In the blink of an eye, the old man left with the people of the Mercenary Association, leaving little Joseph in the corner. They didn't care about such a small fry.
Sunier and the others walked slowly into the hotel, one after the other. Han Jin was the last to enter. Before entering, he turned around and glanced back. Little Joseph's face was full of hesitation. After seeing Han Jin's look, he paused and quietly followed.
"What the hell is going on?" Morrisons yelled.
"It's my fault. I was too careless." Han Jin said softly, "But … this Isolated Cliff City doesn't seem to be as good as you said."
"The seal is obviously not complete. Why … why did they say it was complete?" Qi Li asked in a trembling voice.
"There are many reasons. It's hard to say. The only thing I'm sure of is that he's up to no good." Han Jin thought for a moment. "Maybe he's related to this matter, so he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. At least, he didn't want to attract the attention of the United Elders. Or maybe … he likes your seal."
"Likes my seal? What does he want to do?? "Qi Li felt that her head was about to explode.
Han Jin sighed and changed the topic. "Little Joseph, do you know that old man?"
"His name is Cromwell. He's a crazy old dog!" Little Joseph said, gnashing his teeth.
"What does he do in the Mercenary Association?"
"He's an inspector. He has a lot of power," Morrisons said in a muffled voice. "And, he's a ninth-grade professional."
"You haven't told me why he wants my seal?" Qi Li screamed. Before today, she had never told anyone about the secret of the seal. Everyone only thought that it was an accessory that Qi Li always carried with her. In fact, Qi Li didn't distrust her friends. It was just that the significance of the seal was too great.
"If he has the seal, he can find someone to pretend to be the successor of Morgan & Co., or win the trust of the United Elders."
"It's not that important, is it?" Sassoux continued, "Have you forgotten what happened in the Eleventh Town? Now that Morgan & Co. doesn't even trust Qi Li, what's the use of a seal? "
"At least, he has a justifiable reason to kill and plunder. What happened in the Holy Crown City … should have been spread out." Han Jin smiled, "Who do you think killed those people?"
"You mean …" Sassoux was shocked.
Just then, the door was pushed open. Little Joseph, who was standing at the door, was caught off guard. He screamed and fell to the ground. He had just been whipped, and the door of the hotel hit his wound, causing him to curl up in pain.
Following that, a person rushed in. "Everyone, get ready … Eh! Little guy, are you alright? "
"I'm fine …" Little Joseph struggled to get up.
Sylvia quickly forgot about this little accident. She excitedly gestured and shouted, "Quick, get ready. I'll take you to make a fortune!"
"What kind of fortune?"
"I've just received a task …"
"You haven't received a task to hunt demon beasts, have you?" Morrisons's face changed greatly, and hurriedly interrupted Sylvia.
"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Sylvia rolled her eyes at Morrisons, and proudly said, "I've received a task to escort a caravan. I'll send 15 carriages with armor and weapons to the Holy Crown City. Ha … I can earn 300 gold coins just by walking. 300 gold coins!!"
This time, everyone's face changed. Morrisons pounded on the table and stood up, "Are you crazy?! The Holy Crown City is at war! You want to send 15 carriages with armor and weapons there?? "
"War … war?"
"You don't know??"
"Why is there a war?" Sylner asked in a sobbing voice.
"Nonsense, the war has been going on for almost half a year!"
Sylvia turned around and rushed out. Morrisons sat down on the chair and sighed. Apparently, he was worried about Sylvia.
"Sassoux, if someone is watching us, can you find them with magic?" Han Jin asked in a low voice.
"I've mastered the Clairvoyance Eye, but I can't maintain it for too long."
"You mean … someone is watching us?" Sunier asked.
"I don't know. If that old guy named Cromwell really wants to get the seal of Morgan & Co., he must have sent someone to watch us." Han Jin stood up and walked to little Joseph. He patted him on the shoulder and whispered something to him. Little Joseph suddenly raised his head and stared at Han Jin blankly.
Han Jin said a few more words. Little Joseph hesitated for a long time and nodded. Then Han Jin gave little Joseph a dozen gold coins. Little Joseph hurried out of the hotel.
"Where did the little guy go?" Sassoux asked.
"To make some arrangements in advance, in case of any accidents." Han Jin smiled, "I was deceived by you. I thought this Isolated Cliff City was a paradise. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so passive now."
"I was also deceived." Sunier laughed.
"Morrisons, you grew up here." Sassoux said, "Don't you know Isolated Cliff City?"
"I never said it was a paradise," Morrisons replied sullenly, "Otherwise, why would I go to another place?"
"Of course. For you, anywhere is not a paradise as long as Sylvia is here." Sassoux laughed.
The heavy atmosphere was slightly relieved. They all laughed and chatted softly. After a while, Sylvia walked into the hotel dejectedly and looked at Morrisons blankly, "What … should we do? The caravan refused to terminate the contract. I've already mortgaged our house to the Mercenary Association. What should we do? "
"It's your house, not ours." Morrisons said coldly, "Fifteen carts of weapons and armor, and only one house is enough? You've also mortgaged other things, haven't you? "
"You …" Sylvia was very angry when she heard the first part of the sentence, but when she heard the second part, she became dejected again, "That … the Scorching Staff, I've mortgaged it to the Mercenary Association."
"Haha …" Morrisons gave a hollow laugh and turned his head to look at the other side.
"When is the departure time in the contract?" Han Jin suddenly asked.
"Tomorrow."
"We'll help you." Han Jin laughed, "Don't worry, I have a way to send the goods there."
"Really?" Sylvia cried in surprise and joy.
Sunier and the others were dumbfounded. This kind of thing could not be solved by any tricks. The three lords were killing each other, and countless armies were roaming and fighting in the vast wilderness. If the caravan went there, it would be like walking into a trap. Not to mention, the Holy Crown City was at a disadvantage, surrounded by the armies of Black Raven City and Depew City.
"Of course it's true. You go back and prepare." Han Jin laughed, "We'll go to you together in the evening."
"That's good." Sylvia's mood changed quickly, and she was easy to trust. She stared at Morrisons to show off, and then left the hotel triumphantly.
"You're not serious, are you?" Morrisons cried.
"Don't worry." Han Jin said softly, "Sunier, you go outside and see if anyone is secretly watching us. Sassoux, you also use your Clairvoyance Eyes."
