After passing through the side door and turning a few more corners, Duan Qing followed the footsteps of the Salted Fish King and came to the back of the bar.
The smell of alcohol mixed with food still fills every corner here, but compared to the noisy bar in front, this place no longer has the smell of sweat brought about by the crowds of people, and the odor caused by the constant fighting of pVp enthusiasts.
The smell of blood came. Taking this opportunity to look around, Duan Qing discovered that this place still existed and was different from the lobby of the previous bar.
"There seem to be hidden people around." He said to Mengzhu quietly.
"Ah? Where, where..."
"Shh, don't look around, it will cause misunderstandings." Duan Qing warned loudly, but continued to move forward calmly on the surface. Based on his many years of experience, this gray area should have been tightly guarded to ensure that
The security of some shady transactions, but such guards are usually in the open. There may be some other hidden guards, but the guards on the open side are necessary.
Otherwise, it will not deter people who come to visit.
Judging from Duan Qing's secret observation, there are not many guards hiding in the corner, only three or five at most, but they are all hidden very deep. If Duan Qing was not familiar with such a place, even
He wouldn't even notice those breathing sounds that were so suppressed that there was almost no fluctuation.
But then, these things became minutiae.
"You're finally here."
Pushing open the door of a room on the second floor of the bar, Duan Qing and Mengzhu were led into the room. A man wearing black stiff clothes sat on a seat in the corner and said to these two people with a smile.
: "I'm still thinking, how long will you make me wait..."
"Are you Wiesel?"
"If I'm not mistaken, yes." The man showed an evil smile, then stood up from his seat: "At the same time, he is the person in charge here."
He put a stack of pages in his hand under his arm, walked up to Duan Qing, and stretched out a hand: "I'm very happy that you finally found this place and found me."
"When we were in Greenstone Village, Uncle Valar once..." Duan Qing shook hands with him, and then touched his nose with some embarrassment.
"Yeah, that guy Valar has already gone so far. Now that I think about it, it's really... ironic." The man wanted to take something out of his arms, and then it seemed like he suddenly thought of it.
He touched his forehead with some embarrassment: "But he is very well, so I feel relieved. Recently, he even asked someone to bring me a message, asking me how I was doing and how Ralph was doing.
How is the war situation in the principality, and..."
He paused for a moment, then looked at the two people in front of him with incomprehensible eyes: "Ask how you two are doing..."
Duan Qing smiled sheepishly, then lowered his head.
"In my expectation, you would come to me immediately after arriving in Fenghua Town. I didn't expect that it would take so long for you to come." Wiesel began to complain, but there was something in his calm voice that could not be heard.
Showing no hint of dissatisfaction: "But you are here after all. This shows that an old guy like me is of some use after all."
"We don't mean that." Duan Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "We are just... a little busy, so..."
"So you just forgot about me, right?" The other party blinked, and then smiled with some understanding: "He is indeed a young adventurer, so motivated..."
He took a step back and took out the pile of things from his armpit again: "Then let me take a look at what you have been busy with recently... um."
"Your names appear on the registration form of Fenghua Town... Then there are the Adventurers Association, the Mages Council, the 'Sparkling Star Flower'... Wow——"
He raised his head and glanced at the two of them: "You... had a conflict with Mr. Finson, and then you were detained in the town hall for a while..."
"That was an accident." Hiding the surprise in his eyes, Duan Qing replied, "We were released later."
"Yes, yes, your conflict seems to have no consequences. It ended happily like this. As for this result, it is really not very satisfactory." Wiesel did not look at the other party's expression at all and continued to let himself go.
His eyes swept up and down: "Then you... find someone to set up an adventure group with Richard... tsk tsk, look at this list."
"The Salted Fish King is actually one of the members." He raised his head and looked at the man standing by the door in surprise. The latter smiled bitterly and replied: "Yes, boss."
"Your adventure group must have a bright future." Wiesel gave a thumbs up, and then continued to look at the paper in his hand: "It seems... that is indeed the case."
"In the following days, you were very active, carrying, caring, looking for people, collecting, and finally even participated in the routine training in Fenghua Town... That guy Kidd seems to be thinking about you more.
"." Wiesel turned a page: "Then... you went to Blue Mountain Village. It is said that... you are going to the Ankaras Mine."
"As far as I know, that place is not very... peaceful." He patted the paper in his hand and commented casually.
"Well, it's really not peaceful enough." Duan Qing began to sweat beads on his face.
"You came back one day later, and then started to contact many forces." Wiesel withdrew his observation gaze and continued to read the information in his hand: "You met Richard, Rama, and went to
Went to the Mages Council once... Oh, I think I also went to the library once this morning?"
He finally showed a surprised look: "You... are still related to those gang of magicians?"
"If having a chance relationship counts as a relationship...yes."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you know so many people... Counting me, there is only one warrior family left on this continent." Wisel, who had short hair, put down his hand.
information, and focused on the two people again: "I heard that you are still related to two of the seven-member council..."
"Okay, okay, we know that your magical powers are vast, Mr. Wiesel." Duan Qing interrupted the other party's seemingly endless leaks, because the man in front of him seemed to really know everything. If he was allowed to
If this continues, there is no guarantee that he will report the situation when he first entered the game.
Although he was also very curious about whether this person knew it and how he knew it.
"We have all noticed your recent activity here. In the latest report, we even raised the level of attention of your 'Fool's Adventure Group' to D level." Wiesel said: "So you are here
We know more or less the purpose of the trip..."
Are you sure you only know one? Duan Qing cursed.
"But then again, your goals are consistent with our recent plans to a certain extent. So..."
"That's why we met you so smoothly, right?"
"Oh, we are not so unkind... but this situation does make the conversation between us more... pleasant."
A man dressed in black suddenly appeared from the shadow on one side. He quickly came to Wisel's side and whispered something. Wisel's brows wrinkled slightly, and then he answered in a low voice.
Something.
Unexpectedly, the whispers continued like this.
Under the gazes of Duan Qing and Mengzhu, Wiesel's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally they simply knitted into a ball. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said a few words, and then waved his hand.
Let the man who looked like one of his men walk out.
"It seems...the situation has indeed changed."
Wiesel put away the information in his hand: "Let's keep the story short. Who do you want to find? Gorzi? Spurrier? Or Tepp?"
"A man named Feeney." Duan Qing, vaguely feeling that something bad had happened, replied quickly: "That man may be...a bandit or something like that, or maybe not. Anyway, he has something wrong with him."
There may be some information we need or something..."
Realizing that he couldn't go on, Duan Qing opened his mouth, and finally just added: "Anyway, it's all my guess."
"Based on our trust and respect for Val, we won't talk about unnecessary things like expenses." Virgil's answer was straightforward: "But I'm sorry about this so-called Feeney...
.”
"We have never heard of this character."
"No way!" Duan Qing was shocked: "You just reported a bunch of names that I have never heard of, and you know them clearly even for unknown people like us, but in the end you don't know a famous person.
Maybe people who live in Fenghua Town all year round..."
"Don't belittle yourself too much, young man." Wiesel raised his hands: "Also, we, the Shadow Society, are not gods, so we cannot know everything."
"Fenghua Town has existed here for hundreds of years. There are countless people and things. It's normal for there to be people we haven't found. This... we never deny it." Walking to the room.
In the corner, Wiesel reached out and lifted a cloth bag: "And the most important thing is: the accuracy of the name."
Sure enough, it was this thing... Duan Qing covered his forehead with his hands, and once again raised his eyebrows because NPCs in the free world always tampered with their names.
"The person you are looking for...may be a pseudonym, may have changed his name, or may...be a fictitious character." Wiesel continued: "If you can provide more information,
With more information, whether it's his appearance, his characteristics, or who knows him... we might be able to find him better."
That's right! It was the name Yasiqi mentioned before he died. If we start looking for Yasiqi, we might have a breakthrough - Mengzhu, who was standing silently by the side, suddenly thought of these and looked lustful.
She hesitated and wanted to remind her companions, but after a while, the man next to her still didn't take this as a clue, leaving the girl with golden braids puzzled.
Impossible, I can imagine it. There is no way this cunning uncle can't think of it...
"...Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Wiesel." At the end of the day, Duan Qing just gave up: "If we have more clues, we will provide them to you."
"That's right, that's right." Wiesel clapped his hands: "I like to deal with people who know things immediately. Val once said that you are very... smart. It's really not a lie."
"Thank you for the compliment." Duan Qing replied: "But we are just some...insignificant adventurers. We really cannot afford such praise..."
The two exchanged a few words casually, and Duan Qing expressed his willingness to leave. Since the other party seemed to have important matters to deal with, and the organization could not help him find people, there was no reason to stay.
After coming down, the short-haired man in a straight dress finally told the two of them that if you have any other requests, feel free to come to him. As long as it is not an excessive request, anything... can be discussed.
It was a good time to get together and part ways.
"Uncle, why didn't you..." It wasn't until she left that depressing place that Mengzhu cautiously raised her doubts.
The other party just glanced at him and did not answer immediately: "Let's go back to the Adventurers Association first."
Amid the mountain breeze and flying catkins blowing together, the two people walked on the winding streets of Fenghua Town. Shadowy passers-by kept passing by them, and the two people hurried on without saying a word until the girl couldn't help it.
, Duan Qing, who was looking at the scenery at the bottom of the mountain, said slowly: "I have a vague awakening..."
"That Feeney may be the key to a series of things."
In Mengzhu's puzzled eyes, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction on the mountainside - the town hall of Fenghua Town stood vaguely in that direction. Looking from a distance, the door of the building was still crowded with people, and
There seemed to be more people than before.
"Under our witness, Yasiqi died in an unexpected way. Hey, don't look at me with that look. What matters to me is not the physical way he died, but the way he died...
..reason."
"Why was he trapped and killed in the mine like this? If we hadn't received Nina's commission, would he have died unknown to anyone?"
"Because of Nina's relationship, we know these things, and because of Nina's relationship, our Fool Adventure Group is now at the center of the storm." Duan Qing whispered: "At least I am now...
Such a feeling.”
"Is the situation... as serious as yours?"
"My feeling has always been very accurate." Duan Qing sighed: "Especially when it comes to understanding bad news. This is what the legend says - good things don't work but bad things work."
"That Visser just now not only wanted us to be a free provider of information, but also showed great interest in Yaschi's whereabouts during his insinuations. Didn't you see? He was very interested in us in the situation.
The experience of Fenghua Town is clear, but as a result, I know very little about what happened in the Ankaras mine, and then I just brushed it off, which is... unscientific."
"Either he really doesn't know and wants us to come out on our own. Or... he wants to test out something else."
"Now, apart from a few of us, the only people who know that Yasiqi is dead are old Norman and... Mayor Rama, who we accidentally let slip. Oh, by the way, there are also
There is Aqiang and his group... In short, even the Shadow Society we took the initiative to find wanted to know about Yasiqi. It is hard for me to imagine... If someone really got that Fei
The things on Ni’s body, this matter..."
He suddenly stopped and stretched out his arms towards the sky on the side of the mountain road, making an embracing gesture: "What will happen to this beautiful town?"
The girl's face was already quite ugly.
"Then... if we don't rely on anything, wouldn't it be more difficult... on our own?"
"We are alone, at least that old Norman knows about it." Duan Qing touched his nose: "Although we didn't want to tell him..."
"It's you."
"Okay, okay, it's me. In short, I still believe in the Mages Council. As for the other people... let's investigate first."
As they continued to move forward, the town hall of Fenghua Town was already in sight. Since they saw this building, it meant that they were not far from the Adventurers Association.
"Next...what is our goal?"
"What else could it be... Of course we are looking for that Fini." Duan Qing said: "And if possible, it would be best... to get there before everyone else."
