Chapter 515: Will you sell your ring?
The cold wind of autumn has arrived in the Gordon Kingdom from the north, and the sky is as blue as water. Looking to the west from Cuifeng City, the golden waves of wheat are slowly rising and falling under the blowing of the autumn wind.
The farmers were working in the fields with their heads down. Although this year was a bumper harvest, there was no joy on their faces. Instead, they raised their heads from time to time to look at the rolling hills of the Eli Hills to the east.
Who knows when the enemies of the Kingdom of Archibald and the Paro Federation will come here. The nobles and knights in the territory all follow Prince Gerald to resist the enemy''s invasion.
When will this war end?
For more than half a year, ordinary people in nearby areas no longer worry about the war spreading to their hometowns.
No one was in the mood to prepare for even the autumn festival to offer thanks to the Earth Mother Goddess for the harvest.
Cuifeng City, Mercenary Guild,
The first floor of a mercenary guild is usually the lobby of the mercenary guild, where mercenaries choose and receive entrusted tasks, and also communicate with each other here.
Therefore, the first floor of most mercenary guilds is arranged in the form of a tavern. The mercenaries like to gather here to drink and chat, and relax the nerves that have been tense while completing tasks.
The red flames in the fireplace in the hall kept licking the already dark walls, dispersing some of the chill in the room, so that the mercenaries who started stripping and dancing drunkenly would not catch a cold.
In a corner of the hall, Li Si sat there quietly.
On the table in front of him was the Gordon Kingdom''s most famous rye, and the mellow yellow wine liquid flowing in the crystal wine glass was as alluring as melted gold.
A bottle of this top-notch rye costs one hundred gold coins, and mercenaries cannot afford this level of luxury.
Li Si was sitting there enjoying the wine alone, and the mercenaries consciously stayed away from him, leaving a large circle of empty tables and chairs around him.
Even the mercenaries sitting elsewhere couldn''t help but lower their figures. The young figure sitting there seemed to bring invisible pressure to them.
Li Si didn''t care about this. He was not killing time here, but waiting for players to come to him and join the White Pigeon Mercenary Group.
As for issuing commissions and receiving commissions, they can be completed directly in the players'' system panel.
Moreover, Li Si was not bored sitting here.
What could be happier than looking at the increasing experience points on the system panel?
In just a short while, the experience points provided by the players he recruited had already allowed Li Si to advance to another level.
That''s hundreds of millions of experience points, and you can get it easily!
Although this is also related to the fact that this leek field is wild and has never been harvested, the experience points they consume in the skill shop are also the most generous.
But Li Si is not worried. As the players become stronger, they will gain experience faster and faster.
Li Si will also harvest leeks faster, which is the case for the players at Dan''erluo Port.
While Li Si was happily tasting the fine wine and the special snacks of the Gordon Kingdom, a steward from the Mercenary Guild walked up to Li Si and said respectfully:
"Mr. Li Si, I''m really sorry to bother you."
"If you don''t mind, President Jim would like to ask you to come over. It seems that he has something to ask you."
"The president is looking for me?"
Li Si shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the golden wine shining in the light, and said a little strangely.
He had talked with the president of the mercenary guild before, and the cooperation with the mercenary guild was also reached at that time.
But the cooperation has been achieved, what else does the president want to do with him?
"Okay, you lead the way!"
Li Si drank the rye in the glass in one gulp, stood up and said to the steward who was still bent over.
"yes!"
The middle-aged steward quickly stood up and led Li Si up to the second floor.
Duoduo~
"Please come in."
The door opened, and the guild steward led Li Si into a room in the corner of the second floor.
The decoration here is completely different from that of the hall below. The decoration is luxurious yet low-key and deep.
The old man sitting on the sofa in the room saw Li Si, stood up quickly, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Li Si, I''m really sorry to disturb you. Please sit down first."
Li Si didn''t pay attention and sat down casually.
Seeing this, the steward on the side exited the room and gently closed the door. Then he stood guard at the door of the room to prevent anyone from approaching.
"Tell me, what''s the matter?"
Li Si looked at the president of the mercenary guild in front of him. Perhaps because of the approaching war, the already old man looked more haggard, and his eye sockets were dark and dark.
"Lord Li Si, there is such a thing."
Jim had a wry smile on his face and said to the boy in front of him.
If possible, he didn''t want to ask the boy in front of him for help.
But now the lord of Cuifeng City has followed Prince Jellal to resist the enemy''s invasion on the front line. He is also very troubled when such things happen in the city.
When the young man in front of him came to him and wanted to cooperate, he really gave him a "little shock".
People from the Church of the Earth have been investigating for a long time, but there has been no result.
The longer time passes, the harder it will be to keep the lid on, and the likely impact will be greater.
Under the current circumstances, Cuifeng City, which is the logistics base of Gordon''s army on the front line, must not cause chaos.
"Mr. Li Si, I wonder if you know the Wright Block?"
Jim paused slightly, looked at Li Si and said.
"have no idea."
"Be direct, what is going on?"
Li Si said neatly.
In his previous life, he didn''t have many activities in the Gordon Kingdom, and at most he just passed by.
He only knows a rough idea of ??the plot development of version 2.0 of Gordon''s Kingdom.
He knew about Cuifeng City, but he didn''t know the specific area involved.
During this time, he was busy preparing for the White Pigeon Mercenary Group, and he had no interest in learning about other things.
Could it be that the guild leader''s expression in front of him was related to some special plot?
Seeing Li Si''s impatient look, Jim quickly said:
"The Wright neighborhood is the westernmost neighborhood in Cuifeng City. The residents living there are people who have a relatively difficult life."
"In a sense, it is also the slum area of ??Cuifeng City."
Li Si nodded slightly. Slums are a very common place in a city.
Not to mention Cuifeng City, even Bright Light City, the capital of the Kingdom of Fes, does not have slums?
"Recently, residents of the Wright neighborhood have gone missing from time to time."
Jim said in a deep voice:
"At the beginning, the only ones missing were some beggars, and no one noticed anything was wrong."
"But seven days ago, the city guards received reports that residents were missing in the Wright neighborhood, and the number was even increasing."
"So, is there anything special about this?"
Li Si frowned slightly and asked Jim.
He remembered that when he was trying to get commissions from the Mercenary Guild to the White Pigeon Merchant Guild, he found that there were quite a few missing people commissions.
However, the rewards for those commissions were not much, and could not be compared with the war commissions from the Kingdom of Gordon, so he did not care. Now that I think about it, the number of people-tracing commissions is indeed quite high.
And this situation always makes Li Si feel familiar.
"After the city guards searched to no avail, since the Lord of Cuifeng City was not in the city, they asked the Earth Church and the Mercenary Guild for help."
"After the priests and paladins of the Earth Church intervened, they discovered something was wrong."
"In a basement in the Wright neighborhood, they found traces of human sacrifice."
Tsk!
Li Si looked at Jim in front of him and had a headache.
Why are you here again? The followers of the evil **** are so restless!
But yes, if those evil **** believers don''t cause trouble when the war breaks out, then they are not evil **** believers.
Li Si put his right hand on his forehead and asked Jim:
"Have you found out which believer of the evil **** you did it to?"
He really couldn''t ignore this kind of thing.
Not to mention that he wants to establish the White Pigeon Mercenary Group in Cuifeng City to recruit players. He needs to establish a stable stronghold. Cuifeng City is the most suitable area.
In addition, while the two special identities of [World Guardian] and [World Tree Beloved] bring him great power and strength, he also needs to perform corresponding responsibilities.
Although this is not a mandatory requirement, Li Si is quite happy to kill those followers of the evil god.
After all, it usually comes with huge rewards.
It''s better to solve it as soon as possible, there is still a lot to do.
Li Si made a decision in his heart.
"Not sure"
Jim said with some embarrassment.
"When the people from the Church of the Earth discovered the place, it had been abandoned. They could only judge from the traces left that it was a sacrifice that took place a week ago."
"Are there any other clues after that?"
Li Si then asked, the confrontation between the Earth Church and the followers of the evil **** has been going on for a long time, and the people of the Earth Church are professionals.
"there is none left."
Jim shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"Other than that, there are no clues at all, but the disappearance of residents in the Wright neighborhood has not stopped, and the number of missing people is increasing."
"Even though the Earth Church deployed a lot of manpower in the Wright neighborhood, the situation has never improved."
"That''s it"
Li Si was also a little surprised that even the people from the Church of the Earth could not find the followers of the evil god, which was a bit exaggerated.
The followers of the evil **** are often just rats hiding in the dark, and it is indeed very difficult to find them.
However, they were able to continue to act despite the intense search by the Church of the Earth. These evil believers were a bit outrageous.
Although Li Si didn''t know much about the plot and side missions in Cuifeng City during this period in his previous life, he knew that Cuifeng City had survived the war intact in his previous life.
In other words, these evil **** believers either failed in their plans, or the impact was not great.
There is still some time, it should be no problem to deal with these evil **** believers and collect a wave of rewards.
"So you came to me just for this commission?"
Lees asked Jim.
"Yes."
Jim nodded and said solemnly:
"This situation has been reported to Prince Jellal on the front line. When the prince will arrange for people to come over to help, he will also ask the mercenary guild to issue tasks to provide assistance."
"The first thing I can think of is you."
"Don''t you want to receive some more high-reward commissions for your mercenary group, and specifically stated that you don''t have to worry about danger?"
"Because of Prince Jellal''s attention, the reward for this commissioned task is the highest."
When Jim said this, he also had his worries.
Although Li Si has already stated that there is no need to worry about danger, if his newly recruited mercenaries really suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, Jim still wanted to say hello to Li Si first, so that if any problems arise in the future, it will have nothing to do with the mercenary guild.
After all, when he first met Li Si, the impression left on him was a bit too "deep".
"Okay, I get it."
Li Si didn''t pay attention. It was just a commissioned task anyway, but this task was a bit special and related to the followers of the evil god.
As for the danger
Just kidding, the biggest advantage of players is that they are not afraid of death!
As long as there is enough reward!
After confirming to accept the commission, Li Si walked downstairs.
Just as he was about to return to the small table, he saw two people standing aside waiting.
A dark player, with the name "Is He Black?"
Player?
That’s not surprising!
Li Si was not surprised by these things in his previous life, but he himself was still not sensitive to these things.
As for the person standing next to the player, Li Si discovered that he was not a player, but an ordinary person.
But for some reason, Li Si looked at this person and felt a little familiar.
Seeing Li Si coming over, Heihe dragged Blair over and walked over.
Blair looked a little helpless. He had just been negotiating with the merchants at the market when he saw Hei Ma and rushed towards him.
Then she held on to his clothes tightly, begging herself to go to a place with him, and almost fell to her knees just by looking at him.
After all, he was a friend who traveled with him for a while, and once saved his life. Although he was speechless, he still stopped negotiating and followed Hei Ma to the mercenary guild.
Just when he was waiting for boredom, he saw a figure walking down from the second floor. Heihe dragged him towards him.
"Lord Li Si!"
Blackie excitedly grabbed Blair tightly like a big treasure and rushed to Li Si.
Li Si was still a little strange. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a new prompt appear on the system panel.
—
Ding~
[Player [Are You Black] has submitted a task to you! ]
[Bounty mission 8: [Looking for businessman Blair]
Mission requirements: Blair (1/1)]
[Should the reward be settled? ]
[(whether)]-
(\''\'')
Wow!
There are actually players who can complete the reward tasks he released? !
What good luck!
Li Si looked at the information refreshed on the system panel in surprise, and his eyes moved to Blair.
I can indeed vaguely see the shadow of the old man.
Li Si conveniently settled the mission reward for Hei Mo, and ignored Hei Mo who was in excitement, and said to Blair:
"Nice to meet you, Blair."
"If possible, can you sell me the ring on your hand?"
Li Si pointed to the brass ring on Blair''s hand and said with a smile.
