As the sun rises again, the twenty-five temples in Navia City ring the morning bells one after another.

Ding, ding!

Amid the loud and rhythmic bells, the people of Navia City began their day.

Officials walked into the chamber.

The merchants walked to the market and shops.

The civilians headed towards their respective places of work.

However, more people gathered outside Navia.

These people have farmers, hunters, and more are merchants.

As the most important city in the south, Navia City has become a major political and commercial center in the entire south since it was liberated by the "hero" Eiger three hundred years ago.

Every day, hundreds of merchants full of goods come here, and then set out towards the villages and towns with the same amount of goods.

When the gate of Navia opened, merchants holding identity certificates consciously lined up, and next to them was a team of farmers and hunters near Navia City.

Unlike other cities, the farmers near Navia City, the hunters had a hint of awesomeness in their eyes and faces. Although they did not live in the city, they were also from Navia City, and they were different from outsiders.

The merchants who often come to Navia City are obviously used to the attitudes of farmers and hunters.

Even the first time the businessman has undoubtedly heard of the rules here and has maintained a sense of humility.

These businessmen don't want to waste their time entering the city because of unnecessary trivial matters.

You know, the city guards in Navia are famously 'just and selfless'.

"Each person has two copper coins, five horses and mules, and five more with the cart!"

The tax officer standing at the city gate shouted loudly.

There was a half-person-high wooden box at the other party's feet, with an iron lock on one side of the wooden box, and a thin gap that could only be placed in the copper slit.

Each businessman passing by will invest corresponding taxes according to the composition of his or her team.

At the same time, let the city guards check the goods they brought.

The team is moving forward in an orderly manner.

No accidents happened.

But even so, when Meerzer found out about three accomplices, it was almost noon.

The sun above my head emits a vicious light.

After Meerze made gestures to the three accomplices, the three of them immediately followed with two horses pulling the car.

Then, the four people met in the "Power Stable" hotel.

"Merze, how about it?"

One of the three asked directly after entering the room.

But Meierze did not answer, but instead took a step to the side, and the mimosa wearing a hoodie walked out of the way.

"Merze, you!"

Looking at the mimosa walking out, the person who asked the question immediately realized something was wrong, but before the other party could say anything more, the other party's two accomplices fainted on the ground.

"grown ups."

Meerze, controlled by [Mestri's Ring], saluted respectfully to Qin Ran who walked out of the shadow.

"He's the leader Pilk?"

Qin Ran asked, pointing to the one who spoke before.

"Yes, sir."

Myerze said truthfully.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran simply woke up the other party and used [Mesli's Ring] to control the other party again.

With Qin Ran's spiritual attributes, the other party was controlled without any resistance.

"grown ups."

As soon as he turned over, Pilk got up from the ground and saluted Qin Ran respectfully.

"Speak out everything you know about this action."

Qin Ran said.

"Yes, sir."

"I am one of the people who keep watch on the periphery and have not participated in the theft of the Holy Grail. In fact, I didn't even know how many people who stole the Holy Grail before. Those two just asked us to respect them with your Excellency, Lord, and then, I witnessed their baptism."

"The two of you promised to give me a baptism place, so I was willing to take a risk. I killed this merchant as they told me, disguised as the other party, mixed into the merchants' team, and returned to Navia City."

The other party told the truth.

"Have they given you special marks?"

"Have you seen their appearance?"

Qin Ran asked.

"There are marks, but I haven't seen their appearance."

"They said that when we return to Navia City, just hang a red cloth strip outside the window of the hotel where we live."

The other party nodded.

"Red cloth strip?"

Qin Ran smiled disdainfully.

He was more than 90% sure that when the red cloth strips were hung, the city guards and temple knights would definitely appear.

These two people who really steal the "Holy Grail of Thorns" are undoubtedly very cautious and cunning.

They had made plans to make the four men a scapegoat before choosing Meerze and Pilk, so Meerze didn't know each other.

Even apart from Meerze, Pierke and the other two were all from other places.

Moreover, from beginning to end, neither of the other party showed up, but relied on notes to direct the actions of the four people. Even when baptizing, it blocked the true face.

“Is there anything else that deserves your attention?”

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"No."

The other party shook his head.

Then, Qin Ran asked a few more questions, and combined with Meierze's answer two days ago, a clearer context of the matter appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

"The need for the Holy Grail for baptism means that the two of them are not strong, or they are in urgent need of strength."

"And under such a premise, the other party can steal the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' and look for a scapegoat... In other words, at least one of the two should be related to the 'Thorns Temple'."

"Is a person who can get in touch with the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' but not very strong?"

Qin Ran guessed.

And with this guess, the prompts of the side mission sounded in my ears.

Not one, but two.

【Discover side missions: Traveling business】

[Trade: A good disguise, but you need to act like a Trade!]

...

【Discover side quests: bold and reckless】

[Bold: The stolen holy grail in the temple is not something that ordinary people can do, find these two thieves!]

...

Qin Ran's eyes swept across the two side missions, with a slight surprise.

He had expected the emergence of side missions.

But what Qin Ran expected was a side mission related to theft of the "Holy Grail of Thorns", rather than a businessman.

"Is side quests appearing because they are related to the main quest?"

Qin Ran looked at the two side missions and pondered for a moment, then looked at Mimosa.

"I have side quest tips here, do you have one?"

Qin Ran asked.

"No."

Mimosa shook her head immediately.

"Sure enough, side missions also require certain trigger conditions, not just team up and be together all the time."

Qin Ran, who lacks experience in teaming up to complete the dungeon, summarizes it.

This is a subconscious behavior.

Just like his caution.

Qin Ran waved his hands to Meerze and Pilk, quickly ordered the two of them and stood up.

"Get up, we need to go out for a walk!"

"The market this afternoon will definitely be very lively!"

"If you have good luck, we might have unexpected gains!"

Qin Ran said this.
Chapter completed!
