Chapter 744: Or is this just a coincidence? (Please subscribe

On one side of the wall, a huge cork board was nailed, covered with all kinds of sheepskin task lists, from finding lost pets to hunting dangerous magic beasts, from escorting caravans to exploring ruins, everything was available.

Quite a few people were gathered in front of the task board, pointing and discussing in low voices.

Li Chen walked low-key to an empty table near the corner and sat down; this position happened to be able to hear the conversation of a few mercenaries at the next table who looked experienced and not weak in aura.

He ordered a glass of the most ordinary ale, but didn't drink it, just holding the cold ceramic wine glass with his hand, as if a tired traveler was resting, but in reality, all his attention was focused on the conversation at the next table.

There were four people at that table, three men and one woman.

One of the strong men with a ferocious scar on his face took a big gulp of wine, wiped his mouth and said: "The 'Wind Whisperer' family has spent a lot of money this time, buying 'Wind-Splitting Magic Wolves' crystals at a high price, wanting as many as they can get! I don't know what they want to do, they need this thing urgently. Brothers, after finishing this ticket, it's enough to be carefree for a while!"

The "Wind Whisperer" family he spoke of was a half-elf family with quite a reputation in Silver Glow City, famous for producing excellent archers and enchanters.

It is said that there are no pure elf races in this world; they are all half-elves.

Another lean man with flexible eyes shook his head and sighed: "I won't go with you this time, I took a private job, acting as a guard for someone, escorting a batch of goods to the 'Sighing Corridor'."

"What?! 'Sighing Corridor'?!" As soon as his voice fell, the other three at the table, including the female mercenary who had been playing with a dagger without speaking, all showed shock and disbelief at the same time.

The scarred strong man almost sprayed the wine in his mouth; he widened his eyes and lowered his voice: "Are you fucking crazy?! Is that a place for people to go? I heard that decades ago, a big shot in the Sage Realm went in confidently, wanting to explore the secrets inside, and what happened? He never came out again! He didn't even bubble! That's a Sage! How many lives do you fucking have to fill in?"

The lean man showed a trace of bitterness and helplessness on his face; he rubbed his fingers and whispered: "Of course I know the danger! But what can I do? The one at home is seriously ill and needs a high-level priest from the 'Life Temple' to stabilize her condition.

And she also needs medicine to maintain it. You know the expenses. This time the employer offered a very high price, and the advance deposit is enough to hire a priest. For this money, I can only fight it!"

His words were full of determination forced by life.

The others heard this and fell silent, no longer dissuading him, just patting him on the shoulder, their eyes complex.

Making a living on the border, everyone has times when they have no choice.

Li Chen listened quietly from the side, his eyes beneath the hood moving slightly.

He seemed to have seen a few words of record about the name "Sighing Corridor" in some ancient archives.

It is said to be a dangerous place that connects unknown spaces, full of weird laws and powerful existences, even more dangerous than the edge of the ancient battlefield outside Silver Glow City.

Did the Pope's itinerary before his disappearance have anything to do with this kind of dangerous place? Or is this just a coincidence?

He kept the "Wind Whisperer family" buying a large number of Wind-Splitting Magic Wolf crystals and the place name "Sighing Corridor" silently in his heart.

These seemingly inconspicuous pieces of information might be the fragments that piece together the truth.

He put a few copper coins on the table, like an ordinary passerby, stood up quietly, and left the noisy tavern. Next, he needed a more specific source of intelligence.

Not long after, Li Chen easily found the station of the Wind Whisperer family in Silver Glow City by relying on the fragmented information collected in the tavern and streets.

As a half-elf family with quite an influence in the city, their residence was very conspicuous.

It was a castle with quite an elf style located on the highlands in the eastern part of the city.

The castle was built of silver-white stone, the lines were smooth and elegant, the towering spires seemed to want to pierce the clouds, and the tower was entwined with ivy emitting a faint light. ===== CHAPTER 745 =====
