Chapter 75
The merfolk are the native race of the living spirit Enid, who inadvertently created the elves after she was promoted to angel by the god of light.
The relationship between the two races can be described as a combination of qi, so the death of the High Priest will inevitably be of concern to Esther, and this High Priest is not an ordinary elf, but a close friend of Chris's mother.
"At the moment, the elves haven't found any clues, and now they're on alert. ”
"Mother, could it be that the Protoss did this?" asked Doris and Kona, who were sitting on the sidelines, almost at the same time.
Esther sat back on his throne and waved his hand for the intelligence officer to step back first, and then was silent for a while before shaking his head and saying: "If this matter is just a political sacrifice in various countries, it is easy to say, but if it involves the Protoss or Mountbatten, I am afraid it will not be so simple." ”
Doris and Kona were suspicious of Mountbatten for no reason, as the Protoss had previously publicly expelled Hepo and assassinated Chris's mother because of Heper's union with the Elven High Priest.
And now it seems that Hebo and he once had a daughter, could it be that now he has heard some rumors and begun to investigate this matter?
Of course, all this is just Esther's speculation, and the real reason is probably not clear to anyone.
"Cona, write a letter to Uncle Shaun's student and tell him about it. "Although we don't know the motive for the origin of this incident, it is wiser to let the parties take precautions as soon as possible.
"Yes, Mother. Without hesitation, Cona immediately returned to her room to pick up a pen and write, and a moment later her messenger left for Boggs City...
May 2998
After the Blood Clotting Frog mission, Mo led the mercenary team to perform several boring collection missions.
Mo, who thought he could upgrade the mercenary team, learned at the mercenary station that the cost was amazing, and the cost of the first upgrade was 1,000 gold coins.
This kind of cost is not something that Mo and the members of the mercenary team can afford, and they can only wait for Chris's return.
Now calculate the time, Chris should be there in the near future, and Mo, who was sitting in the hall, stared blankly at the sky.
After a while, Mur saw a familiar shadow slowly falling, and it turned out to be Kona's Seagull Messenger.
Mo couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth, he hadn't been in contact with Korna for a long time, it seemed that this girl couldn't hold back.
Thinking of this, Mo slowly uncovered the envelope. Before I could look at it, I heard the sound of the door opening coming from the gate.
I saw Chris walk in from the outside and go straight to the hall.
Accustomed to seeing Chris in mercenary clothes, Mo saw Chris wearing elf casual clothes for the first time, and couldn't help but look slightly fascinated.
Her long, silver-white hair was not as streamlined as she usually wore in a high ponytail. A small white vest on her upper body, and a small turquoise jacket with some gray bark ornaments embedded on it, Mochai's small jacket is probably to cover her wings.
There is only a pair of rough and plain shorts and leather boots on the lower body, and the intact figure is vividly highlighted.
"Can you pour me a glass of water if you've seen enough?" After several days of hard work, Chris was already tired and didn't want to move anymore, and he couldn't help but be a little impatient when he was greeted with such a naked gaze as soon as he returned to the mercenary team.
This made Mo slightly embarrassed, and he didn't reply, until he took water and brought it to Chris.
"How are you doing?" said Chris as he covered his teacup and placed it on the table beside him.
"Everyone is fine, I also told you about the situation of the mercenary team in the letter, we don't have enough ......"
"Gold coins are not a problem, I will deal with this matter tomorrow, this time has worked hard for you. Chris said before he looked up at the ink.
In fact, during this time, not only Mo, but Ogu also wrote letters to Chris, including the processing process of the Blood Clotting Frog mission, Chris's feelings are the same as Lynn's, but Chris is more concerned about why this paladin will follow the way of the elves?
The two looked at each other for a while, and then Chris asked, "I heard about the Blood Clotting Frog, but I didn't expect you, a paladin, to behave like this." Chris actually asked tentatively, this paladin named Mo has a very strict mouth, and always feels that he is not simple, but he can't find anything to suspect.
"Respect for life does not necessarily mean following the way of the elves, since I believe in the element of light, then shouldn't this also be taken for granted?"
"Yes, it's just that it's rare for a mercenary to be so disingenuous to love gold. Chris crossed his legs and waited for Mo's reply.
Chris suddenly asked such a sentence that made Mo unprepared, this is something in the words!
"As a mercenary, I naturally won't turn a blind eye to gold coins, and I still have a spare venom in my hand to sell it, which is worth a lot of money!"
Chris shook his head disapprovingly, as if he had given up on continuing to interrogate the impregnable paladin.
"Okay, I'll just ask casually, I'll go rest first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything. Chris said and turned back to his room.
Ink sat back in his seat, thinking to himself: It seems that Chris's vigilance is still very strong.
Then he shook his head and smiled and opened Kona's letter to see what the little girl wanted to say this time.
But when he saw the first line, the smile on Mo's face froze, and he stood up from his chair with a pout, and looked down carefully.
The letter was not long, but it was concise and to the point, Mo turned his head to look in the direction Chris had left, and sighed in his heart: No wonder...
After a few days of tossing, the first thing Chris did when he returned to the mercenary team was to have a good rest.
But she sat on the head of the bed and was distraught, her mother's best friend was suddenly assassinated, and before leaving, the elven Green Spirit King repeatedly told her to be careful of the light elemental envoys around her, for fear that Mountbatten would find out about some rumors and send someone to spy on her.
At present, there are only two elemental envoys in the mercenary team, Mo and Mu Xin, and Mu Xin has already found out her background before he went to the Luolan Continent, and she is a young lady who ran away from home in order to escape from marriage, so she can completely rule it out.
And Mo, as soon as he thought of Mo, Chris recalled that when he killed Ted and Gu Lingyun, Mo had desperately blocked Ted's fierce blow for himself.
In addition, in the mercenary team, he also assisted himself in completing tasks many times, and if all this is understood as the act of a spy, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince myself.
But there are also many things that are objectively in front of him, such as the storage of magic power in his body that is different from ordinary people, and the accurate knowledge of the weaknesses of the blood corpse monster, etc., which may be flaws in his hidden strength.
Although he had investigated Mo's background, he couldn't find any useful information, as if he didn't exist in this world before.
In addition, he actually has a space ring of the fish-man clan and the way of life of the elves, thinking of this, Chris couldn't help but lean his head back, this human paladin really made her feel confused.
At this time, Mo was sitting in the hall, staring blankly at the chair Chris had just sat on, with mixed feelings in his heart. The feud of these families, the departure of blood relatives, and Chris's suspicions all made him feel very uncomfortable...
The next day, after a day's rest, Chris gathered everyone in the hall early.
Mo looked at Chris, who had changed into a mercenary outfit again, but he was thinking about whether someone would really come to the door recently!
"It's been a hard time for everyone, I've learned about everyone's battle results and the completion of the mission, and Lina has also handed over all the financial details of this time to me, and I'm very satisfied with everyone's efforts. After speaking, Chris's gaze fell on Mo's body, only to see that Mo was still looking at her lightly, without any expression on his face.
"Since our mercenary team has enough points to upgrade, today I will lead everyone to the mercenary station to change the mercenary medal and pay the upgrade fee. ”
At this point, everyone had a very happy smile on their faces, which was inseparable from everyone's efforts.
"Haha, now the money from drinking is even richer!" Eugene's face was full of joy.
"You know how to drink. At this time, Lina, who was standing on the side, pretended to pout, and said to Eugene.
"Alright, let's go now!" After saying that, Chris led everyone straight to the mercenary station.
As soon as he entered the mercenary station, he directly handed the ratman a crystal coin.
"Wow, this is a crystal coin!" Most of the people saw this most valuable currency for the first time, and a thousand gold coins could be exchanged for one of these white and transparent crystal coins.
"The captain is really rich!" Eugene still wanted to touch the touch of the crystal coin, but was pulled back by Mo.
"Wait a minute!" the nezumi immediately took out a huge book from the bookshelf behind him and spread it out on the table.
When I opened it, I found that it was all blank pages, and there was no one on it.
Chris naturally knew that this was a secrecy measure, but others didn't understand why such a big book didn't have half a word.
Then the nezumi took out his quill and wrote carefully on the blank book, but no one could see a word.
Finally, the nezumi took out another seal from his pocket, sighed heavily at the seal, and then squinted at everyone with a large gold tooth exposed, and closed it when he saw the place.
Everyone saw the seal for real, but the seal only had the name of the rat man on it, and it disappeared after a while.
"What about our medals?" asked Chris after watching the whole process.
"Well, here we are. After saying that, he handed Chris a delicate box, and when he opened it, it was an upgraded medal, and Chris simply distributed it to everyone and led everyone out of the mercenary station.
"Then since everyone has obtained the medal of the mid-level mercenary team, then I also need to tell you about the future development of our mercenary team!"
