The reason why Sui Yu agreed so happily was actually very simple, because when Tokta sent an invitation to Sui Yu just now, a system window popped up in front of Sui Yu that only he could see, and it was written whether to accept the task "escort the caravan".

Mission Name: Escort Caravanserais

Escort the Toqueta caravan to the port of Elna. Criteria for mission success: Ensure that the caravan loses less than one-tenth of its numbers and cargo, and that it reaches the port of Erna without any problems. Destroy enemies along the way to get extra rewards!

Note: Once accepted, this quest will automatically become the second link of the chain quest!

Seeing this prompt, Sui Yu agreed directly without thinking about it. By comparing the strength gap between their team and other mercenary teams, Sui Yu believed that this task should be easy for them, and the biggest question was how much time this task would delay them.

So, seeing Sui Yu agreeing so happily, he didn't even ask how much the reward was, which made Tokta hesitate a little.

As the leader of the caravan, Tokta's brain was naturally much more flexible than those ordinary people who stayed in villages and towns all their lives without much knowledge and culture, or mercenaries who only knew how to fight and kill, at this time, after recalling a series of encounters after the first chance encounter with Sui Yu and his party, he couldn't help but wonder if Sui Yu and they had premeditated their desire to approach him.

Even Tokta couldn't help but guess that in fact, from the first meeting with Sui Yu, to the later encounter with the Demon Beast and then meeting again in the Mercenary Guild, it was actually an artificially arranged play!

But when he thought of the combat effectiveness of Sui Yu and these people, Tuokta laughed at himself in his heart and said secretly: "Where is it necessary for me to let this large number of strong people act specifically to deceive me?" ”

Thinking of this, although he couldn't understand why Sui Yu and his group of masters so simply accepted his job, which didn't have much oil and water at first glance, Tokta still showed a warm smile and thanked Sui Yu again and again for his righteous action.

I have to admit that in this world, personal force is the best pass. When comparing the gap between Sui Yu and others and himself. Tocta decisively put an end to those unrealistic conjectures.

Of course, Tokta also understood that although Sui Yu didn't say how much the hiring fee would cost, he still proposed that the caravan would pay two hundred silver coins for this mission after the mission was completed, and to be honest, a trip to escort the mission was not too far. On average, ten people can earn twenty silver coins per person, which is already a very good price in the Kingdom of Talaya.

Moreover, the remuneration of two hundred silver coins is already equivalent to almost half of the income of Tokta's runner, and without these incomes, plus the funeral expenses of the dead guards, Tokta's trip is definitely a loss.

But in order to prevent his goods from being robbed by the thieves who hit them along the way because of the small number of people, all of them lost their money, and Sui Yu and they were indeed all strong people with one hundred, so Tokta would propose this price that was a hemorrhage for him.

originally thought that Sui Yu would talk to him about the price, but Sui Yu nodded directly and agreed to the price, without any idea of counteroffering.

Anyway. In Sui Yu's eyes, the smallest unit of money is always gold coins (in the eyes of players, only gold coins are regular currency), so two hundred silver coins that are only equivalent to two gold coins are naturally not looked at by Sui Yu (and they cannot be converted into chaos gold coins), plus the system has at least ten chaos gold coins as a reward after the task is completed, these two hundred silver coins are an inconsequential addition in Sui Yu's eyes.

So the negotiations between the two sides ended quickly, and Sui Yu also got a notification from the system about the task (in reality, there is no way to just click the OK button to follow the task).

Then, Tokta went to the counter to handle the task release, and at the same time deposited the 200 silver coins as the reward for the task in the Mercenary Guild and waited for Sui Yu to receive the task when he handed over the task.

Tokta had previously confirmed with Sui Yu that they would return to Bryce Town after completing the mission, so for the sake of fairness and justice, Tokta was very relieved to deposit the mission reward in the Mercenary Guild in Bryce Town - anyway, even if Sui Yu did not complete the task. He will pass by Bryce Town again in the future, and at that point he will only need to revoke his mission. Naturally, the reward for the task will be returned to him.

When Sui Yu took over the mission issued by Tokta on behalf of the mercenary group and got the mission scroll, Sui Yu, who had just returned to Bryce Town, was about to continue his journey.

Fortunately, Toqueta had to deal with some of the wounded and arrange the funeral of the victims, and on this day, Philomena decisively sent everyone except her out to purchase all kinds of missing supplies, while she stayed in the hotel with Sui Yu to spend a happy second ...... Point Five World.

Yes, Angelina, who uses Shadow Fiend as a doppelganger, doesn't go out (she can't do anything with a shadow). Therefore, although Philomena accompanied Sui Yu all day, she did not do anything that needed harmony, but instead let Angelina use the shadows to form various patterns from time to time, and she was very angry, and she was eager to use a large-scale sustainable light magic to directly expel all the shadows in the hotel room.

took a day off (Sui Yu didn't think there was any difference between a day off and usual, the key was that he received the best quality service no matter where he lived, so he naturally didn't feel tired). Tokta finally came to the door to find Sui Yu and invited everyone to set off together, and this guy even ordered a two-row carriage on this day to arrange Sui Yu and others.

Of course, due to the limited space, in addition to Sui Yu, there were only Philomena, Hakeya, and Serina, the head maid who was specially responsible for personal service, and Ai Xue, who was in poor physical condition, and the others unanimously said that they would not squeeze into the carriage as the team walked outside, and then Sui Yu felt uncomfortable because it was too crowded.

Since there were not many people in the carriage, the large carriage specially customized by Tokta seemed a little empty, so Philomena set up a coffee table in the middle of the carriage that could be combined and disassembled and could be used to drink tea on any terrain and made a pot of black tea for Sui Yu herself.

With the light fragrance of tea, Sui Yu chatted with Ai Xue while slowly sipping black tea.

Ai Xue's knowledge is very rich, which has long been known to Sui Yu and them, but due to the tight previous tasks, most of the time they are either in a hurry or attracting monsters. When she was resting in Bryce Town, Ai Xue asked for leave again and didn't know where she went, so Sui Yu had some questions in his heart and wanted to ask Ai Xue, but he never found a chance.

It happened that at this time, Ai Xue was not suitable to follow the team because of her lack of physical strength, so she got into the carriage. At this time, although he was on the mission, there was obviously nothing to do, so Sui Yu opened the conversation box and asked Ai Xue the doubts he had been holding in his heart for a long time: "Ai Xue, do you know what bad things the black-haired and black-eyed devils have done?" Why does everyone hate people with black hair and black eyes so much? ”

Since coming to this world, Sui Yu has clearly felt the strong malice of this world towards people with black hair and black eyes.

After knowing that this was a real world, Sui Yu once wondered if it was a predecessor of the Hua Kingdom who had crossed into this world in the past and done something angry, so that the people of this world almost engraved their disgust for the black hair and black eyes in their bones.

However, the occasional information about the black-haired black pupil shows that the black-haired black pupil has always played the image of the embodiment of ominous and evil. But in Sui Yu's opinion, many evil things seem to be forced out, and the legend of the black-haired and black-eyed person who really did evil has not been heard of at all.

So Sui Yu has never understood why the world hates people with black hair and black eyes so much. It just so happens that Ai Xue is a very knowledgeable person, and she seems to have her own unique intelligence channels, so Sui Yu took the opportunity of chatting to ask her doubts, even if Ai Xue can't answer for a while, I believe that if there is a chance, this girl will help Sui Yu find the answer to this question through her channels.

Originally, Sui Yu thought that Ai Xue didn't know much about the answer to this question, and at most he could only tell some vague rumors. But he didn't expect Ai Xue to tell Sui Yu very clearly a history that has been confirmed in this world.

"Actually, this question has been around for a long time, and even many modern scholars are specializing in the strange mystery of why most people think that the devil's appearance should be black hair and black eyes."

"Yes! The legend that the black hair and black eyes are the devil has always been an unsolved mystery in history! Ai Xue took a sip of black tea elegantly and continued in her somewhat cold tone: "In fact, through the exploration of the lower plane by some demon warlocks, we know that the appearance of devils and demons is actually much different, the main difference is that devils deceive human souls by deception, while demons mostly collect souls by killing after entering the main plane. Moreover, in some recent investigations, it has been found that the existence of the lower plane is called a devil, but in fact, there are few of them with the characteristics of black hair and black eyes! ”

Listening to Ai Xue's words, Sui Yu was even more confused: "Then why do you identify the black hair and black eyes as the devil." Could it be that you have recognized the wrong person? ”

"It can also be said that I recognized the wrong person, in fact, it is accurate to mistake adjectives for nouns!" Ai Xue shrugged and continued: "Some archaeologists collect ancient books. And with the help of some prophecy magic, the torrent of time tracing back finally found some clues. That is, in ancient times, it seemed that human beings should have lived in a place where the magic element was rich, and even if they didn't cultivate, they could easily live for thousands of years, like the divine realm. However, the black-haired and black-eyed humans teamed up to drive our ancestors out of that world, and also sealed the passage to isolate our ancestors forever in this world where magical elements are rare, beasts, and aliens are rampant! Let us endure all kinds of disasters for generations and live in fear! ”

"I'll go, and this?!" Sui Yu always thought that it was a certain traverser predecessor who did something that caused him to be resented by the people, but now when he hears it, it seems that there are really traversers, and it is not one but a group!

"Hmm!" Ai Xue nodded vigorously and said in a conclusive voice: "This information is from rumors from ancient times. Moreover, from some ancestral artifacts, it is true that substances that obviously do not belong to this world and can only appear in the High Demon Plane. This also coincides with the rumor that our ancestors were cast out of paradise! ”

However, as soon as she said this, Ai Xue continued to say to everyone with some confusion: "However, although this judgment has become the mainstream view in the academic world, there are still some scholars who believe that what is recorded in history may not be true. And the basis for their argument is the fact that the proportion of black hair and black pupils is close to zero. ”

"Since our ancestors lived with people with black hair and black eyes, it is theoretically possible that there will be more and more people with black hair and black eyes among us. But you're noticing it now. Although there are people with all kinds of hair color and eye color, only those with black hair and black eyes can hardly be seen. Even if there is a black-haired black-eyed person who is persecuted and nature has reduced the probability of the birth of the black-haired black-eyed person in the selection, it is not clear how the black-haired and black-eyed people who drove our ancestors out of paradise gathered such a powerful force and number of people. ”

After swallowing a piece of pastry, Sui Yu made up his mind, because he suddenly heard that there was still a group of black-haired and black-eyed people in this world, and he was now a little suspicious that the black-haired and black-eyed people gathered together might be a group of traversers.

Although this speculation is very nonsense. But he himself is a traverser, and this kind of thing is real, so Sui Yu can't help but wonder if there will ever be a group of traversers from the same place as him who existed in that world called Paradise!

However, it was imperative to inquire about the specific information of that paradise, so he planned to introduce the topic to paradise: "Speaking of which, why do all the black-haired and black-eyed people of the world gather together and drive out all the other colored-haired compatriots? Distinguish friend from foe according to the color of the pupil. is also the enemy of the human race of the whole world, how kind of brain-dead person does it take to make such an exclusive decision, and he meows successfully! ”

"Well, that's true." Ai Xue originally belonged to a member of the public stream, and when she heard Sui Yu say this, she suddenly found that the historical truth unearthed by scholars seemed to have a lot of questions.

Then Sui Yu asked Ai Xue casually: "Then do you know where that paradise is?" ”

Shaking her head, Ai Xue said to Sui Yu: "Don't think about this question. Since all human beings were driven out of Paradise by the black-haired and black-eyed people, the argument that the seeds of hatred for the black-haired and black-eyed people were planted from ancient times has become an authoritative argument, and now scholars are mainly studying the question of how to find the path to Paradise, but after so many years, they have no clue! Ay! If that paradise really exists. And if we can return, then Paradise may be a perfect world where human beings can live happily without worry! ”

"There's no such thing as perfection, right?" Sui Yu shrugged, but although Ai Xue advised him not to think about it, he still had the world called Paradise in his heart, no matter what, those people with black hair and black eyes were at least some origins, if not his compatriots, if possible. Sui Yu still wanted to be a guest in that paradise.

In the following time, Sui Yu no longer asked questions about the black hair and black pupils, which seemed to have become a mystery for the ages, but began to learn more about Ai Xue in small talk.

Sui Yu always felt that Ai Xue, a girl who seemed to be a girl with a story, and her mannerisms and conversation proved that this girl was definitely not something that an ordinary family could cultivate.

Really. During the chat, Sui Yu learned that Ai Xue seemed to be from an aristocratic background, and that Ai Xue herself had studied in the Griffon Empire.

Most of her vast knowledge comes from the Imperial Wizarding Academy in the Griffon Empire.

Only then did Sui Yu know that in this world where feelings are supreme in power, there really is a college that specializes in cultivating professionals.

Originally, the war queens inquired in many ways and did not hear that the Talaya Kingdom had a magic martial arts academy for ordinary people (the war queens inquired about the demon martial arts academy naturally hoping to quickly obtain the information of this world through the academy), Sui Yu also thought that this world was forbidden to open an academy for civilians in order to stabilize class rule, but now I know that the feelings are because of the lack of national strength of the Talaya Kingdom, so it is impossible to open the academy.

And in the southwest of the Duchy of Felicis. The griffon empire, which is at least the size of more than twenty Talaya kingdoms, has established several academies that can continuously provide talents for the empire, and even open up external recruitment, so that even people from the Talaya kingdom can go to study.

After receiving this information, Sui Yu quietly used information magic to tell Philomena. If you send someone to study in the Griffin Empire, you must soon be able to master the basic magic skills of this world (as for the high-end technology, as long as the leader of the Griffin Empire is not brain-dead, Sui Yu does not need to think that it can be easily obtained through the academy)!

As for why he was carrying Ai Xue, there was no way. Sui Yu would love to trust a would-be warrior like Ai Xue as easily as he did in the game world, but this is the real world, and he is also responsible for Avalon and the warriors.

If Ai Xue is easily believed and let her know too many secrets, what if Ai Xue exposes Avalon's information and attracts the powerhouses of this world?

Although he hadn't played before, he didn't know what the outcome would be if he fought, but he was careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and before he thoroughly understood the world, Sui Yu still decided to hide himself as much as possible, and at the same time worked hard to manage Avalon and constantly enrich his hole cards.

Just when Sui Yu was holding the black tea as a gesture and tasting tea, but in fact he was muttering to Philomena through information magic, the carriage shook slightly and actually stopped.

Then with a knock on the door, Millie opened the carriage door and said to Sui Yu, "Report to Lord Yu, we have encountered a robbery!" (To be continued.) )
