Chapter Eighty-Four: Employment
When he felt that the spiritual link of the corrosive giant was broken, the boy in the lead instantly shouted loudly.
At his reminder, two long arrows flew out one after the other, shooting at the scavenger that was still biting.
At the same time, Freya, who had been in a state of preparation, also pounced on it from the tree at a strange speed.
'Hum...'
The small hum slowly dissipated from where Freya had been standing, and Forant, who was closer to her, could even see Freya's afterimage in the rain.
'Do! ''Poof! β
A long arrow hit the scavenger in the right eye, but it didn't penetrate it due to its strong constitution, while the other crossbow arrow unfortunately missed the scavenger's side.
The scavenger beast, whose eyes were suddenly hit hard, let out a terrible howl, and it didn't even have the consciousness to resist and wanted to run away.
However, having lost its right eye, it had lost its long-standing vigilance, and was bent on escaping, even noticing the great danger overhead.
Falling from the sky, Freya was like a gray falcon, and the cross sword in her hand vibrated rapidly at an extremely fast frequency, and a faint cone-shaped air flow formed at the tip of the sword.
The low rain couldn't even match her at this moment, and the scavenger didn't have time to dodge at all, even if she had already used all her speed.
'Bang!! β
Suddenly, a loud noise came from under the tree, as if something had exploded, followed by turbulence caused by the storm behind it.
The three people standing in the treetops looked at the scene below with strange eyes, and then looked at each other wordlessly, although the four of them had confessed before, and they had heard that Freya herself introduced herself as good at raiding, but they really didn't expect her to make such a big noise.
ββ¦ This is beyond the strength of a second-class apprentice. The boy muttered unconsciously.
The turbulence caused by the storm dissipated after the rain washed away in a short time, and the remaining three people quietly descended from the trees.
The scavenger lay on the ground intact, with only its head turning into a large circular hole. Around the entrance of the cave is a reddish-white liquid that slowly flows down the rainwater into the earth.
Freya stood next to the corpse, calmly taking out a piece of white cloth from her gray robe and gently erasing the marks on the crosssword.
Although the three of them looked a little abnormal, they didn't say anything.
The boy at the head. Walked over to the scavenger, pulled a dagger from his waist, cut off all four claws, and got up and smiled.
"Okay, everyone has the proof of this mission, and it just so happens that this corpse makes up for my bottle of corrosive potion, everyone... No comment. β
Although he was addressing the three of them, his eyes were fixed on Freya's expression.
"Absolutely." Freya, who was watching, was the first to speak, "If it weren't for the Rand seniors who were attracted by the Corrupted Giant. We're not going to be that easy to get our hands on. β
The scavenger itself is not very useful. If it is sold, it will only be one-third of the price of the magic stone, and Rand wants to estimate that it will be used to refine something. So she doesn't care about anything in this place.
The other two saw that Freya had already expressed their position, and they all nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they all agreed, Rand smiled and handed the paw to the three of them.
As she passed by Freya, Rand paused deliberately, and secretly put a magic stone in her hand along with her claws.
"If you do hunting missions in the future, remember to contact them often." Rand's voice suddenly appeared in Freya's ears, but his mouth remained closed.
See this. Freya also understood that it was Rand who used an unknown secret teleportation method, and did not want the other two to know.
Freya, who understood Rand's psychology, also smiled and nodded slightly, and put the magic stone and claws back into the gray robe.
"Alright, the mission is over, I've used the teleportation ring to inform my friend to come and carry the body, if you're okay. You can go back with me. Rand invited.
"It just so happens that I'm fine. Let's go back with Senior Rand. The other girl immediately replied when she heard Rand's words, obviously intending to make friends.
"I'll forget it. I still have one more task to complete. Forrant also saw what the girl meant, and said with interest.
"Freya, what about you? Would you like to go back together, some of my friends might you be interested in making friends with? Not caring about the conversation between the two of them, Rand turned to Freya and asked gently.
"No, I'm done with this mission, just in time to buy a spell model I like, next time." Freya smiled.
"Oh, that's a shame." Rand said with some regret.
"Then I'll go first." Freya nodded to him, re-strapped her cross-sword to her waist, and turned to walk straight in the direction of the Academy.
After Freya left, Forrant also took the opportunity to leave in the opposite direction.
Rand quietly watched in the direction Freya had left, and gently touched his chin.
"Senior Rand, could it be that you have a crush... Sister Freya? The girl standing next to Rand looked at him, although she was ashamed of Freya's strength, but she still said the problem in her heart with a girlish heart.
"Fancy it?" Hearing the girl's words, Rand turned his head in surprise, then smiled, and then teased, "How come, if you want to say that you like it, you should also take a fancy to you, Sister Lena." β
"Huh?? Senior... You're not kidding?? The girl, named Lena, covered her mouth in disbelief.
"Joking, of course." β¦β¦
Freya, who didn't know what the two were talking to, buried her head and hurried in the direction of the academy.
Her black leather boots were uncomfortable on the damp ground, and she tightened the hood on her head so that the rain would not get used to it because of running.
"With this reward, I can just buy the basic knowledge course of the enchantment system, but the remaining magic stones can't buy another spell model, and after all, it is still not as good as those apprentices who have the family behind them." Freya sighed slightly.
The Elgreen Wizarding Academy itself is not a simple academy, but a huge wizarding organization formed by the alliance of several wizarding families.
When recruiting qualified wizard apprentices, they will also be given some tasks in the middle.
It is said that after becoming an official wizard, there is also a chance to choose to enter a certain wizarding family and become a member of it to work for it.
And that Rand was one of the potential apprentices of these wizarding families.
Freya had encountered similar covert solicitations several times, and although she had the heart to go, for the second thing that she and Hegel had promised, if she joined the wizarding family, she would be restricted in her actions, which she did not want.
However, she has always been very envious of the various benefits of joining the wizarding family.
"Alas... It's better to do the task honestly and save magic stones. Freya shook her head helplessly.
Suddenly, the communication ring on her index finger suddenly became hot, stopping her as she was on her way.
"Employment?" Looking at the flashing red dots of light on the ring, Freya raised an eyebrow.
Previously, under Kaidi's Jianyì, when she accepted the hunting mission, she also reported her information to the mission file for the hiring of the mentors.
It's just that because she belongs to the apprentice of the positive energy department and is only second-class, there has been no news, so she almost forgot about it.
I didn't expect that after so many days, there would be an official wizard choosing her.
"If you don't know the nature of employment, if the pay is low, just refuse it." Looking at the flashing communication ring, Freya decided in her heart. (To be continued)
