The five of them started chasing the chicken again. However, they soon confirmed that the chicken was indeed taking them somewhere. They slowed down on purpose. They didn't expect that the chicken in front of them wouldn't speed up. However, when they sped up, the chicken also sped up. Everyone understood what was going on.
Following the chicken, the five of them quickly arrived at the center of the city, which was the entrance to the city lord's mansion. No one understood why the chicken was going to the mansion. However, there were already people waiting at the entrance of the City Lord Mansion. Of course, it was to welcome Li Huailin. Although Li Huailin didn't wear a badge, Millet had already shown her face, so Walder naturally received the news.
He had long heard that the Duke of Aquitaine liked to visit the city lords of various cities when he had nothing to do, and that the city lords he visited always ended up in a miserable state. Walder was very nervous. In order to leave a good impression, Walder directly went to the entrance to welcome the duke to show his respect.
After receiving the news that the Duke of Aquitaine was coming to the mansion, Walder slightly tidied up his clothes and waited. Soon, Li Huailin's group appeared in front of him. At first glance, Walder didn't pay attention to the people behind them, but what was up with the white chicken-like thing at the front?
Although he didn't know what was going on, when he saw Li Huailin, Walder suppressed his curiosity and immediately went up to greet him. "Duke of Aquitaine, welcome …"
"Shh, don't be noisy." Before Walder could finish, Li Huailin interrupted him and followed the chicken into the city lord's mansion without even looking at him.
"…" Walder was stunned for a long time, then hurriedly chased after Li Huailin, and the group followed the chicken into the mansion.
"That … Duke, are you catching a chicken? Do you want me to help? "Walder continued to ask.
"Who said so? Let it run." Li Huailin couldn't be bothered with Walder. He didn't bother to explain and simply waved his hand.
"Ha …" Walder really couldn't understand why the Duke of Aquitaine was running after a chicken. It looked like he was using the chicken to find something. But wasn't that the job of a dog? Besides, why did they come to my City Lord Mansion?
Although there were a lot of questions, Walder didn't dare to ask too many. The nobles of the City Lord's Mansion followed Li Huailin and the chicken around the City Lord's Mansion. After about 40 minutes, the chicken suddenly sat down and stopped moving.
"Sigh …" Everyone was stunned. "Why did he sit down? I didn't trigger any quests. "
"Could it be that you can't find it?" The Summoning Jade Emperor said.
"Quack, quack, quack …" The chicken actually nodded its head.
"Hm?" Li Huailin looked at Walder. "What's your name again?"
"Duke, I am Walder, the City Lord of Ximo City, Kellin …" Walder immediately said.
"Walder, is there any place in the mansion that you haven't been to? Is there a treasure room or something?" Li Huailin asked.
"Duke, you've been to almost everything in the mansion," Walder immediately said.
"Then what treasures or people are you hiding?" Li Huailin asked.
"Sir, I really don't have anything," Walder immediately said. "I do have some valuable antiques and playthings in my house, but you've already seen them. As for treasures … there's nothing special …"
"So what are you looking for?" Li Huailin directly picked up the chicken from the ground.
"…" Seeing Li Huailin talking to the chicken, Walder didn't know how to react. Why is this Duke of Aquitaine so weird? Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't see it.
"Quack, quack, quack …" The white chicken tried its best to wave its wings, as if trying to express something, but of course, it couldn't be understood.
"Qianzai, translate for us," Li Huailin said directly.
"Why the hell do I know chicken language? No, it's frog language?" Millennium said.
"Can you not dwell on this question?" The Summoning Jade Emperor roared, "City Lord, has anything strange happened in your residence recently? Is there anything special in this period of time?"
"Something special?" City Lord Waldge was slightly taken aback. "Uh, something did happen at home …"
"Huh? Really? What happened? "Li Huailin immediately asked.
"This …" Walder thought for a moment before saying, "Duke, about this matter, uh … how should I put it … Duke, do you know of the Condal Kingdom in the west?"
"Condal?" Of course, Li Huailin hadn't heard of it before. "Just explain it clearly. Who cares if I know or not."
"Oh, it's like this. The people from Condal Kingdom actually want to establish a relationship with our country, probably to ask for reinforcements. They're currently at war with another country, but they don't have any way to meet His Royal Highness directly, so they want to use me as a middleman," Walder said.
"Okay, I understand. In other words, you secretly agreed to this matter … and probably accepted a bribe …" Li Huailin deduced from this. Seeing Walder's attitude, he immediately understood why he was so hesitant.
"No, no, no, Duke, I'm …" Walder immediately wanted to explain, but he was immediately interrupted by Li Huailin.
"Wait! Bribe! "Li Huailin suddenly had a flash of inspiration." Where's the thing? "
"Caw, caw, caw …" At this moment, the chicken suddenly became excited as if asking Walder the same question. Seeing this, Li Huailin felt that his question was correct. It seemed like the thing in the bribe was what the chicken was looking for.
"No, Duke, it's …"
"Okay, I got it. What you accept has nothing to do with me. The thing I'm looking for is in your bribe. If you don't tell me, I'll tear you apart!" Li Huailin roared.
"Yes, Duke," Walder immediately said. "But … the thing is missing …"
"Missing?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. "How did it go missing?"
"In fact, the other party's gift didn't even arrive here. It should have arrived today, but I just received news that the other party's transport team was attacked by something while passing through Sylvaine Forest. I'm planning to post a quest at the Adventurer's Guild to get someone to help investigate this matter …" Walder said.
"What?" Li Huailin was stunned. "Wait, you said you're going to post a quest at the Adventurer's Guild?"
"Yes." Walder nodded. "Sylvaine Forest isn't under my jurisdiction, so I can't go there to investigate. I can only seek help from the Adventurer's Guild."
"Wait, send me the quest," Li Huailin immediately said.
"This … Yes, Duke." Walder nodded, then passed a piece of paper to Li Huailin that he had prepared for the Adventurer's Guild.
System Notification: Walder Chabo has issued an A-rank quest: Find the Lost Item.
Before everyone could accept it, another system notification popped up.
System Notification: Quest's initial condition has been met. Triggered S-rank hidden quest: Evil Triumphs Over Good.
"Eh?" This quest stunned everyone. "S-rank hidden quest? Isn't that a little too much?"
The few of them had formed a team several times, but the most difficult mission was AA level. The sudden appearance of an S-level mission was indeed a bit exaggerated. Li Huailin was also shocked. The S-level missions that they had received before were all exaggerated missions like saving the human empire. This chicken carrying them could trigger an S-level mission. He didn't think that it would be possible. Of course, that S-rank quest was a main quest, so it might be more difficult. But it was still an S-rank hidden quest.
"No matter what, let's accept it first," Jade Emperor Summoning said.
No one had any objections, so they accepted the quest.
System Notification: S-rank hidden quest accepted: Evil Triumphs Over Good -1
Quest Requirement: Go to Sylvaine Forest to find the missing treasure.
System Notification: The treasure offered to Castellan Walder has been mysteriously lost in Sylvaine Forest. Please proceed to investigate. However, it seems that this mysterious white bird is also looking for the treasure. So, will you help the white bird or Castellan Walder?
Quest Reward: Depending on your choice, you will receive different quest rewards.
"Oh, it's also a choice quest?" Li Huailin pointed at Walder. "In other words, after we find the treasure and return it to this guy, we'll take his reward."
"Then, if we give it to this chicken, we can continue with the quest …" Jade Emperor Summoning said.
"Of course, we'll continue with the quest," Li Huailin said, then patted Walder's shoulder. "Little Wa …"
"Little Wa?" Walder was stunned.
"I want that thing. Don't pat someone else to find it, understand?" Li Huailin immediately said.
"This … Yes, Your Grace." Walder didn't say anything. After all, it was something given to him by someone else. If Li Huailin wanted it, he naturally wouldn't fight with Li Huailin for it. Otherwise, wouldn't he be courting death?
"Mm-hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. "Then we … It's getting late. I don't think this quest will be easy and will take up a lot of time. Why don't we call it a day?"
After saying that, Li Huailin picked up the white chicken from the ground and placed it in Walder's hand. "Little Wa, I'll leave this chicken with you for now. I'll come and get it tomorrow. If it runs away, you'll be in trouble. Do you understand?"
"Y-yes, Your Grace." What else could Walder say? He could only nod.
"Good," Li Huailin said. "We'll gather here at 8 AM tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"Sure. The league is suspended anyway."
"Sure," Anran said.
