Chapter 50: The Matthews Family

After breakfast, the two came to the gate of the camp at the appointed time, and found that it was already crowded with people, and it seemed that most of the adventurers in the camp had run over, like Ryan's morning market. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What do you mean, so many people are coming to give us a farewell party?"

The magician's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of a godson in the crowd, this guy also seemed to see Rob, his face changed drastically, and he wanted to sneak away, but unfortunately he didn't succeed and was finally stopped by the quasi-magister.

"Daddy. The little thief shouted the word with the same expression on his face as if he were constipated.

"Uh-huh, what's going on here?"

"The Mercenary Guild issued a C-level commission in the morning, the reward is very good, and the risk of finding lost property should not be great, so everyone came over to see the excitement, oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a bit of a rush in the morning, so I will go first, Dad. ”

The little thief's acting skills are sparse and the twists are blunt, but luckily Lolo also found the rest of the expedition team at this time, and Rob let the unlucky guy go.

Han Sen saw the two of them coming over, looked around, and made sure that no one was paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice and said, "I have already told you about the secret treasure, including the division of the portion, everyone has no opinion, and when you get to the dungeon, you can take out the map, besides, have you seen the new commission released by the guild this time?"

"Huh, the one looking for the lost item?"

"Yes, the client is said to be the youngest son of Viscount Majorson. ”

"Wait, you're talking about the Viscount Majorson of the Matthews family?" Rob raised his eyebrows, he was familiar with this name, Matthews was an old nobleman, and the family had a long history, longer than the Lionheart Empire.

At the beginning of the empire, after Lehart I solved the external enemies, he waited until the country was a little more stable, and immediately began to deal with internal problems.

So these guys formed an alliance in private, and used their influence to start fanning the flames in the shadows, and from time to time to find some trouble for Lehart I and add some trouble, and the old giants like the Matthews family were naturally also their targets, but the principal of the Matthews family at that time had always maintained considerable restraint in this matter, not only did not interfere, but sold a favor to the old emperor when the empire needed help the most.

As a result, a series of events later proved that the principals of the Matthews family at that time had a very keen political vision, and when the empire was completely stabilized, the nobles who stirred up trouble everywhere became fish on the board, and were suppressed everywhere by Lehart's cronies, and the bullying did not have a temper at all, but the low-key Matthews family escaped.

For hundreds of years, the Matthews family continued to maintain their previous style of forbearance, until recently, after Lehart VII came to power, the political situation of the empire changed again, and the new emperor hoped to use some old aristocratic forces to counterbalance the growing new forces, so the old family returned to the limelight.

Now the Matthews family is very hot in the ruling class of the empire, even the future super magister His Excellency has heard of some names in this family, Viscount Jackson is also among them, although this person is only from a side lineage, but he is a rare practical talent, in just thirty years, from knight step by step to viscount, almost by his own strength, the family did not gradually pay attention to him until he became a viscount, and in recent years, he has successively provided him with some resources, and his development is more stable.

The aristocracy generally believed that as long as nothing happened, Jackson would definitely be able to sit in the position of earl in twenty years.

The history of his struggle can be written as chicken soup for the soul, and it can be taken out to brainwash all the aspiring young people who work hard in big cities.

"Why would such a big man be interested in a dungeon that is still in the early stages of land reclamation, there should be nothing he wants on the first and second floors. Luo Luo is obviously no stranger to the name Jefferson, so the girl has such doubts.

"Hmm, do you know how this dungeon was discovered in the first place?"

"It is said that it seems that some nobleman who likes to explore is looking for the legendary heart of the 10,000-year-old tree in the endless sea of trees, but accidentally finds the entrance to the dungeon," said the rookie brave, who seemed to think of something, and his eyes widened, "...... Wait, could it be that the nobleman in the story is from the Matthews family?"

"Well, it is rumored that this young nobleman is actually the illegitimate son of Viscount Majorson, and he immediately sent an entourage to report the matter to the family after discovering the dungeon, while he himself insisted on going down to have a look, despite the captain's obstruction, and in the end they did not return to a team of thirteen. ”

Listening to the second-order swordsman, Rob seems to be a little impressed, a few days ago he and Kenneth drank in the heart of the adventurer, the captain of the guard seems to have mentioned this stubble, and later the Matthews family also organized a rescue team, composed of a team of regular guards, all of them are professionals, enter the dungeon to search and rescue, Kenneth also participated, it is said that the operation lost a lot of manpower, but never found the target, and finally ran out of supplies and had to retreat to the surface.

Now, half a year later, that reckless guy can't be alive anyway.

"Viscount Jefferson now hopes that someone can find the bones and relics of the squad and bring them back intact, among which the corpses of ordinary guards are ten gold coins each, the corpse of the captain of the guard is twenty gold coins, and the corpse of the guy who is suspected of being the illegitimate son of the viscount is as high as 50 gold coins, in addition to the items they carry, Viscount Jackson is also willing to recycle them at a price more than three times higher than the market price, this C-level commission is currently unlimited, and anyone can take it. ”

"Wow, that sounds tempting. Luo Luo sighed, "It is worthy of being a wealthy family, it is really refreshing enough, this commission may add up to more than an ordinary secret treasure, it seems that Viscount Jefferson values this illegitimate son very much." ”

"Huh. ”

"Why, do you disagree?" the rookie brave looked at the magician beside him, and the latter's solitary tone particle was clearly expressing a different opinion.

"Believe me, if you really care about a person, you will never think of collecting his body after more than half a year. Rob said lazily, "Although the Matthews family has been trying their best to cover it up, and this commission has spent most of the time talking about the price of each bone, but in fact, it is only to hide their true purpose. The drunkard didn't mean to drink, the unlucky ghost who didn't care about his grandmother and uncle should have carried something that Viscount Jackson cared about very much, the Matthews family called Collecting Corpses, but they actually wanted to retrieve that thing. ”

Luo Luo's heart pounded when he heard this, "How much do you think that thing will be worth?"

The quasi-magister smiled, and instead of answering the rookie brave man's question, he looked at the team leader on the side.

Hansen's face also showed a look of greed, but after struggling for a while, he shook his head, "No matter how much that thing is worth, we can't take it, if we really find that thing, I suggest that it is better to pretend that you don't know anything and return it to the Matthews family, and we will take as much as they give us when the time comes."

"Bingo, that's the answer. Rob was also a big deal to watch the excitement, but now he is busy incognito, and he is not in the mood to wade into this muddy water for the time being.
