Chapter 021: Forgotten Mercenary Mission
Because of today's power outage, this chapter just came out. It's a matter of time, it came first. I'll change it later.
Hearing Grant's praise, Lilian was very proud, as a normal person, she now has a very good body, so naturally it is impossible to waste this good opportunity in vain, and she will devote herself to learning spells. Lillian is different from ordinary children, she looks naughty, but she is tired of men and women and playing, and she only wants to surpass Master Curran's and surpass Grant.
"Thank you Grant for the compliment, in fact, I just saw the book, saying that this kind of manipulation is very helpful for spell casting, and it can stabilize the foundation, otherwise I wouldn't have studied for so long."
Lillian said modestly, with a happy flush on her pale skin.
"Haha, don't be modest, it's not your character."
Grant went over, rubbed Lilian's hair, and when he looked at the two silver-haired girls, he apologized: "Please take care of Lilian, a naughty little guy, you may need to be here for a month, so I can only let you take it." I don't have any opinion on this. ”
"No, it's quite lively to have one more person. It's just that now when do you plan to leave and rush to your hometown in the east. Taylor and I have already taken care of things for a while, except for meditation and cultivation, we are just waiting for you. ”
"Soon, all that remains is to look for one person, and once the search is done, we will be able to leave."
"Oh, who?"
"An old friend's daughter, well, not someone with a special relationship."
Grant touched his nose. I thought of being forcibly kissed by Tefe a while ago. The other party probably may mind this matter very much, so he naturally explained it a little clearly. Lest you be mistaken.
Tefiel smiled, like a blooming sunny day: "No." How could it be. ”
At this moment, a black ball appeared in Grant's chest, and a crisp tapping sound sounded from the spinning.
"This is a mission reminder from the Black Shadow Killer Group, what's going on?"
When Grant saw it, he took a picture of the black ball and carefully recalled the reason. I thought that when I just came back, I just owed the mercenary task in exchange for points to buy equipment. At that time, he was not the deputy leader, and the task had been hanging in the exchange hall, and now someone paid the task point value. Need help with this.
"It seems to be really busy, but luckily there is only one hire assignment owed. If you owe a few more, I'm afraid I won't look for the daughter of Mage Melio for a while. ”
"Is there something wrong?"
Tiffel noticed the change in Grant's expression and asked in a low voice. Taylor grabbed Lillian and stood aside without speaking. At this time, it is necessary to cultivate an environment for my sister and future brother-in-law. This is the obligation of being a sister, behind every sister, there is always a good sister who works tirelessly.
Grande nodded and said, "Yes." There is one piece. I owe a mercenary assignment to the Black Shadow Killer, and now that someone has claimed this assignment and has chosen to hire me, they want to go back and do this assignment. Well, I'll go back first. After three months, they will leave here and head to the eastern region. See you at that time. ”
"Alright, there you go. Remember to take good care of yourself. ”
……
After Grant and Turf, Taylor and others say goodbye. Ride the Speed Snake to the Black Shadow Killing Rift.
In the scorching valley, the wind is strong, and the flags are hunting.
After Grant rushed back, he rushed to the exchange hall as soon as possible.
In the empty hall, many mages gathered in groups of three or five, chatting about some happy things or tasks. In the corner, there were six mages with extremely powerful aura, with arrogant expressions and no concern for the mages around them.
"By the way, Chris, who did you say was the last mercenary?"
The mage, who had a strong body and many runes on his bald head, spoke, and his tone was very indifferent. As a mercenary, they are often stronger than the mages who pay points, otherwise they will not hire other mages.
At the end, draped in a black robe, a mage with pale red hair smiled and said, "Grant." ”
Grant!
The expressions of the six mages changed and became solemn. They are all squad leaders, so they naturally know Grant as a person. Although the other party also belongs to the squad leader level, there is no doubt that the strength is the first person in the squad leader. Ten months after parting, I heard that I was even stronger when I came back, and I was once summoned by the head of the Kurolo regiment.
They didn't know that Captain Kurolo had appointed Grant as the deputy leader, as it often took several months for the matter to be reviewed by the council before it could be announced in the exchange hall. If there is no problem, you will be able to inform others in the exchange hall after half a month.
"Hello, you're Chris. I'm Grant, and it looks like I'm late. ”
At this moment, a voice sounded behind him,
Several mages immediately turned around and noticed a slender mage standing behind him, with long flaxen hair reaching to his waist, very fair skin, and mental fluctuations all over his body were like the sea, surging endlessly. Because Grant did not deliberately release his spiritual power, and the other party's level was not up to Grant, he naturally did not know that Grant was already a third-order mage.
"Hello, I'm Chris. Mage Grant, it's not too late to arrive, we've just arrived. ”
Chris smiled, with a very cute face, giving people a good impression.
The people around him realized and nodded one after another:
"yes, we've just arrived."
"It's only been two minutes, and I didn't expect Grant to come to you, your speed is simply fast."
"Nonsense, don't stop fast, this is simply fast."
The six squad leaders opened their mouths to flatter, the other party is not very old, his potential is amazing, and it is very likely that he will become the top of the Black Shadow Killing Group in the future. As long as you make friends with him and take care of him a little at that time, you will have more resources. As for the skin, as a mage, there is no one who is not thick-skinned, all of them are human spirits and vampires.
"Let's go, then."
Grant laughed dumbly, not talking nonsense with them. Otherwise, just one day will be able to pull it over.
"Well, I'll start with this task. I need to go to a basement in the Forest of Giant Trees and get a potion recipe. There was a burst of purple thunder over the Forest of Giant Trees, making it impossible to pass through the flying mount. The woods are inhabited by a number of shape-shifting behemoths, each of which is at the top or late stage in the middle of the second order. I need you to help me get through it. ”
Chris spoke slowly. After a few minutes, look around at a few people. I didn't see their scared expressions.
After the rest of them groaned, they nodded: "Let's go." Wasting doesn't make much sense here. “
"yes, hurry over and try to finish it sooner." Grant doesn't care, a group of mid-second-order scum can destroy a group of them at will. At this time, I sighed that with the passage of time, I was getting stronger and stronger.
…………
Half a day later, several people left the rift valley and rushed to the forest of giant trees.
The distance of the Forest of Giant Trees. Not too far. At the speed of a normal flying mount, it only takes a few hours to reach that location, but due to the lack of resources, many mages don't go there often.
Whew......
Flying over many clouds, the wind exploded in the ears with thunder and rumbling.
Grant squinted, and after about a few hours, noticed that the clouds ahead were turning gray. Occasionally, the gloomy clouds flashed with several lightning bolts of the thunder element. Light purple throughout. When it hits the ground, the snake looks frightened and slows down.
"Everyone, there is a forest of giant trees ahead. A few more minutes later. We need to come down at the edge of the woods, and if we are struck by lightning, even a third-order mage will be turned to ashes in an instant. ”
"Understood."
"We understand."
Several mages in the rear nodded. They all understood, and photographed their mounts. Control them to fly low and fly towards the line, Grant silently controls the speed snake to follow them down, and all he needs to do is hurry up and solve the problem. The time left. There is also a need to deal with the family conflict of Master Mefao's daughter.
On the surface, a few figures descended.
"It's finally here."
A few people relaxed for a while, moving their muscles and bones.
Grant looked at the trees in front of him, like ordinary evergreens, with verdant needles and gray bark. It's just that every giant tree in front of me is just a hundred meters high, and when you look up, you are about to touch the clouds. Because of the height of the trees, it is called the Giant Tree by others, and at the same time lives a group of descendants of cyclops, shape-shifting behemoths.
The woods were darkly lit, and from time to time a gust of wind blew and whirred.
"Let's go, because the terrain of the woods is rugged, and it is not convenient to ride on land, so use the tree branches to jump."
After Chris finished speaking, he smiled heartily.
Seeing his expression, Grant was speechless for a while. The other party really likes to sell cute, but he is not involved, so naturally I don't want to say more.
The group entered the woods and jumped with the help of tree branches. Everyone put away their relaxed mood, after all, their strength was on par with the giant beasts or slightly weaker, and they could only be considered unlucky when they encountered a large group of transforming giant beasts. Grant wasn't nervous, but felt a little slow, and it would take a day according to the map to go on like this.
After half a day of traveling, they had already entered a fifth of the place in the Giant Tree Forest, and they were also close to the dwelling place where the Transforming Behemoth lived.
"Everyone should be careful, there is a good chance that you will encounter a transformation giant beast in front of you."
Chris reminded.
Roar!!!
A wild man's roar made it clear to the mages around him, there was trouble in front of him and he needed to do something. But when the figure appeared in the tree, his face changed. Because of the appearance of eighteen transformation beasts, each of which is fifteen meters tall, the skin on its body has a defensive strength comparable to that of ordinary demonic items, and its movements are agile and very entangled.
"It's not good, there are too many giant beasts, and it may be a big problem to deal with later."
"Everyone gathered together and figured out a way to make a detour."
They knew very well that the spell inscription in their hands could deal with five transformation beasts, and their own strength added up to estimate that they were about five transformation beasts. Because the strength is originally weaker than the transformation behemoth, and now that they have encountered eighteen, this is not asking for their lives.
At this point, Grant jumped and jumped to the front.
"Master Grant, what do you want to do? Although you are the first person in the squad leader, the other party has eighteen heads, which is a bit troublesome. ”
The mages around knew what Grant thought, but there were a few behemoths on the other side, if there were thirteen. They can still deal with it with their efforts, but there are a lot of them in front of them.
Grant shook his head and said, "It's a waste of time to take a detour, I have something to do." Get rid of them in one go, save yourself from always turning around, and you don't like to walk too much. ”
"Of course it can't be, but there are more people on the other side."
Someone argued, but Grant ignored this, and an undead monarch bone staff appeared in his right hand, and with a light press, an undead knight appeared riding a hellfire war horse, raising a knight's spear and attacking the front. With a wave of his hand, Refi and the desert snake man appeared on another tree. Because of the promotion to the thirty-first level, Grant has a total of four main demon pet columns, which are the second level, the eleventh level, the twenty-first level and the thirty-first level four. Originally, the desert snake man was placed in the secondary demon pet column, but now the main demon pet column is replaced, and the strength is improved, which can be regarded as the late stage of the second order.
"Master!"
"Master!"
The two demon pets nodded in unison, showing reverence.
"Seconds them."
Grant's expression was indifferent, with a finger of his hand, the three second-order late-stage ones moved forward, as the late stage, five or six low-level ones in a second are not much of a problem, and the three major demon pets in front of him are enough to solve the twenty-three giant beasts, and the one in front of him is not a problem.
A minute later, with a light breeze, a smell of blood wafted in.
Seeing the situation, several mages in the rear were stunned for a while, and soon said in surprise: "It's so strong, the demon pet is so strong, it already adds up to the top strength of the second order." Grant has the same strength as Captain Pygers, and he has improved a lot. ”
"Great, with Grant, we have an easy time with the mission this time, and with him, the road ahead will not be troublesome."
When Chris saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of strength coped with the task easily. At the same time, I feel that this time the points are the most worthwhile to spend, if the other party is not the first to owe the points, I will not be able to get this benefit.
"Let's go, don't waste time."
Grant accelerated and ran, jumped on tiptoe, almost a dozen meters, and counted in a row, and had already crossed a hundred meters.
The mages in the rear, all follow in unison.
Because of Grant's super help, it is not difficult to face the transformation behemoth at all, and it is easy to deal with it. After four hours, Chris finally reached the basement and got the recipe for the target's potion. Out of interest, Grant asked Chris to see the recipe for the potion. Chris naturally agreed, and by the help of analysis, Grant shamelessly wrote it down.
The potion formula is a transformation potion, which can transform a mage or ordinary person who is lower than himself into another appearance, and the effect can last for a week, which can be said to be a very convenient potion. Grant found it interesting and simply wrote it down.
…………
The journey ended with ease, and Grant successfully completed the hiring assignment.
After he finished, plus a few days of rest, he understood that it was another half a month, and the remaining time was only four months. This time, I'm going to look for clues about the daughter of Mage Melio.
As soon as the morning dawned, after rushing to the headquarters of the Shadow Academy, he passed through many obstacles and came to the Intelligence Department.
"Hello, I need to find someone with the help of the Exploring True Magic Eye."
"Who?"
Ministry of Intelligence, MONOCULUS Chamber. A female mage with round-rimmed glasses and messy hair spoke.
When Grant saw the other party's female mage, he didn't reply, but handed over the deputy head badge. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
