"Bernie, did the Lord Lord keep you at the meeting today?" A young woman asked curiously to Bernie who suddenly came back.

Bernie took off her coat and handed it to the young woman, sat on a seat covered with exquisite cotton, and breathed a sigh of relief before replying: "Jenny, today's meeting has been completed, so I can come back so early."

------------

Bernie Kley was originally a member of the Garfield Chamber of Commerce. After volunteering to unite with Nanshan to lead several surrounding territories to attack Xia Kingdom, which occupied the Linhai Basin, without success, he was naturally expelled from the Garfield Chamber of Commerce.

If the Chamber of Commerce had not been given the fact that Bernie had brought a lot of benefits to the Chamber of Commerce in the past, it would have been sunk to the bottom of the river, and would have been fired so simply.

Bernie returned to Cross River City in a down-and-out manner and relied on his past to open a tavern on the bustling streets to make a living.

After offending the Garfield Chamber of Commerce, he still did business on the territorial commerce. He was naturally despised by Bernie in the past because of being bullied by the lower class, so of course the business was not done well.

Seeing that he was about to lose money, Bernie had to move out of the Cross River City and brought his elderly parents, young wife and young children to a viscount territory in the south.

But on the way to move, war broke out.

One day, the caravan he followed was robbed by a group of thieves on the road. The caravan guards abandoned the caravan and fled alone with the passengers.

In the chaos, Bernie's parents and children were dispersed. Seeing the thief holding his weapons and killing him when he saw others, he had to hold his wife's hand and flee the road with the others.

The next day, Bernie returned to the spot to look for his parents and children, but only the charred ground was left. It seemed that the thieves set fire after killing people.

Since the plague, everyone has known some simple knowledge of preventing and controlling plague, so this fire should have been cremated by the thief after killing people to prevent plague.

But in this way, Bernie could not know the safety of his family. He had to endure the sadness in his heart, comfort his tears with tears in despair, and told her that it was good news that he had not seen the body.

In the next few days, the two looked for all the places nearby that could be found, but they could not find their family. They had to comfort themselves repeatedly, perhaps leaving with the others.

Bernie and his wife continued to move forward along the mainland, but at this time they had not had a good meal for several days and were already extremely tired and hungry.

Fortunately, when they were about to persevere, they encountered a small village, but the village seemed to have been visited by thieves and had become ruined.

When Bernie and his wife walked into the ruined village, they found something to eat in the farmland outside the ruins, and then found a place that could barely block the wind and rain for a night of rest.

The next day, the two of them found enough food from the farmland for several days and continued to set foot on the road southward.

As we walked and stopped, with Bernie's wisdom and the persistence of the two, we finally met a team of caravans heading south a few days later. After the caravan leader heard about Bernie's experience, he kindly led the two of them forward together.

After this period, the Bernie and his wife already knew that their family was in danger, but it was precisely because of the hardships these days that made the couple stronger.

Ten days later, Bernie followed the caravan and finally arrived at the destination, a city of Viscount's territory.

With Bernie's ability, he soon found an errand under the treasurer of the Viscount's territory and became a bookkeeper.

Just when Bernie thought he could live in peace like this, the flames of war burned to this place.

"Have you heard that the South's Welfare Mate Kingdom has attacked the southern territory, which is very close to us." During the work break, Bernie's colleagues chatted.

"Yes, I heard that the country of Welcoming has an army of 100,000. There are so many people, how can our little viscount leader resist it?"

"That's right, but I heard that as long as the lord is willing to be loyal to the monarch of the Kingdom of Welmet and obeys the orders, he will not attack."

"With our lord's temper, it is probably difficult to make him bow down to others, let alone even if he is loyal to the country of Fulimet, the soldiers in the territory will be drawn out to fight. If the number of people is not enough, they will have to recruit soldiers."

Hearing this, Bernie knew the latest situation in the south. Although he heard that the original Nanshan Leader had embarked on the road of rebelling against the convention with the support of the Xia Kingdom, he did not expect that the Nanshan Leader could be so powerful now.

Thinking back to the beginning, Bernie was also considered a top man. He also served as an envoy to the Nanshan Territory, allowing the rest of the surrounding territories to unite to attack the offensive Xia Kingdom.

"Oh~!" Bernie sighed long. These past glory were very different from the current situation.

However, he is quite satisfied with his current life, but when it is late at night, he will recall his former glory.

Therefore, when Bernie learned that his current life was about to be lost, he was a little anxious, so he interrupted: "The Lord Lord wants to resist the attack of the country of Welmet, and he will probably start recruiting troops."

"What should I do?" "Yes, we won't be taken to the army, right?"... When my colleagues heard Bernie's words, they became a little worried.

"Aren't we doing things under the lord? Even if we are in the army, it's not our turn." Bernie analyzed everyone's current situation to his colleagues, and comforted the others.

"That's it!" "Luckily..." The colleagues all breathed a sigh of relief. A young man who seemed to be a relative smiled at Bernie and said, "Bernie, you are smart. If I could be as smart as you, I would do things for the Lord."

As he said unintentional listeners were intentional! When Bernie heard this, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

"Yes, I have this ability, maybe this time it's my chance." Bernie made up his mind secretly, but he didn't take action immediately. He didn't want to make the mistake like the last time again.

After Bernie got off work, she returned home and did not tell her wife his plans. She just told her that she would come back late every day after get off work. Her wife thought she was busy with errands, so she didn't ask much.

In fact, Bernie went to inquire about the news after get off work, taverns, hotels, caravans... as long as he could get information about the surrounding territory, he would go there.

After going out early and returning late for more than half a month, Bernie finally knew the information he wanted, and his plan was about to begin.
