Chapter 87 - Assemble (2/2)
“Mr Sereck? I didn’t expect you to corateful…”
“Don’tthat the Mercenary association should do”
Sereck waved his hand and s towards Rhode
“If you want to thank someone, thank him We wouldn’t be here if not for hihtly taken aback when he heard what Sereck said He stared curiously at Rhode for ahis attention back to Sereck He thought that Rhode was merely Sereck’s subordinate… but that didn’t appear to be the case now…
After a while, he stopped trying to analyze Rhode and invited the group in
“Everyone quickly coh opponents”
For a roup to be named Victorious Wine, one would think of their exceptional fortune Unfortunately, itsthe tunnel, the scene before theroup to take a deep breath
Five to six people were heavily injured and were leaning against the wall of the cave They were covered with blood and scars — so out! Continuous groans of pain filled the cave, but when they saw Rhode and the others enter, a spark of hope lit in their eyes
“Lize”
Rhode didn’t need to say much Lize and the four Clerics understood their roles They hastily rushed towards the an to heal their injuries
“I’roup”
The th to shi+ft the boulder back in place before walking forward and politely bowing
“On behalf of roup, I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart Frankly, I didn’t think that we could survive until now Mr Sereck, thank you…”
Then the man called Kudla turned towards Rhode
“…and he is?”
Kudla couldn’t help but study the young man in front of hi man as the one that saved theht I think you ht’ve heard his naht’ roup, I think you have heard about him before”
Sereck s Sereck’s introduction, Kudla showed a surprised expression
“He is the rumored… But… Why…”
“The Mercenary association lacks manpower at the moment”
Before Kudla could finish, Sereck filled in the blanks His face also turned dark
“You roup in Deep Stone City were sent to destroy the undead though none of theroups returned, but they faced multiple casualties Other than that, there’s no news about other groups”
“How could this happen!!”
Kudla was shocked
“I thought…”
“The Mercenary association is currently investigating about the couys get?”
“We were tasked to retrieve a keepsake of a traveler”
Sensing the seriousness of the matter, Kudla’s expression also turned solemn
“I heard that a traveler died at the outer borders of Silent Plateau The commissioner claimed to be the older brother of the traveler and he orried because his brother didn’t coreed initially, but the person appeared to be very sincere He even gave us a deposit of three hundred gold coins…”
That last sentence was the key point
“Was he from Deep Stone City?”
Sereck asked
Kudla went silent for ahis head
“No, from what I’ve heard, he seemed to be from the South… Anyway, he certainly not a person froion He also said that he often traveled and didn’t live here for long”
As expected
Sereck and Rhode exchanged a glance; both of them understood what each other mean
It seemed like Victorious Wine was also one of the victims That traveler’s keepsake was also fictitious — si to find a sword that didn’t exist In the end, it was just an excuse to deceive the into account that they old coins to do this… how could they be so generous?
What are they trying to do?
