Laura put on a large robe to cover her face.
If Laura had not made eye contact with An Nuo when she passed by, and An Nuo had not seen her name with his [Five Visions Universal], An Nuo would not have realized that she was Laura.
"What's going on?"
An Nuo suddenly had a bad feeling.
When all the guards walked to the front of the team, Viscount Renault appeared in everyone's sight under the protection of a group of elite guards.
"It seems like everyone is very interested in this commission!"
Viscount Renault rode his warhorse into the crowd, looking at the small mercenary groups around him that had come even though they had not received any commissions, and then focused his attention on Anno and the adventurer behind him.
This was the first time that Viscount Renault saw adventurers gathering.
More than a thousand people lined up in neat rows under the fluttering banner of the Adventurer's Guild.
The Viscount became more and more satisfied with Annuo.
"Although this kid cheated me once before, the more cunning he is, the better. Only in this way can we better protect Laura."
Viscount Renault shifted his gaze from Anno to Linda, and the two nodded calmly.
"President Anno, Captain Warwick, and Captain Linda, you will represent the unofficial professionals of Valkham and follow my guard team to the town of Gruul to support His Royal Highness the Third Prince.
As the face of Valkham, I hope you can perform well."
Anno & Warwick & Linda: "Understood!"
Viscount Renault nodded, dismounted, and walked to An Nuo with his hands behind his back. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Boy, you are so brave. Yesterday, while I was away, you made my daughter cry and even forced information out of her!"
An Nuo was not frightened by Viscount Renault's appearance at all. Instead, he rolled his eyes and said, "You left on purpose, leaving only Miss Lola and me. Isn't it just to let me get some information from Miss Lola?"
Viscount Renault stared at Anno for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter.
"good!"
After praising An Nuo, Viscount Renault suddenly said seriously: "An Nuo, this time Laura will quietly follow the team to the town of Gruul, you must protect her! If my daughter gets hurt in the slightest, I will make you pay for it!"
Anno's face changed, not understanding why Viscount Renault made such a dangerous decision.
Even if these people do not participate in the war, they are going to the front line after all, so there is still danger.
Letting Laura go, wouldn't that be pushing her into the fire pit?
"Valkham...what happened?"
Hearing An Nuo's question, Viscount Renault was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I still underestimated your intelligence!"
Then Viscount Renault whispered a few words to Anno.
"Assassinated!"
After hearing this, An Nuo's eyes suddenly widened. Just as he was about to ask, he was interrupted by Viscount Renault.
"They are coming for me. Letting Laura go to Gruul Town is also to avoid the limelight.
Those people probably didn't expect me to do this.
Not many people know about this.
I told you in advance because I wanted you to be careful. If you encounter danger, you must protect Laura's safety.
Boy, don't let me down!"
Looking at Viscount Renault's meaningful eyes, An Nuo didn't know what to say.
Viscount Renault's willingness to tell Anno about this means that he trusts you very much.
But does Laura really need An Nuo's protection?
Among the guards sent to the town of Gruul, there were ten guards above level 10.
The highest level are two level 14 knights, one of whom is the female knight riding with Laura!
Even with such protection, Laura still encountered danger and Annuo could not help.
"Why do you trust me so much?"
"Believe you? No, I believe in myself!"
Viscount Renault shook his head, took An Nuo to a deserted place, and said slowly: “When I asked Laura if she had someone she loved, she mentioned your name.
I have always paid a lot of attention to you, and now I pay even more attention to you.
I got all the information about you.
From your time in the small town of Gruul to Valkham, I have watched your experiences more than once.
What surprises me is that you and your companions seem very unfamiliar with the world we live in.
It was like suddenly understanding Angomelos.
Your actions since arriving in Valkham have always revolved around the Adventurer's Guild.
Although I haven't found out your specific background, I have inferred from various things that you were definitely not sent by my enemy.
There are eight professionals with special talents, plus a summoner profession that has never been heard of.
If my enemies had this power, they would have eliminated me long ago!
For me, just being sure of this is enough.
Judging from your willingness to lead the adventurers to take the initiative and hunt the Goblin King for Valkham, your character is also guaranteed."
Viscount Renault's words showed that he had investigated An Nuo, Xue Feibai and his group.
“Annuo, I was originally dissatisfied with Laura’s choice and wanted her to marry the son of a former noble friend of mine.
But now, I think with your potential, it won’t be long before you will be able to protect Laura!
Until you are able to protect Laura, I can continue to protect you from the wind and rain.
I told you so much just to express one thing.
I still hope you can agree to marry Laura.
Someone tried to assassinate me yesterday, which shows that my enemies can no longer sit still.
They were worried that I would get on the Third Prince's ship, so they wanted to get rid of me now.
Just in case, I also need to prepare early.
When you return from the town of Gruul, I plan to announce that you and Laura are engaged, and then let Laura inherit my position.
Don't be quick to refuse.
Let me tell you something first. When the Adventurer's Guild was first established, you borrowed my and Laura's names a lot!
In the eyes of my enemies, you are the one I trained.
Do you understand? "
"Whether I agree or not, to those people, I have already been labeled as yours and I am someone who needs to be eliminated!"
Anno knew very well that Viscount Renault had only one ultimate purpose in saying so much to him.
That is to bring him to Viscount Renault's side.
Moreover, if An Nuo guessed correctly, the news that "the president of the Adventurer's Guild was trained by Viscount Renault" was deliberately spread by Viscount Renault!
Anyway, there is evidence - Laura participated in the establishment of the Adventurer's Guild.
In any case, it was impossible for Anno to stay out of the struggle between Renault and his enemies.
An Nuo and Ren Nuo stared at each other for a long time, and finally the former sighed and said, "I understand!"
Viscount Renault smiled, patted An Nuo on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I haven't done nothing all these years, I won't die easily. At least I can protect you and Laura for another year or two!
Be careful when you go to the town of Gruul this time, the third prince is not an ordinary person either.
As soon as he left me, I was assassinated. It was very likely that he passed some information to my enemies and forced me to take sides.
However, you still have to show what you should show. Don’t reveal anything for now…”
Viscount Renault seemed to have really treated Anno as his son-in-law and told Anno many things to pay attention to.
This made the surrounding mercenaries a little confused.
Why did the Viscount talk so much today, and he only talked to Annuo?
In the crowd, a few shifty professionals narrowed their eyes and stared at An Nuo and Renault for a long time, then slowly retreated to an empty alley...
Viscount Renault spoke for nearly ten minutes before he turned and walked to the center of the crowd, saying loudly to everyone, "Let's go!"
After Viscount Renault finished speaking, a middle-aged knight came up from behind.
He is the commander-in-chief of the two hundred guards in this operation.
One of the two level 14 knights, Grim!
"Set off!"
At Grimm's command, a team of thousands of people began to advance towards the town of Gruul.
And Annuo decided that after arriving at the town of Gruul, he would find a way to join the battle.
Originally, he thought that he would just collect the souls around him.
The third prince probably doesn't want to share the credit for this achievement with others.
But now, he must speed up his pace to become stronger.
It is still unknown who Renault's enemy is.
But he should not be a noble in the royal capital, otherwise Renault would not have the confidence to say that he could last for a year or two.
But no matter what, the power in the hands of Viscount Renault's enemies will definitely be stronger than Annuo.
If they don't become stronger, not only An Nuo, Xue Feibai and others, but also the Adventurer's Guild will be in danger.
"I thought I could live a peaceful life after defeating the Bloodstain Mercenaries, but I didn't expect to be involved in another fight!"
An Nuo rubbed his eyes and felt a little tired.
Even though they were being suppressed and beaten by the demons, there were still open and secret struggles among the nobles.
"If you are not united, you deserve to be defeated!"
