I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 39 The Director's Second Visit

In addition to conveying Duke Raymond's orders, the messenger sent by Winterhold to Greenwater City actually had another mission.

This mission was required not to be exposed and had to be kept secret, which conflicted with the mission of delivering the message.

Therefore, when the messenger was near Green Water City, he found a hidden place to hide his armor and other things that would reveal his identity, and then entered Green Water City in disguise.

After completing the hidden mission, he will leave the city immediately, change into his original clothes, and then enter Green Water City to deliver the message.

Although it is troublesome, this is a task assigned by Duke Raymond himself and there can be no mistakes. Even the executor is Duke Raymond's confidant who is always by his side.

This happened just a few hours ago. The messenger entered Green Water City in disguise and found the person he was looking for in the slum area.

There is no mistake in the reaction of Holy White Stone, that is the person we are going to contact in this hidden mission.

Ensuring that the holy white stone arrives at Green Water City safely and without any subsequent difficulties is the task assigned by Duke Raymond.

The captain of the escort team looked at the messenger who suddenly walked to his shack. The two of them looked at each other for just one second and knew each other's identity.

The messenger followed the captain to the back of the carriage. It was quieter here and there wouldn't be too much attention. It was a good place to talk about things that couldn't be heard by outsiders.

"How about this batch of holy white stones be delivered on time?"

"As long as you don't meet any pagans."

"Okay, I will tell the Duke the truth. He should send soldiers to patrol the road a few times. By then, even if there are pagans ambushing us, they should be scared away."

"That would be best."

"Oh, by the way, there is a big shot who was expected to arrive in Winterhold recently but has lost contact. The Duke is sending people to look for him. If you meet him along the way and can bring him back, you can go to the Duke to claim the reward. This is a photo of that big shot."

The captain took the ID photo from the messenger. Because it was a front view, the captain did not recognize Wyatt at first, but he felt that he looked familiar.

The captain was searching his memory and soon recalled what happened in the shanty town earlier.

"I saw guards arrest two people nearby. One of them was the captain of the caravan that stopped here. The other one looked very similar to the important person in the photo. He claimed to be a scholar from Mayos City, and his clothes also looked like that."

"sure?"

"At least what I said is true."

"Well, although there is no substantial evidence, if this scholar is a big shot from Mayos City, it will be a big problem. I will solve it."

After the conversation, the messenger quickly left the shack area, walked out of the city gate, and came to the place where the equipment was hidden.

After changing his clothes, he turned his horse around and continued to rush towards Green Water City.

…………

The guards of Green Water City are responsible for many tasks, maintaining public order is naturally one of them. Therefore, there is a dungeon for holding prisoners under the guard office.

Wyatt and Henry were brought into this kind of place.

Everything in backward areas is backward, including the prison cells.

The dungeon of Green Water City reminded Wyatt of some pagan strongholds. They were dirty, damp, and smelly. Depending on the different factions, there would be different things in these strongholds, emitting different odors.

But this dungeon isn't that rotten, so it's not a problem to live there for at least a day or two.

"Sir, how long will we be imprisoned?" "Don't worry, we will release you after the investigation is completed. It will take a few days."

The guard said something perfunctory to Henry, then pushed the two men into the cell and closed the door.

Henry sat down on the pile of straw in the corner in frustration and sighed several times.

Anyone would be so frustrated. They shouldered the hopes of the entire territory and carried most of the territory's minerals to exchange for food for the winter, but something like this happened.

The weather is getting colder day by day. Who knows when the first snow will come? At this time, going back one day later will increase the danger.

Everyone in the area north of Winterhold lives on hope, and those without hope are not far from death.

Henry thought of his former neighbors. It was said that their ancestors had been nobles and they were the only common people in Bluestone Town with a surname, which seemed to be Ulysses.

Their family fell into poverty fifty or sixty years ago, but fortunately the neighbor was still optimistic and lived well with his wife and son. A few years ago, his son worked hard and was admitted to a school in Mayos City, which seemed to be a famous school. The Duke of Winterhold sent people to congratulate them and even helped them move their home to the south of Winterhold.

Everyone in Bluestone Town said that this was a blessing from the Goddess, and that they had hope that it would eventually become so.

If something unexpected happened this year, Henry couldn't imagine what would happen to Blue Stone Town.

Henry raised his head, hoping to see some hope, but he didn't see the guard coming to open the door. All he could see was Wyatt leaning against the iron bars.

Henry now felt guilty and disappointed with Wyatt.

She felt guilty because she had caused him to go to jail, and she was disappointed because he was not the scholar from Mayos City as she had imagined.

Henry didn't deny that he was a bit of an asshole for thinking this way, but everyone in the Wasteland Territory was an asshole, and those who weren't assholes would have starved to death long ago.

"Mr. Wyatt, you should take a rest. Life in prison is not easy. A scholar like you can't bear it."

"The guards outside seem to be gossiping about something. Anyway, they have nothing to do while being locked up, so they are just killing time."

"...As long as you are happy."

Under the flickering firelight in the dungeon, three guards were sitting around a dark wooden table, playing cards and joking around.

"Have you heard that the caravan from Linxue Town that was going to come to our city for trade this year seems to have encountered an accident?"

"What is it? It can't be a pagan."

"It's true. No one in the caravan survived. We don't know where the ore went. I'm afraid Linxue Town will be doomed this year."

"These pagans can't even make ends meet, so why would they rob the ore?"

"Who knows? Hasn't the Nativity Society been severely suppressed recently? Maybe it really can't make ends meet."

"How can you get enough food every day in the Wasteland Territory? It's normal to not have enough food to eat. There has been a constant flow of ore into Winterhold recently. I guess the Duke must have found some good market for it."

Although they seemed like small matters, Wyatt listened to them with great interest. After all, this was a good opportunity for him to learn about the Wasteland Territory.

Besides, it's really boring to stay in a cell, so it's good to find something to do.

Unfortunately, Wyatt's entertainment did not last long, as a fourth guard soon arrived at the cell.

"Hey, there are two pretty girls outside. Aren't you bored? Come out and join in the fun."
