Chapter 66 (1/2)
Suddenly rushed into the man. He was tall and powerful. Although his armor was worn, it was well maintained. It can also be seen that its owner was a real warrior with strength.
Owen was very surprised and said, ”Captain Locke? Enough money?”
”Yes, here are 95 gold coins, a total of ten healing potions, right?”
The man named Locke threw his money bag on the table with a painful look on his face.
Owen began to order some gold coins.
Locke looked at Donne curiously. He couldn't see anything from Donne. He was wearing untimely, slightly rustic clothes. He didn't wear weapons. He wasn't an apocalypse, nor did he wear a mage's robe, let alone a mage. Was he an alchemist? Ordinary people should not come to such shops.
Being looked at by Locke, Donne had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, as if he had been despised again.
”Hello, my name is Locke, the head of the cross rose mercenary regiment.”
Locke thought that Donne might be an alchemist apprentice, so he planned to meet him.
Rose, rose again, golden rose family, cross rose mercenary regiment, why can't prandar people live with rose? Isn't the gun rose mercenary regiment nice? Isn't the thorn corolla more sensitive?
Donne's art of naming prandals has reached despair.
”Donne.”
”What's Mr. Dunn doing here? You don't look like an adventurer.”
”Buy some materials.”
Locke's eyes lit up and he was indeed an alchemist apprentice!
So he became more enthusiastic: ”Mr. Donne is learning alchemy? We cross rose welcome alchemists to join us very much. Do you have this intention? It's just around the corner to become an adventurer, explore relics, look for treasures, join us, make a lot of money and become an aristocrat!”
”Sorry, I'm not interested.”
Donne shook his head. In fact, he was going to leave.
”Really, that's a pity, but if you change your mind, the door of the cross rose mercenary regiment will be open to you at any time.”
Locke was not discouraged. It would be easier to attract alchemists to surprise him.
”After counting, 95 gold coins are right.”
Owen put away his wallet and took out the box of healing potions just now and handed it to Locke again: ”put it away. Master Howard only gave me so ten this month... But speaking of it, you were reluctant to use the healing potions before. Why are you suddenly willing to buy them this time?”
”Of course it's because of this mission.”
Locke beamed and said, ”you should have heard that little girls are often missing in castle caspami recently. The villagers nearby dare not let their children go out. Even the nobles are a little afraid, so they jointly funded and issued a task to trace the culprit of this matter. If anyone can solve this matter, he can get a full reward of 2000 gold coins!”
Donne, who was just about to leave, gave a meal and pricked his ears.
Little girl missing?
Not that he was too conspiracy theory, he almost subconsciously thought of Ogg's greedy eyes on Elia.
But Elia hasn't moved yet.
”Two thousand gold coins!”
Owen was surprised: ”haven't the mercenary guild appeared for a long time for such a big task?”
”Yes, and not only this one, but also another task. The reward is amazing. It's a high-level task for a necromancer wanted. The reward is full of 5000 gold coins, but it's a long way to the south. After completing this task, we'll go there.”
Locke laughed and said, ”with these therapeutic potions, we have a much higher grasp of completing the task.”
Donne turned around again and asked, ”Captain Locke, can you tell me more about the disappearance of the little girl you just mentioned?”
”Mr. Dunn is interested in it?”
Captain Locke said with a smile: ”in fact, it's nothing. In the past six months, kaspamiburg has lost hundreds of little girls in a row. People are missing almost every day. At first, they were attacked by Warcraft as children, but later, after a long time, we didn't find the trace of Warcraft. Instead, some abnormal clues show that it was man-made.”
Donne thought, ”kidnapping?”
”Not kidnapping.”
Locke shook his head: ”if it was kidnapping, someone should have been asked to pay ransom by now, but in fact, until now, there is no news of even asking for ransom.”
”You just said that the missing little girl is not only a civilian, but also the descendants of nobles?”
Owen suddenly interrupted, ”yes, even the daughter of the rich Mr. Vincent is missing.”
Owen and Locke sighed on their faces. Obviously, they didn't expect that even those nobles who were high above would encounter such a thing.
Locke added, ”if Mr. Downe knows someone who has a little girl, it's better to remind them to be careful.”
”I see...”
Donne suddenly had a meal, with a strange smile on his face: ”Mr. Locke, manager Owen, I have something else to do. Let's go first.”
”Well, all right, Mr. Dunn.”
Locke and Owen watched Donne walk away in a fog. They didn't understand why he suddenly stopped asking questions.
Of course Donne was not interested in further questioning, because there was finally something going on in Elia.
The magic node he released on Elia is moving rapidly. It is obviously not Elia's way of action, and he can feel Elia's rapid heartbeat, which seems a little nervous and afraid.
”Elia, don't worry. I've been staring at you.”
Donne's voice soothed Elia's mood.
”Big brother, I'm so scared. It's so dark here. Just now, several people jumped in from the window and put me in a bag. They are bad guys!”
”I know. Don't worry. It'll be fine.”
Donne's face showed a cold smile as he followed the sensor node in the street. If he had only doubts before, he could almost be sure now.
The disappearance of the little girl was definitely related to Ogg, or baron duvier.
He stopped and appeared in front of Donne. It was the Lord's house that had just left.
And Elia, now in the Lord's house.
