v17 Chapter 21: Spread the Sword of Death

After hearing some bad guesses, Arche expressed apology to everyone: "I'm sorry... I was anxious about my own family affairs, and I wanted to give everyone a farewell gift, but in the end I dragged everyone into such a dangerous task."

Hekkeran said, "What are you talking about, Arche? We're only here for the money, and besides, that guy who claims to be the Demon Emperor is deflated every time he shows up. Just leave that troublesome guy to someone who can defeat him." Now, our task is just to investigate, and it is much safer than those adventurers and guards who have to fight demons."

The other two teammates also smoothed things over to comfort Arche, which moved Arche very much.

But Hekkeran turned serious again, and said in a low voice: "If it's really just a struggle between humans and demons, then it's easy to understand. But here's another piece of information that our workers can easily obtain. Take a look, I'll write it down secretly commission."

He took out a sheet.

Although they are all seemingly ordinary commissions such as collecting materials and moving goods, the rewards are too high, and it is no problem to collect each of the materials individually, but if they are put together, people with enough knowledge may be able to find out. He will commit the crime of losing his head; the goods he carries are also very messy.

It's not their job to fight crime, so Arche asked, "Could it be that these criminals have something to do with demons? Based on that?"

"First of all, it can be confirmed that the area where the demons were in turmoil at that time was not a simple warehouse area, but the core was actually the place with the most densely populated criminal dens in the city-it is said that this is a large group of black industries that ruled the entire northwest of the empire. It is a criminal organization of "Eight Fingers."

"A criminal organization... It's hard to imagine that a criminal gang that can cause turmoil on such a scale would have room to survive under the current emperor's rule, not to mention that there is a temple." Archedu muttered.

"Most of the production on the surface is legal, but just like the misuse of medical technology can kill people, the misuse of life-saving medicine will become poison. There will always be guys who play this kind of sideball to commit crimes, even if Arrest the merchants and nobles, and they will be able to argue that the follow-up disposal has nothing to do with them, try to shut up the arrested lower-level organizations." Priest Rober Dyke said.

Arche's face gradually became more gloomy. She thought of the anomalies in her family and her father who clearly knew that she had a chance to get the title and vowed to curse the Blood Emperor to death. ...

"Hey, you two men, don't drag the topic further and further. You said we don't have the time to do guard work." Seeing Archue like this, Yin Mina immediately interrupted even though she didn't know more about the internal reasons. Hekkeran and Rober Deckard on organized crime.

"Here, a photocopy of the instruction book about 'Eight Fingers', I got it from an adventurer who fought the devil. Now—" She pushed a scroll and put it in the middle of the table.

"Is it the coded text? It may take a lot of time to send it to be interpreted... Well, there are notes to interpret?" Arche was surprised after receiving it.

It would be normal if this was taken from the intelligence agency of any country, but Yin Mina took it from an adventurer, right? Generally, adventurers who have nothing to do with politics and don't know how to exercise their abilities in this area are very strange to come up with such a thing. Even if the other party has a connection, Hekkeran doesn't remember that Yin Mina ever contacted Yin Mina to use the team's public funds to make a transaction.

"It only cost 20 silver coins, as long as it's genuine, it's like a free gift." Yin Mina supported her face and said, "It's a team of steel-ranked adventurers named "Canglan Dewdrop", so its reputation is not a problem, right? .”

"Hugh—" Hekkeran whistled, "Reputation is fine, but this is really a team that has a very good relationship with the local nobles and even has nobles among its members!"

"But if there is such a level of analytical information and good relations with adventurers, why didn't Earl Lyle investigate or submit it to the Marquis?" Arche thought.

"It's probably because there are some things that the nobles don't like to touch, well, it's just dirty work in our traditional sense, and it really has the style of our job." Hekkeran joked.

The next step is to discuss how far this matter has gone. Basically, it is only an investigation. If there is a battle, Ixue's natural ability [Magic Eye of Seeing] will confirm whether to escape with the existing results.

If expenses were not counted, they were quite confident in their means of escape, even though they hadn't used any combat-related commissions so far.

"Then, at least one more insurance is needed." Arche said again, "By the way, have you found an experienced and strong enough co-operator?"

In addition to the above-mentioned troublesome reasons, Arche also thought that it was necessary to gather enough combat power to defeat at least one kind of steel scale demon and crown demon that had many confirmed sighting records.

Steel-scale demons can easily kill orichanite-level adventurers, and they are suspected to be used by the demon emperor to send out commanding servants; crown demons are demons that will take human heads or face skins and install them on themselves to exercise the original owner's ability. There is also the possibility of better makeup ability and hidden potential; current signs indicate that the Demon Emperor will not appear again in the short term, but the possibility of those two guys still exists.

Cooperators cannot be adventurers, because they are not countries but international organizations. If they are hired, with today's communication capabilities, they may be placed on the high-level tables of other countries immediately. Even though Arche didn't like the fact that the Empire cared about the slightest possibility of showing weakness in the face of a powerful world enemy, there was nothing he could do about it.

That Clementine seems to be able to win~lightnovelpub.net~ They may not necessarily lose if they fight together, they can even destroy some buildings and call for artillery support if they have to, but more insurance is better .

Hekkeran said: "Don't worry, the man who 'spread the death sword group', although his character is a bit arrogant, but other aspects are not a problem."

After that, they took out the map and held a war meeting cautiously, and they set off.

………………………

The mercenary group "Scattering Death Sword Group" recently received a "big order", but it was a big order, and the other party was just the strongest man named in the mercenary group, but the commission really made the head of the mercenary group unable to hesitate, even according to the rules He can only get 20% commission and make a lot of money.

By the way, the mercenary group "Spreading the Death Sword Group" was originally just a group of more than 70 people operating near the border of the empire in the north of E-Rantel. Because there was no war and the law enforcement was strong, there was no way to carry out large-scale robbery. , so the management is miserable, and the jobs and adventurers they do are similar to black workers—the life is a little bit better than that of ordinary farmers.
