Chapter 4: Tasks

Sunlight shines through the thick foliage deep in the forest, in front of the three wooden huts.

Fireworks were being emitted into the sky from the huge chimney of one of the wooden houses.

A flock of flying geese passed by the sky here, as if they had encountered some terrible thing, and the formation was chaotic, and they fluttered their wings away from this place like crazy.

On a bamboo chaise longue at the entrance of the wooden house, a kind-looking old woman was basking in the sun leisurely.

At her side, Mo Yun squatted down, one on top of the other, with thin, mostly shabby linings.

"Such a small task was added on the fly, huh....... The Ranger Guild has always had to release the task first and then calculate, but there is no rule of making up the calculation after completing it first. The mission score is definitely gone, and it's still okay to give you more Ice Spirit Grass. The old woman was holding a cloth bag, and in the pocket was a dark silver sword with spots of rust, like the hilt of a sword that had not been polished for many years.

"Mother-in-law, this is a murderous soldier, I don't think you should get too close." Mo Yun stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, rested in front of the tree stump for a while, and then squatted down to pick up the stacked liners, and walked into the house with a large chimney.

"Because of this gun or sword, many people died, and most of these linings were theirs." Mo Yun carried some firewood and said with a complicated expression before stepping into the house.

"Later, when I sacrifice for them, give them more paper money to comfort them in the land of the Nine Hells and have a good home." The old woman smiled, ignoring Mo Yun's reminder.

Her knuckles flicked rhythmically on the hilt of her sword, which made a muffled sound.

The old woman listened attentively, thought about it again, and said, "The matter is almost done, and it is time to change places." ”

The old woman threw the murderer, who had killed hundreds of people, to the ground, stood up straight, stretched her waist, and then, as if remembering something, she bent down again and slowly paced into the chimney room.

There was a stove in the room, the surface of which was dark red, and from time to time silver threads that could only be seen by an old woman flowed.

Mo Yun was squatting beside the stove at the moment, pulling the bellows hard.

The liners he had brought in had all been thrown into the furnace, and the raging flames were devouring them one by one.

The old woman pricked up her ears and listened carefully for a while, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Mo Yun's fire is bigger, and I love to listen to this tearing fire." ”

"Huh?"

"Nothing. I'm getting out of here. This little clasp is for you as a souvenir, don't lose it. Maybe we will meet again in the future. The Ice Spirit Grass only has a three-day time limit when it leaves the soil, and using too much of it will hinder the flow of blood, so I have prepared an adequate amount for you. The old woman took out a small button from her pocket, which seemed to have been pulled from some piece of clothing, and a few yellow lines of unknown meaning were drawn on it.

"Mother-in-law, are you leaving? I'm two points short of a second-tier ranger. Mo Yun stopped the work in his hand, took the small buckle, and stared at it for a long time: "What's the use of this?" ”

"What use does it have to be? Don't be a little money fan. Why are you still not happy about the souvenir left by your mother-in-law? The old woman frowned and muttered.

"Where is my mother-in-law going? Need a guard? I can still earn some grade points. Mo Yun smiled wryly.

"You, if you get cheap, you still sell well, and you can earn the two bad grade points yourself. Mother-in-law doesn't have much time, so I can't go to the post station to send you grade points. The old woman looked at the flames in the stove and replied with a smile, "By the way, let's eat before leaving." ”

Mo Yun let out a disappointed "um", and the hand pulling the bellows unconsciously slowed down a few beats.

"You want to be inferior?" When the old woman saw that the fire had decreased, her face sank.

"I have a lot of strength!" Mo Yun didn't dare to make a mistake, this old woman looked kind, but he didn't know what his actual temperament was.

......

After a full meal, Mo Yun tied the small yellow thread buckle around his neck according to the old woman's instructions, and a cluster of dripping blue crystal leaves swayed in the package on his back.

The old woman tapped her fingers on the fierce soldier called a spear but looked like a sword handle a few more times, and then handed it to Mo Yun and said:

"I'll take a look at this thing, it's useless. I'll give it to you. She pondered for a moment, "If you don't want it either, you can also return it to Lang Ge." ”

"Huh? I don't want it! Mo Yun thought of the strange and cruel killing, and he didn't want to refuse.

"When the blood is full, it won't wake up again for a while." The old woman secretly chased after herself: "After all, it's just a broken part." ”

Mo Yun didn't take it immediately, and after thinking about it for a moment, he carefully asked, "Mother-in-law, can you bother to go to the post station to give me an additional task?" ”

"I can't." The old woman decisively refused.

"One is enough. I'll figure out the rest myself. Mo Yun hesitated for a moment, but still wrapped the hilt of the sword in his hand with a cloth bag, and looked at the old woman with expectant eyes.

The old woman didn't answer with a calm face, and after a while, the wrinkles on her face relaxed: "For Fang Cha's sake, after I leave, I will ask an old friend to make up for you and make up ninety-nine grade points." You'll have to wait, though. ”

"Well, I'm not in a hurry to have my mother-in-law. Hehe...... "Mo Yun was full of joy.

Then Mo Yun bowed respectfully to the old woman; "Mother-in-law. Without you, Xiaoqian's recovery is not so fast, thank you. ”

"Go ahead." The old woman waved her hand, looking like a sweeper who was hurrying away.

When Mo Yun walked all the way, the old woman's back slowly straightened.

A middle-aged man with frosty hair walked out of a wooden house, and although his eyes were dull, there was a fierce flash from time to time.

"Blue wilderness, extinguish the stove, take our things and let's go." The old woman waved her hand forward, and the wooden house with its large chimney dissolved into a layer of sand in an instant.

"Yes, Mother...... Mother. ”

A voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Wait. ”

.......

This small forest is located at the southwestern end of the Zhuzhan Plain, and ancient legends have ceded the ownership of the forest to heaven and earth.

The Southern Empire, which had once wanted to get its hands on the forest, gave up its claim to the forest after several losses.

There is a boulevard at the junction of the forest and the current Southern Empire, the Jun Empire. Mo Yun stepped out of the forest with a minor tune.

Outside the forest, a small cyan sedan chair was lifted, and there were several servant-looking people standing around them, and when they saw someone coming out of the forest, they immediately showed a look of vigilance.

"Everybody passing by, passing by. I'm a medicine picker. Look at it. Mo Yun pulled out a few Ice Spirit Grass from the back of his backpack from a safe enough distance from them.

The servants glanced at each other, and they didn't want to make a noise, and waved their hands to let Mo Yun leave.

Mo Yun walked for a while and stopped, patted the cloth pocket with his hand, looked back at the cyan sedan chair in the distance, thought for a moment, pouted and smiled: "It's too troublesome to send it back to Langge, it's better to give it to these people." ”

A gust of wind suddenly rushed away from the surroundings of the handymen. The stillness and movement made them vigilant, and they searched around but found nothing, and they were a little confused for a while.

An old man with his hands behind his back came out of the woods.

"Your Excellency." The servants immediately came up to meet them.

"Let's go back." The old man sat in the sedan chair with a gloomy expression, closed his eyes and rested for a while, but he still couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and touched his hand to the place where the tea was placed in the sedan chair, intending to use the tea to suppress the fire.

"Oh! This is to kill the old man! The old man's voice suddenly exploded in the sedan chair.

......

"I reminded you to protect that murderer." Among the ruins of the bombed-up Langge Dock Fort, one of the three Gui on Langge, who was not angry and arrogant, looked at Xi Sishi, who was covered with sweat in front of him, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Vice Lin followed aside, and out of the idea of making up for the merits, he rushed to speak: "A scavenger knows the person who took away the murderous soldiers. ”

Xi Sishi glanced at Vice Minister Lin viciously, and Vice Minister Lin didn't care about it at the moment and continued:

"That person's name is Mo Yun."

The eyes of one of the three Gui were slightly glazed: "The surname is Mo? Interesting. ”

"Xiao Xi, you don't have anything to say? If you are all said by Vice Minister Lin, you will be of little use. ”

Vice Lin's heart shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly lowered his body, not daring to say more.

Xi Sishi swallowed his saliva: "A man named Axia stole the murderer with his team and is now being held in custody. It's an active member of the Tiance Army. ”

One of Shang Sangui was silent for a while, and then laughed: "Spread the news to the Tiance Army and release Ah Xia." Remember it's Asha! As for the 'dark flower', if you dare to make trouble on the head of Langge, you are afraid that it will not be small. I'll find out when I get back. Wu Aliang died innocently, and all his family were expelled from Langge. They will be responsible for the matter here, and Xiao Xi and Vice Lin will go back with me to be investigated. ”

Behind him were three "shadows", and Xi Sishi and Vice Lin guessed that they were Langge's "Taishang", an intelligence organization dedicated to serving Langge.

In addition to intelligence, sometimes they also kill people, whether they are traitors or foreign enemies.

"Obey the command." Several people bowed in response.

"As long as the murderer." One of the three guis coldly popped out four words.

The three "shadows" nodded silently.
