Keeley bumped into Han Jin's arm and was hit by the stench. Her legs went soft and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Han Jin held her in time.
Qi Li looked up at Han Jin and asked in a trembling voice, "Are they … all dead?"
Han Jin nodded. Sassoux frowned, "Did someone attack Morgan & Co.?"
"I don't know. Maybe someone did it, or maybe they killed each other," Han Jin said in a low voice, "But at least we know that there is a wizard among them."
Qi Li's face was pale. She had been holding it in for months. She didn't want to stay in the forest when everyone was living a leisurely life. Her goal was to go back to Morgan & Co. The problem was that she was just an ordinary warrior who couldn't be any more ordinary. Now that she had no money, where could a girl who had no strength and no money go? She was also a very beautiful girl. Sometimes, beauty meant danger. She understood that the more beautiful a girl was, the more dangerous she was.
Last time in the Eleventh Town, she revealed her identity, but the people from Morgan & Co didn't come to see her. From then on, she knew that something was wrong with Morgan & Co.! The best choice was to let Han Jin and the others protect her. They would try their best to pacify the chaos in Morgan & Co. But she didn't have the right to ask anyone. She didn't contribute much from the beginning to the end. Everyone took care of her, which was good enough. Since someone dared to attack Morgan & Co., Han Jin and the others couldn't resist the power of the enemy. She couldn't let her friends die with her.
Now, Qi Li was even more desperate when she heard that there was a wizard among the enemies.
At this moment, little Joseph rushed in with his sword. Apparently, he had heard the explosion. "Sir? What's wrong? "
"Not bad, little guy. I thought you were scared away." Han Jin laughed.
Little Joseph blushed. "How is that possible … You are my employers now. I have to take responsibility!" After saying that, he moved closer. When he got close to the entrance of the cave, he also smelled the stench. He couldn't help but cover his nose. "What is this smell!"
"Don't ask anymore. It's none of your business." Han Jin's gaze fell on Qi Li. "Let's go back, okay?"
Qi Li gently pushed Han Jin away and nodded.
***
Back at the hotel, Han Jin and the others were in low spirits, especially Qi Li. She didn't greet anyone and went straight to her room. Han Jin didn't want to waste time. He casually sat at the table, took out the wood that he had already prepared, and began to carve wholeheartedly.
When night fell, Sunier still hadn't returned. Sassoux was a little worried, so he went with little Joseph to the Mercenary Association to look for Sunier. Han Jin didn't want to move. He ran to the roof alone, leaned against the chimney, and observed the night view of Isolated Cliff City.
The word "cultivate" had a profound meaning. Many cultivators liked to live in seclusion in the mountains because they wanted to cultivate their nature. They wanted to sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, and listen to the ebb and flow of the tide. Everything had to return to nature. As for the saying "a little hermit lives in the forest, a great hermit lives in the city", it was just a fig leaf for pedantic scholars. It had nothing to do with cultivation. Living in the city was to be discovered and discovered. It was to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. If one really wanted to live in seclusion, how could it be more peaceful and leisurely than the mountains?
Since Han Jin stepped into the door of cultivation, he had rarely left the city. He had no choice but to do so. However, he had developed a habit. Every day, he would take some time to go to a high place and look up at the bright stars and the lights of the city. He wanted to calm himself down completely, or to experience the feeling of loneliness and loneliness at the top. He wanted to forcibly separate himself from the hustle and bustle of the secular world, which was good for his cultivation.
He didn't know when, but a person slowly sat down beside him. Han Jin even smelled a faint fragrance.
"Why did you come back so late?" Han Jin asked in a low voice.
"I issued a lot of tasks, so I waited a little longer." Sunier handed over a bag. "Inside are all third grade earth element magic crystals. As for the fourth and fifth grade ones, you can leave them with me for safekeeping."
Han Jin shook the bag with his hand and opened it. He said in surprise, "So many?"
"There are about three hundred of them."
"How much did you spend?"
"Not much. Earth element magic crystals are very cheap. Together with the fourth and fifth grade magic crystals, it only cost a little more than a hundred gold coins."
"Sunier, you … should be very famous in Wild Willow City, right?" Han Jin asked with a smile. Spending a hundred gold coins and saying it wasn't much was not something an ordinary person could say.
"Don't ask, I don't want to talk about this." Sunier changed the topic. "Were the people of Morgan & Co. killed?"
"Yes."
"What's your opinion? Should we … help Qi Li? "
"What's your opinion?" Han Jin didn't answer but asked back.
"I just talked with Qi Li about her family. According to their rules, she can only have access to the internal affairs of the business group after passing the assessment. That is to say, she knows almost nothing now and can't help us." Sunier said in a low voice.
"Actually, it's not a matter of whether to help her or not, but whether we can gain something." Han Jin understood Sunier's meaning. "If we try hard, we are doomed to fail. Then why should we take risks? Whether it's the people of Holy Crown City who want to deal with Morgan & Co., or the internal strife of the business group, they are much stronger than us. They are also more well-informed than us. If we bump into them … what good can we get? "
Sunier was silent. They secretly exchanged opinions here and decided not to help Qi Li. It was very cruel for Qi Li, but Han Jin didn't think he was wrong. From the perspective of a small team, it was better to be cruel to one person than to a group of people.
"We need a thief." Sunier said in a low voice. "If we can find a high-grade thief and a high-grade warrior, our team will be perfect. At least we can find a way to find out what happened to Morgan & Co."
"I remember Morrisons also said this." Han Jin said slowly. "How about … we go to the Mercenary Association tomorrow to recruit a thief?"
"Don't be ridiculous." Sunier shook her head with a smile. "You don't know how rare it is to have a good team! If we recruit a narrow-minded guy who likes to stir up trouble, our team will be broken up. For example, the space ring on your hand. If it were two other people, they wouldn't agree to give it to you. No matter what, they have to get their own benefits. "
Han Jin's eyes fell on the ring, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"By the way …" Sunier suddenly thought of something. "We can buy information! How about this, I will issue a task tomorrow to collect information about Morgan's Business Group. If there is hope, we can help Qi Li. You didn't see her eyes swollen because of crying. She is so pitiful. If it's dangerous … then forget it. "
"Well …" Han Jin shrugged. It was already very dangerous for the other side to have at least one wizard. How dangerous could it be? However, since Sunier changed her mind, he couldn't say anything. He could only take one step at a time.
