Chen Mo got up early. After practicing, he came to the castle market.

As the sun rises, a large number of adventurers are eating breakfast, checking and packing their luggage, and are getting ready to start a new journey.

As for the peasants in the castle, they will not leave the castle until the guards drive away any poisonous insects and beasts that may be hiding in the wheat fields.

"Have you heard? There is a problem with the Howell family. They were attacked by an unknown force. Even the adventurers were not spared. Several adventurer teams have already issued warnings. Do not go to Howell. I don’t think the family’s supplies are groundless.”

Chen Mo, who was also eating breakfast, heard the conversation of the adventurers next to him.

"These bastards actually attacked adventurers. Do they think we adventurers are vegetarians? If this is true, we must report this to the Adventurers Association when we return to Glory City!"

Adventurers are different from these family lords.

Perhaps from the perspective of small geographical units, the lords are the core of grassroots rule, but from the perspective of larger geographical units, adventurers are the masters of the world. However, the relatively isolated and closed geographical environment of this world limits different Large-scale exchanges between regions have formed the characteristics of large mixed settlements and small settlements.

"ah?"

Another adventurer was shocked when he heard this.

He was wearing animal skin clothes and a gray cloak. He was about 1.75 meters tall and carried a big sword on his back. He looked honest, reliable and powerful.

"Is there another war? This time it has even affected us adventurers. It seems that the deterrent effect of Glory City on these castles is getting weaker and weaker."

Coincidentally, this person was sitting next to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo slowly put down the black bread in his hand and interjected: "I heard from my friend yesterday about what happened there. It was said that several captains died. Didn't you hear anything?"

"No!"

The man touched his head, looking confused.

"I just heard that the Howell family was unable to clean up the intruding alien beasts in time because of its weakened strength. In recent months, more and more alien beasts have been wandering around, and some guards were killed or injured as a result."

After a pause, the man continued: "As for the reason, it is said that some time ago, a low-level dragon was attracted to the Glory City Crater, which not only killed some workers collecting sulfur mines, but also the low-level dragons entrenched nearby. All the alien beasts suffered a disaster and fled in large numbers, which led to an increase in the number of alien beasts in other areas of the Glory Mountains, leaving the weakened families struggling to cope. "

"oh?"

Chen Mo showed surprise. This was an unexpected surprise. It was new information that he had never heard of.

Next, Chen Mo used a similar method to find the next adventurer. He kept talking to each other and tried to obtain information. He was very familiar with it.

As the sun gradually rose, the adventurers left one after another, and Chen Mo couldn't help but change his target.

The market gradually became lively, with the shouts of vendors coming and going. After the guards patrolled outside the city, the farmers left the castle one after another and went to farmland to cultivate.

A girl who kept swinging the mallet to smash the black bread harder attracted Chen Mo's attention.

For no other reason than this girl is very beautiful!

It is for this reason that passing adventurers often take a few more glances at this girl. Even though her brown bread does not taste the best in the castle, her business is quite prosperous. Some bold adventurers, He will even take the initiative to strike up a conversation and tell the girl about some of his experiences after bragging about them.

After thinking about it.

In order to improve the efficiency of collecting intelligence, Chen Mo found a nearby guard captain and motioned for him to assist him.

With the help of the city guard captain, the girl immediately showed a look of fear and fear after seeing Chen Mo. She knew everything Chen Mo asked about.

"I...I heard that the eldest young master of the Howell family, Elon, seems to hate Commander Layton because once, he tried to insult the family of a knight under Commander Layton. After being caught by Commander Layton, he publicly Three hard lashes."

"By the way, there is also his cousin, Nader Howell's wife, who is also said to have a close relationship with Elon Howell. Many people have seen it. The two sides faced off in public, causing a storm in the city. I don't know what happened later. What, Nader Howell backed down, and the relationship between the two was rumored to be very tense privately.”

The girl finished talking about all the gossip she knew about the Howell family in one breath. Most of them were about Elon Howell. Linfeng's handsome appearance is another factor in his romantic and romantic deeds.

Even the girl herself couldn't help but turn red when she told this information.

Time passes.

After the girl could no longer think of any gossip, Chen Mo nodded and signaled to the guard captain behind him that he could leave.

"Right!"

The girl suddenly added: "I heard from an adventurer that ghost vines appeared in the forest near Howell Castle."

"Ghost vine?"

Facing Chen Mo's question, the girl said: "It is said to be an extremely terrifying mutant plant that can migrate like an animal. In addition to attacking large creatures near it, the most terrifying thing is that it will also pollute the fertile land under the sun." The land will be barren for several years, or even more than ten years!"

Chen Mo heard this and reacted.

"In other words, it will pollute the farmland? What about the adventurer? Did he say where the ghost vine is?"

The girl shook her head and said, "He left a few days ago."

"Is this so?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Mo took out a few copper coins, handed them to the girl, and said with a smile: "I have wasted a lot of your time, let's use these copper coins as compensation."

Seeing this, the girl suddenly showed joy. She just told the other party some news and got so many copper coins. You know, a piece of black bread only costs two copper coins.

Seeing the girl like this, Chen Mo asked again as if inadvertently: "By the way, I heard that Master Lacy had a strange disease when he was young. What is going on? Do you know?"

"ah!"

The girl looked sad and sighed: "Master Lacy is a good man, and he will definitely become a kind lord in the future. It's just that God is always unfair. The young master got that strange disease when he was seven years old, and his health has been poor since then. Not good, not only can’t I work for a long time, but it is also said to be accompanied by some hidden diseases..."

The process of collecting information on Lacy Schumacher was unexpectedly smooth.

As the girl spoke eloquently, the image of Lacy Schumacher gradually came to life in Chen Mo's heart. It can be said that the history of the Schumacher family is the history of the three generations of Gude, Tangji and Lacy. Compared with the ancient families in the Glory Mountains that often have a history of hundreds of years, this is a rising star family.

Gud Schumacher, who single-handedly established the Schumacher family's dominance, has been Lacy Schumacher's idol since childhood.

Lacy, who was the same year, was very lively and cheerful.

Like the young men from other families, he looks a little naughty.

It wasn't until he was seven years old that he contracted a strange illness. Since then, he has been in frail health. Not only was he pale and slightly stature, but some rumors also revealed that his fiancée Lori Miller had openly ridiculed him. , saying that he is not a man.

This way.

The servants in the castle gradually spread the news that Master Lacy had a hidden illness.

As for Master Lacy's fiancée, Loli Miller, the marriage was reached six months ago after the lords of the two families met. However, Lori Miller didn't seem to like Master Lacy. It was not pleasant until that thing happened and Chen Mo and others came here.

"Looking at his character, he is a man who has extremely low self-esteem, but with the constant encouragement of his grandfather, he strives to move from the gloom to the light. This is a successor who is deeply loved by the people of the territory. He longs to be like his grandfather. Become a lord with excellent qualities instead of chasing those luxurious lives."

Only then did Chen Mo realize that he had missed some important information.

The real clue to this mission, Lori Miller!

A person who has been ignored by everyone, she is the true origin of this mission, the key clue to the direction of things, and a key figure who is likely to determine the future development of events.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but look at the girl again.

"Then can you tell me the story of Master Lacy's fiancée..."

night.

Six natural disaster victims gathered here to summarize the intelligence information they collected.

In addition to the information about the main members of the Howell family and the small bosses, the vast majority of this information is Elon Howell's various romantic deeds.

This guy can be said to be merciless and a real beast in disguise.

No wonder Lacy Schumacher hates him.

For him, the fact that his fiancée has an affair with such a person is not only a matter of the man's face, but also involves some deep-seated reasons, that is, in the eyes of his fiancée, his various excellent qualities are simply not comparable to the other person's appearance. Good skin.

For Lacy Schumacher, this was a blow to his faith.

Gud Schumacher's teachings to him have always been the driving force of confidence that supported his pursuit of a better life. Now these are worthless in the eyes of his fiancée, and he cannot let go of the anger caused by this.

Faith and politics can never be compromised.

This also explains why Lacy Schumacher launched the disaster mission only a few days after that incident, summoning Chen Mo and others to come to this world to complete his mission, and why he was hysterical from the beginning. Crazy, and then a series of complex emotions showed up.

This madness is not just for the non-existent love between the two.

The most important reason is that he feels that his beliefs have been insulted, so he behaves so horribly.

And as he gradually calmed down, the various complex emotions he showed were also due to faith, and because of Gud Schumacher's teachings from an early age, he had to stay calm and maintain his noble qualities.

He must keep himself good enough and do his best to prevent Schumacher, the upstart family of the Glory Mountains, from becoming the target of public criticism.
