Chapter 108: A Failed Mission
Vivi was still a girl who had just turned twenty, and she had hardly been out under the wing of her parents. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so he was very curious about everything outside. Sherlock is an old man, so he often tells her about the mercenary world.
This made Wei Wei yearn for it, so before leaving, Wei Wei proposed that they form a mercenary team, only bring a small amount of money, and earn rewards while doing tasks on the way, while going to the Duolun Continent, and visiting the scenery along the way.
Sherlock knew that Vivi was not helpless, but rather the best of her peers. Moreover, she fused the Shadow Assassin's transfer rune, and her methods were mysterious and unpredictable, which was enough to protect herself in her mercenary career. What's more, there is Sherlock with him.
Sherlock believed that if he was given a bow, he would be able to live a nourished life even if he was stripped naked and thrown into the inaccessible wilderness. So he confidently agreed to the request of his beloved girl, and began their honeymoon journey with Vivi.
They formed a team of mercenaries, which Vivi named "Hidden Kill". They passed through several islands in the Victorian Commonwealth and left some stories behind. Finally, I crossed a large ocean by boat and came to the continent of Duolun.
Sherlock took Vivi to the royal capital to worship his father, and then to Dallas to worship his sister and brother-in-law. In the meantime, he also contacted a few small tasks through some of his past mercenary world networks to complete with Weiwei.
The astonishing completion efficiency shocked the mercenary world of the Elam Kingdom, and finally someone with a heart began to notice their pair.
After paying homage to his sister, Sherlock also inquired about his nephew. He was told that he had died in battle, leaving only a son named Andy Charles who was studying witchcraft with a wizard named Stein in Dallas.
Sherlock was about to go to Dallas to see his only relative on the continent, but he learned through secret channels that something had happened to his mercenary group left in the Victorian Federation.
Sherlock remained silent in front of Vivi, but he was already planning to go back as soon as possible. So he doesn't plan to go to Dallas again.
He found Andy Charles' aunt, Mrs. Daniel, from a manor belonging to the Charles family, not far from his sister's grave. He prepared a large sum of magic stones and cultivation resources and entrusted Mrs. Daniel to hand them over to Andy......
Sherlock then took Vivi and took a shortcut towards the royal capital of Prontera. Because he left Andy with a lot of resources and belongings. So Sherlock and Vivi were more or less affected by their expenses along the way.
Seeing this, Sherlock took a small job in Monriku City by the way. It's just to protect a noble kid to go to the royal capital of Grim Academy to study. This kind of mission Sherlock has done not a thousand, but eight hundred, and has never missed.
However, after being in the mercenary world for so long, caution has been deeply rooted in his bones. He still inquired about the employer's situation in detail. He learned that his employer, despite his young age, already had the title of baron, of course, mainly thanks to his good background and his father's early death, so the baron's act could fall to the only son of his family.
Sherlock surveyed his social connections a little more to see if he had any enemies. Then he found that this guy did a lot of things to bully men and women, and the people he offended were all over the place.
Not long ago, he had seized a property belonging to a declining little wizard family in the city. He also nearly got into a physical altercation with one of the family's apprentice wizards named Kane......
However, after analyzing it, Sherlock felt that this kid was not completely brainless, at least he hadn't provoked anyone who shouldn't be offended. Most of the people he offended were not to be a cause for concern. Take that wizard apprentice named Kane, at least he is also a witchcraft practitioner, and he actually has to use physical altercation to solve the problem, can you expect him to counterattack?
Sherlock, who thought that this order could be accepted, did not hesitate any longer, rested for one night in the city of Monliku, and took the little baron on the road the next day.
The journey went smoothly, and they soon arrived at the royal capital. Then they found an inn and stayed there.
In fact, it's still early, and the little baron can go to Graeme Academy to sign up now, so that Sherlock can go to the mercenary organization in the royal capital to submit a mission. But the boy was too tired on the road, and he wanted to take a shower and rest.
Sherlock, who knew the virtues of the nobles, didn't say anything, anyway, he just handed in the task for a while.
When the boy had finished washing and resting, Sherlock invited him out to dine with him, and after eating, he took him to sign up, and Sherlock was relieved. Maybe he was looking forward to the life of the college, and the kid agreed very happily.
But while eating, something happened, and in the lobby of the inn, in full view of everyone, the little baron "whoosh" disappeared at once!
Sherlock searched around the inn for a long time, but found no trace of him, which made Sherlock's heart sink.
Later, the movement here alarmed the royal law enforcement team, and Sherlock had to quietly escape, after all, he still had the kingdom's wanted on his back, although his current appearance was far from being recognized more than 20 years ago, but Sherlock still subconsciously did not want to deal with the official.
Supposedly, he should contact the Night Circus now to buy a ticket to leave the continent of Duolun. But Sherlock's work ethic didn't allow him to do so, even if his mercenary group still had problems waiting for him to solve.
Sherlock had been investigating the hotel for nearly half a month, but found nothing. Later, he contacted the baron's family and learned that the "natal lock" that the baron had left in the family had been broken......
Sherlock's mission fails! Not only does he not get paid, but he is also required to pay double the baron's family according to the agreement. Sherlock gave three times as much! If he hadn't had the money on hand, he might have given more.
So that he can have some peace of mind. But he was at ease, and the money was gone. They had no money to buy a ticket back. But how could a capable man be stumped by this, he began to continue to take tasks in the royal capital again.
Because of his recent bad record, Sherlock's mercenary career in the royal capital was much more bumpy. Hardly anyone was looking for him for the big tasks, but some tasks like finding cats and walking dogs made Sherlock a little irritable.
At this time, a community organization called Beehive came to the door and said that it had a task entrusted to him. Seeing the mysterious and ominous appearance of these guys, Sherlock instinctively refused.
But I didn't expect them to call out their real names directly! Sherlock had the intention to immediately kill his mouth, but he was afraid that now in the royal capital, there was a monitoring circle. So ask the people of the hive what exactly they want.
The people of the hive don't look mysterious, but they are very generous, and Sherlock calculates that after completing this order, it will be enough to buy a ticket to return to the Victoria Islands. So he took the order.
Now thinking about Peter, the target of this order, Sherlock had a headache, and he suddenly felt that receiving these rewards was not much at all. Such a superb, I don't know what will happen tomorrow.
He was thinking about it when he suddenly felt something wrong under him, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. It turned out that Weiwei's little hands began to be dishonest again.
Sherlock smiled, turned around and picked up Vivi, he hugged Vivi, kicked open the bedroom door with a kick, and strode in.
Haha," he laughed heartily and loudly.
"The old man talks about juvenile madness!"
