Since the competition, Doro and his party have become guests of honor in the honeysuckle team, that is, Banner's mercenary team.

Many of the team members had just finished their indignation against Doro, but later they came back to worship that the camp was actually a garrison where anyone could live, and that they had come to camp for a few missions recently, the main of which was to come to this area to capture the thorn dryads alive.

Banner knew the strong, and the joy of being a young genius outweighed the injury, and although he didn't quite believe the words of the crowd, he could see that the current few people were new to this place, and they were helpless. He had already decided in his heart that he wanted to make friends, especially Doro.

During the chat, they talked about their mission and they could return to the main city, but when it came to the mission, Banner looked embarrassed, and the other tasks were almost completed, but the task of capturing the Thorn Treant alive was difficult to start.

Not for anything else, after their investigation, the thorn tree spirit will take the initiative to attack humans, but he only attacks a single person, and if he exceeds the number of people, he will not be able to hide, and in the vast thorn bushes, there is no trace at all.

The problem is that the people of the Honeysuckle Squad, including the captain, can't capture the Thorn Dryad alive on their own, they are often elusive, and when you find him, you are already bound by him, and you can only bear it, because if you are not dragged in front of him, you will not be able to find him among the countless thorns.

Hearing this, Elsie spoke weakly: "The thorn vine I encountered before is it a thorn tree spirit." ”

Banner heard a few questions, and replied that it should be, but a man can only see it until he is caught and dragged away, but how can a person who is bound capture the thorn tree spirit alive?

He had said so much that Doro had already seen it, and he spoke, "You want me to help you?"

Banner smiled wryly: "The strength of the seventh order should not be easy to deal with this kind of C-rank demonic beast, I am not impossible, but this tree spirit is too cunning, I really can't catch his traces." ”

Doro understood what he meant and didn't shirk it, and generously agreed, they saved a few lives, and it was understandable to help.

Banner smiled heartily: "Thank you very much, but don't worry, we are not in a hurry, Brother Doro can rest for a day to recuperate." ”

Doro stood up directly: "No need, just now, I want to go to the city as soon as possible." ”

"You said that as long as it is a lone person, it will take the initiative to attack, and that's fine. ”

Banner stopped him twice, and seeing that Doro had made up his mind, he could only advise him to be careful, because only one person was needed, and Elsie and the others stayed in the camp.

Doro said yes, and went out after agreeing. During this time, Elsie and Lily were both unraveling the unusually silent Dylan. Since yesterday, Dylan has not only stopped talking, but also has no expression and reaction, Elsie is worried and distressed, but there is nothing he can do.

Although he didn't see it, he could imagine that when Rick was ostracized by the space, it was Dylan who pulled him, but in the end, he could only watch helplessly as their hands parted, and Sister Lina was chased by the demons behind him and fell to the ground when she was pulled by him.

Dylan looked calm, he didn't know how to blame and pain in his heart, Elsie couldn't imagine, couldn't comfort, in one day, he lost his last loved one from his hands, the most tacit best friend, what kind of inner torture he was enduring it?

There was nothing Elsie could do, and he could only pray that life would be kind to Dylan in the days to come.

Lily was raised by her grandfather because of the loss of her parents, but her grandfather also died when she was twelve years old, grandpa was an ordinary person, usually responsible for the daily care of the church, after her grandfather died, she became a nun of the church, and received a lot of care from Enzo, Enzo was gentle and strong in her heart, more like a father's role.

After witnessing Enzo's death, she was in a trance for a long time, but her character is independent and characteristic, although she is just a little girl, she has her own views and understanding of many things, including the death of her relatives, Lily's state makes Elsian's heart a little, at least she doesn't have to worry that she can't get out of the blow.

......

Things went even more smoothly than Banner had imagined, and when he came over, Elsie was already leaning on the thing that Doro was carrying: "So the thorn tree spirit looks like this." ”

Lily watched from the side: "It looks so weak, it's not as domineering as the name is at all." ”

Banner smiled as he walked over and explained, "Don't look at it like this, in the Thorn Forest it can drive thorns, and it can hide in any branch at will. ”

Banner pulled out a special sack and prepared to put the thorn dryad inside, which writhed and struggled in Doro's hand like a thin, earthy snake, with a few branches growing beside it, no different from the branches that could be found everywhere on the ground.

After successfully completing the task, not only Banner, but even the members of Honeysuckle were very happy, and the matter that had plagued the team for a few days was easily solved by Doro, allowing them to see the gap in class strength, and they were more enthusiastic and adored for Doro.

Now that the mission has been completed, everyone has no intention of staying here again, and plans to return the next day after tonight.

......

On the second day, everyone had packed up and prepared to return to the main city, and the Doro people were naturally ready to go together, this place was actually not far from the city, and on the way, Banner introduced the information here.

At present, the country where everyone is located is the huge country of the Henonia Empire on the plains, with nearly 100 cities of all sizes, each with a population ranging from one million to 10 million. Elsie was dumbfounded, the population of the entire empire of Atlantis combined was less than 10 million.

And the city they are going to return to is one of the four main cities of the Hernonian Empire, Korono, with a population of more than 10 million, mixed human dragons, and many other races living in it in addition to humans, so it is not strange to see elven dwarves and the like on the street.

The honeysuckle team is an obscure D-class team employed by the Adventurers Association, except for the captain Banner, who is a sixth order, the other twenty people are all fourth- and fifth-order cultivators, and there are even non-cultivator healers like Shanna.

They have not been specifically commissioned, and generally go to the Adventurers' Guild on their own to find and accept tasks to earn honorariums, and the mercenary teams that can become household names are either large with hundreds or thousands of members, and each has a strict hierarchy in their duties, or the average strength of the team members is extremely high, and they are known for their excellent completion of A-level or higher commissions.

Doro noticed the longing and yearning in Banner's eyes at the mention of these famous mercenary troops.

Colono was not a walled city, it was too big, and according to Banner, it was more like a huge city intertwined by countless roads, even encompassing many towns and villages, but they were not far away.

It was only when they were really close to Colono that they really realized what the main city of the empire was, and that it was like a small country that brought everyone together.

Banner led everyone inside, and when he entered the territory of Cronor, many members of the Honeysuckle team reported to Banner that they wanted to see their families, and Banner agreed, explaining to everyone: "Although most of us take on low-level tasks, some of them will also be dangerous, so every time they go out and come back, they will go home to report their safety, and then come back to train." ”

Banner led a few people back to his house, his house is not a small courtyard, he said with a smile: "When I decided to form a mercenary team instead of joining it, I thought that there would be members in the future, so I gritted my teeth and took out all my belongings and bought here, it's not big, but it's enough for everyone to train." ”

After entering the door, crossing the main road, Banner introduced the surrounding houses to several people, and standing in front of the main house, he was very enthusiastic: "You can all live here in the future." ”

Elsie and Lily were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, only Doro frowned, "Thank you, but we don't plan to join your mercenary team." ”

Elsie didn't know why Doro suddenly said such a thing, but Banner showed an expression of surprise: "I understand, people like you will never stop in my small team, you should go to those top mercenary teams, they will definitely not refuse you." ”

Doro's brows furrowed even deeper: "Actually, I don't plan to take them to join the Adventurers' Guild, even if I have to do it later, I don't want to be controlled by others. ”

Banner said this but showed a relieved expression: "That's right, I understand, but you can still stay here, anyway, you don't know where to settle down now, right?" I only have a small request, Doro, you young talent, I only hope that I can ask you for a favor in the future, it won't be too much." Banner offered to keep it anyway.

It wasn't a big deal, and they really needed a place to stay, so Doro nodded and agreed without much thought.

"But," Banner said, "you're still young, do you think about where you're going and what you're going to do?"

Doro shook his head, and Elsie replied, "Believe it or not, but our country is gone, and now we have no place to return......"

"I have an idea," Banner thought for a moment, "at your age, why don't you go to school! In a few days, March 3rd, is the day when all the Academies of Colonor begin to enroll!"
