Victor wants to know about Bertina, but the issue about the wolf-shepherd girl is very sensitive. Given Dunn's background and status, he has more or less inside information that is inconvenient to be made public.
Bertina is mysterious. No one knows her origins. She seems to be a character who suddenly appears, specifically against the famous nobles of the Disa Alliance. Of course, if she had not repeatedly challenged the rules set by the noble families in the highlands and caused heavy losses to the nobles, the reputation of the wolf-herding female bandit Bertina would not be so famous.
Current intelligence shows that Bertina should be a rare level 7 animal trainer, accompanied by a level 4 ferocious white wolf and a level 5 dragon-veined monitor lizard. The ferocious white wolf can avoid danger with its keen wild intuition, making Bertina basically invincible. And her dragon-veined monitor lizard is also quite powerful, having driven away fifth-level shadow lurkers.
In addition to these two war pets, Bertina once summoned a pack of forest wolves and a pack of wild boars to brazenly attack a large armed caravan and completely defeat her opponent.
It is the secret blood ability of the seventh-level beast tamer that triggers the beast tide. Therefore, the Disa Alliance determined that Bertina is the only seventh-level animal trainer today.
Master animal trainers above level seven are also called "animal herders".
This is where the title of the wolf shepherd girl Bertina comes from, which is more popular than her self-proclaimed "Queen of Miracles".
The beautiful girl was walking as a wolf herder. She waved her hand gently, and the beasts behind her rushed towards the fully-armed half-elf warrior like a raging wave. Beasts roar, warriors shout, claws and fangs tear through solid armor, spears and crossbows pierce thick fur, blood is flowing, and life is withering...
Can a brutal battle be so dreamy?
The half-elves are secretly excited just thinking about the scene of the beasts rushing into battle.
After the news spread, the shepherd girl gained a group of young admirers. The wealthy and famous families in various city-states were also talking about Bertina, and expressed gloating about the attacked armed caravan and the caravan owner.
You know, a large armed caravan has at least 300 guards, which is equivalent to a small army. Only powerful families are qualified to form large-scale armed caravans. Its trade volume is so huge that it makes people jealous, and its force of force is eye-catching.
Large armed caravans are the private armies of powerful families. They began to transfer goods from a certain place, and other small and medium-sized caravans could only drool next to them, waiting for the large caravans to eat and drink, and then pick up some leftovers, but most of this business would lose money.
The Iron Rhino caravan was often bullied by the big caravans. The wolf girl destroyed a large armed caravan in Rapid City. Dunn was surprised and couldn't help but drink a few more drinks to "celebrate".
It is worth mentioning that the large caravan that was attacked belonged to the famous Golden Nightingale family in Rapid City. The Golden Nightingale has experienced civil strife in recent years. The upper echelons of the alliance speculated that the attack on the large caravan by the wolf-shepherd girl was the aftermath of Golden Nightingale's civil strife. In this regard, everyone chose to sit back and watch the jokes made by the new patriarch Jin Nightingale. It wasn't until Bertina bloodbathed Luoye City that the various sects realized that she had nothing to do with the Golden Nightingale sect and was not an Avenger at all.
Bertina, a wolf-herding girl, ran to Highland City and slaughtered famous nobles without restraint. She has completely become the number one gangster in the Disa Alliance, and all half-elves related to her will be liquidated!
On this point, the opinions of the sixteen famous families are rarely unanimous.
At the beginning, rich and famous families were very curious about the Wolf Shepherd Girl, and some wanted to use her, bribe her, or even recruit her. Now, no force in the alliance dares to have such petty thoughts.
Victor pressed for news about the wolf-herding girl, but Dunn was unwilling to talk to him. He muttered: "The wolf-herding girl is a mysterious figure. I don't know much about her. I only know that she was between two The armed caravan attacked more than years ago belonged to the famous Golden Nightingale family in Rapid City..."
While talking, Dunn observed Victor's expression. When he saw the other person frowning slightly and showing a thoughtful expression, he changed the topic and said: "The few people we are visiting this time are actually related to the Wolf Shepherd Girl... from Water Snake Town. The mayor will hold an open-air party tomorrow evening and has entrusted me to invite Mr. Harvey, Mr. Victor, Mr. Maddie, and the two ladies to attend the party tomorrow."
"Oh, this is also the tradition of Water Snake Town. The mayor of the town and the branch president of the local adventure union came forward to invite the stewards of each caravan, the leaders of each adventure group, and distinguished people to attend the open-air party. On the one hand, it was to express gratitude. The business travelers support Water Snake Town; on the other hand, everyone can exchange valuable intelligence with each other." Dunn further explained.
"What does the party in Water Snake Town have to do with us? We won't go!"
"The mayor invited us to attend the open-air party in Water Snake Town. What does it have to do with the wolf-shepherd girl Bertina?"
Maddie and Victor said almost at the same time.
Dunn glanced at Maddie first, then turned to Victor and said, "I can answer these two questions together. You yourselves also know that the informants of the Thieves Guild betrayed your information. There is no way that the mayor of Water Snake Town didn't listen. Tell me about your situation. He came to me today and asked about your situation. I only said that you were all travelers in distress and just hitched a ride through Water Snake Town. I don’t know anything else about the situation."
"The mayor didn't make things difficult for me, but he wants me to invite you to attend tomorrow's party so that everyone can get to know you."
Harvey shouted angrily: "We don't know them, why should they know us?"
The manager of the Iron Rhino Caravan would not neglect a "sixth-level venerable". He patiently explained: "The mayor has the responsibility to maintain peace and eliminate bandits. Bandit gangs have always been active on this business road like Water Snake Town. Not to mention ordinary travelers, even small adventure groups have to travel with armed caravans to ensure their own safety. Since you joined the Iron Rhino Caravan halfway, the mayor has reason to suspect that you are spies for the bandit gang."
"Six years ago, the Flying Scorpion Bandits first sent a large number of spies to sneak into Shuangyang Town, and then worked together inside and outside to invade the town, burned, killed, looted, and executed the mayor's family. There is a bloody example in Shuangyang Town. Of course, the local mayor Will be extra careful.”
Harvey and Maddie looked at each other. They finally understood. Even though there were people coming and going in Water Snake Town, those who came and went were business travelers familiar to the town. Occasionally, there would be strangers who were also accompanied by armed caravans who came to vouch for the news. Travelers like them who join a caravan halfway will be treated as bandits by the local mayor if the caravan is unwilling to guarantee.
Victor frowned and continued to ask: "What does this have to do with Bertina?"
Dunn coughed and said: "Bertina is a lone bandit and does not belong to any known bandit group, but she may not have any accomplices. The alliance requires all city-states to strictly investigate the associates of the Wolf Shepherd Bandit. The mayor of Water Snake Town threatened Me, if you are the accomplices of the Wolf Shepherd Girl, I can’t get away from it.”
Harvey asked with a straight face: "What does he mean?"
Dunn sighed and said: "It means that the mayor forced me to invite you to the open-air party in Water Snake Town for everyone to identify. I -->>

I don’t want to disturb you, but I don’t want to offend the local mayor. "
"What if we refuse to keep the appointment?" Maddie asked coldly.
"The decision whether to go or not is up to you and has nothing to do with me. I'm just here to deliver a message."
Dunn shrugged his shoulders and said: "However, based on my understanding of the local mayor, if you refuse his invitation, he will think that you have something up his sleeve and will definitely take tough measures against you."
Harvey laughed angrily and said, "Haha, if we refuse to attend the open-air party, the mayor dares to falsely accuse us of being spies for bandits and associates of the Wolf Shepherd Girl? Then he sends people to arrest us?"
Dunn did not deny it and said with a smile: "Actually, the local mayor is a pretty good person. The residents of Water Snake Town all support him. However, the mayor values his position very much and he does not allow Water Snake Town to make mistakes in his hands. .”
Victor flicked his fingers and asked, "I would like to ask, is the local mayor an official from Luoye City College?"
Dunn thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "As far as I know, Mayor Middleton is not an official with a college background. He could have had a better future... As we all know, any college does not train valuable doctors, even if they It was discovered that students with medical talents would also be taken away by famous and wealthy families. And Middleton had the rare talent of a doctor. He was born in a wealthy family in the Green Forest City-state. Because he fell in love with the famous girl Christine, he was... The banishment of a wealthy family.”
"Kristine is the wife of Mayor Middleton. Rumor has it that she came from a famous Golden Wing family in the Bright City. She was frail and sick since she was a child. She met Middleton when she was seeking medical treatment and fell in love. However, their relationship was interrupted by Jin. The Wing Mingmen objected because the gap between the two parties was too big, and Christine already had a fiancé.”
"But, they still eloped..."
"In order to appease the anger of the famous Golden Wing family, Middleton's wealthy family took the initiative to sever ties with him and no longer train him to be promoted to a fourth-level physician. Middleton is still a third-level physician."
"Kristin's relatives are trying to find a way for the Middletons to get the job of mayor of Water Snake Town. There is only so much they can do."
"No one will continue to help Mayor Middleton. If he loses his position as mayor, he will lose everything."
"Mayor Middleton is humble and gentle, but he's also cautious."
The Angel Wings Famous Clan, referred to as the Golden Wings Famous Clan, is the first of the Sixteen Pillar Famous Families, and alone occupies the central city-state of the Disa Alliance - the City of Light.
There is no doubt about the strength of the Golden Wing clan. They master a secret career path called "Balance King Attendant".
Victor heard from Rhodes, the leader of the Iron Cross Regiment, that the "Balance King" has four specialties of strength, intelligence, agility, and physical fitness. He is a very powerful professional, but the "Balance King" requires someone from a famous Golden Wing family. Bloodline is the unique career path of Angel Wings.
Victor is not interested in the third-level doctor Middleton, but he is very curious about the "King of Balance" from the famous Golden Wing family. He always felt that the profession of "Balance King's Attendant", a four-series specialty, seemed familiar.
"The mayor's wife is the 'King of Balance'?" he asked thoughtfully.
Dunn's eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Victor has also heard of the 'Balance King' from the famous Golden Wing family?" Victor didn't need to answer, he shook his head and said, "Mrs. Christine is known for her beauty and elegance. Famous, but she shouldn’t be a professional.”
Victor, who is friendly to the wind element, is curious by nature. Since the mayor's wife is not the "Balance King's Attendant", his interest was halved and he said lightly: "Well, I know about the mayor's invitation. I will consider whether to go to the appointment."
Dunn stood up immediately and said politely: "In that case, I'll take my leave first. If Mr. Victor decides to go to the appointment, the time will be tomorrow evening, and the meeting place will be in the garden in the east area of Water Snake Town."
The caravan steward and the captain of the guard left Victor's rental house together. The two turned into a secluded alley, and Welch couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sir, it seems that you intend to anger Victor and the others on behalf of Mayor Middleton?"
The mayor invited them to the open-air party through Dunn, who knew Victor, which was a courtesy in itself. If Victor and his friends don't know how to show appreciation, then don't blame him for being rude.
Of course, Middleton would not express it so directly, and there was no need to use Dunn to intimidate several foreigners of unknown origin. On the contrary, he spoke in a tactful and polite manner, and Welch could not find any fault in being present at the time.
Middleton clearly invited Victor and others to visit him. But why did the meaning he expressed become an offensive threat after being paraphrased by Dunn?
Dunn was obviously suspected of sowing discord, which puzzled Welch.
"Do you know why Middleton is so polite to Victor and the others? Because Victor's appearance and temperament are like those of a famous aristocrat...a famous aristocrat in trouble. Middleton neither wants to offend him nor get into trouble. He Assign me to invite Victor, am I willing to cause trouble?" Dunn sneered. As a wealthy and respected man who works as a gunman, even if the mayor behaves politely, he still feels a sense of guilt in his heart. fire.
With the backing of a wealthy family, Dunn was actually not afraid of the mayor of Water Snake Town at all. However, it would be easy for Middleton to stumble the Iron Rhino Caravan. Although Dunn was angry, it was not easy to offend the officials of Water Snake Town. After all, he was the one who brought Victor and his party into the town.
"The patriarch told me that wealthy families like ours are actually in the most difficult situation." Dunn shook his head and said with emotion: "There are famous families above who are suppressing them, and there are local forces below that need to be managed. Middleton spoke to me politely. , I have no reason to refuse his request."
He immediately raised the corner of his mouth and said proudly: "I just deliberately mentioned that the Wolf Shepherd Girl attacked Golden Nightingale's large caravan. Did you notice Victor's expression? He was a little surprised and was particularly interested in the Wolf Shepherd Girl. I figured it out at that time. Victor and the others should be the losers of the internal fight among the famous Golden Nightingale family and have been hiding in the wild for a long time. Otherwise, how could they not know that everyone must stay away from Bertina, the female wolf-shepherd bandit? Don’t you want to borrow her ability to take revenge on the famous Golden Nightingale family?”
Welch was startled, looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "We can't get involved in the internal fighting of Zhu Mingmen."
Dunn said with a gloating smile: "Victor and the others ran to Luoye City. Maybe there are famous highland families who are willing to help him. The only one who can compete with the Golden Nightingale family is the Zhu Mingmen... Of course we can't fight between the Zhu Mingmen. Get involved. I just want to know, if Middleton falls into the whirlpool of infighting among famous families, can his beautiful wife be able to save him?"
"Sir, do you want to stay and watch the show?" Welch asked anxiously.
Dunn shook his head seriously and said: "No. We will leave Water Snake Town tonight... You go back and make arrangements, and warn those talkative guys. If anyone dares to reveal Victor's information to outsiders again, I will kill him." Cut out your tongue!"
