, stop, can you talk nonsense?" Lord quickly stopped Ren's complaints. It's fatal to arrange the boss like this. Although they are all true, can the truth be said nonsense?

Ren pulled the corner of his mouth and snorted, then biting a scone and staring blankly at the flow of people on the road, Lord sighed and said, "Then tonight's Gray Fox Bar...won't we go?"

"Go, why don't you go, first spend all the field funds on hand before leaving." Ren swallowed the scones, took another sip of beer, and said viciously.
