Chapter 69 (1/2)
Locke obviously didn't expect to meet Donne here. After waving to his companions, Locke sat down next to Donne.
So Elia pouted and didn't like the guy who disturbed her to have dinner with her big brother.
”You heard the news, too. I didn't expect that the LORD would kidnap those little girls.”
Locke sighed and saw Donne nod. He said, ”but it's a good thing. I wondered why you paid attention to it before. I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful and lovely little sister.”
Hearing that Locke said she was beautiful and lovely, Elia reluctantly showed a smiling face and reduced some hostility.
”Now Lord... No, Baron duvier is dead. The mercenary guild will soon spread to the imperial capital. It is estimated that another Lord will change here soon. I hope it won't be another scum at that time.”
Locke sighed: ”probably when we come back from our mission, the new Lord will take office.”
”Task?”
”Well, we have nothing to do with the kidnapping. It's just a pity that we offered a reward of 2000 gold coins.”
Locke was very sorry, but he was excited in the twinkling of an eye: ”but there's nothing. There's another task. The reward offered by the necromancer is much more than this money. There are five thousand gold coins. With this money, my team members can replace some new equipment.”
Locke is bound to win the task.
Donne nodded slightly: ”but the necromancer is not so easy to deal with. You'd better be careful.”
”Don't worry, what's the fear of a necromancer who only dare to hide in a remote place like Ellington to steal a corpse...”
”What are you talking about?”
Donne's eyes widened. ”Ellington?”
”Well, yes.”
Locke didn't know why Donne was so excited: ”the reward news said that the haunt of the necromancer was south of Ellington...”
South of Ellington?
Donne frowned and remembered that it was... The forest of ladia? Further south is the shining lake. There are no residents there. Will there be a necromancer there?
”Are you sure?”
”Well, at least that's what the message says... What's the matter?”
”In the south of Ellington is the ladia forest, and then to the south is the shining Lake in the forest. There are no residents. How can there be a necromancer?”
”How did you know?”
Locke looked at Donne with great surprise.
Elia said naturally, ”because the big brother is the Lord of Ellington!”
”What!?”
Surprised, Locke stood up directly: ”are you... The Lord of Ellington?”
Donne nodded. ”Sit down and talk.”
Locke only listens to orders, but when he sits down, he is obviously very cramped.
Although Locke was in charge of a small mercenary regiment and had a good reputation in castle caspami, he was just a civilian.
And what's Donne? feudal lord!
To be frank, the feudal nobles of the Empire!
It's very different from his identity!
Locke was a little embarrassed to think that he had just spoken so casually to Donne.
”Are you sure you've got the reward right?”
”No, Lord, I've been sure again and again.”
”That's strange...”
Donne frowned. The necromancer often dealt with corpses and couldn't go to such a remote place. When he was in Ellington, although he didn't take the initiative to search, he didn't feel the fluctuation of the smell of death. At least it showed that there was no trace of the necromancer within a hundred miles of Ellington.
In Ellington territory, except for a few villages around Ellington Town, there are no people living further away. It is impossible to have a necromancer
Maybe it's the mercenary guild's big Oolong again.
Tang en kept his mouth shut. At the beginning, many players scolded the mercenary guild in the game. When the mercenary guild released a task, it always gave only an approximate range. Sometimes it was 18000 miles away from the goal of the task. In the game, it was estimated that prandal was almost ten miles away.
Donne was a little relieved to think of this.
”Locke, right? When are you going to leave?”
”I'll start tomorrow, because it will take a few days on the road and my sworn enemy has taken over the task, so I want to solve the task before them.”
”Tomorrow, maybe we can go together.”
”What do you mean?”
”We're going back to Ellington tomorrow. You should pass Ellington there?”
”No, we're not going to enter Ellington...”
”No, no, you have to face the dangerous necromancer after a long journey. You must need supplies very much?”
”Well, we brought enough supplies...”
Donne stared into Locke's eyes. ”You, will, enter Ellington, right?”
”Yes, yes! We will go in! We will go in! We will not only rest there, but also replenish supplies there!”
