"Alright, that's it."

The few people sitting next to the campfire didn't wait long, and the voice belonging to Gedmane appeared with his figure in the darkness illuminated by the firelight, and he took a big gulp of water before holding up the parchment scroll in his hand to the others: "The fire seal was printed by them, so it can only be opened by themselves - these are the new tasks we can confirm." ”

"Is that all there is to it?" Asahi Dongsheng, who came closer to the side, also widened his eyes: "It's so mysterious, it must be a lofty task, right?" ”

"It's not very lofty, but it does seem a little more important than what we accomplished today." Reluctantly putting away his movements, Gedmayne patted the parchment and replied in a low voice, "That Humob also said that as long as we can complete these new tasks, they will be rewarded. ”

"Yes, yes? Let me see. Grabbing the parchment scroll that Gedmane had just shown here, Sunrise's impatient expression became more apparent: "Clean-up threats, clean-up threats, and clean-up obstacles...... Why are they all such tasks? ”

"Cleanup Threats...... ? Different from the doubts written on Asahi Dongsheng's face at this time, Duan Qing, who was also looking at these words, made a deep voice again: "Although it is not written what the specific threat is, it must be different from the previous hunt, right?" ”

"That's right, these so-called 'threats' are certainly not ordinary jackals and beasts." Touching his chin, Xue Ling's icy gaze also lowered: "Maybe we're going to become mercenaries, the kind that helps others fight." ”

"What, what strange things did you put out during my absence?" Gedemayne, who pouted, kicked the rising sun and the east rising sun, who was still fiddling with the scroll, away: "Could it be that the Hulun clan is going to war?" ”

"It's hard to say at the moment, it's just a little more likely." After giving such an answer, Xue Ling Phantom Ice involuntarily returned her gaze to Duan Qing's body: "Of course, Your Excellency this magician also has some different opinions, and it sounds very reasonable, so——"

"Hey, there's no conflict between the two." Duan Qing, who had a curl of the corners of her mouth, then interrupted the white-haired woman's speech in an angry voice: "Aggression for resources is also aggression, aggression for other reasons is also aggression, and the outcome of a war will make no difference." ”

"Isn't it true that the nonsense that Asahi mentioned earlier?" Gedman, who was looking back and forth at the two people, suddenly asked, "These so-called clean-up threat missions are actually used to clean up scouts?" ”

"Clearing up the threat is the preparation for starting a war." Nodding his head, Duan Qing replied in a low voice in a cautious tone: "Originally, we were still thinking about what other clues could prove this, but I didn't expect you to bring back the 'evidence' so quickly." ”

"Not necessarily, after all, we don't know exactly what the so-called 'threat' is." Waving his hand, Duan Qing pulled out the heavy atmosphere that had gathered around the bonfire: "Everything will have to wait until it is actually confirmed—hmm, you should have no opinion, right?" ”

"Of course there is no opinion, all of them are all answered!" Asahi Dongsheng, who was still fiddling with the scroll, was the first to jump up and speak: "Lao Tzu happens to have itchy hands recently, so give me the task that fights the most!" ”

"Don't worry, these tasks are still beyond the level that the four of us can afford." The Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on the side sighed and took the scroll: "And unlike the ordinary daily life we completed today, these things involving combat are definitely not something that we can do alone, if we continue to divide the troops to fight-"

"I suggest that we divide our forces and fight." Duan Qing on the side interjected his voice again: "Since it is a threat to help clean up the surrounding area, these tasks will definitely not be completely handed over to us outsiders, the Hulun clan will definitely send their own troops to these places, we are just with the team." ”

"Unless they don't care if we live or die." His voice paused for a moment, and the next sentence that sounded again made the other players present frown at the same time: "If these guys want to trade our lives for information about these areas, it is possible that they will send these missions to us without care." ”

"In this case, we will not be able to divide our forces, and if the enemy is really too strong, we will not be able to complete the mission at all."

"What are you afraid of, isn't it a dead word? As long as the cover is good enough, hanging back will only make us pass on the information a little faster. ”

"Look at the words written clearly, our mission is to 'eliminate the threat', not 'detect the threat', what's the use of just dying back with the enemy's intelligence? They're definitely not going to count us through the level in this way, and they're not going to give us any rewards for the mission. ”

"We may not get any mission rewards, but we can definitely get the relevant reputation, don't they just want strategic intelligence? As long as I can bring all this information back......"

The air around the bonfire became louder and louder as the discussion intensified, and at the same time, Duan Qing reluctantly pressed back what he originally wanted to say, and then he smiled bitterly, and then he stopped paying attention to the people who were still arguing with each other, and returned his gaze to the sheepskin scroll in front of him: "...... Hey? ”

"I think there's another mission."

Pointing to the bottom of the scroll, his voice was full of strangeness: "Looking for the lost woman...... Missing person notice? How can we even encounter a missing person notice? ”

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot." Also stopping the discussion, Gedemaine scratched his head and replied in a low voice: "That's right, there is indeed such a daily task, I was puzzled when I saw it at first, but when Hu Mobei introduced it, he also deliberately pointed out this missing person notice." ”

"He said it was just a task that came to us in passing, and it didn't matter if we didn't do it."

He pointed to the scribbled and random words, as if mimicking the way the middle-aged gray-and-white man spoke to him: "But if any clues about this missing woman are found in the next time—"

"Be sure to let us know as soon as possible."

*******************************

I don't know if they were aware of the tense atmosphere around this settlement, the passage of time that belonged to Duan Qing and the others seemed to have become much faster, and after a brief rest, they also followed the arrival of another morning, and set off separately along the plan of action discussed the night before-After the final heated debate, the four people belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group finally chose to act separately to deal with these advanced tasks, but in order to ensure their respective safety and the success rate of completing the mission, They still did their best to analyze each and every one of these "threats" in detail.

"The corner edge to the northeast, the seaside to the east, the South Road, and the hills on the South Road...... Well, the strategic location is relatively important. ”

"But it's almost all open grassland, and all the terrain can be seen in full view - can this kind of place really hide people?"

"Don't forget the underground ruins we have entered before, since the ancients learned to dig caves and hide people, why can't modern people?"

"And they don't need to hide anyone, because the mission given by the Hulun tribe doesn't mention what the threat is, considering the hidden existence of those beasts that we have encountered before, these unknown threats may be secretly planted by that tribe......"

"Forget it, leave it to you to judge for yourselves."

Waving his hand, Duan Qing, who was walking between the tents, waved the noisy sounds that were still lingering in his mind out of his mind, and the gray-robed figure who looked around then sighed deeply among the countless figures shuttling around him, and finally raised the information recorded in his adventurer's handbook in front of him again: "The battle won't let me go, and the reconnaissance won't let me be responsible...... Really, do you look down on my fighting ability so much? ”

"And I have to be in charge of this tracing mission?" His gaze wandered for a long time in the words he had written down as thin as mosquitoes and flies, and the helplessness in his eyes became more and more obvious: "Do you look down on people like this?" I'm just like that kind of logistics uncle who watches the gate? ”

"Uncle in front, please give way." Behind him came the shouts of a tribal girl pushing a wooden cart: "Where are the strangers, get in the way and get in the way somewhere else." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Nodding his head and letting go of his position, Duan Qing, who watched the clansman disappear into the crowd, then slowly put away his smiling expression: "Okay, it's better to talk less nonsense, wait for Lao Tzu to finish this task as quickly as possible, and see how Lao Tzu mocks those guys who like to grab tasks...... Not. ”

"I guess this is it."

The muttering voice followed the unhurried walk and then came between the two tents, one large and one small, close to each other, Duan Qing, who was holding the adventurer's manual, stopped his steps, he looked up and compared the tent in front of him with the target position he wanted to find, and finally reached out and pulled the rope used to call the door next to him with some caution: "Hello, is there anyone?" ”

"Who?" The sound of breaking wind lifting the curtain appeared directly in front of Duan Qing with the faint sound of the bell, and a tribal man with loose hair and clothes that looked a little messy stretched out his head sullenly: "What are you doing?" ”

"Uh, I'm here to find someone." Seemingly frightened by the attitude of the man in front of him, Duan Qing, who was stunned for a moment, then pointed to his adventurer's manual and asked in a low voice, "A woman named Nahia is about one meter six or seven ...... Uh, no, in this parlance, it should be nearly two fathoms high, wearing-"

"I haven't seen it." Before Duan Qing could finish his words, the man said coldly: "Let's go." ”

"Huh? Oops, hey, wait. Looking at the scene of the tribal man retracting his head back into the tent, Duan Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the other party: "Shouldn't this person be your family's daughter?" How could you not have seen it? I just wanted to come over and ask for more details—"

"I said I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it, and I don't have anything to tell you!" Lifting the curtain in front of him again, the man pushed Duan Qing back in a more blunt and irritable tone: "If you want to inquire about things, go to other places to inquire!" Otherwise—wait. ”

"What's that woman's name?"

His eyes full of anger rolled, and the man suddenly asked out loud as if he had just reacted, and Duan Qing, who was stunned again by the change in the other party's attitude, also stopped retreating, and subconsciously read the first message recorded in the manual again: "Na, Naxia, what's wrong?" ”

"Nahia?" Biting the word and repeating it, the tribal man asked in a voice that was so low that it was inaudible, "Is it Nadi Brünnhilde Cynthia?" ”

"-What? Do you repeat again? Gradually, his eyes widened, and Duan Qing asked in an exclamatory voice, "Could this be her real name?" ”

"Since I don't even know the name, it seems that I don't have anything more to tell you." Looking coldly at each other's faces, the tribal man replied in an indifferent voice, "Let's go, don't bother me again." ”

"Don't, don't, give me another chance." Stopping the other party's action of wanting to retract his head again, Duan Qing's eyes that lit up again were also full of strange brilliance: "I am an adventurer from the north, and I don't know much about the Hulun clan and the situation within the clan, but we are an adventure group that specializes in dealing with various incurable diseases, and we are very good at solving problems." ”

"This search is also a task specially entrusted to us by your elder Mr. Hu Mope, if you don't believe him, you can ask him." The gray-robed magician clutched his chest: "If you still lack trust in us, then give us some chances, we can prove our skills." ”

"Elder Humobe." Breaking free of the wrist that was being pulled, the tribal man's voice was full of suspicion when he spoke again: "He sent you here?" ”

"Yes, yes." The expression full of confidence turned into a complimenting dry smile in the next moment, and Duan Qing, who was flattering his hands, hurriedly came to the other party again: "Please forgive me for my previous series of rude behaviors, but I am also doing this in order to find your daughter as soon as possible, and please see this gentleman in the face of the elder, forgive me, forgive me." ”

"She's not my daughter." Interrupting Duan Qing's words, the tribal man's voice when he spoke again was filled with indifference again: "That wild seed that doesn't know where it came from-"

"If she wants to go, then let her go."
