disaster strikes

Chapter 83 The True Mission Leader

the next day.

Chen Mo got up early and came to the castle market after his practice.

As the sun rises, a large number of adventurers are eating breakfast, checking and packing their bags, preparing to start a new journey.

As for the peasants in the castle, they will not leave the castle until the guards drive away the poisonous insects and beasts that may be hiding in the wheat fields.

"Have you heard that there is a problem with the Howell family. They were attacked by people from unknown forces, and even the adventurers were not spared. Several adventurer teams have issued warnings, do not go to Howell I don't think the supply from the family is groundless."

Chen Mo, who was also eating breakfast, heard the conversations of the adventurers next to him.

"These bastards actually attacked adventurers. Do you think that we adventurers are vegetarians? If this is true, we must report this matter to the Adventurers Association when we return to Glory City!"

Adventurers are different from these family lords.

Perhaps from a small regional unit, the lords are the ruling core at the grassroots level, but from a larger regional unit, adventurers are the masters of this world, but the relatively isolated and closed geographical environment of this world limits the differences. Large-scale exchanges between regions have formed the characteristics of large mixed and small settlements.

"what?"

Another adventurer was taken aback when he heard this.

He was dressed in animal skin clothes and a gray cloak. He was about 1.7 meters tall and carried a big sword. He looked simple, reliable, and powerful.

"Is there another war? This time it even affects us adventurers. It seems that Glory City's deterrence against these castles is getting weaker and weaker."

Coincidentally, this person was sitting beside Chen Mo.

Chen Mo slowly put down the black bread in his hand, and interjected: "I also heard from my friends about the incident over there yesterday. It is said that even the captain died several times, so you haven't heard anything?"

"No!"

The man touched his head, looking puzzled.

"I just heard that the Howell family was unable to clean up the intruding alien beasts in time due to their weakened strength. In recent months, more and more alien beasts wandered around, and some guards were killed or injured because of this."

After a pause, the man continued: "As for the reason, it is said that some time ago, the crater of Glory City attracted a low-level dragon, which not only killed some workers who collected sulfur mines, but also the low-level dragons entrenched nearby. The high-level alien beasts have all suffered, and they fled in large numbers, which led to an increase in the number of alien beasts in other areas of the Glory Mountain Range, making those weakened families tired of coping."

"Oh?"

Chen Mo showed surprise, which was an unexpected surprise, new information that he had never heard of.

Next, Chen Mo used a similar method to find the next adventurer. He continued to talk routinely and tried to obtain information.

As the sun gradually rose, the adventurers left one after another, and Chen Mo couldn't help but change his target.

The market gradually became lively, and the shouts of the vendors kept coming and going. The farmers also left the castle after the guard patrol outside the city, and went to the farmland to work.

A girl who kept waving the mallet to smash the black bread more tightly attracted Chen Mo's attention.

There is no other reason, this girl is very beautiful!
It is also for this reason that passing adventurers often look at this girl more often. Even though the taste of her brown bread is not the best in the castle, the business is quite prosperous. Some bold adventurers, He will even take the initiative to strike up a conversation, and after bragging about some of his experiences, he will tell the girl.

After thinking about it.

In order to improve the efficiency of intelligence gathering, Chen Mo found a nearby guard captain and motioned him to help him.

With the assistance of the captain of the city guard, the girl immediately showed a look of sincerity and fear when she saw Chen Mo. Facing the intelligence information Chen Mo asked, it can be said that she knew everything.

"I...I heard that Eldest Young Master Elon of the Howell family seems to hate Commander Layton very much, because once, he tried to insult the family of a knight under Commander Layton. He whipped three times hard."

"By the way, there is also his cousin, Nader Howell's wife, who is also said to have a close relationship with Elon Howell, and many people have seen it. What, Nader Howell backed down, rumor has it that the relationship between the two is very tense in private."

The girl finished all the rumors she knew about the Howell family in one breath, and most of them were about Elon Howell. Linfeng's handsome appearance, the other is his suave love story.

Even the girl herself couldn't help but turn red when she said this information.

time flies.

It wasn't until the girl couldn't think of any gossip anymore that Chen Mo nodded and signaled to the guard captain behind him to leave.

"correct!"

The girl suddenly said again: "I heard from an adventurer that ghost vines appeared in the forest near Howell Castle."

"Ghost vine?"

Facing Chen Mo's question, the girl said: "It is said that it is an extremely terrifying mutated plant that can migrate like an animal. In addition to attacking large creatures near it, the most terrifying thing is that it will also pollute the fertile plants under the sun. The land will cause the land to be barren for several years, or even ten years!"

Chen Mo heard the words and reacted.

"In other words, it will pollute the farmland? What about the adventurer, did he say where the ghost vine is?"

The girl shook her head and said, "He left a few days ago."

"Is that so?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Mo took out a few copper coins, handed them to the girl, and said with a smile: "It took you a lot of time, these copper coins should be used as compensation."

Seeing this, the girl immediately showed a look of joy, and she got so many copper coins just by telling the other party some news. You must know that a piece of black bread only costs two copper coins.

Seeing the girl like this, Chen Mo seemed to inadvertently asked again: "By the way, I heard that Master Lacy had a strange disease when he was young. Do you know what happened?"

"what!"

The girl looked sad, and sighed: "Master Lacy is a good man, and he will definitely become a benevolent lord in the future, but God is always so unfair. The young master got that strange disease when he was seven years old. Not good, not only can't work for a long time, it is said that it is accompanied by some hidden diseases..."

The process of collecting information on Lacy Schumacher was unexpectedly smooth.

And as the girl narrated, the image of Lacy Schumacher gradually became vivid in Chen Mo's heart. It can be said that the history of the Schumacher family is the history of the three generations of Gude, Tang Ji, and Lacy. Compared with the centuries-old families in the Glory Mountains, this is a rising star family.

Gude Schumacher, who single-handedly established the dominance of the Schumacher family, is the idol target of Lacy Schumacher since he was a child.

In the same year, Lacy was very lively and cheerful.

Like the young masters of other families, he looks a little naughty.

Until he was seven years old, he suffered from a strange disease. Since then, he has been weak. Not only is his face pale, but his figure is slightly stooped and short. In some rumors, his fiancée Lori Miller once publicly ridiculed him. , saying that he is not a man or something like that.

As such.

The servants in the castle gradually spread the news that Master Lacy was suffering from a hidden disease.

As for Master Lacy's fiancée, Lori Miller, it was a marriage that was reached after the meeting of the lords of the two families half a year ago, but Lori Miller didn't seem to like this Master Lacy. It was not pleasant until that happened, and Chen Mo and others came here.

"In terms of personality, this is a man with extremely low self-esteem, but with the constant encouragement of his grandfather, he is trying his best to move from the gloom to the light. This is a successor who is deeply loved by the people of the territory. He aspires to be like his grandfather, Be a lord with good qualities instead of chasing those luxuries."

Only then did Chen Mo realize what important information he had missed.

The real clue to this mission, Lori Miller!

A person who is ignored by everyone, she is the real origin of this mission, the key clue leading to the direction of the matter, and a key person who may determine the future development of the situation.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help looking at the girl again.

"Then can you tell me the story of Master Lacy's fiancée..."

night.

The six natural disasters gathered here to summarize the intelligence information they collected.

Among these information, except for the information of the main members of the Howell family and the little bosses, most of them are all kinds of romantic deeds of Elon Howell.

This guy can be said to be merciful everywhere, a real beast in clothes.

No wonder Lazie Schumacher hated him.

For him, the fact that his fiancée has an affair with such a person is not only a matter of the man's face, but also involves some deep-seated reasons, that is, in the eyes of his fiancée, his various excellent qualities are not comparable to the other's. Good skin.

For Lacy Schumacher, it was a blow to his faith.

And Gude Schumacher's teaching to him has always been the motivation to support his confidence in pursuing a better life. Now these are worthless in the eyes of his fiancée, and he cannot let go of the anger caused by this.

Faith and politics can never be compromised.

This also explains why, a few days after that incident, Lacy Schumacher launched the mission of disaster, summoning Chen Mo and others to come to this world to complete his mission, and why he was hysterical from the very beginning. Crazy, and then a series of complex emotions unfolded.

This madness is not just for the love that does not exist between the two.

The most important reason was that he felt that his faith had been insulted, which was why he acted so horribly.

And as he gradually calmed down, the complex emotions he showed were also due to faith, because Gude Schumacher taught him since childhood that he must keep calm and maintain noble qualities.

He must keep himself good enough, and try his best to make Schumacher, an upstart family in the Glory Mountains, avoid being the target of public criticism.
