"Gray Crow, these are the equipment and items you pledged."
The village chief smiled and took out a staff and a blueprint from the cabinet.
Emerald Staff [Level 2 Treasure]: Phoebe staff inlaid with alexandrite, mana value +20, magic power +1, skill: Wind Blade.
Wind Blade: Shoots a wind blade to attack the enemy.
Storm Crow's Nest [Level 2 Building Blueprint]: A level 2 marine building that can recruit the level 2 unit Storm Crow.
Gray Crow's debt was resold by the Traveling Merchant Alliance to the village chief of Ironwood Village, and his equipment and blueprints were also mortgaged to the village chief.
To be honest, it wouldn't be a problem to sell these two items and get 34,000 gold coins.
But this is collateral. Gray Crow pledged it to the Traveling Merchant Alliance at a low price when he fled.
These two items can be valued at 2,000 gold coins, even if those merchants have a conscience.
Ai Lan guessed that if he had lowered the recruitment price to 3,000 gold coins just now, then he would probably miss these two collaterals.
As soon as he got his things back, Gray Crow almost shed tears, "Legion Commander, I'll give you the blueprint. Can I keep this staff?"
"What do I need your staff for?"
This drawing was a good thing, so Ai Lan accepted it without mercy.
"Okay, don't look sad."
"Even if I raise a Storm Crow in the future, I won't let you take care of it."
Now that he had arrived at the village chief's house, Ai Lan simply asked about his mission, "Village Chief, is the cemetery to the east of the village haunted?"
"You mentioned that cemetery. Indeed, I even sent out a mission."
"It's been so long and no one has come to investigate."
It turns out that the village chief sent the task, and Ai Lan really asked the right person.
"Village Chief, am I here?"
"Let's sit down and talk about the specific details?"
When the village chief heard this, he immediately reacted, "So it's your boy who took over the task. Come on, let's make a cup of tea and talk slowly."
The cemetery east of Ironwood Village was not built by Ironwood Village.
This cemetery was there before the village existed.
In other words, no one in the village knows the origin of this cemetery.
Even the village chief only used various means to ensure that there was no great danger in this cemetery.
More information was nowhere to be found.
"Some time ago, soldiers on patrol discovered strange movements in the cemetery."
"But I sent people to investigate, but found nothing."
This cemetery is not far from the village, so the village chief is particularly concerned about it.
"I suspect there is a necromancer who is doing something secretly."
The village chief's suspicion is quite reasonable. As for the cemetery, anything that happens is probably related to the necromancer.
"I understand, I'm going to the cemetery right now."
There is very little information about this mission. As for the specific situation, Ai Lan needs to go to the cemetery to explore it in person.
"Your strength is pretty good, I'll leave this matter to you." The village chief suddenly turned to look at Ren and nodded towards Ai Lan.
"You accept this treasure first, and remember to return it to me when you're done using it."
During the expedition to decipher the secrets, the eagle eye technique was a magical skill, and Ai Lan gave the sacred tree bird to Ren on the spot.
"Village chief, wait for my good news."
"let's go."
Ai Lan did not mention the treatment tent and ammunition truck for the time being.
He planned to wait until he completed the task and gained some favor from the village chief before talking about this matter.
For him, this task is not only as simple as getting a reward, but also a stepping stone to gain the trust of Tiemu Village.
Ironwood Village is a wood elf village, and developing here will undoubtedly be of greatest benefit to Ai Lan.
Although his ultimate goal is to establish his own territory, or even a country.
But you have to eat one bite at a time. In the early stage, it is still necessary to have a good relationship with the indigenous people.

East side of Ironwood Village·Mysterious Cemetery.
As soon as he arrived here, Ai Lan felt a chill coming from his back.
"There is indeed something weird about this place."
What went wrong, or is there someone behind the scenes?
"Ren, pay attention to your surroundings."
The village chief has sent people to investigate several times, but nothing has been found.
When others couldn't find the problem, Ai Lan didn't think he would be able to find it. He pinned his hope on Ren's eagle eye technique.
"What a shabby tombstone. This cemetery has a long history."
As soon as they entered the cemetery, they saw several rows of tombstones covered with moss.
"The longer the history, the greater the possibility of problems here."
"Look carefully and if you find anything wrong, tell me immediately."
This cemetery is not big, and it only takes less than half an hour to visit it all.
To be cautious, Ai Lan did not disperse the team, but gathered everyone together and swept through inch by inch.
After a long time, they almost pulled out all the weeds in the cemetery, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"What exactly went wrong?"
Everything above is normal, is this a hint for him to dig a grave?
"No, no."
It's not that Ai Lan is of high quality, it's a matter of camp.
The natural system is a lawful camp. With his many years of gaming experience, if he dares to dig a grave in the Chiba Forest, there is a high probability that negative events will be triggered.
"Yes." Ai Lan looked at these extremely dilapidated tombstones, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Everyone moved to clean up all the moss, lichen, ivy, etc. on the tombstones."
"Don't leave any plants on the ground for me. Pull them all out."
Since you can't dig a grave, clean the cemetery from beginning to end.
He couldn't believe how something could be hidden so deeply.
If that doesn't work, then spend money to hire players to dig up the entire cemetery.
