Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Jade of Perpetual Motion
The monk took the letter and was about to tear it open, but when he saw that Yali was standing there without moving, seeing the doubt in Huigang's eyes, the second butler explained with a smile:
"Mistress Bretta has asked me to wait here for your reply. ”
At this time, the female warrior in the house, Galinda, walked out, and the monk tore open the letter, which looked very gorgeous in the flower script of the nobles, but the content was very strange, recording a few sentences, the format is not unfamiliar to monks and female warriors, that is, the format of the mercenary guild and the thief guild cloth task:
"Perpetual Jade Reward on Eye of the Storm: Can be used to meet with the Mage's Guild for other ominous things. ”
Seeing this, Hui Gang understood in his heart that this was what the other party asked him to do, although a slave trader like Breetta had just come to this city and didn't know his details, but at that meeting of the shark thieves, with those high-level guards, in the monk's impression, he could have this scale, that is, he had seen it in the Grand Duke's Mansion.
Moreover, although that Bretta was an old man, he did not move at all in the momentum contest between the monk and the guards around him, and he couldn't figure out the depth at all.
From the fear of Galinda and Oba, he can also roughly understand how powerful the other party is, although he and Fei'er can fly away at any time, but the children in the orphanage cannot. These poor children were free, but they were held hostage in loose prisons.
I'm afraid this task is the condition proposed by the other party.
Iron Rose Galinda also knew in her heart. With a calm face, he took the letterhead, and when he looked at it, his face suddenly changed, this was the first time that Hui Gang had seen a calm female warrior so out of shape, and Galinda rushed to the front of the second butler, Ali, and grabbed the other party and shouted:
"How many years has this mission not been completed, who will find the eye of the storm?"
The smile on the butler's face didn't diminish much. Still said to Galinda very respectfully:
"Miss Galinda, my task is only to deliver the message, and I don't know anything else. ”
The monk walked up to Galinda and stretched out her hand to pull away the excited warrior. Turning to Ali, he said:
"We agreed to this, please reply. ”
That Ali obviously didn't expect them to answer so simply, the look of surprise in his eyes flashed and he didn't speak, and then quickly put away his smile, changed to another brother's face, and said seriously:
"Please wait here with peace of mind. Someone will pick you up in a few days. ”
After saying that, he made a gesture in mid-air, stopped by the carriage outside the courtyard, and at some point, suddenly a man walked in with a bag of gold coins, and Ali put the bag of gold coins on the ground and said:
"Here's your deposit, and since you've agreed to it, sign this deed. ”
After speaking, he took out a sheepskin scroll from his bosom, and after unfolding it, he gave the two people on the opposite side a glance, and the monk roughly swept it away, which was an explanation and agreement on the actions and rewards of this mission. The strange thing is that in the place where the signature is signed, there is something that looks like a little bug, and Bretta has signed her name.
Seeing this, Galinda once again lost her cool and trembled, and Hui Gang glanced at the female warrior very strangely. Ali on the side urged and said:
"Which of you two will sign this? ”
The monk looked at the steel rose on the side, which had already lost some of his bearings, and said in agreement:
"I'll do it. ”
Galinda, who was behind, suddenly grabbed the monk and said anxiously:
"Mr. Huigang, don't sign this, this is a death contract, if you don't complete the content of the contract, you will be devoured by the abyssal creatures summoned by the contract. ”
Hui Gang heard this. He frowned slightly. After carefully reading the contents of the contract and what Ali said, there was no discrepancy between it, and he ignored Galinda's obstruction, and said directly:
"Give me the pen and I'll sign it. ”
Hearing this, Yali couldn't help but laugh and explained to the monk:
"You just have to put your finger on the place where you sign it. ”
The monk did as he instructed. Pressing his right index finger on the signature, the little insect on the surface of the sheepskin jumped up and bit on his finger, Hui Gang only felt a tingling pain in his fingertips, since he had practiced the divine skill, the monk had never thought that such a bite would cause harm to him, and he was slightly surprised in his heart.
After biting the monk, the bug still didn't fall back into the contract, and burned into ashes in midair. Those ashes fell on the place of signature as if they were controlled by something, and the ashes were tightly glued to the parchment contract and turned into a few golden words, just as the matter of these temples was born, a roar suddenly sounded in Huigang's ears, and it seemed to be in the boundless distance.
Everyone next to him didn't seem to have noticed this sound, Yali's face was full of smiles, nodded at the monk, picked up the contract, looked at the signature, and said with some doubts:
"Isn't your name Fleet?"
Then he said with relief:
"It doesn't matter, this is the name of the human origin, so please be prepared for the next few days. ”
After speaking, he saluted the monk and Galinda again, and walked out.
Hui Gang turned his head to look at the steel rose on the side, Galinda's face was indifferent and expressionless, but this calmness had a sense of discouragement, and said to the monk in a low voice:
"Mr. Huigang, thank you for your righteous deed, but do you know that the task is impossible to complete, the contract is impossible to violate, and your behavior is obviously looking for death. ”
The monk sighed and replied calmly:
"Lord Galinda, do you know that there were at least sixteen people lurking around the courtyard just now, and in the middle of the carriage sat the magician who was with Bretta, dealing with us, and his skills were on par with yours. I think there should be more people there at the orphanage. If I don't promise you, what do you think the consequences will be, even if we can get out of here, what about the children. ”
Steel Rose Galinda was stunned when she heard this, and then remembered that the monk had nothing to do with these things, but took the initiative to rescue those children, knowing that the contract was equivalent to the Jedi, or signed it for herself, and couldn't help but be very grateful, and couldn't help but ask the other party:
"Mr. Huigang, in fact, you can take Fei'er away, why do you take the initiative to do so much?"
When the monk heard this, he didn't answer directly, but just asked rhetorically:
"Galinda, donor, why did you take in those orphans, and Phil came to this place alone, why did you take her in. ”
Steel Rose Galinda was stunned when asked, obviously she hadn't thought about it, and after a while she replied to the monk:
"I can't bear to see those children suffer. ”
The monk smiled and saluted, did not continue to speak, turned around and returned to the house, this is the creed when Hui first walked the rivers and lakes in his previous life, and acted chivalrous and did what he should do.
Soon Oba returned to the courtyard, and when the savage heard about the events of the afternoon, he was in a very unpleasant mood, but said to Galinda:
"In the afternoon, when we were tidying up in the orphanage, it was suddenly lively outside for a while, and then it dispersed, we didn't care, it seemed that this time we had to go, but the task was really ......."
Speaking of this task on the contract, the barbarian Oba was a little desperate, sighed and didn't say anything more, some young people who were not on duty in the orphanage had also returned to the courtyard, and heard what happened just now, although they were also anxious and angry, but they were also very curious about the perpetual jade of the eye of the storm.
Looking at Oba's sighing appearance, Hui Gang was slightly annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but speak:
"What is the use of the fact that the matter has already given us such frustration? The poor monk doesn't know what the perpetual moving jade is, can you tell me about it and let you think about it. ”
The monk's face was a little red when he said these words, but he didn't refute it, and directly told the origin:
"It is said that a long time ago, this world was under the rule of the Elven Empire, and at that time the culture and magic were extremely prosperous, and all the intelligent races were subservient to this extremely powerful civilization, but for some unknown reason, that civilization suddenly disappeared overnight. ”
Oba spoke eloquently with a voice that did not resemble a barbarian, and in the monk's heart, he also felt a little emotional, no matter what the world is, there are vicissitudes of life, and when Tian first thought about it, the following Gorak said:
"Big 6 is caught in the Dark Ages, and various races are at war, Uncle Oba's beginning is really too indiscriminate. ”
Although these young people were also disturbed by these things, they were much more optimistic, and everyone couldn't help laughing along with this joke, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Oba glared at him and continued:
"Although the elven empire disappeared suddenly, and the elves all went into the mountains and forests or lived with humans, those glorious magical achievements have not disappeared, and there are still many of them in this world, many of which have been found, and some have even become world-famous artifacts, but there are also many that are still hidden in the corners of the world, waiting for people to find them. ”
It was obviously not the first time that the barbarian had told this story, but the current atmosphere was obviously very awkward in this tone, and Galinda, the female warrior over there, spoke up:
"Don't talk about the useless quick text. ”
