Chapter Eighty-Four: The Wind Rises Again

The disappearance of a group of thieves did not cause any waves in the stronghold, and Custer's actions were quite secretive, hiding from the eyes of many people, who did not even know that the head of the thieves' guild had launched a sneak attack on Jenn with someone, and it disappeared silently, as if it had started silently. Neither the beginning nor the end was noticed by anyone.

But Custer is not alone.

I don't know when it began, the mercenaries in the stronghold began to leave the camp quietly in groups and sneak to the cave where Jenn was. But their fate is the same, as long as they enter, there is no sound, no one is alive, no corpse is dead. At the beginning, because the matter was still secretive, only a few people were aware of it, but with the passage of time, there were more and more "missing" mercenaries, and now as long as they are not blind, they know that something is wrong.

The mercenaries were not idiots, even if they didn't react at first, watching the people around them suddenly disappear, they guessed that they were probably going to attack Jenn and them. But no one has come back alive until now, and the meaning of this is already very obvious.

Gradually, with more and more "missing" mercenaries, the stronghold became more and more calm. So many people went, and there wasn't even a single survivor, was enough to make the other mercenaries fearful. What's more, not every mercenary will want to take this money, so after a while, the fluctuations in the stronghold that were originally surging because of the bounty have quietly subsided again.

It's no wonder that these mercenaries are timid, the main reason is that the disappearance of those people is too weird, and there are no dead or dead people. It stands to reason that even if Jenn killed someone, there should be a corpse. But these mercenaries had also searched around, and they didn't see any corpses at all, let alone corpses, and the whole place was so clean that there was not even any blood. Those living people disappeared into thin air, leaving not even a trace of them. It's as if they've never been here at all, this kind of scene makes the mercenaries' scalps tingle just by watching it, you must know that even if they are attacked by underground monsters, they can still leave some stump fragments and other things!

Things got bigger and bigger, and finally, someone couldn't help but go looking for Liam Paladin, and nudge him to see what was going on inside. Could it be that Jenn killed someone and hid the body in the room? Or is it used for some cult ritual?

The stakes are very high, and this time Liam can't be regarded as invisible, so in desperation, he only needs to take a few mercenary leaders and come to Jenn's residence again.

"Liam Paladin? What a rare guest, what is the matter with you coming to me? Mistress Locks has returned? ”

Sitting on the chair, Jenn was still leisurely sipping black tea as always, while holding a book in his hand and reading leisurely. And beside him, Elise sat there as usual, reading the book in her hand intently. Bix ran around diligently, preparing dessert and black tea for Jenn and Elise. A qiē looks so normal, there is nothing strange about it.

"Master Locks hasn't come back yet."

Liam smiled wryly at Jenn's inquiry, and he looked around. Originally, this was just an ordinary cave, and you can see it all at a glance. I saw that there was nothing special around, and there were not many salutes from Jenn and the others, except for a bonfire in the center of the cave for heating, only the unquenchable flame cast by Elise for lighting. Then there were a few paddle rolls, and books neatly stacked on stone slabs. The rest are silver tea sets and cutlery, which don't look strange.

There was no blood, no corpses, and it was not easy to hide something in such a large place. And what about people who are still that big?

Seeing this, Liam didn't have any ideas. Although he said that when he heard about a large number of mercenaries, he also "chuckled" in his heart, suspecting that Jenn had made a move. But now it seems that this should not be the case. But anyway, since I'm here, I naturally have to ask.

"It's just that I have some questions for Mr. Jenn, there have been a lot of mercenaries missing recently, I wonder if you have any clue about this?"

"Missing?"

Hearing this, Jenn raised his head and glanced at Liam.

"I don't know, who knows? Maybe these guys ran away to death in the dark region again? ”

"But haven't you killed all the monsters here before?"

In the face of Jenn's answer, the mercenary who followed Liam was obviously not very satisfied, he was originally a person with a strong personality, and when he heard Jenn's answer at this moment, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to ask. Hearing the mercenary's words, Jenn glanced at him boredly, as if he were looking at a pile of garbage scattered on the side of the street.

"So a low IQ is a communication problem, and we just cleaned the surrounding area before, not the entire dark area. It's no better than the surface, and the best I can do is keep the patrol safe nearby. As for the farthest places, who cares? If anyone wants to go in and die, then just let them be. ”

"You're ..................!"

Hearing this, the fiery mercenary stretched out his hand and pointed at Jenn, but he couldn't say anything. Jenn was right, the mercenaries must have come here for profit, and after Jenn cleaned up the surrounding monsters. Many mercenaries have moved their minds to continue their adventures in the depths of the dark region. Of course, there are also some idiots who will be "lost" forever.

In the end, Liam didn't ask for anything useful, and Jenn only said that he didn't know about the missing mercenaries. And the three of them couldn't find any doubts, so they could only reluctantly say goodbye and leave.

"Hmph, a bunch of idiots, I didn't expect them to be slow to react, I thought it would take a while for these idiots to find out the problem."

When the three of them left, Jenn snorted, then he put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and walked to the wall behind the cave, and reached out to tap the wall gently. Soon, with Jenn's movements, the originally tightly sealed stone wall suddenly slid silently, showing a clean and tidy passage in front of Jenn.

With Jenn's enjoyment-loving personality, he certainly wouldn't want to live in such a dilapidated cave. In fact, after Jenn got his hands on the cave, he asked Bix and the goblins to dig a tunnel from the dungeon to connect the cave. Then a secret door was placed at the entrance. On weekdays, whenever no one is around, Jenn will take Elise and Bix back to the dungeon. If someone comes to the door, let the aliens take care of greeting. The territory near here has already allowed Jenn to unknowingly close into the scope of the dungeon, no matter how many people come, as long as they set foot on the land of the dungeon, it is impossible to hide the detection of the system.

As for the guys who came to trouble Jenn before, they had already been killed by the aliens who were ambushed here, and they were dragged to the dungeon and gnawed clean. In this regard, Jenn is naturally unwelcome, the reason why he doesn't kill is because no matter how many people he kills, the experience points are not counted on his head. And these guys themselves took the initiative to run to the dungeon realm to send warmth, that is another matter, watching the daily experience points rise gradually, Jenn is also smiling. It's just a pity that these guys are not stupid, and they stop when they sense that something is wrong, otherwise, they have free experience here every day, how good it would be.

Now I only hope that Viscount Ralph can be a little more competitive and find a few more high-level mobile experience, and the aliens on his side are about to evolve.

Thinking of this, Jenn shook his head and walked into the passageway.

"Bang Dang!!"

The exquisite, luxurious teacup just fell to the ground and smashed to pieces. On the outside, they are expensive, but now, these beautifully made tea sets have become a pile of rags.

Unfortunately, their sacrifice showed no signs of improving their owners' moods.

"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish!!"

Viscount Ralph clenched his fists and walked around the room like a caged beast, his eyes red. And beside him, Cotton was also pale and stood in the corner not daring to gasp. He now vaguely regretted his choice, the reason why he initially approached Viscount Ralph was to clean up Jenn, and to find a way back. In Cotton's view, Viscount Ralph was young and promising, with a noble background and great power. It's not much easier to deal with a small down-and-out nobleman than to crush an ant.

But I didn't expect Jenn to be so difficult to deal with, not only did he break a lot of Viscount Ralph, but even those mercenaries didn't dare to trouble him until now. Not only that, but among the nobility, Viscount Ralph's reputation has also plummeted. Ralph was not alone in coming to the stronghold. It's just that the relationship between the others and Ralph is not good, Viscount Ralph is strong and arrogant. Although the other noble heirs are not as powerful as him, in the circle of nobility, the most important thing is status. So they don't look too closely at Ralph's attitude. At this moment, seeing that Viscount Ralph was actually deflated at the hands of a down-and-out nobleman, he was naturally happy to watch the joke.

"Your Excellency......... Please be angry, this must have been done by that guy, we just need to investigate........."

"Shut up!"

Hearing Cotton speak, Ralph waved his hand with a cold face.

"Didn't that paladin go to investigate? Didn't you find anything! Damn, I've had enough! Come!! ”

Hearing Ralph's words, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler quickly ran in and saluted him respectfully.

"What do you command, sir?"

"Give me the order, and all the guards are assembled! I'm going to lead the team and take down that villain! He can stop me ten or fifty people, and I don't believe he can hold off a hundred or five hundred people!! ”

Speaking of this, Viscount Ralph also had red eyes, and a flame of anger burned deep in his heart.

"I'd like to see what he's capable of!!"
