Chapter 258: Conspiracy and Trap

However, this is a problem to be pondered later.

Gao De put away this handful of Jin Hui Wheat just to be prepared.

Subsequently, he took a few more Jin Hui Wheat grains from the pottery jar, rubbed off the wheat shell, and very naturally and smoothly sent the wheat grains to Fu Luo La's mouth.

Fu Luo La's nostrils flared slightly, sniffing the smell of the wheat grains, and only then did she open her mouth with confidence, letting Gao De feed the wheat grains into her mouth.

After chewing lightly twice, Fu Luo La immediately narrowed her big eyes happily.

The taste of Jin Hui Wheat was clearly very much to her liking.

Over here, Luo Yiqi and Catherine started chatting.

The content they were talking about was exactly the matter they entrusted to Elder Grant today.

The two didn't avoid Gao De; I don't know if they felt it didn't matter if he heard it, or something else? "Even with Elder Grant's power, wanting to thoroughly investigate this matter and find useful information will definitely take half a month." Catherine rubbed the Jin Hui Wheat in her hand casually while saying to Luo Yiqi.

"Then what can we do during this period? Just wait?" Luo Yiqi scratched his head and asked.

"Not very good; two hunters, staying in Phoenix for so long for no reason, if the mastermind has eyes and ears in Phoenix, it's very easy to notice our abnormality." Catherine said decisively.

"Take one or two bounty missions posted in Phoenix," she thought for a moment and made a decision: "Hunters in the sect, when they don't have missions, often come to Phoenix to take bounty missions to earn some extra money; it's reasonable and reasonable."

"Bounty missions?" Gao De heard this term and was instead attracted, couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

Catherine glanced at Gao De sideways, but didn't care about Gao De's interruption, and even explained to him with her usual cold attitude: "Phoenix is the only place in the Northern Realm that can be called a city. Since it is a city, so-called illegal and criminal acts will naturally occur."

"Phoenix itself does not have a strict sense of law enforcement team; when encountering these illegal and criminal acts, it is generally the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe that sends hunters to arrest and punish these illegal and criminal people."

Gao De nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Indeed, in a place where even professional soldiers cannot be supported, where is the financial resources to support a "law enforcement team"?

Catherine continued: "But the discovery of these acts always has a lag. If you encounter cunning people, they may have already fled Phoenix before the people of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe discover it."

"The Enduring Zhenbing Tribe naturally will not allow these people to remain at large; after all, once there are many such things, the authority of Phoenix will be gone."

"However, wanting to track these people on the vast snowfield is in itself an extremely time-consuming thing, so in order to save labor costs and improve efficiency, Phoenix will issue bounty missions to hunt down these fugitives."

"Everyone can take bounty missions and take the heads of these fugitives in exchange for bounties."

"The so-called bounty is generally Ice Marrow."

Ice Marrow has always been the hardest currency in the Northern Realm.

"So that's how it is." Gao De suddenly realized.

"However, developing to this day, the content of bounty missions is no longer limited to hunting down fugitives," Luo Yiqi added at the right time: "Various strange requirements will appear in bounty missions."

Isn't this a "mission hall"?

Gao De expressed that he was very familiar with this.

And this is exactly the professional field of the "hunters" of the Snowfield Guardians; no wonder Catherine said that the hunters in the sect often come here to earn extra money.

This is playing to their strengths.

"I'll go take a suitable bounty mission and come back later." Luo Yiqi volunteered.

Catherine nodded lightly.

In the next few days, Gao De's life became unusually peaceful.

Luo Yiqi and Catherine took a bounty mission and followed the trend, becoming busy as if they were really here in Phoenix to earn extra money.

As for Gao De, who was hit by the Law-Forbidden Ice Needles, he was thrown in Phoenix by them, without much control at all.

One is trusting the Law-Forbidden Ice Needles, and the second is that after these days of getting along, they also believe that Gao De is a smart person and will not make unwise decisions. The two were "not at home," and Gao De didn't sit still, starting to restore the cultivation of 【Qingmu Changsheng Jing】 while taking Fu Luo La to stroll around Phoenix like walking through streets and alleys.

However, the picking-up-leaks event on the first day was ultimately just an individual case.

After this, he didn't encounter such good things again.

After all, even if the "cultural level" of the Northern Realm people is lower, the basic eye for things is still there; few people treat magic plants as worthless weeds.

The reason why that magic plant was "pearl covered in dust" was mainly because it was still in the seedling stage and had already wilted, losing its divinity.

But in fact, only his life was peaceful.

During these days, many waves had risen silently.

Snowfield Guardians, headquarters.

"My lord, it has been confirmed that the people investigating us are from the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe." In the shadows, a slightly old voice sounded.

"Enduring Zhenbing Tribe?" Another voice was full of energy.

"The Enduring Zhenbing Tribe and our sect have always had little to do with each other; why would they suddenly investigate us..." The owner of the voice paused for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Recently, is there anyone in the sect who is in Phoenix?"

"My lord, I thought so too, so I investigated and found that during this period, only two people in the sect appeared in Phoenix."

"Which two?"

"The Saintess and Luo Yiqi."

"They?! Do you know why the Saintess appeared in Phoenix?"

"According to intelligence, the two of them took bounty missions in Phoenix and are performing missions." The old voice reported.

"Bounty missions..." The other voice paused for a moment, seemingly thinking, "No, there's a problem."

"Forgive my ignorance, what do you mean?"

"According to the news from the branch below, someone once claimed to be entrusted by Baruk to come and report the news, but the person didn't know what he discovered later and fled overnight, and the Saintess happened to be around at that time, so she took over this matter."

"Since that's the case, their mission now should be tracking this person; how could they turn to Phoenix to do some bounty missions?"

"And just after they appeared in Phoenix, the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe inexplicably sent people to investigate us?"

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"My lord means, the Saintess discovered something?!" The old voice hesitated.

"Although we threw the matter to Baruk and slaughtered the Snowfur clan clean, destroying all evidence, it is not foolproof; there are still many spell means that can trace some clues."

"The Saintess happens to possess some such strange means." The magic user called my lord said coldly.

"Do not harbor any fluke mentality; if what we have done is discovered, there will be no place for us in the sect."

"Better to strike first."

"This is the Saintess?!!" The old voice was stunned, clearly having understood the other party's meaning, and said subconsciously.

"The Saintess counts for nothing to me... if she dies, just change another one," "My lord" was still indifferent, "However, it is not good to take action directly; it is easy to leave traces. Let's use a trick of borrowing a knife to kill."

"Borrowing a knife to kill?"

"Borrow the knife of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe..."

Small whispering sounds sounded.
