So that's it! Shepis looked at the prompt in the soul mark, and a trace of enlightenment flashed in his heart, and he shared the main task he received from Baron Phil with Xu Mo.

"Old K, you have been guessed. Space really didn't require us to participate in the battle for the throne. The mission goal is actually such a thing!"

Xu Mo carefully examined the main task conveyed by Serpis, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. After entering the living room, half-elf Phil first hypocritically and politely with Serpis, then slowly got into the topic and proposed the purpose of hiring the Red Rose Organization.

As Xu Mo thought, Phil hired Red Rose not to assassinate the political enemy of the third prince Brian, but to ask Red Rose to send a powerful elite team to escort Phil and his group to a certain area.

After receiving this request, Xuepis immediately rejected Phil's request for employment. This was not the result of discussion between Xuepis and Xu Mo, but the soul mark of Xuepis directly showed that this was an incomplete main task. In other words, this was just the first step of the entire main task. Obviously, the cunning half-elf did not reveal its bottom.

Shepis' rejection was obviously expected by the half-elf patriarch. He felt the difficulty of the skeleton leader. The half-elf finally stated in a vague way that the Cross family had detected an elemental crystal vein on the western border of Braland.

However, it is not easy to mine this rich crystal vein. First of all, this crystal vein is located in the intersection of several countries. After the final war, since the countries do not trust each other, this area belongs to an unregulated area. Any large-scale action in this area will provoke the sensitive nerves of other countries.

Secondly, there is a powerful indigenous tribe near the crystal veins. Any force that wants to mine elemental crystals will be rejected and expelled by them.

Due to the above two points, after obtaining the exact information on the mine veins, the Cross family formulated a corresponding policy. They sent a messenger to communicate with the indigenous tribe, intending to cooperate in mining the crystal vein. In principle, the indigenous tribe agreed to the Cross family's suggestion, but had not signed a cooperation agreement.

However, in addition to the Close family, some other countries bordering this area also obtained information on crystal veins. For the same reason, they also sent a negotiating team. Although there were many competitors, everyone understood that because they could not use military force, the indigenous tribe dominated this area.

Faced with this situation, the indigenous tribe proposed a simple and rough solution. After contacting their forces in the early stage, they could get a contract as long as they reached the resident of that tribe. However, they would only sign such a contract once. If any force fails to reach the resident of the tribe within the time limit, or loses the contract on the way back, then that force must withdraw from the competition in the crystal vein.

This method is actually to let competitors kill each other. No force will be willing to share crystal ore veins with others. This mission trip will be covered with blood and life along the way. Compared with other forces, the Close family alone seems too weak and needs to join other strong people. The Red Rose Assassin Organization is such a foreign aid selected by the half-elves patriarch.

On the one hand, the rumored Red Rose has excellent reputation and strong strength. It can not only deal with other competitors along the way, but also does not leak the location secrets of the mine veins. On the other hand, Red Rose will not participate in the operation and mining of crystal veins, and only needs to pay a huge amount of employment in one lump sum. It can be said that it is the most suitable natural ally.

After Phil Close revealed this information, Serpis's soul mark finally reminded him that he had received a complete main mission. The minimum requirement for the mission is to send the team of the Close family to a specific area, and then safely send the tribe messenger and contract back to the Breland King City. The completion degree of the mission will be determined by the number of competitors defeated on the way.

"Old K, what do you think? Should you take on this task?" Xuepis frowned and asked Xu Mo.

"No, wait a moment, you don't feel that the expression of this main task is very problematic!" Xu Mo said lightly.

"Well, I felt it, but I couldn't see where the problem lies!" said Serpis depressedly. "This escort mission requires trying to defeat many competitors. I believe that the so-called competitors will definitely be participated by some top teams. It basically meets the requirements of space war, but... I always feel something is wrong."

Xu Mo was speechless. Xuepis' analysis and thinking ability was not as good as his, but the intuition that could be compared to wild beasts was extremely powerful.

"Well, our clan leader Klos has not made any explanation. I think you still need to work hard to figure out some key issues..." Xu Mo said lightly.

"Captain Phil, our Red Rose is an assassin organization and is not good at escort work, but the reward you give is very attractive..." After communicating with Xu Mo, Serpis said again, "Don't you mind, I'll ask some questions about the mission?"

"Of course, you can ask whatever you want! However, whether you accept the task in the end or not, I need you to make sure that we will not disclose the conversation between us!" The half-elf gently stroked the fur of a golden raccoon cat in her arms and responded gracefully.

"Absolutely! Then the first question is... How many countries does the area where the crystal veins are located border?" Shepis asked slowly with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Haha, you are very cautious! However, this should be clear to you!" Phil nodded slightly and expressed his appreciation for Serpis's problem. "There are three areas directly bordering that area. In addition to us, the other two national forces are Owendere and the Demon Wasteland!"

"Another human country and... barbarians?" Shepis touched the stubble on his chin.

"There are not only barbarians, but also orc tribes in the Demonic Wasteland!" Phil reminded with a smile.

"Anyway, these two major forces are not easy to mess with!" Serpis spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, Red Rose will not retreat. The second question I want to know is, why don't you, the forces that want to mine the mining veins unite to destroy that indigenous tribe? Could it be that they are so powerful that even the three national forces have to choose to compromise?"

"Hmm? I have to say that the pious wisdom of Your Excellency Serpis is admirable!" The half-elf raised his eagle eyebrows in surprise, "In fact, I didn't think I needed to reveal so many details to you! However, when you asked the point, I think I can only confess to you. The local forces in the Crystal Mineral Vein are indeed just an indigenous tribe, a... large tribe, and the dungeon of Zoer!"

"Drow...Dark Elf!" The Rainman stood up from his seat in surprise.

"Wow, your courage surprised me!" Shepis whistled softly, "Dawel! It's Dawel! You are actually going to sign a cooperation contract with the most depraved and evil underground race!"

"The interests make people crazy, isn't they?" Phil shook his head and smiled faintly.

"As a sinister and cunning dark elves, few people dare to deal with them, but this does not mean that the deal cannot be reached. In fact, Zhe also has a huge demand for some material on the ground. All the time, caravans have entered the underground world and conducted secret transactions with Zhe."

"Even if Zoer's dungeon is sent out with tens of thousands of regular troops, it may not necessarily win. An expedition team of one or two hundred people can only stuff them into teeth!" Xuepis said helplessly, "Now I can understand why the three major forces dare not turn the tables. In the underground world, we really cannot fight against the dark elves, which is too difficult!"

"Thank you for understanding our situation. In fact, this is also the main reason why I chose Red Rose as a foreign aid! You assassins should be able to deal with enemies in the dark better than the warriors and mages of the Close family, right?"

The half-elf scratched the golden raccoon's chin, making the little guy stretched comfortably, "Okay, it seems that Lord Serpis has basically exhausted all my secrets. There should be no other problem, right?"

"No, there is another last question!" A glimmer flashed in Serpis's eyes, and he smiled with a big mouth, "I want to know whether the crystal ore veins detected by the Clos family this time contain a large number of... dragon crystals!"

Ordinary crystal veins and dragon crystal veins are simply a comparison of soil and gold. The dragon crystals on the road are very rare. After the entire crystal veins are mined, they may only be a fist-sized piece of dragon crystal. There is currently no known mineral veins that can be called dragon crystal veins. If such a mineral vein really appears, it will really make the entire continent crazy.

As Serpis asked this question, the half-elves' head stiffened and remained silent. His eyes were full of coldness, and the temperature in the living room suddenly dropped.

The rain man, who had been standing behind Xuepis, made a fighting pose like a conditioned reflex. The skeleton leader still looked carefree, holding a wine glass and bowing his head to drink lightly, but Xuepis was deeply impressed by Xu Mo.

Although Phil did not speak, the half-elf's body language had confirmed Xu Mo's guess. During the communication between the two, Xu Mo reminded the skeleton leader that the crystal vein in Phil's mouth was most likely the dragon crystal vein, so he asked him to put this problem at the end and test it when the half-elf's mind was relaxed.

The reason why the main mission that Serpis received made the two feel something was wrong is this. You should know that the backing of the Cross family is the third prince Brian. There is no need for an ordinary crystal vein to mobilize Brian so much.

What is Brian’s most important job at the moment? Is it mining crystal veins? Of course not. The most important job of the Third Prince is to fight for the throne. No matter how valuable ordinary crystal veins are, is it as valuable as the throne?

The main obstacle for the third prince Brian to succeed in fighting the throne was the noble officials under the eldest prince Felix and the twelve dragon pattern family. No one didn’t like money, but these people were not allowed to buy it for a small amount of money, and even if they were transferred to the entire crystal vein, they could not buy it.

Only the dragon crystals and a large number of dragon crystals can impress these nobles and the twelve dragon pattern families, and it is worthy of Brian letting go of everything and doing his best. He even sent him to the greatest help of the Clos family in the royal city at the critical moment of fighting for the throne.

"Haha!" Phil suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "It seems that Mr. Serpis had done a lot of homework before coming to me! But aren't you afraid that you will not be able to go back if you know too much?"

As Phil's words fell, the living room fell into a dead silence...
Chapter completed!
