The Viscount frowned, probably thinking why he detoured for so long and then came back.

But at least part of the negotiation has been settled. Ai Luo took out the power of attorney and wrote down the entrustment matters and the categories of money on it very skillfully. After a cursory glance, Viscount Rich took out five gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the table.

Then he turned around and got off the high stool: "I'm just waiting for your good news! I will stay in the Unicorn Hotel these two days. If the cleaning is completed, please notify me immediately!"

Weighing these five shining gold coins, Airl's eyes almost burst into laughter. At that moment, he immediately and respectfully sent the viscount out of the guild gate, waving to him enthusiastically until he turned a corner.

, until I can no longer see it.

"yeah!"

He was so excited that the guild leader couldn't help clenching his fists and cheering a little.

Five gold coins! These are five golden gold coins!

Ai Luo held the five gold coins in his hand, took out one, blew on it, put it to his ear and listened. Then he flipped the five gold coins in his hand repeatedly, listening to the sound of the five gold coins hitting each other.

A crisp and sweet sound.

This sound... really only the sounds of nature can produce such a beautiful sound! I really can’t get tired of hearing it no matter how many times I listen to it!

However, Ai Luo also knows that this kind of business does not happen often. This time, thanks to the light of heaven, the entrustment price has been raised, and he can take advantage of the opportunity to ask for a price. Under normal circumstances, I am afraid that he will ask for two coins at most.

Gold coins are amazing.

He returned to the counter with the gold coins and put them away. As long as his eyes no longer looked at the shining golden thing, he naturally began to calm down.

At this time, the guild members who had been listening also came over and gathered in front of the counter.

"That man is really a fool."

For outsiders, Coco's comments are not very polite.

Ai Luo shook his head and said with a smile: "How can you evaluate our guests like this? Ai Luo, you have to know that since someone is willing to give us money, it means that the customer is very smart! So, as long as he gives us money,

Our customers are the smartest people in the world! Do you understand this?"

Coco rolled her eyes silently. William on the side seemed a little worried: "Ignore the Viscount for now, let's talk about this Swan Castle. How do you plan to deal with it?"

This is a problem.

Two warriors went to Swan Castle to explore, and never returned. In fact, Ai Luo hoped that the real answer was that the two warriors suddenly felt trouble after arriving at the castle gate, and ran away with the money, at least

This way he felt better.

This feeling of comfort does not mean that Airl feels better that the two of them are alive, but that they have not explored the castle, so there may not be any "being" in the castle that can kill these two warriors.

However, such hope is just hope.

Judging from the current perspective, Airl is indeed more inclined to believe that the two people have been wiped out in the Swan Castle. Similarly, this also means that there must be something very bad in this castle.

"I don't know if those two soldiers went there during the day or at night... I warned them before they left that if they entered at night, they might encounter some monsters that are good at sneak attacks and like dark and narrow areas... If there are really monsters in there

If it’s a certain kind of monster, going at night might actually lead you into a trap..."

"Well...actually we don't have much choice. We currently don't have the ability to make night vision potions, so we can only go and check it out during the day. So -"

Ai Luo took a slight breath, took out a stack of paper and pen from under the counter, put it in front of Cream and said: "Crime, you are fast, have rich combat experience, and you also have a shadow ring to use for escaping.

.If we want to explore safely, we need to make preparations in advance. Can you go to the Swan Castle to check it out first?"

"Me? Alone?" Ji Lian seemed a little nervous, "I said, now I want to explore a place where two well-prepared soldiers may have been killed. Do you want me to go alone?"

Ai Luo nodded: "Indeed, this is indeed not possible."

As he spoke, he took out one of the three bottles of therapeutic aerosol from the counter behind him and handed it to Cream together with the papers and pens——

"You take this bottle of medicine with you for self-defense. I don't need you to enter Swan Castle to investigate. You just need to look around and search to see if there are any traces of Warcraft or other traces. Then look again.

Look at the entrance and exit of Swan Castle and check the terrain. As a thief, I hope you can play your role as much as possible. Remember to come back before dark. Also, remember what you said, adventurers will not take risks, you must remember

Keep yourself safe.”

Now that Ai Luo has said so, what else does Cream have to say?

He put his things away with a look of helplessness, put on his backpack, picked up his fanged dagger from the training room, and walked out the door.

————

A day can pass quickly or very slowly.

When there is nothing on your mind, the happy time seems to be running away. But if you have worries on your mind, it seems that every minute and every second you spend has a feeling of suffering.

Ai Luo originally thought that he could feel relieved.

But it turned out that he overestimated his patience.

As the sun gradually sets in the west, the entire Pelican Town is suffused with a golden afterglow.

Everyone in the square gradually left to go home, and every household began to prepare dinner. The aroma of food and reunion wafted through the streets.

But Cream hasn't come back yet.

Seeing that the sun was about to disappear and Pelican Town was about to be occupied by darkness, Arrow couldn't help but feel more and more nervous.

Could it be...that I really shouldn't let Jim go to explore that castle alone?

Should I really let Brad, Buffy, and Coco go with Cream?

Could it be that his trust in Ji Lian caused the thief to fall into a very bad and dangerous situation?

Ai Luo covered his head and began to recall his instructions to Ji Lian, trying to see if he had said anything that he shouldn't have said, or if he had not warned him.

As the sun's rays completely fell behind the Evermian Mountains, Airl's heart couldn't help but be tightened, and a deep feeling of regret began to spread in his heart.

There are only a few members in the guild. If something really happened to Ji Lian because of his error in judgment...

If... it really leads to that happening...!

Ai Luo didn't dare to think about it anymore. He even felt that just thinking about this situation would be very scary.

This is really funny. Think about it, I was secretly mocking the Viscount in my mind during the day. He would do anything to stop thinking. So now, wouldn't he be able to do anything to stop thinking?

Arrow admitted that he was very nervous.

This kind of nervousness made him not even make dinner. He just sat in the rest area and waited, his eyes always looking at the guild door.

"Phew, I'm back!"

In the dim moonlight, Ji Lian stepped into the guild with an unharmed look on his face.

It was also at that moment that Ai Luo lay on the table as if exhausted, took two deep breaths, and then stood up.

"Ah, President, I've investigated some things, if you don't want to take a look..."

"No time! I have to make dinner!"

Arrow yelled and walked into the kitchen without stopping. This made Cream very embarrassed. He held the drawings in his arms and looked at Brad who was starting to put the dishes over there, and then looked in the direction of the kitchen:

"What happened to the president? Did you take the wrong medicine again?"

Brad just smiled, but Buffy said: "President! Worry! Don't move for a day! Do you understand?"

After just a few words, Ji Lian was stunned for a moment, his nose felt a little sour, and he chuckled.

After finishing dinner and packing up their things, everyone in the Mermaid Song Guild could finally gather around the table and carefully examine the contents of Cream's exploration today.

Cream opened a map, which briefly drew the distance between Pelican Town, Shining Forest, Eversleeping Mountains and Swan Castle. You can see that Swan Castle is closest to Pelican Town and stands on a slightly sloping grassland.

superior.

"After I went shopping around here, I got quite a lot of information."

With that said, Cream pointed at the location of Swan Castle and said——

"This is a castle built of stone. Not to mention its age. The whole thing is made of large stacks of stones. It is very strong. I feel that it can even withstand several high-level fire spells.

Explosion. But it was so long ago that many vines grew in the castle, and it seemed as if they were all over the castle."

After saying that, Cream opened another drawing, which showed a simplified appearance of the Swan Castle.

"The highest point of the Neuschwanstein Castle is an observation deck, which was probably used to supervise the mine. There are almost no windows in the entire Neuschwanstein Castle. From the design point of view, the owner seems to dislike light. You can imagine what's going on inside.

The view is definitely not great.”

"Then, when I walked around the Castle of Neuschwanstein, I discovered that the castle had signs of being burned."

"The fire must be very old, but it can still be seen from the few remaining windows. I don't know whether the fire burned from the inside of the Castle or whether it burned from the outside and spread to the inside."

Arrow looked at William's simple drawing, thought for a while and said: "What's going on with this fire? You just said that this is a castle made almost entirely of stone, but I saw this simple drawing you drew.
Chapter completed!
