Chapter 0049: Detachment

When Grim and the others walked into a simple stone room on the first floor of the wizard tower under the leadership of Kevin, they could be regarded as meeting the rest of the members of the mission. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the 10 apprentices involved in the mission to explore the Dark Crypt are 3 would-be wizards: Leo from the mushroom grove in the Lofenhoe region, Sabrina (female) from the Teresi family in the Woodrow region, and Marcus from the Black Forest Academy in the Sidney region. Among them, Leo is the young quasi-witch who provoked the injury.

The 6 senior apprentices are Siella (female), Matthew, Leander, Mary (female), Isaac and Bruce. Four men and two women, from different families in different regions, and in different directions of witchcraft, are now gathered here for a common reason.

As for Grim, the only junior apprentice, he was directly excluded from the exchange of pleasantries, as if he did not exist. As a member of the ten-person mission team, Grim's appearance will undoubtedly lower their overall strength, so for Grim, it's no wonder they can have a good face!

Grim couldn't explain why he was here, so he could only listen silently, and by the way, he turned on the chip to secretly collect their basic information.

The 10 mission apprentices arrived in 3 flying ships each. The earliest ones even came 2 days ago. Therefore, after a few days of fighting in the Wizard Tower, I am relatively familiar with this place. Therefore, it was up to them to briefly describe the specifics of this task point.

However, while they were communicating with each other, a middle-aged male wizard in a white robe and a peaked hat hurriedly walked into the stone room.

"Looks like you're all here. Well, that's good, and I'll talk about it a second time. Hey, how did you get a junior apprentice in there? Okay, well, this must be another mistake made by the old bastards of the guild. Boom ...... Now that you're here, you're going to resign yourself to your fate! The dreadclaws of the underworld are going to be blessed......"

There was a creepy sneer, but apparently no one dared to refute his crazy words.

"Okay, well, it looks like you're all a bunch of boring guys, and you don't even have anyone who dares to cause trouble. But that's good, because of pride and arrogance, the province gave away his life in the dark underground. The entire mission period is 6 months, and you are a team of 10 people, and you need to patrol the underground every 15 days, and there are about 5 locations that must be inspected each time, each located in different locations underground. ”

"So if you don't want to have an accident, it's best for ten people to stay together and patrol these five mission points in turn according to the prescribed route. If you move fast, you can do it in about 5 days, and you can leave 5 days to rest. Of course, you can also split up, so if you move quickly, you can finish the inspection in 2 days. But once you encounter those black cubs underground, you will have to beg for your life. ......"

After saying this, the faces of the ten people became ugly, and the middle-aged wizard finally introduced himself.

"My name is Angus, and you can go to my residence to find me in the future. Remember, you are on your own in any danger underground, and no one will come to your rescue. If you're lucky enough to kill those black cubs who don't have long eyes, remember to get their heads back and exchange them for rewards from me!"

“…………”

Faced with a group of silent wizard apprentices, the Angus wizard was not interested in explaining too much, turned around and hurried away.

There were no outsiders in the room, and the ten mission apprentices who had been forced together had to sit down again and begin to discuss how to complete the task.

The young witch Sabrina, who arrived 2 days early, became everyone's biggest source of information, and she gave a more detailed introduction to the mission.

This is a female wizard apprentice with waist-high black hair, and her face is covered with a half-silver mask covering the left side of her face, and she is also a beautiful woman only from the right side of her face that is exposed. However, it is strange that her left eye and exposed left hand under her mask have been replaced by mechanical organs, and there is a metallic sound that is unique to mechanical creatures.

The 5 mission points assigned to them by the Wizard Tower are all located in the shallow layer of the Dark Crypt, and the deepest part is only ten miles below the ground. If this distance is placed on the surface, it may take a few quasi-witches less than half an hour to complete the patrol. But in the underworld, it's a prohibitive distance.

It was ten miles from the mouth of the cave to the last mission point, but it was full of craggy pits, tunnels, rifts, and crevices, and the ground was full of winding passages except for a few roads that had been found to be barely safe. If you follow the proven route, you will encounter far fewer underground creatures along the way. If you break in by yourself, I'm afraid the end will not be so good-looking.

"In three days, it's our team's turn to make their first underground patrol, so today we have to discuss a specific plan so that everyone can make some corresponding preparations. Sabrina ended her speech with such a sentence, which also made everyone frown.

Three days? That's a short time!

"Don't forget, we still have some drag on our team?" the male apprentice named Isaac glanced at Grim dissatisfied, obviously annoyed that he had lowered the strength of the team.

"He's the one I brought in, and I'm responsible for his safety!" Mary's turquoise eyes lit up as she glared at Isaac in a cold and stiff tone.

"Then I propose to disperse the mission, and let this beautiful lady take her knight all the way. It's also more efficient to carry out tasks this way, and it can also free up more time for us to study and rest!" Isaac sneered.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" said Sabrina, shaking her head, "Don't think you'll get rid of the burden. Since it has become a team, it is necessary to coordinate the overall situation. There are 5 tasks per patrol, and the income of two failed tasks is halved, and the income of three failed tasks is halved. If a team of 2 is responsible for a task point, the time will indeed be much faster. But if a group is too weak, it may never come back. ”

"What, you're still sorry for this rookie?" Isaac clearly intended to be a black man to the end.

"Of course I don't feel bad. But that also indicates that in the next round, we will need eight people to do the work of ten people. In the next round, six people may do the work of ten. If you continue to consume a little bit like this, even if you are strong personally, you will only be able to waste all your time running underground in the end!" Sabrina said coldly.

Obviously, in the past 2 days, she has studied this mission in depth, and has carefully analyzed the hidden traps inside.

What a dilemma!

The whole team carried out the mission together, and because the five mission locations were relatively scattered, running back and forth would definitely be unjust and time-consuming. However, there is great strength in numbers, and it is not easy to encounter danger. If the team is divided, it is inevitable to dilute the overall strength, and if you are unlucky and destroy one or two squads, then the remaining months will be a little difficult!

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought, and even Isaac, who had been pretending to be blackfaced, was silent.

A simple task flow needs to take into account both time efficiency and balance of power. Otherwise, even if a quasi-witch thinks that he is superior in strength and kills his companions, it will be difficult for him to complete such a tedious task alone.

You must know that it is underground, and no matter how strong a person is, he can't hold on to seven or eight days without sleep. It's not as easy to wander underground alone as a few people to be vigilant against each other. Therefore, the Wizards Association set up such a task, not only to examine their ability to unite and cooperate, but also to examine their individual combat power in disguise.

Everyone is here to sharpen and improve themselves, not to spend the mission period smoothly and steadily. Mary and I are in a group and can be responsible for a task point alone, which I am confident to complete. Grim calmly said what everyone wanted to say the most.

When he opened his mouth, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in the dark and treacherous underworld, with a drag oil bottle that needs to be taken care of everywhere, even those 3 quasi-witches will have a headache.

"Okay, then settle it. Let's take a good rest during these two days, prepare the items you need for the journey, and gather here in three days. The three would-be witches couldn't help but glance at Grim a few times, once again confirming the mental fluctuations of his junior apprentice. That Sabrina obviously wanted to be the leader of this team, and she immediately knocked out the final plan.

Everyone nodded silently and left the stone chamber separately.

It wasn't until the two of them were left in the room that Mary asked with a smile on her face, "Are you so sure I'm willing to team up with you?"

"Hehe, you want blood, I want crystal nucleus, and other materials are counted. In this way, there is no conflict with each other, mutual benefit, and it is good for both of us. Grim held out his right hand.

"Hmph, I'm going to pick the loot first!" Mary's soft little hand shook Grim's hand lightly, and then she turned around and left the stone room arrogantly.

She only had three days, and she also needed to prepare some suitable things for herself. This is the first time she's left the Magic Swamp after becoming a wizard's apprentice, and Mary plans to take a good look here.

When the room was completely quiet, Grim pretended to close his eyes and meditate silently, when in fact he was in a quick communication with the chip in his mind.

"Chip, have you collected the data of those people just now?"

"Drop, the data collection is done. The list of data is as follows......"

With a smack, a stream of data appeared in his mind.

Angus Wizard, data (none)......

Sabrina, female, quasi-witch, Upanishan wizard path (estimated), body data (none)......

Leo, male, quasi-witch, regular wizard path (estimated), body stats: strength 7 agility 6 constitution 7 spirit 20 ......

Marcus, male, quasi-witch, data (none)......

……

……

The underlying data shown in the subsequent list is none.

Grim sighed wordlessly, it seemed that it was difficult to figure out the specific strength of these team members without experiencing some actual combat.
