Chapter 13: Strange Things

"Thank goodness you're finally here......"

Among the town guards who greeted them, the leading guard with a deer head who looked like a druid was very excited, and he rushed to the convoy in three steps and two steps, pulled the tarpaulin from the minecart, and smiled with relief as he looked at the pile of lighthouse crystals that were piled high.

"What's going on, the town's lighthouse crystal reserves shouldn't be so scarce?

Isn't it usual that halfway through the use of mine fleets will be replenished? ”

Amazon, who was at the head of the escort team, frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"Uh... In fact, the last wave of convoys transporting lighthouse crystals failed to arrive smoothly, and we didn't know what was going on, and we didn't find any problems when we sent people out to investigate, so we had to apply to the mining area to reassign a batch of crystals for emergency. ”

The druids also frowned and shook their heads, this happened strangely, although any dangerous situation can happen in the second world, and they have not encountered the fact that the mining convoy was attacked by demons and wiped out before.

But the problem is that under normal circumstances, the attacking demon will not take the lighthouse crystal from the minecart, and at most it will destroy the minecart.

Lighthouse crystals don't fit in the inventory, they're big and useless, and they're a burden to the demons who infiltrate the human-occupied areas lightly, and even the Evil Pact rarely takes them, at most they just find a place nearby to bury them and let them look for them for a few more days.

But this time it was obviously different, the previous convoy transporting crystals seemed to have disappeared directly, and they sent people out to search for them, but they didn't even find a shadow.

The wreckage of the minecart and the hidden lighthouse crystal were not left at all, as if they had been carried away entirely.

This is a bit evil, could it be that some large demon force has infiltrated the rear of this area?

"We did encounter a group of Winged Demon clones when we came, but with their numbers, we shouldn't be able to take these minecarts with us......"

Hearing the words of the leader of the druid guards, the two leading steel-level adepts also felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

After all, the previous wave of Winged Demon attacks was too common in the Second World, and there was no problem at all.

"Well, it seems that something has indeed come to our side, and I have already reported this matter to the upper war zone, let's see how the war zone will react... Alas! Patronizing and saying this, everyone should come in first, it's been hard along the way. ”

The druid frowned and thought about it, but he didn't come up with a reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and stepped out of the way to let the members of the escort team walk into the barrier.

"Let's settle the mission first, and then you can move freely." The druid unfastened the glove of his right hand, revealing an armband with brass lace, and motioned for all the professionals involved in the escort mission to come over.

"By the way, since there are Black Rock level brothers among the escorts, then as usual, I still have to remind you that most of the rules of the Holy Covenant in the town will be restored, except that you still can't check other people's level occupations, the other rules are no different from the first world, so you'd better not cause disputes casually, there are really beams that can't be revealed, please solve it in the dueling arena."

What the druids said had been heard countless times by everyone except Xue Hua, and even Wendy and her teammates weren't the first time they had entered a human town in the Second World, so they all nodded their heads and signaled that they understood.

The process of settling the combat merits of the mission is very fast, and Xue Hua's Black Rock Meritorious Medal also has an additional 20 points of combat merit points, and there is also an additional record of the brass tasks he has performed, which are all the credentials for him to upgrade the meritorious medal in the future.

However, Xue Hua ignored these insignificant gains for the time being, he thought about it for a while, and then walked up to the druid who was settling the task and asked him: "Hello, senior, if you want to enter these towns, do you need to check the identity of the professional?" ”

The druid glanced up at him, and did not despise him because he was a novice: "Generally speaking, there is no need, if a professional wants to enter the city, it is enough to show the merit card, and the evil pact does not have a merit card, even if you grab the merit card from other professionals, the merit card will immediately self-destruct, so there is no need for this." ”

"I see, thank you."

Xue Hua nodded thoughtfully, thanked him, and walked towards the gate of the town.

Of course, he asked about it, not because he had nothing to do, but because not long ago, the Inspector Wang Worm had discovered something strange in the Blackstone Valley northwest of the town.

Three minecarts covered in black tarpaulins appeared outside a hidden cave in the valley, the lighthouse crystals on the minecarts were still there, and the whole minecart was not moved, but was covered by black tarpaulins.

In addition to these minecarts, the Overseer also found some of the minecart guards in the cave, all of whom were covered in black flannel cloaks, and were sneaky and sneaky.

However, when the monitoring Wang Worm first discovered this scene, Xue Hua didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Because the guys who guard the minecarts are all serious professionals!

When Xue Hua first came to this world, he didn't know much about everything here.

If he hadn't just heard the leader of the druid guards say that they had lost a team of minecarts not long ago, he would have thought that these guys hiding in the ravine to guard the minecarts were some kind of tactical plan on the part of the pros!

After knowing this information, he immediately thought of this matter, and after a casual guess based on the analysis of Isha and Zagara, he roughly knew that these guys should be the group of people who hijacked the minecart.

But all this is just his speculation for the time being, and even he is not very sure.

After all, the identities of those guys' professionals are too confusing, and Xue Hua is not sure whether these guys are really carjackers, or if it is the trapping plan of the professionals to trap the real carjackers.

If this is not clear, it is not easy for him to talk about this matter everywhere, and it is even more difficult to directly send the swarm to act.

Otherwise, if the water washes the Dragon King Temple at that time, it will really be a dog......

The question he had asked the leader of the druid's guard was to test a conjecture in his mind.

Now it seems that the chances of that team plotting against each other are getting bigger and bigger!
