Ellen City, about a hundred kilometers away from Echo City. Between the two cities is a plain, and the road is not bumpy, so the trip is not too hard.

However, at the speed of the carriage, they still slept on the road for the night, and reached the city of Ellen at noon the next day.

Ellen is also a big city, and although it is worse than Echo City, it is still a very prosperous place. On the outskirts of the city, the four carriages were separated, one every hour, after all, nineteen professionals entering the same city at the same time would certainly be questioned and watched, and it would be better to act separately.

Beta's third squad was the last to enter the city, and the guards guarding the side of the road just glanced inside, and when they saw Beta, who was noble and had a white and tender face, they immediately let him go.

At first glance, the young master brother of which family brought his subordinates here to play, and when they encounter this kind of person, the guards are generally reluctant to do much trouble.

Entering the city, the four Beta found a hotel to stay, and although the four teams were separated, they had their own set of contact information.

Beta opened two rooms, one for him and Heidi, and one for Robben and Sion.

It's not that Beta wants to take advantage of Heidi, but that he is now playing Brother Gongzi, so it is normal for Brother Gongzi to live in the same room with his female subordinates and enjoy the service of his female subordinates. Moreover, the room where Beta lives is an inner bedroom and an outer bedroom, Beta sleeps in the outer bedroom, and Heidi sleeps inside, and the two will not have substantial 'contact'.

Robben and Sion didn't have any problem with this, both of them actually knew that Heidi and his employer were lovers, and they didn't make a fuss when they saw Beta and Heidi living in the same room.

There are some things that they can't control. Besides, they don't think Heidi is so unselfish...... If Heidi didn't love herself, they would have kissed Fangze a long time ago, so why wait for Beta.

After lunch and a little sleep, Beta pretended to take Heidi and Robben out shopping, leaving Lucion in the room.

In fact, this is just an illusion, and after they left, Sion used the stealth ability of the thieves to turn into shadows and sneak out of the back door of the hotel to find Arnold and them.

Beta walked around the streets, apparently taking the beauty on the street, but in fact, as they walked and stopped, they wrote down most of the urban plans of Ellen City and the location of the Temple of Light.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Beta immediately drew a general topographical map of the city of Ellen on parchment from memory, which would definitely be a deviation, but Beta's intelligence was above ten points, and his memory was definitely much better than that of the other three, and if it was drawn by them, it would be even more unreliable.

After the painting, Sion also quietly returned, he crept in through the window, then went to the beta room and knocked on the door, and when he entered, he closed the door and whispered: "The first group is in the east of the city, the second group is in the west of the city, and the fourth group is staying in the hotel next to the Temple of Light, and everyone should not have attracted the attention of the Temple of Light." ”

Beta nodded: "There are more than one million residents in Ellen City, and the number of people who come in and out every day should be between 100,000, and they can't find it." How's the defense on the side of the Temple of Light? ”

"It's tight." Sion said, "It should be that the news of Payne's death has reached them, and just looking at it from the outside, I feel a tense atmosphere. This mission is a bit of a hassle. ”

Beta smiled: "Don't worry, the city lord gave us a month, in a few days, their emotions should be relaxed, and then we will think about other things, during this time, everyone can go out and play, our mission funds are quite large, as long as you don't spend too much money, you should be able to live more comfortably." ”

Robben and Sion laughed a few times, they liked Beta's generous personality, and Heidi was also smiling.

Each team was given thirty gold coins in the mission funds, and Nadette was a very generous man, and it was obvious that he had always been very generous and generous to his own people.

Beta took out three gold coins from his money bag and divided one among each of them, allowing them to go out and play on their own. All three smiled and walked out of the room.

Beta stayed in the room, took out the magic pattern notebook, and studied the magic patterns on the black coffin again.

Most player mages have a habit of squeezing out some time in their free time to learn new magical knowledge. After a while, it was already completely dark, Beta stretched out, heard movement on the balcony next door, he was a little curious, he walked to the balcony, and then saw Robben resting in a rocking chair on the balcony next door.

He turned his head to look at Beta and smiled rather embarrassedly, "Lord Cook, are you disturbed?" ”

Beta waved her hand: "It's okay, I just plan to relax too...... Didn't you go out with them? ”

Robben smiled awkwardly: "I didn't go out, I want to save some money." ”

"Ready to save up to get married?"

Robben smiled even more embarrassedly: "No, it's money saved for the family." I am the eldest in the family, and I have five younger brothers and four younger sisters. My family used to be poor, but it wasn't until I became a professional that it got better. ”

Ten offspring...... Beta tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Your parents are really capable of giving birth." ”

This in itself was a joke, but Robben took him as a compliment: "Yes, my parents are really good at having children." In our village, the more capable people are, the more they will be respected by others. ”

Next, Robben began to talk about his family, such as the fifth brother is very strong and has a great talent for becoming a professional, and a certain sister is very beautiful, similar to Heidi, and so on. Beta listened quietly from the side, very emotional, and the little people also had their own joys and sorrows, which reminded him of his previous experiences in the game.

Early in the game, he and Roland receive a mission to help an elderly couple find their son in Lakeside Town.

Roland, who was three years older than him, was reluctant to take on this task, but Beta didn't know much about 'things' at that time, so he had to go ahead, and pulled Roland, with his own efforts, to find the young head in a cannibal tribe, and he excitedly handed the head to the couple to see what task rewards he could get.

Outcome...... The old couple couldn't stand the blow and fainted on the spot, and at night, the old couple woke up, snuggled up, held their son's head, and calmly set fire to their small grass hut and died in the fire.

Beta, on the other hand, only gets 20 mission XP and a 5-point penalty for Citizen Friendship Points.

At that time, Beta was still young and soft-hearted, and he stared blankly at the burning grass hut, and for the first time in his life, he had red eyes and shed tears for NPCs.

In the following eight years of playtime, he watched too many life and death partings, and cast his heart as hard as steel. Now he can help Nadette and kill Penn, who is also a good man, for the benefit of the Cult of Fortune and to weaken the Temple of Light.

Position is sometimes more important than right or wrong.

Robben spoke for almost two hours, and Beta listened for such a long time, occasionally interjecting and asking questions, which made Robben speak even more energetically, and it could be seen that he hadn't said so much in a long time.

It's normal to think about it, Robben, as a shield warrior, usually pays most of the bills for training and maintaining his equipment, and he doesn't seem to be very gregarious in the team, so it's strange that someone is willing to talk to him more.

It didn't take long for Sion and Heidi to return, and Sion had a strong smell of cheap rouge powder on his body, while Heidi had a few more beautiful clothes in his hands.

At a glance, you can see what these two people have done when they go out.

Sion smiled a little embarrassedly and hid in his room, while Heidi showed an unhappy expression: "Obviously out of the mission, I am reluctant to save some physical strength, and I don't know how to adjust my state, what is really wrong, he is the first to die." ”

Beta said helplessly, "Don't curse your teammates. ”

Heidi patted her head lightly: "I'm sorry, I've been in a bad mood for the past two days. ”

Beta nodded in understanding and didn't ask more. He and Heidi are not very familiar, and he shouldn't ask these things, otherwise he will be suspected of flirting with his sister.

Heidi breathed a sigh of relief, then went to take a shower, and after changing into comfortable pajamas, she sat down across from Beta and said, "Cook, I have something I want to say to you." ”

Heidi, who took a bath, also had a fragrance on her body, but it was not strong.

Beta put down the parchment in his hand, these magic patterns were all knowledge and power in Beta's eyes. But in Heidi's eyes, they are all ghost drawings, and I feel dizzy at a glance.

"Well, let's talk about it."

Heidi took a deep breath: "The city lord asked me to apologize to you on his behalf?" ”

Beta is a little unclear.

"He's sent someone to investigate you in Lago." Heidi said helplessly: "You are very capable and powerful, when you first came, the city lord was a little wary of you, so ......"

Beta smiled 'empathetically', "It's okay, I can understand what the city lord is doing. If it were me and someone came to me, I would have to check the other party's bottom, which is normal. ”

Heidi sighed: "It's great that you can understand, the city lord is afraid that you will have a problem in your heart when you know it in the future...... But I really didn't expect that you already have two powerful women by your side, one of whom is still of different race. ”

Hehe, Beta laughed dryly.

"Do you think it's your feminine beauty, or my pretty?"

Heidi's eyes narrowed, her eyelashes long, and she looked quite seductive under the oil lamp.

Betayi said without hesitation, "Judy and Angel are prettier." ”

Heidi stood up, walked behind Beta, pressed her upper body against Beta's back, rubbed Beta's face with one hand, and said, "What about now?" ”

Beta still said without hesitation, "It's better for them to be prettier." ”

Heidi glanced down and sneered: "The weapons are all out of their sheaths, and they are still standing tall, don't you think it's against your will to say this kind of thing again?" ”

"This is a normal physiological response that cannot be controlled." Beta laughed, "But I can control my actions. ”

"It's a pity, I wanted you to rest in my inner chamber for the night." Heidi let go of Beta and returned to his inner bedroom, waving to him before closing the door: "Good night...... You have changed your mind, you can come to me at any time, I don't mind. ”

The door to the inner bedroom was gently shut. Beta turned her head and snorted coldly in her heart, Nadette trusted herself, and this woman was still testing herself.

Sometimes he admires women's intuition, obviously people are not very smart, but they can often look at things inexplicably to the core.

For the next few days, Beta and the other three wandered around the city, both to map the terrain more accurately and to see if they could find out how their targets were moving.

Over the course of a few days, the topographic map was fairly accurate, but the target never appeared once.

After another two days, Beta and Arnold quietly met in a remote hotel: "The target has not come out of the Temple of Light, we are very passive...... Cook, you're smarter, is there anything you can do? ”

Beta also shook her head helplessly: "This kind of target that hides in his cave like a turtle is the most difficult to do. How about finding a night attack to strengthen the attack? ”

Arnold shook his head: "No, the defense of the Temple of Light is very tight, and the loss of the strong attack is too great, and it may not be successful." And unlike us in Echo City, where it's our home turf and we have a big advantage, but it's someone else's territory, and we can only assassinate. ”

"Don't worry, there are still more than twenty days before the time stipulated by the city lord, let's wait slowly, the opportunity will always come."

Arnold sighed: "I'm afraid that the other party won't be out of the Temple of Light for several months." ”

As it turned out, Arnold's judgment was correct, and the other party was really hiding in the Temple of Light and was not going to come out. Ten days had passed, and the target still hadn't come out of the temple.

At this moment, almost everyone except Beta became impatient.

The captains of the four teams gathered in the remote hotel house at the same time, and Arnold said helplessly: "Now the time set by the city lord has been less than half a month, but we haven't even seen the shadow of the target person, what do you say?" ”

No one answered.

Beta looked left and right, took out a pamphlet from his clothes, and read it: "Bemessi, sixty-two years old, is old-fashioned and stubborn and cautious, originally a combat priest, although later turned to an archbishop, but still maintains a strong fighting ability, unmarried and childless, and is said to have a tendency to like young boys. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Arnold asked, "Cook, where did you get this information?" ”

"I've been wandering around the streets for the past ten days, listening to the voices of pedestrians and passers-by, and I've written them down, and these are more credible."

Everyone was stunned, and they were all a little ashamed.

"There are a few more interesting ones, but they are not very credible." Beta flipped the page and read: "Bemessi is said to have an ambiguous relationship with the lord of the city, probably a relationship with bayonets. In addition, on the few days at the end of each month, he may appear at the house of a noble man named Bolgari, but others say that it is just very similar, I don't know if it is true. ”

Arnold's eyes lit up slightly: "It's the end of the month." ”
