In response to this warning, Beta vividly told Mark the story of a retired military officer from the Lily Kingdom.
It was said that he was a sixth-rank knight who was demoted from the Lily Kingdom's castle guard.
When he arrived in Osborne Town, he brought with him a team of 12 fifth-level knights.
After they formed an adventure group called Thorn Lily, they ignored the warnings of the Adventurer's Guild and directly accepted a non-star-level mission that was a reward for being a knight.
The specific content of the mission is currently unknown.
I just heard from other adventurers who participated in the mission at that time that after completing the mission, the Thorn Lily Adventure Group had evil thoughts about a strange-looking treasure at the mission location.
They took the treasure away, and the returning adventurers never saw the knight and his adventuring group again.
Only adventurers who occasionally spend the night in the central area of the Warcraft Mountains will hear the sound of galloping horses in the mountains all night long.
According to the adventurers involved, any adventurer with a little experience would know at a glance that the treasure was either a creation of the abyss or a sacrificial vessel of the evil god.
It is of extremely high value, but it is simply not something that ordinary people can touch.
"The sound of horse hooves..." Beta finally finished the story in a deep and vicissitudes of life tone.
"I heard it two years ago when I was camped in Black Rock Canyon. That night, a torrential rain poured down, and the sound of horse hooves, wrapped in thunder, echoed between the cliffs. At sunrise the next day, I found a mythical black crystal longsword right where the hoofbeats had been! The very same night I got it and decided to auction it off on the underground black market, I heard the sound of knights charging towards me outside the tent..."
Mark didn't know how much of the story Beta told was derived from the name Big Talker Beta.
But he agreed with Beta's point that one should not be greedy.
Because Beta and the three major adventure groups had already appeared in person for him last night.
He knew that there was a pack of wolves led by a fourth-level Ghost Wolf King in the Ghost Wolf Valley, and that there were also abnormal fluctuations in magic power in the Ghost Wolf Valley.
These adventurers were brave enough to want more after completing the rescue mission.
Then greed brought about even greater losses.
Mark felt that he was an outstanding young man from a civilized society and had his own strengths in resisting temptation.
After consulting Beta about the things he needed to pay attention to during the adventure, Mark pretended to ask Beta casually about Ellen.
Beta just thought that Mark was interested in women with the temperament of an older sister like Ellen.
He also casually told Mark that Ellen was a girl who was born and raised in Osborne Town and had just changed her job to become an ordinary clerk.
There is nothing special about it.
"Is there nothing special about it? When the priest fainted in the treatment room...didn't you see it?"
Mark didn't know if he didn't understand this world thoroughly enough. Could it be that the way Ellen attacked Pastor Osser at that time was something an ordinary clerk could do?
"What did you see?" Beta looked at Mark strangely and said, "Didn't that stupid priest Osier crawl out of the treatment room by himself?"
"Haha, you must be curious why the noble Holy Light Priest crawled out in such a mess, right?" Beta winked at Mark with a mysterious smile. "That's because if he can't continue working in the Adventurer's Guild, he'll be sent to the war zone as a war zone priest! He won't be able to sit in an office there!"
"..." Looking at Beta's mysterious smile, Mark finally understood why the joys and sorrows of people in this world are not shared.
Because he found out that he seemed to have been targeted by that Ailian Ben for a long time!
He hid his identity from other adventurers, but didn't even need to use any tricks in front of himself!?
Moreover, as an appraiser, after seeing the task props handed over by Mark, she pretended not to recognize them at first, and finally followed Beta's words to say the name of the props.
What did she see in the werewolf's heart?
What was her intention in asking the question about the magic crystal?
What exactly does she want to do?
In fact, if it was just Ailian who hid her identity, Mark wouldn't have to make such a fuss.
Originally, in the small towns near the Warcraft Mountains, many powerful individual adventurers would buy disguise props or disguise books.
Even he and Monica were the same.
But this time, the ghost wolf that had transformed into a werewolf in the ghost wolf king's lair had incorporated the transformation of holy light attributes!
This is the third strange incident related to holy light that Mark has encountered!
Mark couldn't help but be vigilant about anything that had anything to do with the Holy Light.
Ailian obviously saw something. She pretended not to see the information about the werewolf's heart but deliberately mentioned the werewolf's magic crystal.
She clearly hid her identity from everyone else, but deliberately did not hide it in front of herself.
Mark silently analyzed in his mind and found the most likely reason for Elaine's inconsistent behavior. Was she trying to tell him something?
Perhaps the werewolf's magic crystal can provide him with more information!
With something on his mind, Mark rushed back to Chunhui Hotel without stopping.
When I returned to my suite, I found Monica sitting at a small round table on the terrace, eating lunch prepared by the hotel with Siqi and Anna.
It looks like a healthy meal for ladies, just a plain vegetable and fruit salad.
The seasoning seems to be the same as the seasoning used for the cold cucumber salad in the morning.
When Mark pushed open the glass door leading to the terrace, he saw Monica holding a book called "Vegetation Atlas of the Warcraft Mountains" in her hand, which she borrowed from Siqi.
It sounds like Monica plans to collect some spices in the Monster Mountains next to help Mark complete his career as a chef.
By the way, satisfy your appetite.
When Siqi and Anna saw Mark coming back, their lunch had just finished.
After saying goodbye to the two men, the two women got up and left the suite. After all, in their opinion, Mark and Monica should be a couple of adventurers. Since they have returned from an adventure, it would be better for outsiders not to disturb their rest time.
However, when leaving, Siqi still had some doubts. Wasn't it rumored that the clergy of the Church of Holy Light, the Holy Knights and other professions with the title of "holy" had to abstain from sex?
Why does Mark the Priest have a lover?
If Mark knew what Siqi was thinking, he would probably complain: Why should the rules of his Church of Holy Light have any right to control a heretic clergyman like me?
Of course, the reality is that he and Monica are just roommates and partners.
It really has nothing to do with abstinence.
After Siqi and Anna closed the door and left, Monica casually picked up half a lettuce leaf from the plate in front of her, stuffed it between her rosy lips, and asked:
"Did that woman from the Adventurer's Guild tell you something?"
