The receptionist at the counter looked at the girl in front of him with some confusion.

If the identity is not fake...

This guy is a C-rank adventurer, right?

Why would you do something so uncommon for an adventurer?

Can't you even do the most basic "understanding" of the commission content?

The receptionist sighed slightly, regrouped, and suggested to Elsa:

"How about this? Send this commission to the guild backstage first, then wait in the lobby for a while. If you are lucky, the backstage staff will match you with suitable teammates...how do you think?"

"Oh... ok...ok..."

When Elsa heard that someone could solve the problem, she immediately agreed.

Elsa returned to the hall as if she had been granted amnesty, found a seat and sat down, reaching out to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

In the previous college assessments, my classmates and teammates helped me handle these commissioned matters. This is the first time I have completed it independently...

It seems that I still can't live without people...

......

Not long after, when Elsa lowered her head and played with the decorations on the staff...

"Um, hello?"

"Ah, hello!"

Elsa straightened up reflexively and looked at the person who greeted her.

Two women dressed as priests appeared in sight.

One of them was smiling widely, while the other had a ribbon tied around his eyes, looking very tough.

It also reminded Elsa of some classic characters she had met in her past life.

"It's like this. I heard that you have a commission and are short of two people, so..."

Beatrice said.

"That's right, we need to gather three people to commission before we can start..."

Elsa nodded quickly.

"That's a great coincidence, do you think we can do it together?"

Beatrice also has her own ideas.

As a newly registered E-level adventurer, it is impossible for him to accept commissions with a higher degree of difficulty, and Isabella would most likely not allow it.

Beatrice's original intention was to help the adventurers outside the city, rather than staying in the city to do those tedious commissions.

But when I want to sleep, someone will give me a pillow. I thought that the ones on the commission list were hopeless, but I saw a team application that needed two people...

There is a C-rank adventurer and Isabella of unknown rank leading the team, which meets the requirements for forming a team according to the regulations...

So we can get out of town...

"Okay, of course."

Elsa just wanted to complete this commission as soon as possible, no matter who the person was.

It would be even better if she was a big sister or a little sister...

"That's good... By the way, my name is Beth, and this is Ira. I'm a newbie who just registered as an adventurer. Please take care of me..."

"Okay, okay. Please take care of Miss Beth... and Miss Ira!"

Thus, by mistake, an inexplicable temporary team of three people was formed...

......

The northern foothills of the Kush Mountains, the Gobi Desert.

The Campino delegation, who had already set up camp here, waited for Maglock, who had settled Inissa.

"Why are you......"

Maglock didn't expect to meet this group of people on the way back, and there were even more people...

I thought the people from Azrael's family were just being polite... I didn't expect they were actually waiting for me here...

"Lord Maglock, have you finished the matter at hand?"

When Nagash saw Maglock coming back alone, he knew that he had settled the demon child.

"Hmm...what's going on now? I thought you guys had already entered the city..."

"After you left, the situation in the desert got worse... You see, many people here are merchants from all over the place... and adventurers... all trapped here... We were planning to wait for more people to cross the sandstorm together..."

Melissa also stepped forward and explained to Maglock.

Maglock then discovered that the sandstorm had started to rage again, and the shadows of the dead could be vaguely seen in the wind and sand...

But no matter how restless the desert is, it never spreads beyond the desert.

"Let's go to the tent first, Lord Maglock. There is no rush to enter the city."

......

"In the year XX of the mainland calendar... an outbreak occurred in the Muchashar region... the specific manifestations were..."

As soon as he entered the tent, Maglock saw a girl dressed like a common traveler sitting on the ground, muttering to herself and writing something down quickly in a small notebook.

"This is?"

Maglock asked.

"Leowen Raiko, nice to meet you, Sir Maglock. I have heard of your great name for a long time."

Without waiting for the two people behind her to answer, the girl began to introduce herself without even turning her head.

"Have we... met before?"

"I haven't met you, but that doesn't stop me from getting to know you. After all, good stories always come to you on their own."

"We met her in the mountains, and since it was on the way, we gave her a ride..." Melissa said in a low voice.

To be honest, this girl exudes a weird aura in her every move, whether she's talking or doing something...

At least Melissa felt that she didn't get along well with her. I don't know what Nagash thinks, but the two of them had a good chat along the way... From the east to the west of the continent, from ancient legends to current affairs...

Although he looks young, he knows a lot...

Maglock didn't think much about Melissa's explanation.

"Let's talk about the most important thing first..."

Nagash sat down and got down to business.

"Lord Maglock, I heard something from those adventurers...it seems to be related to you?"

"..."

Maglock knew that the news would eventually spread, so he did not avoid the topic.

"So, now the crime of killing the Templar Assassin has been pinned on me?"

"Hmm? No... that's not it."

Nagash's words were unexpected.

"Now the whole city of Freedum is looking for a man named Yingzi, not you, Lord Maglock..."

"Why?"

Maglock was puzzled.

Why didn't Shay take the blame on himself?

And...who is Yingsi?

......

Maglock didn't know the ins and outs of it, but Nagash, as the helmsman of an ancient assassin family, knew the Shadow Heirs very well...

Although he has not been exposed to the actual situation and does not know the inside story.

But the church will not take such a step lightly or based on mere speculation.

Since the church has mentioned the word "Shadow Heir", it means that there must be someone or something closely related to Shadow Heir in the city of Freedum, and this person or thing... is very important to the church.

In fact, the legend of Shadow Heir has always been circulating within the Azrael family.

His legendary life blessed by the Night Mother has attracted countless assassins.

Nagash is no exception.

It's a pity that the two were born in different eras and will never have the chance to meet again...

Leowen, who was still recording, became interested when he heard the word "shadow heir". He temporarily stopped writing, stood up and said excitedly:

"We must enter the city immediately! I want to see with my own eyes whether the Kageji who is rumored to be dead is still alive!"

"If that's the case... the record will have to be changed..."

What on earth did you write down in this notebook?

Melissa didn't understand what this guy was trying to do.

Just a history buff?

What is the point of recording these?

"Don't get excited, Miss Ruiko, now is not the time to go into the city..."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's not a big deal if we put this off for a while. Compared to this... Sir Maglock, tell me about what you saw and heard in Danger Pass and the Kush Mountains!"
