Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Dead Insider

"Back then, your grandfather, Old Field, said something similar to me before leaving, and told me with a smile on his face that the place he was going to was safe and there would be no danger. "What's even more unforgivable is that I was stupid enough to believe him." The first two times he went out on adventures, each time the proceeds were worth millions, the rarest materials, the most expensive treasures, and an accurate clue to the underground ruins, and with that clue alone, it was sold in the adventurer's guild for a high price of more than four million gold coins. I should have thought that if I could have such a high profit, how could it be a safe place, if I could go to a safe place and have such a high profit, then who would go to work desperately to make money? He was so calm at that time that I believed him in a daze, alas, if I could have known in advance where he was going, I would have tried my best to stop him. ”

"Grandfather, what was his goal?" asked Catherine with some curiosity, "Didn't you tell you before you went?"

"He lied, and the place he was going to was not at all the place he had sued me before. Snape said indignantly: "It took me years to deduce from some clues where he had gone." If it weren't for the fact that he had told others about his destination during his last replenishment, I am afraid that no one would know about it until now. ”

"I remember you told your father that he ended up in the Forest of Death. As she spoke, Catherine's eyes suddenly widened, and the power in her hand almost broke off a piece of wood from the side of the ship, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the place where my grandfather went was the heart of the Death Forest, and it was very close to the place we were going to?"

"That's how it should be, that's what the result is inferred from the clues. Snape sighed and said, "It's not unthinkable, after all, it's other than that." Where else can you get a more exaggerated return than the previous ones?"

"This ...... Grandfather, why did he go there?" Catherine said puzzledly, "It is true that there are high returns, but the benefits and risks are not proportional at all, unless there is a clear purpose, such as a task that requires something special there, there is no one willing to go deep into the heartland, among adventurers." This is already common sense. ”

"I don't know the specifics. Marquis Snape shook his head and said regretfully, "It is said that it is because of a very well-paid mission, which is high enough to tempt him to go deep into the core of the forest. However, I didn't get the details of the mission, or rather, the mission itself is very mysterious, and the details are only known to the person who accepted the mission. ”

"The person in question is my grandfather. Catherine smiled wryly and said, "I can't figure out the reason now." ”

"Actually, there was once another person who knew some inside information. Snape recalled, "The man was the member of the squad that had set off with Old Field for the core of the forest, and the only one who came back alive, and that was him." The Adventurer's Guild learned about your grandfather's actual destination. However, you won't have a chance to ask him, because less than a year after he returned, he died of serious injuries. ”

"That man...... Who is it?" Catherine asked hesitantly, biting her lip, "I've never heard you mention such a person. ”

"Because it doesn't make sense. Snape shook his head, "He's been bedridden since he returned, and he's been in a coma for several times longer than he has woken up, and even if he does, it's a mess of news about your grandfather." It was he who finally regained his consciousness before his death, and briefly explained a few words before we had a chance to know. Pity. The time was too short, he died almost without saying anything, the information was already vague, and if it came to me, it would be even more irrestorable. ”

"However, I still want to know who this person is. Catherine frowned and said, "Even if he's dead." There will always be someone else around him when he dies, so that you can gather information, and if you find this 'other person', maybe you will have the opportunity to inquire more about your grandfather's situation?"

"This other person is me. The voice suddenly sounded not far from behind the two of them, with Catherine's perception. I didn't even notice anyone standing not far behind me. Surprised, Catherine and Snape both turned around at the same time, and found behind them an old man with gray hair, who said calmly: "I was at his bedside when he died, and I heard every word he said clearly. ”

"Yes...... President?" Catherine felt that her brain couldn't react, and she looked blankly at the leader who had controlled the Adventurer's Guild for more than thirty years, and suddenly thought of another thing, and even her throat tightened a little in surprise, and she screamed: "If it were you, nearly forty years ago, could it be that the one who died was ......?"

"You guessed it right. Odin was well aware of Catherine's conjecture and said with certainty: "Forty years ago, the one who went deep into the Forest of Death with your grandfather was the former president of our guild. When he returned, he reluctantly appointed me to act as president and fell into a coma, and it was not until a year later, when he came to his senses on his deathbed, that he officially passed the position of president to me. ”

"So that's ......" Catherine recalled the little things that happened in the past, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder, no wonder for so many years, I have always felt that in terms of tasks, I can always grab some tasks with higher returns and risks, as if someone is quietly helping me, it seems that this is not my delusion, the person who secretly takes care of me is you, Lord Odin." ”

"You're sensitive, yes, it's me, but it's not much of a help to you, it's just a little bit more inclined to you on the basis of not violating the rules of the guild. Odin nodded and said: "After all, the guild itself has conventions, and for members with more development potential, it is allowed to make a certain amount of support, but I am only within the scope of my authority, and the strength of support has been raised to a higher level within the allowable range, and all of them are in accordance with the regulations, that is, you have not taken advantage of the guild." ”

"Even so, I would like to thank you for taking care of you. Catherine sighed and said, "However, don't do this in the future, Lord German, this is not fair to other adventurers." ”

"No, it's fair, you and your team, your development is fully up to the standard of enjoying this kind of treatment, I said, every qiē is in accordance with the regulations. Odin said seriously: "Moreover, since all of you have advanced to the Gold Rank Professional, this kind of tilt has become less and less, and after you have advanced to the Golden Adventure Group, the tilt period is completely over, and there is no special treatment."
