Chapter 73: A Warning from the Prey
After browsing all the commissions posted in the Mercenary Guild's order column, Luo Ning felt that he had really gained a lot of insight today.
There are not only normal-sounding commissions such as "protecting the caravan to a nearby town" and "collecting herbs in the Ono Forest", but also such strange commissions as "paying the female robber who was hanged three days later and chatting and coaxing her to sleep", and "helping the president of a certain chamber of commerce divide all 1,000 gold coins in equal parts".
Don't be disgusted, there are at least three stars in front of these strange commissions. The commissions of the mercenary guild are divided into five levels, from one star to five stars, and the higher the star, the more considerable the reward. This means that as long as you complete those weird Samsung commissions, you can often get a decent reward.
As for the commission assigned by the academy to Luo Ning......
"Two-star mission: Help a mage feed pigs. Let him use the 'Killing Staff' to launch the 'Summoning Ten Thousand Pigs' without embarrassment..."Luo Ning couldn't read it anymore. Because he clearly heard the bald uncle next to him covering his mouth and chuckling.
"It's too ruthless! This punishment is too ruthless! When you see that dean one day, labor and management must kick him in the ass!"
Luo Ning tearfully rolled up his sleeves and took off the commission to feed the pigs. Of course, the Cleansing Scroll is indispensable. He didn't want to go back to Morrowind Academy with the smell all over his body.
The day passed quickly. When Luo Ning received the payment from the hot girl at the front desk of the mercenary union and walked out of the gate of the mercenary union to return home, he was attracted by several figures on the corner of the street in front of him on the right.
"Karen, but who are the people behind her?" Luo Ning saw that there were big men behind the girl mage, and he suddenly felt vigilant in his heart, so he took advantage of the lack of people on the street to sneak in, and quietly chased after him.
Luo Ning followed the four of them through the streets and alleys, walked through three intersections, and turned into a remote alley where the sunset could not shine. He tilted his head and looked on tiptoe, only to see Karen glancing in both directions, and walking straight to the herb shop on the left.
"Herb shop, by the way, Karen can also make potions. She still hasn't paid back the ten bottles of potion she owes me!" Luo Ning's thinking is a bit of a single based on strength.
He was about to find a place to sit and wait for Karen to come out, when he overheard a conversation between the three men, and he was so angry that he immediately wanted to do it.
One of the three men had large nostrils, one had a horse face, and the third had a fairy face and two dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing Karen's figure disappear into the door, the big nostrils relaxed their vigilance and breathed a sigh of relief: "Brothers, let's take this chick as a hostage, can we really threaten that kid and lure him out?"
The big nostril slapped the former's head: "You stupid thing, can Mr. Hawke's information be fake?" he said that this chick shined in the Morrowind Academy test with a three-star enchanted wand. If that kid didn't care about her, how could he give her such a precious thing. ”
Luo Ning couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this, and said in his heart, you are wrong! The wand is enchanted by me, but it is because I see this girl pleasing to the eye, and I am kind enough to relieve her. No matter how good she is, Wendy is the only one I really care about.
The horse-faced man snorted: "Don't make any noise, let you prepare the drug, are you ready? The sun will set soon, when this chick comes out, let's immediately start to bewitch her and lock her up! I have inquired, that kid will go to the black market every time he comes out." When the time comes, let's set up an ambush first, and then lead that kid into a trap and tie him into a hornet's nest! Anyway, the Reinhardt family said that they would give 20,000 gold coins whether they live or die!"
The big nostrils smiled, and he bent his neck to rub his hands: "Don't talk about drugs, I have prepared even the medicine I used when I was happy! It's a long night today, and we are just happy and happy after tying her up! This chick has a good face and figure, and when I think of her being cleaned, my saliva is about to flow out... Oops, big brother, why are you beating me!"
The horse-faced man snorted coldly, "You can be smart for me!" Mr. Hawke offered 1,000 gold coins to name this chick. If we have 1,000 gold coins, what kind of woman can't get it?"
"Hehe, big brother is right! I listen to big brother!"
"I'm ...... too"
When Luo Ning heard this, his anger burned extremely strongly, and his patience with these three guys reached the limit, and he gradually heard some useful information: the Reinhardt family offered a reward of 20,000 gold coins for his life, and the waste of the Hawke family still did not give up on Karen.
"It's really filthy and vicious! The Reinhardts want to kill me? Hehe, it seems that the second dumb man who made the gun is not lightly injured! Forget it, they are powerful, and I will worry about it later." Let's help Karen kill these little minions today. Otherwise, I won't be able to swallow this breath! By the way, I can do this......"
He had a plan in his heart, and quietly summoned two magic puppets seven or eight meters behind the three men, and then took out the paper and wrote a sentence to the Wuxiang warrior monk: "After I go in, you will quietly kill these three people and put this paper on them." Don't make a movement for people to see, and don't leave a mouth alive!"
The strength of the two puppets far surpassed Luo Ning's, but they both obeyed him, bowed when they heard the words, and approached the three men silently.
Luo Ning, on the other hand, relied on his assassin skills to bypass the three of them and took the opportunity to enter the half-open door of the herb shop.
What greeted me was a strong medicinal fragrance. Different from the previous life, the potions of the Lost Continent are mostly made of flowers or spices with ores, furs and other sundries, so although the medicinal fragrance here is strong, it is more pleasing than the points of the Celestial Empire in the previous life.
Luo Ning took a deep breath and lifted the sneak at the same time, only to receive a "I understand" smile from the shopkeeper. It turned out that he saw Luo Ning suddenly appear, and he was young, and he regarded him as a rebellious young man who secretly ran to buy special medicines.
At this moment, Karen's voice suddenly came from the inside of the medicine store.
"Boss, that's what I want... Mr. Ronin, why are you here?"
Luo Ning turned his head to look and saw Karen walking towards the door with a basket of medicinal herbs and five or six medicine bottles. A strand of brown messy hair slanted across the edge of the snow-white face, full of exhaustion and uneasiness. However, the moment she saw Luo Ning, all the negative emotions on her face miraculously disappeared, and her eyes that smiled like two crescents flashed with surprise and joy, and her already beautiful face glowed with an unusually beautiful look under the light.
"Ahem!" Luo Ning hurriedly looked away, calmed down with a cough, and then responded with a smile: "That... I got it... I'm going to buy medicine. Raphael: He had a bad stomach yesterday! He's a man, he's not young, and he likes to eat blindly! I can't listen to anything!"
"Ahh
Master Raphael will naturally go to the priest's college for help, so why don't you run errands. You... Ah, by the way, you must have come to get the potion, right? Sorry, I've been busy taking the test lately and haven't been able to ...... You come with me, I'll do it for you when I get home!"
Karen looked apologetic, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she ran out the door as she spoke.
Luo Ning hadn't confirmed the situation with the two puppets, so he dared to let her walk out the door. If she saw those three guys who wanted to beat her up for their bad ideas and die on the streets, a little girl of this age would inevitably be irritated.
"Wait!" Ronin called out to Karen. He walked around the room, and pointed to the alchemy table in the corner: "That's right! It just so happens that I'm going to do alchemy, so let's learn from each other! Well, yes, learn and learn!"
After Luo Ning finished speaking, he saw Karen bowing her head and blushing and not saying a word, which looked even more attractive under the lamp. He collected his mood and looked down at Karen's gaze, and immediately withdrew his palm with an exclamation. It turned out that the kid was in a hurry, and inadvertently grabbed the girl's palm, and only then did he let go.
"Finish the calf, I'm going to be slapped!" Ronin remembered Karen's attitude towards the Hawke family's disciple, and closed his eyes in fright.
He didn't receive Karen's slap, but heard her whisper: "Well, it's all up to you!" Luo Ning opened his eyes and saw that she had turned around and walked to the corner of the alchemy table in the medicine shop.
Luo Ning didn't care about Karen's reaction, and hurriedly sensed the movements of the two puppets, and finally put his mind at ease. Because at the same time, in a corner more than 20 meters away from the medicinal herb shop, three evil men collectively lay down their corpses, and according to the arrangement of the Wuxiang warrior monk, their heads were facing west, saying that they could be reborn in bliss. And in the arms of the horse-faced man, there was also a note in his arms. On the note was a line of arrogant small print.
"It's a warning from the prey!"
