Nobody told me it's not a game

Chapter 292 A Bag of Astrolabe
"Lord Lauren..."

Heavenly King City, the hunting group headquarters, Lauren's office.

Days of thunderstorms made people panic.The fireplace was blazing, and Lauren sank in the chair, rubbing between her brows irritably.

"Boom!"

Thunder rang, Lauren opened her eyes, and looked at the figure standing at the door.

That was his adjutant.

Lauren asked, "What's wrong?"

The adjutant's face was livid: "A few more brothers died. Died of heart paralysis."

"..."

An unknown fire rushed straight to his forehead, Lauren's eyes were straightened, and it took a lot of effort to restrain the anger!

He took a deep breath and asked, "How many brothers? How many?"

"Uh. 27."

Bang!
With just one blow, Lauren smashed the desk in front of him in half!
Amidst the loud noise, he raised his head, his bloodshot eyes flashed like a beast: "How many? 27?"

"……Yes."

The adjutant was a little nervous, and he loosened his collar.

It takes a lot of money to train an adventurer. It is not easy to accept the death of 27 soldiers during a war, let alone now when there is no war?
Lauren's family is not rich.

27 people are one-tenth of his troops, how could he calm down!
The adjutant continued: "Lord Lauren, there is one more thing that I have to report to you... We caught two deserters."

Lauren looked up sharply.

The adjutant waved his hand and shouted, "Come in!"

Two burly men who were tied up staggered into the room.There was no shame on their faces, but a sense of lawlessness.

Lauren doesn't know them.

Sitting behind the broken desk, he looked at them with contempt: "Be cowardly before fighting, and flee in embarrassment! What about your glory as adventurers? Or... I treated you badly?"

One said loudly: "Lord Lauren, you have treated us well. The situation is really dangerous, so we have to leave."

Another person also said: "You guys are fooling my brothers for fools, then don't blame us for being dishonest!"

Lauren squinted, trying to hold back her anger.

The latter person continued: "Lord Lauren, you don't know how many brothers have died in the past two days, do you? The brothers who were alive and talking and laughing one moment suddenly clutched their chests and died suddenly on the spot the next moment! Investigation, you actually said that this is a sudden illness... Hehe, what kind of sudden illness can make an adventurer die suddenly? What kind of sudden illness can make ten or twenty brothers fall into the trap?"

Lauren, one head and two older, he really couldn't answer this question.

It's not that he can't or dare not say it, the main reason is that even he doesn't know why.Their opponents are like gods of death, silently reaping human lives.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the silence in the room was deafening!
He looked up to find his adjutant silent.

The two glow guards who escorted the two people in were also silent.

Those people were the same as the two deserters, and they all looked up at Lauren, demanding answers.

No.

This is not reasonable.

Since ancient times, how can deserters question the leader?The kid aggressively questioned Lauren, no matter right or wrong, the adjutant and the escort should give him a kick and scold him for being bold!
But now?
They are indifferent, and they also want to know the answer——

How did the brothers who died suddenly in the past two days die?

Is there a way to deal with it?

Next……

Is it their turn?

Lauren wanted to get angry. He wanted to reprimand the people in front of him for their lack of dignity, and even thought that it was not wrong for him to draw a sword to kill people now.

But he soon realized that he didn't have the strength to get angry.

"Heart paralysis. Even Langbo Erma, the heavenly cut holy sword of the fourteenth realm, died of heart paralysis..."

If this "curse" happens to him, Lauren, does he have the means to deal with it?

It seems, no.

Lauren sighed wearily, and said, "It's not that I'm hiding something, it's that I don't know what happened."

"..."

The adjutant was silent for a moment, and boldly asked: "Lord Lauren, does the arc priest know? If she can come forward to appease, I think it can stabilize the morale of the army."

"Arc won't show up. The senior cadres in the guidance group, they won't show up."

In the flashing thunder, Lauren looked at the adjutant.

The smile on his lips was sarcasm: "No one can determine the cause of the 'heart paralysis'. For the time being, they only think it is a curse. The people in the guidance group were worried about being recruited and took the initiative to self-isolate. I heard that those big shots even did it themselves. I’m worried that the curse is related to food.”

Ah this.

The adjutant was at a loss: "Then we..."

Lauren leaned over, the drawer of the desk could not be pulled out, and he used his strength to take out a letter that had already been written: "There is a pawn shop on Tianwang Avenue, the one with the blue curtain. That is Xue Qiangwei specially left us a communication channel, you take this letter and hand it to the shopkeeper."

The adjutant took it and saw six words neatly written on the envelope: "Respectfully, General Tianwang".

He looked up: "This is?"

Lauren looked gloomy, and suddenly recalled the night when he and Arc Light went to meet Long Tactician.

At that time, he thought that General Tianwang was just a sick tiger with no teeth.

but now……

He shook his head and said: "I can't understand the methods of General Tianwang. The legend is indeed a legend. The person who can bring a community to No. 1 and face the gods more directly... I can't guess after all. I admit defeat and surrender. , I hope this letter will make him forgive me and let me wait!"

"...I'll do it right away."

The adjutant nodded immediately, turned and left.

Lauren looked at the two deserters in the room, waved his hands, and said, "Kill them, and the pension will be doubled."

"Yes."

The escort followed the two deserters and left the room.

The rain outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, gradually becoming a pouring trend.

……

……

Heavenly King City, Dragon's Manor.

Zuo Chang was sitting in front of the stove, he lowered his head and looked at the god in his arms: "Can't you go out yet?"

The god of heaven resolutely refused: "No, this rain is the rain of reconnaissance, and it is a magical spell cast by the Hesse family, the descendants of the water god. Once the two of us are exposed to the rain, they will immediately be aware of the specific location-at this stage, It’s better to keep a low profile.”

Zuo Chang looked at the pitch-black sky and asked, "Is their mana unlimited? How long will it rain?"

"Don't worry. We can never go out, can they keep raining?"

"..."

It seems to be the case.

"Father."

"General."

The door was opened, and Makoto, Asuka, Long Tactician and War Demon returned at the same time. Zuo Chang asked, "Did you get the astrolabe?"

Long Strategist opened a sack in front of him and said, "You have fulfilled your mission. All the astrolabes have been retrieved."

Zuo Chang stretched his neck to look——

A bag full of "star disks".
