[Commission: Please help me find my grandfather's sword. 】
Zuo Chang stood in front of a luxurious villa and looked at the order form in his hand again.
This is a found object commission.
The Mullen family is a fairly well-known family in Little Mascus. They mainly engage in the leather armor business and have a small fortune.
Old Maren used to be an exorcist, but now the whole family is focusing on business and is out of the sea of misery.
Zuo Chang knocked on the door and explained his intention.
Butler Malen quickly took Zuo Chang and saw a young man who looked to be in his twenties in the study.
The young man was very attentive.
With a smile, he took the initiative to shake Zuo Chang's hand: "Hello, Your Excellency! I am Twain Mullen."
Twain Mullen.
Grandson of old Mullen.
Zuo Chang showed his Exorcist badge and said, "Mr. Twain, I accepted your request for a reward. I'm here now to verify the situation with you - do you still need help?"
Twain nodded: "Yes, I still need it. The commission location is deep in the Blood Mist Ridge. That place is extremely dangerous now. No exorcist dares to approach it... I am ashamed to say that the guild has suggested that I increase the commission reward several times, but My grandfather disagreed. He believed that the ‘Witchcraft Style’ was a rare and good skill stone that was enough to pay for it.”
Zuo Chang nodded simply: "Your grandfather knew the goods, and so do I."
When Twain Mullen heard this, he thought——
No feelings.
As a pure businessman, he has little feeling for adventure and exorcists, and even has some contempt for them.
Those words before were just casual remarks.
Increase delegation rewards?
Come on, what's the value of that broken sword? Is it worth paying a lot of money to get it back?
Might as well open another shop!
Zuo Chang intends to accept the commission, whether it succeeds or fails, it doesn't matter even if he dies in Blood Mist Ridge, Twain Mullen just hopes that his blood will not splash on his shoes.
"Bang!"
During the exchange, the door to the study room suddenly opened.
An old man with white hair strode forward and looked around the room. His eyes quickly focused on Zuo Chang's face, and he praised for no reason: "You are so powerful, you are such a good young man!"
"??"
Who are you?
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Twain immediately stood up.
"Grandpa" glanced at Twain with disdain and said, "I heard that an exorcist has taken over my commission, so I came here to have a look. Young man, are you that exorcist?"
Zuo Chang nodded: "My name is Zuo Chang."
"Strange name. But it doesn't matter, I can see your courage is shining brightly. For many years, Blood Mist Ridge has been a desperate situation that everyone has avoided. You are willing to take on this task. You are very courageous! Ready. Are you ready? Let’s go!”
Zuo Chang frowned.
The moment the old man appeared in front of him, a reminder suddenly appeared in front of him:
[You seem to have touched the truth...]
Strange hint.
There is no other information.
If you touch the truth, what kind of truth is it?
Zuo Chang didn't know why, so he just remained silent.
What he doesn't know is...
All players participating in the championship battle have received the same message at this moment:
[Someone has touched the thread of fate. 】
at the same time.
A 'coordinate' appears in the perception of all participants.
The location of the coordinates is in the city of Little Mascus.
Lu Zheng was slightly startled, and unexpectedly found that the coordinates were right next to him!
"Brother Lu Zheng...do you feel anything?"
A girl held a staff and asked.
This person is——
Bunny girl!
For some reason, Bunny Girl appears in the battle for the title, and she looks like she was brought there by Lu Zheng.
In addition to the bunny girl, there were three other people around Lu Zheng.
Those three people have powerful auras. Although they are all in the Seventh Realm, their temperament and aura are far beyond ordinary people. They are obviously strong.
A muscular man said: "Do you feel it? An exposed coordinate."
Another woman who wrapped herself in a black cloak said: "This coordinate is not exposed actively. I can feel the faint 'power of god'. This is the handiwork of the gods. If nothing happens...this It could very well be the mechanics of a 'fight for the title'. Someone triggered a hidden mechanism."
The last dwarf laughed strangely: "Interesting! Interesting! The battle for the title can be regarded as a time-honored event. I didn't expect anyone to come up with new tricks... Brother Lu Zheng, shall we go and have a look?"
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Let's go!"
A group of five people began to move.
Along the way, they met the rest of the group of participants. A group of "outsiders" understood each other tacitly, did not have any confrontation with each other, and went to the location of the coordinates in a tacit understanding.
When he arrived at the place, Lu Zheng raised his eyes and saw——
Um?
Who is that?
In front of the gate of Mullen's house, there was a young man with a vague face standing side by side with an old man with a hair full of silver needles, chatting about something.
Lu Zheng stared carefully, thinking that he did not know this person, but he felt inexplicably familiar.
The same feeling emerged in the bunny girl's heart.
With some confusion, she said: "Brother Lu... I seem to have seen that person, but I can't remember who he is."
who's that person?
That person was none other than Zuo Chang.
It was absolutely impossible for Lu Zheng and Bunny Girl not to recognize Zuo Chang. After all, Zuo Chang did not make any cover-up.
only--
Under the intervention of some kind of force, Lu Zheng's eyes seemed to be filled with a mosaic of Zuo Chang, and his appearance had changed to a great extent.
Lu Zheng watched from a distance, unable to grasp the current situation.
What to do next?
What is the purpose of the god exposing the coordinates of the person in front of him?
Does he want the participants to protect him?
still……
Let the participants hunt him?
The strong man thought for a moment, and then said: "You can't act rashly. The God's intention is unclear, and the message is also unclear. I think it's better not to take action for the time being."
The cloaked woman also said: "Captain Lu Zheng, my opinion is the same. The conditions for winning the title battle should not have changed. It is still necessary to lead the team to defeat the 'devil'... Right now, this should be a 'maybe very important' 's side missions, the top priority is to focus on the main plot. If we win the main plot, we will be the 'Champion Brave'."
indeed so!
The sudden reminder and the inexplicably exposed coordinates may point to an important "side plot".
but.
The battle for the title is about the main line.
Everyone's goal is clear - first be promoted to the senior exorcist team, and then defeat the demons in Blood Mist Ridge.
The rest are minutiae.
Spending energy on the person in front of you is not what a wise person does.
Help him?
What can you get by helping him?
Kill him?
Will you be punished for killing him?
The information is hidden behind the scenes and no one knows the answers.
Now is the time to race against time, as there are only seven remaining spots in the "Advanced Exorcist Team". There are usually twenty players in the championship competition.
Lu Zheng said immediately: "Let's go. The top priority should be to get more exorcism points."
Readers, I have too many ideas and worries!
Writing is like constipation, so painful!
Next update, coming soon!
