Chapter 55 Dangerous Mission of Delivering Letters
"13 Rusty Water Street..."
The wandering child looked down at the letter of introduction in his hand, and confirmed the location again: "It is indeed here."
"...Gerald Dental Clinic?"
The delicious wind goose frowned slightly, and his face was a little ugly: "To be honest, I don't really want to enter this kind of place... It will remind me of some bad memories..."
"Come in, uncle, it's alright."
Lin Yiyi on the side persuaded: "How about I go up with the child and you stay at the door?"
"...Also, anyway, my body type is easy to be vigilant."
The delicious wind goose said in a deep voice.
This tall man with brown curly hair and strong muscles looked at the word "dentist" with obvious fear in his heart.
"I'll stay downstairs and give you a look."
The card game anchor who looks extraordinarily strong and good at fighting, quickly added: "After you go in, always pay attention to the forum and open the private post of the three of us. If I encounter an enemy here and knock it down , I will send 11111, you must know what you have in mind; if you encounter an enemy who cannot be defeated and need your support, I will send 22222, and you should hurry down to support. If I send 3333, don't hesitate to jump out of the window to escape or escape from the Run on the trail or something, but don't go back the same way from here. Remember?"
"Understood, uncle."
Lin Yiyi nodded and answered formally and earnestly.
The wandering child also nodded cautiously: "I will protect Agang... You are also careful."
"It's not Abang, it's one by one..."
Three of their most adept players reunited in Roseburg.
The task that Annan handed them to them at the beginning—that is, the task of successfully infiltrating Rosberg, has already been easily accomplished.
But to be honest, this task is not really easy. If you let those players who are not smart enough to come over, it is easy to reveal the truth.
Because it is completely different from Frozen Water Port... Roseburg is a serious fortress city. Not only is there a thick city wall, but there are also watchtowers, black giant crossbows mounted on the edge of the city walls, and a towering arrow tower with a strange shape.
Moreover, there is even an army stationed here!
This also successfully answered the questions in the players' minds before - why is there no garrison in the frozen water port as a border city?
Now they know.
It's not that the Frozen Water Port has no troops, but that the entire North Sea Territory's border troops are stationed in Fort Rose... and the Frozen Water Port is completely exposed and outside the scope of protection.
In other words, Frozen Water Port is just a "step-son".
Players also found some news in Roseburg... At least a hundred years ago, Frozen Water Harbor was still the land of the Duchy of Winter.
Even now... Archduke Winter has not issued a document to formally cede this land, just pretending to be invisible. In the previous war, Noah Kingdom, which occupied the frozen water port, did not return it for nothing. In this way, the two countries have acquiesced in the wonderful existence of the frozen water port.
Players also got a piece of information that they didn't quite understand:
The war between these two countries subsided, not because they reached a balance of interests...
It was because of the "Boundary Shrinkage" that occurred in the Principality of Winter.
Players learned that outside the territory of every country in this world, there is a huge, invisible enchantment that hinders a substantive curse called "grey fog" in the folk.
A long time ago, the boundaries of Noah Kingdom and Winter Duchy overlapped each other. This had a rather detrimental effect on the enchantments of both countries - but the center of the enchantment could not be changed, and the enchantment itself was roughly hemispherical. Once actively shrink the enchantment.
It means permanent loss of a lot of land.
Therefore, neither side of the two countries is willing to back down, and each side hopes that the other side can back down. The Frozen Water Port was once the bridgehead of the Principality of Winter.
The war between the two countries ended forty-eight years ago.
1455 to be exact.
The reason for the end of the war is that there was an unknown problem in the enchantment of the Principality of Winter, and a small area of collapse occurred. In order to repair the enchantment, the Duchy of Winter was forced to reduce its territory, abandoning the frozen water port in the southeast, most of the Black Sea, and several small cities in the southwest. Expose them outside the enchantment.
Frozen water ports are more fortunate.
Because it itself is within the protection range of the two enchantments. After the Principality of Winter took the initiative to retreat, it naturally fell into the territory of Noah Kingdom.
In other words, it is to find an honest person to take over.
And those cities in the southeast are more miserable. Because the southeastern part of the Duchy of Winter does not directly border any country.
Of course, residents are not stupid. Either they pack up their belongings, move northwards back to the interior of the enchantment, and buy new family property. Or cross the ocean to the United Kingdom to the south of the Duchy of Winter. The United Kingdom also opened immigration channels for the first time, and even sent several boats to pick up people.
After a few months, the cities in the southeast of the Principality of Winter were no longer inhabited and turned into silent dead cities.
The frozen water port on the other side has become more prosperous.
After the Principality and the Kingdom no longer had the issue of border friction, the relationship between the two countries improved rapidly.
The Kingdom of Noah directly dispatched troops and immigrants to the Frozen Water Port, opened several commercial routes to the inland, and directly demolished the defense facilities and city walls originally built by the Principality of Winter, leaving only the former military port—— After all, the blade of this dagger is inward rather than outward.
At the same time, the link between the principality and the frozen water port has not been severed. The Principality of Winter didn't seem to care that the frozen water port fell into the kingdom's territory, but continued to transport goods continuously, and then sold it to the Noah Kingdom through the frozen water port as a transit point.
In this way, Frozen Water Harbor has fallen into a very delicate situation. Because of the trade support of the Principality of Winter, its economy took off and developed rapidly and became a quite prosperous port city. But in the eyes of many people on the kingdom's side, falling into the frozen water port of the kingdom is as disturbing as a girlfriend who suddenly came to her door, but still keeps in touch with her ex-boyfriend in a long-distance relationship... …
Perhaps as early as that time, there was already a conflict between Frozen Water Harbor and Roseburg. But in any case, this could not have appeared after "Don Juan Geraint" came to the North Sea Territory.
Players must save themselves first, so under their conservative investigation, two days have passed and they have not found a reason why the Viscount might be an enemy of Don Juan. Even the vast majority of Roseburg citizens don't know that their new lord has arrived at the Frozen Water Harbor...
This big boy, referred to by the players as "Child" or "Little Broken", may be because of a harmless baby face, or because he is very lucky, and accidentally received a copy from the ghetto. A task that made him suddenly vigilant.
—Delivering a letter to a "reclusive heathen".
Through the sunlight and the black paper tube, the child could vaguely see that the letter was from Mr. Justin Kerney.
It can be known from the information disclosed by the players on the forum... This person is the butler of the Viscount Roseburg.
