Whoa, whoa...

It was a heavy rain. When the three people who had solved the problem returned to the misty caravan station in Yuanxi Village, a torrential downpour fell from the sky.

As if to wash away the plague that happened here, it rained heavily all day and night.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky finally cleared up, the temperature dropped a lot, and a slightly humid cold wind blew outside. The cold wind came in November.

……

"Set off!"

After confirming that everything was fine, the misty caravan set off again, rushing for a day, and saw Qinghe Town in the evening.

Qinghe Town, a big town whose scale can no longer be called a town, its scale has even surpassed the first city that Parr saw in this different world, Bluestone City.

However, because there is no city wall and it has been expanding, the plan to change the town to a city has been delayed. At least today, Qinghe Town is still called Qinghe Town, not Qinghe City.

Because there is no city wall, the roads in Qinghe Town extend in all directions. Except for a wide tributary waterway of the fluorescent river next to the west side, there are many roads on the other three sides, large and small.

Because the plague in the eastern district of the Qinghe Baron has just been resolved, many people are still watching.

Therefore, the misty caravan went all the way, and after passing through two levels of checkpoints on the road, it entered the area of ​​Qinghe Town, surrounded by new buildings.

At this point, the **** mission of Parr and John came to an end. Next, they did not need to **** the fog caravan, but instead escorted Demi to Luminous City. Of course, neither of the two parties took it seriously. Son, just because there is a quest agreement signed by the Adventurer's Association in hand, so both parties must go to Luminous City together.

John determined the departure time after communicating with Jim Knight.

The departure time is just three days later. The reason is that Demi wants to take a good rest to relieve the exhaustion of the journey, and also to visit Baron Qinghe, the lord of Qinghe Town. This is what Viscount Mist explained to her.

……

During these three days, Demi's safety did not need to be protected by the hired adventurers, so after confirming that the carriage of the misty caravan entered the dock on the west side of Qinghe Town, all the adventurers ran into Qinghe Town to eat, drink and play to relieve the fatigue of the journey went.

Pal and his party of four walked slowly towards the Qinghe Town Adventurers Association in a carriage. This was proposed by John and Darlene together. The purpose of the two was surprisingly the same. They said to see if there were any in the Adventurer Association. A letter sent to you by a friend.

Fixed-point letters, a business of the Adventurer's Association, is that adventurers who do not live in a fixed place tell others where they may pass, and then when others send letters to him, they will send the letters there, and adventurers will rely on their own when they pass by. to get the Adventurer Badge.

……

On the wide roads in Qinghe Town, all kinds of carriages come and go. Parr stood on the roof, observing the bustling scene of another world. Suddenly, he heard John sitting at the door of the carriage sigh with emotion:

"Qinghe Town is much quieter than the last time I came here!"

"Is this still cold?"

Pal scratched the roof edge of the car, turned over and jumped from it. He pointed to the crowds around the road, with the expression on his face that you're not kidding me.

"It's really deserted a lot. There used to be a lot of horses and carriages on the road. From time to time, there would be traffic jams, and it was difficult to walk."

It was not John who said this, but Darlene who led Weiwei out of the carriage.

"It should be what happened."

……

A big event did happen in Qinghe Town. After they came out of the Qinghe Town Adventurers Association, Parr and his party knew the reason. Not to mention the plague in the eastern part of the territory, just yesterday, the first Qinghe Baron who founded Qinghe Town died. Yes, old and dead.

The first Baron Qinghe will die of old age! Why is Qinghe Town a lot more deserted than before?

Qinghe Town, where there are frequent merchants and almost all-year-round transfer of supplies, is a big piece of fat. Taxes alone are a terrifying figure. A family with insufficient strength should not try to swallow it alone, let alone a family with a history of less than 50 years. already?

After Qinghe Town showed its value, the surrounding nobles and the nobles in Luminous City began to move, but because of the silver-level strength of the first Qinghe Baron, they dared not reach out and could only secretly do harmless things. Small actions.

Now that the first Baron Qinghe has finally died of old age, those nobles who have been coveting Qinghe Town for a long time are not happy? The second Baron Qinghe only had the strength of an intermediate bronze, and he was destined to be unable to keep the big piece of fat in Qinghe Town. He had to give up some interests in order to preserve the family.

But in the end, I still have to struggle with appearances, so several checkpoints were set up on the road to Qinghe Town, prohibiting small caravans of unknown origins from entering Qinghe Town.

……

"Complicated nobles!"

Parr and his party parked the carriage in a special parking lot behind a large hotel, and then checked into the large hotel.

It was getting late, and after having a casual meal, the four entered the opened room, one for men and one for women.

After entering the room, Parr directly rolled onto the bed and fell asleep. In fact, he entered the dream space and continued to attack the breeze space.

"It's small."

John glanced at Pal's sleeping posture, shook his head with a smile, went up to cover him with a quilt, then walked to the table and chairs and took out a luminous spar and a letter.

Sitting on the chair, John opened the fixed letter just taken from the Adventurer's Association under the light of the luminous spar.

The envelope was unremarkable, without any signature on it, only the recipient, which was John's adventurer number.

Opening the envelope, John pulled out a piece of light green letter paper, with clear lines on it, like leaves.

content:

Brother-in-law, in the middle of September of this year's harvest, Hongpao did a secret important thing in the Kingdom of Ash Lion. He even colluded with the cursed cultists to open the seal of the cursed evil god.

It is not clear what happened at the time, but the final result was that the church in the Cinder Lion Kingdom suffered heavy losses, the cultists who cursed the evil **** were all wiped out, and the red robe disappeared.

There are rumors that Hong Pao was seriously injured and crossed the western border fortress group to the western border of the Wind Wolf Kingdom.

I have already arrived at Luminous City by airship in early October, and I am secretly investigating the trace of the red robe.

When you read this letter, you must have arrived in Luminous City soon, right?

If you haven't received the latest fixed-point letter from the Adventurer's Association in the central district of Luminous City, you can go to the Luminescent Academy to find me, where I will temporarily serve as a teacher.

Finally, I wish you a safe journey, brother-in-law.

"Red robe..."

After reading it, John clenched the letter paper in his hand with a look of hatred on his face. He closed his eyes and murmured through gritted teeth:

"I'll kill you this time, definitely!"

……

"Weiwei, I won't be lecturing tonight, go to bed earlier!"

"Mr. Darlene, can you tell Wei Wei a story?"

"Okay, okay, let me tell you a bedtime story..."

"..."

In the next room, Darlene gently coaxed Wei Wei to sleep, then walked to the table like John and sat down, and took out a purple luminous spar and a letter from her waistband.

The envelope is the unified envelope of the Adventurer's Association, with only the adventurer's number.

The letter paper is a plain white piece of paper, that's right! It's just blank paper with no text on it.

Darlene, as expected, pressed the purple luminous spar to a corner of the white paper, then turned the luminous spar slightly, and the purple light of different lengths shone on the white paper, revealing the hidden content.

content:

Holy Maiden, the plague is about to act. The location has been confirmed to be in Luminous City. The exact time is unknown, but it should not exceed December this year.

Also, Hongpao sent someone to contact us, saying that they want to cooperate with us. Due to the insidiousness and cunning of Hongpao, we did not dare to make a rash decision on this matter. We also asked the Holy Maiden to arrive as soon as possible to make a decision.

"Is the red robe here too? What is his purpose?"

A flash of fire appeared in Darlene's hand, and the letter paper, which had returned to blank, instantly burned out and turned into fly ash.

"..."

Afterwards, Darlene closed her eyes and pondered for a long time, then turned to look at Weiwei, who was lying on the bed curled up and sleeping, with apologetic eyes in her eyes.

"Weiwei, I'm sorry, I have to leave early. When this matter is over, I will definitely find you."

……

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"

The west side of Qinghe Town is next to a tributary of the Fluorescent River~lightnovelpub.net~ At first, this tributary was not wide, but with the establishment of the trade route, Baron Qinghe paid a lot of money to hire a few magicians to widen the river. Large and small loading and unloading docks have been established along the coast, forming a lively scene where various ships come and go.

The long fog caravan was led by Director Marcus to the largest loading and unloading point, where a large ship had already docked, and it was about to load the goods and set off.

Steward Marcus did not hesitate, and regardless of whether it was dark or not, he drove the caravan mates and temporarily hired stevedores to start loading the goods on the carriage onto the ship.

After things got on the right track, Marcus walked into a simple wooden house not far away with a cane, saying that he was resting, but he was actually seeing a person, a white-haired old man in sackcloth with a wrinkled face.

"Sir, the goods have been delivered."

Marcus danced his fingers with one hand and made an extremely complicated gesture to show his identity.

"Ok."

The old man sitting on the chair made the same gesture, then frowned at Marcus.

"How is it an ordinary believer? Where is your mentor? What about the others?"

"Unfortunately."

Marcus's eyes became fanatical, and he said in a low voice: "Because of some accidents, the mentor and the others went to see the God of Plague in advance, but fortunately, the goods arrived here smoothly."

"..."

The old man was silent for a while, then patted the armrest of the chair and said, "If that's the case, then you can continue to be in charge of this batch of goods! The **** of plague is watching you and me."

"The **** of plague is watching you and me."

Steward Marcus roared frantically, and then the old man disappeared in a blink of an eye.
