Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Bottom Line of Rickcell's Actions

--The sky had already darkened, and the bustling square was lit up by the bright magic lamps. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After an afternoon of wandering around with nothing to do, I slipped to the meeting place before the appointed time, and after waiting for Alice, who was half an hour later than the scheduled time and finally barely arrived at the meeting point, the whole team finally successfully gathered.

It should have been so, but ......

"I don't expect much, but you're not going to get anything but that. No, although there is a responsibility that I didn't remind you of beforehand, is it really okay for you two to do this?"

The chaotic city of Rixel, a corner of Central Heroes' Square.

I talked to Ah Shu, who had a mountain of goods behind her, and Alice, who had mysterious food stuffed in her mouth and palms.

No, I blame me for not making it clear beforehand.

But I thought they would all understand that this time we went on a business trip to the chaotic city, and although it was true that it was under the slogan of sightseeing, it was not here to shop and enjoy the food that is a local specialty.

Now, the two of them, who had indulged in strange directions, had no hope, so I turned my attention to Paul.

"Lord Eshuin, since you want to gather information, your subordinates have found the location of the local Thieves' Guild and Adventurer's Guild in Lixel. It's just that because there is too little time, there is not much to gain at the moment. ”

Seeing that I turned my attention to him, Paul was very cooperative in saying such a touching thing.

Inexplicably, I felt a wave of sadness welling up.

It's wonderful......

It's great to have guys in our squad who are both thinking and acting.

"Alice, this is the new clothes that the concubine bought for you, and your leather armor sewn from old animal skins should have been changed a long time ago. Let's compare and see if it's suitable, and it doesn't matter if it's not suitable, we'll pick it tomorrow. ”

"Wow, that's beautiful, Sister Felicia. However, Alice doesn't like this corner, it will be easy to get dirty, and it is very inconvenient to move. ”

Just watched Ah Shu pull out a very refreshing sleeveless gothic dress from the pile of goods.

I see, it looks pretty good.

The overall style of dark blue and light gray, with a slightly playful lace skirt at the top corners, is indeed a good fit for Alice, and to be honest, I can't stand her old and tattered animal skin.

It's nice that the members of the Undead Fortress can get along, but ......

"Hey, you two give me a little bit of seriousness, can't you learn more from Paul's reliability, at least in this respect you are not a horizontal character at all. Others have even found the Thieves' Guild and the Adventurers' Guild!"

I really felt that something was wrong, but in the end I felt like I couldn't help but say it.

How so.

Although I really don't want to say this kind of thing by myself, in fact, our situation cannot be regarded as optimistic no matter how you look at it, no, it is even quite dangerous, even if it is described as imminent death.

We came to Lexel to find a way to save ourselves, which should be the fundamental purpose.

"Well...... Uncle Bone, you're not much better, Grandpa Warliff taught Alice, you have to do something to convince others before teaching them, so what are you going to do in the afternoon!"

"Hmph, if you dare to teach you, you will naturally gain something. I spent the whole afternoon loitering around and didn't ask anything!"

Hearing me say this, the expressions of several people who heard this sentence became indescribable.

I guess they're saying I'm an idiot right now.

If it follows normal development, what Paul does should be the most direct and effective way.

After all, the Undead Fortress has no power in the unfamiliar Lixel, and if there is no referral from an acquaintance, it is naturally difficult to get in touch with professional intelligence dealers.

Naturally, the only way to gather information is through well-informed adventurers, or through thieves' guilds that are engaged in buying and selling information as a side business.

Normally, that's true. But......

"Although I spent the whole afternoon lounging, it wasn't without gain. No, I should say that I was the biggest winner, because I found something interesting. As for what the hell is going on, let's sell it first, and come with me. ”

Hearing me say this, although several people showed puzzled expressions, they still obediently followed.

Seeing them so cooperative, I wasn't ready to drag it out, after all, I couldn't do this on my own, so I was going to leave the Central Heroes Square with a few people first.

-- We have limited time.

This is the biggest problem that bothers us, but it is not the only one.

The first is that the main constraint on us is time, which means that we don't have enough time to move slowly.

For example, Paul's desire to gather information through adventurers and thieves is always the preferred approach for security and stability. The information obtained in this way is highly authentic, but the disadvantage is that the timeline for obtaining information is unstable.

If a task is posted today, someone will have to complete it tomorrow, or maybe two weeks later.

These things are completely impossible to judge and are all uncertain factors.

If I leave my fate to luck, I can't guarantee anything else, but I have the confidence that I will be played to death by Lady Luck.

At the moment we need complete stability, so even if it is actually implemented, this kind of action can only be regarded as an alternative behavior, and the hope is that someone else will help you to complete the task, which is not suitable for our situation.

Besides, after an afternoon of thinking, I'm going not to entrust adventurers or thieves' guilds to ourselves.

-- Time is limited, and you can't reveal your identity.

If you want to entrust adventurers or thieves, it is essential to post bounties in the guild.

And the task we're going to release is, to put it bluntly, something like [Rumors of Finding Sealed Items], and to be honest, there are countless rumors that meet this condition, and it's very difficult to find the right news.

Moreover, if such a mission were to be released publicly, there would undoubtedly be a risk of exposing our group.

Although the vast majority of adventurers will certainly not understand it, and will only try their luck on hearing the rumors to see if they can lead the bounty, if someone understands, it will undoubtedly spread the news that [someone may be looking for the seal of the nerd].

While the Lords of Death claim to ignore the city, I'm not naïve enough to think that they don't have their eyeliner here.

As the original team that followed the previous King of the Undead, it is normal for a few Death Lords to know that Rixel is sealing the Nerd, and if someone sees the mission we posted......

We tried our best to deceive Lord Raymond in order to hide our purpose in unlocking the seal of the nerd.

But if for this purpose it is revealed that we already know that Raymond is an undercover agent, then it is considered to be putting the cart before the horse.

Only by unlocking the Nerd's seal without being discovered by the Death Lords will we have a chance to defeat Lord Raymond, who did not carry his own Undead Scourge Legion, by means of layout.

But if Raymond finds out and directly leads the army to fight, we have absolutely no chance of turning the tables.
