As the sun rose again, the morning bells rang in turn from the twenty-five temples of the city of Navia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bell, bell!

With the sound of loud and rhythmic bells, the people of the city of Navia begin their day.

The officer walked into the chamber.

The merchants walked to the bazaars and shops.

Civilians headed for their place of work.

More people, however, gathered outside the city of Navia.

These were farmers, hunters, and more often merchants.

As the most important city in the south, Navia City has become the political and commercial center of the entire south since it was liberated from the evil gods by the 'hero' Iger three hundred years ago.

Every day, hundreds of merchants laden with goods come here and set out for the villages and towns with the same amount of goods.

When the gates of Navia opened, the merchants with their identity credentials consciously lined up, and next to them were a procession of farmers and hunters from the vicinity of Navia.

Unlike other cities, the farmers and hunters near Navia City have a bit of pride in their eyes and faces, and although they don't live in the city, they are also Navia people, unlike outsiders.

The merchants who frequented the city of Navia were apparently accustomed to the attitude of farmers and hunters.

Even first-time businessmen have undoubtedly heard of the rules here, and they have maintained a sense of humility.

These merchants don't want to delay their time in the city because of some unnecessary trivialities.

You know, the guards of Navia City are notoriously 'impartial'.

"Two brass for each man, five for horses and mules, and five for those with carts!"

The tax collector standing at the gate shouted.

At the other party's feet was a half-human-high wooden box, with an iron lock on one side, and a thin gap on the box that could only fit copper.

Each merchant who passes by will invest a corresponding amount of tax according to the composition of his team.

At the same time, let the city guards inspect the goods they have brought.

The team moved forward in an orderly manner.

There were no incidents.

But even so, when Mileser found the three accomplices, it was already close to noon.

The sun overhead, glowing with a scorching glow.

After Marzer gestured to the three accomplices, the three men immediately followed, leading two horses pulling the cart.

The four of them then met at the 'Charging Stables' inn.

"How's it going, Myerzer?"

One of the three, after entering the room, asked directly.

Instead of answering, Myrzer took a step to the side, and the mimosa wearing a hood walked out of the middle and walked out quickly.

"Myerzer, you!"

Looking at the mimosa that came out, the person who asked immediately reacted that something was wrong, but before the other party could say anything, the two accomplices of the other party fainted to the ground.

"Your Excellency."

Controlled by the [Ring of Mesli], Myrzer saluted respectfully to Qin Ran who came out of the shadows.

"He's the lead Pilke?"

Qin Ran pointed to the one who spoke before and asked.

"Yes, sir."

Melzer said truthfully.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran simply woke up the other party and used the [Ring of Mesli] to control the other party again.

With Qin Ran's spiritual attributes, the other party didn't have any resistance at all, and he was controlled.

"Your Excellency."

As soon as he turned over, Pilke got up from the ground and saluted Qin Ran respectfully.

"Tell me everything you know about this operation."

Qin Ran said.

"Yes, sir."

"I was one of the guards on the periphery, and I was not involved in the theft of the Holy Grail, in fact, I didn't even know how many people had stolen the Holy Grail before, and those two just asked us to call them Your Excellency and Your Excellency, and then, I witnessed their baptism."

"The two Lords promised me a place for baptism, so I was willing to take a chance, and I did as they told me to kill the merchant, disguise myself as the other party, and blend in with the ranks of the merchants, and return to the city of Navia."

The other party said truthfully.

"Did they give you a special marking?"

"Have you seen their faces?"

Qin Ran asked.

"There are markers, but I haven't seen their faces."

"They said that when we returned to Navia, we would just hang a strip of red cloth outside the window of the hotel where we were staying."

The other party nodded.

"Red strips?"

Qin Ran smiled disdainfully.

He was more than ninety percent sure that when the red cloth strip was hung out, it would definitely be the city guards and temple knights who appeared.

These two people who really stole the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' are undoubtedly very cautious and cunning.

They had planned to make the four of them scapegoats before they chose Mileser and Pilker, so Mileser didn't know them.

Even, with the exception of Milese, the three Pierc were all outsiders.

Moreover, from beginning to end, neither of them showed up, but relied on the note to direct the actions of the four people, even when it was baptized, it was to cover the real faces.

"Is there anything else you should care about?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"Nope."

The other shook his head.

Then, Qin Ran asked a few more questions, and combined with Mileser's answer two days ago, a clearer context of things appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

"The need for the Holy Grail for baptism means that the strength of the two is not strong, or they are in dire need of strength."

"And under such a premise, the other party was able to steal the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' and find a scapegoat...... In other words, at least one of the two should be related to the 'Temple of Thorns'. ”

"A person who has access to the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' and is not very strong?"

Qin Ran guessed.

And with such speculation, the hint of the side quest rings in the ears.

Not one, but two.

【Discover Side Quest: Traders】

[Merchant: A good disguise, but you have to act like a merchant!] 】

……

[Discover Side Quest: Daring]

[Daring: Stealing the Holy Grail in the temple is not something ordinary people can do, find these two thieves!] 】

……

Qin Ran's gaze swept over the two side quests, his gaze slightly surprised.

He had already expected the appearance of side quests.

But what Qin Ran expected was a side quest related to stealing the 'Holy Grail of Thorns', not a merchant.

"Is there a side quest because it's related to the main quest?"

Qin Ran looked at the two side quests and muttered for a moment, then his gaze turned to the mimosa.

"I have a side quest hint here, do you have one?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Nope."

Mimosa immediately shook her head.

"Sure enough, side quests also require certain trigger conditions, and it's not just a matter of teaming up and being together all the time."

Qin Ran, who lacked experience in teaming up to complete the dungeon, summed up.

It's a knee-jerk behavior.

Just as cautious as he was.

Qin Ran waved his hand at Mileser and Pilke, and after quickly commanding the two of them, he stood up.

"Get up, we need to go out for a walk!"

"This afternoon's market will definitely be lively!"

"If we're lucky, we might have something unexpected!"

Qin Ran said so.
