News of the disappearance of the Orb of the Holy Synod shook the Holletta royal family and the Church. They immediately launched a large-scale search operation. At the same time, all the knights and clergymen who were responsible for guarding the Orb were subjected to strict investigation. There were sentries set up by the Church and the Royal Knights around the Beinz Blood Lake. Now, the lockdown in the area had become even stricter. Even individual mercenaries were prohibited from entering. Anyone who wanted to enter had to be a mercenary group or a knight who had accepted the search mission. This was also one of the few cases where the authorities recruited mercenaries on a large scale. This showed how serious the whole thing was.
Things about the Goddess and the ancient civilization in this world seemed to be very interesting. It also piqued Vivian's interest. As a veteran vampire who had lived through the entire history of human civilization, Vivian's favorite thing was to study the history of other people. She asked Becky about many things about ancient legends. In the end, the mercenary girl began to doubt whether the people in front of her were normal. They even took so long to ask the most basic questions. Fortunately, Becky was a standard mercenary. She was a little careless. Most of the time, she only cared about one thing: whether it would be profitable for her and whether it would harm her. As long as she was safe, she did not care about the flood outside. Even if Y'zaks transformed and went to the Molten City, as long as no one put up a bounty, Becky would not care...
The group had decided to go to the Beinz Blood Lake, and Becky would tag along. On one hand, Becky wanted to take the opportunity to see if she could get lucky enough to get the unprecedented bounty: a manor and a noble title. As long as the team found the Orb, everyone would get a share. The bounty was enough to tempt any mercenary. On the other hand, even if she could not find the Orb, she could take the opportunity to collect some rare materials around the Blood Lake. Now that the area around Beinz was under lockdown, the search for the Orb was overwhelming. Therefore, the supply of all kinds of magic materials in Beinz was tight. Becky felt that there was a business opportunity in this. Hao Ren and the others had asked Becky to be their guide, but in fact, Becky also needed a group of people like Hao Ren and the others. She needed a team, and it would be best if it was a newbie who knew nothing about the mercenary business. She was used to being alone, and she really did not want to form a team with a group of experienced mercenaries. Moreover, experienced mercenaries might not be willing to accept outsiders into their team at this time. She and Hao Ren and the other four hit it off immediately.
As for the strength needed to go to Beinz, Becky did not have to worry about it. The five of them could teleport all the way from the Northern Empire to Holletta without carrying anything. How could they be weak?
They walked to a fork in the road leading to the entrance of the town. Becky waved to Hao Ren and the rest and said, "Let's part ways here. I need to go home and prepare for the trip. By the way, do you guys need to prepare? Is it okay to leave today? "
"It's not too late. We have nothing to do anyway," said Hao Ren with a smile. "Of course, if you have personal matters, we can wait until tomorrow."
Becky thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine. Let's leave today. You guys can wait for me outside the main entrance of the town. We'll meet at noon. We'll leave at noon and head west along the grassland. If everything goes well, we'll reach a small mountain village in the evening. I know the village chief there. We'll rest for the night and then head west along the mountains at the border of the grassland. This is the shortest route."
Becky rattled off a lot of questions about the itinerary. She did not care whether Hao Ren knew the names of the places or not. She then turned and walked in another direction: where her house was.
"She's really a doer." Hao Ren looked at Becky's back and muttered.
Lily ran around Hao Ren in circles. "Mr. Landlord, Mr. Landlord! Let's find a place to play! It's not easy to get to the otherworld. I want to buy some local specialties back … "
"You need money too." Nangong Wuyue clapped her hands. "Oh, I just thought of this. Where are we going to get some money from this world? We can't even find a place to eat now! "
Hao Ren and Vivian jumped out of their thoughts of exploring the otherworld. The first thing they realized was that they had no money! And they did not know where to earn it …
"Don't even think about cheating. We'll talk about it after we meet up with Becky at noon. If not, we can borrow some from her. I'll bring something valuable the next time I come here," said Hao Ren as he looked around. "There's still a long time before noon. Let's split up and go to different parts of the town to find out more about this world. Be careful not to attract too much attention. Vivian will pay more attention to the Letta Runes. The rest of you can do as you please. Oh, by the way, Lily, you come with me. "
Hao Ren finally behaved like a 'leader' when he was assigning tasks. Lily was curious. "Why do you want me to go with you?"
"You don't want to?"
"Nope. I'm happy to be with Mr. Landlord." Lily happily swayed in front of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren spread out his hands and said, "That's fine. Can't I pick someone to be my bodyguard at random?"
He was too embarrassed to tell the truth. He really did not dare to let Lily out of his sight. She had been in a state of excitement ever since she entered The Plane of Dreams. If he let her go, she might run off somewhere out of the range of mental synchronization. Don't forget that there were four people in the team who relied on Hao Ren's "dream wifi" to move around in The Plane of Dreams. The MDT had calculated that the furthest the five of them could go in The Plane of Dreams was about the size of the town, at most a circle bigger. And as a husky, Lily would definitely have the motivation to run all the way to the prairie once she was out of sight …
Now, Hao Ren hated the fact that he could not put a collar on the maiden and put a chain on her.
So they split up and went in the direction they were interested in. Vivian went to the largest spire in the town while Hao Ren wandered around a quiet street with the husky. He first found a quiet place and opened the lid of the kettle to let Lil Pea breathe. The little one curiously looked out and was shocked to see such a vast and unfamiliar environment. Ever since she was cooked by Lily, Lil Pea had been living in the house. She thought that the whole world was divided into four parts: the guest room, the bathroom, the kitchen, and the bedroom. Now that she saw the vast sky outside, the little mermaid was a little stunned.
However, the little one just stared blankly at the vast world outside and did not have the slightest intention of jumping out of the kettle. This surprised Hao Ren. The little one had always been very active and curious. Why was she so obedient today?
"Maybe she was scared." Lily squatted on the ground and stared at Lil Pea in the kettle. She poked the little one's face and said, "Mr. Landlord, I think you should take Lil Pea out more often to see the world..."
Hao Ren did not think much of it. "Aren't you afraid that the Chinese Academy of Sciences will cut her into pieces?"
Lily's ears twitched. She suddenly remembered something. "Oh yeah, Mr. Landlord, I think I saw a werewolf when I came from the intersection in front!"
Hao Ren was stunned. "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"
"Because I was too surprised at the time. I only realized it now." Lily pursed her lips. "And isn't it natural that there are werewolves in this world? Raven said that all otherworldlings come from The Plane of Dreams. "
Hao Ren really wanted to smack the husky on the head. "The problem is that I saw it with my own eyes!"
Hao Ren looked serious, but Lily did not see it. She was busy playing with Lil Pea (look at how smooth these three words are). She muttered without looking up, "It's okay. There will be opportunities to see them in the future. I heard that the further west you go, the more werewolves there are."
Hao Ren let Lil Pea out for a breath of fresh air. He found that the little one did not have much interest in going out for a stroll other than looking around. On the contrary, she was more interested in the MDT in the kettle. It seemed that the vast world outside had scared the hatchling. Hao Ren covered the kettle again and continued to wander around the town with Lily.
Walking on the street in a different world, dressed in strange attire that would attract the attention of the locals, followed by a clingy, beautiful girl with a kettle in her hand. Perhaps, only Hao Ren and his family could have such a kind of transmigrator...
Near noon, they met outside the town as promised. Except for Hao Ren who was focused on his daughter and walking the dog, everyone seemed to have found something.
