"Okay, that's it."
The few people sitting next to the bonfire did not wait too long. The voice belonging to Goldman appeared together with his figure in the darkness illuminated by the fire. Panting, he drank heavily first.
There was a burst of water, and then he raised the parchment roll in his hand towards the others: "They printed the fire seal, so they can only open it themselves - these are the new tasks we can confirm."
"Is this all the missions?" Asahi Dongsheng, who came closer from the side, also opened his eyes wide: "It must be such a mysterious mission, right?"
"It's not too grand, but it does seem a little more important than the task we completed today." Helplessly putting away his actions, Goldman patted the parchment and replied in a low voice: "That Humo
Bei also said that as long as we can complete these new tasks, they will definitely reward us generously."
"Really? Let me see." He grabbed the parchment roll that Gedman had just displayed here, and Asahi Dongsheng's impatient expression became more obvious: "Clean up the threat, clean up
Threats, and clearing obstacles...Why are they all tasks like this?"
"Cleaning up the threats...?" Unlike the doubts written on Asahi Dongsheng's face at this time, Duan Qing, who also looked at these words, sounded deeper again: "Although the specific threats were not stated
What it is, but it’s definitely different from previous hunts, right?”
"That's right, these so-called 'threats' are definitely not enemies like ordinary jackals and beasts." Touching his chin, Xue Ling Huan Bing's cold eyes also lowered: "
We might become mercenaries, the kind who help others fight."
"What, what weird things did you come up with during my absence?" Gedman, who curled his lips, kicked Chao Ri Dongsheng away, who was still playing with the scroll: "Does the Hulun tribe want to
There was a war?”
"It's hard to say yet, it's just more likely." After giving such an answer, Xue Ling Huan Bing couldn't help but return his gaze to Duan Qing: "Of course, this magician also has some different opinions.
, it sounds very reasonable, so——”
"Hey, there is no conflict between the two, right?" Duan Qing, who raised his lips, interrupted the white-haired woman with an angry voice: "Invasion for resources is also aggression, but for other reasons
Aggression is also aggression, and there will be no difference in the outcome of a war."
"Could it be that those lies that Asahi Dongsheng mentioned before have come true?" Gedman, who looked back and forth at the two people, asked suddenly: "These so-called threat elimination missions, are they actually true?"
Is it also used to clean up the scouts?"
"Cleaning up threats is the preliminary preparation for launching a war." Duan Qing nodded and replied in a cautious tone: "Originally, we were still thinking about what other clues could prove this, but we didn't expect you.
The 'evidence' was brought back so quickly."
"Not necessarily, after all, we don't know what the so-called 'threat' is yet." Waving his hand, Duan Qing pulled away the heavy atmosphere gathered around the bonfire: "Everything must be confirmed in reality.
Later—well, you guys shouldn’t have any objections, right?"
"Of course I have no objection, I've accepted them all!" Asahi Dongsheng, who was still playing with the scroll, jumped up and spoke first: "I happen to have very itchy hands recently, please give me the task with the most battles!"
"Don't worry, these tasks are still beyond what the four of us can afford." Xueling Huanbing on the side sighed and took the scroll: "And unlike the ordinary daily tasks we completed today, these tasks involve combat.
It's definitely not something we can handle alone. If we continue to divide our forces to fight -"
"I suggest we divide our forces to fight." Duan Qing on the side added his own voice again: "Since we are helping to clean up the threats in the surrounding area, these tasks will definitely not be left entirely to outsiders like us. The Hulun people will certainly
They will send their own troops to these places, and we are just accompanying them."
"Unless they don't care about our life or death at all." His voice paused for a moment, and the next sentence that came out again made other players present frown at the same time: "If these guys want to use our lives in exchange for these
If we have regional intelligence, it is possible to send these missions to us without paying any attention."
"In this case, we will not be able to divide our troops. If the enemy is really too strong, we will not be able to complete the mission at all."
"What are you afraid of? Isn't it the worst possible outcome? As long as you conceal it well enough, hanging it back will only make us deliver information faster."
"Read the words written above clearly. Our mission is to 'eliminate threats', not to 'detect threats'. What's the use of just coming back with the enemy's intelligence? They will definitely not count us as passing in this way, nor will they
We will be rewarded for any task."
"We may not get any mission rewards, but we can definitely get the relevant reputation. Don't they just want strategic information? As long as they can bring all this information back..."
The air around the campfire became louder and louder as the discussion became more intense, and at the same time, Duan Qing had no choice but to push back what he originally wanted to say. With a wry smile, he ignored the people who were still arguing with each other.
He returned his gaze to the sheepskin scroll in front of him: "...Huh?"
"It seems there is another mission."
Pointing to the bottom of the scroll, his voice was full of wonder: "Looking for the lost woman... a missing person notice? We can actually encounter a missing person notice?"
"If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot." He also stopped the discussion, scratched his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes, there is indeed such a daily task. When I saw it at first
I also feel very confused, but when Hu Mobei introduced me, he also specifically pointed out the missing person notice."
"He said this was just a task given to us by the way, and it doesn't matter if we don't do it."
He pointed at the scrawled and random words, as if he was imitating the way the middle-aged gray-white man spoke when he told him: "But if any clues about this missing woman are found in the next time -
—”
"Please tell us as soon as possible."
*******************************
I don't know if they were aware of the tense atmosphere around this settlement. The passage of time for Duan Qing and others seemed to have accelerated a lot during the night. After a brief rest, they also followed the arrival of another morning.
They set out according to the action plan discussed the night before. After the final fierce debate, the four people belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group finally chose to split up to handle these advanced tasks, but in order to ensure their own safety
and the success rate of completing the mission, they still tried their best to analyze every location of these "threats" in detail.
"The edge of the corner in the northeast, the seaside direction in the east, the Southern Road, and the area around the hills along the Southern Road... Well, the strategic location is quite important."
"But it's almost all open grassland, and all the terrain can be seen at a glance - can this kind of place really hide people?"
"Don't forget the underground ruins we have entered before. Since the ancients learned how to dig holes to hide people, why can't modern people do the same?"
"And they don't need to hide anyone, because the mission given by the Hulun tribe did not mention what the threat is. Considering the hidden existences that we have encountered before that can control those beasts, these unknown threats may
Maybe it was planted secretly by that tribe..."
"Forget it, let you make your own judgment."
Duan Qing, who was walking between the tents, waved his hand and waved away the noisy voices that were still lingering in his mind. The gray-robed figures who looked around were also shuttled around him in countless numbers.
The figure sighed deeply, and finally raised the information recorded in his adventurer's handbook in front of him again: "I won't be allowed to fight, and I won't be responsible for investigation... Really, you look down on me so much.
My fighting ability?"
"And I have to be responsible for this missing person mission?" His eyes wandered over the words he had written down for a long time, and the helplessness in his eyes became more and more obvious: "That's it.
Do you look down on people? Am I just like the kind of logistics uncle who looks after the gate?"
"Uncle in front, please give way." Immediately behind him, a tribal girl pushing a wooden cart shouted: "Where are the foreigners from? Block the way and block them somewhere else."
"Ah, I'm sorry."
Duan Qing, who nodded and bowed to give up his position, watched the tribesman disappear into the crowd and then slowly put away his smiling expression: "Okay, it's better to talk less nonsense. I'll wait for you."
Complete this mission as quickly as possible and see how I can ridicule those guys who like to steal missions... Hmm."
"It should be right here."
The muttering sound came to the place between two tents, one large and one small, close to each other as they marched leisurely. Duan Qing, who was holding the adventurer's manual, stopped in his tracks. He raised his head and compared the two tents.
Looking at the tent in front of him and the target location he wanted to find, he finally cautiously stretched out his hand and pulled the rope used to call the door: "Hello, is there anyone there?"
"Who?" The sound of breaking wind lifting the door curtain was followed by the faint sound of bells, and a tribal man with disheveled hair and somewhat disheveled clothes appeared directly in front of Duan Qing. He stuck out his head in a dull voice:
"What?"
"Well, I'm here to look for someone." Duan Qing, who seemed to be frightened by the attitude of the man in front of him, then pointed to his adventurer's manual and asked in a low voice: "A person named Naxia
Female, about one meter sixty-seven meters tall...er, no, in here terms she should be nearly two miles tall, wearing——"
"I haven't seen it." Before Duan Qing could finish his words, the man said coldly: "Let's go."
"Huh? Hey, wait a minute." Looking at the scene of the tribal man retracting his head into the tent, Duan Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Shouldn't this person be your daughter?
How could you not have seen it? I just wanted to come over and inquire about the specific situation——"
"If I say I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it. I don't have anything to tell you!" He opened the door curtain in front of him again, and the man pushed Duan Qing back in a more blunt and irritable tone: "I want to inquire.
Find out about it elsewhere! Otherwise - wait."
"What did you say that woman's name was?"
Rolling his eyes full of hostility, the man suddenly asked as if he had just reacted. Duan Qing, who was stunned again by the change in the other person's attitude, also stopped retreating and subconsciously turned the manual over.
The first message recorded on the phone was read again: "Na, Nasia, what's wrong?"
"Nashia?" He repeated the words under his breath, and the tribesman asked in a low voice that was so low that he couldn't hear it: "Is it Nady Brünnhilde Cynthia?"
"——What? You repeat it again?" Duan Qing gradually widened his eyes and asked in an exclamation voice: "Is this her real name?"
"Since you don't even know the name, it seems I have nothing more to tell you." Looking at the other person's face coldly, the man from the tribe replied in an indifferent voice: "Let's go and don't come back again."
Bother me."
"No, no, no, give me another chance." He stopped the other party's attempt to retract his head again, and Duan Qing's eyes that lit up again were filled with strange brilliance: "I am an adventurer from the north.
, we don’t know much about the Hulun tribe and the situation within the tribe, but we are an adventure group that specializes in dealing with various difficult and complicated diseases, and we are very good at solving problems."
"This search is also a task specially entrusted to us by your elder, Mr. Hu Mobei. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." The magician in gray robe covered his chest: "If you still lack trust in us,
Then just give us some opportunities so that we can prove our abilities."
"Elder Hu Mobei." He broke free from the pulled wrist, and the tribal man's voice was full of doubt when he spoke again: "Did he send you here?"
"Yes, yes." The confident expression turned into a complimenting dry smile in the next moment. Duan Qing, with his hands folded, hurriedly got in front of the other party again: "Please forgive me for my previous series of rude behaviors, but I am also
This is just to find your daughter as soon as possible, please forgive me for the sake of the elder, please forgive me."
"She is not my daughter." After interrupting Duan Qing's words, the tribal man's voice was filled with indifference again: "That bastard who doesn't know where he came from -"
"If she wants to leave, then let her go."
