For Rhodes, Grosseau Plains is burned with a fire, then his quest is completed. So after witnessing the golden wheat fields covered in flames and smoke, Rhodes turned around and patted the **** and left, for him, this matter is so far, and he never has Any relationship.
But for Reformist, their nightmare has just begun.
The duration of River of Sulfur is not very long, but only less than half an hour, but the range it covers is almost all over the entire Grosseau Plains farmland, which also directly causes the burning fire to dry. With the help of the autumn wind, it became more and more prosperous, and even within the next 3-4 days, the entire Grosseau area was completely enveloped by thick black smoke.The wildfire not only burned everything on the Grosseau Plains, but also spread to the surrounding mountain forest. go with. For a time, the spreading fire caused Reformist to burn its head. Although they spent a lot of money and invited several Mages to extinguish the flames, it was fruitless.In the end, after the fire burned for a full 15 days, This was completely extinguished under a late autumn rainstorm.

But for Reformist, they are crying without tears.
During these fifteen days, not only the food stored in the Grosseau area was completely burned, but even the surrounding areas were also devastated by pond fish, including the people who had fled because of the threat of Necromancer. It can be said that the fire has burned everything they have, and now these refugees are gathered in big cities, desperately living without a future. These problems alone are enough to make Reformist a headache. But this is just the beginning.After investigation, Reformist also learned that an extremely desperate bad news may be due to the constant burning, the soil of Grosseau Plains has become dry and barren, that is to say, even if the fire is extinguished, The only grain producing area in the south has also been completely abolished. They can no longer obtain fertile grain from here. This also means that the south will face a crisis of food shortage after half a year. Latest novel ""
As the saying goes, disaster is not alone. If Reformist thinks that their suffering is only these, then they are still too naive.
Just as the situation of Reformist for Grosseau Plains was scorched, there were rumors that made them feel more frightened and panicked, most of them accused Reformist of the measures corresponding to Necromancer before, and the reinforcements encountered when they went to Grosseau Plains It's no secret that Undead Legion's sudden attack and complete defeat. And many people have already learned the truth. In front of that terrible Necromancer, the Reformist army was completely defeated even if it did not persist for a moment. If it is not the last time that a Battle Angel Dash on Bravely with No Thought of Personal Safety comes to the end with the other party, I am afraid that now the South Everywhere has long been reduced to undead raging land.
from the beginning Reformist also took measures to prohibit the surviving soldier from talking everywhere, but the ingredients of this legion are already very complicated, and after this attack, many people were particularly dissatisfied with the act of Reformist deliberately letting him die. Therefore, although Reformist issued a ban everywhere, the people in the surrounding areas still learned the truth of the whole matter in the shortest time. If it is just what 1-2 people said, then it may be false deception, but many people say it differently, not to mention the silver beam that broke out when Celia self destruction is so dazzling, everyone sees it in their eyes Combined with this evil, as long as it is not idiot, it can understand the truth of the matter.
…,
In addition to the Grosseau fire incident after this, a Reformist already worried about the signs finally appeared.
That's when the public began to question the status and power of Reformist.
When the Reformist announced that the South had left the Moon Dukedom ** at the beginning, the people reacted differently, but most of them did not have fierce opposition.As a result, they lacked a good impression of Royal Family under the Reformist's years of publicity. However, Reformist also assured the people that they would give them a better future, and with the support of Kingdom of Light's, they will grow into a prosperous, prosperous, free and peaceful country. Since their own interests have not been threatened by the war for the time being, and the long-time aversion to Royal Family has made most people choose silent support, if things are really as beautiful as Reformist portrays, then they naturally do not object. But what if things are not as good as they describe?
This is the end.
For the Grosseau refugees, what they hate most is that when Reformist raged in their hometown in Necromancer, originally should protect their Reformist but did not send troops to help them fight against undead, but let them leave their homes. This makes these people extremely dissatisfied. Although Reformist also said that they were understaffed because of frontline fighting, but the other party is undead. You have time to kill each other, but you do n’t have time to fight undead? What kind of truth is this? Is actually a Battle Angel people Royal Family can put down their grudges to help us, why can't you do it?
Of course, in the face of these doubts, it is not without Reformist members calling on the public to see the Royal Family ’s plan. This is their intention. Together with undead, we should take action against us. We should calm down and believe that Reformist has to It is said that although the words of these councillors have become infinitely true, but for the Grosseau refugees who have lost their loved ones, property, houses, fields, everything, and have nothing, these are undoubtedly nonsense. What's more, in their opinion, Reformist's speech is untenable, although Royal Family has many problems, but no one has ever heard that Royal Family will actually be associated with undead creature. Now Reformist said so suddenly, which made those refugees think they were shirk their responsibilities.
Of course, these direct victims are just a small part of it. Reformist does n’t need to be bothered at all. They just call it louder, but there are so many people. Since they do n’t want to listen, do n’t take care of them. However, those indirect victims are not the objects that Reformist can ignore.
Just after the Grosseau Plains fire, the price of surrounding grains suddenly increased several times. Not only that, but many merchants even started to hoard grain and no longer buy or sell. This made the people in the surrounding areas complain, and with the increase in food prices, the price of food, including bread, also began to rise all the way.originally can buy one bread with three silver coins, but now the price has risen to two gold coins, even As such, the amount of bread sold each day is still limited.
This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding people, and their complaints gradually increased. After all, they have not seen the benefits of Royal Family so far, but they have felt the disadvantages personally. The threat of undead creature, the yin clouds of war, continuous fires, rising food prices, and those filthy, refugees who have brought a lot of trouble to urban security.
People are a very real creature, politicians can choose to look at things from a long-term perspective, but more people are concerned about things around them, they long for a safe, peaceful, stable and prosperous surroundings. This is the most important thing, not the so-called self-confidence of the hell, the glorious damn thing ...... who ca n’t eat enough to talk to you about ideals ...,
If the Reformist refugees of Grosseau can choose to ignore them, then they will have to take measures in response to the complaints of the increasing citizens. But in fact, this matter is also full of disputes within Reformist. After all, most of the Southern Reformists are now merchants and some Nobles that are hostile to Royal Family. Nobles expects businessmen to come up with hoarded food to improve the situation at hand. But merchants is not willing to do this. Their reason is very simple. These grains are their private property and cannot be taken out to help the people. This should be the job of Southern Parliament, not their obligation. If Southern Parliament wants them to pay for food, they must buy at the current market price. If only those people are forced to dedicate our private property, what is the difference between the brutal group of Southern Parliament and the northern Royal Family?
As soon as this remark came out, Haoxuan did n’t kill those Noble, and there were even rumors that in Parliament, those parliamentarians also rolled up their sleeves and fought under the general public, making a big conference hall and street gangsters. There is no difference in the place of fighting. In the end, Parliament reluctantly reached a consensus after clamoring to roll up his sleeves and fought, and Southern Parliament will fund a part of the food from the merchants, then they will also seek assistance from Kingdom of Light, and Southern Parliament also made a decision to open Small grain silos in several other areas transport grain to Grosseau to stabilize the situation at hand. Although this way, the entire South will no longer have any food reserves, but for them, all they can do right now.
For the Necromancer problem, Reformist made a violent punishment, and the Michel old general was helplessly imprisoned by them as a scapegoat.At the same time, he was still accused by Southern Parliament and did not do his duty to protect the people. Moreover, it must also bear the responsibility of losing Grosseau Stronghold.In the end, it took only one morning.After expressing his opinion, Reformist made a judgment in court and put General Michel into the dungeon for misconduct and unfavorable command. Imprisoned. This is also their only one decision on Necromancer.
Although the refugees are very dissatisfied with this, what can they do? After Reformist detained General Michel, it is clear that they do not intend to continue to entangle on this topic. Those refugees can only do so after the protest is invalid. Helplessly swallowed this breath.
However, whether this group of refugees who have lost their homes and loved ones, but who have not received any substantial compensation, can really bear this breath is still not at all right.
Although all the tossing Reformist chicken flying dogs that happened in Grosseau Plains, Rhodes did not care at all. At this moment, he is heading to his next target location, which is Feyate where the last lifeline of Reformist is.
However, unlike Grosseau, Rhodes was hesitant before going to Feyate.
Different from Grosseau, Feyate is a mountain town as a place of ore. Although it is not as good as Deep Rock City, as a place of ore, Feyate is also a relatively closed place. Moreover, the closure of the mine is far more difficult than arson on the plain, which means that Rhodes can no longer be hidden in mountain forest as before. Not to mention that the largest mine in Feyate is controlled by two large families here. Rhodes wants to pass there without disturbing them. It is simply a fantasy.
However, Rhodes can't just walk in like that. …,
The reason is very simple. Perhaps in the Grosseau area, Rhodes will not take off his mask and few people will know him, but in Feyate, Rhodes can be sure that as long as he walks on the street, then at least seven out of ten people will recognize him. Come out of him.
The reason is simple.
Feyate is the birthplace of Mercenary Guild and the birthplace of Old Lawson.
Rhodes has never doubted that his performance on the Midsummer Festival will definitely make him fall into "coldness" or "hostility" at Feyate prestige. If he just walked up like this, then I am afraid that he must kill Only when the blood flows into the river can the corpses be used to achieve their goals.
If you change it, Rhodes is absolutely welcome. After using this affiliated card, his experience has almost completely fallen back to the level at the beginning of the 40th grade, and even the decimal point behind the experience value is a series of zeros that can be a headache. Rhodes has no doubt that if you use it again or if you use it, you will definitely fall directly below the 40th level ......... that is definitely not a good thing for him.
Unfortunately, considering how Feyate can be said to be a territory of Moon Dukedom, Rhodes is also not good. If Feyate and Land of Redemption belong to his own territory, he really does n’t mind taking the idiot to farming experience value, now ... Rhodes has to find a new way by himself.
But Rhodes is not without a solution. In fact, when he left Grosseau Plains, Rhodes was already full of confidence in the next plan.
"Mother Goose Flagon" is a tavern located in the surrounding area of Southern Harbor. On the surface, it is no different from those of ordinary taverns. A small 2-Layer building is alone in the arms of the woods and serves as a transfer station Those passing by. It's just that there has been some desertion here recently, perhaps because of the recent chaos in the south, or because of the battle between Reformist and Royalist. Not too many travelers come here. In fact, when Rhodes pushed open the door of the tavern, he looked around and saw only a middle-aged man lying on the counter. He looked with squinting eyes, enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun leisurely, except for him Besides, the whole tavern was empty and there was no half figure. The tables in the tavern were clean and spotless. Rhodes didn't care about this, he just pulled the cloak, covering his face in the shadow of yīn, and then strode to the bar in stride, reached out and knocked on the table, three short and one long.
"Un?"
I heard the sound of knocking on the table, and the man who seemed to be enjoying a nap was only eyes opened, looked up at Rhodes.
"Ah, welcome, guest. What do you want to use may I ask?"
Facing the other party ’s inquiry, Rhodes did n’t answer, but once again extended his right index finger and tapped lightly on the table four times, still three short and one long. The man tilted eyes slightly, glanced at Rhodes' hand's fingers, and then raised his head again. It was still the half-sleeping expression that didn't seem to have tasted back from the dream.
"Ah, welcome, guest. may I ask, what do you want?"
Next, he again asked. Hearing his inquiry, Rhodes lowered his head slightly. He looked around for a while, then took out a money bag from his arms and put it on the table, then opened the money bag, and soon, under the sunshine, Nin Jincancan's brilliance came out.
"I want someone."
Next, Rhodes started talking. …,
This time, the man finally responded. He glanced at Rhodes, then stretched out his hand to take the bag of coins, and quickly received it in his arms. Then he lowered his head and did not look at Rhodes' ’s face, and Looking at the table in front of him, he then took out a piece of parchment paper and a quill from the counter below. Then pushed it in front of Rhodes', Rhodes didn't ask or ask anything politely, but picked up the pen and swept a circle on it, then quickly circled a few circles. Then he reached out and pushed the parchment back again.
Few people know that "Mother Goose Flagon" is more than just a pub. Even among player, there are very few who know the secret here. It belongs to a mysterious organization "Bal Masqué." This organization has always been mysterious in the history of the game. Although they are not as bad as "Dark Brotherhood", they are not like Thieves Guild. On the contrary, the scope of activities of "Bal Masqué" has always been It is in that field. Forgery of bills, identity, help people get rid of some tricky and troublesome things, or contact those evil forces that are not easily reachable in the ordinary, as long as you pay enough, they will even put the dark jīng spirit far underground get in touch.
No one knows the true composition of the "Bal Masqué" organization, but from the fact that they can connect so many forces, it can be seen that this organization is not simple at all. But because it seldom does things that are extremely vicious, for player, this organization is more like an nPC force that is very useful to itself. Rhodes was too bored in the game to track down the details about Bal Masqué for a while, but because it was too difficult, he finally chose to give up.
Of course, Rhodes came here this time, but not to continue his unfinished business in the game.
He has another picture ...),
