Chapter 45: Return to the City and Initial Discussion of Business [Requesting for further reading]

The collapse is not too deep.

It didn't take much effort for these guys to dig out the remains of monsters covered in dirt.

It's just that these wreckage materials and magic cores have all been taken away without exception.

Then they dug up the nearly naked bodies of the succubus and the quilboar.

The storage bag carried by the wild boar Ragnar was missing, a pair of threaded magic horns on the succubus's forehead were cut out, and the wound of cutting out the magic core appeared on the back of the neck as usual.

Ashy dust covered the body's surface, and soil filled the scars.

The adventurers at the scene were in an uproar.

Even the seemingly calm spellcaster Bielsa looked shocked after seeing Ragnar's ugly corpse.

"Damn it, why is this pig head here?"

"And she's still naked..."

Bielsa looked very ugly as he stared at the dead pig's face covered in dirt.

He and Ragnar have no friendship.

Just because they were drinking sour peach wine together not long ago.

Unexpectedly, before a water clock passed, it turned into a corpse.

"The magic core and materials were extracted very cleanly."

"There are definitely veterans cleaning up the scene."

"The destruction of the crypt is also very strange. Even after digging into the depths, no corpses guarded by the magic pillars were found."

"Theoretically any attack on the magic pillar will attract the guards to cross the passage."

An adventurer wearing a single lens on a lanyard standing by the pit gave his analysis.

These clues were not difficult to find and immediately aroused everyone's resonance.

"Take the bodies of Succubus and Ragnar, and everyone should return to the city as soon as possible."

"Leave the trouble here to the subsequent entrustment team to handle!"

His words were echoed again, because this idea happened to be what everyone thought too.

The adventurers who accepted the log-level commission did not have much ambition.

Basically, they treat this commission as a leisure time, and no one wants to get into unknown trouble.

Chen Xuan winked at Ophelia and Rebecca respectively, then raised his right hand and echoed loudly.

"That's right!"

"The situation here is still left to the guild to decide."

"Those who are interested can stay at the farm and temporarily join the subsequent commissioning team!"

The cat lady and the half-elf looked at each other and started shouting too.

"right…"

"Go back!"

Less than two water hours have passed since arriving at the farm.

Excluding the waiting time for commissions and the time spent on the road, there are still more than three hours until the pseudo-night arrives.

Converted to Blue Star time, that’s nearly ten hours!

He didn't want to spend the night at the farm as entrusted. Counting pseudo-nights and moonlight nights, he would have to wait for more than thirty hours before returning to Magatan City. This part of the time would be wasted.

Chen Xuan still has many things to do, including what the succubus said before he died.

The "Magatan City is about to be destroyed" and the so-called "secret door" she mentioned need to be investigated urgently.

There were also business issues, and he had to discuss the details with Ophelia as soon as possible.

Finally, Chen Xuan himself is not willing to spend the night outside the city. Here he needs to be extra careful even [crossing the border] to return to Blue Star.

Adventurers are not fools. If they leave or disappear for a long time, they will definitely become suspicious.

Therefore, he strongly supported the proposal of returning to Magtan City.

There was a strong voice on the scene, and even if Bielsa was unwilling to do so, he could only follow the trend.

Everyone headed back to the farm with the two bodies.

After meeting the shrewd farm owner, halfling Brendan Zeman, he briefly told him the situation in the forest.

Then everyone took the three mule carts they came with and returned to the city.

…

After struggling for nearly an hour, Chen Xuan and others finally returned to the city.

Everyone first went to the Adventurer's Guild in Qingbaiye, West District, to deliver the commission and report the situation.

The collapsed crypt and the corpses of succubi and quilboars attracted the attention of the guild.

Higher-level commissions are released accordingly.

The investigation order they undertook was concluded.

All participants received 1 merit point, which is a kind of point within the guild system.

There was also a team reward of 150 kronor, which was distributed among 14 people. Each person received 10 kronor, plus a few pennies.

After the completion, adventurers who are interested in the follow-up can accept the advanced investigation order commission, while those who are not interested can gather and disperse on the spot.

Chen Xuan was going to take Rebecca and Ophelia to find a quiet bar to have a drink.

But just when the three of them walked out of the Adventurer's Guild.

The young dwarf warrior suddenly caught up with him.

"Chen Xuan, I want to buy your cigarettes."

Sidney Stonehammer took out a broken money bag from his arms and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Faced with this request, Chen Xuan raised the corners of his mouth, reached under his clothes and took out two boxes of soft white sand and threw them directly into his hands.

"Give it to you."

"No! You must give money!"

Chen Xuan ignored him and turned around with a smile to leave with the two girls.

It’s just two packs of white sand, not a good cigarette.

Behind him, Sidney Stone Hammer clutched two packs of cigarettes and chased after him.

"I live in Blackstone Lane. If you need help in the future, you can come to me."

"Everyone in the alley knows me!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand and left with a graceful step.

…

In the private room of the Blue Charm Tavern in the West End.

Ophelia is discussing trade matters with Chen Xuan.

Kitten girl Rebecca Miri was holding a glass of sweet and sour juice with empty eyes, as if she was in a state of distraction.

She remembered her sick mother and brother Nick at home, but she could not leave her master behind.

Chen Xuan did not drink the drinks provided here, but took out a bottle of mineral water from the storage compartment.

After nearly an hour of long discussion, he and Ophelia made arrangements for the next step.

The tentative sales items are as follows:

A 28-bar bicycle, the kind with a large flat back seat.

For Feizhai Happy Water, he planned to directly purchase cola syrup and carbonated freshly brewed machine.

For aluminum, just buy finished aluminum ingots directly, eliminating the need to use cans to smelt them.

As for the magic tears, which are mercury, he planned to get several kilograms ready.

The packaging and sales processes can all be handled by Ophelia.

Borrowing the channels of the Colchicum business group, but need to share a part of the profits.

Ophelia herself plays the role of middleman.

She will tightly block some links so that all clues will reach her.
