It had been seven days since Chen Yan returned to the Stehl outpost. Received a warm welcome when entering. The inhabitants and mercenaries of the outpost recognized him as the 'big man' who had killed the Armored Demon at the time, and cheered and applauded.

Chen Yan smiled and walked through the crowd to the mercenary club.

Inside the clubhouse, Monroe was reprimanding a few mercenaries with a look of embarrassment. Next to it is a stack of unfinished reports. Seeing Chen Yan come in, he drove away these mercenaries and sighed at Chen Yan.

"I thought you went to Hakim......"

"Why go there?" Chen Yan asked strangely. "Mission accomplished, I don't need to venture again, do I?"

"In fact, the mission was not accomplished." Monroe hesitated and said something that surprised Chen Yan. "The convoy has reached Hakim, and their magic furnace has begun to be built. If Lifik and your report are correct, then they still have a core device. ”

"What?" Chen Yan was slightly stunned.

"The mission failed." Monroe shook his head and looked at Chen Yan with regret. "Miss Emily was angry because she had just handed in the report on the completion of her mission. She has already been reprimanded from above. You'd better be careful when you go back......"

"What does it have to do with me?" Chen Yan shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent. "I'm the executor, and I've accomplished my goals. It was the intelligence services whose accidents occurred. What's more, I did two urgent tasks in a row, which was already interesting enough. ”

"I know you're having a hard time." Monroe smiled wryly. "But Miss Emily is not a good talker."

"Let's settle the payment for me first." Chen Yan walked to the side of the recliner and sat down, cocking Erlang's legs. I picked up a bottle of wine and opened it and smelled it. "Do me a favor."

"What's the busy?" Monroe was stunned. Then Chen Yan was seen throwing a blue object. When I took it, I realized that it was a potion.

"Potions?" Monroe's eyes straightened. "Where did you get that?"

"Took a private job." Chen Yan said solemnly, raised the wine bottle and drank it bitterly, the wine flowed down his cheeks, and after a while, he put down the wine bottle and sighed.

"I want you to help me see what's wrong with this potion."

"It takes time and equipment to parse the ingredients. I don't have it here. Monroe frowned. Why don't you take it to the hut? ”

"Don't say you don't have any illicit goods, Monroe. I didn't want the cottage to know about it. ”

"Okay." Monroe hesitated for a moment but nodded. Take the potion in your arms. "I'll do it, but you promised me a collaborative project."

"I'll finish it for you when I've rested for a few days." Chen Yan happily agreed. After all, Monroe had already helped him a lot, and it was no longer a good idea to delay. Anyway, the mercenary's mission is simple, and a month's work is enough for him to complete the quota.

After saying goodbye to Monroe, he went to the demon hunting hut again, and before he could enter, he ran into a group of pot-bellied guys, and they saw Chen Yan coming over like a shark smelling blood. Talking nonsense.

"Your Excellency...... I'm Githam from the Lear Chamber of Commerce, and I have something to tell you......"

"My lord, I'm ......"

"And me, sir."

The scene was chaotic and noisy. Chen Yan frowned. One reached out and parted the group. "I don't have time right now, please make an appointment if you have something."

With that, he walked into the demon hunting hut and saw Jessica at a glance.

"What's going on, why are they all waiting outside."

"What else can it be, of course, the right to sell stolen goods." Jessica replied indifferently, leading Chen Yan towards the living room. The upright buttocks swayed rhythmically in front of Chen Yan, like a budding begonia flower.

Chen Yan glanced at it and whistled. "The right to sell stolen goods?"

"It's the spoils of your last defense." Jessica vaguely sensed Chen Yan's gaze and glared back at him. "I don't know if it's your luck, that armor demon has dug out a pivot source in its body, as well as a few living demon cores. That's what they're here for. ”

"Huh...... Then I'll be rich. Chen Yan laughed. The Demon Pivot was what he was going to get on his first mission. It is a scarce war material, and the living demon core is a low-radiation biological crystallization of magic energy, which is also highly valuable. Taken together, it's no wonder the merchants went crazy.

You must know that in addition to these, the materials of that armor demon are also a lot of wealth.

It's a pity that Chen Yan is destined to disappoint these guys, from the first time he stepped out of the demon hunting hut, he already has his own network. I have signed an agreement with some big businessmen who invested early, so naturally I will not deal with these retail businessmen anymore.

Jessica naturally knew this, and took Chen Yan to the living room and sat down. "Another reason is that they need protection because of the acid rain season."

During the acid rainy season, human agricultural production is hindered and greater transport is needed to communicate with each other. At this time, the demons are active, so a strong guard force is a must. In fact, in the Hui River Basin, every time the acid rain season comes, it is the time when the mercenaries get rich.

But what does this have to do with witchers?

"I have to say, your last mission was terrible." Jessica sat down opposite Chen Yan and took out a file and handed it over. "Although Lord Lifik and you have reported that the mission is complete. But in reality, Hakim's lair got what they wanted. So they will soon build a magic furnace and evolve a demon city. This greatly expands their sphere of influence, as well as affecting the surrounding area. ”

"Unfortunately, we are the most direct victims."

Chen Yan took the file and looked through it, and found that it was full of information about the expansion of Hakim's lair and an assessment of the future situation. There are a large number of demon diagrams and demon machines in it.

Looking at the terrible disaster predictions, Chen Yan's brows furrowed. "How serious."

"It could jeopardize the survival of the outpost." Jessica replied solemnly. "That's why those businessmen outside are in a hurry to leave. The expansion of the demon's territory means the emergence of more and more dangerous demons, and they need stronger guards. ”

"That is, the witcher."

"But Liefik ......"

"Master Lifwick is on vacation." Jessica said, a flash of worry in her eyes. "He was injured on the last mission, and when he came back, he found that there was an inexplicable toxin in his body, and he had to go to a bigger city for treatment. Now that he's gone with his family, you're the only demon hunter left at the outpost. ”

"What the hell......" Chen Yan rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't expect that Li Feike's injury was more serious than he thought. He thought it was just a flesh wound. He was the only witcher left in the outpost at the moment, and all the pressure was on him.

Just then, he heard Jessica speak.

"Master Lifwick asked me to tell you. Beware of the Hakim Lair. ”
