Chapter 44: The Flying Grass Mercenary Group

  However, the phantom beast egg flew into Jiang Nian's hands on its own and was slowly caught by him. Jiang Nian took a look, smiled innocently, and then sincerely handed the phantom beast egg to Lan Lun with a serious face.

  Lan Lun originally thought that the phantom beast egg liked Jiang Nian, so he also gave up on the idea of having to get it in his hands. He felt that Jiang Nian holding it was pretty good too, but in his heart, he still had some desire for the phantom beast egg to be his own.

  However, when Jiang Nian really handed over the Fantasy Beast Egg to him, he was truly shocked. At first, he was a little surprised, then he was filled with emotion and joy. He smiled shyly, without any hesitation, took the Fantasy Beast Egg, but couldn't say a word, completely overwhelmed by slow happiness.

  Jiang Nian curled her lip, thinking that this person didn't even know how to be humble, but she didn't pursue the matter further. The Illusory Beast Egg was originally something she had specially absorbed for herself, and it was all in order to make Lan Leng think that this egg wasn't something he obtained himself, but rather something she gave him, so he would have to be grateful for her kindness. She wanted to use this to control Lan Leng's gratitude, and through that, control this person.

  The two of them didn't speak, observing the egg for half a day. Jiang Nian finally said: "Let's go back to the city, each city should have plants specifically used for hatching eggs, let's take a look at the market."

  At this time, Lan Lun's grateful heart was stronger, and he obediently followed back.

  The market was crowded with people, mostly idle and scattered. Mercenaries who had completed their tasks for the day were also returning one after another. The market was filled with cheerful laughter, curses, the smell of sweat and the marks of mud.

  Jiang Nian gazed unobtrusively at the mercenaries from different mercenary groups, assessing their approximate abilities. He thought to himself that he could look for Fei Cao Mercenary Group in the future, as they seemed to be the most righteous and physically robust. He slowly withdrew his gaze, glanced at Lan Lun, and said: "You go to the pharmacy up ahead to find the medicine for incubating the Fantasy Beast eggs, I'll go buy some other things."

  Lan Lun nodded reluctantly and quickly walked towards the pharmacy. Jiang Nian followed him back to the Fei Cao Mercenary Corps.

  There are very few people in the mercenary group now, because most people hand over and receive tasks in the morning, and it's almost dark now. Generally, no one will come, and naturally, there won't be any mercenaries waiting again, so it's naturally quiet here.

  The manager lady sitting in the front row showed a professional smile and asked kindly: "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

  "I want you to help me find someone." Jiang Nian revealed the same enchanting smile, with no emotions in his eyes, just like a fake mask.

  The young lady was dazzled by this smile and after a while asked foolishly: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

  Jiang Nian glanced at the woman in front of him, then casually asked back: "I don't know where the person I'm looking for is either. I have a portrait and a description of the character, but I don't know their location. It's possible they're anywhere on the Nine States Continent, with a higher possibility in the top ten cities. I have a lot of money to give you to find them, how long will it take?"

  The woman opposite thought for a moment before saying, "Each of our cities has a branch of the Flying Grass Mercenary Group. As long as there's an image, it's generally easy to find them. It usually takes about a month. However, if each city puts up a mercenary mission notice, the price will be more expensive."

  "I've said it, I have a lot of money, the price is not a problem. Place the order immediately, and I'll pay triple the commission. If you find her within ten days, there's an additional reward." Jiang Nian said this with a particularly serious expression, his eyebrows and eyes cold, giving off an aloof impression. The girl hadn't had much contact with women who were so reserved and introspective; usually, they were like men - loud and boisterous. She felt a little intimidated by Jiang Nian, nodded hastily, and immediately posted the missing person notice through the communication device.

  Jiang Nian looked at the speed and was very satisfied. He took out four original diamonds from his ring and placed them lightly on the table, saying: "This is the deposit, I hope you can hurry up." Only after the girl nodded did he walk out with satisfaction.

  After coming out, she returned to the place where she parted with Lan Lun at that time, but found that this person was slower than herself, closer to her route, more convenient for her to do things, and actually later than herself. She felt a bit bored, so she wandered around the nearby stalls to kill time.

  But after waiting for a while, the vendors nearby had all finished their rounds and Lan Lun still hadn't returned, only then did Jiang Nian realize that something was off.
