Chapter 11 Romantic Debt
With Sever's story, Qin Lun's implicit uneasy speculation was confirmed.---The reason why Ilistin continued to stay at the Baldur Gate after the apostle team disappeared was entirely to find him.
At the beginning, Joey used a peer card in the Valley of the Undead to teleport Milleras and others to the Tower of Durag, and obtained the original legendary Great Druid Intva Twilight, which was later transformed into the obelisk of the Centaur Undead, and successfully came to the Baldur Gate.
However, Kelly and his group who were abandoned by Joey in the Valley of the Dead were unable to survive in the end. Except for a few lucky people, the joint team of Lost-Fortress, including the Dwarf Elder who protected the Dwarf Prince Lorraine and the Knights of the Am Guard, all fell in the Valley of the Dead.
After this battle, the apostles team continued to escort the Sun Elf Prince Millas to the Deep Water City mission, which inevitably ended. The apostles finally withdrew from the world of Torrell at the fourth node of this epic mission, which is the Gate of Bodder.
Before returning to the Starry Sky, Kelly and others terminated their employment contract with Milleras on the excuse of being unable to continue the escort mission.
Of course, Milleras could fully understand these companions. Moreover, the Baldur Gate is not far from Deep Water City, and the city council at the Baldur Gate is also very friendly to the Japanese elves.
Yongju Island, which the Sun Elf colonized in his early years, was located in the endless sea opposite Jian Bay. Unlike the human countries in the central and southern continents, the large human cities near Jian Bay, such as Bode Gate, Deep Water City, and Winter City, all have kindness to the elves of Yongju Island.
Apart from the endless sea, the humans and elves here have no territorial disputes, and the two sides have broad prospects for trade cooperation.
Whether it is asking the four council dukes of Bod Gate to send a guard or waiting for Yongju Island to send someone to respond, Milleras's need for escorts from Kelly and others is optional.
Kelly and others could leave with the Japanese Elf Envoys Group with appropriate excuses, but Qin Lun could not do it.
His plot at that time was Feral Moonlight, the Elf Prince of the Seopia in Anker Elf Court. He had no excuse to leave Millaras, especially with a confidante from the same clan, Ilistin Yueluo.
So Qin Lun used a simple and crude method, and he simply abandoned his wife and children... Oh no, he left without saying goodbye, and played a big move to a living person. After leaving the private courtyard where the Japanese elves envoys temporarily lived, he never came back.
There is actually a reason why Qin Lun would do this. He had already felt the dependence on Elistin at that time, especially after the incident at the Tower of Durag.
At that time, Qin Lun originally abandoned Milleras, Ilistin and others under the threat brought by the undead Centaur, and escaped from the underground library alone. Then, under the reminder of Les, a member of the Lost Newcomer Group, he overcame his indifferent nature and turned around to save these companions.
Since then, Ilistin's girl's heart has been unknowingly tied to him.
It's just that it's different from Eristine's feelings. Qin Lun doesn't think that the elf druid has developed such a deep and unbreakable relationship with him after just months of getting along. He feels that as time goes by, Eristine will sooner or later forget him, and leaving without saying goodbye is the best way to leave.
This is also Qin Lun's usual way of dealing with feelings. Although he has contacted many women in the mission world, there are not many women who have truly entered his heart.
Qin Lun's first woman was Catherine, the hostess of the hotel in the Orphan World. She was just a first experience in life, but Catherine was by chance and left an indelible mark in his heart at the cost of her life.
In the end, this relationship mixed with tragedy and romantic was handed over to Joey by Qin Lun, and became a memory symbol abandoned by the murderer.
After the orphan world, Qin Lun closed his heart and often reminded himself not to have unpredictable contact with the women in the plot.
In the subsequent fantasy world, he met the martial arts girl Junko Yoshida. However, Qin Lun had deliberately kept a distance besides helping her.
In World War II, he met Mrs. Monica for the first time and happened to save the Sandstorm Queen. It was just that during the war, the two had no time to talk about love. Although the Sandstorm Queen had a good impression of him, nothing happened to them in the end.
Later it was the Narce World, where the female policewoman in charge of leading the apostles, Michelle, the centaur girl, also admired Qin Lun, who was originally an elf. However, Qin Lun finally convinced her to stay with the legendary wizard Holk and did not continue to develop this relationship.
Although Qin Lun deliberately kept a distance from these women, the mental pressure left by the mission world still allowed him to vent in the subsequent hunter world. He had a night of dew-filled marriage with Fei Jie, a beautiful lady with the royal sister-like psychic ability, and later leveraged a little force to allow Fei Jie to avoid the attack on the gang auction house by the Phantom Brigade.
However, Fei Jie was wary of Qin Lun's slightly dark methods of doing things, and was also afraid of the strength of the Phantom Brigade. After accepting Qin Lun's warning, he quickly left Yorkson City and did not interfere with the guards of the Northra family.
After this, Qin Lun's two adventures in Torrell and the Divine Comedy World. In Torrell, he did not accept the feelings of Ilistin, and in the latter Divine Comedy World, he was finally moved by the Queen of Sandstorm who had been waiting for decades, and left Mrs. Monica with a promise to take her away in the future.
Now that I heard about Ilistin again, Qin Lun had to face this relationship again.
"Why did Ilistin and Idriya go to the Land of Death to find my clues?" Qin Lun took a deep breath and suppressed his chaotic thoughts.
"This... Ilistin didn't tell me much. We met by chance. At that time, Ilistin had become a formal mercenary registered by the Bode Gate Mercenary Association. According to Idriya, who was with her, they lived on mercenary tasks while staying at the Bode Gate to inquire about your news."
When Xifo said this, he secretly looked at Qin Lun. The expression on his face was completely like a look of a disobedient man abandoning his wife and son, which made Qin Lun feel angry.
"Where is Idriya, why did she stay? I don't believe that Ms. Lauvita's believer would like me, or it would be strange if she would like to see any man... Wait, Idriya shouldn't like it... Cough cough!" Qin Lun suddenly froze in the middle of speaking, his face a little strange.
"Idriya doesn't have that kind of hobby. You are all companions who live and die together. She doesn't bear the burden like others, so she naturally has to stay and help Ilisten." This time, it was Sivo who looked at Qin Lun with contempt. "In her own words, she is a Templar Knight who came out to practice hard in the name of Lauvita. She is the same everywhere, and it's good to become a mercenary and practice it."
As he said that Sivo seemed to remember something, he added, "But the night before we left the Baldur Gate, Idriya seemed to have said that they were going to the Land of Death to find a member of the Santalin Society..."
"Santalin Club, yes, the Santalin Club was chasing the Japanese Elves Envoys at that time, and Ilistin might think they had kidnapped me." Qin Lun's eyes flashed. The Santalin Club was indeed the biggest motivation for Ilistin to stay at the Baldur Gate to continue looking for Qin Lun.
If Ilistin believes that Santalin will be responsible for Qin Lun's disappearance, then there is the best explanation for her willingness to take the risk to go to the Land of Death.
The Santallin Club's nest is in Santir Fort, the northern city of the Moon Sea, which is located on the south bank of the Moon Sea, which is north of the Cormansso Forest on the south bank of the Moon Sea.
In the modern history of the Feren continent, Santalin and the Japanese elves of Cormanso were a pair of mortal enemies. This is part of the motivation for the Japanese elves to move to Yongju Island.
The main purpose of the evil organization of Santalin Society is to control the trade routes of the Feren continent. As one of the largest trading ports along the Sword Bay coast, they also have some influence at the Baldur Gate.
According to the information Qin Lun obtained from Millas, Santalin's power at the Baldur Gate is not very strong. After all, it is tens of thousands of kilometers away from Santyr Fort. Their influence on the Baldur Gate's trade route is relatively weak, and this place is mainly for the production of the Place of Death - gems and magic crystals.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun sighed, turned to look at the other two companions, and said on the team channel: "It seems that I have to go to the Land of Death, but I'm not sure if I can find relevant plot tasks there..."
"Haha, we came in with the token of the world you gave, and the world is naturally led by you." Hill and Rand looked at each other, nodded and smiled, "As for whether they can receive the plot task, it depends on luck. If there is no gain, it will be good for you to owe us personal favors."
Hill and Rand's words are real. Qin Lun's favors have always been very valuable. Rand gave him a peer card, but later he received a great reward.
Even if it was a fair deal, Qin Lun never let other murderers suffer losses. Grant, who worked with him the most, benefited a lot. As the core of his profession, the white giant bloodline, and the Ilena Holy Nail that is now exchanged for Hill are all coveted and huge gains.
"If we want to venture into the Land of Death, we will definitely not do it alone..." Qin Lun glanced at Xifo and whispered on the team channel, "We cannot show up now, just let this guy hire a batch of cannon fodder for us at the Mercenary Union."
"Well, the gold coins you brought from the Ambori Church are enough. The plot mercenaries of the Baldur Gate are used as shields. If you can still receive the epic plot, it can also cover up our apostolic identity well." Hill and Rand nodded in agreement.
After the three reached an agreement, Qin Lun looked back at the young gentleman in a difficult situation and smiled kindly.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing Qin Lun's harmless smile, Sifo instinctively shook his whole body and wrapped it in a torn shirt.
"According to what you said, the old butler Mason was just kidnapped by the troll tribe. I still don't know how to live or die. Have you never thought about finding him back?" Qin Lun asked in a soft voice.
"Do you think I don't want to. After I escaped back to the Baldur Gate, I had organized several expeditions, but those mercenaries only circled around the land of death and refused to go deeper. I couldn't force them." Sipher said with a sad face, "The last time I found a mercenary group from another place, but... they even snatched away all my remaining property."
"Oh!" Qin Lun looked at this unlucky child speechlessly. All worlds are the same. Sometimes only when he has a big fist, he has the right to speak. Sifu is just a devastating nobleman without any force or power. No wonder the mercenaries perfunctorily deal with him.
