"Lin."

Lin Mo walked to the hotel entrance and suddenly heard a surprised voice from the side.

Turning his head, he saw two men and one woman walking over, unexpectedly the Leader of the Snow Lion Mercenary Group, Ward, Deputy Commander Kro, and Yina.

"Brother Lin."

Yina's little face showed a hint of surprise and excitement, smiling like a flower, she called sweetly.

"Why are you here?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

It was unexpected to meet members of the Snow Lion Mercenary Group here by such chance.

"Today, Young Master Lan Bo is inviting us for dinner. Our Snow Lion Mercenary Group belongs to the Lanbo Family, so we came." Ward said, "Lin, are you also an adventurer of the Lanbo Family?" "No, but I'm here for a meal too." Lin Mo replied calmly, though he felt somewhat puzzled in his heart, it seems like the Lanbo Family has considerable influence in Snow City.

The Mercenary Guild building stood amidst the wind and snow, reaching three stories high. The first level was the location for mercenary groups and Golden Masters, alley market transactions. The second level was for Mercenary Guild internal staff work, while the third level was only accessible to the figures of the highest rank within the Mercenary Guild.

A man wearing black light armor stood on the stairs, heading to the entrance of the third level, the entrance resembled a curtain of water, with layers of ripples shimmering in the air, attempting to barge in would result in an attack.

The man took out a hexagonal black stone tablet and inserted it into the shimmering water curtain, which fluctuated briefly before dissipating.

Only then did the man stride in, stopping at the door of an office.

"Zhan Long, what are you here for?"

Before the man could speak, a slightly high-pitched voice from the office sounded, making the man at the door lower his head.

"Lord Jins, it's about the Ice Pearl, today I encountered..."

"Come in."

The voice from the room interrupted the man's words.

If Lin Mo were here, he would have recognized the man at the door as the vendor he met buying the Ice Pearl at the alley market.

Push open the door, it was a luxurious office, with high-grade mahogany floors, overlaid with a Persian handmade wool carpet, and from the center top of the room, hung a radiant crystal chandelier.

A burly man with a terrifying scar on his face was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of amber liquor.

"Subordinate Zhan Long, greetings to Lord Jins."

Zhan Long walked in, immediately kneeled on one knee, lowered his head, showing extreme respect.

"Speak."

Jins raised his glass, tilted his head and took a sip, his voice very calm, subtly conveying the authority of a supervisor.

Zhan Long immediately recounted the Matter of Lin Mo purchasing the Ice Pearl and a series of materials.

"Oh, purchasing items worth a hundred and ten thousand top-grade spiritual stones at once, quite a grand gesture."

Jins fiddled with the glass in his hand, spoke indifferently.

"Based on my assessment, this person shouldn't be commonly seen as one of the prominent family scions of Snow City, yet he spends so lavishly, suggesting he's likely a core member of an outside family or force."

Zhan Long continued.

"The Ice Pearl is a treasure I obtained by hunting the Ice River Mammoth, not many have seen it, for him to come straight for the Ice Pearl either means he recognizes its value or has seen it before..."

Jins said, eyes in which flames seemed to rise, capable of scorching the air, making the surrounding atmosphere grow hot.

"Send someone to investigate his background." Jins waved his hand and said.

"Yes, sir." Zhan Long bowed, stepped back several paces, then quickly turned and left the room.

Jins casually tossed the glass, enveloped by energy, it landed on the nearby wine rack, "Interesting, could the treasure in the Fourth Life Forbidden Zone really have been obtained by that kid?"

…

Inside the hotel.

Lin Mo and Ward, Yina, and Kro stepped into the hotel together, the hotel was divided into an inner and outer layer, the inner layer was accessible only to mercenary group leaders with strength and status in Snow City, while the outer layer was for those with little status.

"Only level mercenary groups can enter inside, I wonder when our Snow Lion Mercenary Group will be able to go inside." Ward said holding a glass, standing on the outside lawn with Lin Mo and others, watching those entering inside, eyes exhibiting a trace of envy.

"It's the leader of the Ice Myth Mercenary Group, Keli Keli... and Jonas of the Fire Dragon Mercenary Group..." Yina blinked, observed those entering the inner layer excitedly counting off these names.

"We will have our day, our Snow Lion Mercenary Group will make it inside too." Kro drank a mouthful of wine, eyes shining brightly.

"Then you all must work hard and strive." Lin Mo grinned widely. From the chat with Ward just now, Lin Mo learned that the Lanbo Family is one of the ten major families of Snow City, with many mercenary groups affiliated with this family, among which the Snow Lion Mercenary Group is one, but the Snow Lion Mercenary Group is only a level mercenary group, unqualified to enter Lanbo

Family interior receptions.

"Leader Ward, I'd like to ask you something."

Lin Mo opened his mouth.

"Lin, our relationship is such that there's no need for pleasantries, anything I know, I'll surely tell you." Ward, this rugged man, laughed heartily.

On the Ice Plateau, if it weren't for Lin Mo's intervention, the Snow Lion Mercenary Group would've been wiped out by the Knight Mercenary Corps Group and Heim.

"What kind of existence is the War God Temple?"

Lin Mo had heard the name War God Temple several times, yet the concept of it was still somewhat vague to him.

Ward and Carlo both hesitated, amazed that Lin Mo could accept the Lanbo Family's invitation to the hotel, yet not know about the War God Temple.

"Brother Lin, I'll tell you." Yina jumped in, her eyes flashing brightly.

"Oh, you tell me."

"The War God Temple is essentially the core organization of the Mercenary Guild, metaphorically, the Mercenary Guild is like a company, and the War God Temple is akin to the company's management."

"There are ten War Gods in the War God Temple, each one a super powerhouse recognized by all, and these ten War Gods are also the leaders of Snow City's ten major families, for instance, the Clan Leader of the Lanbo Family is one of the members of the War God Temple."

"I see." Lin Mo nodded, his face showing a dawning realization, no wonder the Lanbo Family was so influential, turns out the leader of the Lanbo Family, probably Lanbo's father, is a member of the War God Temple.

"Among the ten War Gods, three are the most powerful, known as councilmen, legendary figures of the Mercenary Guild."

Yina supplemented, her lively eyes concealed a profound admiration when talking about the War God Temple.

Along with Ward and Carlo's faces revealing a hint of yearning.

"Lin, everyone in the teams of the entire Snow City Mercenary Corps desires to enter the War God Temple, but unfortunately... it's too challenging." Ward frowned, shook his head.

"Lin, don't take Ward's words lightly, his age may be advanced, but his ambition has never waned, his ongoing goal is to join the War God Temple." Carlo joked.

"Striving, it's never too late." Lin Mo laughed heartily.

A wonderful continuation tomorrow.
