That same evening.

Assas finished working as a punching bag at the mayor's house, and when he returned to his room, Delcora and Satya were already sharing the information they had gotten today.

"Assas, it's just in time to come back," Del Cola immediately beckoned to him when he saw Assas enter the door, "We have a lot of harvest today, come and help us analyze it." ”

"This is my room......" Assas looked helplessly at the unconscious couple, "how did you get in?"

"How could an assassin and a mage not be able to pry open such a simple door—don't worry about that, come here," Del Cola waved his hand, signaling Artsas not to care about the details. What could Assas say? He only sighed, and after lamenting in his heart that he had to work hard to make friends, he hung his weapon on the wall and sat down.

"The composition of this squad is even higher than I expected, much higher," Del Cora was the first to speak, "just to say that we can be sure of the identity, the elven girl I met called herself Alania Wood Whisperer, and the two minor human nobles that Satya met were surnamed Krum and Bolu—I think you should know what all three surnames represent." ”

"The Wood Whisperers, one of the great families of the Federation of Races, whose ancestors were the founders of the forest priesthood profession, have maintained their position for thousands of years. The Krum family and the Bolu family settled in the Calavi region, but they were both wealthy merchants whose trade routes spread across the three countries, and both had a history of more than two hundred years. Assas recalled these names and couldn't help frowning, "It's too deliberate...... Why do you have to put these people together in a team?"

It seems that Mr. Lance does this every year, bringing together all these gifted students of status and status from all over the world, and grinding down the arrogance of their geniuses and aristocrats in various ways, and reducing the conflicts that may arise after the formal admission. It's not just them, it's all about having this experience. Satya said.

"Why don't we?" Del Cora asked rhetorically.

"Do you want to go?"

"I don't want to. Del Cola shrugged.

"So...... Who is the team teacher?" Assas's tone was serious, "In such a team, the team teacher must be a strong person. ”

"That's right, it's been determined, there are two teachers on the team, one is the human Golden Knight Kiran, and the other is the Orc Ancestor Spirit Leolant. Satya replied.

"Golden Rank Shaman?" Assas took a deep breath, "he was able to envelop the range of these students with just his mental power. Is there any point in our mission?"

"Ah, I see!" Satya clapped her hands with a look of frustration, "I said how those two little imps suddenly discovered me - they didn't notice me at all, but felt the mental gaze of Riolante!

“...... It doesn't make much sense anymore. Delkora grabbed her hair and turned the top of her head into a bird's nest, "Our mission is to teach them a lesson—what is a lesson? Whatever we do, if we show hostility to those students, we'll be targeted by a shaman's ancestral spirit!

"I'm wondering what the hell Mr. Lance wants us to do," Assas calmed down instead. He banged on the table and said slowly, "Mr. Lance is also a life created by God, and he will never do meaningless things. Let's imagine if it's possible that even if we do nothing, something that we bring with us can still impress this group of geniuses and erase their arrogance completely?"

“...... Are you kidding?" Delcora squinted at him.

"You mean......" Satya understood what Assas was trying to say, "You think something big might be going to happen here?"

“...... Honestly, we can't really think of ourselves as trouble makers, no matter what others think," Del Cora sighed, "Although I know that it is too much for three novice mercenaries to unseal an Ancient Holy Order in the second month, and to see the Abyss card on the day they came to town, you have to believe that it was all just a coincidence...... Is it that where we stop, there has to be a problem?"

"Think of our fathers, think of our ancestors, and look at what their epics say. Satya's expression became a little helpless, "Their journey is to solve problems all the time - you can't deny that they really seem to have a lot of troubles in their active years." ”

"It's already an objective fact - but that's not what I'm going to say," Assas shook his head, "Whether or not we're really set up in our bloodline, but this time is definitely different - Satya, do you think the Abyss Card is here to wait for us?"

"No way," Sati denied, "we don't necessarily pass through this town. There are many more roads to Randmont. ”

"But the Abyss Card has been here for two months. He's a Holy Order. ”

"One more thing," Del Colamo cocked his chin, "and the Alania came up by chance, saying that they weren't originally from Logs, but had suddenly changed direction the other day and came around here—and that they had been here about the same time as we had been here. ”

"On the one hand, it means that our whereabouts are already in the hands of Mr. Reims," Assas analyzed, "and on the other hand, both Mr. Richard and this talented team were specially sent by Mr. Reims. There's going to be a problem here, and it's a big problem – we're just drawn in by the trouble that might come. ”

"I hate to admit it, but we do seem to have some kind of ability to detonate problems, an ability that allows us to detect and solve some of the scary problems ahead of time – relatively speaking, I prefer that. "But it's all speculation—if there's such a problem that requires the involvement of a Holy Order to solve, Logwood Town will definitely suffer." ”

"Two Holy Orders—" Assas corrected him, "our protector is too. ”

"Don't mention the protectors, okay? I'm going to lose the motivation to do serious analysis. ”

"Okay. ”

This speculation is already the most likely answer – it will solve many of our current doubts. "I now suspect that this team was brought in by Mr. Lance because they were so close to the world—they were miserable." ”

"We're even worse, Satya. Most of the world they want to see will be made by us. Del Cora sighed, "I just hope it doesn't get too big, at least don't let them know I'm involved." I still want to live an ordinary college life. ”

"Last time you said you wanted to live an ordinary mercenary life. ”

"Then I rescued a Holy Order - I don't have much hope for the mercenary life, but no one can disturb my ordinary academy life. Delkora propped up the table and stood up, "Let's decide on tomorrow's battle plan first—since we know that something might go wrong, the sooner we find out, the better." Assas, are you familiar enough with Mayor Mare?"

"I was able to talk to him about simple, non-confidential government issues. Assas said.

"Then you can ask him if he has found any anomalies near the small array recently, no matter what the anomalies are, they must be sorted out in detail, and we will analyze them when we come back. ”

"Okay. Assas nodded.

"That Alania is not very easy to approach, she thinks I am a necromancer, and this profession is not very friendly to students, so Satya, the breakthrough over there in the student camp is still on you. If there is a problem here, the two teachers should have some information that the students are not allowed to approach in certain places. Then we need to focus on these places. ”

"Okay. Satya agreed.

"As for me...... I'm going to dig around here and take a look, anyway, this kind of disaster is either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and if you walk around, you can always find something abnormal. May the gods bless, Nophen bless, and don't let me run into big trouble directly. ”

The three of them went back to their rooms, took a shower, and got into bed, but Del Cola, whose brain was overactive, was a little insomnia - tossing and turning in bed, but always unable to close his eyes.

"Huh, haven't you slept yet?"

The dark space opened a crack in Del Kora's ear, and from there came Satya's languid voice.

"I can't sleep, Satya. If something happens here, I'm trying to save everyone here as much as I can - but I'm not strong enough. Seriously, I'm a little scared. ”

"I thought you were thinking about Miss Elf during the day. ”

“...... Huh?"

"Oh no, it's nothing, don't think too much about Del Kora, the Abyss Card is here, he's a real Holy Order. And, even if you don't believe him, trust Mr. Lance's judgment. He's willing to let a bunch of kids who aren't in school come and watch, and there won't be a big problem here. ”

"Maybe, or I'm thinking too much. ”

"Don't put pressure on yourself, especially when you're not strong enough. Choose to trust others. ”

"I will. Good night. ”

"Good night. ”
