Lan Se's first impression of this person was that he was very capable and did not seem sloppy at all.
However, he did not know if it was an illusion. It was clearly noon, but the other party felt tired.
The easiest way to recruit people was money, followed by favors. However, to be honest, he felt that it was unlikely for the person in front of him to succeed with money. In any case, if the other party really had Exploration 8, would he be short of money? As long as he could find some antiques, it wouldn't be a problem for him to make a fortune.
Favor? He had just arrived in this city, so he was afraid that no one in the Oda family would know him except for him, who had played the game before.
However, he decided to give it a try no matter what.
The noisy tavern instantly quieted down when they arrived. Ever since Lan Se killed six famous hooligans yesterday, everyone knew that there was a demon who liked to wear plain clothes and liked to go shopping in the city.
Afraid that they would be killed, some people with some connections bought Lan Se's portrait from Oda. Many merchants also hung her portrait in their shops to avoid accidents. This way, even if they did not buy it, they would know what Lan Se looked like after walking around outside.
No one had expected Lan Se to appear here. After all, it had only been a day. However, when they saw the person behind her, many of them revealed expressions of realization. Some of the people who did not know the identity of the unlucky person quietly asked the people around them about the situation.
'Oh! It was that guy! He liked to run around for no reason. Did he offend the Oda family? How unlucky!
Although Lan Se looked like she was in a trance, who knew if she would suddenly fly into a rage?
Therefore, he maintained his trembling appearance and did not even dare to speak, afraid of disturbing the other party.
The other guests in the hall also maintained a strange silence. Everyone sat silently at the table, afraid that they would be misunderstood if they suddenly stood up.
"Right! You…"
After thinking about many unrelated things, he finally realized that everyone was waiting for him.
Looking at the quiet tavern, he felt a little embarrassed. After clearing his throat, he was about to speak when he was stunned by the other party's retort.
"Yes, sir! Alright! My lord! You have the final say!"
He looked at her with excitement and a look of 'You finally spoke! I've been waiting for half a day! He was also stunned for a moment when he saw the mixed expression of 'I've loved you, I have something to do tomorrow, I don't have much money left, I have class on the 8th, I didn't do my homework, I don't know how to solve this question, Lanxiang, Bao Da, save my mother, I don't regret it, I don't know how to help you, the pain I've caused you now has caused a shadow in your heart that is about 9 square centimeters.'
"Alright, since you put it that way, I do have something I want you to help with.”
After experiencing the initial fear, he was also stunned for a moment. In other words, his life was no longer in danger? How much should I charge? No! No! You can't take money! Otherwise, he would be dead meat!
However, since the other party was here to discuss something with him, he should be safe for now, right?
While comforting himself, he asked the question that concerned him the most.
"Erm, Sir, is there anything you need from me?”
" That's right. I heard that you're the most famous explorer in this area…"
"Um, sorry to interrupt, sir. What are the adventurers you're talking about? I'm just an ordinary ninja.”Although he kept telling himself not to make this fiend angry, if he didn't interrupt him now, wouldn't it be even worse if the other party completely misunderstood later? If he agreed and failed, he would probably be hung on the city wall, right?
"Oh! Don't worry, adventurers don't refer to a specific profession. They only refer to people who are good at and love adventures. So, I think what I just said should be fine, right?”
"Hungry, of course! Please continue." He awkwardly gestured for the other party to continue.
"Alright, you have to know that although I'm an official in the Oda family, I also have my own hobbies and pursuits. One of them is exploration. I like to collect some mysterious treasures. I heard that there is a cursed pearl treasure near this city.”Lan Se stopped talking and looked at him.
However, he was scared to death! Could it be that the other party knew that the treasure map was in his hands? However, it should be unlikely, right? When he was hired, Yuan Changshi was afraid that his wife would fall in love with the cursed pearl, so he didn't tell anyone what he was doing when he was hired. He was also fired by the 'witch' when Yuan Changshi went to attack the Oda family.
So, no one else should know about it except Yuan Changshi. Where did he get the information from? Or did Yuan Changshi rat me out after he was arrested? Pearls might be very precious to ordinary people, but to people like them, they were just icing on the cake.
However, no matter how it was leaked, he did not intend to continue hiding it. He could only brace himself and continue to explain.
"That…Sir! To tell you the truth, the treasure map is in my hands…However, it's not that I'm keeping it for myself. It's just that the Yuan Family's expenses were too high, so Yuan Changshi hired me to find the treasure to supplement his family's expenses. This treasure map was also given to me by him, but his original plan was to use the treasure he found as a trump card, so no one else knew about this except for him and me. However, because he went to attack the Oda family, no one in the Yuan family knew about my mission, so I was fired. When he came back, he had no time to care about me because of the Oda family's army. Therefore, this thing fell into my hands by chance.”Halfway through his sentence, he regretted it. The surprise on the other party's face did not seem to be a lie at all. The most important thing was that the other party did not have to lie at all. It seemed that the other party had only come to find him because of his reputation. It seemed that he had walked right into the trap.
Lan Se was also stunned. The maze that she thought was just a game setting actually existed, and the map seemed to be in the other party's hands. What a coincidence! However, it would save him some trouble. If he was closer, he might be able to explore it today. After all, the maze only had a few levels.
"Is it true? What a coincidence! But don't worry, I don't have much interest in the treasure. Even if we find it, it can only be considered as our cooperation. It's fine as long as we distribute it normally. Moreover, I'm considered to have intervened halfway. When the time comes, I'll give you an extra layer.”Although it was a little overbearing, he did not intend to give up this opportunity. Whether it was leveling up or the possible treasures, he was very tempted.
"Um…Sir, whatever you say. I haven't found any useful clues after I got the treasure map from Yuan Changshi. If you really find the treasure, you just have to give me some.”Originally, he wanted to give it all to the other party, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind. It wasn't that he was greedy, but from the previous conversation, he could tell that the person in front of him wasn't a greedy person, which was why he said that.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. But can you show me the treasure map?”
"Yes, my lord! I always carry this treasure map with me.”After saying that, he took out the treasure map and handed it to Lan Se. However, he kept observing her expression when he handed it to her.
When Lan Se received the treasure map, she did not expect the system to issue another mission. After forcefully pushing Bell Girl, it showed that she had not reached the next stage, so she could not accept the second mission. He did not expect to receive a new mission, and this mission seemed much more reliable.
[Treasure map obtained. Side quest obtained: Pearl Treasure.]
side mission
[Mission Target: Pearl Treasure]
[Mission Requirements: Attack the maze and reach the destination]
[Reward: 100 EXP, 100 System Coins]
Although he didn't know what System Coins were, it should be unlocked after completing the mission, right? However, it seemed that the quest was quite rewarding. Previously, he had wasted a lot of experience because he had not changed his class. Now, he would not waste it.
Besides the rewards on the surface, he could also obtain a lot of unexpected rewards, such as treasures in the maze and the experience of wild monsters. He should be able to level up after conquering the maze, right? If he was lucky, he might be able to level up in the maze.
"This treasure map seems a little familiar…It seems like there is something similar in the Yuan Family's treasure vault, but I just thought it was the work of a certain artist and didn't pay much attention to it.”Even though he had received the map to his destination after receiving the quest, he still needed to find a reason, right?
He did not expect the other party to actually know the clues! To be honest, he didn't care too much at first. After all, even he couldn't find any clues. So what if he saw it? No matter how rich the treasure was, it had nothing to do with him if he couldn't retrieve it. However, he didn't expect the other party to really have a clue, and it was even in the Yuan Family's treasure vault.
" Is this considered darkness under the light? That guy was really stupid. He clearly had clues in his treasure vault, but he still came to ask me for help. However, if he was not stupid, he would not have been captured. However, the most important thing now was the treasure.'As he thought about it, he looked at her with anticipation.
"I'll return this to you first. I've already memorized the route map. I'll go back to the Yuan Family's treasure vault to retrieve the item that seems to be a clue. You should also go prepare the items that might be useful and wait for me at the Heavensguard Pavilion's entrance.”
After hearing the other party's words, he nodded. Although he did not know what the destination was like, it was never wrong to be careful. Even if he really found the destination, he would remind the other party to be prepared even if the other party did not say it. It seemed that the other party had some common sense, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Alright, I'll go and prepare it now."
The two of them chatted for a while before parting at the entrance of the tavern. After the two of them left, the tavern warmed up a little, but no one dared to speak loudly and kept their voices low.
(You asked me why I added an update ~ I'm in a good mood ~3500. Speaking of which, I'm having dinner with my best friend on Saturday. Should I order him or him?) He actually asked me if I can bring a girl to a gay gathering?）
