Chapter 24 (1/2)

No one would reject a mission.

Occam and the other two directly accepted the mission.

However, this mission had a time limit.

To find this Mage within three days.

This was because Balter and his group had issued a military order. They only had three days.

However, the three of them did not care.

In any case, it would not be a loss if he could not complete it, even if he might offend these NPCs.

Of course, it would be best if he could complete it.

The rewards for missions were usually not bad.

Balter’s face lit up when the three accepted the task. He handed Jeff the portrait of the Mage.

“I’ll leave this matter to the three of you!”

With that said, he led the soldiers behind him out.

After watching them leave, Annie waved her fists at Occam and his wife.

“We must capture this Mage.”

Then, she opened the forum.

She posted a post.

“The murderer of the unsolved case has been found.”

Then, he put a screenshot of the Mage’s portrait in the post.

Annie wanted to use the players’ power to find the Mage.

It was a smart move.

The gamers were a bunch of energetic creatures.

Especially in a world with such a high degree of freedom, they liked to explore everywhere.

Some players might have seen the Mage.

Indeed.

Not long after, Annie let out a soft cry.

“Ah, someone saw that Mage.”

“Right here in the Scarlet Plain.”

“Let’s hurry over.”

Then, the three of them rushed towards the Scarlet Plain.

…

On the other hand, the Demon Hunter looked at a player beside him.

“Has everything been arranged?”

“It’s been arranged. They’re on their way to the Scarlet Plain,” said the man.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Hunter laughed coldly.

“Linley, this time, you must die. Even that piece of God-grade equipment of yours must be dropped!”

That was right, the three of them headed towards the Scarlet Plain. It was a trap that the Demon Hunters had set up.

Not long ago, the Demon Hunters had reported to the upper echelons of the Epic Guild that Linley might have a piece of God-grade equipment.

And then, he proposed to borrow the piece of God-grade equipment used by Priests to kill Linley and acquire his piece of God-grade equipment.

After a discussion, the leadership of the Epic Guild agreed to his request.

Then, the Demon Hunter saw Annie’s post on the forum.

He had investigated Linley and knew of the relationship between Annie and Linley.

He told his men to tell Annie about the appearance of the Mage in the Scarlet Plain.

Afterwards, he received news that Linley and the others were heading to the Scarlet Plain.

“It’s a pity that you won’t expect the Epic Guild to be waiting for you.”

The Demon Hunter stood atop a boulder, staring intently at the distant Twilight Forest, even more eager for Linley’s arrival.

He waited for about 30 minutes.

The Demon Hunter saw three blurry figures.

Based on the information from the assassins who were following Linley, they were Linley’s group.

He immediately hid behind the stone in case Linley’s group discovered him.

“Is the Mage really here?”

“It doesn’t look like it.”

Hearing the voices, the Demon Hunter grinned.

The fish had taken the bait. It was time to reel in the net.

The next moment, dozens of players from the Epic Guild suddenly appeared and surrounded the three people in front.

The Demon Hunter walked to the front, and his sinister voice sounded.

“Linley, as I said before, hand over the piece of God-grade equipment in your hands.”

“The grudge between us is settled. You can still join the Epic Guild. Otherwise, I’ll kill you every time I see you!”

Occam sat on the spirit deer, resigned.

Why did these people have no memory at all?

“If you want to fight, do it now. Cut the crap. We have things to do.”
