Chapter 515: Are you selling your ring?
The cold autumn wind has come to the Gordon Kingdom from the north. The sky is as blue as a mirror. Looking west from Cuifeng City, the golden wheat waves are slowly rising and falling in the autumn wind.

The farmers were working in the fields. 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 in the east.

Who knows when the enemies of the Archibald Kingdom and the Palo Federation will come here? The noble lords and knights in the territory all follow Prince Gerard to resist the enemy's invasion.

When will this war end?
Over the past six months, ordinary people in nearby areas no longer have to worry about the war spreading to their hometowns.

No one was in the mood to prepare for the autumn festival, which was to offer thanks to the Mother Goddess of the Earth for the good harvest.

Green Wind City, Mercenary Guild,

The first floor of a mercenary guild is usually the lobby of the 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, relaxing their tense nerves from completing missions.

The red flames from the fireplace in the hall kept licking the already black walls, dispelling some of the chill in the room and preventing the mercenaries who were drunk and started stripping and dancing from catching 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 of the Gordon Kingdom. The mellow yellow wine flowing in the crystal glass was as tempting as melted gold.

A bottle of this top-grade rye costs one hundred gold coins, and the 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 heads. The young figure sitting there seemed to bring invisible pressure to them.

Li Si didn't care about these. He was not killing time here, but waiting for players to come to him and join the White Dove Mercenary Group.

As for issuing and accepting commissions, it can be done directly in the players' system panel.

Moreover, Li Si was not bored sitting here.

Is there anything more joyful than watching the experience points continue to increase on the system panel?
In just a short while, the experience points provided by the players he recruited were enough to allow Li Si to reach the next level.

That’s hundreds of millions of experience points, and you can get them so easily!

Although this was also related to the fact that the leek field was wild and had never been harvested, the experience points they consumed in the skill store were also the most generous.

However, Li Si is not worried. As the players become stronger, they will gain experience faster and faster.

Li Si will also harvest leeks faster, and this is the case with the players in Port Danerlo.

Just as Li Si was enjoying the wine and the special snacks of the Gordon Kingdom, a manager of the Mercenary Guild walked up to Li Si and said respectfully:
"Mr. Li Si, I am sorry to bother you so much."

"If you don't mind, President Jim would like 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 with some surprise.

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 about?
"Okay, you lead the way!"

Li Si drank the rye wine in the glass in one gulp, stood up and said to the steward who was still bending over beside him.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged manager quickly stood up and led Li Si to the second floor.

Duoduo~

"Please come in."

The sound of a door being pushed open was heard, and the guild manager 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. It is luxurious yet low-key and profound.

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 so sorry to bother you. Please take a seat first."

Li Si didn't care and sat down casually.

Seeing this, the steward at the side left the room and closed the door gently, then stood guard at the door 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 even more haggard, with deep and dark eye sockets.

"Lord Li Si, there is such a thing."

Jim said to the boy in front of him with a wry smile on his face.

If possible, he didn't want to ask the boy in front of him for help.

But now the Lord of Greenwind City has followed Prince Gerard to the front line to resist the enemy's invasion, and he is also very troubled by such things happening 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".

The 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 greater the impact may be.

Under the current circumstances, Cuifeng City, as the logistics base of Gordon’s front-line army, must not allow chaos.

"Lord Li Si, I wonder if you know the Wright District?"

Jim paused slightly and looked at Li Si and said.

"do not know."

"Be direct, what's the matter?"

Li Si said neatly.

In his previous life, he had not been active in the Gordon Kingdom much, at most he was just passing by.

He only had a general idea of ​​the plot development of the 2.0 version of Gordon Kingdom.

He knew about Cuifeng City, but he was not sure about the specific areas involved.

During this period of time, he was busy preparing for the White Dove Mercenary Group and had no interest in learning about other things.

Could the expression of the guild leader in front of me be related to some special plot?

Seeing that Li Si was a little impatient, Jim said quickly:

"The Wright Block is located in the westernmost block of Green Wind City. The residents living there are all people with difficult lives."

"In a sense, that is also the slum area of ​​Green Wind City."

Li Si nodded slightly. Slums are very common places in a city.

Not to mention Cuifeng City, even in the capital of the Kingdom of Fes, Cangguang City, doesn’t there exist slums?

"Recently, residents in the Wright neighborhood have been missing from time to time."

Jim said in a deep voice:

"At first, only some beggars disappeared and no one noticed anything was wrong."

"But seven days ago, the city guards received a report that some residents had gone 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 collecting commissions from the Mercenary Guild for the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, he did find quite a few commissions for finding people.

However, the rewards for those commissions were not much, and they were not comparable to the war commissions of the Gordon Kingdom, so he did not care. Now that he thought about it, the number of those missing person commissions was indeed a bit too much.

And this situation always makes Li Si feel familiar.

"After the city guards searched in vain, they asked for help from the Church of the Earth and the Mercenary Guild because the Lord of Green Wind City was not in the city."

"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 signs of human sacrifice."

Tsk!
Li Si looked at Jim in front of him and felt a headache.

Why are they here again? The followers of the evil god are really restless!

But it is also true that if those followers of the evil god do not cause trouble when the war breaks out, they are not followers of the evil god.

Li Si held his forehead with his right hand and asked Jim:

"Have you found out which evil god's followers this was done to?"

He really couldn't just ignore this kind of thing.

Not to mention that he wants to establish the White Dove Mercenary Group in Cuifeng City to recruit players and needs to build a stable base. Cuifeng City is the most suitable area.

In addition, while the two special identities of [World Guardian] and [World Tree Favorer] bring him great power and strength, he also needs to fulfill corresponding responsibilities.

Although there is no mandatory requirement, Li Si is also happy to kill those believers of the evil god.

After all, this generally has very generous rewards.

Let's solve it as soon as possible, there is still a lot to do.

Li Si made a decision in his heart.

"unclear"

Jim said somewhat awkwardly.

"When the people from the Church of the Earth found that place, it had already been abandoned. The only thing we could tell from the traces left behind was that a sacrifice had taken 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 in the Church of the Earth are professionals.

"Nothing."

Jim shook his head, smiled bitterly and said:

"Other than that, there are no clues at all, but the number of residents in the Wright neighborhood who have disappeared has not stopped, and the number of missing people is increasing."

“Even though the Earth Church has deployed a lot of manpower in the Wright neighborhood, the situation has not improved.”

"That's it"

Li Si was also a little surprised. It was a bit exaggerated that even the people in the Church of the Earth could not find the believers of the evil god.

The followers of evil gods are often like rats hiding in the dark, and it is quite difficult to find them.

However, these evil god believers are a bit outrageous that they can continue to act under the intensive search of the Church of the Earth.

Although Li Si was not very clear about the plot and side quests in Cuifeng City during this period in his previous life, he knew that Cuifeng City had survived the war intact.

In other words, the plans of these evil god believers either failed or the impact they caused was not significant.

There is still some time, so it should be no problem to deal with these evil god followers and grab some rewards.

"So you asked me to come here just for this commission?"

Lees asked Jim.

"Yes."

Jim nodded and said solemnly:
"This situation has been reported to Prince Gerard at the front. When the prince arranges for people to come to help, he will also ask the mercenary guild to issue tasks to provide assistance."

"The first person I thought of was you."

"Don't you want to give your mercenary group more commissions with high rewards, and specifically state that there is no need to worry about danger?"

"Because of Prince Gerard's attention, the reward for this commission is the highest."

Jim said this, and he also had his concerns.

Although Li Si had already said that there was no need to worry about the danger, if his newly recruited mercenaries really suffered heavy casualties.
Therefore, 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, the impression left on him when he first met Li Si was a little too "deep".

"Okay, I see."

Li Si didn't care. It was just a commissioned task. However, this task was a little special and was related to the believers 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 compensation!

After confirming to accept the commission, Li Si walked down from upstairs.

When I was about to go back to the small table, I saw two people standing there waiting.

A dark-skinned player named "Heimaluo".

Player?
That's not surprising!

Li Si was used to these things in his previous life, but he still declined to take any interest in them.

As for the person standing next to this player, Li Si discovered 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, Heimalo pulled Blair over.

Blair looked somewhat helpless. He had just been negotiating prices with a merchant at the market when he saw Heimalo rushing straight towards him.

Then she grabbed his clothes tightly and begged me to go to a place with him. She looked like she was about to kneel down.

After all, he was a friend who had traveled with him for a while, and he had once saved his life. Although he was speechless, he still stopped negotiating the price and followed Heimalo to the Mercenary Guild.

He was just waiting bored when he saw a figure walking down from the second floor, and Heimalou dragged him to meet him.

"Lord Li Si!"

Heimala excitedly grabbed Blair tightly as if he was holding a big treasure and rushed to Li Si.

Li Si was still a little surprised and was about to say something when he saw a new prompt appear on the system panel.
-
Ding~
[Player [Heimalou] submitted a task to you! ]
[Reward Mission 8: [Find the Merchant Blair]

Mission requirements: Blair (1/1)]
[Do you want to settle the reward?]
[(whether)]--
('')
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 gaze shifted to Blair.

Indeed, I can vaguely see the shadow of that old man.
Li Si settled the mission reward for Heimalou without paying attention to the excited Heimalou, and said to Blair:

"It's nice to meet you, Blair."

"If possible, can you sell me the ring on your hand?"

Li Si pointed at the brass ring on Blair's hand and said with a smile.
