Chapter Seventy-Six: Deliberation
In the silent corridor of leylines, Titch and Koliss slowly walked along the main road.
Although it is a big road, in fact, there are too many people walking, and the grass is trampled away. The three guilds didn't even bother to smooth out the pavement.
Everyone is a powerful adventurer, who cares about such a trivial matter?
Tiqi looked around with some curiosity at the various plants he had never seen before, and asked, "Mr. Corlis, are these plants not available on the ground?"
"Hmm. Colis nodded.
"There are many wealthy people who have tried to plant some plants in the leyline corridor in their own yards, but without exception they have failed, and some scholars have pointed out that there may be elements completely different from the outside world in the leyline corridor, and the life born in it will die without it. As a result, the value of the leyline corridor is getting higher and higher, and almost half of Kyridon's current economic resources are related to the leyline corridor. β
Titch asked in surprise, "The monsters in the leyline corridor can't leave here either?!"
"Of course," Corliss rightly explained, "if we could get out of the leyline corridor, the Darkhorn Cat, a monster of great medicinal value, would have been kept in captivity. β
Titch savored Collis's words, and suddenly realized, "It's like a curse......"
"Cursed ......"
Colis was stunned when he heard this, everyone who entered the leyline corridor was thinking about how to make a fortune inside, but no one had thought about it from the perspective of the leyline corridor.
"Eternal life and eternity trapped in this bottomless abyss...... It's a bit of a frightening curse......"
In the eternal silence, forever deep in the dark forest, Coris shivered inexplicably.
"It's a bit cold. β
"It's foggy all around, and it's normal to be a little colder. β
After thinking about it, Titch asked again, "Will there be fog in the leyline corridor too?"
As soon as they entered the leyline corridor, the rain was cut off above the magma layer, but the fog did not disappear, and it still flowed faintly around them.
Colis didn't have much experience, but he was also a person who had entered the leyline corridor, he nodded and said, "It's rare to see foggy days in the leyline corridor, but there are still some of them. But it doesn't rain here, and the weather is okay. β
Titch shrugged his shoulders in disbelief, there was a thick layer of magma above his head, and it would be a ghost if it rained.
"How far are we from here?"
The two walked a little more in silence, and Titch asked a little boredly.
Colis frowned and looked around, and said with some uncertainty, "It should be...... It shouldn't be far off. β
He hadn't entered the leyline corridor for many years, whether it was the change of the landscape or the forgetfulness of his memory, he had no way to discern where he was.
Titch secretly rolled his eyes, Corliss had said this no less than five times, but he hadn't even seen a shadow of the stronghold until now.
"Don't worry, don't worry...... We are now one step away from success, and the most important thing is stability. It's no fun to get lost in the leyline corridors. β
Corlis's earnest words rang in his ears again, and TiΔ nodded a little nonchalantly in respect.
She still had Joel and Vince in mind, but Collis couldn't do anything about it at the moment, so she was smart enough not to mention it in front of the other party.
"Alas......"
Where Colis couldn't hear it, Titch sighed slightly.
......
On the other side of the leyline corridor, the Joel trio is at an impasse.
When Vince and Gauscol combined, their reasons did not seem to be so convincing.
Colliss had a close friendship with the president himself, and he had never been concerned about anything like that. As long as he speaks, the president will definitely pay attention. But Joel and Vins are different, they are just two small hunting assistants, and this kind of reason that seems a little lacking in temperament will not only not be taken seriously by the guild, but may cause Goskol a lot of trouble.
"Can you still feel the shaking in the leyline corridor?" Joel had regained his composure, and immediately asked the most important question.
Vins didn't hesitate and immediately lay on the ground and listened!
Soon, Vince stood up and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "The tremors have become subtle, but they are still there!"
Goskol was completely stunned, and he asked blankly, "You are determined that Becronde is coming just by this shock?"
Joel was stunned by the question, and said a little cowardly: "I can't say all of it......"
"So what?"
"Mostly ......"
Goskoll was completely crying: "How do I feel like I'm in your ?!!?"
Joel stroked his smooth blonde hair and said, "It can't be said that it was fooled, we are mainly talking about real evidence." β
"Is it really ?!!?"
"Haven't you found this yet?"
In just ten minutes, Joel has mastered the art of chatting with Gauscol, and if he doesn't want to be disgusted by his bad jokes, it's better to tell a worse one before him.
"Smack!"
Goskoll slapped his eyes and wiped the rain from his face from top to bottom. He had a hunch that his job was going to be smashed in the hands of these two young people today.
"Don't be too nervous, Uncle Goskoll. Joel smiled nonchalantly and bumped Goskoll on the shoulder, "We still have a trump card!"
Goskoll said sadly: "Trump card?! What trump card can you two poor boys have?! You won't really treat your cheekiness as a treasure, will you?!"
Joel smacked his lips twice with contempt, and said, "Don't look down on people, Uncle Goskoll. Don't be intimidated by our trump card. β
"I don't believe you have any treasures?!"
Joel smiled and said, "Vice President Lord Corliss and we are on the same team, and we will divide into two teams to enter the leyline corridor. We have both been able to get to this point now, and Mr. Colliss is probably going to be smoother than we are. If we tell this news, the elders will not believe it. But if it was Mr. Colliss who spoke it, it would carry a bit of weight. β
"When the time comes, the Lord will give an order, and we will hunt Berond together, and the credit will not come with our hands? Uncle Goskoll, this is a sure deal, and we will bring you with you. β
Goskol sneered and said, "Since everything will be fine as soon as Colis arrives, what are we still discussing here?"
Without waiting for Joel and Vins to answer, Gosko continued: "You can't be sure if Vice President Colis will be able to enter the leyline corridor smoothly, right?
Joel smiled and stopped talking.
Mr. Collis, who is both the vice president of Windwalk and Darkmoon, can do more than the two of them. But even so, Joel is not 100% sure about it. As soon as there was a problem on Collis's side, the difficulty of Joel's mission skyrocketed.
The teams that were separated in order to increase their success rate have now had new troubles. It's hard to get the best of both worlds.
"Don't stop, two. Wens was happier to see Joel and Gosko talking, and reminded him at the right time, "We'll talk as we go." β
"Team Rebean will probably be a key piece of evidence for us as well. Vince was in no mood to get into the conversation between the two and continued to analyze the current situation.
"Mr. Gausskoll isn't familiar with Team Rebein, but the President will. We might be able to use Minaki's lie as a starting point. β
"Lies?"
Goskoll and Joel were a little engaged, and in the blink of an eye, they forgot what Wens had said.
It was indeed very self-aware that he had a notebook with him.
Vince shook his head helplessly, and explained again, "Minaki is one of Rebein's team, and she told us that their mission is to investigate the cause of the monster riot and minimize unnecessary casualties to Darkmoon. β
Goskol was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... What's wrong with that?"
Vins rubbed his brows with a little headache, and began to explain tirelessly: "This hunt used all the young people of the three major guilds, and you also know how the three guilds are accepting people in Cariton, how can the high-level watch these future mainstays die in the forest like this, all worthless?"
Goskol gradually opened his mind, touched his beard and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Hmm...... That's true. β
"The Monster Report Handbook says it was written by the most experienced senior employees of the three guilds, but I don't believe it if it hasn't been investigated. For a whole night, how could the three guilds just stay in the house and write books?"
"Don't forget, we're an organization that feeds on violence. β
"There's no problem with the Rebean team's mission, it's the timing of their mission. How could it be that the investigators were even slower than the hunters? β
Gosko thoroughly understood Vins's analysis, and there couldn't help but have a trace of admiration in his eyes: "In the face of such a dangerous situation, you have to analyze the behavior of others and find out the flaws in it." The quality of our hunting assistants in this session of Dark Moon is very high!"
"However," Goscoll praised Vince and offered his opinion, "it just means that there is something wrong with Rebein's team. It's still a bit hard to convince people to forcibly link the shaking of the ground to their purpose. This does not mean that the shaking of the ground came from Bekronde. β
Vince sighed and said, "There's no way, there's only so much we can do. The strength of Rebein's team is more terrifying than the other, and we really can't get more information from them. β
"One can only hope that these successive coincidences will attract the attention of the elders. β
Goskoll thought about everything he could notice about this, and his eyes flickered.
"If so, why do you believe that it all originated in Bernde......? It's a bit too big. β
Vins's body suddenly stiffened.
