==================
Although Fang Suo's personality makes him difficult to approach, Lian Yun has met people like him before, and generally speaking, he is not very difficult to deal with.
The only thing that Lian Yun was worried about was her strength.
But now it seems that Lanna poses a greater threat to them.
"I don't mean anything else. I just want you all to sit down and rest for a while. You've been walking for so long, you must be thirsty, right?"
Lian Yun originally wanted to treat them to a meal, but he couldn't bear to do it.
I don't even want to give you parsnips.
After hearing what Lian Yun said, someone in the team finally couldn't help but grab the obvious water bottle on their waist: "Thank you! We have water!"
Lian Yun didn't even glance at the other party, but just looked at Fang Suo with a slight smile.
A wise person should know the times.
Fang Suo's eyes moved between Lanna and Lanna's sword, as if assessing the other's strength.
As expected, after Fang Suo clearly realized that he could not retreat unscathed, he stood up again without even touching the dagger at his waist.
"Your Excellency is right. We should take a break, but let's forget about the supplies. After all, it looks like..." Fang Suo said with embarrassment, "Your Excellency's town isn't very wealthy."
Lian Yun raised his eyebrows.
Is this because they're worried she'll poison the water, and they're also satirizing the town's current downturn?
But this did not affect Lian Yun's mood.
Isn't the purpose of the other party's words to cause her dissatisfaction?
"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
Lian Yun looked directly into the pair of gray-blue eyes in front of her. She quite liked the cold and sharp-tongued personality, but it was difficult for her to make friends with such a person.
"What mission did you accept?"
"We accepted it at the mission hall. It was a mission from one of the city lord's trusted aides, asking us to visit that village," Fang Suo said. "I'm sorry I can't share any more details, as it concerns the privacy of the person who posted it."
Lian Yun could not see any trace of evasion or lying in her eyes, but he also knew that she would not say anything more.
"How much is the reward?"
"Ten silver coins."
Lian Yun was silent.
It's just a gold coin.
Although Gary told himself that the exchange rate of the three metal currencies in this world is 1:10:20.
She still wasn't quite sure what ten silver coins meant.
But isn’t the ready-made Baidu right in front of us?
"Ten silver coins? What can you do with them?" Lian Yun showed a disdainful expression.
She followed Gary's advice and decided not to let others know that she had blind spots in her knowledge of the common sense of the world.
Fang Suo did not answer immediately, but the inquiry in his eyes was self-evident.
A man in the team behind her sneered, "Sir, if you search this entire town, can you find a few silver coins?"
Oh no, I’m looked down upon again.
Lian Yun didn't even bother to look at the man. Before he could say anything, he heard the sound of a long sword breaking through the wind, followed by the sound of swords clashing.
“Clang——”
Fang Suo frowned, holding the dagger in his backhand to block the blond man's sword.
The man who had just spoken seemed to be trying hard not to fall to the ground, but the sudden cold sweat on his forehead revealed his fear.
She noticed her wrist was trembling slightly, and her expression became increasingly uncertain.
The man in front of her didn't use his full strength, but she was already unable to resist.
"Oh," Lian Yun seemed to have just reacted and shouted in surprise, "Lanna, put it down quickly, isn't this a guest?"
Lian Yun had a faint smile in his eyes: "Even if he speaks rudely and is not disciplined, isn't he still a guest?"
Lanna said nothing and put away his sword.
Fang Suo's expression paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
She turned around and before the man could say anything, she raised her hand and slapped him.
The man's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he looked at his captain in horror.
Fang Suo said coldly: "Apologize."
He had just been threatened by Lanna and slapped in the face by his own captain, and now he had to apologize to a woman younger than him.
The man gritted his teeth and turned to Lian Yun, trembling. He didn't look at her, but spoke each word clearly: "My Lord, I am guilty of offending you. I shouldn't have spoken so hastily."
Fang Suo instantly put on a distant smile: "I'm not good at managing my subordinates."
"It's not an offense," Lian Yun naturally understood the meaning of the man's words.
"It's just a little stupid." Lian Yun smiled, and a gold coin appeared on his fingertips.
The gold coin was thrown, drawing a glittering curve in the air and finally landing at the man's feet.
"Moral damages. Sorry, my partner was too quick. He can't stand idiots and gets his hands on them when he sees them."
Lian Yun gave a smile that was not sincere.
Fang Suo kicked the idiot who was trying to pick up the gold coins to the back, and when he faced Lian Yun again, his smile was a little more cautious.
"Your casual tip is enough to feed us for a month. It seems that your town's poverty is only superficial."
Lian Yun didn't care about the multiple meanings in her words, but he still got the answer.
"Next question, what are you going to say when you return to Quoge?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone understood that Lian Yun’s real intention was not just to ask a few casual questions.
But now that things have come to this, Fang Suo must answer even the most detailed questions.
"We've checked the village. It's been attacked by orcs. We searched every corner but couldn't find any bodies or anyone alive."
"Looking for a body?"
Lian Yun caught the key words and didn’t know if the other party did it on purpose, but it didn’t matter if he asked.
Fang Suo smiled lightly and said nothing.
It seems so.
Gary and the residents behind him also heard something was wrong.
Fang Suo doesn't talk nonsense. If it weren't a mission requirement, who would have the time to rummage through the ruins looking for living people?
Lian Yun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did the mission requirements mention providing support?"
Fang Suo said, "Support? That's what the soldiers in the city do. We are only responsible for completing our duties."
"So far, I haven't seen any soldiers from the city being dispatched."
Therefore, the mission only requires them to go to the village and find a definite answer - the village has been massacred.
Fang Suo had previously said that she had been in Quoge City for a year.
The call for help sent out half a year ago fell on deaf ears, with no response at all.
But after being attacked, it even dragged on for more than ten days, cutting off any possibility of survival.
The adventure team arrived late, their purpose was not to rescue, but to just give it a casual "take a look".
Gerry swayed slightly, and Buck behind him supported the old man without leaving any trace.
Gary felt a blockage in his chest and felt dizzy.
Lian Yun sighed slightly.
It wasn't just Gary. Every villager in the village was now caught in an emotional whirlpool and unable to extricate themselves.
They had been waiting for rescue for half a year, but it seemed as if it had never happened.
There was a silence, and Fang Suo spoke slowly: "Is that all the questions, sir? I think we have rested enough, can we leave now?"
Actually, it’s not impossible.
Lian Yun thought to himself.
Her reply was quite standard. No matter what Kuoge had planned, it was time to end it.
But Lian Yun smiled slightly: "What other tasks do you usually take?"
There is still a problem!
Fang Suo took a deep breath, wanting to finish the battle quickly. "Help the soldiers clear out the monsters around here."
Lian Yun was about to say more when Fang Suo raised his hand to interrupt her, continuing rapidly: "The bounty for a normal mission will not exceed two silver coins. Occasionally, we will take on a mission to protect a caravan, which will pay around five silver coins. The bounty earned is distributed according to contribution. We usually live and eat in the hotel, and we save half of the money we earn."
Fang Suo took a long breath and said, "We grabbed this mission because we don't usually get such an easy and simple mission."
But now she began to feel that it was not so simple.
Fang Suo stared at Lian Yun closely: "Is that all you want to know?"
Lian Yun supported his temple with his index finger, pretending to be deep in thought. After a moment, he smiled and said, "What kind of monsters do you usually fight?"
Fang Suo: ...
For the next hour, Lian Yun subjected Fang Suo to a gentle and inhumane "torture".
Content includes but is not limited to: "Which monster is easier to fight?"
"What weapon would be best to use when fighting him?"
“How many people usually go together?”
"What should I do if I'm injured? Is there any medicine?"
And the sentence that made Fang Suo doubt his life - "Can this monster be eaten?"
Fang Suo felt like his hair was about to explode, but he had no place to vent.
"Sir, how can you eat a monster?"
The girl with short hair was smiling, but it felt like she was gritting her teeth.
Lian Yun's expression was filled with surprise but also with pity: "Oh my God, you haven't eaten it before?! There are no people who haven't even eaten a monster before!"
