"But what?" Dambert's eyes chased her and asked.

"The Red Scorpion Adventure Group has another special mission assigned to you by the Association that needs to be carried out as soon as possible." Irina replied to meet his gaze without evasion, "So this urgent mission, other adventure groups, adventure party squads, and scattered adventurers can all participate, but the reason why the Red Scorpion Adventure Group was summoned here is for another matter." ”

"So what is this special mission that belongs to us?" Dambert's brows furrowed slightly, "It's heavier than this urgent mission, or isn't it?" ”

"More important than this urgent mission." Irina looked at him seriously, "Because the Black Mist Swamp in the south of the Copper Crown Mine is suspected to have appeared as an adult black dragon recently. The Red Scorpion is the largest group in Twilight City, and the Lord of the City trusts your strength, so he has arranged for you to split up with other adventurers and rush to the Coppercrown Mine to assist the guards of the mine camp in defending against possible dragon attacks during the attack on Lumberjack Village. ”

As the words fell, she removed the seriousness on her face and winked at the red-haired Mr. Commander, the corners of her mouth curled like a little devil who had succeeded in mischief.

Many in the hall, including Dambert, were immediately stunned by the reason she gave and the subtle look on her face.

But then, everyone reacted, and then laughed with Dambert's darker and darker face, as if it was very rare to see a refreshing and comfortable comedy performance, after all, the Black Mist Swamp is located in the south of the Copper Crown Mine, and although the mutant flying snakes there often infest the mine camps in the mining area, powerful creatures with high intelligence such as dragons are not as "cheap and cheap" as those flying snakes in large numbers.

The black dragon does like to build its nest in a dark and damp swamp area, but the sentinel guards on the other side of the mine camp are not blind, not to mention that the black dragon mentioned by Irina is only "suspected" to have appeared in the black fog swamp recently.

In short, the red-haired red scorpion leader soon realized that he had been tricked. If he remembered correctly, he remembered that his adventure party had gone to that mining area half a month ago to carry out a regular mission to exterminate the gnolls and bandits.

Black Dragon? What's that?

Is it okay to make a reliable draft before bluffing?

Dambert thought so in his heart, but he naturally wouldn't say it like this, and he immediately understood in his mind that the Adventurers' Guild seemed to have anticipated his actions in advance, so he planned to make up a lie about the black dragon's infestation and send the Red Scorpion Adventure Group to the side of the mine to stand guard for a few days.

The right to interpret the content of the adventure mission always belongs to the association, and he cannot take advantage of this loophole to make a strong rebuttal.

As for the other adventurers present, almost everyone knew that Irina was lying—but they were more interested in seeing Dambert's jokes than they were in the last duel with Urs.

The sound of laughter surrounded the core members of the Red Scorpion Adventure Group noisily for a while.

Dambert kept his composure behind the arrogance, and quickly guessed Irina's true intentions on behalf of the Adventurers' Guild, and even the dragon vein mage city lord who sat behind the scenes of the city.

In this way, the Scorpion Adventure Troupe's various high-profile performances over the past few years seem to have succeeded in attracting Victor's attention.

He rolled his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and then feigned disappointment and said, "Well, the Red Scorpion Adventure Group respects the Guild's decision...... But now that the logging village in the north and the copper crown mine in the west have happened at the same time, and the city lord still refuses to show his face in front of us adventurers, could there be some deeper reason here? ”

With that, he spread out his hands and glanced back and forth at the others in the hall with an innocent expression.

Dambert's face was very unbeaten at this time, but the point he put forward in his words woke up many people's heads at once.

The so-called black dragon on the Black Mist Swamp was most likely just a deliberate cover for the Red Scorpion Adventure Group, but the situation in the Logging Village was indeed a bit serious according to Irina's description.

Even if the Lord likes to live behind the scenes and delegate the day-to-day management of Twilight City to the City Council, he should really put down his body and show his face at this time, right?

Although this red-headed regiment leader has a bad character, his remarks are not unreasonable.

In the face of Dambert's verbal offensive in this round, the smug smile that had just bloomed on Irina's face immediately retracted.

The blonde-haired and green-eyed lady in charge had expected that Dambert would jump out at this juncture to make trouble, but she didn't expect that the other party would suddenly use her adoptive father, the city lord, who remained secret, as a breakthrough in this negotiation.

Suddenly, her heart wavered, but then she calmly stabilized her mentality, and after thinking for a long time, she replied to it: "Lord of the City... There are also very important things that need to be handled by hand. ”

"Oh? It's important again, the third thing? When Dambert heard this, he immediately pretended to be surprised and moved his gaze back to Irina, "Then let's not talk about the demonic beasts of the Spotted Axe Forest and the black dragons of the Black Mist Swamp for the time being. Madam Principal, can you tell us what the Castle Lord is up to? Just give a hint to make us adventurers believe we're not being kept in the dark by you city officials. ”

"Lord of the Castle...... Meet a guest who means a lot to Twilight. ”

"What kind of guest?"

"No comment." Irina glared at him with a serious look in her eyes, and suddenly gave a warning, "Captain Dambert, you are the leader of the Red Scorpion Adventure Band, but you are not yet a high-level councilor in Twilight City, please pay attention to your words and identity. ”

"Okay, well, as an ordinary adventurer, it seems that I really don't have the authority to know the important things about the upper echelons of Twilight City." Dambert sighed helplessly, "But as far as my personal guess goes, the distinguished guest that the city lord wants to meet should not be a secret envoy from the Golden Que Ying Empire, right?" ”

With that, he raised his arm and directed everyone's eyes to deflect in a certain direction in the hall.

In the next second, Urs looked at the countless pairs of eyes that suddenly gathered on his side, and was stunned, what did he say?

What is that red-haired monkey going to do?

The black-haired young man didn't expect that he would lie down inexplicably.

He sat in his place, turning his head to meet Dambert's eyes, the shackled coat of arms on the side of his neck, which symbolized the slave knights of the Empire, was in fact a public secret known to almost everyone in adventurer's circles during his time in Twilight, but not to each other's faces.

Dambert put the hat of the so-called imperial secret envoy on his head, could it be that he wanted more adventurers to be jealous of his sensitive identity, so as to curb his own development prospects, in order to avenge the last time he made a fool of himself in a duel?

Belch...... Feeling that the current leader of the first regiment in his dignified city, he spared such a big circle just to make a loop for himself?

It's a suffocating operation......

Urs's brain was racing rapidly, and his experience had led him to realize that Dambert was indeed playing tricks on himself, but that his motivation for doing so was more than simply a straightforward desire for revenge.

The direction of thinking in the hall of the association has almost been successfully mobilized by the red-haired red scorpion leader.

Draco Barton and Ted Hirst exchanged glances at each other as they stood at the front desk in the lobby, as if they were asking each other for advice on whether it was time to take control of the scene.

But at this moment, Dambert suddenly clicked, turned to look at the three official members of the association in the direction of the front desk of the hall and explained: "Of course, this baseless inference and assumption is just my personal whimsy, please don't take it to heart." ”

After saying that, he apologized to Irina for his overly radical questioning behavior just now, and then led the core members of the Red Scorpion Adventure Group to exit the hall of the association first, after all, the special task assigned to them by the Adventurer Guild through Irina's mouth had to be carried out as soon as possible, the number one group in the city.

In this way, the high-profile behavior of the red-headed head this time seems to end here on the surface......
