Chapter 380: Maybe One Step Later
"There are no obvious landmarks in the swamp, but that's probably the area. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Orson crushed the half-dried monster claw marks on the ground, "Further on, it is the realm where the Hunter Guild has not had time to explore after the thick fog rises." ”
"There is no special intelligence in this direction." The eyes of the entourage were still full of suspicion, and he stood only half a step away from the one-star hunter, saying that it was an auxiliary exploration, but it was actually no different from escorting, "Where do you want to lead the Lord to?" ”
"Big brother, don't be impatient...... "Although Osin is a few years older than the two-star hunter with the badge of the Royal Hunting Regiment, he still looks like a junior, "Less than a day ago, the nearby outpost issued several expulsion commissions in a concentrated manner, temporarily driving the range of several monster communities west of this place more than a dozen kilometers to the west...... Among them is a powerful black wolf bird. ”
The hunter who followed closely beside Orson used his afterglow to check with his companion behind him, and received an affirmative signal from the latter.
"The Hunting Sacrifice Committee wouldn't do such a thankless thing for no reason, you're right, this area does not even have much information to explore," the One-Star Hunter waved his fleshy hand to dispel the fog in front of him, "but it's not because it's nothing special, but the Committee, or Guo Peng, is deliberately hiding information about it." ”
At first glance, when he heard the real name of the five-star hunter, the surrounding hunters all showed varying degrees of discomfort. Even if Wang Li Hunter and the Hunter Guild are not subordinate to each other, respect for the strong in the hunter world is one of the basic creeds, even if he is the head of Wang Li's hunting group, when he sees Guo Peng, he must call him "Master Guo" with full face. The fat man in front of him has no taboos, and it seems that he doesn't care much about the rewards of the game he likes, if such a person is not crazy, to some extent, it is quite a terrible existence. Thinking of his previous annoying gestures and language, the accompanying two-star hunter couldn't help but glance at Orson twice, lest he do something out of the ordinary.
"Three days ago, a team was sent to explore here in the nearby camp, and there were two three-star hunters in the team, and the team was led by a four-star powerhouse. I saw the completion of their achievements and the amount of remuneration in the commission records, but I did not see the detailed commission records. Their lines of action, exploration records, and combat information have all been hidden, presumably directly set as classified by the committee. It's a pity that the dense fog and monster movements erased most of the traces......" Ao Sen didn't seem to see the strange gaze of Wang Li's hunters, and walked in front of himself, babbling non-stop.
"This doesn't mean anything, if the action records of high-level hunters are easily exposed to low-level hunters, it will become more misleading than a reference." The accompanying two-star hunter interjected, "Maybe the committee is just here to protect the contestants." ”
"A long time ago, during a regular exploration commission, a one-star hunter who was lucky enough to escape mentioned 'Dense Mist' and 'Never-Seen Beasts' in the commission's report, and the location was this area, which is the latest specific information I can find about this area. Since then, with the exception of a direct dispatch by the Excision Committee, all investigative commissions have been temporarily suspended, and there has been no record of an exploration team coming. Orson pretended to be deep and said, "Sounds familiar, right? In this hunting ground, not only commissions, but everything is interconnected. Whether or not we can see it depends only on whether you and I have enough information -- for example, have you not guessed how this obscuring fog has risen? ”
"How sure are you about the location of the ruins?" Aemon interrupted the smug smug of the one-star hunter.
"Thirty percent? Maybe less. Orson spread his hands and said, "So far, I'm the only one sharing information. I don't know what type of ruins you're looking for, or what kind of features they have. If Your Highness is kind enough to reveal something to me, maybe I can think of more. ”
"That's enough." The young man in scarlet saw the caution on the face of the two-star hunter, and the information that he was about to blurt out was stifled back by him, "Search separately." ”
…………
"How?" Since dozens of minutes ago, Emmon's gaze has not left this fat man who has joined the team in a daze.
"Didn't find it." The explorer who had just returned shook his head and said, "The fog is too thick, and the field of vision is less than 100 meters, so even if there is anything, it will be easily overlooked." ”
More than a dozen team members came back one after another, most of them with a look of no gain, and in addition to being disappointed, they couldn't help but have extreme doubts about the fat boy's judgment - the lord had only promised this short and fat one-star hunter that he could act with the team, but he unwittingly became the leader of the team. Orson's face was full of the paranoia and fanaticism of the weak, but he was able to convince the lord, and perhaps from the beginning, the decision to let him accompany the team was wrong.
"See what I'm doing?" Orson said innocently, "You must have your own sources of information, check every piece of information I provide to see if any of them I made up?" Even if you analyze and adjust it yourself, most of you will probably come here, but it will be half a day slower than me, and by that time, whoever is competing with you for the treasure will already be the first to go. ”
"That's enough," the young man in scarlet coughed, "there are still three subordinates who have not returned, and if we still can't find any information, we will go elsewhere - this time it will be up to the members of the Wang Li Hunting Group to decide the direction, there is not much time left to delay." ”
"It should be, it should be." The one-star hunter nodded and said, a smile squeezed out of the fat man's face, but his heart was already half cold. How powerful is the royal team sent to compete with the hunters' guild for treasure? Although the subordinates only wore one or two star badges on their bodies, looking at their skills and hunting experience, it was clear that they were all veterans who had been immersed in the path of hunters for many years. It can be seen from the fact that they traveled dozens of kilometers through the inner marsh in the fog almost without stopping for half a day. The guy named Emmon in the lead, there are traces of military background in his demeanor, and maybe even killing people is not taboo. When it comes to hunting skills and even martial arts, he can only be a drag oil bottle in such a team. Orson knew that the only useful thing he could do was the hundreds of orders and other information he had memorized, and if he made a mistake in this analysis, he might be discarded immediately.
"Your Highness." The one-star hunter was thinking like this, and on the other side of the thick fog, a figure slowly appeared.
Orson's breath tightened.
"I've found something here," Wang Li said shortly, "I shouldn't be wrong. ”
"Congratulations, Your Highness!" The fat man bowed deeply, but a relieved smile appeared on his face for the rest of his life, "I don't ask for much, I just ask Your Highness to mention my name in the final commission record...... Even if it's just at the end of the record. ”
"Take me to see it." The scarlet-clothed young man ignored Aosen's words, and only gave orders to the returning Wang Li hunter.
"But, my lord," said the man who came, ...... face was not very good, "I have found traces there that others have explored, and we may ...... One step late. ”
