You're going to come to Raumi, not for anything. But what you say to Hathaway is "you can go back." The latter closed the door with a retreat.

It was quiet in the bedroom.

Linda is not here, and Hathaway is in retreat tonight to think, in fact, Raumi will take the initiative to come over without calling at all. You avoid the possibility of someone disturbing their minds with jealousy, and you don't hide anything from lying.

Soon, the bedroom door was quietly pushed open, and Raumi smiled and wore a sexy pajamas, and tiptoed to your bedside: "Anyway, you're idle tonight, and it's not in the way for me to steal food again, right? What are you going to do tonight? The secret medicine is still being refined, so you can't make two at the same time." So, why don't you try the witch's little stone to gold?...... Ah, a little copper, it's pretty much the same anyway. ”

She looked so happy.

but

When Raumi heard you say that you didn't want secret medicine or gold tonight, she gradually put away her smile.

She grabbed the other arm with one hand, her chin tucked back imperceptibly, her right foot gently rubbed her left heel, her gaze shifted from her left to her left, and finally stopped at the bottom right for nearly ten seconds.

When she regained her smile, her face stiffened a little: "I didn't have the ability to turn stones into gold before I was promoted to level 3 witch, but I just acquired it." I know I may not be able to conjure up a few gold coins, but if I am given some time, this ability will definitely continue to grow, just like I can make secret elixirs. It takes 7 days to refine the simplest secret medicine at first, so the progress is quite large, I think. ”

"You can't blame me for the debt, it's really just the cost fee. Besides, don't you have money now?" said Raumi's eyes suddenly rounded, "Ah! that's why you don't need some gold?...... No, but! I'm in the process of refining medicine, and I'll be able to refine new medicine soon! And faster and faster!"

"Please imagine that I have learned to refine secret medicine at level 1, and I have learned to turn stones into gold at level 3, which is the rhythm of gaining a new ability every two levels! And I don't get a penny from my salary, and I rarely wander around the streets, and the secretary doesn't notice that I'm here, so I won't cause you any trouble!"

Raumi spoke faster and faster, though he still didn't forget to keep his voice down. What was she excited about?

She is embraced by you, and this uneasiness has not diminished in the slightest.

"Eh, just hope I'm happy?" Raumi looked dazed, "My ability and mood are not linked, and it's not the soldier's combat state that depends on morale." ”

"Eh, you're just trying to comfort me," Raumi looked dazed and confused, "I was hit by a pig, I was mistaken for a slap by an idiot, and it was you who fell from a tree, not me." What is wrong with me?

"Eh, brush up on good feelings?" Lao Mi was directly stunned, "Why? Sleep at any time, welcome! Marry at any time, marry a witch who will stay young forever, and you will not suffer! The secret medicine is already the lowest price, and the gold is already the highest price." I embarked on a journey all over the world, and it was not easy to find a man who couldn't die no matter how much he ate, and the favorability was the highest...... Do you need me to be a poisoned arrow for you at a critical moment? No problem, I'm almost immortal, and if the secretary doesn't mind me stealing her place, I can be by your side day and night to block the poisoned arrows except for refining medicine! Or do you want to try a strange game?"

Raumi scratched his head: "I'm a little confused...... What the hell are you dissatisfied with me?"

......

What did you say?

Didn't he just say "don't want anything"? provoked Raumi to burst into conversation directly, and was about to catch up with the final defense before the verdict.

Whatever she misinterprets your good intentions into, you tell her that life is more than just usefulness.

"If you don't even have a use value, why do you live?" Raumi pointed to his chest with one hand and at you with the other, "alchemy tools and gold mines, endless delicacies and shelters." ”

You repeat "don't draw anything" ten times.

Raumi tilted his head,

Laumi pondered,

Raumi's face suddenly became flushed, very red. She stares timidly into your eyes, and her voice confirms intermittently, "Could it be ...... I...... Mistaken?"

She finally became happy again, put her arms around your neck affectionately, and murmured, "That's right! Eating white food will level up faster, and you will be able to point out more gold coins in the future." Honey, you're so smart, hee-hee. ”

Until Raumi lies in your arms and falls asleep happily, your unintended kindness has not been conveyed. "I'm level 4, I'll try my gold ability tonight, if you still have time. —Raumi's last words before going to bed last night. Sleep in vain, upgraded one level.

The next morning,

Even if you climb out of bed on time with the blessing of the ring, you still feel terrible as expected. Julianne, like last time, casts a few magic spells on you, asking what kind of evil monster you were attacking, but she doesn't get an answer. Muttering if it's a ghost, place holy water in the corners of your bedroom.

"Don't worry, sir. If it doesn't work, tomorrow morning I'll set up a circle to protect against evil, and it will work no matter who the other party is. ”

After healing, you come back to life with full blood, and just after you get out of your bedroom, you slip hard in the hallway from stepping on someone's broken teeth.

This morning was pretty much the same as usual, except that there were no Fiertin, Raumi, and Annette and Coco, who stayed in the guild last night. There are many rooms in the guild, but there are few decent rooms where people can sleep. Annette simply cleaned up a bedroom for one person to live in, and Coco dismantled a sofa in the empty house as a kennel, and was very satisfied.

Annette poured you a cup of coffee, then stood respectfully behind you, silently.

Adele posted a large piece of paper on the bulletin board:

The Liver Burst event ends on Sunday (Day 14), and is currently temporarily ranked according to the degree of contribution as follows:

Totem of Thorns 206 (Dungeon Progress: +21, Gold: +160, Fame +25)

"Golden Crown] 185 (Search for friendly team gold +160, voice +25)

"Akami Tide" 185 (Search Gold +160, Sound +25)

Blade Shield Wind 25 (Thieves' Den Supplement +20+5)

Rainbow Shadow 12 (Thieves' Den +4+4, Thieves' Camp +2+2)

"Water Moon Companion" 11 (Midnight Cry +6+5)

"Witch's Sigh] 9 (Midnight Cry +6+3)

"Hill Explorer" 8 (Thieves' Den Defeat +4+4)

Gravel Spirits 8 (Abandoned Mine +2+2, Nezumi +2+2)

The rankings are brutal. The gap between the top three and the rest of the squad is simply too big. In Adele's understanding, there was no loss in registration, so even if the "Thorn Totem" was on an expedition at the time, it was considered to be automatically participating.

Hathaway looked solemn.

She pondered all night last night, and finally figured out the mystery entrusted by the "Missing Baroness", but if she wants to confirm the speculation in her heart, she still needs to wait for the mission report of "Rainbow Shadows". That's the last piece of information.

"Lord, can you open the door?"

Adele waited until you nodded in agreement and opened the door to the Adventurer's Guild.

Surprisingly, there were many people waiting outside the door early - in addition to many adventurers, there were many more onlookers.

All the members of the "Thorn Totem" have changed to shiny new equipment, and they are now the first team of the real guild, whether it is in terms of experience, level or equipment, even when they walk into the guild hall together, they seem to have their own background sound effects, and their aura is higher than the others; It's a completely different style, Rachel flicks her long hair and can't wait to throw out the whole silver phoenix, Max Esley looks as if her whole body is taller because of her energy, Michael holds his shield as a mirror and repeatedly sorts out his almost no bangs, Billy throws a flying kiss to the crowd of onlookers behind him, "Rainbow Shadows" changes from four women to five women, one of them seems to be a fan who is casually held in the arms by the red hair, the tide rises, they actually don't know why they also get fans.

Two regular guards are guarding the door for you, and their main job is to maintain order among the masses.

This world,

Before you know it, you have deviated from the trajectory you had until yesterday. Some people are crazy, like the "Golden Crown".

"Rainbow Shadows" had completed the task of investigating Baron Roberts Doug, and instead of going to the counter, Hathaway was called over and reported the details of the mission directly to her.

Rachel suddenly spotted Annette and came over with a grin, "Yo, newcomers, remember us, the guild's first squad." ”

Coughing lightly, Max Usley signaled that the "Thorn Totem" was still there, low-key.

Wha

The Thorn Totem doesn't go to the counter or billboard, but instead walks straight to you. The sword and shield man squeezed away Messeusley and said coldly, "The important thing is to be able to live to the end. ”

The strongest squad of four people gathers in a row and watches you.

Suddenly, they bow deeply to you and say loudly, "Thank you very much, send the other team to greet you." We don't need it, but we are grateful. ”

Captain Shield Sword stood up and talked to you about a serious matter.

"As a reminder, the Adventurer's Guild has the responsibility and obligation to provide corresponding support to adventurers. We've seen your efforts in receptionists, health doctors, team assignments, and order selection, and thank you very much, but now, in the near future, we need more support - especially for the Dungeon of the Evil Mage. We, the Thorn Totem, with the power we deserve, are now officially applying to you for two supports: First, to establish a camp for adventurers near the entrance to the dungeon. We've laid the foundation, but we still need more facilities such as walls, post stations, watchtowers, tents, etc., all of which require the guild to provide manpower and material resources, and second, to build a teleportation array near the entrance to the dungeon. The three-day round trip is not a short journey, and there are many orcs, goblins, and other monsters along the way, which will not only destroy the best state before entering the dungeon, but also easy to destroy the whole team on the way back from exhaustion because of the mobs that usually don't have to be in the bottom of the eyes. ”

They demanded the establishment of camps and teleportation arrays.

You look at Hathaway, who whispers in her ear, "The Adventurers' Guild does have this kind of support obligation.

Scattered individual heroism or a single squad would not be able to capture a full-fledged dungeon, nor would an army with a good arrangement of troops be able to capture a narrow dungeon suitable for only a few elite squads, not to mention the temple priests and officials who were huddled within the walls of a high monastery. Only you, only the Adventurer's Guild can do it.

Hathaway seems to have been prepared and hands you a small note:

Building a camp: (Multiple choice)

A, the initial wooden fence: 1 day, 30 gold.

B, the initial plural wooden guard tower: 1 day, 30 gold.

C, the initial campfire and plural tents: 1 day, 30 gold.

D, set up the initial post station in the middle of the round-trip: 1 day, 50 gold.

Attached are the details of the construction of the teleportation array:

Constant teleportation array, material cost 2250 gold, magic circle construction cost 50 gold, external senior mage (at least level 17) 300 gold, a total of 2600 gold!

Just about to be shocked by the sky-high price and refuse directly, you find that the note is still written underneath: The guild has already cost about 2,000 gold for some materials, and Hathaway has contacted the former adventurers of the first guild, and the level 17 archmage expressed his willingness to help and not charge the cave fee.

Therefore, the price of the final construction of the teleportation circle is 2250-2000 + 50 + 300-300 = 300 gold.

The cost is finally back to a level that is acceptable to the heart, but it is still very expensive. While you were hesitating whether to build or not, Hathaway whispered, "President, build it." First, we will have to build sooner or later, and second, we will make money. ”

Earn?

Is there a transmission fee?

Hathaway said it wasn't all. Generally speaking, if the construction of a teleportation array requires a very cumbersome administrative approval procedure, the council office will often not agree. But once it is built, even in a more remote area, it will be able to collect the cost in two years at most. We're only going to spend 300 gold, and the Council will definitely approve it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it is in debt, many rich people want to build it but can't build it.

"Ah, yes...... And this, we don't participate. Captain Sword and Shield points to the Liver Explosion on the bulletin board and says to you, "We have our own pace. ”

The so-called pace is to rest today and continue to attack the dungeon tomorrow. It was later learned that no one in the "Thorn Totem" knew how to use a flail, and no one liked to drink, and it was not easy to be affected by changes in external factors.

Waiting for your good news, we'll come back tomorrow - With that, the "Thorn Totem" turned around and left, taking with him a lot of onlookers.

“...... Too cool is not good. ”

Whoa, Caleb suddenly appears next to you again. Don't sneak around in broad daylight if you don't have anything to do, or maybe he's small and not easy to attract attention.

Caleb pats you on the shoulder and says solemnly, "I know where we lost when we first met. Maybe there's a bit of luck to be had, but I really admire that you know when to stop. I don't know...... It was going well last night, and I removed a sleeping poison needle at the bathroom door, which must have been put by Linda before she left. It's hard for me. I saw them all, everyone, and it was a wonderful view...... But the fog was so heavy that I couldn't see it well enough. So I took a few more steps forward. The second trap turned out to be a immobilization spell. ”

As she spoke, Caleb smiled cheerfully. You can see that he has a broken molar. Hawkers, as long as he's happy, it's not you who will be repaired anyway.

"Rainbow Shadows" report is over,

Hathaway's face was not very good-looking.

She pulls you into the guild's inner part of the house, covering her mouth and frowning.

"Elder, although what I said next is speculation, it is already eight or nine. In conclusion, there is a connection between Baron Roberts Doug, the Council Hall, and the Nezumi. ”

Roberts Doug and his cousin were initially hooked up, the latter once said "he's level 6...... and the former corrected "no, it's level 7", it wasn't that the cousin didn't know Roberts Doug, but he knew the bottom but lied together. Baron is at least level 9. The role of the cousin is very simple, that is, the hand of the council office, responsible for taking money and killing people. Baron Roberts Doug's role is a bit more complicated. ”

"I surmise that the dungeon side tried to combine the inside and the outside before launching the Legion attack. The dungeon tried to persuade two forces to betray the town, but they failed. A den of thieves that could be the Dark Elves, whose forehead ornament is a gift from the dungeon. Perhaps due to the pact with the guards, or perhaps not interested in dungeons with a large number of orcs, this attempt was unsuccessful. At that time, the secret passage of the stream from which the "Rainbow Shadows" escaped led directly to the suburbs, and it was from there that the messengers of the dungeon were afraid to come into contact with the thieves. When the guards learned of this, they decided to get rid of the gang even if they temporarily lost the benefits of drug trafficking. ”

"The second is Baron Roberts Doug. ”

"Based on paranoid racial beliefs, the Baron respects humanity, hates subhumans, and tries to enslave all lower races, according to intelligence, for more than a year or two. Before you took office, the Baron had taken control of one of the Nezumi clans in the town's sewers, driving them to collect their treasures, and they were using the Baron to expand their territory. Before the dungeon launched the legion, he sent an emissary to persuade Baron Roberts Doug to join the outside world, but he was also refused. The Baron simply despised a dungeon with humanoids as the main force, and he wanted the slave city to return to prosperity, not destruction. ”

"The evidence for my speculation is that the dungeons have sent goblins to dig sewers on the outskirts of the town in abandoned mines, intending to take it from within the town with their own forces. So the natives there, the cavemen, were driven into the sewers and hidden, and were taken over by the goblins. Unbeknownst to all of us, the Goblins and Nezumi in the Sewers engage in a bloody battle that ends in the defeat of the dungeon. This led to three results: first, the nezumi clan had the support of a clever baron, but the other clans suffered heavy casualties and took the opportunity to encroach on the territory and expand their power dramatically; second, due to the expansion of the rat heart, the baron had to kill the existing nezumi leader and replace it with a better one. Since then, he has also realized that goblins are more intelligent and easier to control than nezumen. Under the control of the existing nezumi clan, he joined the adventurer's guild, looking for more opportunities to contact the boss-level goblins, and also tried to legitimize the enslavement of goblins in the name of demons. ”

Hathaway seemed a little overwhelmed.

“...... Secretly eradicate political enemies in the council, such as the missing baronesse. Not an assassination, but a more insidious one. ”

"The Speaker's cousin is responsible for the transformation and slaves, and deliberately abuses those slaves in the appearance of political enemies, so that all slaves can clearly remember the face of the so-called master, and then let the high-ranking rats, who are good at stealth in the town, secretly stuff the slave collars into the mansions of political opponents, and finally report and denounce them!—the large number of slave collars hidden in the mansion, the many slaves imprisoned elsewhere, and the identification of the slaves...... Perhaps it is not necessary to identify it, but the ordinary phrase "Master, please command" is sufficient. People have been stolen and seized, and the evidence is ironclad. No nobleman in this ancient slave trading city could escape punishment in the face of the anti-slavery law, ranging from knighthood to beheading. ”

Hathaway is done,

Looking at you with indescribable eyes. Her eyes had lost their former calmness.

Baron Roberts Doug controls a large nezumi clan and is involved in plots to frame other nobles.

This kind of thing...... It's hard to imagine, but it echoes a lot of previous details, and it can also explain why the commission for the "search for the missing baronesse" came from the guards. The Guardians hope that the Adventurers' Guild will slowly expose itself and take the killer on its behalf. At that time, even if you want to let Roberts Doug and the Speaker's cousin go, the guard still has a follow-up plan waiting for you.

Hathaway clasped her hands tightly together, looked at the floor and said, "In the past, the council hall and the guards reached a secret non-aggression pact because they fought too fiercely, and it seems that the pact will soon be null and void. Recall...... The reason for the collapse of this pact should be the petrified female guard of the "Ekadena Incident". Her position is too delicate, both as the captain's lover and often running to the speaker's cousin to earn extra money. She is a double-edged sword capable of killing both the guards and the council chamber, cutting off the temporary peace that sustains both forces. ”

I'm afraid the commission to destroy the orc troops is not so simple, but the adventurers are already on their way back, and it's too late to say anything.

The bloody war has quietly begun.

And the guild,

Caught in the middle.

Based on Hathaway's previous experience, the war could not be temporarily quelled until one of the vice-captains or cousins of the Speaker died politically...... Or really death.

What are you going to do about Baron Roberts Doug and the commission to capture the nezumi leader?

1. Personally select the adventurer team to capture the leader of the nezumi, and then make a decision after seeing Roberts Doug's attitude.

2. Modify the commission, kill the nezumi leader, and make a decision after seeing Roberts Doug's attitude.

3. Refuse to commission, personally select the team, and break into the noble mansion at night to kill Roberts Doug.

4. Refused the commission, personally selected the team, and broke into the aristocratic mansion at night to capture Roberts Doug.

5. Refuse the commission and wait for Roberts Doug to do something further before deciding.

It's too late to refuse the commission and it won't cause any problems.

Now is not the time to deal with the trap of "finding the missing baronesse".
