"Thank you very much, Mayor." After speaking, Chen Mo turned to look at Alina with a smile. "I'll take care of this hidden mission too. Wait here for the good news."
"It seems I've found a great companion. With you here, I feel like all I need to do is sit back and collect the rewards," Alina said with a gentle smile.
Chen Mo chuckled and said, "Then remember to pay my wages afterward. One eternal gold coin isn't too little, and ten eternal gold coins aren't too many."
"In that case, let me just hire you permanently," Alina said, smiling as she reached out to playfully hook Chen Mo's chin.
"I'm afraid you can't afford me; I'm very expensive."
After some playful banter, Chen Mo left Alina and his subordinates in the village. He then headed alone towards the Mysterious Miasma Forest the mayor had mentioned.
He himself could fly, so he could actually bypass it. However, the army couldn't. For their safety, Chen Mo decided to venture in first and scout the area.
