Gross didn't perceive any malice in the waiter in front of him, and when he found out that it was an inaugural high-ranking person, he seemed to see something from behind the fog of history—

About Princess Samantha's trip to the Northland.

In his previous life, as a player, he didn't spend extra time digging deeper, but now that he came to this world, he suddenly had some curiosity.

He smiled and nodded.

After indicating his intentions, Derek graciously led the guests to the room on the second floor.

The room was also clean, and there was not a single trace of dust to be found in the gaps between the foot of the bed and the window.

When the little waiter had left, Gross came to the ledge, and he looked out into the street, where the tavern was located on the Wild Chrysanthemum Street of Karsas, a long street that seemed to divide Kartas into two major towns, north and south.

Among them, the southern city is mainly inhabited by civilians, such as merchants, artisans, craftsmen, etc., and some mercenary groups also have stations or offices in this area.

Gross looked far away.

In the field of vision is a large area of gray-white houses, built by a large number of curved roofs close to hemispheres, arched doors and windows, and countless round columns and waistlines, from the outside, it looks like the Romanesque architecture of the world where Gross lived in his previous life-

In fact, in the game, this is also an Elantlic style of architecture. Unlike the imitation Gothic architecture advocated by the Church of Shenghui, the nobility and craftsmen of the kingdom had an almost paranoid love and fanaticism for this style.

His companion and Miss Mage, Ladia, also gathered around the windowsill, taking in the city:

The wide, straight streets run from west to east, planted with shady trees at intervals, and the smooth pavement is made of stone slabs. On this street, a narrow road for passers-by and a carriage lane in the middle are specially divided, and between the two parallel roads, a square drainage ditch is built.

This is the capital of Northdinogo, Calthas.

However, the current bandit leader was not very interested in this extremely aesthetic landscape, and his eyes scanned as if he was looking for something.

Nancheng District.

On this trip to Calthas, in addition to going to the Church of Shenghui on Cedar Street, he had another plan.

When he walked through the city gate, he suddenly remembered a very important mission, a hidden mission that had existed since the beginning of the game.

It's the middle of November in the year of the New Moon, and it's very close to that time. And according to the clues of that mission, he knew that he could almost intervene -

Ignati Woods, a man's name.

He's a businessman who lives in an alley in the south of Karlsas, and to be precise, a down-and-out bankrupt businessman—

Back this summer, his livestock business was declared bankrupt due to a sudden epidemic, and he owed a large amount of rael to local loan sharks.

These usurers are a bunch of ruffians on the surface, but in reality, it is the aristocracy who secretly controls it all - in the thirty years before the outbreak of the "Fog Pine War", the Elantra kingdom has rapidly fallen not only to its military power, but also to its morality and human heart.

When the fields are no longer planted with crops, the weeds begin to grow wildly.

When the former honor and responsibility fade from the heart, most people's souls have indulged in desire. All kinds of desires, including money, power, beauty......

Something precious is twisting.

The decay begins on the surface of the skin, invades the flesh, and eventually reaches the bone marrow.

Ignati Woods, the hapless merchant whose only daughter had been taken by the shameful ruffians because of that high debt, left a stern warning:

If he is unable to repay all the principal and interest within the specified period in the future, his only daughter will be sent to a brothel~.

Gross remembers that the mission was called "Ignati Woods, the Merchant of Grief." There are two options for completing this task: to pay off the businessman's debts, or to rescue his daughter Eve.

The latter inevitably has a violent solution, in short, fighting.

Gross's current strength is much stronger than those gamers back then, not to mention, he is a skilled battle maniac himself, and with the presence of his companions and Miss Mage, he really can't find a reason for him to give up the second option.

The trouble that can be solved by the sword does not cost Rael.

This is a well-known quote from Dissension.

The reward for this quest is a sacred enchantment scroll from merchant Ignati Woods. The origin of this item is unknown, but Gross knows exactly what it does-

Convert a weapon into a Hallowed weapon, dealing 200% damage to the unclean dead.

After the outbreak of the local war between Elantra and Dill in the Year of the Red Moon, this quest became a must for players -

Initially, no one discovered this hidden mission. It wasn't until one day later, when a player who accidentally completed this task posted a message on the official forum and posted a screenshot of the weapon's attributes, that the other players suddenly realized.

It turns out that the battle with those bone frames can not be so hard.

In order to harvest the bones more efficiently in the near future, Gross has decided to go to the southern city to find the merchant.

Before that, all he had to do was heal the wound in his right arm.

According to his current combat level, a small bottle of Life Holy Water would be enough.

It was still early in the morning, and after settling the horses and some bulky items that were inconvenient to carry with them, Gross and his party quickly left the "Traveler's House." ”

In the tavern, Todd, the young man who had never spoken much, and had the title of "dumb", walked up to Derek, patted his shoulder lightly, and his cold and undulating voice seemed to be squeezed out of his chest:

"You're interested in them?"

"Ahh Todd, why did you wake up so early today? ”

"It's time to prepare a new batch of ale."

"Ale? Todd, two soles a glass of ale, I always felt there was something wrong. ”

With a piece of burlap in his hand, and after wiping all the tables and chairs, he began to tidy up the counter.

"Questions?"

Todd stared at Derek with a pair of vicissitudes of gray eyes, "Didn't you drink it too?" ”

"I got drunk after just one drink that day, haha-"

Referring to the events of that night, Derek didn't want to mention it again, and couldn't help but touch his hair with an embarrassed smile.

……

"Those people have all escaped!"

In the middle of the mountain forest, Fred and Princess Samantha, who had been raided, led a cavalry team to the hillside, and they found some traces of the ambush's activities, but the traces of those people disappeared without a trace.

Soon, the battle-hardened cavalry found a clue - somewhere on the hillside, there were also some hooks and long ropes hanging from the wall of the hillside.

The ambushers escaped by climbing ropes!

The road in the valley was blocked by piles of huge rocks and cluttered trees.

Fred's face turned an extremely ugly blue-gray.
