"Take the task. Link recruited a few seemingly free new tenders, and took Hagen and Melly to the mercenary Fog Cloud City headquarters to pick up the mission.

Receiving missions is basically the biggest source of income for small and medium-sized mercenary groups.

Link filled out the form on the ground floor, noting his level and abilities. There is also Hagen's level 3 barbarian status.

So, I received a small mission: to investigate the disappearance of villagers in Baihe Town. The reward is 50 Grey Ice.

It's not that the income of the people here is too high, although in the bank, the exchange of gray ice for gold and silver coins is one gray ice for twenty-five gold coins, but that is because the people here cannot touch the gold and silver, and basically loses the role of currency, and the gray ice is the gold coin here, so there is this exchange rate, and therefore, 50 gray ice for the people of Farah is equal to 50 Jindeler for the people of Philo.

However, it is not a small amount, a lord is only two hundred or three hundred gray ice annual income.

Hearing that she was going to let her out, Melly was a little unhappy, and barely endured, obviously, just like her true words, she was a housegirl and hated going out.

Baihe Town is located in the lower reaches of the Motianling Mountains, the cold forest is deserted, the maple leaves are red, the white water is like practice, and the autumn frost is better than the snow.

Although the houses in Baihe Town are old and look a little black, they are neatly maintained and neat.

The hot spring water flows down from the high mountains of the Hural Mountains, flows through the valleys, and on both sides of the spring water, the green grass is like grass, and the flowers are brocade, which is a rare scenery in the north.

Baihe Town is neither big nor small, with more than 600 people, and there is a tavern in the village for pedestrians to eat, and it also operates a small hotel. It's called Mora Tavern.

This tavern has been handed down by Morazu, and up to now, it has been four generations, more than one hundred and thirty years.

The house was old, the thick wooden pillars that one person hugged had cracked one after another, and the roof was thick planks and stone chips, covered with blackened moss. The dark slates, blackened moss, and unswept snow look particularly simple and elegant.

There is a long wooden box in front of the door, and snow chrysanthemums bloom inside. Snow chrysanthemum has yellow, white and purple, the white leaves are carved like ice and snow, and the flowers are like the colorful spring, which looks elegant and beautiful.

A few villagers, commonly known as farmers, and a few travelers, sat around wooden tables in the tavern, drinking and bragging.

Suddenly, there was a clattering of horses' hooves outside the door, and when everyone looked out, they saw a few barbarians and a carriage or two.

The carriage stopped, and a pink noblewoman came out of the carriage with a faint expression. Stood beside a barbarian with a small, if not short, and weak axe embroidered on his scalp.

He looked at his face, he was only about twenty, his expression was indifferent, although he was a barbarian, he had an elegant taste.

The clothes and clothes are all rare in the life of those present, and the handsome face, pale complexion, and slender white hands without any traces of work all show that this young man is an authentic nobleman. Even if his profession is a barbarian among the powerful knights, he is more like a nobleman.

The hotel owner Mora hurriedly greeted him, rubbed his thick and red palms, and said, "Venerable lord, do you want to eat something?" The pickled meat in this store is very famous, and even the Black Crane Tavern in Fog Cloud City is purchased from this store. ”

The aristocratic young man waved his hand and said lightly, "Yo, is it? Then bring me a plate of pickled pork and miscellaneous pieces." ”

The hotel owner immediately yelled inside and said, "Old woman, cut a large plate full of marinated chicken legs, beef, ham, sausage, and belly strips!"

The aristocratic young man walked in slowly.

Inside, the daughter of the hotel owner had already wiped a table clean.

The aristocratic young man sat down, pointed to the table opposite, and said, "Do it, shopkeeper." You can tell me about the matter of Baihe Town, which farmer has the most harvest, and which family has a good income, let's talk about it. ”

The shopkeeper Mora carefully sat on the opposite side of his ass, and said: "Speaking of harvest, Old John's harvest is the best, he and Little John have harvested three hundred and twenty pounds of wheat per acre, which is a hundred pounds more than others, and they all say that Little John must be the darling of nature." ”

The aristocratic young man said, "Is it?"

It is also that there seems to be no druid profession in the world of power knights, otherwise, the primitive shaman, the so-called darling of nature, will definitely be able to advance to the real darling profession of nature.

Soon, the wax was ready.

Link eats, hey, it tastes surprisingly good, even better than the pickles in the Copper Bull Tavern, too, the Copper Bull Tavern is all old, and there is no climate and temperature here that is so suitable for preserving the pickles.

Seeing that Link was more satisfied, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands happily.

Link had eaten, pointed to the side, and said, "You eat too." ”

The shopkeeper immediately shouted, "Cut two more plates!"

Link said, "Hagen, Merry, after you have eaten, go and call the head of the village, and I will meet them here." ”

Hagen said, "Chief, I'll go when I'm done." ”

Hagen and they went, and before they returned, they heard a woman running in this direction, screaming, "I am going to complain to the master!"

A man scolded in a rough voice, "Dead mother-in-law, that girl ran away to meet her lover by herself, what kind of bird are you suing?"

With a wave of his hand, Link got out of the way of one of the trainee savages, and the peasant woman threw herself down in front of Link, wailing and crying, "Please, kind sir, get my Alice back, she's been missing for a day and a night, she's only fourteen years old!"

A man with roe eyebrows and a mouse-eyed man accompanied by a smiling face wanted to come over and drag the peasant woman away.

Link waved his hand and said, "Wait, can you be clear?"

The peasant woman said, "Your lord, when I came home from farming yesterday, I found the house in disarray, and asked the dead ghost, and he said that my little boy of fourteen had run away with some wild man. I absolutely don't believe it. I waited for a day and a night, and little Alice didn't come home, and I beg you, send your men to find it. ”

Link thought of the missing townsfolk and said, "Do you know where your daughter used to go?"

"Forest of Thorns. She picks mushrooms at the edge of the forest. ”

Link said, "Wait for Hagen to come back, well, it's time for Melly to come back." ”

Fortunately, Melly and the others soon came over with the head of the village.

Link said a few words, and Melly got up and went with the peasant woman.

After a while, Merry came back and said, "I found the little girl running out of town in a panic and into the depths of the forest. Shall we go together?"

"Let's go. You stay here and continue to investigate. Link ordered the other apprentices to continue their visit to the townspeople, and he walked deeper into the forest with Hagen and Merry.
