Chapter 185: Delivery of Tasks

The Snake Mountains are where most of the adventurers of the middle and low-level professions are active, and no one will care if an ordinary low-level professional appears nearby.

When Mei Lin was choosing equipment, she was equipped with a relatively old leather armor and an ordinary long sword, and the whole person looked a little down, which made it even more unsuspicious.

While such caution will lead to a slower pace of progress, it doesn't matter, slower is beneficial.

Three hours later, a few weapons flashed behind the bushes in front of them, followed by an explosion like thunder.

Merlin's face changed, and she stopped, carefully instructing the Night Falcon to go to scout.

The night falcon quickly fed back the information, and about seven or eight miles ahead, there were two groups of monks fighting, seven on one side and eight on the other, the number of people was about the same, and judging from the clothing, most of them came from two different wizarding organizations.

This is not surprising, the various wizarding organizations do not like each other a lot, and it is normal to fight without saying a word.

Merlin groaned slightly, and instead of choosing a detour, she walked directly past their neighborhood.

The reason why she is so big is because the strength of the two sides is really not very good, except for the person who leads the team is a second-level wizard apprentice, the others are actually first-level apprentices.

Naturally, these people will not hide their strength.

Sure enough, people die for money, birds die for food, and such a garbage strength dares to covet the inheritance of the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden.

The two groups also spotted Merlin, but they only glanced at her and withdrew their attention, and continued to fight in full swing.

In the following day, Mei Lin bumped into more than ten battles, large and small, and the funny thing is that the comprehensive strength of these people is around the second-level apprentice, and the combat effectiveness is extremely low, even when she is a second-level apprentice, she can easily hit some guys.

Merlin really wanted to stop and ask them, did they come here to explore the ruins, or did they come here to duel?

Merlin sighed, and there were faint energy fluctuations in front of her, and it seemed that someone was fighting in front of her.

The corners of her mouth showed a hint of ridicule, along the way, she could be regarded as an eye-opener, heads-up, group beating, sneak attack, all kinds of fighting methods, all kinds of extremes.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Merlin snorted coldly, but she also understood that the environment she was in was really dangerous, and she was even more cautious, she didn't want to be swept up in a senseless battle.

Maybe it was good luck, or maybe it was the effect of the strategy to hide her cultivation, in short, Merlin traveled all the way, and she didn't meet anyone who hit her idea, so she returned to Gloucester City without any danger.

At the city gates, Merlin found that the vigilance had increased several times, and although the warriors did not dare to offend the wizards, the interrogation of ordinary civilians and adventurers was much more severe, and heavily armed patrols could be seen patrolling the streets of the city from time to time.

Mei Lin did not immediately go to the City Lord's Mansion, but returned to the inn where she had stayed and changed back into her mage robes.

To Merlin's surprise, not long after she returned to the inn, the city lord Hawkins sent a carriage to pick her up and take her to the city lord's mansion.

When Merlin arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in a carriage, there were already some people waiting in the open space in front of the mansion.

Naturally, the leader was the city lord Hawkins, and there were several guards behind him, and their eyes fell on the carriage that had just stopped.

"You are welcome back, you are the first to return to Gloucester. "Hawkins was enthusiastic, but his eyes were full of hope.

Mei Lin nodded, and then asked suspiciously, "There are so many people, just me coming back?"

Hawkins smiled bitterly: "You have probably also heard that it is said that someone found a clue to the ruins of the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden in the depths of the Snake Mountain Range, and many people went to look for that ruin, wanting to get a piece of the pie." ”

"I see. Merlin made a sudden appearance and bowed slightly.

After some cold noise, Hawkins invited Merlin into the living room, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Merlin took out a storage bag, took out a blood orchid from it, and handed it to Hawkins.

"Good, good, it's been a long time since I've seen such a high-quality blood orchid. ”

Hawkins took a deep breath and sniffed the aroma of the blood orchid, looking very intoxicated.

"There are thirty-four blood orchids in total. Merlin tapped the bag lightly, but didn't hand it over.

"Okay, great. ”

Of course, Hawkins knew what Merlin meant, he put down the blood orchid in his hand, got up and said with a little apology: "Please wait a moment, I'll be back right away." ”

With that, he quickly left.

Merlin picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking very leisurely, but secretly ready for the contingency...... After the fact, there are many examples of murder, and Mei Lin never dares to overestimate the bottom line of these nobles.

Thankfully, the worst didn't happen, and within a quarter of an hour, Hawkins had returned to the hall and handed Merlin a storage bag.

"Your Excellency is really trustworthy. ”

Merlin took the storage bag, inspected it, nodded with satisfaction, and pushed the storage bag containing the blood orchid in front of Hawkins, "Let's settle for two." Lord of the Castle, I take my leave. ”

"What? you want to leave?" Hawkins seemed surprised.

"You can also see that the situation in the Snake Mountains has been complicated recently, and if you get caught up in it, it will be a big trouble. Merlin explained briefly.

Not to mention his harvest in the secret realm, in the storage bag just now, there are a large number of materials needed to promote to a formal mage, once it leaks out, Mei Lin will definitely be hunted down by a large group of wizards, thinking about it, it is safest to go back to the academy.

"You're worried, I'll help you arrange a vehicle right away. Hawkins nodded understandingly.

In the end, Mei Lin politely declined the help and left the City Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, just let her go?" After Mei Lin left, a secret door opened from the back wall of the hall, and a bald middle-aged man walked out and stood where Mei Lin had just stood.

"I've already arranged for someone to pay attention to her every move, just be patient. The smile on Hawkins' face had been replaced by a cold one.
