Chapter 81 A wanted criminal in the maze?
In the cave on the second floor of the maze, "Dragon Travels the World" was lurking behind a protruding rock, quietly watching a group of more than 20 people holding torches not far away.
"Adventurer?"
Long Xingbaili asked uncertainly, while Long Xingqianli, who was lurking nearby, shook his head solemnly.
“Not like…”
The uniform standard armor was obviously the attire of the regular army.
And it’s not just equipment.
Judging from their formation and the aura they exude, these guys are obviously not ordinary adventurers, but more like well-trained soldiers.
Come to think of it, this was the first time they encountered adventurers in the maze.
Long Xing Baili looked at the boss behind him eagerly.
"Brother, what do you say? Do you want to take action?"
Long Xing Wanli didn't say anything, but weighed the options silently in his mind.
At the same time, his teammates behind him were also whispering and talking.
"These guys don't have any muskets... they seem to only have a few short bows and crossbows. I don't think they should be very difficult to deal with."
"Then the question is, why do you think they don't carry guns? Is it because they can't afford them or they don't know how to use them?"
"It's best not to underestimate them. I forgot who said it on the forum, but in this kind of magical world, people with bows are more dangerous than those with guns!"
"+1."
"It feels like they are obviously not easy to mess with."
"How about pulling the monsters in? Then wait for them to scatter and defeat them one by one?"
"The premise is that the other party is as stupid as a monster."
After discussing for a long time, there was still no conclusion. Long Xing Wanli, who was observing secretly, was also in a dilemma and thought in silence.
He was just a little bit away from reaching Bronze level.
As long as we deal with this group of people, we will have enough experience points.
Wanna take a gamble?
Still a little more stable...
However, just as he was about to make a decision, he saw two familiar figures walking out of the darkness not far away.
The moment they saw that face, everyone in Longxing Tianxia shook the soul fire in their skulls in surprise.
Lord Demon?! "I didn't expect it to be a plot..." Long Xing Qianli touched the bridge of his nose with his index finger and stared at the direction of the Demon King.
Long Xing Baili made a helpless expression and threw the bow and arrow back onto his shoulder.
"That's good now. No need to worry about whether or not to take action..."
Long Xing Wanli nodded.
"Well, let's wait for the Demon King to decide."
…
It wasn't just Luo Yan who walked out of the darkness, but also Sarah who followed closely behind him.
Seeing two people walking out from not far away, everyone present cast vigilant glances at him, and the person in the front position even put his right hand on the sword.
The leading man took a step forward, raised his left hand to signal Luo Yan to stop, then untied the visor of his helmet and looked at him and said.
"Adventurer?"
With a friendly smile on his face, Luo Yan took out the cross pendant hanging on his chest and spoke politely.
"An intern priest from Silverpine."
The reason why he chose to disguise himself as a priest instead of an adventurer was mainly because the latter had a card issued by the Adventurer's Guild, and it was not realistic to forge one temporarily.
Although priests also have identity documents, generally no one will check them, and no priest will carry them with him.
As for why Luo Yan took the initiative to come out, it was naturally to gather information.
In fact, he had originally planned to come alone, but Sarah refused to come and insisted on staying with him, so he gave up.
Anyway, Octo and Bond are already lying in ambush in the dark and can provide support at any time.
He didn't even need their support. As long as he silenced the priest standing in the middle of the crowd and cast Soul Drain on the strongest guy in the group, the rest would be just cakes.
According to the observation of "True Eye", the highest soul level of this group of people is only bronze, but the armor has been blessed by the Holy Spirit and is somewhat difficult to deal with.
Looking at the cross pendant hanging on Luo Yan's chest and the illuminating light ball floating beside him, the leading man did not immediately believe his words. Instead, he looked at him suspiciously, and then turned his gaze to Sarah who was standing beside him.
"What kind of priest would bring a demon with him?"
Luo Yan kept smiling and spoke without blushing or beating his heart.
"Saint Sith taught us to love the world, and I think this world should include children who have gone astray."
"Haha, if Saint Sith really thought so, he wouldn't let the pure soul be reincarnated into a dirty demon..."
Unable to conceal the disgust in his eyes, the man in heavy armor withdrew his gaze from Sarah and looked back at the guy who claimed to be a priest with an expressionless face.
"So, Mr. Trainee Pastor, what can I do for you?"
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"I have been commissioned by the Silver Pine Town Church to investigate the appearance of undead spirits in the maze. What about you? Do you have the same purpose?"
A handsome face is indeed more likely to win the favor of strangers than an ordinary face. At least after seeing his smile, few people would associate him with the devil.
I have to say, people’s first impressions are so unreliable.
Luo Yan could feel that the gentleman in front of him had let go of his initial vigilance, at least he no longer regarded him as a monster disguised as a human, and he even let go of his hand on the hilt of the sword.
Of course, the other party's trust seemed to be limited to this, and there was no further expression.
"We are carrying out the Lord's mission. We have nothing else to say."
"I see..." Luo Yan showed a regretful expression on his face, "I thought we could help each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, the clergyman standing in the middle of the team said with a smile.
"As a trainee priest, how can you help?"
This guy should be a combat priest of the Knights Templar.
He was wearing a heavy armor and holding a magic wand shaped like a mace in his hand, which could be used to hit people or cast spells.
Hearing his words, Luo Yan smiled faintly and spoke in a gentle tone.
"You can't say that. If strength means everything, why doesn't Grand Duke Campbell go down the maze himself? Is it because he doesn't dare?"
After hearing his words, the man raised his eyebrows, but he didn't get angry. Instead, there was a hint of interest in his expression.
Judging from his reaction without any offense, Luo Yan had already guessed the identity of this guy.
First, we have to rule out the Trident Knights who are loyal to Grand Duke Campbell. Then there is only one option left, and that is the citizen knights of Thunder City.
"Mel White, Knight-Master of the Order of the Trident."
"……?"
"What's wrong?" Seeing the pastor in front of him stunned, Mel frowned slightly.
"Bond, I'm an intern pastor in Silver Pine Town, and my mentor is Father Matt." Luo Yan came to his senses and immediately introduced himself, then smiled embarrassedly, "I'm just a little surprised... I didn't expect to see you here again."
Mel was stunned.
"Have we met before?"
Luo Yan said immediately.
"I saw you guys at the triumphal celebration in Thunder City. I happened to be in the crowd at that time."
Hearing this, Mel laughed out loud.
"I see. I am sorry for being so presumptuous... Okay, Mr. Bond, since you want to help each other, let's try to help each other. We are searching for a dangerous person in the maze. His name is Miranda, and he is an alchemist who also practices necromancy."
"An alchemist who also practices necromancy?!"
An expression of surprise appeared on Luo Yan's face and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly hid it carefully.
"How could a guy like that appear in the maze?"
Mel shrugged and continued.
"Who knows? He has legs all over his body. Before we catch him, he can go wherever he wants. But as for the reason, maybe it's the same reason why the church sent you to investigate the maze? We've also heard rumors that a necromancer appeared in the maze below Thunder County. Maybe that guy found the organization and flew over like a fly to the scent? In short, that madman is responsible for several murders, and they are serious cases... You'd better be careful."
As he spoke, Mel took out a piece of straw paper with a portrait printed on it and handed it to Luo Yan.
"This is a wanted warrant, don't pass him by."
Luo Yan nodded carefully.
"I'll be careful... Also, if I find any trace of him, how should I inform you?"
Mel said casually.
"It's very simple. Just tell the sheriff of Silver Pine Town. The guys there will report the news up the chain of command, and it will eventually get to me."
Luo Yan smiled when he heard that.
All right.
It seems that the task of passing the message has fallen into the hands of our own people again.
But if he really found the person, he had no intention of notifying these guys.
"I'll keep an eye on it... Also, if you have any clues about the undead, please pass them on to the church in Thunder City."
Mel grinned.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Of course, I would do it even if you didn't tell me."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, then said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.
After watching the group leave, Luo Yan waved his hand and dispersed the illumination spell floating beside him. Compared with this kind of sacred spell, he really preferred to use "Vision of the Dead" and directly open the night vision to move in the dark.
Standing next to Luo Yan, Sarah looked at him in confusion and asked.
"Don't you want to kill them?"
Luo Yan smiled faintly and said.
"I did plan to do so at first, but now I have changed my mind. Keeping them will help increase the alchemist's sense of urgency."
After a pause, he continued.
"...Also, I'm quite interested in that knight brother named Mel. Perhaps it won't be long before we can get another spy in the Knights of Grand Duke Campbell's Order."
Sarah muttered with her head down.
"Sarah...hates that guy."
Luo Yan touched her head.
"I understand. Some of his ideas are really annoying, but that's not just his problem. It's a common problem in the Ryan Kingdom and even in the human world on the surface. Saint Sith can leave the lost child alone, but the Demon King still has to give the lost child a chance to return to the right path... Give him a chance, okay?"
Sarah gave him a confused look, then nodded.
"Since the Demon King has said so... then, give him a chance."
"So good."
Luo Yan nodded approvingly.
It seemed that her rebellious period had passed. Sarah did not resist his touch. Instead, her cat ears swayed from side to side, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
However, petting cats is really addictive, so Luo Yan quickly withdrew his hand and said to the two zombies walking out from the shadows.
"Things have changed a little, I have to say hello to my friends in Nightmare Land... That's all for today."
Recently, Missy and Yousi have been taking turns to stay in the Blood Hall below the Demon King's territory. Anything can be conveyed to Queen Sissi through them.
If the alchemist is still somewhere on the second floor, it shouldn't be too difficult for the demons in Nightmareland to find him.
I’m afraid this guy has gone to a deeper place.
As he spoke, Luo Yan casually opened the attribute panel to confirm. He didn't expect that he had upgraded to the next level in the past few days.

"Power? Why is there a little added to the power?"
Luo Yan stroked his chin, puzzled.
He thought that he didn't seem to swing the wand to hit the monster, and he had always used magic to kill the monster, so how could it be added to the strength? At this time, Luo Yan suddenly noticed that Sarah was looking at this side expectantly, and immediately realized what the other party wanted to do.
Ever since he helped her improve her soul level, he has been able to see her attribute panel, just like Arakdo and the others.
However, they are not players after all, and have no access to the "Catastrophe OL" system, so they cannot confirm their own attribute panels.
"Actually, there's no need to keep staring at it. Levels and attributes are just for reference. What you need to improve now is your control over your strength... Never mind, I'll help you take a look."
Unable to bear to disappoint those eyes filled with longing, Luo Yan casually opened her attribute panel and took a look for her.

"Sarah, have you gotten stronger?"
That face, half nervous and half expectant, looked like a student standing at the office door waiting for his report card to be announced.
Looking at Sarah who was looking at him eagerly, Luo Yan smiled, raised his thumb and gave her an encouraging look.
"Not bad, not bad, you're already at level 6."
It’s still cool at a low level.
If you encounter a bronze-level monster, you can gain a lot of experience.
Once you have mastered the skills of gaining experience, the speed of leveling up will be like riding a rocket.
Hearing the praise from the Demon King, Sarah's expression suddenly became as happy as if she had eaten roasted pig's trotters, and her erect cat ears swayed automatically without wind.
"……Very good."
The group returned towards the direction of the cemetery.
Not far away, the people of Longxing Tianxia who were hiding in the shadows felt sorry for the Knights and the Demon King walking away.
There was no fight.
There's no way to pick peaches now - ugh! Rescue the Demon King!
"Brother, are we just going to let them go like this?" Long Xing Baili looked reluctant and glanced at Long Xing Wanli.
Long Xing Wanli nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Let them go for now."
He had seen a post by a player on the forum before, which seemed to mention a hidden favorability system.
Since the Demon King has decided to let these guys go, it would be better for them, as the "Devil's minions", not to go against the Demon King.
Just as he was thinking this, a row of dark green task pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Mission: Find the Alchemist "Miranda"]
[Description: The alchemist wanted by humans on the surface is located somewhere in the underground maze, suspected to be the second floor area. If you find a target who looks similar to the picture, please report his location immediately.]
Long Xing Wanli was in high spirits.
"It's time to live!"
