Chapter 47: I'm a middleman...
Intelligence 1: Merchant Michel is considering hiring the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group to handle this matter. It is a mercenary group with the Rhine Empire's royal family background and an extremely domineering style. Once Holy Stone City becomes their target, all the secrets of Holy Stone City will be discovered by the Rhine royal family!
Intelligence 2: The second wave of players arrived at the city gate after Wang Gou Dan accidentally leaked the information.
Intelligence 3: Players from the Northern Empire have received a mission to contact Knight Peter and are on their way. There is a clear difference in the factions between the Northern and Southern players, so please proceed with caution!
Intelligence 4: The remnants of the Heart of the Forest have re-established contact with [Loves to Eat Cabbage]. Be careful, as they may gain even greater power!
Intelligence 5: Lady Eliza's child will be born in fifteen days. Please pay attention to the time!
"Holy crap..."
I knew that Gou Dan was up to something!
As Bright looked at the new intelligence, he felt like his head was about to explode. Why were there one new problem after another?
Michelle seemed to have anticipated that Allen might not be able to resolve the situation here. If he couldn't persuade Allen in his trip to Mirandil this time, then Allen would resort to this violent method to throw Holy Stone City into chaos.
Judging from Intelligence 2, there should be quite a few players like Gou Dan. Judging from Gou Dan's anxious appearance just now, I wonder what kind of people his fellow villagers are? Right now, I'm short of manpower, and the best helpers are players like Gou Dan. Of course, the premise is that their identities are as clean as Gou Dan's and they don't represent any other forces.
Intelligence 3 is more troublesome; is it a Northern Empire player?
I should have realized that if a large number of players flood into this world, they will definitely be divided into factions based on the power of the continent map. If there are players from the Rhine Empire, there will naturally be players from the Northern Empire. If the Northern Empire receives a mission from that Duke, doesn't that mean that a group of fearless spies will soon appear in Holy Stone City?
This is troublesome. Unless the city gates are permanently closed, it will be difficult to prevent players from sneaking in. However, I am not afraid because I can see the players' names and health bars!
The problem is that I have to leave soon, what should I do?
Intelligence 4 is also a big problem. Love to eat cabbage is a level 80 expert. We need to find a way to contact her so that she can't continue to be an accomplice of the Heart of the Forest. However, how to contact her is a problem. After that night, Bright also tried to sneak into the forest again, but in the same place, he could no longer hear the voice of that fellow villager from Liupanshui.
Finally, there's intelligence 5...
Damn, how come these children with superhuman powers are born so quickly?
If a child born in Milandil were to possess such extraordinary power shrouded in shadow, would it raise suspicion?
Just to be on the safe side, he had to deliver the baby himself, but Brett felt something was off. Was Eliza's child his own?
You might say it doesn't count, since the source is your own; you might say it does, since there seem to be quite a few magazines mixed in...
Well, let's just take it one step at a time...
---------------------------------------
"Dog Egg...not bad, huh!"
The gatekeepers at the south gate of the city bowed respectfully to Gou Dan, and with Gou Dan's guarantee, the entry of the three outsiders was confirmed!
Li Gou Dan gritted his teeth, his eyes seeming as if he wished he could tear a piece of Gou Dan's flesh off.
Wang Gou Dan was speechless, not understanding why the other party was so careless. Although he knew it was a bit dishonest to conceal the mission location... what a load of rubbish!
Why shouldn't I hide it? I, Dog Egg, risked everything to find it! Why should I tell you? I'm not stupid. When you're reaping the benefits, do you expect me to get a share?
Thinking of this, Wang Gou Dan glared back fiercely: "How I am is none of your business!"
Li Gou Dan was furious. They were all called Gou Dan, and he couldn't even bear to change his shoes when they were worn out, while this guy had become someone the gatekeeper had to call "sir"!
We're all from the same global village, so your success makes me look like a piece of dog shit.
"Eating alone isn't a good habit," Li Gou Dan said with a half-smile. "We're from the same place, after all. Now that you've made it big, aren't you going to lend a hand to your fellow townsman? Aren't you afraid of being scorned?"
"Tch, haven't you been hogging the spoils a few times?" Wang Gou Dan retorted rudely. "Tasks are all about skill. You guys supporting the Rain Maiden had nothing to do with it back then, but did you agree when I said I'd get a share?"
Li Gou Dan choked for a moment. He had indeed rejected her harshly back then, but to be honest, he should have let her invest in the company. It seemed that Yu Nu's investment was a bad deal. Five years of investment, and now it looked like it was going to go down the drain. It was painful to think about.
"Don't be angry, Sister Gou Dan..." The girl with glasses immediately stopped Li Gou Dan, who was about to argue. Since she had come to ask for help, she couldn't be too aggressive. If she just threatened him, she wouldn't achieve her goal. In her memory, Wang Gou Dan was the kind of guy who would listen to soft words but not hard ones.
"As you know, the two of them have been under a lot of pressure investing in me over the years. I was stuck at the graduation stage for two whole years and was almost on the verge of dropping out. If things continued like this, I would have lost everything. It was wrong of us to refuse your investment back then. Please forgive us, Sister Gou Dan."
Wang Gou Dan curled her lips slightly. To be honest, she was very glad that she hadn't invested back then, otherwise she would have ended up like those two guys. Li Gou Dan's ability to take on tasks was no worse than hers, but what kind of life did he live every day? He couldn't bear to change his shoes even though three toes were sticking out, and he couldn't even bear to drink a cup of hot coffee every day. It was even more of a sin than when her parents sent her to a private elementary school.
What angered her was Li Gou Dan's attitude in preventing her from joining back then.
Dog Egg doesn't have much of a problem with Rain Woman. He remembers once he was arrested and almost went to jail. For players, going to jail is like restarting the game. Who wants to waste time in jail?
It was the other party who applied for legal aid, helping him defend himself and avoid punishment. Gou Dan will always remember this kindness.
But gratitude is gratitude, and profit is profit; if possible, Gou Dan would still prefer to keep it all to himself...
"Sister Gou Dan..." Rain Woman laughed, "I know you're unwilling, but we've already found our way here. If you don't want more players to come here, you have to help us out, right?"
Wang Gou Dan gritted his teeth. This four-eyed girl was so clever; she had immediately hit the nail on the head.
"The situation in Holy Stone City is very dangerous right now. Don't be fooled by how much I'm getting now; if I'm not careful, everything will be for nothing."
"Well, at least there's something to look forward to, isn't there?" Rain Woman spread her hands. "I have no hope left in the academy."
"Alright..." Wang Gou Dan took a breath, pointed north, and said, "Go this way, there's a crematorium with a corpse collector inside. He's the most important NPC in Holy Stone City. Whether you get the quest or not, I'm not responsible!"
"A corpse collector? A cremator?" Li Gou Dan was taken aback. "You didn't just point us out someone randomly, did you?"
"Believe it or not..." Dog Egg turned around: "I'm going to sleep. We have to travel back to Milandir tomorrow morning. You don't have much time left, so I advise you to hurry!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Damn, this looks like a refugee camp. Is Dog Egg going to screw us over?"
"What's so strange about that?" Wang Ye, who was usually taciturn, said sullenly, "Which city's crematorium isn't located in a refugee area?"
Upon hearing this, Li Gou Dan glared at Wang Ye, puffed out his cheeks, and seemed to be angry about something.
Looking at Wang Ye's sullen appearance, Yu Nu sighed helplessly. This taciturn man was impossible to read. What was the underlying reason that Li Gou Dan was targeting Wang Gou Dan?
Wang Gou Dan didn't seem to be lying. The situation in Holy Stone City must be very serious now. This was the first time she had seen the refugee area so strict. There were security guards checking people everywhere, comparable to the severity of the noble district. If Wang Gou Dan hadn't called a warrior to guide them, the three of them might not have been able to sneak in.
"That's the Burnthouse; Mr. Bright is inside," the samurai said, pointing to the house on the upper floor.
gentlemen?
The three were taken aback. What right did a corpse collector have to be called that? They remembered that in Milan, this profession was not even as prestigious as a night soil collector.
With trepidation, the three cautiously approached the burnt-down house. Wang Ye stepped forward and knocked on the door politely, saying, "Is Mr. Bright in?"
"Come in, the door's unlocked."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye pushed open the door, and the three of them cautiously walked inside. Following the sound, they found Bright in the incinerator. Bright was working diligently, dissecting one corpse after another, which almost made Li Gou Dan vomit.
When Bright looked up, he saw three figures with health bars and names on their heads.
Oh... my mobile experience pack has finally arrived.
"Oh, a guest from afar? May I ask what brings you here?" Bright asked while continuing his dissection, without stopping his work.
Rain Woman stepped forward, suppressing her nausea, and bowed, saying, "Mr. Bright, we were recommended by Knight Kailan. We heard that... we can get some opportunities to make money here."
Is that what Gou Dan said?
Bright was taken aback, but his expression remained largely unchanged. He frowned slightly and said, "Kailan's friend? Hmm, she's an excellent executor, and now a highly respected knight in Holy Stone City..."
Has he really become a knight?
Even Rain Girl felt a little sour at this moment. She worked hard to get her law degree, sleeping no more than four hours a day, working as hard as a horse, but the bachelor's degree was still far away from her. Meanwhile, Dog Egg not only ate and drank well every day, but also became a knight after just one takeout order.
According to the rules, the three of them, being unregistered residents, had to kneel and bow when they met her. In the north, they were even told they had to kiss her toes.
"Since she recommended you, the three of you must be very talented, and you have a good relationship with her?"
"Of course!" Li Gou Dan was the first to speak: "We're brothers who grew up wearing the same pair of pants!"
Wang Ye: "......"
"I need to know your strengths and backgrounds so I can recommend suitable tasks to you."
"Introduce the mission?" The three were taken aback, as it was the first time they had heard this term.
"Oh, by the way, did Kaylan tell you?" Bright removed his autopsy gloves, squinting as he said, "I'm a cadaver and a middleman. For every job I introduce, I get 20% of all the rewards, including experience points!"
The three of them: "........"
