Chapter 76

Back in the hall, Chris spread out the map on the table, and everyone gathered around the table to wait for the captain's next words.

"I believe everyone already knows that I came to Boggs City this time to completely eliminate the Gu family, although the purpose has been achieved, but we have really made a lot of noise. On top of that, the Mercenary mission in Boggs City is no longer for us. ”

"Based on the above two points, we have to go to the next city to facilitate the development of our mercenary team. ”

"Has the captain already chosen his destination?" asked Mu Xin in a low voice.

"Yes, our next destination is Ruu!" said Chris, gesturing to the eastern edge of the Terran land, where a city was drawn with the word Ruu written underneath.

"Cough, cough, cough. Just as Mo was about to check the surrounding environment of the surrounding city, a violent coughing sound came from Xiao Ye's direction.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Xin hurriedly asked with concern.

"He didn't have much, maybe the journey home wouldn't go well!" At this time, Chris glared at Xiao Ye, who was still coughing, and replied for him.

"Go home?" everyone looked puzzled.

"Xiao Ye's family is in Ruu, and he has something to do," Chris paused at this point, and then continued, "I came to Pegasus to join the mercenary team under a small circumstances." After speaking, the corners of Chris's mouth raised slightly, and there seemed to be a slight schadenfreude on his face.

But Chris's words of explanation made everyone even more confused, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Ye and asked, "Xiao Ye, your family is in Luwu?"

Xiao Ye didn't answer everyone's questions directly, but said to Chris, "I said captain, can we change places?" Xiao Ye looked embarrassed, as if he didn't feel very happy about going home.

"Originally, I didn't want to go there, our original goal was to be in the western realm of the Terrans, but now I have to go there due to some personal matters of my own!" Chris's words were unquestionable, as if he had expected Xiao Ye to react like this.

But Mo was not thinking about going there at this time, but Chris must have chosen Ruu at this juncture, and regardless of whether there was a clear purpose or not, at least the east of the human border was the farthest direction from the Protoss.

It seems that Chris is also very wary of the Protoss at this time, although the distance cannot solve all the problems, but at least it can make the intelligence and support of the Protoss slower.

And according to Chris's tone, he obviously knows Xiao Ye's background very well. If Mo is not mistaken, Chris must have done his research on everyone, but I'm afraid Chris doesn't know anything about his past, so Chris is suspicious of himself.

It's understandable to think about it this way, Chris with such a strong background can't find out the past of an ordinary human at all, it really doesn't make sense, and what Chris said next also confirms Mo's thoughts.

Everyone didn't understand why Chris knew so much about Xiao Ye's past at this time.

"I'll not hide it from everyone, I have investigated the background of everyone in the team in detail, it's not that I can't trust everyone, but I don't want some bad people to appear in the team, which is a burden for me and everyone. ”

"In addition," Chris glanced at Mo, and then at Mu Xin beside Mo, before continuing: "Many of these things are everyone's private affairs, and I will never say it unless necessary." ”

"Okay, let's go, it's a big deal, except for the mission, I'll just stay at the assembly point and not go out!" Xiao Ye looked helpless and unhappy.

"Don't worry, if there is something in your family, can I still sit and watch?" Chris smiled and reassured Xiao Ye.

"Hey. Xiao Ye sighed and stopped talking, as if acquiescing to this fact.

"Alright, if there are any other things that need to be resolved at Pegas, we will leave tomorrow. With that, Chris beckoned everyone to disperse, but left the ink behind.

In fact, Mo also has this intention, he must dispel Chris's suspicions, because whether he needs to protect Chris or go on a mission in the mercenary team, trust is essential for him.

"Come out for a walk with me. As he spoke, he walked straight out of the door regardless of whether Mo agreed or not.

After a short while, the two of them made their way to the center of Pegas.

There were no words all the way, and it was only at this time that Chris spoke: "Mo, last time I was in the small town on the edge of the snowy mountain, I believe you have seen the wings behind me. ”

"Yes. ”

"It's about my personal life and death, as well as some of my family's past. This return to the Lorain Continent is also to deal with these things, so I don't want to suspect anyone in my team unless it is absolutely necessary!" Chris lowered his head, as if it was uncomfortable for her to speak next.

"It's okay, I understand, you continue. ”

"From what I've observed of you, and based on how interested you are in me, I always feel that your motives for joining the mercenary team are not so simple, and I really haven't met a mercenary who is not greedy for money. ”

After saying this, Mur didn't answer, waiting for Chris's real question.

"Let's put it this way, I don't like to beat around the bush, and I choose to trust you even at this moment, but that doesn't mean I don't need to know about your past. ”

"Was it so important in the past? Isn't what I've done during this time proving for me the most basic trust problem?"

"Forgive me, I need 100% trust and not most of it!" Chris looked at Ink firmly, as if to tell Ink that she had to get an answer today.

"Okay, what do you want to know?" Mo also looked at Chris, and the two of them stood still in the downtown area and stared at each other.

"I want to know, if your real name is Mo, who are your father and mother, what magic academy did you study, and if you have anything to do with any church?"

"My real name is Ink," Ink picked up the wooden sign on his chest and showed it to Chris, then continued, "My mother has been missing for many years, my father is dead, all my magic techniques have been taught by my father himself, and I have never had anything to do with any church!"

This answer was indirect and crisp, without any dragging on the water, Chris stared at the ink closely in the process, and only after listening to it did he slowly put his mind down.

"Okay, that's fine, but I have one last question, where did this merfolk spatial ring come from?"

In the end, even Mo didn't think of this question, why she suddenly asked about this ring. But he can't think too much about it because it would make Chris feel like he's lying.

"The mermaid's little princess Cona gave it. As soon as the words came out, Chris stopped again, looked back at Ink and said, "Kona?" She looked at Ink in disbelief.

"Yes, she's my friend, do you know?" Before he finished speaking, Mo clearly felt the killing intent around him begin to rise, and Chris's expression became extremely indifferent.

"Kona, I know, she's still underage and can't even get out of the sea, how can she know a human paladin?"

The words have been said to this point, and Mo has endured it to the limit, and then said: "Since you know Kona, then you can find out if what I said is true or false." Put away your uncontrollable magic element, I'll stay in the mercenary team until you ask for the result, and if what I say is false, it's not too late for you to kill me!"

Mo couldn't help but speak a little louder, but Chris slowly put away his killing intent after listening to it, and then replied with one word: "Okay." ”

Then he disappeared from Ink's sight alone, and Ink went to the tavern alone in a sullen mood, and for the first time drunk alone in the tavern.

And Chris sent a letter to Korna that night, asking all questions about Mo.

The next day, the group arrived in front of the flight supervisor on time and flew to their next destination, Ruu, on a rented wildebeest.

The flight was very boring, but everyone was talking and laughing on their mounts, and time passed quite quickly.

But Mo never said a word all the way, and neither did Chris. Eugene, Lynn and Xiao Ye chatted happily, sometimes lamenting the past, sometimes enjoying the scenery on the soles of their feet.

Mu Xin and Lina are the same, they seem to be enjoying this journey, but in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that everything is wrong with Chris and Mo.

It was not until the afternoon of the third day of the flight that the group arrived in the town of Ruu.

Chris had already arranged a place for everyone to rest, so he went straight back to the new mercenary team assembly point.

The next day, Chris led everyone to the mercenary station to receive the new mercenary mission.

This mission is not very difficult, but it is an official public mission of the Terrans. Due to the topography of the basin of Ruu, the vegetation outside the city is very lush.

One of these plants is a very dangerous blood-sucking plant called lancet. This plant has been flooding around Ruwu, and many people and monsters have recently disappeared from these plants.

But fortunately, there is Xiao Ye in the team, and the fire element is very restrained by this plant, so the journey was relatively smooth. But what everyone didn't expect was that there was a fork in the road home.

Just after everyone had completely cleared the thorn vine in the mission area, everyone set out on their way home. Since the mission area was not far outside the city of Ruu, the group chose to return on foot.

When they were approaching the town, suddenly a group of people shouted at Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye?"

When Xiao Ye heard this, he secretly cursed in his heart, and then turned his head to look at the other party: "Xiao Jin?" In fact, Xiao Ye had already recognized him when the other party called him.

But at this time, since the other party saw him, he had to pretend.

"Young Master Xiao Ye, haven't you already left Luwu, why are you back again?" said the man known as Xiao Jin, slowly walking towards the crowd.
