Chapter 515: Will you sell your ring?
The cold wind of autumn has arrived in the Kingdom of Gordon from the north, and the sky is as blue as water. Looking to the west from Cuifeng City, the golden wheat waves 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 and looked at the rolling hills of the Eli Hills to the east.
Who knows when the enemies of the Archibald Kingdom 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 is in the mood to prepare for the autumn festival to offer thanks to the Mother Earth for the harvest.
Cui Feng City, Mercenary Guild,
The first floor of the Mercenary Guild is usually the hall of the Mercenary Guild, where mercenaries choose and receive entrusted tasks, and at the same time, they 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 sat there alone enjoying the wine, 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 is 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 harvest leeks faster, which is the case for the players at Dan'erluo Port.
While Li Si was enjoying the 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."
"President is looking for me?"
Li Si He 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 have to ask him for?
"Okay, you lead the way!"
Li Si drank all the rye in the glass in one gulp, stood up and said to the steward who was still bending down.
“Yes!”
The middle-aged steward quickly stood up and led Li Si up to the second floor.
Duo Duo~
"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 care. , sit 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.
"Master Li Si, there is such a thing."
Jim showed a wry smile on his face and said to the young man in front of him.
If possible, he would not ask the young man 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 cover it up, and the possible impact will become greater and greater.
Under the current circumstances, Cuifeng City, which is the logistics base of Gordon's army on the front line, must not cause chaos.
"Lord Lis, I wonder if you know about Wright Street?"
Jim paused slightly, looked at Li Si and said.
“I don’t know.”
“Let’s be direct, what’s going on?”
Li Si said neatly.
In his previous life, he had not been much active in the Gordon Kingdom. At most, he was just passing 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 period, he was busy preparing for the White Pigeon Mercenary Group, and he had no interest in learning about other things.
Is the expression on the face of the guild leader in front of me 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."< br>
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 in the Wright neighborhood have disappeared from time to time.”
Jim said in a deep voice:
“At the beginning, only some beggars were missing, and no one found anything wrong.”
“But seven days ago, the city guards received a report that there were already residents The number of people missing in the Wright neighborhood is 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, because 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 Church of the Earth intervened, they discovered something was wrong."
"In a basement in the Wright neighborhood, they found traces of life sacrifices."
Tsk!
Li Si looked at Jim in front of him and had a headache.
Why are you here again? The followers of the evil god are so restless!
But yes, if those evil god believers don't cause trouble when the war breaks out, then they are not evil god believers.
Li Si put his right hand on his forehead and asked Jim:
"Have you found out which believer of the evil god you did it to?"
He still did this kind of thing? I really can't ignore it.
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, and 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 there is no mandatory requirement, Li Si is quite happy to kill those followers of the evil god.
After all, this usually comes with huge rewards.
Let’s solve it as soon as possible, there is still a lot to do.
Li Si made a decision in his heart.
"I don't know"
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 the sacrifice that took place a week ago.”
“After that Are there any other clues? "
Li Si then asked, the confrontation between the Earth Church and the followers of the evil god has been going on for a long time, and the people of the Earth Church are professionals.
"No more."
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 still More and more."
"Even though the Earth Church has deployed a lot of people in the Wright neighborhood, the situation has not 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 god are often rats hiding in the dark, and it is indeed very difficult to find them.
However, these evil believers are a bit outrageous as they can continue to act despite the intense search by the Church of the Earth.
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 god believers either failed in their plan, or the impact was not great.
There is still some time, it should be no problem to deal with these evil god believers and collect a wave of rewards.
“So you came to me just for this commission?”
Li Si 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, It’s you.”
“Don’t you want to receive more high-reward commissions for your mercenary group, and specifically stated that you don’t have to worry about danger?”
“Because of Jellal? The reward for this commissioned task is the highest due to the prince’s attention.”
Jim said this, and he also had his worries.
Although Li Si has already said that there is no need to worry about danger, if his newly recruited mercenaries really suffer heavy casualties.
So, Jim still wants to say hello to Li Si first, and if there is any problem in the future, he will contact the mercenary guild. It’s irrelevant.
After all, when he first met Li Si, the impression left on him was a bit too "deep".
"Okay, I understand."
Li Si didn't care. 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 that he had accepted the commission, Li Si walked down the stairs.
When I was about to return to the small table, I saw two people standing aside waiting.
A dark player, with the name "Is He Black?"
A player?
That’s not surprising!
Li Si was not surprised by these things in his previous life, but he himself was still insensitive 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 man 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 the black man and rushed towards him.
Then she held on to his clothes tightly, begging herself to go to a place with him. She 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 Mo 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!"
Hairy grabbed Blair tightly like a big treasure and rushed in front of 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 task 8: [Looking for businessman Blair]
Task requirement: Blair (1/1)]
[Should the reward be settled? ]
[(Y/N)]——
('')
Wow!
Is there really a player who can complete the reward mission he posted? !
What a good luck!
Li Si looked at the information refreshed on the system panel in surprise, and his eyes moved to Blair.
You can indeed vaguely see the shadow of the old man
Li Si conveniently settled the task reward for Hei Mo, and ignored Hei Mo in excitement, and said to Blair:
< br>"Nice to meet you, Blair."
"If possible, could you sell me the ring on your hand?"
Li Si pointed to the brass ring on Blair's hand and said with a smile.
