Chapter 515: Are You Selling Your Ring?
The cold wind of autumn has come to the Gordon Kingdom from the north. The sky is blue and clear. Looking west from Green Wind City, the golden wheat waves are slowly rising and falling under the blowing of the autumn wind.
The farmers are working in the fields. Although this year is a bumper harvest, there is no joy on their faces. Instead, they look up from time to time to look at the rolling hills of Eli Hills in 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 follow Prince Gerald to resist the invasion of the enemy.
When will this war end?
For more than half a year, ordinary people in the nearby areas have not been worried about the spread of war to their hometowns.
Even the autumn festival to thank the Mother Goddess of the Earth for the harvest, no one is in the mood to prepare.
Green Wind City, Mercenary Guild,
The first floor of the Mercenary Guild is generally the hall of the Mercenary Guild, where mercenaries choose and receive commissions, and also communicate with each other.
Therefore, the first floor of most mercenary guilds is arranged as a tavern. Mercenaries like to gather here to drink and chat, and relax their nerves that have been tense in completing tasks.
The red flames in the fireplace in the hall kept licking the dark walls, dispelling the chill in the room, so that those mercenaries who started stripping and dancing after getting drunk 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 most famous rye wine in the Gordon Kingdom. The mellow yellow wine flowing in the crystal wine glass was as tempting as melted gold.
This top-grade rye wine costs 100 gold coins per bottle, and mercenaries can't 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 in other places couldn't help but lower their figures. The young figure sitting there seemed to bring them invisible pressure.
Li Si didn't care about these. He wasn't killing time here, but waiting for players to come to him to join the White Dove Mercenary Group.
As for issuing and accepting commissions, they can be done directly in the players' system panel.
Moreover, Li Si was not bored sitting here.
What could be happier than watching the increasing experience points on the system panel?
In just a short while, the experience points provided by the players he recruited have allowed Li Si to upgrade to another level.
That's hundreds of millions of experience points, and they got 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 store are also the most generous.
However, Li Si is not worried. When the players become stronger, they will gain experience faster and faster.
Li Si will also harvest leeks faster, which is the case with the players in Danerluo Port.
Just as Li Si was enjoying the wine and the special snacks of the Gordon Kingdom, a steward of the Mercenary Guild came to Li Si and said respectfully:
"Mr. Li Si, I am 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 wants to see me?"
Li Si shook the wine glass in his hand, looking at the golden wine shining in the light, and said 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 reached, what else does the president want to see him for?
"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 bending over.
"Yes!"
The middle-aged steward quickly stood up and led Li Si to the second floor.
Duoduo~
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the steward of the guild took Li Si into a room in the corner of the second floor.
The decoration here is completely different from that in the hall below. The decoration is luxurious and low-key.
The old man sitting on the sofa in the room saw Li Si, and quickly stood up and said with a smile:
"Mr. Li Si, I'm really sorry to bother you. Please sit down first."
Li Si didn't care and sat down casually.
The steward on the side saw this, left the room and gently closed the door, and then 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, he looked even more haggard at his old age, and his eye sockets were dark.
"Lord Li Si, there is such a thing."
Jim said to the young man in front of him with a bitter smile on his face.
If possible, he didn't want to ask the young man in front of him for help.
But now the Lord of Green Wind City has followed Prince Gerald to resist the invasion of the enemy on the front line, and he is also very troubled by such a thing in the city.
When the young man in front of him came to him to cooperate, he really gave him a little "small shock".
The people of the Earth Church have been investigating for a long time, but there has been no result.
The longer the time is delayed, the harder it will be to cover up, and the impact may be greater and greater.
Under the current circumstances, Cuifeng City, as the logistics base of the front-line Gordon Army, must not be in chaos.
"Lord Li Si, do you know the Wright District?"
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, it was just some beggars who disappeared, 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, 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 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 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 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 there is no mandatory requirement, Li Si is quite happy to kill those evil god believers.
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 Church of the Earth and the followers of the evil god has been going on for a long time, and the people of the Church of the Earth 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 god are often just 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 intensive 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?"
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."
Jim said that 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.
So, Jim still wanted to say hello to Li Si first, so that any problems in the future would have nothing to do with the Mercenary Guild.
After all, when he first met Li Si, he left a "deep" impression on him.
"Okay, I understand."
Li Si didn't care. It was just a commissioned task, but this task was a little special and was related to the evil god believers.
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 would accept the commission, Li Si walked down from upstairs.
When he was about to return to the small table before, he saw two people standing by and waiting.
A dark player with the name "Heimalou".
Player?
That's not strange!
Li Si was used to these things in his previous life, but he was still indifferent to these things.
As for the person standing next to this player, Li Si found that he was not a player, but an ordinary person.
But for some reason, Li Si felt that this person looked familiar.
Seeing Li Si coming over, Heimalou dragged Blair over.
Blair looked helpless. He was just negotiating with the merchants in the market when he saw Heimalou rushing towards him.
Then he grabbed his clothes tightly and begged him to go to a place with him. He almost knelt down.
After all, he was a friend who had traveled with him for a while and had saved his life. Although he was a little speechless, he stopped negotiating and followed Heimalou to the mercenary guild.
He was waiting for boredom, and then he saw a figure coming down from the second floor, and Heimalou dragged him to meet him.
"Master Li Si!"
Heimalou excitedly grabbed Blair tightly as if he was holding a big baby, 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 on the system panel.
——
Ding~
[Player [Heimalou] submitted a task to you! ]
[Bounty Mission 8: [Find Merchant Blair]
Mission Requirements: Blair (1/1)]
[Deal with the Reward? ]
[(Yes/No)]——
('')
Wow!
There are actually players who can complete the reward mission he issued? !
What good luck!
Li Si looked at the information refreshed on the system panel in surprise, and his eyes moved to Blair.
Indeed, he could vaguely see the shadow of the old man
Li Si settled the mission reward for Heimalou, and ignored the excited Heimalou, 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.
