061 Friend or foe are hard to argue
The fluctuations of the mental power of the fence come and go quickly. It didn't take long for her to disappear, and Liang Lidong knew that she had successfully contracted the demon pet.
Liang Lidong left the large laboratory and went to the bedroom next to him. Originally, this was Carl's residence, but the furniture and bedding inside were fresh, and even smelled of wood paint. It must be said that Uther was very well prepared, the furniture and utensils in the room were fully used, and it didn't take long for a decent maid to knock on the door.
"Lord Beta, the lord of the city has asked me to serve you." The girl was wearing a linen maid's suit, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at people: "In addition, this is the gold coin that the city lord asked me to send." ”
The maid held a small bag full of gold coins in front of Liang Lidong, who put the gold coins into the space backpack and said, "Okay, you go out to rest, and come back to call me when it's time to eat." ”
With a sigh of relief, the maid quickly left. Liang Lidong could see that the maid was afraid of him. Joan of Arc stood on Liang Lidong's shoulder and snorted, "It seems that your master's reputation in Winter Wind City is not very good." It's normal if it's a professional who is afraid of you, but if even ordinary people are afraid of you, the situation is not quite right. ”
"I know, so I'm going to look it up." Liang Lidong looked at the sky from the window: "It's still a while before dinner, let's go out and see the situation." Joan of Arc, you fly up to the sky first, and then help me keep an eye on my surroundings, and if there is a tail following me, I will ward it. ”
"Understood!" Joan of Arc fluttered twice and flew out of the window.
Liang Lidong came out of the castle and set off towards the center of the city. There were a few soldiers guarding the castle drawbridge, and no one was allowed to enter or leave casually, but when they saw Liang Lidong wearing a red magic robe, they didn't dare to step forward to stop them, but a clever soldier trotted to the castle to report.
Walking on the street, many passers-by saw him in a red robe, and they subconsciously avoided it.
According to the experience in the game, if you want to get useful information for the first time without caring about money, the first choice is to kill the man. Liang Lidong found the 'Black Iron Blade' blacksmith shop again this time, and this time it was the beauty who was too good to be in shape last time. It's just that this time she didn't play any mysterious tricks anymore, and after the usher brought Liang Lidong to the small room, she walked out directly, without closing the door and without wearing a veil on her face.
"See you again." Liang Lidong looked at each other: "It seems that we are also relatively fateful people, so I don't mind saying your name." ”
The beauty of the Killer Guild lightly opened Sakura's lips and said, "Caterina! Lord Beta, it's a pleasure for you to take care of our Killer Guild's business once again. I don't know what Your Excellency is doing this time. ”
Liang Lidong knows that this name may not be his real name, but it is always a good thing to have a title, and convenience is communication. He said, "Lady Caterina, I noticed not long ago that the normal people of Winterwind seem to be a little scared of me. This is not normal, so I would like to ask your union to help me find out what is going on. ”
Caterina stretched out her hand: "Chenghui, fifty gold coins." ”
This price sounds ordinary and scary enough, but it is not an exaggerated number for professionals, especially players like Liang Lidong who used to be a lord of one side. He took out a bag of gold coins from his space backpack and placed it on the table.
Listening to the heavy sound of the money bag falling on the table, Caterina slowly untied the money bag, counted fifty gold coins from it, put them in her clothes, and then she smiled and said, "I can tell you about this commission now." Two and a half months ago, the Mercenary Guild accepted a commission from the noble Rex to spread rumors about your lordship in Winterwind and ruin your reputation. The content of the rumors is nothing more than that you are cruel and unkind, lustful, and then you still like to kill girls. ”
Liang Lidong frowned, this thing became more and more strange: "Why did Rex do this!" ”
Katerina's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she said with some amusement, "Maybe he's just just bored?" ”
Rex seems to be particularly obsessed with provoking Liang Lidong, trying to provoke his emotions twice and three times in the castle, and as for spreading rumors about him, it seems that he is also a move to provoke him. What is it that could make Rex do such a strange move. Whether from the perspective of interests or psychology, provoking Liang Lidong is not beneficial to Rex, but the problem is that the other party did it.
No profit can not be early, this is the creed of the aristocracy. Liang Lidong didn't believe that Rex just wanted to provoke him, nor did he believe that the other party was just bored and wanted to find something to relieve his boredom, he believed that there must be a reason that he didn't know.
"I entrust your union to help me find out why." Liang Lidong pushed the remaining half bag of gold coins in front of the beauty: "This is a deposit, if the matter is completed, I will pay another fifty gold coins as a hardship fee." ”
"That's generous!" Caterina put the money bag away and smiled like a lucky cat who had stolen a fishy man: "We'll take this over the killer." Rex is a very strange person, he has been in Winterwind City from the royal city for less than five years, and he has a firm foothold here, and he has an unknown source of funds behind him, in fact, we have been investigating him, although we have found a lot of things, but we always feel that there is a key core thing that is hidden by him, maybe this has something to do with him spreading rumors about you. ”
The intelligence reconnaissance of the Killer Guild can be said to be the best in the whole continent, and Liang Lidong does not doubt that they can't find something: "How much time do you need." ”
"Soon, our personnel have infiltrated the core of the Rex family, and it will be as short as ten days or as long as a month." Caterina stood up, she looked at Liang Lidong with a smile: "If Your Excellency Beta can become our peripheral personnel, then this mission can be free." We know you have a special kind of fog magic that works as a silent movement and is not easily dispelled...... You are naturally suited to be a killer, you have this trait. ”

Leaving the 'Black Iron Blade' blacksmith shop, Liang Lidong walked in the alleys of the slums, he refused Caterina's invitation, this is a matter of course, he has a lot of things to do, he has to be busy leveling up, he has no time to play any killer games, not to mention that he doesn't want to be ordered and controlled by others, this is the nature of most players.
There was dirty yellow water on both sides of the street, and there was a rice field on the road, Liang Lidong covered his nose, he wanted to leave this place quickly. The physical fitness of professionals is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but the relative sense of smell is also much stronger than that of ordinary people. In many cases, the slightest smell can make professionals feel uncomfortable. Liang Lidong can tolerate much harsher environments, but that doesn't mean he likes such places.
He was about to leave the slums, when Joan of Arc's voice sounded in the psychic passage: "Master, you are followed by two people, and I have been paying attention to them for a while. ”
"Someone stalking?" Liang Lidong asked, "When did it start?" ”
"It didn't take long for you to come out of the killer guild."
Liang Lidong took a few more steps, and then quickened his pace into an alley. Two people from behind hurriedly trotted to the alley, but they soon discovered that the alley was actually a dead end, and the two looked around for a while, and were surprised to find that there was no one here, and their target was gone.
While the two stalkers were surprised, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind them, and they looked back to see that the target was actually behind them, and then they each received a punch in an instant, one fainted, and the other rolled around on the ground with his nose in his hands.
Liang Lidong walked over, grabbed the collar of the unstunned person with one hand, and pressed it heavily against the wall, the tremendous force almost stuning the stalker. In order to catch these two trackers, Liang Lidong even wasted a 'phase shift' magic scroll, he was quite distressed, money is a trivial matter, the key is that the success rate of this magic to make a scroll is not high, it is a bit troublesome.
"Tell me, who told you to follow me?" Liang Lidong looked at the other party coldly.
The stalker coughed violently a few times, and finally took a breath, and said: "Don't kill me, my lord, I just want to steal some money from you, and I have no intention of following you at all, and no one instructs me." ”
"You treat me as an idiot." Liang Lidong pointed to the red magic robe on his body: "As long as you see this dress, everyone knows that I am a spellcaster, if you thieves are not instructed by anyone, if there is no huge reward, how can you dare to follow me...... It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'm a spellcaster, I can search for your soul, and I can find out after I kill you, but it's more troublesome. ”
Liang Lidong smiled gloomily, grabbing a black ball of magical elemental substance in his hand. In fact, he doesn't know how to search for such a high-level magic as a soul at all, but he is a spellcaster, and ordinary people have a natural fear of spellcasters, and he says that ordinary people will believe it first.
The man immediately broke down, and he was so frightened that tears and snot flowed out together: "I said, I say, don't play with my soul...... It was the lord of the castle who asked us to follow you. He promised us a reward of one gold coin, Lord Spellcaster, you let us go, and we will give you all the money......"
