"He just left."

"gone?"

"Yes, he left in a carriage about half an hour ago."

"Half an hour ago..." The young man thought for a moment and took out a bag of gold coins from his pocket. The bag was heavy and contained about a hundred gold coins. The young man took the gold coins in his hand and waved them in front of the hotel owner.

: "Think carefully about where this man went in the carriage. If you can remember, this bag of gold coins will be yours."

"By the way, let me remind you, if you dare to lie to me..."

"Don't you dare..." The innkeeper quickly clarified that he was telling the truth. He was from the Marathon family. Even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to deceive Marathon for a bag of gold coins.

Family people.

The innkeeper frowned tightly. After thinking hard for a while, he finally thought about it: "By the way, I remembered it. The adventurers with him seemed to have said that they were going to the fire."

Yushan!”

"Fire Feather Mountain?" The young man put the gold coin into the innkeeper's hand, walked quickly to a carriage, and whispered a few words to the people in the carriage. After a while, he saw him raise his head,

An order was issued to several other carriages: "We must arrive at Fire Feather Mountain before dawn!"

It was only a two-hour journey from Heishan Town to Huoyu Mountain. Lin Li was lying in the carriage and just squinting his eyes, he felt the unique temperature of Huoyu Mountain.

"Mr. Feyre, we're here." Hank stopped the carriage and carefully woke up Lin Li.

"So fast?" Lin Li rubbed his eyes, with a hint of sleepiness on his face. When he came out of the car, he suddenly stopped again: "Hank, my name is Feyre, not Mr. Feyre.

By the way, I am a fifth-level warrior, not a magician. If you admit the wrong person next time, you may have a little trouble..."

"..."

Six mercenary groups set up six camps under Fire Feather Mountain, among which the Silver Hand camp was at the outermost edge. After Lin Li got off the carriage, he saw hundreds of tents densely connected together at a glance.

This means at least thousands of adventurers...

For a moment, Lin Li couldn't help but wonder, what kind of mission was this that would attract six powerful mercenary groups at the same time?

The three major mercenary groups in Olanna are no joke. Lin Li doesn't know much about the strength of the other two, but because of Ina's relationship, he knows more or less about the Silver Hand. Even if he puts aside the famous

Not to mention Silver Storm, the Silver Hand has thousands of adventurers of all levels, including at least several hundred who have reached level ten or above.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Lin Li to believe that there was any task that the Silver Hand could not complete alone, but had to cooperate with several other mercenary groups.

Cooperation is not common for mercenary groups...

As the saying goes, peers are enemies, especially heavyweight peers like the three major mercenary groups. They are enemies among enemies. Each of the three major mercenary groups in Olanna controls thousands of adventurers, and their numbers are so huge.

As a group of adventurers, some conflicts are inevitable in daily life. Especially when conflicts of interest are involved, such conflicts will become extremely sharp. Getting them to cooperate is simply harder than reaching the sky...

But this time the mission really made them cooperate, and it seemed that they cooperated well. At least when they set up camp together, they didn't start fighting as soon as they met.

With some doubts, Lin Li followed Salina and others towards the Silver Hand's camp.

The Silver Hand's camp was well arranged, with more than a hundred tents occupying a large open space. Around the tents, several temporary sentry towers were set up, and several sharp-eyed archers were keeping watch on the sentry towers.

Under the guard tower, groups of heavily armed soldiers were patrolling back and forth in the camp.

The alertness is good... This is Lin Li's evaluation of Silver Hand.

That's why he was a little confused. How could the alert Silver Hand allow the leader to be blocked in the hotel and almost killed by a group of less powerful adventurers?

Unfortunately, before he could finish his doubts, he spotted a familiar figure...

The tent in the center of the camp is the largest in the entire camp. There is no doubt that this is the temporary headquarters of the Silver Hand, and the familiar figure walked out of this tent. He looks to be in his twenties and is dressed as a warrior.

Dressed up, her blond hair looks particularly dazzling in the early morning sun.

"Holy crap, why is it this guy!" Lin Li was shocked. It was Elaine who came out of the tent!

After visiting the black market together that day, we haven't seen this guy. Lin Li was a little surprised at the time. He had clearly asked him to come to the Magic Guild the next day to pick up the Bull Power potion, but why he hadn't been seen. Now Lin Li understood

, it turns out that this guy actually ran to Fire Feather Mountain one step ahead of me...

It makes some sense when you think about it. This guy is also one of the top ten mercenary group leaders. It's not strange that he has a share of this mission.

But why did he choose this time to show up...

Lin Li was really confused. It would not be a good thing to bump into Elaine at this time. If this guy is ignorant and reveals his background in one sentence, he will be in big trouble...

"Captain Salina, you are finally back..." Elaine saw the Silver Hand people coming from a distance, and immediately rushed forward with an anxious expression. However, just halfway through, the expression on Elaine's face was...

He froze because he discovered Lin Li among the crowd: "Fei...Fei Lei..."

"Captain Elaine, is it really you?" Lin Li didn't dare to give him a chance to speak. How should he explain himself if he called out Magician Ferey? The expression on Elaine's face just froze, and Lin Li was already

He came over with a face of surprise and gave Elaine a warm hug: "When do you plan to pay me back?"

"..." Elaine almost bit her tongue, thinking, don't you owe me three bottles of Bull Power potion? Why do I suddenly owe you money again?

Fortunately, Elaine is also a smart person. When he saw the wrong look on Lin Li's face, he knew that this young magician must have something to hide, so he did not dare to neglect at that moment and quickly followed his words: "This

…Can we talk about this matter later?”

"Another reprieve? You've been on reprieve for several months..." Taking advantage of the opportunity to press for debts, Lin Li lowered his voice and said to Elaine: "Remember, except for the money you owe me, everything else

You don’t know anything about it, do you understand?”

"Understood..." Elaine nodded, but the look on his face was extremely embarrassing. The leader of the top ten mercenary groups was actually being forced to pay debts in public. If this spread, I don't know what he would be embarrassed about.

place.

"Captain Elaine, what do you want from me?" Fortunately, Salina spoke in time to avoid Elaine's embarrassment.

"That's it, Captain Salina, I've already done what you asked me to do yesterday, and now the drawings are placed in your tent. Do you want to go over and take a look now?"

"I'll go right away." Salina nodded and called Hank over again, asking him to help Lin Li and others find a place to settle down first.

At the beginning, Lin Li actually wanted to call Elaine, firstly to unify his tone, and secondly to inquire about the mission. It doesn't matter if Salina refuses to say it, Elaine won't say it either, right? It's a pity that Salina

Na didn't give him a chance. Before entering the tent, she stopped Elaine again and said she had something to discuss with him.

In desperation, Lin Li had no choice but to follow Hank and find two tents to stay in in the north of the camp near the campfire.

"Hank, come in and chat." Lin Li had just dozed off in the carriage, but he had forgotten to ask many questions. Now that he had time anyway, he was not in a hurry to rest, so he simply left Hank behind and asked him.

A question that I couldn't figure out along the way came up: "Tell me, how did you get blocked by the Rising Sun Mercenary Group last night?"

The reason why I want to know the reason is not because Lin Li is nosy.

Tusardin's words before his death left a deep impression on him.

"It turns out...it's you..." These words were said from the mouth of a necromancer. No matter who heard it, they would probably be terrified. Being noticed by the necromancer was different from being targeted by a poisonous snake.
