"Boaz?"

Hines thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't have any impression, maybe it's the warrior monks of the Immortal Bird Monastery or something, you know, they generally live on Mount Athos."

He explained to Martin.

The time had come to the next day, and last night, after the man who called himself "Boaz" had left through the vines, Martin and the others had decided to leave the manor as he had said.

They compared what Boaz had said with Henry, and pondered the possibility that Boaz had deceived them, and finally decided to believe him first.

After all, with the strength he had shown through the vines at that time, it should not be difficult to solve the three Martins, but he left in a hurry, as if he was hiding from something.

After leaving the manor, Salomon found that his private carriage, which was supposed to be waiting for him at the door, was missing, and he probably left in fright when he heard the movement from the manor.

Fortunately, the butler Inke led the three of them to the family carriage in the manor, and finally Eddie drove the carriage back to the city of Cavides.

Of the several people, only Eddie had experience driving a carriage, but judging from her later performance, she probably didn't drive it a few times.

When Martin and the others descended from the second floor of the villa, they found that all the vines outside had disappeared at some point, leaving only the badly damaged floors and walls and many corpses of servants, most of whom were only stumps and severed arms and blood on the ground.

As they left, they searched for survivors as much as they could, but they found nothing, and only old Inke who was with them was probably left alive in the entire manor.

After returning to the Sunflower Carriage and staying overnight at a high-end hotel affiliated with the auction house, Salomon led them to report the commission to the "middlemen" of the Shepherds' Club the next morning.

The "middleman" is the person in the club who is responsible for receiving, reviewing and distributing all kinds of "wool" tasks, and the old Susie that Martin saw in the fetal bed hall is one of them.

There were also Wiesel Fodot and Fennier Dorton, whose names and signatures were recorded on the "chaste parchment" and which were themselves "intermediaries".

Different intermediaries may be responsible for different matters and areas of expertise, Shirley said that Susie was a very powerful shepherd when she was young, and when she was old, she became a middleman who specialized in collecting and receiving bounty tasks through the connections she had accumulated in her youth.

It's just that I don't know why, the probability of accidents in the tasks signed by her is much higher than that of other intermediaries.

Some of these accidents brought unexpected benefits, but more often than not, unforeseen dangers, so few shepherds were willing to take her commission.

Shirley sighed softly at this time, that is, a madman like Eddie would let Martin take on Susie's mission for the first time.

Martin only then knew that Eddie had cheated herself, but with her personality, she probably didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

Thinking that she thought that there would be no problems with taking on a burial mission, at least it would not involve such a thing as catching rape or stealing a corpse that sounded weird, and Shirley also specially found a [mortuary] for herself to help.

But I didn't expect to see so many things happen behind the ordinary burial mission, and in the end, the corpse that needed to be buried was gone, and the client who issued the mission fled, and he also got involved with the weird [Rose Society].

Before reporting to the intermediary, Martin already felt that he should not be able to get the bounty this time, and the big house he had been thinking about was close in front of him, but it was gone in the blink of an eye.

To Martin's surprise, Mr. Hines was among the people they reported.

He originally planned to visit after the mission was over, but he left too suddenly yesterday, and he didn't expect to meet him here.

Hines nodded slightly when he saw him, and then asked a few other intermediaries about what had happened.

After checking the two genesis cards of [Black Raven's Curse] and [Mother Goddess Corpse Fragment 01 - Forbidden Conception] brought back by Martin, combined with the club's investigation of the manor site, several intermediaries basically believed the words of the three.

Especially the previous "Libra" card, which has reached the V level, there is no need for several people to lie about the failure of a mission.

The two genesis cards were returned to Martin after they had been checked, as an additional gain from their mission and did not need to be given to the club.

This is probably also the "unexpected benefit" that Shirley said Susie's mission would bring.

This incident also alarmed the Church of the Light and the Finglan Field Police Department, all the servants of a manor were brutally killed, and it also involved the [Rose Cross Society], which had disappeared for many years, everyone could see that this matter was not simple.

After explaining everything, Martin asked the intermediary about the origin of the man who called himself "Boaz", and he assumed that the man was the old Sir and that the "Goode" family was probably his disguise.

It is a pity that no intermediary has ever heard of this name, and neither has Hines.

After the debriefing, Martin, Salomon and Eddie walked out of the Sunflower Carriage and onto the street at the door.

He had wanted to visit Hines and ask him about his doubts during the mission, but Hines apologized to Martin and told him that he might not be available today and asked him to come back tomorrow.

Since joining the Shepherds' Club, Hines seems to be very busy, and Martin can feel the exhaustion that has accumulated in him, but he can only tell the old gentleman to take a rest.

However, despite being very busy, Hines also insisted that it was better to have the two genesis cards in the [Sunflower Carriage] or entrust them to be auctioned here, and putting them on himself would bring disaster.

Martin then followed Hines's words and deposited the two genesis cards in the Sunflower Carriage's "Safe Haven" vault.

The process of storing the cards is very smooth, and many shepherds will go to the "safe haven" to temporarily store the items obtained in the mission after completing the task, or directly entrust the items to the [Sunflower Carriage] to sell, because they are insiders, and the auction house only charges a symbolic fee for the handling fee on the shepherd's side.

Walking through the door carved with sunflowers, Martin thanked Salomon and promised to give him a portion of the bounty if he received it.

As for Add, he just wants to stay away from this crazy woman now, and then go on a mission with this woman who has completed the task by luck, and maybe he will be killed by the trap one time.

What Martin said to Salomon was his true thoughts, if it was just a burial mission, then Salomon's free help was acceptable, and he just owed Shirley a favor, but there were too many variables in this mission, and the danger increased more than a little.

Even the middleman upgraded the quality of the quest from the "White Wool" level of 20 quality to the "Gray Wool" level of 50 quality counts.

This is the top grid of gray wool, and if it exceeds 50 quality counts, it will become the "Silver Wool" task, which was originally the task of those shepherds on the second floor.

Perhaps considering the impact of the task and the uncertainty of the current results, this few intermediaries did not modify the quality of the task too harshly.

In the face of Martin's sincere gratitude, Salomon did not accept his offer, but only said that he did not become a shepherd for the bounty, and that he did not lack this part of the money.

Thinking about what he was wearing and the somewhat luxurious private carriage, Martin couldn't help but lament that the end of his struggle might be the starting point for Salomon, which made him a little frustrated.

After all, he still has a huge debt to the [Sunflower Carriage].

"If you have any bounty quests and need companions, you can write to me, I live at 113 Charlie Cross."

Salomon put on his gentleman's hat and spoke to Martin before leaving.

"Of course, the bounty will be distributed normally for the next mission."

Salomon smiled and left Martin and Eddie and walked into the misty streets of the early morning.

"I don't have to share the bounty anymore, what is good is what is good."

Eddie watched Salomon leave, turned to Martin with a smile.

"I wasn't going to give you ...... in the first place."

Martin was guilty of slander.

Add had now changed back to her old outfit, an old buckskin hat, supple chestnut hair, gray-black plaid skirt, and a pair of black boots, which made her look taller, though still only up to Martin's chest.

But looking at the dress, I can't imagine that this petite girl is a "savior" and an old gambler who wanders the casino.

"I had a lot of fun this time, well... Overall, I think you're pretty good, newbie. ”

Add looked at Martin with wide eyes, and his voice unconsciously carried the lazy maturity taste of before.

"Is this an endorsement... Compared to me, how do I think you're a newbie......"

Martin continued to slander in his heart, and Eddie continued:

"So I think you can complete the rest of the tasks yourself, and I'm going to go to Plesch to get my pay."

Add smiled at the completion of the mission, and then her expression began to enrich, as if she was immersed in some beautiful fantasy, and she continued:

"After receiving the payment, I'll go to the [Midnight Round Table] to have a few handfuls, and I can rub Bailey's heavy breasts, that's really fascinating..."

She said this to herself, not caring about Martin next to her.

Martin tried to hold his forehead, but he didn't quite understand why Plesches had hired such a person for him to be in charge of the orientation.

"That's it, newbie, if you need someone to earn a bounty together, you can come to the [Midnight Roundtable] to find me. Well... It's best not to give me the [mortuary] just now, he's too boring. ”

With that, Add winked at Martin, pressed her buckskin hat again, and disappeared into the morning mist.

After Eddie leaves, Martin arrives at the platform of the public railcar, intending to take the carriage back to the Mercury Fountain.

He needs to prepare some more [Lava Kiss], and thanks to this potion, he can also feel that compared to the [Undertaker] and [Gambler], who are also third-order, the [Alchemy Dog] has the help of the potion, and its mobility, attack ability, and even self-protection ability are more powerful.

While waiting for the carriage, Martin took out a ring made of silver from his lined pocket.

This was taken by Eddie from Henry when he fell asleep under the influence of Requiem, and she then gave it to Martin as a reward for saving her.

According to Add, her luck today has been used up against the reawakened "Henry", and such valuables will only increase her bad luck, so she can't keep it.

Martin was still under the influence of the [Identity Theft] mask, and he had to steal someone else's item, so Martin took it.

Although he was a little unsure if it was his "stealing", the mask on his face had not changed badly so far.

According to Add, Henry held the ring tightly in the palm of her hand before she fell unconscious, and she spotted it as soon as she crouched down to check on the situation, and then she was pinched by "Henry" who had reawakened.

Martin looked at the somewhat simple silver ring, which looked nothing special on its surface except for a black gem set at the top of the outer ring, which was carved in the shape of a miniature fortress.

Henry didn't even want to hold it in his palm before he fell unconscious, it seemed that he wanted to save himself through this ring, but he didn't know what was so special about it.

Martin took a closer look, and found a name engraved on the inner ring of the ring.

He whispered the name.

"Grey Castle".
