"The power bestowed by God, please follow my will and find a new inheritor..." The fingers moving along with the melodious singing voice instantly changed several gestures, and crystal drops of water condensed in the air. Gather together quickly and become a water polo about the size of a skull.The water polo is like a crystal, reflecting colorful light in the sun. After the dazzling light dims slightly, a blurred figure appears in the water polo, and it becomes more and more clear.

"Misty Island?" The slender fingers pierced the water polo viciously, and then turned to caressing his chin, and the long silver hair fell mischievously on his shoulders: "That is the territory of the blue monster, what is he going there for? "

There seemed to be many emotions flashing through the emerald green eyes for a moment, and he calmed down after a while: "Tsk, what a trouble, how can such a troublesome guy become an inheritor... Lord Arian, you are really giving me There's a problem..."

******

Time goes back to a day ago.

Timir sat obediently in front of Harpagon's bar and waited, but Lucius raised his voice impatiently and said to Harpagon: "Old man, why bother?"

Harpagon had a pair of glasses on his nose, and was stepping on the wooden ladder to find something on the bookshelf beside him. Lucius' voice almost made him fall off the ladder in fright.

"Hmph, you know I'm an old man, you should respect me, young man!" Harpagon fiddled for a while before he slowly climbed down the ladder with a pile of parchment rolls in his arms.

"Harpagon, you wouldn't intentionally choose some difficult tasks for us, would you?" Timmir randomly picked out a few rolls of sheepskin, and after just a few glances, he was speechless. "The first beauty's underwear...and the Fountain of Youth...I've never heard of it..."

Lucius leaned closer to Timir, rested his chin on his shoulder, glanced at the parchment and started laughing: "Harpagon, you still take the initiative to take out the tasks you want us to do. Alright~ Aren’t these things all meant to scare people?”

"Ahem!" Harpagon coughed a few times, and spread his hands innocently: "Don't say that, if you are willing to accept these tasks, I will not stop you."

"Looking at how old this parchment is, the first beauty and the client probably died of old age, do you want us to dig the grave?" Lucius looked at Harpagon with an idiot expression. "Or are you trying to use your power for personal gain?... Tsk tsk, I can't tell, you are still old and not ashamed!"

"Stinky boy, don't you know how to respect the old and love the young?" Harpagon became angry, and started to yell as he patted the table.

Lucius lazily put his hands on Timir's waist, indifferent to Harpagon's anger, and even made a grimace at Harpagon with his tongue out, just like Timir's usual mischievous expression towards Drow .Apakong suddenly felt that his mouth was so dry that there was nowhere to vent his anger, and he immediately went dumb.

"Lucius, don't bully Harpagon, he is so old..." Timir looked innocent, but what he said made Harpagon have the urge to vomit blood.

"Nonsense, I'm still very young..." Apakong looked viciously at the two guys in front of him who had worked so hard to attract them.

Timer smiled gently: "Okay, you are very young..." This was just a habitual comfort, and Timer didn't even realize that he was adding fuel to the fire.

"Pfft——" Lucius almost suppressed his internal injuries from laughing, and Timir was bewildered.

"Hmph, don't say I don't take care of you, it took me a lot of time to find such a simple task." Harpakon said, and took out a parchment, but his eyes clearly said: brat, You are dead!

"Go to the Gradient Moon Forest to find the King's Heroic Sword?" Timmir murmured.

"That's right!" Harpagon's expression became serious: "According to legend, this is a sword that can bring courage to people. The first king of the island country succeeded in subduing many people with the hero sword. Island... You just need to reach the center of the Misty Island's Gradient Moon Forest, take out the hero sword and bring it to the local Shedu to complete the mission..."

"It's that simple?" Lucius looked at Harpagon suspiciously, until he saw him awkwardly reaching out to wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead. "Old man, we are empty-handed..."

When Aba just felt a little guilty, he quickly said: "This is easy to handle, just speak up if you need anything."

Timir thought for a while: "We have nothing now, except for the clothes that need to be changed, and it is best to provide weapons... Well, there is also a bag of gold coins!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Abba Gong almost choked on his own saliva, "A... a bag of gold coins?"

"Old man, you said that you need to speak, you won't go back on your word?" Lucius squinted at Harpagon, with an unbeaten expression that seemed to say: I knew you were talking casually!

"I won't go back on my word, but you guys, be careful not to lose your life, I won't go to save you..." Apakong felt that his already old heart started to jump lively again, and the impulse that had disappeared for a long time returned. to the body.

"Very good, I'll leave it to you!" Lucius walked away with Timir in his arms, seeing that Harpagon was so angry that he almost bit a piece of wood.

It's done, it's too late to regret!

A day later, Timir and Lucius arrived at the flight port of Misty Island.Thanks to Apakong, Timir wore a white shirt, a leather vest, and a long sword in his waist, like a ranger.Lucius, on the other hand, was dressed in pitch black, and raised a staff in a pretentious manner.

It stands to reason that these two people are very withdrawn, and it is enough to attract attention that they can walk together, but they are quite young and handsome, like the young masters who have run away from a wealthy family.So in the eyes of others, this unreasonable existence has become reasonable.

They asked passers-by in a friendly manner where the Shedu Tavern was, until long after they left, some people were deeply fascinated by their appearance and temperament, and could not return to their senses for a long time.

The Isle of Misty is a small island on the outskirts of the Spryce Islands. Most of the island is covered by forests.Every morning, the sun always arrives at the island at the latest. Before that, the dense fog that diffused from the forest enveloped the entire island, and it would not dissipate until the sun came.

No one knows why there is thick fog after nightfall, but they call the forest that can swallow thick fog the Forest of Gradient Moon.On Misty Island, there are only islanders living on the outskirts of the forest and near the flight port. Every elder will warn the younger generation not to enter the Gradient Moon Forest alone.Because anyone who strays into the forest of gradual moon with the bravery of a common man or trespasses will often see no one alive and no corpse when he dies.

It is rumored that there is a cyan monster living in the Gradient Moon Forest. Some people have seen it cruelly tearing up the lonely people, but after escaping, the figure of the monster can't be lingered in their minds - the cyan hair In the dimly lit forest, there is a gloomy light. Its powerful body is as strong as a stone sculpture. What is especially beautiful is its pair of eyes. The rich color sometimes appears green or blue in the light, but at the moment of biting, it is so beautiful. It is between two colors.People who are often caught struggle first, and then they will be fascinated by it, waiting weakly to become food...

"Then, what does the cyan monster look like? Like a lion? Or an elephant?" Timir thought about it, and found that all the rumors didn't seem to mention the shape of the cyan monster.

"No one knows." The boss of Shedu on Misty Island is not an old man, but a middle-aged man. The only thing he has in common is that he is also called Apakong.

Lucius raised his eyebrows and smiled: "So, the guy who said he saw the cyan monster may also be spreading rumors."

Apakong of Misty Island looks simple and honest, but he is very shrewd and capable. Although he is honest and friendly on the surface, he is actually very cunning.He looked at Timir for a moment and then at Lucius, with a smile on his face, but he just didn't continue talking.

Lucius said indifferently: "When I was on Intercana Island, Apakong said that she could provide any help for the mercenaries. Could it be that Misty Island is different from other places?"

Harpagon smiled with a good temper: "That's true, but I also heard that you slashed that old guy from Intercana Island severely. It seems that the relationship between you is very good."

"Get to the point." Lucius sneered.

Apakong felt a little strange. The two young men in front of him were obviously rookies who had just been recruited into the underground mercenary organization, but one was so nervous that he was discussing the appearance of the cyan monster with great interest, while the other gave me a lot of attention just by looking at him. He brings unspoken pressure... who is this! "Actually, it's not just me here. In other Shedu, anyone who wants to obtain relevant information or help needs to provide corresponding rewards."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucius popped out a gold coin, which happened to fall into Harpagon's hands.

Abagon immediately smiled and took out two cloth bags the size of his palm: "The Hero Sword is in the depths of the Gradient Moon Forest, and you are likely to collide with the blue monsters. Just wear the herb bag I provided and be careful." , keep away from the cyan monster, and there will be no danger..."

"Timer, shall we stay here for one night or enter the Forest of Gradient Moon immediately?" Lucius put away the cloth bag and handed one to Timir, but his brows frowned unconsciously.

"What's the matter?" Timmel stretched out his fingers to caress Lucius's brow.

Lucius smiled when he heard the words, held Timir's hand, and touched his finger with his lips very ambiguously: "I'm fine!"

There was a gasp in the hall of Shedu.

There are not only Lucius and Timur here, but also some mercenaries from other islands who use this place as a resting place or come here to perform missions.

The underground mercenary organization has an unwritten rule that as long as someone accepts the task, the task will not be entrusted to others.The task cannot be given up, and it also has a relatively loose time limit. If the task cannot be completed within the specified time limit, the mercenary's ability value and credit will be reduced by one level.Mercenaries are professions full of adventure and excitement, so they are generally quite cautious when choosing tasks.The mercenaries who die during the mission will be respected, but they will be despised if they fail to complete the task beyond the time limit. Therefore, high-level mercenaries are also called honors exchanged for blood.

Except for small groups formed spontaneously, mercenaries rarely contact each other, and even have some hostility.But there is no one as close as Lucius and Timir.All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were on them, some with malicious intentions, and some with curiosity...

"Let's go to the Forest of Gradient Moon immediately. Anyway, we can't finish it in one day, and we need to spend the night in the forest." Timmir suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and shrank his hand forcefully, pulling it away from Lucius' hand.

"Apagon, we need a tent and some daily necessities." Lucius ignored the surrounding mercenaries, and said directly to Apagon, his tone clearly revealing his displeasure.

"Oh! Oh!" Harpagon felt his whole body go stiff when he was stared at by those black eyes, and he packed and handed over the things Lucius needed almost blankly.

Lucius looked at Harpagon with deep meaning, and he almost felt hairy, so he stretched out his hand to take it.

"Thank you." Timir greeted politely, and even smiled at Harpagon.

That kind of childlike and sincere smile dilutes the chill brought by Lucius, and Harpagon can't help but also smile, and even wave his hands: "You're welcome, you two go slowly..."

When they watched their figures leave Shedu, a mercenary suddenly shouted in a rough voice: "Happa Gong, why do you give them special treatment, and you don't charge for providing tents? I paid you three gold coins before. bought……"
