Chapter 567: Chapter 34 News from the Winged People_1

"I’m Pannis." Pannis smiled strangely: "Hello, Councilor Cella."

"Mr. Pannis?" Cella’s expression fluctuated, finally setting onto an equally strange smile: "I feel like I’ve seen Mr. Pannis somewhere before, have we met?"

"Well, maybe." Pannis shrugged: "I have been to Kulan a few times in the past and know a sibling from your family. Maybe we saw each other from afar during one of those visits, who knows."

"Oh? So you know someone from our Gold Family. A sibling...I’m thinking... Only Klarke is still alive now. I see." Cella nodded meaningfully: "You’re here to see Klarke, aren’t you?"

"No, we have other missions." Pannis shook his head: "This time, we are not planning to go to Deep Valley City. We plan to head straight to Felryas Mountain from Grand Highland City. Our mission is there."

"Huh?" Cella looked at Pannis in surprise: "Don’t you know yet? Didn’t you receive the request?"

"What?" Pannis asked in astonishment: "What request? Whose request? We haven’t received anything."

"Maybe I got it wrong. I thought you were also here for that matter." Cella said: "My brother should have already arrived at Grand Highland City for this very reason. About a month ago, he received a request for help from the Winged People Mountain Range, hoping he would help as a friend. I originally thought, considering your relationship with those two ladies, the information would definitely be sent to you. Hmm, maybe you missed it, or those two ladies had other plans."

Pannis narrowed his eyes and irritably tapped the small table next to him, pondering for a while before asking, "Do you know what it is? The Winged people are very strong, especially with those two there, they wouldn’t usually ask for external help. Have they run into trouble?"

"Yes, it’s a huge unprecedented trouble." Cella said earnestly: "Apparently, many magical beasts in the Forest of Death have been moving recently, with demigod magical beasts coming out frequently. Their direction of attack is precisely the Winged People Mountain Range."

"Doesn’t this sort of thing happen every year?" Pannis asked with confusion: "The Winged clan has a total of four demigods, including those two. It should be quite easy for them to solve such problems, so why would they request aid?"

"I don’t know the exact details, only my brother knows the full situation." Cella said helplessly: "Actually, my personal negotiating mission is also related to this matter. Since his axe was destroyed over a hundred years ago, my brother has not reforged it, intending to retire and not fight anymore. After receiving their request for help, he decided to take up his axe again, but he doesn’t have the right materials. So I’m here to collect rare ores for him during these negotiations. Some rare ores are too hard to distinguish, so I have to do it myself to be at ease. I didn’t expect to encounter this kind of incident, I guess I’m just unlucky."

"I see..." Pannis stroked his chin, pondering: "Do you think, could this attack on you be related to your ore hunting mission? Is their goal to prevent Klarke from assisting the Winged People Mountain Range, with the Winged People being their ultimate target?"

"Don’t worry, it’s not possible." Cella immediately denied it without thinking: "Because all the ores are here. I was suspecting it too, so I checked all of them just now, and none of them are missing."

Cella didn’t have to explain further, Pannis understood. If it were as he had surmised, the enemy wouldn’t need to kill Cella, they would only need to steal the goods in those boxes. Having realized this, Pannis breathed a sigh of relief, nodding: "It seems helping you was timely. Otherwise, if Klarke found out I didn’t save his sister, and if we ever meet again, he would scold me to death."

"Huh?" Cella was stunned, asking curiously: "Aren’t you going to help? Klarke has already decided to go."

"Regrettably." Pannis said with a rueful smile: "From any perspective, I should go there, but I can’t. I also have a very important mission to carry out here, equally important and can’t be delayed."

"Is it for Felryas Mountain?" Councilor Cella said discontentedly, "What mission is so important that you put aside the urgent request for help from the Winged People? There is nothing in Felryas Mountain, just a bunch of barren mountains and a dangerous Wound of the Earth. You’re not going into the Wound of the Earth itself, are you? Oh God, that is simply insane."

"The Wound of the Earth?" Catherine looked at Pannis and Vivian puzzled. "Why does that name sound familiar?"

"Remember the Dragonscar in the Shining Forest? That’s the Wound of the Earth," Vivian explained into Catherine’s ear, "When we were at the Dragonscar, he briefly mentioned the largest scale Wound of the Earth in the Yarran World, which is actually near Felias Mountain. Before setting off, Pannis and I speculated that the research center might be buried deep within the Wound of the Earth, or at least has something to do with it, so he kept mentioning preparations for an underground adventure."

"It seems that you haven’t told them all." Cella said, "I advise you to think carefully, the dangers are that the geological environment there is too complex, and because of the eternal darkness, areas are frequently shrouded in Demonized Energy, where magical creatures and beasts mingle. Not even the Cavern Dwarves dare to enter. And danger is just one aspect, the key point is that the inside is too deep, some people even speculate that the passages and caves inside could cover the entire Kulan, no, not only Kulan, possibly even part of the Shining Forest. If you get lost inside, I’m afraid you’ll never get out in this lifetime."

"I’m aware of all this." Pannis gave a slight smile and said calmly, "But, there are always certain things that you have to do, despite knowing the danger."

"What kind of mission exactly?" Cella asked, "That even makes you overlook your old friends and venture into the Wound of the Earth."

Pannis smiled and didn’t answer, he signaled Catherine with his eyes. Catherine coughed lightly, "Councilor Cella, I am the team captain of the Nellie Adventure Team, these people here are my team members. I think Mr. Bart has already introduced us to you."

"I’ve heard about you." Cella nodded, "A recently famous adventure team, with the highest proportion of Legendary ranks among the Gold Rank adventure teams. Even those not involved in the adventurer circles admire you a lot. And most importantly, your reputation can be considered the best among adventurers, almost catching up with Nellie and Kyle in their prime."

"Thank you, I am advancing with them as my goal." Catherine thanked him politely, but answered Cella’s question very simply: "We were commissioned by Master Christo to look for a goblin relic in Felryas Mountain. Of course, this goblin relic is also related to the safety of one of our team members’ lives. However, as it involves the privacy of Master Christo, it wouldn’t be convenient to reveal too much."

"Oh, that makes sense." Cella suddenly realized, "Both sides are good friends, you can only choose to help the ones who agreed first. But I suggest you have a meeting with the Big Brother, he has explored a section of the Wound of the Earth before and may have some information to share."

"I understand, we will consider it." Catherine thanked and then asked, "What are your plans after this, Councilor Cella? The escort part of the commission I discussed with Mr. Bart has been partially completed. Do you want to cancel or continue the escort afterwards? If you want to cancel, we should set off now. The sooner we arrive, the sooner we can complete the mission."

"Mr. Bart has also informed me about your commission." Cella put on a professional face when talking about the task and said seriously, "I agree with all the terms he proposed. As for subsequent commissions, of course, it has to continue. Although I look normal now, my fighting capacity has dropped to the bottom. If we meet those enemies again, there’s no chance of escape at all. But if you can escort, it’s different. The strength of your adventure team is enough to deter any pursuers."

"Although I really want to continue the subsequent commission and the rewards would be generous, I do not want to keep it a secret from you. The enemy is Elegance, the captain of the Shadow Hand, and he has already promised to give up the assassination." Catherine said, "According to the default agreement of the Adventurer Guild, Mercenary Guild, and the Shadow Hand, the person who retreats will be severely sanctioned if they violate their promise and participate again. The guild will not protect them. Therefore, I don’t think the chances of them coming back to attack you again are high."

"I’m not worried about Elegance." Cella gave a bitter smile. "I’m worried about another captain. Elegance has promised to step down, that person did not, he could catch up at any time."

"This indeed could be a problem." Catherine nodded, "Then we’ll continue the task and escort you to Grand Highland City. However, I don’t quite understand. If the enemy’s target is not aimed at the Winged People, why would they want to kill you so persistently? Uh, sorry, if it’s related to internal dwarf matters, you don’t have to tell me."

"No, you misunderstood. It’s not related to my race, no one in my race would want to assassinate me, at least not while my brother’s still alive." Cella laughed bitterly, "The problem’s not with us, it’s with the co-conspirator on the other side. The collaboration I’m here to discuss will provide critical support to the other party’s dukedom. There are others who do not wish to see this duke strengthen his powers so they can only think of ways to break the cooperation. And killing me is the most direct way of sabotaging. Now you understand?"

"Politics..." Catherine shook her head and sighed deeply. (To be continued. If you like this book, please come to qidian.com and cast your recommendation votes or monthly tickets. Your support will be my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read at m.qidian.com.)
