"It's been less than a month, yet I feel so nervous coming back here. Did something happen?"Xiao Rui looked at the patrolling soldiers and said

"Yes, there were not so many patrol soldiers when we came to Newist two months ago! And the guards entering the city were not as strict as they are now."Xiu Handao

"It seems to have this feeling. Look at the patrolling soldiers, they are all in wartime formations. Something big must have happened in this city. Everyone should be careful."Long Shun also said

"Well, but in a large city like Newist, the daily defense force is still quite sufficient, and there is generally no danger. It's just that everyone needs to be more cautious."

After entering the city, Xiao Rui invited a few people to stay at the"Warm Home" hotel, because everyone still needs to go to the Adventurer Association to hand over the mission.

"Uh, you go ahead, I won't go. Before I went on the adventure, I said I would be your free thug. I don't want a cent of the bounty. Now that I'm back, I'll say goodbye."Hei Siyuan said

"Won't you come with us? Siyuan, where should we find you in the future?"Qing Ning pulled Hei Siyuan's sleeves.

"If there is a chance, we will meet again"

"Then I'll give you a share of the bounty, and you can come and get it at any time. I live in the"Warm Home" hotel, just on Second Street in the business district."Xiao Rui said

"Do I care about that little money?"Hei Siyuan said

"Why are you like this? I mean well!"

"Who wants your kindness!"Hei Siyuan pushed Xiao Rui away and walked towards the North District.

Xiao Rui was stunned, looked at Hei Siyuan's back and muttered a few words, then led a few people towards the"Warm Home".

In the hotel, everyone After doing a simple wash, they gathered again in Xiao Rui's room, discussed it, and decided to complete the bounty mission first.

Then they set off immediately and soon arrived at the Adventurers Association. People were coming and going in the hall, There was an endless stream of people receiving and completing bounty tasks. Several people waited for a while before it was their turn to hand in their task vouchers and take out several task items. The clerk surnamed Ji took out a notebook and raised his glasses. I pushed it and started searching in the book.

After waiting for a while, Secretary Ji said:"Several adventurers, the mission you have accepted needs to be handed over to the publisher in person."

"So where is the publisher?"Xiao Rui asked

"I don’t know who specifically posted it, but there are records saying that you need to go to the City Lord’s Mansion. I guess it was sent by the City Lord’s Mansion."

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Ji. Then we say goodbye"

"You're welcome."

Coming out of the Adventurers Association, several people stood in the square at the door.

"I remember hearing Hei Siyuan say that this mission seemed to come from the City Lord’s Mansion, so let’s go to the City Lord’s Mansion?"Xiao Rui said

"Regardless of the city lord's mansion or what it is, once the mission is completed, it's time to get the bounty, even if it's a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, you have to go there."Long Shun said

"OK, let’s go!"

It's about half an hour's journey from the Adventurers Association to the City Lord's Mansion. Without the stress of adventuring outside, everyone seemed very relaxed. During this period, Qing Ning and Long Shu also bought two bunches of candied haws, each holding one in their hands. , just like two children.

When they arrived at the city lord's mansion, there were two armored guards outside the door. After Xiao Rui and others reported their names and intentions, one of the guards came to the mansion to report. After a while, several people were invited to the council hall.

A few People followed the guards to the council hall. Outside the door, they saw an armored middle-aged man standing behind a long desk. A huge map hung on the wall behind him. There were a lot of books and documents on the desk in front of him.

"Meet the Lord of the City."Several people clasped their fists and saluted

"Well, no need to, sit next to me." Black Hand Wan said

"I heard that the bounty mission I posted was completed by some of you? What a hero!"

"Yes, Lord City Lord, we happened to need to go there, so we accepted this mission by the way, and we didn’t expect that we would be able to complete it by luck!"Xiao Rui answered.

"Haha, that’s not a bad tone, it’s done by the way!"Hei Shouwan patted the table with his hand.

"I misunderstood, Lord City Lord, we tried our best to complete this task and escaped death several times."Xiu Han said quickly

"Quickly, give the mission items to the Lord of the City."Xiu Han said to Xiao Rui again.

Xiao Rui quickly took out the Thunder Wood, Moa Shui and MOA leg bones and placed them in front of Black Hand Wan.

Black Hand Wan glanced at them, picked them up and threw them in the corner next to him. , and then said:"Well, you have finished it anyway, and this is your reward."

A golden card and a thin book were thrown towards Xiao Rui, and he caught them

"With this card, you can exchange it for five thousand gold coins at any money shop."

"Thank you Lord City Lord"

"If there is nothing else, let’s take our leave, Lord City Lord."Xiao Rui cupped his fists and said

"Wait, since you have completed this mission quite well, I have another mission for you."

"No, sir, we may not stay here anymore, and we are not a registered mercenary group."

"oh? So you are going to reject me?"Black Hand Wan turned around and looked at Xiao Rui and the others.

"Yes, my lord, I choose to refuse. As for others, it depends on their own thoughts."Xiao Rui did not avoid Black Hand Wan's eyes and said calmly.

"Sir, we also choose to refuse."Several other people also said in unison.

"Aren't you afraid that I will lock you up?"

"Then may I ask, sir, which crime have we committed?"Xiao Rui responded

"Haha, what's the crime? Collaboration with the enemy? Treason? That’s not my final say!"

"you……"Xiao Rui stepped forward, Xiu Han and others also took a step forward, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"OK, OK, OK. Your courage is commendable, but do you think you can defeat me? Haha, if you have the courage, I can safely leave this task to you. I wonder if any of you noticed that the security in the city has become even tighter when you entered the city?"Black Hand Wan's expression softened and he said

"Well, when we entered the city, we did find that it was much stricter than before. Did something really happen?"Xiao Rui asked

"Yes, not long after you set off, Newist invaded several armors. I dispatched the city defense mecha guards to defeat them, and also killed two brothers. They are really getting more and more rampant!"If the black hand punches the table,

"Then may I ask, sir, where do these people come from? Why come to attack Newist?"

"I suspect there is a base of theirs around Newist, and their origin involves an incident twenty years ago. Xiao Rui, I know the answer you are looking for"

"What? what do you know?"Xiao Rui said eagerly

"If you can help me complete this mission, I will tell you everything I know, which must be what you want to know about Xiao Ji."The black hand looked at Xiao Rui in a disgraceful way.

"do you really know……"Xiao Rui looked anxious

"So, will you agree?"

"Okay, so what is the task assigned to me this time?"

"I need you to go to Kiliro to investigate, because I suspect there is a base of theirs there, otherwise they won't be able to kill me so easily this time in Newist."

"How can I investigate if I can't get up to Kiliro? Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

"Just because I couldn't go up, I thought there was another passage over there, and that's how they came quietly."

"Who are those people? What mecha?"

"I can tell you, that is the Bat King Mecha Corps, the Exiles on the other side of Kiliro, in the Wasteland of Evernight"

"The other continent? Bat King Mecha Group?"

"It’s a big world, kid"

"Is this the logo of the Bat King Mecha Corps?"Xiao Rui took out a piece of cloth from his bag with a rubbing of a bat on it.

"What?"Black Hand Wan came over and snatched it away.

"Where are you from?"

Xiao Rui told Blackhand Wan everything about how to get this mark, including the appearance of the mecha and its location and number.

"Okay, I didn't even notice it under my nose. Their ambitions are not small. I still underestimated their ability to act! It seems they have more than one outpost."Blackhand said angrily

"Does this have anything to do with my father? I saw it once in Qiming Town three years ago"

"Well, I can tell you that your father's disappearance has a lot to do with this. Boy, I will credit you first, and I will keep my promise when you complete the task."

"So what do we need to do?"

"You go to Newland, a small town in the north of Kiliro. I suspect that the guard there has committed treason, and it was only because of his cover that he was not discovered. You just went over there to find out the location, size, etc. of the base over there. When you come back, report it to me and I will take people to destroy it."

"As for the base in Wuma Mountain you mentioned, don’t leave it alone for the time being. Dig out the surrounding areas and then clean them up together."

"Are there any other rewards? After all, we are not a mercenary team now. They may not go"

"Will any of you go?"Black Hand Wan turned around and said to several other people.

"I will definitely go with him."Xiu Handao

"Brother Xiao's matter is now my matter."Long Shun continued.

"Anyway, there’s nothing else to do. Although I’m not from Newist, I am also a member of the Chenas, so I’ll go too."Qing Ning also said

"Okay, yes, it’s just like what I thought. If you can successfully complete the mission and return this time, then you will be my subordinates, Blackhand Wan, and if you reach the level of ability, I will let you become mecha warriors!"

"Are you saying that we will have the opportunity to fly mechas in the future?"

"Yes, as long as you pass the test, you can all become Mecha Warriors!"

"So when do we need to leave?"Everyone asked

"You have just come back, take a rest and get ready. I will send someone to inform you of the specific time of departure!"

"This mission is not easy. You may lose your life if you are not careful. You must think clearly!" Black Hand Wan warned

"Okay, Lord City Lord, then we are leaving."

"Go for it!"

Farewell to Black Hand Wan, Xiao Rui and others left the council hall and returned to the hotel.
