After Anno notified the nine mercenary groups, he returned to the guild.

At this time, the guild’s task wall had already displayed a commission to find the murderer.

As long as you can provide relevant clues, you will receive corresponding rewards.

There is one good thing about the increase in the number of adventurers.

That is, after the task is released, there is always someone who can provide some relevant information.

For example, there is a low-level adventure group with only five members.

They found An Nuo and told him that on the day when an Adventurer Star was killed, the two sides met in a town near a royal city.

At that time, there were a few professionals in the town who did not have the logos of a mercenary group or adventurers, but were suspected to be mercenaries.

This cannot actually be considered as evidence.

But it's also a clue.

Afterwards, many adventurers came to the guild and provided a large number of clues, both large and small.

It concerns the safety of adventurers.

No adventurer wants to be killed by a malicious professional while performing a mission.

In this incident, Annuo was not only seeking revenge for the murdered adventurer, but also to prevent similar situations from happening again in the future.

Let everyone who dares to attack adventurers know that the seventh-level president of the Adventurer’s Guild will pursue them to the end!

So the adventurers are very active.

On the first day alone, the adventurers provided the guild with hundreds of useful clues.

After all the clues were sorted out, everyone discovered that when the adventurers who died were performing their last mission before death, there were people of unknown professions around them.

One of the professionals named Lesk was recognized by the adventurers and confirmed to be a member of the Red Turban Mercenary Group.

This makes the mercenaries even more suspicious.

Even many adventurers spontaneously began to wander around the various mercenary groups, trying to find out some information.

Some adventurers also thought of bribing mercenaries to obtain intelligence from within the enemy.

However, in order to ensure the success rate of the mission, the mercenaries who did such things at that time were all carried out by strong middle and senior levels.

The lower-level members are unaware of this.

And these middle-level personnel experienced the horror of the Adventurer's Guild for the first time.

Lesk, a level 26, fifth-order warrior.

One of the captains of the Red Turban Mercenary Group, he is undoubtedly a senior figure in the group.

When An Nuo came to the guild with his summons during the day, he didn't dare to show his head after hearing the news.

Of the two [Adventurer Stars] who were killed, one was murdered by him.

He is very scared now.

He could feel that his own leader was in a difficult situation and could not save himself.

Not long after Annuo left, the team leader left in a hurry.

I guess he went there to seek asylum.

Lesk was very scared at this time.

He was afraid that the leader would hand him over in order to save his own life.

What scared him even more was when he left the base in the evening and prepared to go home.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the base, Lesk felt a lot of eyes focusing on him.

He looked up and found that many professionals wearing adventurer badges had appeared on the streets around the base at some point.

"No...it's okay. The area around the base is already quite busy, and there are usually quite a few adventurers."

Slack took a deep breath, said goodbye to several colleagues, and started heading towards home.

With this movement, Slack's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate.

Because he saw that the adventurers who stopped in front of the stall actually left the stall and followed him following his actions.

"No...it's okay, maybe it's just along the way!"

Slack wiped the sweat from his forehead with his right hand, and kept his left hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

He silently took off the red scarf around his head and stuffed it into his arms.

The red headscarf that he once was proud of was now like a big label, telling adventurers on the roadside that he was a member of the Red Headscarf Mercenary Group.

The journey home takes twenty minutes.

It was a very familiar road, but Slack felt it was very strange.

Adventurers were everywhere looking at him.

Every time he turned a corner, new eyes would be cast upon him.

This feeling of being the center of attention made Lesk feel a little suffocated.

"I've been discovered, I've been discovered!"

Lesk quickened his pace while being wary of the adventurers around him.

He already had something to hide, and now he just thought that the Adventurer's Guild had already found out about him.

Although he did it very cleanly at the time, he suddenly felt that he had neglected many things.

For example, when he was tracking the target, he took off his red headscarf and changed into ordinary clothes, but he did not wear a mask.

I also met other adventurers along the way.

Some villagers have seen him.

The more he thought about it, the more Lesk felt that he had been exposed.

In particular, after arriving at the door of his house, Lesk discovered that there were also a dozen adventurers around the house.

Bang!

After returning home, Lesk closed the door and locked it from the inside, covering his mouth with a look of horror.

He then sealed all the windows in the house from the inside.

His wife saw that Lesk's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of pain, so she said distressedly: "Lesk, is the work of the mercenary group very heavy?"

His wife's care made Lesk's depressed heart relax a little.

He sat on the table, holding his head and crying, “Tana, I…I’m done, I’m done!

They've found me, I'm done!

They're going to kill me, probably tonight.

Our house has been surrounded by adventurers."

Tana had never seen her husband like this.

With the strength of the fifth level, even in the royal city, one is already an upper-class person and will never have to worry about food and drink.

But now he seems to be suffering from paranoia and never lets go of a knife at home.

After night fell, Lesk didn't even dare to go to sleep.

At the slightest movement outside the room, Lesk immediately drew his knife and opened his eyes wide.

In the middle of the night, Lesk, who was already very tired, suddenly found that a non-human black shadow suddenly emerged from the shadow cast by the candlelight, emitting sixth-level magic fluctuations.

Lesk, hiding in the closet, widened his eyes and covered his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound.

However, the black shadow only stayed in front of the table for a moment, seemed to leave something, and then merged into the shadow and disappeared.

But Lesk didn't dare to go out of the closet to see what was on the table.

After seeing the methods of the inhuman black shadow, he even felt that the cabinet he was hiding in was not safe.

I always feel like the enemy is around.

This feeling almost made Lesk collapse.

I don’t know how long it took, but light shone into the house through the window, bringing a ray of light.

With red eyes, Lesk mustered up the courage to walk to the table.

Seeing what was above, the knife in Lesk's hand fell to the ground. He sat down weakly and let out a somewhat crazy laugh.

There was a piece of paper nailed to the table with a dagger, and it read:

Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist!

In Lesk's opinion, the Adventurer's Guild already knew what he had done, and this was an ultimatum to him.

…

In the morning, a mercenary with red eyes and messy hair suddenly walked into the Adventurer's Guild.

The moment Slake walked in, he immediately attracted the attention of all adventurers in the guild.

Many people even stood up and put their hands next to their weapons.

Slack glanced at everyone, walked to the front desk, and said hoarsely: "I want to see President An Nuo!"

Linda frowned at Slack, glanced at Liz next to her, and said, "President Anno is out!"

"Then I'll wait for him to come back!"

Seeing that there were no empty tables in the hall, Slack sat down next to a pillar.

For some reason, even though he was in the adventurer's lair, Slack felt himself relax.

Not long after, he fell asleep leaning on it.

"Is this guy here to confess his guilt?"

Liz observed Lesk and thought to herself: I didn't expect the master's intimidation method yesterday to be effective. It will be a small surprise when the master returns from the palace.
