Volume 2 Astya Chapter 18, Lost Baby Professional
In the autumn and February of Xinlan 407, there was a case of missing persons in Qili City. Adventurers who train in major guilds leave one after another after receiving the task commission.
The Knight Training Center is no exception, Yan Shaolong, the knight of the Shining Star Squad, was the first to leave, followed by Li Sujia of the Yunxiao Squad, and then Reinas and Zheng Qiushan of the Unforgiving Squad.
In the training room, it was getting quieter and quieter, and a feeling of mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, which made Luo angry and depressed, but he felt that it should be soon, and he couldn't leave the other teams, so he left his own team.
As expected, the magic sword team also received a similar commission six days later, and had to set off again in the absence of mages.
They can't be allowed to refuse, and the task is to issue directly from the elders of the Adventure Guild, the elders, which is equivalent to the orders given to them directly by the town of Astia.
Cases of missing persons often occur in the kingdom, and this kind of commission to investigate missing persons is not uncommon in various cities, and it is not strange for the adventure team, if you go to the bulletin board of the union task one day and do not see three or five commissions for the investigation of missing persons, it is really strange.
However, this disappearance case is somewhat unusual, in just one week, three disappearance cases occurred one after another, and the criminal also deliberately left a very provocative word at the scene.
If it was an ordinary person who disappeared, it would be fine, but the three missing people, each of them, had a different identity.
The first one who disappeared was the son of a couple, coincidentally, the husband was the richest man in Chili City; the second missing person was a captain who was recuperating from his injuries, although he was only the captain of the third-line corps, but he was also a soldier of the regular legion, with senior combat power, although he was injured, he was taken away in an instant, which is really surprising; and the identity of the third missing person, even more incredible, is the daughter of Hobak, the lord of Chili City!
Even if she is a powerless woman, her special status does not allow her to risk slacking off.
The Adventure Guild immediately sent an elite adventure team to investigate, but unexpectedly, after the whole team entered the Meteor Mountain Range, it was like five small drops of water touching the hot desert, and there was no news in an instant.
Two days later, a stripped man was thrown at the west gate of Chili City, this man, who was a member of the adventure team sent out, had a knife engraved with bloody words on his chest: Come and get me!
This move completely angered the adventure union, and the front hand sent an adventure team, and immediately felt that it was not enough to be safe, and the back hand immediately commissioned another one.
After coming and going, within a week, the top 20 adventure teams on the main list basically received this investigation commission, except for the three or two teams that were far away in the northern mountains of Selena Island, the rest of the teams arrived in Qili City one after another.
Wu Lian took Lingling, Miao Xiaodao and Luo Sheng to Qili City, and as soon as he found the hotel to settle down, he stepped into the door with his front foot, and the liaison who connected with them arrived.
"I'm a union clerk Maragon, in charge of the contact with the magic sword team, which one is Captain Ulian?" The middle-aged man stood in front of the table, although he was asking questions, his eyes kept staring at Ulian, and with his experience, he had already seen that the only woman sitting in the room was the team leader.
"Sir, please take a seat, I wonder what news Mr. has brought us?" Ulen stood up and took the conversation, and invited Maragon to sit down.
"Well, look at the words. Liaison Maragon pulled out a few pages of paper from his bosom with words written on them.
Ulian took it, and after Lingling served tea to Maragon, he stood behind Ulian, and leaned over, writing on a piece of paper on his face: The first time is to catch young people, and the next time the target is soldiers. -A-
Ulian frowned, pulled the paper away, and the second piece of paper read: The soldier has been caught, next time it will be a girl!-A-
Pulling it out again, the third piece of paper reads: I have taken that girl, if you want to get it back, come to me!-A-
"This symbol?" asked Ulen, pointing to the letter A, to Maragon.
"This is the word that the criminal left on the wall, and it was completely copied, and by the way, there is also this symbol behind the words on the body of the slain adventurer. ”
"I feel like I've seen this symbol somewhere......"
"The symbol of the Secret Doctor Guild, this group of sanctimonious hypocrites, under the slogan of benefiting the people, do some crazy things!" "Malagon was a little excited, "In almost every city, there are people who are secretly doctors, and there are many people who are persecuted by them!"
"The Dark Doctor's Union?"
"I don't know which madman created this evil organization, and he dares to call it a union!"
"So where do we start?"
"This is an investigation commission letter, according to the investigation, there is a ninety percent chance that those missing people are detained in the Meteor Mountain Range, what you have to do is to enter the Meteor Mountain Range and rescue these people. ”
Marragon said it lightly, but Ulen noticed that as he entered the Meteor Mountains, the bag under his left eye jerked violently twice, and his cheeks bulged, a kind of gnashing of teeth that only someone who knows the danger and has experienced it.
"Okay, let's prepare!" Wu Lian remained silent and stood up to see off the guest.
Seeing the liaison Maragon step out of the hotel door, Lingling said softly, "I'm afraid there's something strange here. ”
"It's not just strange that you can explain it. Wu Lian went back to the house and sat down, and Luo Sheng and Miao Xiaodao also sat down around the table.
"It says to arrest young people, then soldiers, and finally girls......" Ulian pointed to the paper on the table, "But this young man happens to be the son of the richest man in Chili City, a soldier, and the captain of the corps, a girl, and the daughter of the city lord......"
"Blackmail!" Luo Sheng said: "It must be blackmail! This richest son, the daughter of the city lord, is worth a lot of money!"
"Then what do you do to catch an in-service captain of a corps?
"Uh...... Maybe this, this mountain balk captain, is also the illegitimate son of some rich man...... Yes, it must be so!" said Rosen, picking up the letter of inquiry on the table regarding the missing soldier and pointing to the name of Hill Balk.
"Yes, you big-headed ghost!" Ling Ling, who was holding the teapot and teacup, slapped one hand on the back of Luo Sheng's head.
"No, you can't make personal attacks!"
"I'm just going to attack!" Lingling said, slapping him on the back of the head three times in a row.
"My brain was knocked out by you!" Luo Sheng held his head in his hands and lay on the table.
"Silly big man, let me ask you," Wu Lian took the tea and asked Luo Sheng.
"You say!"
"Will you covet the richest man in Chilly City?"
"How is it possible, as a palace knight, how can I covet such a little money!" Luo Sheng took a sip of water and almost choked.
An ordinary merchant, no matter how wealthy, has property consisting of land, houses, businesses, etc., and the cash he can get may not be as much as that of a veteran soldier with him.
"Judging from the situation of Mountain Balk, the person who kidnapped him has at least the combat power of the senior stage, and it is not even ruled out that he is a near-god who will take away a senior stage captain in an instant......"
"Senior stage combat power? I'm not afraid, I also have this combat power!" Luo Sheng didn't care.
"A person who has at least senior stage combat power, how can it be that he kidnaps people for blackmail?"
"Yes, it can't be blackmail!" Luo Sheng said categorically, and Miao Xiaodao, who was sitting opposite him, sprayed him all over his face with a mouthful of water.
"What are you doing!"
"Hahaha...... It must be blackmail! The son of the richest man, the daughter of the city lord are worth a lot of money! Shanbalk must be the illegitimate son of a rich man!" Miao Xiaodao learned Luo Sheng's tone and learned vividly.
"Hahaha...... Luo Qi, I'll shoot you, and you don't have a long brain, it has nothing to do with it at all!"
"Alright, alright, let's go to these places tomorrow and see if we can find any clues. ”
"There are no eight teams or seven teams that came first, they didn't find any clues, what can we find! In my opinion, directly kill the Meteor Mountain Range!"
"Silly big guy!"
"Luo Qi, shut up!"
"Everyone give me a detailed investigation! Especially you, stupid big man, you go to Wachi's house and investigate me for half a month!"
"Half a month?"
"Yes, if Ye Zi doesn't come back for half a month, you will continue to investigate!"
"Oh my God, doesn't that have to be investigated?"
"Then pray that your brother's head will be a hundred times better than you......"
"You don't need to pray for this!"
It was a very lonely and boring afternoon, and Luo Sheng sat lazily in the largest restaurant in the city of Chilly, yawning idly.
This hotel, called 'Instant Ga', is the property of the richest man Wachi, who helped Wachi investigate and find his son Ponte's adventure team, which reached as many as thirteen, and the adventure team members came from all kinds, including swordsmen and mages, as well as missionary archers, these people all came from different adventure squads, not only had their own personalities, but also had all kinds of problems that made ordinary people unbearable, of course, as professionals, they had the qualifications to despise ordinary people.
These people are all elites, one idea after another, just after the examination of all the servants, someone proposed to check the entry and exit records of the city gate, and as soon as the scene of the disappearance was dismantled, it was immediately proposed that the possible routes of the criminals escape should be cut into the ground......
Luo Sheng ate all the restaurants in the surrounding area, it is said that he was looking for a place where the criminals might eat, and of course all the bills were sent to the richest man in Wachi.
Watty was not a generous man, and it was difficult for a generous person to afford such a large family business, but the disappearance of his son Ponte had made this shrewd businessman lose most of his thinking power, and he had become an ant on a hot pot.
He has only one son, he is still an old man, he loves him very much, he is afraid of melting in his mouth, he is afraid of falling in the palm of his hand, and early in the morning of the second day when his son Ponte disappeared, a reward notice was posted everywhere in the city, and those who provided effective clues were rewarded with 20,000 gold coins, and those who found his son were directly rewarded with 100,000 gold coins!
If you can't find your son, what's the use of having such a big family business?
Luo Sheng wasted time in a variety of ways, but he couldn't help pouting in his heart, this is better to train in the training center, thinking of this, he is ready to go out of the city, planning to find a secluded place to practice his hands, the training in the knight training center, only a little contact in the later stage, according to what Captain Yanette said, when to pierce the stake with a gun and the stake does not fall, strength training is considered a small success.
He stood up and noticed that he had some urgency, so he ran to the toilet behind the store to relieve himself. This kind of thing can't be held back, and it's all comfortable after solving it.
Luo Sheng wiped his hands on his buttocks, lowered his head and arched the door curtain, looked into the hall, and then was stunned.
An old man, sitting in his place, with his right hand on his side, looking down for something, his coat was under the old man's right hand!
Don't meet some thieves, although Luo Sheng is not afraid of thieves, but if something is stolen and wants to find it, it will be troublesome.
"Hey, old man, what are you turning over?" Luo Sheng raised his right hand and stretched out his hand to point at the old man.
"Come, little brother, sit down and say......" The old man did not flee in a panic like an ordinary thief who was recognized, and for this alone, Luo Sheng decided that this old man was not a thief.
"I said old man, this position was originally mine, and I naturally wanted to sit when I came back," although he knew that the person in front of him was not a thief, but he would definitely not forgive him instantly when a stranger looked through his things, "You sit in my place and turn over my things......"
"What do you call the little brother?" the old man didn't care, he waved his hand to interrupt Luo Sheng's words and asked.
"Luo Sheng! If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname!"
The old man's composure and naturalness immediately had a huge contrast with Luo Sheng's shouting, Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the old man was asking his name, and thought in his heart, although this old man has no force to support him, but he is definitely not an ordinary person, and he was deflated at the moment, and he didn't know when he would have this kind of temperament that did not change his face after a landslide.
"The old man came uninvited because these two rings ......" The old man raised the thing in his hand, and when he saw this thing, Luo Sheng was even more inexplicable.
The things in the old man's hand were nothing else, it was the iron ring of Oznak that he had found at the beginning, and the iron ring that Oznik gave to Luo Sheng, these two rings could not even be called rings, they could only be regarded as two iron rings, shoddy and unaesthetic.
After having a gold coin bag, all kinds of objects, Luo Sheng is stored in the gold coin bag, and these two rings are not anything valuable, but getting them, it is also a big story, and he is reluctant to throw them away, Luo Sheng took a rope and strung it up, and usually hung it on his coat as a decoration.
Luo Sheng still remembers how he got these two rings in the first place, and he was innocently beaten twice!
Don't?
The old man in front of him is the grandfather of the reckless brother?
It's good now, the loss can finally be recovered!
"Where did the little brother get these two rings?"
"Well, can you tell me about your relationship with the owner of this ring?"
"This one is my eldest son's, this one is my youngest son's......" The old man said here, his voice changed slightly, "The sons used to always use it for me to guess, but I always couldn't guess, but how did they know, in their eyes the ring is exactly the same, I have long been able to distinguish it, the eldest son's is much thicker, the shape of the iron bar twist is also different, the engraved words, scratches are also very different......"
Luo Sheng looked up, only to find that the old man's seemingly infinite tears quickly flooded one furrow after another on his face, wetting his entire face.
"I'm sorry, I like to reminisce about the past when I'm old, I'm sorry to ......"
"It's okay......"
"How did you get it? You boldly said that even if you killed them, I would not report them, after all, they have been missing for more than ten years, nearly twenty years......
"How could I have killed them!"
Luo Sheng sighed, because of the investigation recently, he met a lot of friends of Wachi and listened to the words of many rich people, and the old man in front of him said this, Luo Sheng immediately understood that from this kind of flat-headed people, there is not much benefit, it is better to give a favor generously.
Luo Sheng told the old man how Oznak blocked the road and how Oznik recognized the wrong person.
"This was seven or eight years ago, and with their skills, they probably mix much better than me!"
"Yes, that's great, I can't see them, but it's satisfying to know that they're alive!"
"You old man don't worry, you just have to worry that others won't be robbed by them! hahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
"Little brother, you can meet my two sons, they are my benefactors, they are the lucky stars of my family, I also have a daughter, who has also been missing for more than ten years, I don't know if the little brother has seen it. ”
"That's not necessarily, what kind of is your daughter's name Oz?" Luo Sheng laughed, "You're a professional loser!"
"My daughter's name is not Oz Anything, her name is Mineparo!"
"Why don't you call it Oz Nike, so that the three brothers and sisters are worthy!
"Minepalou!" is really my family's lucky star?
"Mineparo...... Minepalo ...... Where have I heard this name...... The Underground Palace, the Cave of Trials, the Habaru Mountains, No, No, No, the women I met could be counted on one hand, as if there was no ...... with that name."
Luo Sheng immediately competed with this somewhat awkward name, he looked up at the old man, and said very firmly: "I have heard this name, this time tomorrow, we will see you here!"
Luo Sheng quickly ran back to his residence, it was only half an afternoon, and the others had not come back yet, this time, Luo Sheng was even more anxious, wishing that he had a memory like the captain, if it wasn't like another spirit, it would be like a knife at the very least.
After all the calculations, it seems that he is really the person with the most difficult head in the team, and he can't help sighing.
