"Who is it?" A voice came from the courtyard.

The owner of the voice should be very young, at least Sean can hear the immaturity of the other party's voice, as if he has not yet entered the voice change period.

When Sean heard the voice, he knew that the person who lived here was indeed the one who could start the mission of the Sanctuary. It's just that when I was in the game, the Sanctuary quest was not like Sean, who directly skipped the opener to enter the step of finding the ascetic, but had to complete a series of main quests, and finally led the player to come here and accept the opener's quest.

And then there's the real Sanctuary mission.

The sound of footsteps came from far and near.

Sean suddenly finds himself a little nervous, and he doesn't know if it's because of Gollum or because he's discovered a new secret.

But without giving Sean much time to prepare, the side door to the courtyard was opened.

When Sean turned his head to look, he was stunned for a moment.

The person who opened the door was not Hercules, but a young man.

It's just a coincidence that Sean knows this young man.

"You ......" The other party was also obviously stunned when he saw Sean, obviously not expecting to see Sean here.

"I'm coming to Master Hercules." Sean's brow furrowed slightly, he also didn't expect to meet this young man here.

For this young man, Sean can't say that he has a good feeling. The original encounter was only because the people on Sean's side were injured and didn't want to make trouble much, otherwise in another situation, Sean would not have been able to let this group leave intact. At the very least, they have to pay a certain price.

The aura emanating from Sean's body, the young man could obviously feel Sean's strength becoming stronger. But what the specific level, he can't see. However, Sean had a disgruntled look on his face. He could still tell, so he just snorted, said nothing, turned and walked into the courtyard, but the door did not dare to close.

Sean walked directly into the courtyard through the side door.

Just as soon as he entered the door and saw the situation in the courtyard, Sean's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

There were ten people in the courtyard.

In addition to Hercules, who was Sean's target, there were two groups of people.

The reason why it is said that there are two groups of people is because the positions occupied by the two sides are clear. The distance between each other is quite wide. Hercules, on the other hand, had a chaise longue and lay in the middle of the two groups, reading a book leisurely and drinking some unknown liquid, while casually pointing at the two groups of people.

These two groups of people are actually coming to Hercules for cultivation.

The man who had opened the door for Sean just now quickly returned to the group on the left.

This group of people, Sean happens to know - say acquaintance. Actually, it's not quite accurate, it's just that there was a not-so-pleasant encounter. And as soon as he saw this group of people, Sean couldn't help but think of Hampson, and now several years have passed. Hampson's whereabouts are still unknown, and according to the speculation of the Void Realm, the chance of Hampson's death has exceeded seventy percent. It was just that Hampson's body or relics were not found for a day. Sean refused to believe that Hampson was dead, so the Void Realm did not dare to stop searching. Instead, the search within the realm of the Kingdom of Lane has been intensified.

There are five people in the group on the left. It's a standard combat configuration team, the same mysterious team that Sean encountered in Hakons Town before.

There are two lower-ranking gold powerhouses and three high-ranking silver masters in the team.

Now that three or four years have passed, the strength of the five people in this team has not changed too significantly.

The shield warrior who was the captain and the weapon master who held a spear and a sword were still lower gold, but they might have reached the peak of lower gold, and their momentum was a little condensed. As for the magician, the priest of the Morning Light Church, and the thief, they are still the masters of the upper silver, and the priest of the Morning Light Church is at the tipping point of stepping into the golden realm.

Generally speaking, it is much easier for a priest to rise than the other two faction professions, as long as their faith is religious and firm enough.

Among the priests, the stage from the lower bronze to the lower gold is the easiest stage to improve, and generally speaking, the pastors who can become the lower gold realm before the age of thirty are qualified to enter the high-level power circle of the church. However, being qualified does not mean that you can actually enter, because the upper echelons of the church need people who are scheming and can judge the situation, not a group of fanatics, who can only be used as cannon fodder.

Just like Heatley, she's only twenty-three or four years old now, but she's about to step into the Sanctuary realm. In terms of strength and status alone, it is difficult to find a person who can be compared with the entire Life Church - the profession of the priest is difficult to define genius, because their strength is not as difficult as the other two career systems, so the definition of genius is generally judged by the steady speed after the improvement of his realm and the mastery of the new divine arts.

Sean couldn't be sure if the pastor of the Morning Light Church in front of him was a genius, but at least he knew that the other party was qualified to enter the Cardinal Council of the Morning Light Church.

If there is anyone in the group of five on the left who really deserves Sean's attention, it is the pastor of the Morning Light Church.

The group on the right is one less than the group on the left, only four people, and all of them are women. However, the momentum exuded by these four people is much stronger than the five people on the left, almost all of them are powerhouses of the lower gold, but the aura of two of them is not particularly stable, and it should be that they have just been promoted to the realm of the lower gold.

"Who are you?" After seeing Sean come in, the group on the left obviously raised their guard, and Hercules suddenly asked.

"Hello, Master Hercules, I'm Sean. Connelly. Sean bowed slightly to Hercules, a boy who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his actions, anyway, the world of the Miracle Continent was originally respected by the masters, since even Beth asked Sean to be careful of this person, of course he would not be presumptuous, not to mention that he was a player and not a native of this world.

"Sean?" Hercules scratched his head, as if he thought the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

On the contrary, it was the two groups of people on the left and right, showing slightly shocked looks, obviously not expecting that the Void Grand Duke would appear here.

"Well, did you come to me for something?" Hercules thought for a while, but he couldn't quite think about it, so he simply didn't think about it, and asked directly.

Sean thought for a moment, and suddenly realized that he didn't know how to speak. He wasn't quite sure about the relationship between Hercules and Beth, and if the two were hostile to each other, wouldn't Sean be unlucky if he said it? But if he didn't say that, how would Hercules answer if he asked how he knew about him?

If it's just for the Sanctuary mission, Sean can still find an excuse, after all, Sean also did the main quest in the game, so he still remembers some links. But this time, the main purpose of his visit to Hercules was not a Sanctuary mission, but about Gollum.

"I'd like to be able to talk to you privately, Master." Sean thought about it for a moment, but decided to stabilize Hercules in another way first.

Hercules didn't reply immediately, but looked at Sean lightly, but it was such an understatement in his eyes that made Sean suddenly feel a terrible pressure pressed on his body. In the face of Hercules' gaze, Sean also had to use the power of his fighting spirit to start resisting this pressure with all his might, but what Sean didn't expect was that under Hercules's gaze, his fighting energy consumption was actually so fast, and the fighting energy bar in the status bar was rapidly declining at a speed that was completely visible to the naked eye.

Almost just as Sean was about to take it anymore, Hercules suddenly withdrew his oppressive gaze.

Sean's face turned pale suddenly, and the energy bar of the fighting spirit was only the last one percent!

Sean's heart suddenly froze, and he instantly understood that Hercules had seen through his fighting spirit just now.

"Okay, come with me." Hercules nodded slightly, then jumped out of the chaise longue and walked forward like a little old man with his hands behind his back.

And Sean naturally hurriedly followed. He still doesn't know why Hercules did that to him just now, this is obviously different from the situation in the game, when the player receives a task from Hercules, there are not so many cumbersome dialogues and processes, it is nothing more than two or three sentences to send a person. Sean originally thought that looking for Hercules to save Gollum should be no different from this, but he didn't expect that it would be a dismount as soon as he came, which made Sean quickly adjust his mentality.

After entering the main building, Hercules quickly led Sean to a study.

"Now you can say it, right?" Hercules sat down on a soft sofa, and the whole person immediately sank in, but he narrowed his eyes pleasantly, and seemed to enjoy it very much, "Don't worry, no one can hear our conversation here, not even gods." ”

Sean didn't hesitate, since Hercules said so, he immediately took Gollum out of his waist bag, and then said in a deep voice: "Please help the master save him, no matter what the price is, I am willing to accept it!" (To be continued......)
