Now that the Guide has been reached, the biggest trouble for the players is solved. Prior to this, both the 'Silver Seal' squad and the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group had already prepared for the battle to set off at any time. With this group of 14 people set out from the west gate of Ulrique. This mission against the white dragons in the mountains has officially begun.

"Stone, when you were in your hometown, how many times did you see what you called the 'White Plague'?" Barrett pretended to be chatting and asked the guide sitting on the stake about the mission.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. The Church of the Dragon God of Good has provided a fairly complete set of information to all mission participants. However, the content of this information is only the main body, and there are still very big flaws in the details. In Barrett's view, if he recklessly broke in with such information alone, it was actually not much different from looking for death.

Of course, this information is incomplete, and it is not the Church of the Dragon God of Good that deliberately traps the participants. In fact, this situation is the norm in the Western Continent - and as the undertaker of the mission, it is always necessary to find a way to get more detailed information on his own. After all, the 'detailed' information of the task is provided by the client, and only God knows what level it is.

If it turns out that there is too much gap between the real situation and the information given by the client, you can choose to give up regardless of whether the other party intends to deceive or not. But before the operation, the executor himself does not even inquire about the relevant information of the mission. In the eyes of onlookers, even death is in vain.

Moreover, for this uncertain quest, the Church of the Dragon God of Good gave each participant a bottle of special ointment of 'Breaking the Enemy (Dragon) in advance, and each team had a scroll to heal serious injuries. This is a means of compensating for potential risks and is not included in the normal rewards at the end of the mission.

Of course, if the difficulty of the task is significantly increased, and the final reward is much higher than originally expected, then it will still be deducted at the time of settlement. However, only an organization of the good camp like the 'Good Dragon God' Church will have such preferential treatment when assigning tasks to internal members. If you're in the Mercenary Guild, you'll have to rely on yourself.

Perhaps because of the contact with the participants of this mission during this time, the guide from Tululu Village in front of him is no longer as nervous as before. When he replied, he no longer stammered as before: "'White plague', 'white plague', I have only seen it once from afar. It flew over the wooden hut where we usually hunted and rested, far away from our village. ”

"Oh! Didn't it attack you? Barrett continued to ask.

The thin man named Stone shook his head expressionlessly, "No one will survive the attack of the 'White Plague'. Every year, several unfortunate people in our village who go out hunting or logging have lost their news. The village chief said that they were all eaten by the 'White Plague'. ”

"That means none of you saw the White Plague attack. Is all this knowledge from the village chief's explanation? Barrett touched his chin, "Maybe they just don't want to stay in the village and want to go down the mountain to see the world of flowers outside?" Besides, even if you are killed, there are other fierce beasts in the mountains where you are located! ”

"Impossible! When Brando lost the news, Roman was still pregnant with a child! He couldn't just leave his wife and daughter, who was not born at the time, and left home. The zombie-faced mountaineer's expression finally changed slightly because of his emotional excitement. But after this roar, he quickly reverted to his original form: "Beast, we haven't seen a beast there for a long time. Since the arrival of the 'White Plague', the footprints of the snow leopard that could have been seen occasionally have disappeared without a trace......"

"Don't worry! If nothing else, we'll get rid of the damn 'White Plague'. Barrett patted the other man on the shoulder, "If someone in your village can bring us to that guy or to the lair." ”

Stone's voice was louder than before: "Wait! What did you say? Do you want someone to take you to the lair of the White Scourge? ”

"Isn't this nonsense? We're not natives of your area, and we don't even know where the road is. How could you find that guy without anyone leading the way? Barrett then looked at the mountain people in front of him with a stupid expression.

Stone swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in quick succession and said, "But that, that's going to kill people!" ”

"Do you think we're going to kill that guy and we're not going to die? If even the most basic help is not provided, then there is no need for this mission to continue. Barrett, who accentuated his tone, stood up sharply. With his tall size and sharp gaze, he put a lot of pressure on the guide in front of him.

Barrett then ignored the shivering guy and gave Noodle a look as he turned to leave. Then the halfling wanderer cautiously dived into the shadows. Barrett then straightened the horses as if nothing had happened, and after a short lunch break, he laughed and talked to the others as usual.

And when it was time to camp for the night, after dinner, he soon came to the other end of the camp, where the Prophet Chomli was now giving a lecture to the youngest of the ranks, Miss Ventris, the magician—a very common internal affair in the ranks of the united faith.

Barrett, who found himself seemingly at an inopportune time, had to pause and wait for the sermon to end—the problem of disturbing other people's religious services was a trivial matter. If there is any gap between the two teams, which they don't know very well, it is not what Barrett wants to see.

As if aware of Barrett's arrival, the prophet Chomley reached out and patted Miss Ventrice, stopping the teachings. Then he turned around: "It turned out to be Mr. Boreham, you came here at this time, is there something that needs to be negotiated with us urgently?" ”

"There are indeed some troubles that need to be exchanged, and it is about this mission." At this point, Barrett turned his head to look at the mountain people not far behind him, apparently hinting that he didn't want to let him hear the rest of the conversation.

Following Barrett's prompt, he saw Stone's Chomley Prophet and nodded thoughtfully: "Mr. Boreham, just come closer." ”

Although he didn't know what the means he was going to use, Barrett still did it - after all, in the absence of any conflict of interest between the two sides, Barrett didn't think the other party needed to harm him. Moreover, the reputation of the 'Good Dragon God' Church has always been good, and most of its teams are trustworthy.

As Barrett and the other party were brought closer, a flash of light was seen on one of the rings in Jomley's prophet's hand. Then Barrett felt that a circular area with a radius of 15 feet, centered on Chomley's prophet, became alien to everything outside.

"Mr. Boreham, you can speak with confidence. Those outside this barrier will only see and hear meaningless words. Chomley made it clear that the conversation would not reach the mountainman's ears.

Barrett, who got the answer he wanted, immediately took off some of his disguises: "Ms. Chomley, how much specific information do you know about this mission. Judging from my side knocks during this time, the situation of this mission is probably not optimistic! ”

"Oh! So what do you want to hear from us? Prophet Chomley moved his pupils and looked Barrett up and down.

But Barrett shook his head: "I haven't forgotten the truth that you pay is rewarded." Since I'm here to exchange information, I'll also come up with my own things. ”

"That's right. Although we are partners in this mission, we are also competitors! Don't try to take advantage of us for nothing! Miss Ventrice, who had not gone away since the sermon, swung her fist at Barrett.

Hearing this, Barrett said angrily and funny: "Since you are so worried, little sister, I will come first." As for the village of Tululu, which is asking for help this time, I feel that they may not get along well. Although it cannot be said that the border villages outside the jurisdiction of the regime are full of villains. But from the conversations with the mountain man named Stone, it was clear that they were not prepared to do anything to drive or kill the white dragon. Even the guide to find the white dragon is probably reluctant to be sent. ”

"Although Brinton told me before that the mountain man named Stone had a bad attitude. But I don't think I don't want to take on that little bit of work! Prophet Chomley shook his head slightly: "This speculation could not be that you are too sensitive, Mr. Boram. ”

"It's not just a matter of speculation. That Tululu village didn't pay anything from the beginning! Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "I'm afraid the reward on the taskbar was also made by the church itself to strangle the white dragon!" Originally, I thought it was the other party's village that couldn't get any reward for the task. But judging from the guy's performance, the root is that they are unwilling to give tasks and things, and they want to solve the problems of the village. ”

"According to what you mean, won't the villagers of Tululu Village provide us with any help in the mission?" Prophet Chomli understood the meaning of Barrett's words, "You don't want to give up on this task, do you?" ”

"Until we encounter an irresistible reason, our 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group is not ready to give up any mission." Barrett shook his head, "But when it comes to how to deal with the villagers of Tululu, we'd better be mentally prepared for something completely different than we used to. ”

"If you're done, Mr. Boreham, it's my turn." Prophet Chomli pressed a pearl in his hand. Then Brinton, who was a bard, walked into the enchantment: "Chomley, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Mr. Barrett intends to exchange information with our team about the mission that we have obtained during this time. Let's see if we can avoid unnecessary risks in the next mission......" Prophet Chomli said as he grabbed his wooden staff.

Hearing this, the Brinton poet pulled out a small notebook from his pocket: "Stone of the village of Tululu first appeared a month ago in the north 'Fort Espila'. At that time, it seemed that he was aimlessly looking for someone to rescue his village. Then the local church had to bring some news about the evil dragon in his words, and then this mission came about. So in terms of the reward for the task, it is indeed the same as Mr. Boram guessed, it is given by the church. ”

"It seems that even if it is not intentionally empty-glove white wolf. It is also possible that I have been isolated from the world for too long and have long since adapted to today's lifestyle. Barrett, who touched his chin, then nodded: "So after arriving at Tululu Village, I think you should have a good idea of what level of courtesy we can receive and what to do." ”

"I'll pay special attention to that." The Brinton poet nodded, "Although my lord does not like to doubt others without reason. But like you said, the performance of this mountain man is really interesting. ”

After having a tacit understanding with the 'Silver Seal' team, the two sides also took this opportunity to learn more about their next trip. For example, Alexis, who is a paladin, does not seem to have his own Celestial Mount, but instead chooses a special weapon, Link Sacred Pact. As a result, the power of his weapon has been greatly enhanced. Twilight Blade Pal follows the tactical school of stabbing and sword-conduction, which is somewhat different from the Twilight Blade that Barrett remembers in the past - or to some extent, more of the school used by the 'Demon Warriors'.

As for the rest, except for knowing that Chomley's power to receive revelation came from that brilliant starry sky. Whether it's her or Miss Ventrice's spells, the players don't know much about them. The same sleek bard failed to find out anything.

However, as long as you think about it carefully, you will understand that most of the spellcasters in the 'Silver Seal' team in front of you are spontaneous spellcasters. Their ability to cast spells depends on the excavation of themselves and the comprehension of revelations. Once selected, it cannot be modified. This makes the number of spells they can master relatively rare. If you are easily probed by others, it is very likely to be restrained by targeted tactics. Therefore, it is inevitable to strictly guard against this aspect.

Similarly, the other party is also constantly obtaining the data of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group. Fortunately, the players are also on guard in this regard, so the news they heard is similar to what they have obtained from the church intelligence network before-and there is still a big deviation from the real strength of the players.
