A mission released by the City Lord's Mansion made all the adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild boil.

"Whoever finds and brings back Count Estenti will be rewarded with 1,000 gold coins."

A nobleman is missing? Unimportant.

Judging from the photos, she is still a beauty. It still doesn't matter.

For adventurers, the important thing is the high reward. As for everything else, it can be ignored.

"One, a thousand gold meows...... A lot of meows...... You can eat a lot of delicious food, and you don't have to work for a long time! A silver-haired cat-eared lady was standing in front of the bulletin board at the moment, repeatedly checking the contents of the bulletin. The golden vertical pupils seemed to be glittering, and they were about to turn into the shape of a coin.

"That, Miss Baiyin." But at this time, a slightly flirtatious-sounding young male voice interrupted Bai Yin's beautiful imagination.

was forcibly pulled back to reality from her beautiful imagination, Bai Yin naturally didn't have a good face, but when she saw the person who spoke, she showed a very headache expression: "It's you meow again?" ”

"Ahaha......" The young man who was watched by Bai Yin with a vigilant expression scratched his head in embarrassment: "Don't worry, I'm not here to pull you into the group this time." ”

"What's that?" Bai Yin did not let his guard down.

"It has something to do with it." The young man quietly pointed to the newly announced task on the bulletin board: "But it's not convenient to talk here, can we talk in a different place?" ”

Bai Yin hesitated, neither vetoing it at once, nor nodding in agreement.

She looked back at the announcement of the mission, especially when her eyes swept over the six big words "reward one thousand gold coins", the balance in Bai Yin's heart tilted directly.

Because of the glass, Bai Yin has faintly had a special (sick) (state) pursuit of money. Although he was still vigilant against this young man who had been persuading him to join his team, he couldn't resist the temptation of money, and there was no information about this mission of the City Lord's Mansion except for the purpose and reward. Now, if this young man had any information, he might be able to put himself a big step ahead of the others.

"Meow, race...... What's going on? In the end, Bai Yin nodded in agreement.

"Serukayi." The young man, who was also the first prince of the Pander Kingdom, had no idea how many times he had introduced himself to Bai Yin, and he smiled with relief.

Louise's first step is almost complete, and the next thing is to sign a contract with this cherished cat-eared lady.

Oooh! Sign the contract! After all, it's a sister, a sister, and the beast ear girl in the third sequence......

"Hey, hey, hey......" A certain prince opened his mind to himself, and at the same time, there was a mysterious liquid at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't you have something to say?" Bai Yin's voice made Sairukayi wake up from his mind, but Bai Yin's eyes that obviously became cold and disdainful made Sairukai very sad.

Reluctantly wiping the mysterious liquid from the corner of his mouth, Serukayi changed into a serious expression and said, "Before that, how about we make a contract?" Oath-based contracts, and you don't have to worry about being cheated. After that, I was in charge of providing information, and then Miss Baiyin and I searched for the traces of the countess, and then we were paid fifty-fifty. ”

"Seven-three meow."

"No, no, no, I don't have to get five or five, after all, my information is very precious."

"Six, four, and points, if you don't want to, forget it."

"Okay, six-four, six-four. Be sure to leave a photo of yours, though! ”

"Meow?" Bai Yin tilted his head and frowned: "Strange request meow, you can meow, but you must meow." ”

"Deal!"

Then the two signed a contract with an oath, and Serukai immediately said: "Actually, I have acquaintances in the guards about the countess. Information from there says that the countess is now being held hostage by an adventurer named Zhou Yan. ”

"What's that?" Bai Yin looked surprised.

"This information is absolutely true." "I've seen you with that man before, so I think Miss Baiyin might have some idea of where that man is. ”

When Serukai was referring to seeing together, he was referring to a scene in the guild the other day, when he was one of the noisy guys who were shouting "Burn, Burn", ...... Well, it seems that there is another reason for Serukai to hate Zhou Yan.

"Uh-huh." After Bai Yin pondered for a long time, he nodded and said, "I can find him meow, but he must be eighty-two meows." ”

"Didn't you already make a contract just now? However, if you can wear a cat tail when taking pictures, I'll accept it. ”

"Meow."

Yes, although Baiyin has cat ears, it does not have a long tail. This is also what Serukai has always felt is incongruous. Also, please ignore the matter of the white sound falling quickly.

"Ryu, can you sense their location?" After deciding on the target, Bai Yin asked his contract deity in his mind.

"It's too far away, only a little fluctuation can be sensed, probably in the east." Ryu's voice soon rang out.

Spirits that can sense a connection with the world within a certain range. For the gods and their contractors who have come into contact, they can leave a mark, and clearly sense the existence and location of the other party on a larger scale. This is Ryu's ability.

Bai Yin, who got the answer, turned his head to look at Sailukai, and his momentum was high: "Let's go, meow, let's go make money." ”

……

……

The group was walking in the forest, not moving fast, while keeping an eye on their surroundings as they went.

Akali broke away from the home team and cruised outside, which is also the mode of action that can make the most of her combat power. And the group only maintained their usual speed, not only to take care of Yu'er and Youyou, but also because they needed to hurry up and recover after a few battles.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Yan looked at Zhu'er and Youyou beside him. For Zhou Yan's concern, the magician girl smiled: "No problem." ”

And Zhu'er laughed silently at Zhou Yan to express that she was not tired. Until now, she has not retrieved her voice and memory.

Seeing Yu'er's smile, Zhou Yan just reached out dotingly to wipe the grass clippings off her face.

It is precisely because of such a smile that Zhou Yan has made up her mind, no matter whether she is a child or not, no matter what kind of person she was originally as a countess, as long as she still retains such a pure smile now, Zhou Yan will not let anyone hurt her.

"So, have you completely become a young girl? And now she is still a legal young girl. Li complained to Zhou Yan in a timely manner.

"If it's just a degraded mind, it can't be called a legitimate underage girl. Besides, the so-called legal underage girl or something, not the appearance of the underage girl, but the real age has been legalized. ”

"I didn't deny the fact that the young girl was accused." Li's next sentence dealt a critical blow to Zhou Yan.

"No, no, no! I'm a man who is loyal to his heart and only shoots to those who can make a move! Zhou Yanyi retorted rhetorically.

"But her real age can be shot."

When did Glass become so eloquent? Zhou Yan wisely closed his mouth before drawing darker and darker.

"Hey, why don't you speak? Admit it? Li's triumphant voice sounded in Zhou Yan's mind.

And Zhou Yan selectively ignored Li's words and concentrated on moving forward.

Of course, Zhou Yan would not be stupid enough to approach Winter Rock City directly, and there were still demon scouts roaming west of Winter Stone City. Therefore, it is inevitable to choose the road to the east.

It wasn't even that Zhou Yan hadn't thought about leaving the Pande Kingdom from the east to the weaker defense in the south, and then detouring from the orc country and the elven country in the east to Crossbell City, where the Stardy Academy was located.

And as they approached Winterstone, they met adventurers. It is not difficult to guess from the burning gaze of those adventurers who bet on Zhu'er that the target of these guys is also Liang'er.

Actually, Louise didn't think much of it when she posted the task. At least the short quest content, though it's about finding and bringing it back. But as long as you bring back the countess, does anyone care if you find it or not?

Under the temptation of money, there are already quite a few teams of adventurers who are ready to act out of bounds. Several teams are sharpening their knives and waiting for the big fish to be caught near Winterstone.

Therefore, the adventurers that Zhou Yan and the others met were ruthless. In this regard, Zhou Yan has no intention of being a good person.

Anyway, after so many fights, although Zhou Yan didn't want to admit it, he himself had begun to gradually adapt to the act of killing.

Of course, in the battle, Zhou Yan still tried to avoid killing him, except for a few crazy people, and people who obviously spared the other party's life and took his life regardless of Qiqi, Zhou Yan only seriously injured the other party instead of killing the other party.

It's not that Zhou Yan's attributes are explosive and he likes to repay his grievances with virtue, he just doesn't want to do things too much, otherwise it will be miserable if he is really surrounded and suppressed by someone under the guise of "destroying the hijackers".

After interrogating a few captives, Zhou Yan learned that although these adventurers attacked and loudly called themselves "hijackers" and "kidnappers", it was just a slogan for them to deceive themselves. At least whenever they saw someone with a countess, they would shout and snatch the countess with all their might.

Thanks to the task issued by the City Lord's Mansion, the search for the countess was only mentioned, but there was no mention of the countess being held hostage, let alone about Zhou Yan. Otherwise, Zhou Yan's situation will only be worse.

Isn't it natural for a hostage to be besieged by a multitude? And wouldn't the hijacker's backhand murder confirm his identity as a sinner?

If it weren't for the fact that there was an agreement between Louise and Zhou Yan, Margaret would have announced Zhou Yan's identity when she helped formulate the content of the mission. Because she knows better than anyone that this mission is likely to bring chaos and killing. And if someone becomes the target of public criticism, at least there is a certain way to contain the chaos.

As for when Sailukai mentioned Zhou Yan to Bai Yin, he said that Zhou Yan was a hijacker, and it was just to eliminate Bai Yin's concerns. However, for Bai Yin, not to mention Zhou Yan, she already had hatred. It's just that she has nothing to do with Zhou Yan, when facing such a large bounty. Selling Zhou Yan can only be a matter of course.

At this time, Bai Yin had already left Winterstone City with Sailukayi, and was following the traces of Zhou Yan and the others following the induction of Runa.

And the troubles of Zhou Yan and the others don't stop there, Youmeng is walking with dozens of people dressed as assassins at this time. The beads in her hands glowed brightly, something her employer had given her, and that could be used to resemble Ryu's abilities. Of course, the target of this thing is not Zhou Yan, but Yu'er.

Deep in the forest, a man is wiping his sword. Beside him, lay the corpse of a leopard that had wanted to bite his throat.

The man's clothes were a little shabby, and there were sword marks everywhere. So he simply tore off the part of the bottom that was almost a strip of cloth, leaving only the part above his chest.

The unfamiliar environment, the unfamiliar air, and even the wind are so unfamiliar.

The devastated homeland of the war is gone, and the former companions and friends who hunted him down are nowhere to be found.

This sudden qiē made the man feel confused and at the same time swelled with great fear. It was the confusion and confusion after discovering that my past had become a cloud.

Then, a voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Excuse me, can you conclude a contract with me?" ”
