An Fei and Chris looked at each other and asked in surprise: "What task?" According to common sense, An Fei should have the final say on what tasks the team takes on. Susanna can make suggestions, but she cannot make the decision without authorization. It can be said that Susanna's next task is somewhat special, or there is a reason why she must do it.
"Someone is buying seven-winged magic flies in large quantities, and the price is very high. I grabbed a task, and I need to kill fifty seven-winged magic flies."
An Fei was stunned. There was nothing special about this mission. He couldn't figure out why Susanna took the mission.
Susanna saw that An Fei and Chris were looking at her with strange eyes. She hesitated and said, "An Fei, this can't go on anymore. What do you think everyone is doing all day long? Besides practicing magic. , always flirting with those girls, or hanging out in pairs, if this continues, morale will be lost!"
An Fei fell silent. What Susanna said was true. Of course, not everyone was relaxed. Riska, Bravi and others were still working very hard. However, some people lived a happy life because they lacked the perseverance to control themselves. .
"An Fei, don't blame me for making my own decisions. I've mentioned it to you several times, but you just don't pay attention to my opinion! You are busy during the day and at night, and are never in the hotel, so you can't see that the situation is already serious. If you don’t believe it, ask Chris!” Susanna said softly.
"Suzanne is not exaggerating." Chris smiled bitterly: "But that is a personal matter, and it is not good for us to interfere."
"Actually, this is also a good thing." An Fei said slowly: "At least it allows us to know how far everyone in the team can go on the road of magic, or how far they hope to go."
Hard work is the most important basic lesson for success. After An Fei first came to this world, except for sleeping time, he was doing arduous physical training and martial arts foundation building. He followed Thor to the Holy City, and then An Fei spent almost all his time learning magic or reading magic books and embarked on the road of escape. An Fei even squeezed his sleep time to an average of about three hours a day. Compared with the level of hard work, no one in the team Comparable to An Fei.
Chris, Bravi and others also work very hard, but as the saying goes: a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the sons are different. Although they learn magic from the same teacher, everyone's character is different. Some people can endure hardship and loneliness, while others find it difficult to be strict with themselves. Therefore, there are six or seven people in the world. There are high-level magicians who are ten years old, and there are great magicians who are about fifty years old. Talent does account for a large proportion here, but talent does not play a decisive role!
"It's good that you didn't blame me." Susanna breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, if you don't do this, we should leave Baishan City temporarily." An Fei smiled and said, "Let Chris tell you."
"ah?"
"Suzanne, I visited the Brotherhood Alliance Mercenary Group and wanted to place those women with them, but they politely refused in the end. They said that the recent situation was very tense and they could not allocate manpower to take care of those women."
"The Brothers Alliance Mercenary Group has thousands of mercenaries, but they can't take care of dozens of women?" Susanna asked rhetorically.
"Perhaps the identity of the female slaves in the Mao Empire is a bit sensitive, and they don't want to express their position too early." An Fei smiled: "Or else there are differences within their group. Entos is the teacher's student. He can return to the country. Those who work for the teacher are naturally on the side of the Mao Empire, but within their group... there may be people who took advantage of Entos not being in the group to put forward opposite opinions and try their best to distance themselves from the Mao Empire."
"Boring!" Susanna said bitterly.
"However, they rented a small town to us." Chris smiled: "Suzanne, An Fei and I are discussing when to go to the small town."
"What's the name of the town? How much is the rent?"
"The name of the town is Mora March. We signed a three-year contract. The annual rent is one hundred gold coins. We have already paid for one year."
"Most of the small towns in the mercenary country are desolate. They are just inns for caravans and mercenaries. They don't have much population. How much tax can we collect?" Susanna smiled bitterly: "We will pay for this business. ”
"Just pay it, I didn't intend to make any money."
Susanna couldn't help but roll her eyes at An Fei. She knew that An Fei was rich, but it was all the savings of the great magician Thor, but An Fei behaved like a prodigal...
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and then Black Eleven strode in.
"Is there a happy event?" An Fei showed a half-smiling look.
"Ah?" Black Eleven was stunned, and stretched out his hand to touch his face: "How do you know? I'm not the kind of person who shows my emotions on my face, am I?"
"Emotions can't only be shown on your face. Your walking speed is faster than before, and your steps are also brisker than before, so I guess you have something urgent, and it may be a happy event."
"Every time before I see you, I tell myself to be cautious and natural, but you always find ways to undermine my self-confidence. I really doubt whether we were enemies before." Black Eleven shook his head helplessly: "You guys Didn’t you hear anything?”
"What's the news?" Chris asked in surprise.
"Several things happened. Let me start from the beginning." Black Eleven sat down and coughed a few times: "Erlanga was killed!"
"Will such a small thing alarm you?" An Fei asked.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, An Fei, it's very impolite to interrupt others!" Black Eleven said dissatisfied. At first, his impression of An Fei and others was not good, thinking that they were just a group of children who caused trouble and ran away. However, as time went by, he saw different highlights in the 'children' that he admired. What shocked him the most was An Fei's wit. He had received an order to cooperate with An Fei. In fact, this meant that he was asked to be An Fei's deputy. Subconsciously, he was using an equal eye. Observing the people in the team, that's why now he talks to An Fei in this natural tone, instead of putting on the cold face every word.
"Say what you want."
"Do you know who the murderer is?"
"How do we know!" An Fei curled his lips.
"The murderer is a woman!" Black Eleven glanced at Susanna: "Suzanne, please don't go out on the streets in the near future. The patrol team is hunting for that mysterious woman everywhere. You are a high-level swordsman, and you are a stranger. It would easily arouse the suspicion of the patrol.”
"Ah?" An Fei was stunned, and after a moment he asked, "How do you know the murderer is a woman?"
"Xinong said it." Black Eleven said with a smile: "Xinong, don't you know? He is a person who was tricked by Erlanga. He said that one day he was ready to die, but a voice sounded very strange. A masked woman who was crisp and smelled like powder saved him. The masked woman asked him for a copper coin and said that she had accepted Xinong's employment. As a result, Erlanga was killed the next day. Oh! Haha...that woman also has a famous nickname, Judge!"
"I doubt how you did things before!" An Fei shook his head.
"what do you mean?"
"For example, someone has tricked you, and you want to take revenge, but you are powerless. Finally one day you meet someone who can help you, and he takes the initiative to avenge you. Will you show his appearance, What if his identity spreads and he is wanted by the mercenary guild and patrol team?"
"I...of course not." Black Eleven smiled bitterly.
"Neither can Xinong! I think Xinong keeps saying that the person's voice is very clear, so the real murderer must have a hoarse voice. And Xinong said that the person is a woman, I think it must be a man!" An Fei A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xinong is very thoughtful!"
Black Eleven's face was a little red. He was really wronged by An Fei because of this incident. After getting the news that Erlanga was killed, he got other important news one after another, and then Now that I'm here, where do I have time to think carefully about meaningless ordinary people? Otherwise, based on his experience, it is not difficult to find the clues.
"I think what An Fei said makes sense." Susanna smiled and said, "How is that Xinong doing now?"
"At first he was arrested by the patrol, but he immediately retorted, saying that he met the woman in his sleep. He refused to admit that he hired a murderer. He just told everyone about a dream, and the patrol did not think about it. Xinong, and they don’t have much evidence. They can’t judge Xinong based on his dreams, right? I heard that he was released after a long trial.” Black Eleven said slowly: “Erlanga’s death was just It was a small matter, but the Fenglei Mercenary Group finally took action. They claimed that Erlanga was not killed in revenge. They were responsible for the safety of Erlanga's home and the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. It was said that the security was very tight. , even a high-level swordsman can't hurt Erlanga, so they believe that Erlanga must have died due to the conspiracy of other mercenary groups, and now they should have started to dispatch mercenaries to Baishan City."
"I wanted to ask you yesterday, what is the main business of Yunhai Chamber of Commerce?"
"Weapons and magic crystals. In terms of the amount of magic crystals stored, Yunhai Chamber of Commerce is not the largest, but in terms of weapons management, Yunhai Chamber of Commerce has more than 60% of the sales volume of the entire Baishan City."
"I understand, it's better to keep some things in your own hands." An Fei said something mindless.
