Returning to the lobby on the first floor, Meili couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Cohen, with the strength of our adventure group, we should be able to explore the ruins, right? After all, there are so many experts! Almost the strongest adventurers from the surrounding cities are in our group.
Inside. If there is really a treasure in the ruins, and there is a 5,000 bounty from the city lord, it will be a great opportunity for us!"
"Yes!" Tatanil also said quickly, "Maybe we can call all the members to come back quickly and have a good discussion!"
"I will consider this matter carefully, so you don't have to worry." Jia Zhengjin said calmly, "The more rewarding the task, the higher the difficulty, and the more caution you need. Today is the same, just take on any nearby tasks first! Wait.
We’ll decide tomorrow to see if we need to gather members.”
Seeing that he knew what he was thinking, Meili nodded immediately: "Okay! You are the leader, I will listen to you!"
"That's right! Anyway, I heard you right." Tatanir also smiled and said, "Then let's go and take over the mission~"
The three of them came to the counter together. Maureen took out the task book and handed it to Jia Zhengjin.
Merry and Tartaniel stood beside him, looking at the contents of the mission booklet at the same time.
"This is a good mission. I collected a bag of nidothorn melons and got 16 silver coins!"
"I think this is better. If you kill three striped snakes, you will get 19 silver coins. It's very close!"
"If you want to talk about the closest one, it's this one, right? Help transport goods to a farm five kilometers away."
"Too little money!"
"Can we take the nearby tasks by the way? For example, collect red heart vines?"
...
Meili and Tatanir were chirping and analyzing tasks. Jia Zhengjin had long been accustomed to it and followed them, continuing to flip through the task booklet amidst such noise.
Finally, I chose the task of killing the five-headed rodent. The reward is 30 silver coins, and the distance is not too far.
Although the difficulty is a bit high, it is not a problem at all. In fact, Jia Zhengjin can easily handle it by himself, using the current abilities of Cohen's soul state.
After selecting the mission, come out of the Adventurer's Guild and prepare to set off directly.
At this moment, seven or eight war horses suddenly appeared on the road ahead and lined up to block the way.
When they saw the people blocking the road, Merry and Tartaniel were stunned.
Jia Zhengjin looked indifferent, looked up and down, and said nothing.
The people blocking the road were none other than Lena and her guards, and everyone looked serious.
Seeing the other person sitting on the horse looking straight at this side, all eyes falling on Jia Zhengjin, Meili finally couldn't help but said: "Is it you? Didn't I return the necklace to you yesterday? Is there anything else?"
Lina glanced at her sideways, then quickly turned her gaze back to Jia Zhengjin's face, turned over and dismounted.
As soon as she came down, Panis and the other female guards also dismounted and stood on both sides.
Merry and Tartaniel were a little nervous, not knowing what the other wanted to do. However, no one would dare to cause trouble at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild.
Lena took a step forward, and Tataniel subconsciously touched the wooden bow on his back.
Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand to stop her and looked at Liena calmly: "Why, are you ready to take revenge on me for what happened yesterday? You're not kidding, even if everyone joins in, they are no match for me!"
Lina's eyes swept over Meili and Tatanir, and then she said to Jia Zhengjin: "I didn't come here to trouble you because of what happened yesterday!"
"Then what do you want to do?" Meili asked with a frown, "You won't tell us, will you just meet us by chance?"
"That's right, I think you came here on purpose!" Tatanir said warily.
"Indeed, I came here specifically to find you." Liena said, "I want to join the Holy Spirit Adventure Group, and I want to join your team and take adventures together!"
"Ah?!" Merry and Tatanir were stunned and fainted. What is going on?
Jia Zhengjin also didn't expect it, and frowned slightly: "Miss Liena, don't make fun of me!"
"I'm not kidding!" Lena said seriously, "Last night, I went back to the hotel and thought about it for a long time. I want to join you and follow you on the adventure!"
"This joke is not funny at all!" Meili looked strange.
Tataniel was also confused. After all, she was treated so badly by Cohen yesterday and hated him so much. Why did she suddenly say that she wanted to join the adventure group and be on the same team as Cohen today?
Jia Zhengjin could see the seriousness in Liena's eyes, so he felt even more strange. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have such thoughts: "Miss Liena, I'm very sorry! The recruitment of members of the Holy Spirit Adventure Group is very strict, and not everyone can do it.
Come in. Secondly, my team doesn’t need new members. Meili, Tata Nir, don’t waste time, let’s go!”
"Oh!!" The two female adventurers nodded and quickly fetched their horses.
"I must join the Holy Spirit Adventure Group," Lena stopped in front, "I want to adventure with you!"
"Reason?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"I thought about it for a long time yesterday. Although you went too far in the first half of the day and deliberately teased me, you didn't have much malice. Later, you returned the necklace to me! If you think about it carefully, an experience like that is very new to me.
It's something I've never encountered before. I just realized that being an adventurer is quite interesting. This is one reason!" Lena answered seriously, "The second reason is that I think you are very interesting and similar to me.
The people I met before are different. They don’t have that kind of flattering attitude, and they don’t flatter me. I like this way of getting along with each other. All teammates are equal and there is no privilege! I want to join the Holy Spirit Adventure Group and become one of you.
I want to continue to have adventures with you!"
There was another reason she didn't say. Joining the Holy Spirit Adventure Group and establishing good relations with everyone would be equivalent to attracting all the powerful people in the surrounding cities to her side. Her father was currently in a very dangerous situation, and she couldn't do much to help. But if she could
Winning the Holy Spirit Adventure Group over can virtually reduce the pressure and even become an important chess piece to turn defeat into victory!
Merry and Tartaniel were both confused and really couldn't understand the current situation.
But Jia Zhengjin saw some clues in Liena's eyes, so he shook his head and jumped on the Shadow Leopard: "I'm sorry, the Holy Spirit Adventure Group is not a team of the city lord's daughter playing house. We have to face death and various crises.
! A person of noble status like you is not suitable to participate. Please give up your thoughts and let’s go!”
"Oh!!" Meili and Tartaniel hurriedly followed on horseback. Jia Zhengjin bypassed each other and quickly ran towards the city gate.
"Miss!" Panis looked at Lena.
"I will never give up on something I decide!" Lena jumped on the horse, "No matter what, you must make him agree! You stay in the city and wait, drive!"
As soon as the voice fell, he whipped his horse and chased after him wildly.
