Players' NPC boss

Herbie spoke openly, so Blazer naturally didn't need to beat around the bush, but he didn't expect that the window was a bit too wide.

"Azazel, a killer group composed of foreigners, has set its sights on her."

Herbie leaned on the wheel of the carriage, which was taller than her, and tapped the carriage with her slender fingers. Across the curtain, the figure wearing a lady's hat stood straight, unmoved by what was happening outside.

"We are still investigating who hired Azazel, but we know their purpose."

Herbie's expression was like a cobra whose tail was stepped on, hissing in a low voice and standing up to spray venom.

"The appearance quota of the Epidaurus Theater."

"Really?" Blazer's reaction was rather flat, and he even didn't quite understand it, but after Herbie explained, he understood.

The Epidaurus Theater is one of the highest performance stages, and tickets are scrambled for, and the opportunity to perform on stage is naturally scrambled for. If it is simply better than the artistic level, but the scale is as huge as the Epidaurus Theater, then there are countless forces fighting openly and secretly behind it.

Some of them even killed their competitors directly.

"We [Hermes's Traveling Hat] invested a lot of money in the Epidaurus Theater, so we naturally have a quota to play. Of course, we also pay attention to hiding their identities before the Epidaurus Theater opens."

"In the end, I don't know why, the quota was leaked. I understand." Blaze crossed his arms and nodded.

He also understood the reason for not hiring strangers. There is a very mature communication method between strangers. And the killer group named [Azazel] is one of the largest group guilds among strangers, with many eyes and ears.

If someone really hired [Azazel], as long as a little news is leaked, the pursuit will follow.

"Also, what I just said is not all lies. My position in [Hermes's Traveling Hat] is indeed unstable recently." Herbie folded his arms and sighed, imitating Blaze.

"I spent too much money to kick other opponents off the stage, but the funds were not able to turn around. Other senior partners became bounty hunters or adventurers to make money to maintain the daily expenses of [Hermes's Traveling Hat], while I can only drink flower tea and buy clothes."

"Then you are not asking for it now."

"Ahaha... That's right, the blessed ones who are not strangers are too expensive to hire." Herbie scratched the back of his head and laughed, but when he found that Blaze was not flattering at all, he lowered his head honestly.

"I understand, I will help escort you, but my strength is limited and I can't guarantee that I can escort you safely to the Epidaurus Theater."

The first murderer stranger BIG old man he defeated was a member of [Azazel], a LV85 blessed. The first time he won was because the opponent was careless and was hit by him, triggering [Fatal Execution]. The second time he won was because the opponent's attributes were halved after he was resurrected, and the armor on his body was gone.

If it was a serious 1-on-1 fight, or even a sneak attack, he would be killed instantly. Although I feel sorry to say this, if it really comes to that, he can only prioritize self-protection.

"No, our destination is Balkan City."

"That's the opposite direction."

"That's right, because Audrey..." Herbie smiled bitterly, "has given up performing at the Epidaurus Theater. I want to send her to a place protected by the Royal Knights."

"Really? What a pity." Blazer looked at the woman behind the curtain. The Epidaurus Theater is known as the highest art stage. This person once made countless efforts to sing there, but now she has given up on her own initiative.

"And... targeting Balkan City just happens to fulfill your wish, doesn't it?"

Herbie suddenly came over and returned to his previous dark and smiling appearance.

Blaze's expression tightened, and he almost thought that Hebi saw through his identity.

"You have the profession of a greatsword user, but you didn't use the rumored twisted greatsword just now, but picked up a soldier's long sword that was not suitable for your hand... You need a new greatsword or find someone to repair your weapon."

It should be said that he is worthy of being a senior partner of [Hermes's Travel Hat], and he can see the needs of the partner at a glance.

"The nearest weapon store here is in Balkan City, and you can't enter Balkan City in your condition, let alone trade with those old stubborn people in the weapon store. But if I arrange it, these are not a problem."

"In my opinion, you are just bragging about yourself. As long as there is a benefit, you will secretly transport dangerous people into the city."

Blaze sighed helplessly, agreeing to accept the escort commission proposed by Hebi. He felt that he was calculated by the other party.

In the interval of the transaction, the guard repaired the tires of the carriage transporting goods and moved the scattered goods back to the carriage. The goods that had been damaged in the goblin attack were thrown on the spot. During this process, Blaze took a look at the goods.

Most of them were handicrafts, only worth collecting.

"The goblin reconnaissance troops usually have more than one, let's get on the road as soon as possible." Hebi and the captain of the guard said a few words and then sat back in the carriage. When Blaze opened the door, he looked inside. The beautiful singer had been sitting upright, like a doll.

The captain of the guard had no objection to handing over the command to Blaze, and was even relieved. He vaguely realized that this job was not easy, but the reward was very generous, so he deliberately did not think about it.

The caravan began to move again, and because a lot of goods were lost, the speed was much faster.

Blaze walked beside the carriage, and his current foot strength could easily keep up with the speed of the carriage. Hebi opened the curtain of the carriage, put his arm on the window frame, and talked to Blaze leisurely.

"Everyone says you are a lost knight, so where is your hometown?"

"Can you eat in this armor?"

"How did you remove the curse? Did someone splash you with the holy water of the saint?"

"What are your plans after that? Have you considered long-term cooperation with me? I can send you to any place."

Perhaps knowing that Blaze knew what kind of person she was, Hebi did not hide his thoughts at all, digging for intelligence, testing, and recruiting, and did not fall behind.

Unfortunately, Blaze also wanted to know most of Herbie's questions, so he remained silent, but in Herbie's eyes, this reflected that Blaze had no interest in her recruitment.

"I say, don't you have anything you want?"

"Elf."

"Ahem! We are serious businessmen, not slave traders."
