Judging from the posture of the mysterious magician, it is obvious that the other party has come to look for them.

In this regard, Li Ge was a little curious, why did the other party specifically find him and Ace at this time?

In the original book, although the other party also found Ace, it was because Ace had already been in contact with the relationship behind the incident before that.

But here, because of Riege's influence, Ace has been escalating for a while, and she has been practicing the breath of the wind in the base camp, basically not going out, not participating in the various events that happened in the original book, and naturally not coming into contact with those guys who are about to move in the dark in advance.

In this case, why did this mysterious magician affiliated with the guild still find the two of them, Li Ge had some doubts about the reason and consideration of this.

Thankfully, the confusion was quickly resolved.

“…… There are actually two reasons why I found two of them. ”

The mysterious magician lowered his head slightly and whispered.

"First of all, it's not the first time that the monster explosion that happened on the 24th floor has happened."

According to the other party, the same incident occurred on the 30th floor before the anomalous situation on the 24th floor.

"That time, I also entrusted a high-level adventurer to go to the scene of the incident to investigate, and although there were many twists and turns and accidents in the middle, the other party still managed to bring back important related items from the scene."

However......

"After getting the relevant items, the other party secretly handed over the things to another adventurer I commissioned in the safety floor on the 18th floor, and then ......... He was killed. ”

As soon as these words came out of the mouth of the mysterious magician, Ace, who had been listening quietly, immediately reacted.

"On a secure floor...... Killed? ”

Ace was moved.

"Yes." The mysterious magician said in a serious tone, "He was killed on the security floor. ”

That's a lot of information.

You know, the safe floor is a floor that doesn't produce monsters, and even if there are some monsters from other floors, these monsters will only be the type that haunts the floors near this safe floor.

The 18th floor is a middle level, and the monsters that will be active in the floors near this level can be classified up to Lv.2.

However, the 30th floor is the lower level, and even the Lv.2 team can't go to explore, and the guild also recommends adventurers to explore the area after Lv.3.

Since the adventurer entrusted by the mysterious magician can come and go freely on the 30th floor, it proves that the other party is at least a second-level adventurer at Lv.3.

Adventurers of this level are unlikely to be killed by monsters in the 18th floor.

Other words......

"It's very likely that this is a man-made event."

The mysterious magician spoke in a deep voice.

"In fact, the other party was also killed in a hotel in the town, where it is unlikely that there will be monsters."

The implication is that the possibility of being artificial is almost 100 percent.

"As for the people who were killed......... He is the second-level adventurer of the Ganesian clan with a level of Lv.4. ”

With that, Rig and Ace understood it all.

"In other words, do you think that these two monster surges are not just simple dungeon anomalies, but someone is behind it?" Li Ge took a deep look at the other party and said, "The other party can easily kill a Lv.4 in the town, so you judge that to solve this incident, it is best to entrust a first-level adventurer above Lv.5?" ”

"That's it."

The mysterious magician tapped his jaw, confirming Rieger's claim.

Lv.5 Level 1 Adventurers, although there are not as few adventurers at this level as Lv.6 in Oralei, there are definitely not many of them.

At the very least, the family with a first-level adventurer can almost be counted on one hand in Olari.

And among these clans, the Loki clan is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, powerful, and eye-catching clan, and only the Freya clan can compare with it.

In this case, it is not surprising that the other party would want to entrust the first-level adventurer of the Loki clan to solve this incident.

Of course......

"That's the first reason."

The mysterious magician turned his gaze to look at Rige.

"And the second reason is because of you."

Hearing this, Li Ge raised his eyebrows.

"Because of me?"

This is really a bit unexpected.

"That's right." The mysterious magician said lightly: "Because you have already had contact with suspicious monsters during the monster sacrifice." ”

The other party's words reminded Ace on the side of the monster sacrifice again.

“…… You're talking about those cannibal flowers? ”

Ace clearly has a deep impression of those ugly monsters.

"It's them." The mysterious magician said, "During the events on the 30th floor, the people who assisted us once claimed to have seen a colorful man-eating flower monster that they had never seen before. ”

That's why this mysterious magician specifically sought out Rieger.

This is because he has already come into contact with the corners and corners of these suspicious events, and has come into contact with some clues.

"Those man-eating flowers are very tricky, not only do they have skins that nullify strike damage, but they also overreact to magic, and if you want to deal with that kind of monster, you can't just send a warrior who is good at front-line combat or a guard magician, at least a swordsman with high-level weapons or even a magic swordsman who is good at front-line combat and parallel chanting."

"There are also individual differences between them, the weak ones are probably only equivalent to Lv.2 or Lv.3, and the strong ones are equivalent to Lv.4 or even Lv.5, which is something that ordinary adventurers can solve."

"But such a tricky monster was easily destroyed by you that day."

The mysterious magician looked at Rig while revealing information about the monster involved to Rig and Ace.

"I see." Li Ge said extremely calmly: "That's why you're eyeing me, right?" ”

This is the second reason why the other party deliberately found Rieg and Ace.

"Olali's strongest magic swordsman and the strongest female swordsman, your strength even the gods boast, this incident cannot be solved by first-level adventurers, you are undoubtedly the best among them." The Mystic Magician said, "I hope you will help, that's what the guild means. ”

As the official governing body of Oralie, the guild can issue mandatory tasks to all dependents in the city in the event of an emergency.

The clans in the city also have the obligation to assist the guild, which is a contract that has been established when the guild is founded.

With the clans gaining a foothold in Orari and being able to get help from guilds when exploring dungeons, it is necessary for them to help if the city has a problem.

This is a long-term cooperation mode between the two sides, so after the abnormal situation on the 24th floor occurs, some adventurers will ask the guild to quickly let the Great Clan send first-level adventurers to solve this situation.

If it weren't for the suspicious points of this incident, and there were also man-made events behind it, the guild would not dare to act rashly, and would not dare to casually put forward a mandatory task to the dependents in the city, as long as the guild threw down a mandatory task, let alone Rig and Ace, the entire Loki clan would have to unconditionally assist the guild to solve this incident.

Unable to directly propose a mandatory task, the guild can only find Rieg and Ace in person like this, and issue a commission to them that does not have a coercive effect.

After understanding what had happened, Rieg and Ace glanced at each other.

Ace took a slight step back, as if leaving the decision to Rieger.

This kind of private commission can be refused, anyway, it is not a mandatory task, and the guild cannot force them to accept it.

But this matter sounds serious, and there are signs of manipulation behind it, and if left unchecked, it is very likely to threaten the surface and threaten Olalie.

From this point of view, Ace felt that this commission was acceptable, and it was best to solve it if it could be solved.

It's a pity that she is not good at words, nor is she good at too complicated thinking, so she can't say why.

In view of this, Ace leaves the decision of the matter to Rig and lets Rig make the judgment.

Such Ace didn't know that in fact, Rieg would be here with her today for this purpose.

This matter was not entirely unrelated to the blonde-haired and golden-eyed female swordsman, so Rig had already decided to intervene in this matter.

With the sudden arrival of the mysterious magician and his commission, even if it weren't for this, Rig would have gone to the 24th floor.

In this way, there is only one option from the start.

"I have two questions."

Rig suddenly spoke to the mysterious magician.

"You say."

The mysterious magician lifted his chin and motioned for Rig to ask a question.

"You asked Lv.4 of the Ganesa clan to go to the 30th floor, and you also stayed there with items related to the incident, right?" Rieg pointed out sharply, "Where is that thing now?" ”

“…… It's already in my hands. The mysterious magician didn't seem to expect Rigg to ask this question, pausing for a moment before saying, "Another adventurer I commissioned took the item and returned to the surface when the town on the 18th floor was in turmoil due to the murder, and handed it to me." ”

"I've got rid of it."

"That's not something you should leave alone."

The words of the mysterious magician somewhat concealed something.

For example, he didn't say what that thing was.

For example, he didn't say what would have happened if the thing had been left unchecked.

Ace noticed this, and thought to herself secretly.

"It's because of that thing that the guild doesn't dare to casually disclose this incident and propose a mandatory task to the outside world?"

Ace thought it was possible.

On the contrary, it was Rige, as if he didn't care about the whereabouts and true face of this thing, and asked the second question.

"You said that if we solve this commission, we will be paid handsomely, right?"

That's what Rieg said.

"Is there a magic book in this reward?"

Hearing the content of the question, not only did Ace show a surprised expression without a trace, but even the mysterious magician was stunned, and then reacted.

"Do you need a magic book?" He seemed to understand something, and said, "The world is saying that you can use the magic of [Sword Queen] and [Thousand Fairies], so some gods have long pointed out that you may be the same as [Nine Demon Queens] and [Thousand Fairies], both of whom hold special magic and can use far more than three kinds of magic. ”

"In this way, it is indeed possible that your magic slots will continue to increase, and more magic possibilities will be discovered."

"It's normal that you'll need a magic book like this."

Saying this, the mysterious magician made a promise very easily.

"Since you need a magic book, I can help you prepare it."

"In the reward I will give you, I will add at least two magic books."

"How?"

Hearing that the mysterious magician said that the precious magic items were like cabbage on the street, and that she could prepare them whenever she wanted, Ace couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

"Okay." Li Ge was not surprised at all, smiled suddenly, and finally nodded happily and agreed, and said, "We accepted this commission." ”

"Thank you." The mysterious magician bowed his head and said, "Then please go to Rivera Town first." ”

"I've got helpers for the two of you, as long as you go to the designated tavern and say the secret word, the other party will know who you are and what you are here for."

"I'll leave the rest to you."

With such words, the mysterious magician slowly disappeared as if he had melted into the fog.

Only Rig and Ace were left in place, watching the mysterious magician leave, and there was no sound for a long time.

After a moment, Rieg turned to Ace.

"You don't blame me, do you?" Li Ge said softly: "Blame me for accepting this commission without authorization, and also proposed a specific reward." ”

“…… No. Ace shook her head and said very understandingly: "Since it is what you need, there is no way." ”

"Just ......"

Ace became speechless and stopped.

"Just what?"

Rieg asked.

"Can you believe this person?"

Ace hesitated to ask this question.

"You don't think he can be trusted?"

Rieger did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Very suspicious...... Ace did not refute this, and while stating her opinion, she said, "And, I don't know why, I always have a bad premonition......"

Rig stared at Ace's face for a moment, his eyes full of meaning.

Not so good premonition...... Is it?

It seems that the girl has realized intuitively that this incident is likely to be closely related to herself.

Another bloodline in the girl's body seems to be already starting to stir.

"Don't worry." Li Ge smiled and said indifferently: "If something really happens, I will solve everything." ”

Ace suddenly looked at Rieger as well, looking at his calm and indifferent expression, and his face, which had always lacked emotion, unconsciously became much more relaxed.

"I believe in you."

The girl said so, and pressed the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

"Let's go." Rige then said, "Let's go to the 18th floor first." ”

The girl nodded.

So, the two of them walked again in the direction of the entrance and exit that led to the 11th floor, and their steps were much faster than before.

The white fog has been permeating this endless floor, as if something is brewing, and it has never subsided.
