Throne of Seals: The God of Magic Descends, the Demonic Tide Breaks at Dawn

Chapter 44 Starseeking City and the Moonlit Merchant Guild.

The Demon Hunter Mission Tower has six types of missions:

Killing missions, item retrieval missions, exploration missions, intelligence missions, war missions, and comprehensive missions.

Generally speaking, a demon hunter team will only accept one or two missions at a time.

It's truly rare to see someone like Lin Ye take on so many killing missions after accepting a difficult one!

Long Haochen was also tempted and wanted to learn Lin Ye's techniques, but considering the overall strength of his team, he decided to play it safe and only accepted one killing mission.

However, just after Lin Ye and his group left, a deacon rushed in, but became even more flustered after seeing that the mission on the magic crystal board had been accepted!

He then strode up to the middle-aged man and demanded, "I'm asking you, when was this mission accepted, and by whom?"

The middle-aged man was startled by the deacon's appearance. It took him two seconds to recover before he replied, "Just now, we were picked up by a general-level demon hunter team."

After much deliberation, the middle-aged man decided not to reveal the details of the other elite-level demon hunter group. He felt that doing so would only make the deacon more worried, and he might even lose his job.

"Forget it, they might give up when they get there. If they come back, you'll compensate them with 10,000 merit points, understand?"

The middle-aged man nodded, then asked curiously, "Steward Li Jing, is this mission very dangerous?"

Li Jing nodded and said, "A commander-level demon hunter team just reported that there may be extremely powerful demonic beasts in here, and they have raised the level of this mission to king level."

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

……

On the other side, after sharing the mission with Long Haochen, Lin Ye reorganized the team and headed towards Starseeking City on the map.

On the way, regarding this mission, Dianyan took the initiative to offer her suggestion: "I think we can rest for one night in Xingxun City, and maybe then we can enter the demon territory openly."

"Brother Dianyan, what do you mean?" Lin Xin, who was not far away, rubbed his hands together and curiously approached Dianyan.

Dianyan glanced at Lin Ye, and after Lin Ye nodded, she calmly explained, "In the border cities of our alliance, there is a special group of merchants who are called wandering merchants. These wandering merchants operate in the gray area between humans and demons, reselling goods between the two sides. For example, a large portion of the items at the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House come from demon territory."

Lin Ye had a deep understanding of this. Take that light elemental spirit for example. The human race hadn't found one in so long, but the demon race found it in a single ordinary sweep.

Upon hearing this, both groups of people roughly understood what Dianyan meant.

Everyone's face immediately showed excitement, especially Bai Xiaomo and Chen Ying'er, the two lively and active girls.

"How do we infiltrate the group of wandering merchants? There must be some kind of restrictions on their groups, right?"

In response to Bai Xiaomo's concerns, Dian Yan smiled easily, "I grew up in Xingxun City, so I have an uncle who is a manager and part-time guard captain in the Moonlit Merchant Guild. As long as I explain the situation to my uncle, he will definitely help!"

"Brother Dianyan, you really are a hidden talent!" Lu Xi gave Dianyan a thumbs up.

"Yes, I'll have to trouble you this time." Lin Ye also gave Dian Yan an appreciative look.

Upon seeing the leader's approval, Dianyan immediately raised her chin proudly, her invisible little tail practically wagging behind her.

My idol has approved of me!

I'm finally not the most lazy person in the team anymore!

Lu Xi is the one.

"Then let's follow Brother Dianyan's suggestion and go to Xingxun City to rest."

After Long Haochen finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lin Ye.

Based on the overall picture of this mission, Lin Ye can be considered the overall captain.

"Okay, let's speed up. Yang Wenzhao and Lin Xin, we'll have to trouble you two once we get to the city. Help the team prepare the necessary supplies." "Leave it to me, Commander." Yang Wenzhao solemnly tapped his armor with his right fist.

"I have it all figured out." Lin Xin has become quite adept at handling these kinds of logistical matters.

With the plan fully formulated, the entire team quickly headed towards Starseeker City.

Wyndham Hotel.

Led by a local resident named Dian Yan, Lin Ye and his group successfully checked into this high-quality, affordable hotel.

Aside from Dian Yan, Yang Wenzhao, and Lin Xin, who were handling the business, Lin Ye quickly gathered the rest of the team.

"Since we're going to disguise ourselves and infiltrate the caravan, our attire shouldn't be too conspicuous. I think we need to change into ordinary clothes."

Long Haochen nodded in agreement. "Indeed, I agree with Commander Lin's suggestion. Being too dazzling will make us easily spotted by the demons."

Seeing that both captains had nodded, the others naturally had no other thoughts and immediately echoed their agreement.

It has to be said that Dianyan was very efficient. Lin Ye had just changed into civilian clothes when Dianyan arrived with his men.

"Lin...Lin Ye! My uncle is here!"

This was the first time Dianyan had called Lin Ye by his full name, and she almost felt a little awkward.

"The door is not locked, just come in."

With a creak, a tall, vigorous old man walked in first, followed closely by Dian Yan.

"Brother Lin, Brother Long, this is my uncle Dian Xuan, the manager and head guard of the Moonlit Merchant Guild. He came to interview us personally after hearing my request."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye immediately pulled Long Haochen to bow slightly to the old man and said, "Manager Dian, hello."

When Dian Xuan saw Lin Ye and the group of young figures behind him, he was taken aback. "How many of you are there?"

Lin Ye didn't even count, and confidently said to Dian Xuan, "There are thirteen people in total, eight men and five women. Please take good care of them, Steward Dian."

Looking at Lin Ye's mature and experienced demeanor, Dian Yan was utterly bewildered. Was this really a naive fourteen-year-old?
How come he seems to be even more knowledgeable about human affairs than a 24-year-old!

Dian Yan looked at Lin Ye's expression and after two seconds said in a deep voice, "Our merchant group happens to need some odd jobs. You will be responsible for guarding the wagons. You will receive two silver coins per day, and if everything goes smoothly, each of you will receive an additional gold coin as a bonus. How does that sound?"

Lin Ye feigned surprise and nodded repeatedly, "That's wonderful, thank you so much, Steward Dian!"

Dian Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Dian Yan, "A shipment is leaving in three days. Come back with me and get a set of uniforms for your brothers."

"Okay!" Dian Yan excitedly agreed, then exchanged a glance with Lin Ye and the others, and immediately followed in Dian Xuan's footsteps.

After closing the door again, Lin Ye's face regained the familiar smile everyone knew. "These three days, everyone should familiarize themselves with their own and their teammates' abilities. The Demon Realm is extremely dangerous, so being extra careful is never too much."

"Yes, Commander!" Bai Xiaomo replied cooperatively, which immediately made everyone relax and laugh.

Soon, Chen Ying'er joined Bai Xiaomo's team and started playing with her, just like best friends.

"Xiao Ye, is it really that simple?" Cai'er looked towards the door with some concern.

"Don't worry, we're all human, and our interests don't interfere with each other, so there won't be any mistakes."

Lin Ye gently pulled Cai'er into his arms and tenderly stroked her smooth, long hair.
