Great Nobleman

"The nearest opening day of the nearby black market is tomorrow, and I have already found out the specific location.

Today I will take you to find a place to settle down, and we will start operations tomorrow morning. "

After the strength testing session was over, Howard led Brand and others out of the Judiciary's stronghold in a low mood, and then went to a nearby hotel.

After leading a few people into the hotel, Howard introduced:

"This is a property under the Judicial Division. In addition to daily operations, it is also a place where we place visitors secretly. If you have any needs, you can also tell the boss. He is one of us."

After taking everyone to check in, Howard said goodbye:

"You can act on your own today. You can take a look at the mission information I gave you, and you can also stroll around the city. I will come here to meet you tomorrow morning."

After waving to everyone, Howard left their sight all the way.

After that, Brand asked Finn and the others:

"I'm going to take a stroll in the city, do you want to go together?"

After thinking for a moment, Finn said:

"Just in case, I'm going to make some preparations for the next mission. Essam and Rabio will be with me, so you better go shopping by yourself, boss!"

Seeing that Finn never forgets to call him the boss when there are no outsiders.

Brand couldn't help but secretly admire Finn's professionalism.

Then he smiled and said:

"Then Catherine and I will go first."

After bidding farewell to everyone, Brand took Catherine for a walk on the streets of Loy City.

He enjoyed the scenery along the way, and occasionally smiled back with the passing lady who cast his gaze at him.

Compared to the imperial capital at the center of the empire, Loy City can only be regarded as a small remote place.

Holland Territory also has a city similar in size to Roy City.

Although these cities are not as prosperous as the big cities.

But because of the prevalence and development of magic, everything is in order.

A few years ago, when he did not join the Imperial Academy of Masters, Brand considered leaving Howland Castle to be independent, and he bought a manor in such a similar city.

Compared with those big cities, the price of this kind of small city is cheaper, and various facilities and materials are relatively complete. It is a good place to enjoy life.

When he is free, he can also try to develop some simple industries to see if he can improve his luxury level.

Unfortunately, however:

Because of opening up the war, because I embarked on the path of a mage, and because the funds in my hands have become abundant, everything before has to be re-planned.

Compared to finding a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in a corner.

Brand now prefers to have a large site, and then freely design it according to his own ideas.

Walking along the way, Brand's eyes suddenly fell on a tailor shop by the roadside and the decoration on the corner of the lintel.

——There is a flying white iris emblem printed there.

——The style of this emblem was designed by him, which means that this is the stronghold of Chris's intelligence organization.

After a few glances, Brand withdrew his gaze.

So far, the intelligence organization under Chris has established a huge intelligence network in the southern part of the empire, and most of the cities have their strongholds.

The city of Loy is also of course in this list.

Because there is nothing that requires the help of the intelligence personnel, Brand does not intend to disturb their work, and he can come to see it later when he needs it.

Continuing forward, a clear river runs across the front, and both sides of the river are banks of uniform stone railings.

Just when Brand was about to find a place to sit down and rest.

In perception, someone approached his position directly.

After Brand looked in the direction of perception.

I saw an elegant red-haired lady wearing an exotic crimson silk luxurious dress and a tulle top hat of the same color walking towards him.

Seeing this, Brand smiled and showed a questioning look.

Perhaps because of Brand's smile, the lady's expression was unconsciously dazed for a moment.

Then, she smiled and said:

"Hi sir, I'm Hisalie Carlson, from the Kingdom of Beleriand. I'm very glad to meet such an elegant gentleman like you in such a small city."

gentleman?

Brand rarely heard such adjectives describing him.

After all, his appearance is still a bit too young.

After flashing such a thought in his mind, Brand responded with a smile:

"I'm Brand Holland, a native of the Kaya Empire, and I just visited this border town today.

My heart is also full of surprises to meet such a beautiful lady from a foreign land like Ms. Carlson here. "

Hearing Brand's response, Hisaly couldn't help but blushed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, she couldn't wait to send out the invitation:

"Just call me Hisalie, Mr. Holland, I've been here for a while, do you want me to show you around the city?"

After thinking for a moment, Brand responded with a smile:

"Looks like today is my lucky day to be with such a beautiful lady.

In addition, I, Brand, will do. "

Talking and laughing all the way for a walk.

Hisalley also asked about Brand's identity.

Because there is nothing to hide, Brand said bluntly:

"I am the second son of the Holland family of the Kaya Empire, and I am traveling around the empire recently."

After explaining this way, Brand was a little curious again:

"I don't know why Ms. Hisaly traveled through mountains and rivers, from the Kingdom of Beleriand in the middle of the Human Alliance to the Kaya Empire on the border?"

Knowing that Brand came from an aristocratic family, he nodded clearly after guessing.

To Brand's question, Hisaly also responded with a smile:

"Although the Kaya Empire is located in a remote place, after the news of the pioneering war spread, it seems to have become the focus country of the Human Alliance.

In the central area of ​​the Human Alliance, countless profit-seeking businessmen came here one after another to seize the opportunity.

I also failed to withstand the temptation, so I brought my subordinates over to take a look. "

Hearing this, Brand was a little curious:

"Is Miss Hisalley a businessman?"

Hisaly shook her head and said:

"Although the people under my command occasionally engage in commercial activities, it is more appropriate to call us an adventure group."

After saying this, Hisaly further introduced her identity:

"I am the leader of the Blood Blade Adventure Group, and I am currently leading the members of the adventure group to search for the treasure of the ruins near here."

Hearing that this lady is the leader of the adventure group from the central region of the Human Alliance, Brand couldn't help being a little curious about her adventures.

In order to satisfy Brand's curiosity, Hisaly narrated the wonderful process of exploring the treasures of the relics one after another.

Hearing the various adventures of Hisaly, Brand couldn't help admiring.

Touring and talking all the way, the sun gradually walked to the atrium.

Thisalie invites Brand to her place for lunch.

However, Brand declined the woman's invitation and said that there are still friends waiting for him.

After the two exchanged their respective hotels and parted ways.

Catherine, who had been by Brand's side all the time, reminded:

"Master, from this lady, I feel a sense of threat similar to that of Master Yersin. I think she should be a senior knight."

Hearing this, Brand smiled and said:

"This is actually not surprising. After all, she is from a country in the middle of the Human Alliance. She brought people from such a far away place, and she is not strong enough."

After returning to the hotel and eating the lunch prepared by Catherine, Brand didn't go out again.

After all, most of the beautiful scenery in Loy City has already been seen.

But what surprised him a little.

In the afternoon, Hisaly took the initiative to find him, and also brought a person who had a relationship with him at Furnace Volcano in the north.

-Williams Cockburn, non-heir direct descendant of the Cockburn family.

Before Brand was surprised.

Williams took the lead and introduced himself with a smile:

"Hello, Mr. Bland, it has been more than two months since we left the northern border. Williams Lucian sends you my most sincere greetings!"
