Chapter 884 Mark

As the sun rose again, the twenty-five temples in Nawea City rang the morning bells one after another.

Dang, Dang Dang!

With the loud and rhythmic ringing of bells, the people of Nawea City started their day.

Officials entered the chamber.

Businessmen went to markets and shops.

The civilians went to their respective places of work.

However, more people gathered outside Nawea City.

Some of these people are farmers, some are hunters, and most of them are businessmen.

As the most important city in the south, Navia City has become the largest political and commercial center in the entire south since it was liberated from the evil god by the 'hero' Egg three hundred years ago.

Every day, hundreds of merchants loaded with goods would come here, and then set off to various villages and towns with the same amount of goods.

When the gate of Navia City opened, the businessmen holding identity certificates lined up consciously, and next to them were the teams of farmers and hunters near Navia City.

Different from other cities, the farmers and hunters near Nawea City have a sense of arrogance in their eyes and faces. Although they do not live in the city, they are also from Nawea City and are different from outsiders.

The businessmen who often come to Nawea City are obviously used to the attitude of farmers and hunters.

Even the merchants who came here for the first time have undoubtedly heard of the rules here, and they all maintain a sense of humility.

These businessmen don't want to delay their entry into the city because of some unnecessary trivial matters.

You know, the city guards of Navia City are famous for being 'fair and selfless'.

"Two copper coins for each person, five for horses and mules, plus five more for those with carts!"

shouted the tax collector standing at the city gate.

There was a half-man-high wooden box at the opponent's feet. There was an iron lock on one side of the wooden box, and there was a thin gap on the box that could only fit copper coins.

Each passing businessman will invest corresponding taxes according to the composition of his team.

At the same time, let the city guards inspect the goods you brought.

The team moved forward in an orderly manner.

No accidents occurred.

But even so, it was already close to noon when Melzer discovered his three accomplices.

The sun above our heads was emitting a vicious light.

After Melzer signaled to his three accomplices, the three of them followed immediately, leading two horses pulling the cart.

Then, the four of them met in the 'Charging Stable' hotel.

"Melzer, how are you?"

One of the three people asked directly after entering the room.

Melzer did not answer, but instead took a step to one side, and Mimosa, wearing a hood, walked out of the room quickly.

"Melzer, you!"

Seeing the mimosa coming out, the person who asked the question immediately realized that something was wrong, but before the other party could say anything more, the other party's two accomplices passed out and fell to the ground.

"grown ups."

Melzer, who was controlled by the [Mesili Ring], bowed respectfully to Qin Ran who came out of the shadows.

"Is he the leader Pilk?"

Kieran asked, pointing to the one who spoke before.

"Yes, my lord."

Melzer said matter-of-factly.

Without hesitation, Kieran simply woke up the opponent and used the [Mesili Ring] to control the opponent again.

With Kieran's mental attributes, the other party was controlled without any resistance at all.

"grown ups."

As soon as he turned over, Pierke got up from the ground and saluted Qin Ran respectfully.

"Tell me everything you know about this operation."

Qin Ran said.

"Yes, my lord."

"I was one of the outposts and did not participate in the theft of the Holy Grail. In fact, I didn't even know how many people had stolen the Holy Grail before. Those two just asked us to use the honorific titles Your Excellency and Your Excellency. They, and then I witnessed their baptism.”

"The two gentlemen promised me a place for baptism, so I was willing to take the risk. I killed the merchant according to their instructions, disguised myself as the other person, mixed into the merchants' ranks, and returned to Navia City. "

The other party spoke truthfully.

"Did they give you a special mark?"

"Have you seen their faces?"

Qin Ran asked.

"There are markings, but I haven't seen their faces."

"They said that when we return to Nawea City, just hang a red cloth strip outside the window of the hotel where we live."

The other party nodded.

"Red cloth strip?"

Qin Ran smiled disdainfully.

He was more than 90% sure that when the red banner was hung up, those who appeared would definitely be city guards and temple knights.

The two people who really stole the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' were undoubtedly very cautious and cunning.

They had already planned to make the four of them scapegoats before selecting Melzer and Pierke, so Melzer did not know them.

In fact, except for Melzer, the three of Pierke are all outsiders.

Moreover, from beginning to end, the other two did not show their faces, and only relied on notes to direct the actions of the four people. Even during the baptism, their true faces were hidden.

"Is there anything else that deserves your attention?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"No."

The other party shook his head.

Then, Kieran asked a few more questions, and combined with Melzer's answers two days ago, a clearer picture of what happened appeared in Kieran's mind.

"The need for the Holy Grail for baptism shows that the two of them are not strong, or they are in urgent need of strength."

"Under such a premise, the other party was able to steal the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' and find a scapegoat... In other words, at least one of the two people should be related to the 'Temple of Thorns'."

"A person who can access the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' but is not very strong?"

Qin Ran guessed.

And along with such speculation, the prompt of the side mission rang in my ears.

Not one, but two.

[Discover the side mission: Merchant]

[Hongshang: A good disguise, but you have to act like a Hongshang! 】

…

[Discover the side mission: Daredevil]

[Bold act: Stealing the Holy Grail in the temple is not something ordinary people can do. Find these two thieves! 】

…

Kieran glanced at the two side missions with a hint of surprise.

He had already anticipated the emergence of side missions.

But what Qin Ran expected was a side mission related to stealing the 'Holy Grail of Thorns', not a business trip.

"Is there a side mission because it is related to the main mission?"

Kieran looked at the two side tasks and pondered for a moment, then looked at Mimosa.

"I have side mission tips here, do you have them?"

Qin Ran asked.

"No."

Mimosa immediately shook her head.

"Sure enough, side missions also require certain triggering conditions, and it doesn't just require forming a team and being together all the time."

Kieran, who lacked experience in teaming up to complete dungeons, concluded.

This is a subconscious behavior.

Just like his caution.

Kieran waved his hands to Melzer and Pierke, and after giving them a few quick instructions, he stood up.

"Get up, we need to go out for a walk!"

"The market this afternoon will definitely be very lively!"

"If we're lucky, we might even get something unexpected!"

Qin Ran said this.
