"Are … are all adventurers so fast …" Ceci was already out of breath before they even left the city, but she still stubbornly followed Li Huailin.
"Big Sis, can you go back to sleep?" Li Huailin asked. "Why are you following me?"
If Li Huailin really wanted to shake her off, it would be a matter of minutes. However, Li Huailin knew that it would be useless if he did not persuade her to go home now. She knew where he was going, and even if she ran slower, she would still be able to catch up.
"Don't mind me … Phew … I just want to see how you adventurers do quests," Ceci said, panting heavily as she supported herself against the mud wall.
"Why?" Li Huailin asked. "I mean, it's useless even if you see it …"
"I've always been curious …" Ceci said. "I've always heard people say that adventurers are different from us natives. I've always wanted to see what's different, but there are too few records of it in the books …"
"Curious? You're curious? "Li Huailin asked curiously.
"What's so strange about it?" Ceci asked curiously. "To put it nicely, it's the desire to know."
"That's why it's strange. Why do you have the desire to know?" Li Huailin thought for a moment. "Forget it. It seems like I'm overthinking it. Maybe this NPC is designed to be a studious child … Alright, I'm a little curious about you now. I'll wait for you. Let's walk slowly."
"No need … I don't want to interfere with your quest. Just mind your own business. I'll follow you," Ceci said stubbornly.
"I want to walk slowly now. How I move is none of your business. After all, I'm not a citizen of this city, am I right, Castellan?" Li Huailin said.
"That's true. I didn't expect you to be such a gentle person," Ceci said with a smile.

"But why do I feel a little annoyed …" Ceci said strangely.
"What's over there?" Li Huailin changed the topic and pointed to a white three-story building across the river. This building looked like a supermarket plaza in reality. It was square and looked very different from the architectural style of the city.
"Oh, that's an auction house," Ceci said. "Shouldn't there be one in the main city?"
"Oh, there's an auction house here too?" Li Huailin asked. Moke City didn't have an Auction House, and this was the first time Li Huailin had heard that an Auction House wasn't a building unique to the main city.
"Of course, Muryek City is also the largest city in the south, okay? Do you think it's like any other small city? All the facilities here are complete, okay? "Ceci immediately said." I've prepared a lot for adventurers like you. "
"That's why the building looks so weird. Did you build it?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yeah, what do you think?" Ceci said proudly.
"It doesn't match at all …" Li Huailin said. "You should at least look at the architectural style around you …"
"So adventurers don't like the auction house I designed?" Ceci took out his little notebook and wrote seriously. "Which part of it don't like? I'll tear it down and rebuild it … "
"Hey hey, you despicable ruler," Li Huailin said.
"What's wrong?" Ceci asked curiously. "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing. You built it pretty well. Please don't waste the country's wealth, okay?" Li Huailin said.
"Oh, that's true …" Ceci nodded. "There's no need to tear it down. Just build another one somewhere else …"
"My head hurts when I see you rich people who build an auction house that's tens of thousands of square meters … Forget it, I'm just doing a quest. Out of sight, out of mind." Li Huailin headed south.
"The city gate is this way …" Ceci caught up with him and said, "It's closer this way."
"Oh." Li Huailin nodded and followed the direction Ceci pointed.
"Oh, can I ask you some questions?" Ceci asked as he walked.
"What questions?"
"What quest are you doing this time? Is it a normal quest, a hidden quest, or a dungeon quest? "Ceci asked as he held a little notebook in his hand. It seemed like he was going to write something down.
"None of those. It's a class advancement quest," Li Huailin replied.
"Oh, it's a class advancement quest!" Ceci shouted excitedly as he wrote. "I've heard of this before. Adventurers can go through multiple class advancement quests. Judging from your equipment, you should be a warrior. Could it be that the warrior's class advancement quest was completed near our city?"
"I don't know about others, but I'm doing a hidden class advancement quest," Li Huailin said.
"Hidden class!" Ceci was even more excited now. "I see …"
"What have you been writing since the beginning?" Li Huailin could not help but ask.
"This is my notebook. This is my current goal. I realized that there are too few books about adventurers in the library, and most of the notes are wrong. I'm going to write one myself. This is the information I've collected about adventurers." Ceci showed his notebook happily.
"Okay, okay …" Li Huailin could not be bothered to look at it. He nodded and said, "How much farther?"
"It's just up ahead … Eh …" Ceci suddenly lowered his head and wrote in his notebook while muttering, "Hmm … Adventurers' ability to predict time is very poor …"
"Hey hey, what kind of messy things are you remembering?" Li Huailin quickly said when he heard Ceci muttering to himself. "Your books are also bad for children. How are people going to misunderstand adventurers in the future?"
"Am I wrong? That person just told you how long it's going to take, but you asked me how long it's going to take the moment you came out. Isn't that bad at predicting time? "Ceci said seriously.
"I'll leave the city for two minutes. There's still three minutes to go to the place the person said. Are you satisfied now?" Li Huailin immediately replied.
"Eh? You know that? Why are you asking? "Ceci asked curiously.
"Because it's weird if two people walk together without talking. I'm just asking, okay?" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"Oh …" Ceci nodded, then crossed out a sentence on the notebook and wrote, "Adventurers like to talk when they walk together. They don't like to stay silent. They like to ask questions that they know the answer to, but the reason is unknown …"
"I feel that following me will create a huge misunderstanding about adventurers …" Li Huailin said as he saw what Ceci had written.
"Why?" Ceci asked. "Aren't you an adventurer?"
"Yes, I am …" Li Huailin said. "Alright … pretend I didn't say anything …"
The two of them walked toward the place provided by Passerby Chan. Sure enough, they saw a building in the distance. It was a building that looked like a windmill. It was built on a hillside, and next to it was a small house. Next to the house was a vegetable field the size of a basketball court surrounded by fences. Li Huailin could also see some handwritten scarecrows standing there. It was a rural scene.
"Oh, it's here." Ceci nodded. "It's a windmill farm. I would've known if you said it was here."
"Do you know it?" Li Huailin asked.
"I don't know the owner of this place, but this farm is quite famous in our area. Other farms don't have windmills like this. We mostly rely on water to grind flour, but this farm uses wind power. This isn't a common practice in the south. The owner of this farm should be from the north," Ceci analyzed.
"Looks like it's the person I'm looking for." Li Huailin nodded.
As they approached the farm, Li Huailin saw a farmer working in the field from afar. From afar, he could only tell that the person was a man, but he couldn't see his face. After walking closer, Li Huailin found out that this was an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His body was very strong. Although he was wearing an ordinary farmer's clothes, Li Huailin felt that an imposing manner was pressing down on him.
Li Huailin knew that this was no ordinary old man, because Li Huailin saw the man's name. It was the person he was looking for, Weeden Hillsmart.
Weeden stopped working the moment Li Huailin walked through the door. He locked his gaze on Li Huailin, and when he saw Li Huailin's relaxed expression, he nodded slightly.
"Who recommended you?" Weeden asked slowly. His voice sounded slightly older.
"Old Ishak," Li Huailin replied.
"Oh, it's him." Weeden nodded. "He gave me a good seedling."

"Who is she?" Weeden gestured to Ceci, who was looking at the windmill, and asked, "She doesn't look like a Swordsman. I don't think she's here to change her class. Is she your companion?"
"Oh, I met her on the road, and she insisted on following me," Li Huailin said.
"I'm the Castellan of Muryek City, Ceci Erontes Olibera. You can call me Castellan, or Sir Ceci," Ceci said as he turned his head.
"Oh, so it's the Castellan. You're as smart as the rumors say." Weeden nodded. "May I ask what you're doing here?"
"I'm here to see how adventurers do quests. Don't worry about me, I'll just watch," Ceci said.
"Huh?" Weeden was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "I see. Alright then. You over there, come in."
