Chapter 466 Trap
The hotel Herage chose was actually located to the west of the city lord's palace, less than three kilometers away in a straight line.
It is much quieter here, and the prices are much more expensive. It is equivalent to a wealthy area.
Herague doesn't care about the price. There are too many gold coins in his space ring to be used up.
After he settled in the hotel, he spent a few days wandering around Amy City and basically figured out the situation here.
Exorcists are still in short supply here, and you can find work easily.
After some research, Herage realized how serious the monster problem here was.
With Amy City as the center, there are many small towns or human settlements scattered around.
Correspondingly, monsters are also attracted to the humans here, and monster attacks occur almost every day.
Ordinary people can only deal with very weak monsters. If a stronger monster comes randomly, these ordinary people will become lambs to be slaughtered.
At this time, the only option is to rely on the exorcist.
Herague had been strolling around the city lord's palace in the past few days, just like taking a walk, without attracting anyone's attention.
He was mainly observing and recording the structure of the city lord's palace.
Herague discovered that the captured wizard was being held in the dungeon below the city lord's palace.
He originally planned to take advantage of the time when Arios was out to get in touch with the wizard.
Because he has the ability to travel through space, it is relatively easy to enter the dungeon.
But after Herrag passed the environmental detection scan, he discovered that there was a secret room next to the room where the wizard was held in the dungeon.
The door of that secret room is extremely hidden, and it looks like a wall on the surface.
Even if ordinary people stand in front of the wall, they can't tell that there is a door here.
It's just that there is a secret room. Herage also found a person in the secret room who was concentrating with his eyes closed and motionless.
Herague took a closer look and found that this man looked exactly the same as Arios, with the same height and body shape. They were simply cast from the same mold.
"Isn't Arios gone?"
Herage clearly remembered that Arios left Amy City with a group of people a few days ago, and Jim was also in the group.
This group of people have not returned yet, and the matter in Qianhu Town will definitely not be resolved so soon.
What's more, it's at least four days' round trip from Qianhu Town.
Who is that person in the secret room of the dungeon?
Herage was a little puzzled. This man seemed to have been in a state of deep sleep with his eyes closed for a long time, motionless.
But this is a living, breathing person.
After observing the existence of this man, Herage gave up the idea of contacting the wizard.
Now it seems that the wizard in the dungeon is a pit, waiting for people to jump into.
The man who looked exactly like Arios in the secret room was probably lying in wait to see who would come to contact the wizard.
Herage quickly understood Arios' intentions.
Arios announced the incident in the square that day, not only with the intention of letting more people know about it, but also to test whether there were any hidden accomplices in Amy City.
He deliberately did not kill the wizard, just waiting for someone to rescue him so that they could solve the problem together.
If Herage hadn't discovered the existence of the secret room through environmental detection, he would have fallen into a trap designed in advance if he had rashly contacted the wizard.
No wonder Arios could leave so confidently, he had already prepared his backup plan.
Herague silently left the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion, having no thoughts about the wizard in the dungeon for the time being.
All he wanted to get was some information.
If the people in the dungeon are members of the expedition team, it is indeed necessary to contact them, but if they are wizards participating in Operation Cradle, it is not necessary.
The wizards who participated in Operation Cradle may not know as much about the world as they do.
Herage just wanted to get in touch with the wizards of the expedition so that he could have access to a channel to return to the wizard plane.
He is not in a hurry to go back now, so there is no need to rush and take risks.
Herage came outside a bar called Laoshu Bar.
This tavern has a unique shape. It looks like a long-dried tree outside.
The tavern is built inside a hollow tree trunk, which is a famous place in Amy City.
Herage came here mainly to obtain some information and accept tasks.
The Old Tree Bar is a place where many exorcists come. There are various tasks that only exorcists can take here for a long time, and the rewards are not low.
Many people who want to entrust some tasks will come here to find people from the Laoshu Bar.
After Herage walked in, many people glanced at him and continued drinking.
The tables here are all made of wooden piers, which fits the atmosphere of the place quite well.
Herage went straight to the bar. A well-dressed young man stood in front of the bar and was wiping the cup with a white cloth.
"Is there any good commission recently?" Herage asked directly.
The young man glanced at Herage and said, "Exorcist?"
Herage nodded.
"My name is Tiwa, please follow me." After Tiwa put down the white cloth and cup, he led Herage to a room at the back.
This room looks like a filing room, with a row of cabinets containing many documents.
Tiwa asked: "What type of commission do you want to accept? Do you have any specific requirements?"
"There are many monsters," Herage said.
Tiwa smiled after hearing this and said: "There are many monsters, which also means that the mission risk is high. If you don't have enough strength, I don't recommend you to take it."
Tiwa knew that many exorcists wanted to kill more monsters to quickly increase their strength.
Many exorcists who have just started are like this, eager for success and without a clear enough understanding of their own strength.
The demonic aura on Herag's body was very weak, and Tiwa could sense it very clearly. He could be sure that Herag was just a novice exorcist.
"You don't have to worry about these, just introduce them to me." Herage said.
Tiwa nodded and said nothing more.
Respect the fate of others and let go of helping others.
"What do you think of this task, guarding the Fireland Ranch, for three months, and the reward is twenty gold coins." Tiwa took out a piece of parchment and said to Herage.
Herage took the parchment and looked at it carefully.
Fireland Ranch is a pasture located south of Amy City. There are many cattle, sheep and horses inside, and it is a nearby supplier of meat and dairy products.
Because there are many animals raised, some monsters often come in to look for food, causing considerable losses to the pasture.
The ranch recruits exorcists to guard the ranch all year round, which is considered a long-term mission.
It's just that most exorcists don't stay long because the number of monsters is not certain.
Sometimes there may be a lot, sometimes there may be very few, it all depends on luck. (End of chapter)
