"So, what the other party wants is this box with a hidden compartment? Actually, he doesn't want this secret treasure, right? " Hai Tianlan said, "Why does it sound like a TV series? Is this a spy game? What is written on that piece of paper? "
"It's really boring for this mission," Li Huailin said, "You haven't failed the mission yet, right?"
"Yes, I haven't failed." Hai Tianlan nodded. "But I'm afraid of failing. If the other party sees the secret compartment and doesn't find the note he wants, of course, I will fail the mission. My reward …"
"I'll give you 100,000," Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Huh?" Hai Tianlan was stunned.
"I'll give you 100,000 gold coins. If you forget about it, you can hand in the mission and leave immediately. The other party won't open the secret compartment in front of you, right?" Li Huailin said, "And I think the other party may not know what is in the secret compartment. This matter is not something that ordinary people can know."
"You'll give 100,000? Gold coins? " On the other side, Hai Tianlan was completely stunned. This piece of paper was too valuable. It could be exchanged for a few million RMB?
"Really." Li Huailin said, "If the other party doesn't give you a reward, I will compensate you. If he does, I won't take it back."
"Okay …" Hai Tianlan immediately nodded. What's wrong with agreeing to it? It doesn't seem to be bad for me. Anyway, I'll pretend that I don't know anything. Anyway, I really don't know what is written on the note. "I'll take it that you hired me to do the mission. Anyway, I'll keep the mission confidential. I still have some professional ethics. Don't worry. If I don't say anything, I'll pretend that I didn't see it."
"That's good." Li Huailin nodded. "Now go and hand in the mission. I have to go with you now."
"Okay. Anyway, I'll take it as you hired me. I'll listen to you," Hai Tianlan said.
"Wait … wait for a while. I have to be safe here." Li Huailin thought for a while and said, "Wait for me here. I'll find two helpers."
"Oh? What profession do you need? I know quite a few solo experts, so I can help you contact them. "Hai Tianlan said.
"I'm looking for an NPC," Li Huailin said.
As Li Huailin spoke, he ran out and took the Teleportation Array to the main city of his territory. He then ran back to the Duke's Mansion, which he hadn't visited in a long time.
"Duke, you're back!" When the guards saw that Li Huailin had returned, they immediately stood at attention. This was because Li Huailin had not returned for a long time. They did not expect that he would return and were slacking off.
"What about Bruno and Dramo?" Li Huailin asked immediately.
"Sir Lord, Sir Bruno is still leading the army and has yet to return, but Sir Dramo is in the mansion." The guard quickly replied.
"Go get Delmore," Li Huailin said.
"Yes!"
Seeing that Li Huailin was a little anxious, the guard hurried over. After a while, Dramo appeared in front of Li Huailin with a few small hops. He half-knelt and said, "Greetings, Sir Lord. Please give me your orders."
"Hurry up and get a few people to come with me," Li Huailin said. "There's something going on here."
"How many people do you need, Sir Lord? The private army is still near Graham, and it will take at least four days for them to return to the territory, "Dramo said. Li Huailin's private army had previously gone to the Demons to rob things. Although the war was over, they were still on the way back to the territory. Of course, the commanders of the private army, Bruno and Legg, were now in charge of escorting the spoils of war back, so they were not around. On the other hand, Dramo had already returned via the Teleportation Array to deal with matters first.
"I don't want a lot of people. I only want experts who keep their mouths shut," Li Huailin said.
"Understood." Dramo instantly understood what Li Huailin wanted to deal with and immediately said, "In that case, there's only me, Reggie, and Gina now."
"Alright, the three of you, hurry up and follow me," Li Huailin said.
Dramo was a man of action. He immediately turned around and flew out. After a while, three black shadows appeared in front of Li Huailin again. Of course, all three of them were present.
"Alright, stop asking questions. Hurry up and follow me," Li Huailin said.
"Yes," the three replied in unison.
After bringing the three of them to the Teleportation Array again, Li Huailin immediately returned to the bank in the main city. As expected, the people from Hai Tianlan had not left yet. They were slightly stunned when they saw Li Huailin returning with three NPCs.
"You can even bring NPCs?" Hai Tianlan had never seen anyone bring NPCs.
"If you have a noble title, you can bring them too," Li Huailin said. "They're the so-called knights."
"Oh, I see." Hai Tianlan nodded. It was better not to think about a noble title. It was too difficult.
"Let's go," Li Huailin said.
Without saying anything else, the five of them immediately set off, looking like a small party. According to Hai Tianlan's quest, the five of them were directly teleported to a city in the western part of the continent called Fankal. This was a medium-sized city in the west, located on the western border of the empire. Further west was another small human country. This place was actually not far from the Akalga City where Hai Tianlan had previously mentioned that they had encountered the NPC. In fact, according to Hai Tianlan, the NPC's original direction was very likely here.
"According to the quest description, we should be going to the Castellan's mansion here to turn in the quest," Hai Tianlan said.
"Castellan's mansion?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. He then looked at Dramo beside him and asked, "Who is the Castellan here?"
"The Castellan of Fankal City should be Viscount Modak." The one who answered wasn't Dramo, but Reggie who was beside him. Reggie was more familiar with this aspect, while Dramo didn't know.
"What's the situation with Viscount Modak?" Li Huailin asked again.
"Uh, a very ordinary noble," Reggie said after some thought. "His title was inherited from his ancestors. He himself joined the army, but it was just to gild the title. He only stayed in the army for two years before returning to inherit the title. After that, there hasn't been any other news about him. His family is relatively poor, belonging to the kind of family that's going downhill. Basically, no nobles are willing to marry him, and … there seems to be no heir for the time being."
"Such an ordinary person?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. "Is there any political activity?"
"No political activities," Reggie said after some thought. Reggie thought for a moment and said, "I've never heard of him being close to anyone during Reyne's era. After Reyne fell, the old nobles didn't dare to act recklessly. He seems to be a very law-abiding little noble."
"I don't think so," Li Huailin said. "Is this the place to hand in the mission?"
"Yes, it's really here," Hai Tianlan said.
"Alright then …" Li Huailin thought for a moment. "Dramo, follow me in. The two of you keep an eye on the situation at the gate. If you find anyone entering or leaving, note it down. If anyone leaves, capture them first, understand?"
"Yes, Lord!" the three answered in unison.
"Wow, it feels so good to be called a Lord. I want to be a Noble too," Hai Tianlan said from the other side.
"…" Li Huailin couldn't be bothered with him. The two went straight to the gate of the Castellan's mansion.
"You go." Li Huailin waved his hand, and Hai Tianlan nodded. He then walked to the guards at the gate and said, "You guys, I'm here to hand in my mission. I wonder if you can let me in."
"You're here to hand in your mission? What kind of mission? "the guard immediately asked.
"Uh … to hand in a box," Hai Tianlan replied.
"Box? Why don't I remember the Castellan giving us a mission to look for a box? "the guard asked curiously.
"Big Brother, is this the place?" Li Huailin said.
"Oh, it's here. Although I can't remember how the NPC told me how to turn in the quest, the quest system's prompt told me to come here to turn in the quest. I can't be mistaken, right?" Hai Tianlan said.
"Then why can't I go in?"
"How would I know?" Hai Tianlan said.
"What's the use of you? Get out of my way, I'll do it." Li Huailin stepped forward, took out his Grand Marshal Medal, and hung it on his chest. "Dramo, introduce."
"This is the Grand Marshal of the Nasser Empire, Nasser … Duke of Aquitaine!" Dramo announced Li Huailin's long list of titles in one breath. It was as if he had practiced it before.
The soldiers in front were dumbfounded. Even Hai Tianlan, who was connected to the side, was dumbfounded.
"Tell your Castellan to come out and see me immediately," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Duke!" The soldiers immediately returned to their senses and reported to their Castellan.
"F * ck, aren't you a little too cool? No wonder you're called Brother Awesome. "Hai Tianlan was stunned.
"That's …" Li Huailin wanted to act cool for a while, but Dramo suddenly leaned over and whispered into Li Huailin's ear, "My Lord, something's not right. The guards in front of us look a little fearful."
"Aren't they afraid of me?" Li Huailin asked.
"No, it feels like … they have a guilty conscience. Anyway, it's different from fear," Dramo said softly after some thought.
"I understand. Pretend we didn't see anything." Li Huailin nodded.
After waiting for a while, the Castellan did not come out, but the soldier returned. He looked at Li Huailin and said cautiously, "This … the Castellan isn't feeling well today. He really can't come out to greet us. Is it possible that Duke …"
"Oh?" Li Huailin smiled. "Sure, I'll go in."
