Chapter 43: The Ancient Alchemy Laboratory (1)
When the group came to Lilier to report the good news, they were told by the receptionist at the front desk that the branch president was personally receiving the distinguished guests in the backyard and had no time to come out to greet them.
The four of Leach who learned the news couldn't help but look at each other, as we all know, the branch here was once facing closure because of poor management, although the situation has been significantly improved after Liliet took over, but it is still tepid, there has been no so-called distinguished guests or big customers to come, usually this kind of people go to Erin's side. So much so that this backyard, which was originally used for high-level receptions, has almost become an exclusive conference room for Leach and a few people.
At this time, they suddenly heard that a distinguished guest was visiting, and it was no wonder that Leach and the others were surprised.
The four of Leach didn't have to wait long before Lilier appeared in the antechamber. It's just that she is alone, and the so-called distinguished guest does not appear.
"How's it going, how is it, have you found everything?" asked Liliel as soon as she saw Leach.
"Of course, you don't see who's out of the way!" Before Leach could speak, Tali took the lead.
"I don't know how many pounds and taels you have? The guy with a muscular head has all the little wisdom he has left, so I asked Hoffman to take advantage of them. It's good that you didn't hold back this time!"
"I'm going to smash you flat!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Leach hurriedly played a round: "Okay, Tali also helped this time, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have found things back so quickly." β
"Really?" said "disbelief" written all over Liliet's face.
"Then there is still a fake? You don't underestimate people!"
"Forget it, whatever. Hoffman, tell me what's going on, which bastard plus level 3 ran to the Tower Hill Orphanage to steal something?"
"What do you mean by an entourage, you tell me ...... clearly"
"Here's the thing......" Afraid that the two would quarrel endlessly, Leach forcibly interjected and told what had happened.
......
"Really, a talking tanuki?" Lilia closed her mouth in surprise as she listened.
"It's true, we saw it with our own eyes, and we caught it, but unfortunately one of them ran away without paying attention. β
"It's good if you get it back, just run away. "Liliet is very open-minded.
"By the way, who did you just host?"
"Oops, I almost forgot to get down to business. This commission is a big event, and the client actually came with a letter of introduction from the general association!" Lilier slapped her forehead.
"Since there is a letter of introduction from the association, the identity must be unusual, how can you come here to post a mission? Uh, sorry, I don't mean anything else. In the middle of speaking, Leach suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized.
Liliel was obviously in a good mood, and didn't take Leach's offense to heart, but said with a smile: "It's okay, I have to thank you for it!"
"Thank you...... We?"
"yes, do you remember the mission of the Full Moon Flower that you received from me last time?"
"Of course I remember, why did you suddenly mention this?"
"That task was issued from the general meeting, and each chapter has a release, but no one wants to take such a long detour, and you just happened to complete it easily, and the client is the distinguished guest I received today! Because you helped pick the full moon flower, that's why you came to me. Hoffman, you're really my lucky star!" Lilière looked like she was rewarding her subordinates for their ability to do things.
"You don't come!" said Leach, angrily patting Liliet's hand off his shoulder, "just because we picked the full moon flowers? I don't believe that such a big man would come here because of a small commission. Say, is there something else?"
"It's nothing, it's just about this commission, the client doesn't want people with powerful backgrounds to get involved, that's why they come to me to try their luck. β
"Don't you want to have a background of influence? It's strange, generally speaking, aren't all those with a background of power relatively strong, no matter how bad they are, they will have a lot of contacts and financial resources, why do you want to go far?"
"Well...... Forget it, anyway, I was going to leave this commission to you, and it was nothing to tell you in advance. This commission is to hope that you will escort the client to find an ancient alchemy laboratory, because the client is afraid that people with powerful backgrounds will participate in it and will take some important information as their own and affect the progress of the research, so they will have a requirement for the identity of the recipient. β
Leach was a little relieved, and then had a new doubt: "It's still not right, since the identity of the client is not ordinary, then why don't you use your connections to find someone to help, you have to find an adventure hunter you don't know? No matter how you look at it, it's more reliable to be a person who knows the roots, right?"
"How do I know this, I'm here for the Adventure Hunters Guild, not a private detective agency, do I have to find out the details of the people every time someone comes to issue a commission?" Liliel said with a little displeasure after being questioned by Leach repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I just thought it was a little weird. β
"What's so strange, everyone has their own secrets, Hoffman, you're not an adventure hunter on the first day, what strange client hasn't seen it, how did you become a mother-in-law today?...... You want to be lazy again?" Lilier remembered Leach's previous "glorious deeds" and suddenly froze.
"Uh...... Hehe, haha, what, didn't I set up an adventure party now, and as the head of the group, I have to think about the safety of my own team members, right, do you think that's the reason?" Leach's explanation was very unconfident.
"Hmph, it's better to be like this. However, this commission is really worth doing, and the reward is very rich, there are 200,000 Baileys! 200,000 Baileys, after completing this commission, we will definitely be able to make our club famous, and when the time comes, I will definitely win the bet! Hoffman, haven't you been saving money lately, this is a big deal, don't you want to move?"
"Poof......" Leach was drinking water, and squirted out when he heard the words, "More...... How much? 200,000? Did I hear me right?"
"Okay, we've got this task over!" Before Leach could recover his senses, Lena suddenly sprang up and startled everyone with a loud noise.
"Don't be so excited, scare me to death!" Lilia said, patting her chest and shocked, "It's a pity that you came a little late, if you had come a little earlier, you would have met the client, and now we have to wait until tomorrow." β
