Chapter 179: Separate Investigations
When the news of the Templar Orb's disappearance arrived, the royal family and the Church of Halletta were shaken, and they immediately began a large-scale search operation, while all the knights and even the clergy of the Church who were responsible for guarding the Orb that day were strictly investigated. There were originally outposts set up by the Church and the Kingdom Knights around Beinz Blood Lake, but now the blockade in that area has become more severe, and even individual mercenaries have been forbidden to enter and exit, and if you want to enter, you must be a mercenary team or a member of the Knights who have accepted the search commission. This is also one of the few incidents in which the authorities have recruited mercenary teams on a large scale - which shows the severity of the whole thing.
As a veteran vampire who has survived the entire history of human civilization, Vivian's favorite thing is to study the history of people, she asked Betsy a lot about ancient legends, and in the end, the mercenary girl was a little suspicious of whether the group in front of her was a normal person - even the most basic common sense questions had to be inquired for a long time. But fortunately, Betsy is a standard mercenary, and a bit rough, most of the time she only thinks about one thing about whether she will make money on herself and whether it will be dangerous to herself, as long as she is fine, she doesn't care about the floods outside, it is estimated that even if Itzhax transforms into a living fire city at this time, as long as no one releases a bounty, Betsy will not care......
The group had already decided to go to Beinz Blood Lake, and Betsy would follow, on the one hand, to see if they could get the unprecedentedly rich bounty if they could get lucky enough of it: a manor and a noble title, as long as the team found the orb would have a share in everyone, and this bounty was enough for any mercenary to be tempted. On the other hand, even if she can't find the orb, she can take this opportunity to collect some rare materials around the Blood Lake. Now that the area around Beinz is under martial law, the search for the orb is overwhelming. As a result, the supply of various Beintz's specialty magic materials on the market is facing a tight supply, and Betsy feels that there is a business opportunity here. Hao Ren: They asked Betty to be a guide. But in fact, in turn, Betsy also needs a group of people like Hao Ren: she needs to rub a team, and preferably the kind of novice who doesn't know much about the mercenary business, she is used to being alone, and she really doesn't want to form a group with that group of veteran mercenaries, and the experienced mercenaries are not necessarily willing to absorb outsiders into the team at this time. She and Hao Ren hit it off.
As for the question of the strength necessary to go to the Beinz region, Betsy felt that there was no need to worry: these five in front of him could directly teleport all the way from the Northern Empire to Holletta without anything, and this ability could still be small?
Everyone walked to a fork in the road leading to the entrance of the town, and Betsy waved her hand to Hao Ren and them: "Let's separate here first, I'm going home to prepare things for a long time." Anyway, do you need to prepare? Is it okay to go today? β
"It's too early or too late, and we don't have anything to do anyway." Hao Ren smiled and said, "Of course, if you still have personal matters, we can wait until tomorrow." β
Betsy thought for a while: "I'm fine, then let's go today, you can go to wait for me outside the main gate of the town, meet at noon, let's set off at noon, go west along the grassland, if nothing else, we can arrive at a small mountain village in the evening, I know the village chief over there." Let's rest for the night, and then head west along the mountains on the border of the steppe - this is the shortest route. β
Betsy crackled like popping beans and said a lot of travel problems, regardless of whether Hao Ren knew these place names or not, and then turned around and walked in the other direction: where her family lived.
"He's a man of action." Hao Ren looked at Betsy's back and muttered.
Lily ran around Hao Ren in a circle: "Landlord landlord! Let's find a place to play! I'm finally in a different world, I'm going to buy some souvenirs and go back......"
"Then you have to be rich," Nangong Maya clapped his hands. "Eh, I just remembered this stubble: where are we going to get some money from this world? Now it's a problem for us to find a place to eat! β
Hao Ren and Vivien only then jumped out of the problem of otherworldly exploration, and first realized this troublesome situation in front of them: they had no money! And I don't know where to earn it......
"Don't think about cheating. I'll wait until I meet with Betsy at noon, but I can't ask her to borrow some. I'll bring her something of real value the next time I come in," Hao Ren said. Looking around, "It's still a long time until noon, so let's split up and go to all parts of the town to find out about the world, and be careful not to attract too much attention." Vivien paid more attention to the matter of Leta's runes, and the others took care of themselves. Oh yes, Lily, you come with me. β
Hao Ren finally looked a little "captain" when he assigned the task, but Lily was a little curious: "Why do you want me to be with you?" β
"You don't want to?"
"No, it's nice to be with the landlord." Lily dangled happily in front of Hao Ren's eyes.
Hao Ren spread his hands: "That's okay, can't I pick someone randomly to be my bodyguard?" β
He is really embarrassed to tell the truth: I really don't dare to let Lili's girl out of sight, she has been in a state of excitement since she entered the dream plane, and she will run crazy if she can't tell her, and it is possible to go beyond the scope of spiritual harmony, but don't forget that there are four people in the team who rely on Hao Ren's "dream wifi" to be able to move on the dream plane, and the number jΓΉ terminal has been calculated, and the farthest distance range of the five-person group in the dream plane is about the same size as the town now, at most a circle, And Lily, as a husky, is definitely motivated to run all the way into the savannah after leaving the human eye......
Now Hao Ren hates that he can't put a collar on this girl and tie it to a chain.
Vivien went to the largest spire building in the town, and Hao Ren took the husky around a secluded street with not too many people, he first found a place where no one was there and lifted the lid of the pot to let Doudou breathe, the little guy curiously picked his head and looked out, and was shocked to see such a vast and unfamiliar environment around him: since he was cooked by Lily, Doudou has been living in the house, and she thought that the whole world was divided into four parts: guest bathroom, kitchen and bedroomNow seeing the vast sky outside makes the little mermaid a little stunned.
But the little guy just looked at the vast world outside in a daze, but he had no intention of jumping out of the pot and wandering around, which made Hao Ren a little surprised: Xiao Xiao's mobility and curiosity have always been quite strong, why does he seem so honest today?
"Maybe I'm scared," Lily said as she squatted on the ground and stared at Doudou in the pot, poking the little guy's face as she reached out, "Landlord, I think you should take Doudou out to see the world often......
Hao Ren disagreed: "You're not afraid that she will let the Chinese Academy of Sciences cut it." β
Lily's ears moved, and she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, landlord, I seemed to see a werewolf when I came from the intersection in front of me just now!" β
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?!" β
"I was so surprised at the time, but now I react," Lily flattened, "and isn't it natural that there are werewolves in this world?" The ravens all said that the aliens all came out of the dream plane. β
Hao Ren really wanted to pat the head of the husky, who never gave strength to this crucial matter: "The problem is to witness it with your own eyes!" β
Hao Ren had a stern face, but Lily didn't see it at all-she was busy teasing Doudou (you see how slippery these words are connected), and muttered without raising her head: "It's okay, anyway, there will be a chance to see it in the future, I heard that the further west you go, the more werewolves there are." β
Hao Ren asked Doudou to breathe fresh air outside, but found that the little guy didn't have much interest in coming out to wander around except looking around, on the contrary, she was more interested in the number of jΓΉ terminals soaked in the pot, it seemed that the world outside was too wide to make this baby fish who had not hatched for a long time a little afraid, so he put the lid on the pot again, and led Lily to continue walking around the town.
Walking on the streets of another world, dressed in fancy clothes that are enough for the locals to stop and watch, followed by a sticky beautiful girl with a water bottle in her hand - it is estimated that this type of traveler is also Hao Ren's family......
When it was close to noon, everyone met outside the town according to the agreement, except for Hao Ren, who was concentrating on drying his daughter and walking the dog, everyone else seemed to have gained. (To be continued......)
