Stray - Chapter 263

    The disaster comes again

    Godwin Lopez is waiting at the Mercenary Guild headquarters.

    The agreed time with Oliver is three o’clock in the afternoon, but the horizon happened to have an important task to finish in the morning. After submitting the instructions related to the mission, Godwin simply ate lunch at the Mercenary Guild headquarters, and decided to finish all the things before leaving.

    If the general leader information is updated, the mercenary guild usually does not ask for witnesses. However, although the Tin Soldiers mercenary group has disappeared from people’s sight for a long time, its prestige is still there. The Mercenary Guild will inevitably choose to deal with it carefully, and Godwin is not surprised by such a development.

    Don’t say anything else, just the missing commander Flint Lopez is still one of the hot topics of chatting after the mercenaries are full.

& nbsp; It disappeared.

    Even if he doesn’t know the truth about the past, Godwin doesn’t think Flint is really as “inadequate and poaching for fame” as the Albans suggest.

    Rumours are never trusted.

    The head of Horizon sighed and recalled the lover whose cousin sacrificed himself at the bottom of the abyss for a few seconds.

    It’s a pity that he hadn’t even spoken much to Nemo Wright before that.

    He only knows Horizon’s most lively First Mage, and has been sullen for the past half month – Debbie Wright liked to chat about her family in Road Sign Town when she first joined Horizon. While the other members of the group were spending their money and enjoying themselves, the little girl held her purse tightly.

    “I have to find an opportunity to send some to my family. Head, I have to save a lot of money to give my eldest brother a surprise!” She said at the time.

    However, now, the young female mage who has always been with him directly took a long vacation and locked herself in the room. Debbie took a small bag of gold coins and counted them silently, her eyes were always red.

    For some reason, the empty reception room of the headquarters suddenly made Godwin feel a little irritable. He went to buy a bottle of light fruit wine with a very low degree near the headquarters, sipped it in the inconspicuous shadow, and looked at the road covered by the afternoon sun.

    Different from Debbie, who was serious and sad, Oliver Ramon directly played and disappeared after contacting himself once. If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party asked him to send an identity certificate instead of a dissolution application, Godwin would have doubted that his cousin would have lost his mind because of this, and he would have been silent like Flint.

    Until a few days ago, the shivering silly parrot in the tumbleweed opened Godwin’s window with its beak and threw a letter directly in. The letter asked him to come to the Mercenary Guild headquarters to meet today and complete the final certification procedures – unlike the inexplicably arrogant parrot, the tone of the letter was very polite.

    Oliver Ramon even asked him the price of Horizon’s lost wages in advance, with seriousness between the lines.

    Godwin took a sip of cider and sighed again.

    Although Ramon didn’t know what he was going to do, he still sent the thick envelope marked “Tumbleweed” to the mercenary guild headquarters at the appointed time.

    Now there is a sequelae of this behavior.

    Outside the alley where he stood, the mercenaries were already crowded, waiting to see the true face of the son of Flint Lopez.

     Naturally, Godwin did not spread the information, but half a month had passed since the letter of proof was sent to the Mercenary Guild headquarters.

    This is not a state secret, and the interior of the mercenary guild is not an airtight wall. Half a month is enough for the news to spread, covering most of the continent.

    To this day, Godwin had no idea what Oliver wanted to do. He crushed the empty bottle to dust with magic, and clapped the ashes on his hands. The conversations of the mercenaries were backlogged together, buzzing non-stop, as if there were more than a dozen huge poisonous beehives around his head.

    “I heard from Tom’s sweetheart that Flint Lopez’s son is coming here today to complete the certification procedures – I’m here, isn’t that Lopez’s son dead long ago? ?”

    “Who knows? Maybe Lopez used some sorcery. Wasn’t there a guy in the Tin Soldier who looked like a high-level demon, maybe…”

    “Don’t forget the reason why Oliver Lopez became the Black Badge, conspiring with the demon believer to kill his father. Does that mean he killed Flint Lopez? I God!”

    “I’m almost starting to sympathize with Godwin – well in front of the Horizon’s head, such a terrible cousin out of nowhere. According to the rules, as the Lopez family Man, it’s really not easy for him to dismiss the proof. If it was me, I definitely didn’t want to have anything to do with that dangerous black seal.”

    Godwin took a step back into the alley, frowning.

    “The calamity team that was circulated before is also tumbleweed. Those people are really capable of tossing. But I said, the leader of the tumbleweed is the boy of the Lopez family, I can really say It makes sense. Didn’t they guard the scout team not long ago? As a result, the reconnaissance team was half dead, and the Pope of the Radism did a superficial effort and didn’t even dare to let a fart-“

    “Hey! Even if you don’t believe in slander, can you show some respect for my beliefs?”

    In the bustling crowd, the short mercenary who was chatting gave the tall man a kick.

    “Not necessarily, didn’t they die a member not long ago? They also stuffed a parrot into the team, which is crazy.” The short man grumbled in opposition, sounding a little angry.

    “You don’t know that.”

    The tall man squeezed forward again, lowering his voice. It was a pity that he was less than ten paces away from Godwin at the moment, and Godwin leaned casually towards the old wooden box in the alley, still hearing it clearly.

    “It was Oliver Lopez’s little lover who died, some say it was a demon warlock. Bah, there’s no normal demon warlock like that! I have relatives in Signpost – that Wright turned out to be A library clerk has a pretty face and no magical talent. You know, at most, you can be a demon believer.”

    “His…but the other tumbleweeds…”

    “Yeah, don’t say Ann Savage. The apostate Knight Commander Cross, whoever goes to which team and which team is dead ‘Viper’ Jesse, who doesn’t have more background than Wright.”

    “Tumbleweed also gave Wright a powerful staff.” A new voice joins the conversation, “If Wright and Flint Lopez’s son are like that… “

    “The head of the regiment is worried that his lover can’t protect himself and will die in a dangerous mission.”

    “Isn’t this still dead in the mission. Is the abyss a place to go? It must be so dangerous that they have to abandon the one who is holding back.”

    “Alas…”

    “Speaking of which, Savage is also a ruthless character. Before that, she looked mysterious and refused the invitation of the big mercenary group. I didn’t think it was Her Royal Highness, mother, if I had known—”

     “What did you know? It’s just a woman who murdered her blood relatives and usurped the throne.”

    Another new voice joined in, a thick voice with a bit of sharp anger.

    “Either she was controlled by Oliver Lopez. It’s okay to fight between men. She is a woman who has been living abroad for many years. Is that golden stool upstairs?”

    “This is too much. According to the rules, she is not legal…”

    “You’re not Alban, are you? I tell you, boy. Alban’s new rules the other day have made his attitude towards demons a lot easier. This is what a normal person should do. I admit that it was harsh before, but you know, it is better to kill by mistake than to appease the possible danger – they must have something to do with the abyss, how can there be a black chapter team with goats! Cult worship, absolutely Cult worship.”

    “…Speaking of which, they were quite low-key before. Why did they suddenly release the news with such fanfare?”

    “Who knows? Well, no, everyone is crowded here to watch the fun. If you ask casually, it must be a look at Oliver Lopez’s plan.”

    Familiar breath appeared in the distance, Godwin Lopez tore his cape and walked out of the dark alley. The few mercenaries who were still chatting in the crowd immediately closed their mouths and looked away instantly.

    Godwin snorted, raised his eyes, and looked to the end of the road.

    There are only four figures, at first glance, this team is a bit lonely.

    Oliver Ramon walked at the forefront, and the black armor reflected a little dim light. The skeleton helmet full of scratches covered most of his face, and there was no expression on the exposed face. Tumbleweed’s “extremely vicious” head led a sturdy black horse and walked straight to the headquarters of the mercenary guild without squinting.

    On his left, Ann Savage covered the lower half of her face with a scarf. The Queen of Alban still wore her dark, plain leather armor, with her hunting spear behind her back. A grey parrot rested on her shoulder, with no sign of any entourage by her side.

    On Oliver’s right hand, Jesse, the “Viper” who was just mentioned, was holding the Fuller goat with a frivolous smile, and rambled to Adrian Cross beside him what.

    The apostate knight commander is stubbornly wearing that monk’s uniform, his face is calm and slightly smiling. It’s just that the sharp-eyed mercenaries can find that on the edge of the high collar of the monk’s uniform, there are little hickeys printed on the skin of Adrian Cross’ neck.

    A team with a dark tone and a dangerous atmosphere, none of the members showed a kindness.

    “Oliver.” Godwin stepped forward and held out a hand.

    Oliver looked eager to respond for a second, and even raised his hand slightly. And the next second, he quickly took it back.

    Ignoring Godwin’s outstretched hand, the head of Tumbleweed just nodded coldly, and walked neatly into the gate of the Mercenary Guild headquarters.

    Godwin raised his eyebrows, and the mercenaries watching the fun took a breath.

    In five minutes.

    “I’m sorry, big brother!” After confirming that the door of the reception room was closed, Oliver quickly lowered his head.

    In the reception room, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Ann pulled the scarf down, gasped for breath, and played a throw-me-and-get game of cookies with Grey Parrot. Jesse Dillon hooked an arm around Adrian Cross’s neck, and kissed the other person’s cheek very reluctantly – to Godwin’s horror, the former judge knight acquiesced to Dylan’s absurd behavior, Not even showing the slightest disgust.

    “Explain.” Godwin folded his arms and glanced over the ring on his cousin’s left ring finger.

    “The same sentence, when everything is over, I will tell you the truth… If you still want to hear it then.”

    “That won’t kill me, Mr. Ramon.” Godwin glanced again at the black gemstone ring. “Including the performance you just deliberately alienated from me outside, I need an explanation.”

    The grayness in Oliver Ramon’s eyes was swept away, he took off the cold skeleton helmet, and his green eyes flashed happily. No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like a man who just lost his lover.

    “Oh, I think that’s a good starting point.”

    Oliver scratched his head embarrassedly, and the murderous look in front of the mercenaries was swept away. He skillfully unscrewed the black badge on his chest, summoned the mission screen, and threw it to Godwin on the opposite side.

    Godwin twitched the corners of his mouth at the spider emblem on the black badge, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the quest content on the light screen.

    [Dealing with the Plague Dragon Corpse in the Deep Frontier Forest]

    [Cleaning up the rotting swamps in the northern part of the Balai Rift]

    …

    Ten top-level tasks shimmer and are marked as being processed.

    “Are you crazy?!”

     Quickly swiping through the tasks with hair-raising titles, the head of Horizon raised his voice.

    “These are the horizons that will not be easily touched, at least five or more mercenary groups should join forces. You are only four! Wright passed away, I am sorry, but this is not for you to take yourself The reason for dying with your comrades—”

    “…about this, let’s discuss it together – we’ve decided to make the Tumbleweed the greatest **** team of our time.” The smile on Oliver’s face deepened a little, “If The two of us are too close outside, and it will have a negative impact on Horizon’s reputation.”

    After saying that, Oliver hesitated for a few seconds. He flipped through the package he was carrying and took out a small book. The book bears the emblem of Clements College, and the cover flashes rapidly in black and white. Godwin narrowed his eyes, trying to confirm the true color of the book.

    Then his eyes were firmly fixed by the writing embroidered with gold thread on the spine-

    [Emmanuel Lopez, the 368th Judge Knight Commander. 】

    “Brother, for some reason, I can’t tell you the whole truth. But about my own situation, the plan of Tumbleweed, and the father that my father left you when I was there, The reason for leaving without a word – I’m willing to tell you well, okay?”

    Godwin Lopez closed his eyes and let out a sharp breath.

    “…then let’s hear it.”

    The author has something to say:

    Becoming a real Calamity team XD

    Oli: Anyway, whatever task you pick will eventually become SSS level of difficulty, so it’s better to pick SSS level directly.

    What does that mean, friends. Ollie is getting rich! (×
