The Immortal God of War

Chapter 287 Liu Chi's Persistence

"To the elves' territory?"

Catherine was smiling and extremely happy.

"When are we going?"

"Let me take a look at this forest for the next two days. The newly installed absorption device is right under our feet."

"Can't we just go there? It's so boring here."

Catherine's tone was somewhat complaining. Now she just wanted to see the elf world described in the book as soon as possible.

"Listen, I just want to figure out one thing here."

"Humph! I won't talk to you anymore!"

After complaining, Catherine returned to the campfire and prepared to eat barbecue.

Liu Chi continued to check the system. After a while, he smelled the aroma of meat and returned to the campfire.

Because they revealed their identities, Liu Chi and Cather moved into their own big tent. After resting, Liu Chi continued to explore the spiritual sea world with Zhu Xiu, while Catherine read in the library.

Early the next morning, several members of Wendy's team got up early and made breakfast. For breakfast, they cut dry noodles into small pieces, put them into a pot and cook them with water, and finally add sugar or salt according to personal taste.

While eating breakfast, Liu Chi looked at the people present. Since his goal had been achieved, he naturally didn't need so many people to accompany him.

"Captain Wendy, two masters, I thought about it last night, and I think I should leave the rest to myself. You can go back to Hull."

"That's what I wanted to say. It always feels weird to be here with you. What's more, we are suffering here."

Wendy laughed. It was uncomfortable to sleep in either a simple tent or a carriage.

Seeing the two drivers looking at him eagerly, Liu Chi smiled and took out the purse that Johnny had given him from his space ring.

This money was equivalent to being defrauded by himself. Liu Chi had no good feelings towards it. The only value he could think of for it was to spend it quickly and contribute to the economy.

After opening the purse, Liu Chi poured the diamond coins into his palm. At first glance, there were sixteen in total.

When everyone saw the diamond coins in Liu Chi's hand, their eyes lit up.

Liu Chi took out eight of them and divided them equally between the two coachmen, and gave the remaining eight to Wendy.

"Okay, as for the commission fee, you should be able to get some when you return to the United Guild. Just consider this as your hard work fee."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. You can make money by coming out, right?"

Wendy smiled brightly. She wished she could get more commissions like this. There was no need to defeat monsters, there was almost no risk, and the journey was not long. In a week, she could earn the same amount of money as she would earn from a specific commission in half a month.

"Then we'll go back after breakfast. Alison is planning to follow you, right?"

Wendy put away her smile and confirmed with Liu Chi solemnly.

"Well, you know why I'm here, so...haha, I won't say it."

Liu Chi smiled awkwardly. After the last incident, the people in front of him probably knew that he was interested in Alison on the surface.

"Alison told me what to do last night. If there's nothing else to explain, then we're done with it."

"Oh, right, about that missing person notice, huh? About the wanted notice, do you know who issued it?"

Liu Chi thought of this personal grudge, so he asked directly to see if Wendy, as the captain of an adventure team, knew anything about it.

"You mean the wanted order? I don't know the details, but I can tell you that Hull is currently controlled by three forces, namely the Kingdom, the Dagger Party, and the Tower Faction."

"So do these three forces have their own unique characteristics?"

Liu Chi pulled his chin and asked Wendy, while starting to brainstorm the relationship between the three forces.

"I don't know what the connection is, but since the new king took office, prices in Hull as a whole have begun to soar. The new party's regime is extremely corrupt."

Liu Chi guessed that the reason why the kingdom tolerated a group of thugs collecting protection fees locally was that there must be very serious corruption in the kingdom.

"What's up with the High Tower sect? Judging from the name, they are just scholars?"

"I don't know anything about the Tower Faction. The only thing I know for sure is that they are not directly involved in anything in Hull."

After Wendy finished speaking, she looked at Liu Chi with a smile on her face and continued,

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No more, thank you!"

Seeing that Wendy didn't know much, Liu Chi simply stopped asking.

It seems that if I want to find out, I still have to investigate it myself.

"That's good. Being able to answer some small questions for my employer is also considered to have fulfilled my responsibility as a guard. If there is nothing else, we will prepare to pack up."

Wendy looked at Liu Chi, her bright eyes seemed to be still expecting Liu Chi's question.

"There's nothing else to do. You can go back. I'll go do some investigation later."

After Liu Chi finished speaking, he took a big sip of the noodle porridge in his hand. Seeing that some people were still eating, he directly took out the dried meat.

"Here, I made this myself. Monster jerky. Try it!"

After giving everyone a piece of dried meat in turn, Liu Chi put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"You guys eat first! I won't accompany you."

As Liu Chi walked back to the tent, Catherine smiled at everyone and followed Liu Chi with the two big cats.

After Liu Chi put away the beds and tents, everyone at the scene finished their breakfast. Alison walked slowly towards Liu Chi with a small backpack on her back.

Alison turned her head and glanced at her teammates out of the corner of her eye, then looked at Liu Chi.

"Let's go! Let's go check out your so-called investigation."

Liu Chi smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's go!"

After waving goodbye to the people who were packing up the camp not far away, Liu Chi and his group of five walked into the forest.

"There is one thing I must tell you first!"

Alison stopped, frowned slightly, and spoke to the two people in front of her.

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Liu Chi also stopped, turned around and asked.

"First of all, you can only accompany me to the tribe. The woman next to you can't."

"Hmm?" Liu Chi was puzzled. "Is this the rule of the clan?"

"Humph! I'd be happy with it, or I wouldn't go."

Catherine was shocked when she heard Alison's words. She was now waiting to go to the elves' territory, which she could not accept at all.

Liu Chi didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on Alison's clothes, thinking.

Catherine was waiting to go and play, but Alison didn't agree to let Catherine go, which made her feel a little sorry for Catherine.

"Forget it then!" Liu Chi shook his head, looked at Catherine beside him, and smiled gently.

"I can't abandon my Catherine!"

Seeing this scene, Alison was slightly stunned, staring at Catherine with her eyes fixed, unable to understand why Liu Chi would go back on his word.
