Chapter 68: A New Goal

"What, to the prairie, why would you suddenly let us go there?" asked Leach, puzzled in Wright's office.

After being summoned to the City Lord's Mansion by Leigh, Wright and Lena issued a new commission with him and Lena, asking them to go to the prairie to find something called "Phantom Crystal".

This kind of private commission is not subject to the rules of the Adventure Hunter Guild, and is not protected by it, and is generally only published by people who are very familiar with each other, or because something is inconvenient for more people to know.

Private commissions, Wright has not released to the two of them before, but every time it is a small matter, it is okay for Lili to pass the word on his behalf, but like today, it is the first time that he has told it in person.

"Here's the thing, I have an old friend whose daughter had some emotional setbacks that she went insane instead of committing suicide. After many doctors diagnosed, they all said that there was no cure for her madness. My friend is also a person of great status, and he doesn't want his family to be ugly, and he doesn't want his daughter to become a madman and become a laughing stock, so he came to me for help when he was desperate. ”

"Although I am not a doctor, I can use my mental power to probe her brain and find out the root of the problem. After my observation, I found that the reason why she suddenly went crazy was that someone had secretly placed a very vicious curse, which was the first time I had seen it, and I did not know the correct way to solve the curse, and did not dare to act rashly so that it would cause irreparable consequences. ”

"But I know that there is one thing that can break all the curses of the world without any consequences, and that is the illusion crystal. ”

"It's just that although I know about Phantom Crystal, I have never seen it, and according to the information I have, it seems that only the Prairie has a little bit of information about Phantom Crystal. Originally, this kind of thing is more suitable for your master to go, after all, he often wanders around the mainland, and may know more than me, but unfortunately he accepted my commission a while ago and went to the border to investigate the matter, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come back, so I have to ask you. Michael told me before he left that he asked you to keep his guide airship for the time being, and it just so happened that you had a means of transportation to help me get around. ”

To be honest, with the Enchantress, Leach's original plan was actually to think of the Federation. Because over the years, Wright and Michael have tracked the direction of his parents, mostly on the two sides of the empire and the Holy Court, although the Federation also has exploration, but the focus is not on this, so after he has the ability to investigate, Leach's first target is set on the Federation.

But now with Michael's commission, Leach had to abandon his original plan for the time being.

"So, apart from the general direction of the prairie, there is no other valuable information at all for this commission?" Although he was a little reluctant, Leach dutifully asked questions related to the commission. If nothing else, just talking about Wright's care for them over the years, Leach can't say anything to refuse.

"I'm sorry, I know that there is very little information and the mission is difficult to complete, but I can personally provide you with some information that I can't confirm whether it is true or not, as for whether it is useful or not, you need to verify it yourself. ”

"It's better than nothing, Uncle Wright, say it!"

"The first point is relatively more credible, the inhabitants of the prairie are mostly gathered in the form of tribes, and the two oldest tribes among them, called the Wind Owl and the Frost Wolf, I think if there is news about the Phantom Crystal on the prairie, the most likely is that it is in these two tribes, you can start from this aspect after you arrive. ”

"The second point is a little less credible, because according to the information I have found, there is no clear information, and it is mostly in the form of myths and legends. Legend has it that in the desert deep in the savannah, there is an ancient ruin, which contains countless treasures, and the phantom crystal is the most precious treasure among them. However, in these myths and legends, the function of the phantom crystal is somewhat different. Legend has it that the Phantom Crystal can grant one of the wishes of the holder. Any wish can be fulfilled except not being an omnipotent god. ”

"However, there has been no news of the discovery of ruins in the desert so far, so I think the second point is unlikely to be true, and it should be the result of false rumors. ”

......

After saying goodbye to Wright, Leach did not rush back to meet Saya and Tali, but took Lena to a restaurant called the Adventure Hunter's House.

The reason why I came here was to inquire about the news.

As the name suggests, the restaurant caters mainly to adventure hunters. Although it is true that there is a special place for adventure hunters to eat and rest, the price is relatively high, and you must always be careful about your words and actions so as not to be caught by the head of the union, so many adventure hunters who don't like restraint will come here.

And a large part of the reason why this place is loved by adventure hunters is that the proprietress here is the wife of an adventure hunter, which will make adventure hunters feel closer.

Leach didn't bring Lena here to ask for advice from the other adventure hunters who were resting and dining here, after all, the adventure hunters' house was not a high-end place to consume, and here were mostly some unaffiliated stragglers, and Leach didn't think that these people could know about the illusion crystal that even Wright didn't know much about.

The real reason why Leach came here was actually for the proprietress of the hostess.

Although Leach had never eaten here under Lena's constraints, because of a commission, the two met the proprietress of the Adventure Hunter's House, and then learned that she was originally from the prairie, and because she fell in love with an adventure hunter from Ambrera, she married Ambrera thousands of miles away.

Leach came here to ask the proprietress about the two tribes of Wind Owl and Frost Wolf that Wright had said, and what to pay attention to when you arrived in the prairie.

"Welcome, please be seated, what do you need to eat?" As soon as she entered the door, a little girl with short green hair dressed as a waitress greeted her.

"Brother Leach, Sister Lena, you have come to see me!" The little girl immediately laughed happily when she saw who was coming.

The little girl's name is Nicole, and she is the only daughter of the proprietress who is only seven years old, but she is already a veritable second-in-command here, and she is in charge of many things in the restaurant.

Although Leach and Lena don't eat here, they often come to visit their mother and daughter, so they are very familiar with each other, and they both treat Nicole as their own sister.

When Leach asked about Nicole's mother, Nicole's face, which had been smiling, suddenly darkened.
