After the three of Qin Lun escaped from the carriage house, they quickly found a secluded corner and changed their outfits.
Before Hill and Rand assisted him in the operation, they had already obtained a few sets of unobtrusive civilian costumes, which happened to come in handy. It's just that Qin Lun hasn't had time to wash it yet, and there is still an unpleasant smell on his body.
They don't know that they have been offered a reward by the Amberley Church, but even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care. They were felons wanted all over the world in the Earth Federation back then, but now they are just a few mercenary guilds in different time and space, and a few murderers said that they have no pressure.
"Qin Lun, have you gained anything from staying in the underground chamber of the Amberley Church for so long?" Hill asked with a smile.
"Well, I took some of the sea goddess's sacrificial property, which is enough for our next adventure." Qin Lun thought of something, took out the mithril staff from the storage space and threw it to Hill, "By the way, we still need it for the next adventure." There is this thing... see if you can use it."
This mithril scepter is a short staff with intricate and delicate magic pattern reliefs on the surface, shining mysteriously in the sunlight. The gem base at the top is a lifelike three-toed animal claw with clear horny texture, which can be called a work of art.
"Magic wand? It seems that the quality is not low." Hill played with the mithril scepter, and put it into the storage space unceremoniously, "I want to study this thing, most of the wands that increase elemental magic, It’s not very useful to me, only some wands with their own magic circles will come in handy.”
"Hill basically doesn't use a staff. He got a legendary magic book some time ago, and that is a good thing." Rand revealed the shepherd's old background.
"Legendary magic book?" Qin Lun looked at the old magic stick with great interest.
"The magic on it is very limited, which is different from what you imagined. I can't use a lot of magic, but the quality of the equipment is relatively high." Hill waved his hand with a wry smile, and changed the topic, "By the way, Qin Lun , we entered the world of Toril with tokens, and Broken Starry Sky didn’t give any quest hints, do you have any clues about those epic plots you participated in?”
Qin Lun thought for a while, then frowned slightly and said: "I first entered the world of Toril in the spring of 1355 in the valley calendar, and it took about two natural months from Jondal's Magic Cup Court to Baldur's Gate. And now it is autumn, and the time and space point has moved back several months. I am afraid that the envoys of the sun elves have reached Yongju Island, and the epic plot of the ancient road has long since ended.
As for the other two epic plots, the silver moon alliance's nation-building mission and the historical plot of Mithral Hall opened by the shield dwarves, the dwarf prince Lorraine and Emily Silverhand should have left Baldur's Gate. I'm afraid we need to go north as soon as possible, to the Silver Moon Alliance in the northern part of the mainland, or even the Spine of the World Mountain Range to receive the mission again. "
"We only have half a month, will we have time?" Rand asked worriedly.
"Silvermoon City is thousands of miles away from Baldur's Gate, and there are many dangerous areas along the way, half a month is definitely not enough." Qin Lun shook his head calmly, "However, the Broken Starry Sky has already reminded us that we have received a new plot After the mission, there is a certain chance that our stay time will increase, before eating a big meal, we can fill our stomachs with some snacks!"
"Mercenary union!" Hill and Rand looked at each other and smiled knowingly, "No wonder we were arranged as human mercenaries by Broken Starry Sky, except for Qin Lun."
(Note: The mercenary union is different from the mercenary guild. The former is a Pangea-based mercenary service organization, while the latter refers to a certain mercenary team.)
"The two of you are not suitable to join the mercenary union. Although you didn't reveal your identities just now, the church of Amberley has already learned about your body shape and ability characteristics. The mercenary union has a lot of people, and there may be eyeliners from the church. Let me go. .” Qin Lun looked at the two of them and said cautiously.
"It's okay, look!" Rand chuckled, and took out two fleshy balls from the storage space.
"Flesh puppet?!" Qin Lun's eyes lit up. This thing is about 10,000 broken crystals. It can change its shape at will under the control of the apostles. Nothing lethal.
"Hehe, I learned this from you in Hunter World." Rand winked.
At the beginning, Qin Lun used the flesh puppet many times to get out of the crisis in the hunter world. At the last moment, he also used the flesh puppet to pretend to be Paconoda and trap Xiaodi, a member of the Phantom Brigade, which impressed Rand deeply.
"Flesh puppets can't eliminate breath, but they can change body shape characteristics, and in such a chaotic environment just now, those people probably can't remember your breath, but it's a good idea to cover up your identity. Just remember that if you run into trouble, don't use the iconic Too strong a skill." Qin Lun thought for a while, and the three of them went to the mercenary union at the same time.
"And you, do you want to have one too?" Rand threw one of the flesh and blood puppets to Hill, and shook the other one at Qin Lun. He obviously prepared more than two flesh and blood puppets.
"No need!" Qin Lun smiled slightly, and pulled out the phantom leather suit from his collar to cover his face. This piece of equipment was originally the swallowtail vest of Green Hunter Black Queen Mira, but Qin Lun pulled it out of the Rubik's Cube.
The phantom spirit skin wriggled and deformed like dough on Qin Lun's head, and the young and unusually handsome elf face gradually became ordinary and ordinary. Even the iconic pointed ears and silver hair were covered up, replaced by short black hair.
The phantom leather suit is of dark gold quality and has only one shape-shifting ability. Of course, unlike the flesh and blood puppet, which can only camouflage creatures, it can be transformed into anything of any texture, and it also has combat transformations, which can be used as cold weapons and light shields.
"Hehe, I'm used to seeing your elf appearance, and I almost can't remember how shabby you were." Rand teased with a chuckle.
"Is it that bad?" Qin Lun couldn't help touching his face. His current face was his real self. Although he wasn't handsome, he wasn't ugly either. At most, he was a little ordinary.
"I think it's better not to go to the mercenary union." Hill held the flesh and blood puppet in his hand, and suddenly frowned. , are all unfamiliar outsiders. If the Church of Amberley wants to find us, it should start with the identity of outsiders first."
"Indeed!" Rand and Qin Lun looked at each other, lost in thought.
"Do you want to, let's go to the Oak Barrel Tavern first. At least the mercenaries there have met us, and under normal circumstances, they don't pay special attention." Rand tried to say, "If you can't go to the mercenary union to pick them up For adventure missions, we can also sneak into other people's mercenary squads."
"Is this the Oak Barrel Tavern?"
The Oak Barrel Tavern is located on the south side of the Baldur's Gate Docklands, on the east side of a tavern street.
This is a typical adventurer tavern with an umbrella-shaped roof covered with red porcelain tiles. There is a masonry chimney on the main roof. It is divided into upper and lower floors. There is a small wine cellar.
Push open the wooden door of the arched doorway, and after entering the house, you need to turn right and pass a short corridor. This design is to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the lobby. For Baldur's Gate, which is located in the Sword Coast, there are humid sea breezes in all seasons, and some seasons are quite cold.
When the three of Qin Lun first entered Toril, it was still at noon. After so much tossing, it was obvious that the sun was setting and it had turned into dusk. The Oak Barrel Tavern was extremely noisy, and most of the guests were the middle and lower classes who came to drink and fart nearby.
Mercenaries, sailors, coolies on the docks, there will be no nobles and lords here, they all drink in high-end consumption places in the inner city.
There was a lot of people in the lobby, a large white wax chandelier was hung on the roof, the room was brightly lit, and there were more than a dozen thick plank tables and square stools. Right behind the room was a seven or eight meter long winter wood bar. Some high wooden stools were also full of people at this time.
On the left side of the lobby is a large burning fireplace, and the crackling sound of firewood can be heard in the firelight. An iron grate was placed in front of the fireplace to prevent some drunks from falling in.
"Hey, come here, are the guests drinking or staying?" Just as the three of them were observing the environment, a plump waitress came over to say hello with a smile.
"Find us an inside table, each with a glass of ale, and a plate of mutton and oil cake." Rand took out a dirty silver coin from his pocket, and flicked it with his fingers.
This is what he and Hill obtained from some gangsters. The Wojin gold coins that Qin Lun got from the Amberley Church are too conspicuous, so they can't be taken out in this kind of place.
The waitress' eyes lit up, and she skillfully caught the silver coin and stuffed it into her apron pocket. For her, one silver coin was worth the tip for several days, and she immediately waved to the three of them with a smile on her face, and at the same time habitually threw a springy wink at Rand who gave her the silver coin.
The waitress led the three of them towards the inside of the tavern, and soon came to a proposal table, but there were already people on this table.
A drunkard with disheveled hair and ragged clothes was sleeping soundly on the wooden table, almost occupying the entire table by himself. Moreover, his body had obviously not been cleaned for many days, and he exuded a sour smell, comparable to Qin Lun half a day ago.
"Aaron, why hasn't this guy been thrown out yet? You don't want to do it anymore, do you?" The plump waitress immediately raised her eyebrows when she saw the drunkard, and shouted at a male waiter behind the lobby.
"Yes, elder sister!" The young waiter was obviously a little scared of the waitress, and greeted another big waiter in a low voice, and together they picked up this drunken drunkard, trying to drag him out.
"You... what are you doing..." The drunkard struggled impatiently, muttering fragmentary words in his mouth.
"Hey, wait!" Qin Lun, who had already walked to the table and sat down, frowned suddenly. The voice of this drunkard made him feel a little familiar.
Qin Lun stood up, walked up to the alcoholic who was held up by two male waiters, grabbed his messy hair and made him raise his head.
"This guy seems to be..." Seeing the drunkard's face clearly, Qin Lun couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and suddenly said with a smile in the team channel, "It seems that Xingkong still attaches great importance to us. A clue to a plot mission."
