Capítulo 876: Chapter 437: Baron Mansion (2)
Now that Alton is not at the tavern, he won’t go to the casino to look for him. Leaving a ssage with Tohela was enough.
During the conversation, the sound of footsteps ca from the direction of the stairs.
Xia Nan looked toward the sound and saw Druid Hai Yin quickly walking down the stairs.
Unlike before, there were two tall and slender figures behind her.
Twin brothers?
Xia Nan raised an eyebrow slightly.
In front of him were two adventurers with almost identical appearances and statures.
They appeared to be around thirty years old, with short light brown hair that slightly shimred under the sunlight from outside. Their faces were angular, with deep brown eyes common among humans.
They were quite tall, with Hai Yin’s head reaching only to their chests, and their limbs were long, filled with solid muscles, with a sleek contour ford from long-term training and combat.
The weapons they used were also identical, a standard issued steel sword at the waist and a dium-sized iron-inlaid round shield on their backs.
If not for a distinct scar on the side of one of their faces, it would have been difficult to tell them apart at a glance, as if they were clones.
Utilizing Perception Ability, within just a few breaths, Xia Nan had a rough idea of the professional types and levels of the twin brothers before him.
——Warrior Class close combat types, Professional Level approximately at Level 3.
As he considered this, the three figures had already arrived in front of Xia Nan.
Before he could speak, Hai Yin took the initiative to introduce them:
“These are my two teammates, Rein and Gordon.”
“They will be acting with us next.”
“This is Xia Nan, a friend of Hera’s. I just bought this magic wand from him.”
Hearing this, the two n grinned at Xia Nan in greeting. They seed sowhat clumsy and not very talkative.
For Hai Yin, her thoughts were similar to Xia Nan’s.
The affair of Baron Farrow was her personal matter, and she decided to help him find his missing daughter Ai Li due to his relationship with the Coral Association and his support for her work during this period.
It had nothing to do with her team, and she didn’t want her teammates to get involved.
The reason for returning to the tavern was due to a sense of responsibility, to inform the crew of her next destination, rather than suddenly disappearing.
But as a sole spellcaster in the team, even though they were just in Swordfish Bay Town, after learning what Hai Yin was going to do next, the team could not allow her to go alone. They imdiately assigned two professional-level teammates to follow and protect her.
In fact, if they had not just returned from a task and the majority of the team was not enjoying themselves at various entertainnt venues in town, there would have been more than these two who followed for safety reasons.
Nodding toward the two n, Xia Nan thought that spellcasters were indeed popular in teams, always having teammates around to help when going out to do tasks. Unfortunately, his Intelligence Attribute was average, with no talent in casting. Otherwise, being a mage in a team could an enjoying a core role.
After a brief communication, Xia Nan inford the three in front of him about the information he had just learned from Hera.
“So, what should we do next…”
Hai Yin looked at Xia Nan in front of her, inquiring about the plan for the following steps.
Rein and Gordon behind her stayed silent, standing quietly behind the druid like two iron towers.
Knowing they’d likely act as guards in the upcoming actions, Xia Nan withdrew his gaze, motioned for Hai Yin to follow him, and headed towards the tavern entrance.
“Let’s head back to the association first.”
…
…
The adventurer association’s commission regarding Baron Farrow’s daughter’s disappearance stated, “For detailed information, please contact association staff.”
Before proceeding further, Xia Nan needed to thoroughly understand the specifics of this task.
The commission promised a reward of 500 gold for useful intelligence, a task that gradually spread among the adventurers in Swordfish Bay over ti.
When the four returned to the adventurer association, the hall was almost packed with adventurers of all kinds, with queues circling around the counters.
Fortunately, the four of them were senior adventurers who had acquired a professional level, granting them certain privileges.
After briefly stating their purpose, Xia Nan’s dedicated receptionist, Maere, hurried over to explain the task details, even providing them with Baron Farrow’s address—granted prior approval, stating that reliable adventurers picking up the task could be given the address.
After expressing their gratitude to the responsible and reliable receptionist, the group of four left the adventurer association according to their plan and headed towards the White Cliff District.
Baron Farrow’s mansion is situated in the wealthy area northeast of White Cliff District.
Following a broad, smooth tree-lined avenue flanked by rows of olive trees, which winds upward, through the lush green plants by the roadside, stood a magnificent three-story building.
Built entirely of locally quarried sea rock, the surface was coated with a milky white finish, reflecting a stone-like sheen under the sunlight. Huge arched glass windows faced the sea side, with the window mullions carved with wave patterns;
The roof was also made of a pale green ceramic tile, where multiple marble chimneys, more decorative than functional, protruded from behind the roof; atop the third story was a suspended viewing platform extending outward, supported by extravagant buttresses adorned with wave-carved embellishnts.
Clearly, for soone like Baron Farrow, a known figure serving as a special approval officer in Swordfish Bay, his detailed address was never a secret.
When Xia Nan and the others arrived at the baron’s mansion, a large group of adventurers had already gathered at the entrance, creating a chaotic scene.
However, they dared not force their way in, being held back by guards temporarily dispatched from the governor’s mansion at the door.
“Let through, I want to speak to Baron Farrow face-to-face!”
“I know where Miss Ai Li is, don’t stop !”
“Move aside, don’t block my way!”
500 gold coins were indeed a hefty reward even for professionals like Xia Nan.
For low-level adventurers who view money as life, it was a staggering amount that drove them to madness.
Since the commission was posted on the task wall in the association hall, greedy adventurers have been gathering outside Baron Farrow’s mansion.
Most of them were opportunists looking to fish in troubled waters.
They might not dare directly deceive the baron, but they cleverly employed ambiguous language like “possibly” and “maybe,” attempting to profit from this nobleman.
With his daughter missing, the baron was anxious.
Initially, he welcod anyone claiming to have information.
However, as the adventurers’ information beca increasingly absurd, with not a shred of useful intelligence received halfway through the day, the baron regained his composure and was less willing to believe the adventurers directly.
Most of the ti, entry was allowed only after screening by the guards and the butler for further discussion.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Xia Nan pondered how to gain entry into the baron’s residence.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, an elderly voice called out from the direction of the entrance.
“Miss Hai Yin!”
Looking over, there was an elderly man with gray hair, dressed neatly and slightly hunched, gazing at them through the crowd.
It was the butler of the baron’s mansion, “Graces.”
He seed to know Hai Yin. Originally walking alongside Xia Nan, the druid quickened her pace upon hearing the greeting, signaling with her eyes for the others to follow.
Without any hindrance, they were let in.
“Why do they get to…”
An oblivious adventurer complained, but his companion quickly covered his mouth before he could finish.
Never mind the ties the group appeared to have with the baron’s mansion.
Just the sight of a seasoned adventurer party composed entirely of professionals was enough to deter any gossip.
“Don’t get us into trouble, shut up!”
