Ling Fei had never thought that the strict mercenary union had so many dark sides, but no one seemed to have publicized it outside. Why was this?
But soon, Ling Fei felt relieved. The negative news itself was something that major organizations tried their best to cover up. What's more, these things happened between a small number of high-level mercenaries, and they were done covertly. Unless they were caught,
It would be difficult to convict someone if the situation was revealed, so even if the mercenary union itself did not want to cover it up, the senior mercenaries themselves would keep silent in a tacit agreement.
After all, in this world, the strong always respects the strong. As long as the strength is enough, all those conspiracies and tricks are just clouds.
Thinking of this, Ling Fei couldn't help but look forward to the next trip, hoping that those so-called mercenary hunters could bring him some fun.
Looking through the signs around him, Lingfei discovered that, as Miss Nicole said, most of the A-level one- and two-star missions were escort missions. Some of the rewards were attractive, but a round trip would cost at least three.
Yue, this is unacceptable to Ling Fei.
After all, Momo was by his side. If he took Momo with him, he was afraid that it would take too long and the changes would be too great.
After reading several tasks in a row, he was not very satisfied with any of them. Suddenly Ling Fei paused and his face couldn't help but reveal a happy look.
Nicole had been observing Ling Fei's expression from the side, and when she saw Ling Fei's joy, she smiled and said:
"It seems that Mr. Lingfei has chosen a satisfactory task."
Ling Fei smiled without hiding it and said directly:
"This mission rewards exactly the kind of mining talent I need, and the mission location is not far away, but it's still a little strange. The reward seems a bit too high."
Nicole was also a little curious and asked hesitantly:
"Can I... take a look?"
In fact, what Nicole said was a serious taboo. After all, the rewards involved in A-level tasks are too generous, and coupled with the threat of mercenary hunters, the mercenary union has high confidentiality requirements for A-level tasks. Nicole is so direct.
If you ask the mercenary about the content of the mission, if it is an ordinary high-level mercenary, he will definitely suspect that the other party has some evil intentions, and he may even do it on the spot without anyone objecting.
But after all, Ling Fei was qualified through recommendation and had just come into contact with A-level tasks. He didn't know enough about the confidentiality of high-level tasks, and Nicole had been helping him a lot, so he handed the task card to her without any suspicion.
Nicole took the mission sign and casually scanned the surface of the sign. A-level three-star mission, smiled slightly, rubbed the mission sign, and began to read the content.
However, not long after, her expression changed and became solemn:
"Mr. Lingfei, in normal times, especially in winter, a task like this would be rated at most a five-star task. But this season, I think it is not an exaggeration to be rated A-level five-star. I suggest you not to do this task.
Already."
Ling Fei was a little surprised when he saw the lingering fear on Nicole's face. Miss Nicole had always been calm and generous. Even when it came to mercenary hunters, she was not so nervous now.
He asked calmly:
"I also went into the Screaming Valley when I was doing other tasks, but I didn't go deep into it. There doesn't seem to be any danger."
Nicole asked instead:
"If this mission is not dangerous and the difficulty can be set to A-level three stars, the other party can give you a piece of fire steel flame as a reward? You don't know the price of this fire steel flame, right?"
Ling Fei was speechless, but still asked sincerely:
"So, Miss Nicole, can you help me clear up my doubts?"
Nicole was a little helpless. It seemed that Ling Fei was not going to let go. He stopped talking nonsense and threw the sign back directly and said:
"It seems that you are the kind of person who won't wake up until you suffer some hardships. Well, I'll tell you."
Ling Fei quickly expressed his thanks, and Nicole waved her hand and said directly:
"The Screaming Valley, also known as the Valley of Despair, is known to all the mercenaries in Munster City. No one dares to enter there except in winter, because everyone who enters is dead."
Following Nicole's narration, Ling Fei finally understood the mystery behind it.
The Screaming Valley is a valley located about thirty miles northeast of Münster. Its name comes from the various eerie howling sounds that are emitted in the valley every night, but strangely,
Once it's daytime, the howling will disappear immediately, and only in winter can you not hear the howling of ghosts and wolves at night.
Many experts once went in to investigate, but most of the final results were that there was no return, and there were no bones. Gradually, the Screaming Valley was called the Valley of Despair, because once entered, there was no hope of survival.
It was not until later that a brave and careful adventurer discovered that the Screaming Valley did not emit that kind of whistling sound in winter. After careful preparation, he decisively broke into the valley alone in one winter.
Within three days, he emerged alive.
Originally this was not a big deal, but the adventurer brought out the roots of a plant called moro grass from the valley.
Morrow grass is a very rare and highly poisonous plant. It can be said to be extremely poisonous. If you touch it casually without any care, your limbs may swell. If you accidentally get a cut and become infected,
If you go to Morrow Grass, you will be killed on the spot.
However, moro grass is an extremely rare medicinal material. If it is combined with several other highly toxic drugs and refined into pills, it is said that it can neutralize the toxicity and become a rare stimulating drug that greatly improves the adventurer's strength.
of miracle medicine.
Not only that, this kind of grass also plays an important role in alchemy. As it plays more and more roles, the consumption of Moro grass is increasing. The already cherished Moro grass is becoming more and more popular in accordance with the market rules.
The more expensive.
Hearing this, Ling Fei understood the preciousness of the goal of this mission and the weirdness of Screaming Valley, but he still had a strange feeling as to why the person who placed the order only released this mission in the spring. After all,
Even if the moro grass itself wilts in winter, the medicinal effect will still remain.
But I heard Nicole continue:
"Besides that, Moro grass has one of the biggest uses, which is its beauty-preserving effect that makes all women crazy about it. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can stay young forever after eating it. To be more precise, it just delays skin aging.
, but only the seeds of Moro grass can have this effect, and the time for Moro grass to bear fruit is exactly in the past half month."
Ling Fei asked thoughtfully:
"Then what you are saying is that the person who placed the order is either a woman, or a rich man trying to please a woman..."
