Chapter 400 Bounty completed, new treasure hunt mission! (6000)
At this moment, Elisa and Rhaenys closed their eyes and seemed to be in a deep sleep.
However, the trembling eyelids and tense body still betrayed them.
Looking at the three women beside him who were pretending to sleep with their eyes closed, Cao Xing pinched their cheeks one by one.
Then he chuckled and said: "It's dawn, it's time to get up."
Hearing this, Elisa was the first to jump out of bed.
"Wow! It's dawn!"
"Captain Elisa has another exciting day today!"
She grabbed the big bow beside the bed, Carrying it on his back.
At the same time, Rhaenys and Sarah also got out of the bed.
Then they each put on their wolf fur coats.
Look at their shy faces.
Elisa tilted her head and said with a smile: "I slept so comfortably last night!"
"Right, Sister Renes, Sister Sarah?"
The two women nodded sheepishly, "Well..."
"That's right, there is someone who keeps leaning towards the lord in the middle of the night..."
Elisa's face turned red, "Hey, hey, that's definitely not me."
Cao Xing looked speechlessly. He glanced at them and then said.
"Okay, everyone pack up and get ready to go out."
After hearing this, everyone quickly started taking action.
While the three women were washing.
Cao Xing saw Liu Muxue’s message.
The general content is that she has arranged work for the people.
And Assam and Assam continued to challenge the ‘Claws of Dolma’ according to yesterday’s teams.
In addition, the pet 'buoyant' chicken that he gave her yesterday has successfully broken through the third level, and is expected to break through the fourth level today.
After reading the content of the message, Cao Xing also had a smile on his face.
“Very good, everything is going on in the territory in an orderly manner, there is no need for me to worry.”
“You can go back after the things here are finished.”< br>
Cao Xing still has three things to do in the city today.
The first thing is to go to Earl Winston, hand over the four crooks to him, and then collect the reward.
The second thing is to go to the money shop and exchange these notes into money.
The third thing is to ask Jace to take him to see the so-called black market at night.
Of course, even if Cao Xing stays for a few more days, it will be fine, and the territory can still operate normally.
This also made him feel very gratified, as he felt that as his children grew up, he could gradually let go.
However, I came out this time to make money. If I have enough money, I will naturally go back as soon as possible to improve the level of the warriors.
At the same time, three women, including Rhaenys and Sarah, had finished washing.
Cao Xing said: "Let's go out."
After saying that, they walked out of the room together.
At the same time, in the corridor outside the door, 10 wild boar warriors escorting four crooks were waiting at the door.
At this moment, when I saw Cao Xing and three women coming out together, I was a little surprised.
But these wild boar warriors with straightforward personalities didn't think much about it and went forward to report.
"Lord, we are ready."
"Everything went well last night. These four guys were all closely guarded by us."
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, let's go."
After saying that, he led everyone out of the second floor of the tavern and came to the lobby on the first floor.
When Cao Xing walked towards the door.
The beautiful bard from last night was walking towards me with the lute in his arms.
She seems to have just come from outside.
The two met face to face.
She seems to be a blooming flower, quietly blooming with the fragrance of the morning.
Even those wild boar warriors who had no artistic ability subconsciously slowed down.
The bard looked at Cao Xing and saluted slightly.
Cao Xing also nodded slightly.
The two passed each other.
But when he was about to leave, Cao Xing suddenly said.
"If you have time today, I suggest you go to the medical clinic in the city and ask what the black-billed crow's poison is."
Hearing this, the bard behind him stopped, his beautiful face There was a puzzled look on his face.
It seems that even she doesn’t know what [Black-billed Crow’s Poison] is.
Before she could recover, Cao Xing had already led people out of the tavern.
The news has been brought. As for whether this woman will listen to Cao Xing, I don’t know.
at the same time.
There is already an attendant from the Woodpecker Chamber of Commerce waiting at the door.
The same young man who brought Cao Xing to the tavern yesterday.
After seeing Cao Xing, the attendant immediately said respectfully: "Lord Cao Xing, our President Jace asked me to tell you that he has already made arrangements."
" Just let me take you to Earl’s Palace.”
Cao Xing chuckled.
This Jace has arranged things very carefully.
It can be seen that he still attaches great importance to Cao Xing.
"Okay, you lead the way."
Under the leadership of this attendant, they quickly passed through the bustling streets and arrived at the central city.
This is also the most central area of the entire Melind City.
Ahead is a magnificent mansion!
Surrounded by tall black walls, with guards patrolling back and forth, the city is heavily guarded.
In the center, you can see a building more than ten meters high.
This is the Earl's Mansion, which is quite impressive.
And Cao Xing also discovered something interesting.
That is, whether it is the Duolun Lake City that I have been to before, or the current Melind City.
The center of their city is the Earl's Palace or the City Lord's Palace.
This layout is actually similar to the survivors’ territory.
They are all centered on the City Lord's Mansion or the Earl's Mansion, and then spread to the surrounding areas.
The difference is that there are no furnaces in these giant cities.
Cao Xing suppressed some unfounded speculations in his heart and looked forward.
At this time they had arrived at the gate of the Earl's Mansion.
The black and thick iron door is tightly closed, inlaid with golden rivets and gorgeous decorations.
There is a mark of a giant ape hanging in the center of the door, which is the emblem of the earl family.
Standing at the door were two guards wearing black armor and solemn expressions.
The attendant of the Woodpecker Chamber of Commerce stepped forward and said something. The two guards looked at Cao Xing and then at the soldiers behind him.
Then he said: "We have indeed been notified that there will be guests visiting Earl Winston today."
After saying that, the two guards turned around and opened the door. .
“Go in.”
And Cao Xing also took the guards around him and the four prisoners into the Earl's Mansion.
The system prompt appears.
[You have entered a special area: Earl Winston's Mansion]
[This area is a neutral area and the use of force is prohibited. If a battle occurs here, you will be subject to the entire Earl's Mansion. Wanted】
…
Looking ahead, a spacious courtyard came into view.
The courtyard is paved with neat stone slabs and surrounded by various cold-resistant plants, giving people a cold and serious feeling.
Cao Xing moved forward along the stone road at his feet.
Soon we came to the bottom of a magnificent building, which is also the core building of the entire Earl's Mansion.
There were also several guards standing at the door.
After seeing Cao Xing and others coming, the guards said: "Your soldiers can't be brought in."
Cao Xing nodded, and then ordered: "Wild boar warriors, take the four people with you." Wait outside."
After saying that, he took Renes and Elisa into the building.
After Sarah came out of the tavern, she was always in a state of stealth, and she was not aware of her presence at all.
Pushing open the door, a magnificent hall appeared inside.
There are also various gorgeous decorations inside.
A red carpet stretches from the door to the end of the line of sight.
Go all the way along the red carpet.
Cao Xing saw a figure with a big bald head and a thick animal skin coat, sitting lazily on a stool.
Glanced at his information.
[Earl: Winston Zachary]
[Strength: Ice Crystal Kingdom]
[Level: 47 (Level 5 Commander-level creature)]
…
…
Cao Xing's pupils moved slightly. This was actually a fifth-level commander-level strongman.
But it’s normal to think about it.
After all, as an earl and the lord of Melind City, it is not surprising that Winston has the strength of a fifth-level commander.
With his combat power, coupled with the knights in the city and the escorts, it is enough to maintain law and order in the entire Melind City.
However, Cao Xing noticed that something was wrong with the count's face.
The pupils are slightly sunken and the lips are a little white.
However, Cao Xing just looked at his attribute panel and found nothing unusual.
Earl Winston did not stand up, he still leaned on the chair and said casually.
"I heard that old boy Jace said that a special lord from another world wants to see me."
"What can I do for you?"
Cao Xing did not hesitate and said directly: "I heard that His Excellency the Earl is offering a reward for four liars. They are called Mark, Goodman, Dempsey, and Oona, right?"
Hearing this After hearing a few names, Winston, who was sitting in the big chair, suddenly opened his eyes.
There was also a hint of anger on his face!
"These four damn guys, I'm going to skin them!" the count said fiercely.
Then, he looked at Cao Xing and asked doubtfully: "Have you discovered them?"
Cao Xing shook his head, "No, I caught it for you."
"The person is outside, but he is guarded by my soldiers."
The Earl suddenly understood what he was talking about and turned to The door said: "Let them come in."
After saying this, several wild boar warriors came in pressing the four liars.
Seeing those familiar figures, Winston stood up from his chair.
He walked quickly in front of a few people, with a trace of anger on his face.
"Damn guys! Finally let me see you again!"
"You bastards, how dare you deceive this Earl!"
And your hands and feet were tied The four people had bitter looks on their faces. I felt even more regretful in my heart. Why had I lost my mind in the first place and gone to take advantage of this lord from another world?
Now he's fine. Not only did he catch nothing, but he was also escorted to the Earl's Mansion.
The thought of the future days in the hands of the earl made them feel despair.
At this moment, Winston also recovered after the initial anger.
He touched his shiny head, and an exaggerated smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He chuckled and said: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect... you would actually fall into my hands one day."
"I thought you guys had escaped from the Ice Crystal Kingdom and I would never be able to catch you in this life!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged liar named Mark among them had a look on his face. He said apologetically: "Your Excellency, we are sorry."
"But what you need to know is that we did not deceive you, we just failed in the investment."
"You know , the market is like this, with ups and downs.”
“As long as you give us another chance, I will definitely make your money back within three months, no, within one month!”< br>
When he heard this, Earl Winston's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Do you think I am a fool?"
"You cheated me of twenty million crowns and you want to cheat me again?"
At this time, Cao Xing was also shocked when he heard the number 20 million.
Good guy, this count is also very wealthy. He casually took out such a large sum of money and gave it to a few people he didn't know.
The middle-aged man said with a face full of fear: "My lord, I am really sorry!"
"Please forgive us once, and we will definitely work hard to pay you back."
The other three people also begged for mercy, and they knelt down together, kneeling on the ground like slaves.
"Lord Earl, we really know we were wrong."
"We can swear to the gods that we will definitely work hard to repay your money!"
"Please Forgive us..."
For a moment, the four of them burst into tears.
I used all the words I could think of, hoping to be forgiven by the count.
However, Winston looked at the four people kneeling on the ground, with a look of contempt flashing in his eyes.
“Do you think that what I care about is the 20 million?”
“What I care about is that you dare to deceive me. This is simply an insult to the Earl’s IQ and trampling on The dignity of our family!”
"As you know, the count's dignity cannot be violated."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the door and shouted.
“Soldier!”
Soon, several soldiers walked over quickly.
Winston waved his hand and said directly: "Lock these guys into the insect house and don't allow them to come out for three days and three nights."
Upon hearing this, the four people below suddenly stiffened, and then began to tremble uncontrollably.
They have all heard how terrifying the count's insect house is!
Ordinary people will die violently and miserably after staying there for less than half a day.
And they actually had to stay there for three days and three nights. This was simply more uncomfortable than killing them!
"Lord Earl, spare your life, I never dare to do it again!"
The woman also begged for mercy.
"My lord, please forgive me, I can use my body to serve you, please."
"..."
However, Wen Si There was indifference in Dun's eyes, completely ignoring their pleas for mercy.
Amidst the screams, all four crooks were taken away.
Winston seemed to have vented the bad breath in his heart, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
After a moment, a happy look reappeared on his face.
Then he looked at Cao Xing and said.
"Thank you so much..."
He seemed not to know how to address Cao Xing.
"My name is Cao Xing."
Winston suddenly said: "Thank you so much, Lord Cao Xing."
"Then, I will give you the reward of this bounty."< br>
Then, he looked at a small room behind him and said: "Melanie, go to the warehouse at the back and get two million crowns."
"Yes... sir..."< br>
There was a soft voice in my ears.
Soon, a tall woman with a net height of almost 1.9 meters walked in.
She was wearing a black low-cut dress. The upper body of the dress was tight-fitting and fitted tightly to her body, highlighting her hot figure.
The revealing clothes almost exposed half of her chest.
The lower body has a fluffy skirt, like a black lotus.
Every step he takes is full of charm.
Earl Winston looked at the woman walking gracefully with a look of doting and lust.
At this moment, Cao Xing was shocked.
Because, he has seen this woman.
Last time in Duolun Lake City, in that hidden cabin, the female night devil pretended to be dead!
Cao Xing sighed secretly in his heart: "Unexpectedly, this succubus actually escaped to Melinder City and lurked next to Earl Winston."
"And it seems that this Earl seems to know her. identity, but still kept her by his side.”
Looking at it this way, Winston’s pale face can be explained.
Cao Xing sighed with emotion: "I have heard before that those nobles have a lot of fun."
"I didn't expect that they are really not taboo about meat and vegetables and can accept anything. ”
However, the succubus did not recognize Cao Xing's identity.
Because last time in the night devil's hut, Cao Xing also used the disguise of a white-robed priest throughout the whole process.
Even those red-robed priests couldn't tell, let alone this succubus who was only over 20 levels.
Winston waved his hand and patted her perky buttocks.
"Melanie, give the box to Lord Cao Xing."
"Yes..."
This woman's voice was a little delicate, completely inconsistent with her tall figure.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, all the men present, including those wild boar warriors, felt a little hormonal.
Through her tight black dress, you can imagine the fiery figure under the clothes.
It makes people subconsciously want to hold this woman down and ravage her hard!
Cao Xing could only say that he was indeed a succubus.
But fortunately, they were very determined and did not express anything strange.
At this moment, the succubus walked up to Cao Xing, gently bent down, and handed the box to him.
Whether it was intentional or not, she deliberately got very close and showed her deep ravine in front of him.
Of course Cao Xing simply ignored it.
If this woman deliberately seduced him and the count saw her and used it to cause trouble, that would be ridiculous.
Cao Xing put the money box away without changing his expression and put it into his backpack.
[Obtained: Krona*2 million...]
...
With the things in hand, Cao Xing was not prepared to stay any longer.
At this moment, the earl had already hugged the succubus with one arm.
However, because he is about 1.6 meters tall, standing next to this succubus at this moment, he always feels a bit uncoordinated like a mother with a child.
His hands just happened to be placed on the succubus's perky buttocks.
This count, completely ignoring everyone present, kneaded the succubus named Melanie wantonly.
And Melanie kept making coquettish sounds.
Obviously, this count is also the kind of person who is greedy for pleasure and addicted to beauty.
But fortunately, before Cao Xing came in, he asked Renes and Elisa to cover their faces.
There were no bloody incidents that caused conflicts because of the beauties around them.
"Then, Your Excellency, let's take our leave first."
Just when Cao Xing was about to take people away.
But the earl said: "Wait a minute, I have something else to entrust you with."
Cao Xing turned his head and looked at him doubtfully.
The Earl said calmly: "During this period, many lords from other worlds came to Melind City. They often harassed my guards and the residents."
"Always I repeatedly asked the residents if they needed any help."
"The residents in the city have complained to me that the lords from other worlds have affected their lives."
"Even in my Earl's Mansion, there are often some lords from other worlds wandering around, and they even tried to sneak in many times."
The corner of Cao Xing's mouth twitched.
Obviously, this is what those sand sculpture players did.
In order to trigger various tasks, they can be said to have a lot of imagination and can do anything.
Cao Xing continued: "I am not that kind of person, and I have nothing to do with those people."
He distanced himself directly.
However, Winston waved his hand and said: "I know."
"I mean, it seems that you have outstanding abilities. Even liars like Goodman can do it." Bring it back to me, it's much better than those other world lords."
"So, I have a commission here that I want to give you."
Cao Xing's heart moved.
Is this... a triggered mission?
If other survivors knew that they had tried their best not to receive the mission.
As soon as Cao Xing came in, he triggered the count's mission, which probably made him angry to death.
But he did not accept it immediately, but said: "Your Majesty, please explain the content of the task first, and I will see if I have the ability first.
"If I am not capable enough, It’s not a good idea to waste your time. ”
He didn't explicitly say he wanted to refuse.
But I changed it to a euphemism.
Earl Winston didn’t care and said directly.
"It's not a difficult thing. I want you to help me find a weapon that I have used before."
"Weapon?"
Winston nodded, "Yes, that is a sword."
"It is also something my father left me. As an heirloom of our Zachary family, this weapon has extraordinary Meaning.”
“But, probably. Six years ago, I participated in an operation to hunt griffins."
"Everything was going well, and we were about to catch that group of griffons."
"The result. Suddenly a gryphon king came out halfway."
"This Griffin King is extremely powerful. Our entire knight order couldn't take it down, and several knights died."
"My family heirloom sword was also taken away by the Griffin King. , I can’t find it yet.”
“So, I want you to help me find it...”
At the same time, a system prompt appeared.
[Because your strength meets the requirements, a special event is triggered: Earl Winston’s commission]
[Commission content: Retrieve the lost family heirloom sword]
…
…
After hearing the task content, Cao Xing keenly grasped a keyword,' The Griffin King'.
Recently, he caught exactly four griffons in his territory, and planned to use this to find the griffin nests and catch them all.
The heirloom sword that Winston lost was taken away by the Griffin King.
Is that also in the griffin's nest?
