After completing the hotel registration, Nolan followed Green's footsteps out of the hotel, intending to hurry up and find the boat to Rainbow Valley. Although Luke suggested hiring him to arrange everything on the boat earlier, Green wanted to try to figure it out by himself... However, everything is really not as simple as imagined.
Green, who was born as an adjutant of the Silver Knights, had never encountered such contempt or even insult when he was in the territory of Keen. No matter where they went, they were glared at by everyone, treated coldly, and all questions were perfunctory, and they could hardly ask anything. When the two walked out of the blacksmith shop, the vegetable seller on the opposite side even threw rotten vegetable leaves at them, and shouted: "Kean's offal! Give back my lord, give back my princess and relatives—get out of Storm City, You are not welcome here!"
Fortunately, Green protected Nolan in time, and patted away the flying vegetable leaves with one hand, but the shattered vegetable dregs stuck a few small pieces to the face of the flower protector. Nolan was a little angry and wanted to go up to reason, but Green grabbed her and dragged her quickly through the growing crowd and fled back to the hotel.

He found an empty table in the corner of the hotel lobby and sat down. Nolan immediately greeted the boss and clamored for a drink.
While tidying up his clothes, Green said comfortingly, "In this world, alcohol can't solve any problems. In my opinion, the right way is to find a ship and leave here as soon as possible."
"How can they do this? We are just innocent civilians." Nolan said angrily, "Even if there is a war, it is a matter of the country, and the matter of the army. How can it affect civilians?"
"I am an adjutant of the Silver Knights. I belong to the legion, not a civilian." Green reminded softly.
"If you don't tell them, they don't know. With your appearance, you look like a commoner!" Nolan, a kid, always only believed in his own reasons.
"Yes, yes, you are right." Green could only agree with a smile.
At this time, Nolan seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "I remember you said that the lord of Storm City is called Ai Heting?"
"Egostine."
"That's right, Agestine! But, why did the guards say they were asking in the name of Claire the Storm Queen when we entered the city?"
Green thought for a while: "The only explanation can only be that the lord has passed the throne. I don't know much about the situation of the Dolly family, so I probably have to ask the locals."
While the two were talking, a familiar person appeared at their table. When the two looked up, it was actually Luke.
-
"I heard that there was a commotion at the door of the blacksmith shop. I guess it must be related to you." Luke folded his hands and raised his eyebrows.
"Luke, why are you here?" Nolan ignored his question and asked reflexively.
"Didn't I say that I would be at the hotel during meal times?" Luke replied.
"You said dinner, and it's noon now." Nolan corrected.
"Hey, I have to eat at noon too... Can you stop worrying about such small issues." Luke put on a helpless expression, trying to change the topic back, "Nowadays, your identities are not easy to move around in the city. You should have some experience with this matter, right? Two days ago, Storm Queen Claire just issued a declaration of war, and the people’s sentiments were very passionate. I also admire you Keen people for daring to stalk the streets. Simply, you want What are you going to do, give me some money, and let me do it for you? It’s safe for you to stay in the hotel for the time being.”
"I remember that the lord of Storm City isn't Egosteen? This Storm Queen Claire is...?" Green asked the question Nolan raised a few minutes ago.
"The Queen of Storms, Claire, is Egostine's eldest princess. The lord has no children, only two daughters, Claire and Princess Vanessa. Princess Vanessa married into the royal family of Keen, and Claire is the only one left. The line of the royal family is rooted in Blue Rock Castle. After the former lord Eggestine disappeared for unknown reasons, her succession is a matter of course. The official enthronement ceremony has not yet been completed, and the matter was only announced two weeks ago in the capacity of an agent. However , the two princesses have been visiting the people since they were young and are loved by the people, so when the queen announced her acting role, everyone naturally called her the Queen of the Storm."
"Lord Agestine is missing?... How could such a powerful person happen?" Green couldn't hide his surprise, "Is there no official statement?"
"The official said that it was an unknown disappearance... This is not counted. Later, the royal relatives who went to Tianqi to participate in the engagement ceremony were also attacked. After the mother of the princess was in charge, Terresa and most of the relatives disappeared. Misfortunes never come singly. Now Princess Nissa was imprisoned in the apocalypse, and all the people in Doli believed that the disappearance of the lord and queen was a conspiracy planned by the royal family of Keen. The people's anger was inextricable, and this civil war seemed inevitable..." Luke said He sighed, and then changed his tone suddenly, "However, this civil war is occasionally beneficial. For example, my agency business can reflect its value. You see, the civil war is on the verge of breaking out, and it is impossible for you to do anything conveniently in the city. You should listen to it." Let me tell you, let me do it for you.”
Green and Nolan glanced at each other, Nolan nodded and said to the hospital, Green finally compromised and said: "Okay, I can give you 30 gold to help with the chartered boat to Rainbow Valley, but I have a request, Find all the personnel and let us see the ship before we can pay. In addition, for this chartered ship, please complete a series of things such as the captain and sailors, and the budget should not exceed 300 gold."
"300 gold?" Luke burst out laughing, "It's impossible, the cheapest way to charter a boat to such a dangerous place is 1,000 gold. It's okay to pay my commission after showing you the ship and crew. But I really can’t do it with a budget of 300 gold.”
"1000 gold?!!" Nolan's eyes widened, and he saw that Luke turned to Green again.
Green sighed helplessly, and replied lightly: "Okay, then don't exceed 1,000 gold."
-
After Luke left, it took Nolan a long time to realize it, then he looked at Green's face fixedly, and uttered a sentence for a long time: "You are a rich man!"
Green smiled and replied, "I'm a full-level transfer character, and I'm still an adjutant of the Silver Knights. It's normal to have some savings. In the future, after you reach full-level transfer, you will have many opportunities to make money."
When Nolan heard this, he felt happy and excited. He clenched his fists and responded vigorously: "I will work hard!"
