Volume 3 High Commission Chapter 12 The Last Castle in the Sea of Forests

Yugari and the others followed the Rainbow Academy convoy to the Guild Alliance's building. Miria and Brala accompanied Zhenzhen to the recording room to take notes. The man who led the team explained the situation in detail to the person in charge of the incident in the office, and Yugari sat on the side and listened word for word. The man had to make a detailed report to his guild, so he got up and left after explaining the situation.

After the man left, the person in charge asked with some surprise, "Just now you said that you want to accept this commission?" ”

"Yes." "I want to find out who the culprit is and bring him to justice." ”

"As you heard just now, this is the second attack on children in recent times. It's also a high-level commission that no one has been able to complete in nearly a decade. Since each crime is committed against weak children, and the crime is committed very quickly, it is usually evacuated without leaving a trace before the support arrives. In addition, the Guild Alliance has limited manpower in the south, so this matter has been very difficult for a long time, and almost no one cares about it. Although the Guild Alliance attaches great importance to this matter, it has organized special processing teams to handle cases many times. However, the prisoners are very cunning and very cautious, and only attack teams with many children who are unable to move. And once you succeed, you will immediately retreat, without dragging your feet in the slightest. Nevertheless...... Do you still want to give it a try? The person in charge said embarrassedly.

"Yes. I am very angry that they have been targeting weak children for a long time and not being sanctioned. In addition, some of the children who were taken away this time were also our students, so I hope to accept this commission. ”

"I can understand your feelings, it's just ...... We have very little information to offer, and there are hardly any valuable clues. ”

"If that's the case...... Excuse me, is there anyone who has received this commission before who can tell me some helpful news? ”

"I'm going to think about that." The person in charge thought for a while, "Who has accepted this commission before...... Most of them have not encountered an incident during the period of accepting the commission, and after a long time, they naturally gave up, and the few adventurers who encountered the incident almost all died in the investigation, to say valuable information...... That's right. The leader of the Light Breeze Guild also investigated the matter when he came to the south a few months on business, and it is said that he fought the attackers, but they eventually escaped. I think this is probably the closest I've come to completing a commission in recent times. However, because they had other matters, they quickly rushed back to the north and did not continue to investigate the matter. If you can talk to her, I think you can learn more valuable information. ”

"That's right. Then I'll find a way to ask her. Thank you very much. ”

At this time, Miria and the others also finished taking notes and walked out of the next room. After saying goodbye to the staff of the Guild Alliance, a few people returned to the service station all the way. That evening, Yugari told Miria what she had heard from the person in charge and her desire to accept the commission.

"Advanced commission...... It's definitely very difficult. But I agree, my father used to teach me that I can only grow quickly if I am constantly taking on new challenges. Also, many of the people who were taken this time were my students, and it was my responsibility to get them back. Besides, being able to complete advanced commissions is a must for every good adventurer. Miria said energetically, "But then again, the Light Wind Guild should be in the Northern Dream City. How do we get there, the middle is separated by an endless abyss forest, and it shouldn't work on land. Want to take a boat ride in Jumbo Bay? ”

"It's easy. My magic unicorn can fly over. ”

"Huh? What the? Miria was surprised and said, "Can your mount fly?" How so! ”

"yes. Don't be so loud. Yujiali said embarrassedly, "Don't worry, I can fly you over." ”

"What?" Miria pouted and said, "You know, the flying mount has always been a legend, but I didn't expect you to find it." Next time you're going to take me with you to catch one, it's not fair that you're the only one. ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll take you with me next time." Yugari hurriedly comforted.

"What about me?" Blala, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, suddenly asked.

"Well...... my mount can only sit two people. Blana will stay at home this time......"

"Don't!" Blala puffed out her mouth and denied, "If you don't take me there, I'll tell the butler to go!" I'll make a small report when I go back in the future! ”

"......" Yugari and Miria were awkwardly silent for a while.

"Li Yaqi, don't they have flying mounts? How about letting them take Brala with them? Miria asked.

"This ...... Their mounts are better at flying, but they can't take people with them...... So......" At this time, Yugari saw that Brala, who had become more unhappy, and immediately changed her words, "Well, I'll go and ask Shanna-sama if she has any good ideas." With that, Yugari hurriedly got up and left the room.

After a while, Yugari happily ran back and said to Miria, "There's a way." Lady Shanna said that Sister Bailu was going to the northern city to collect information recently, so she could take Blala with her. Her mount can lead people. Hearing this, Blala eased her dissatisfaction a little.

"And when are we leaving?" Miria asked.

"Well...... Because Sister Bai Lu has other things to do tomorrow, she can only wait for the day after tomorrow. Is this good, tomorrow we will pack our luggage first. You also set up Zhenzhen, because you can't take her with you this time. I guess she knows that she is going to make trouble again. ”

"That's ......," Miria said helplessly.

Early that morning, before it was fully dawn, Miria pulled Yugari out of the service station early.

"While the little one is still sleeping, let's hurry on our way. Otherwise, when she wakes up, she will be in trouble. Miria urged.

"That's right." Yujiali nodded helplessly.

So, Yujari rode a magic unicorn with Miria, and Bailu rode a galaxy war horse to carry Brala, and it didn't take long to fly into the sky, all the way in the direction of Dream City.

"Anyway, it's the first time I've looked down at Staris from the sky. It's a big city. Yugari sighed in the air.

"It's fine. Cities of this size are everywhere in the North. Miria, who was sitting behind her, said disdainfully.

"That river up front is the Sunset River we've been to before, right?"

"Yes, beyond that is the Eternal City. Then climb over the mountains behind you, cross the Poison Mist Forest, and walk a little further to the largest forest in the adventurer's kingdom, the Abyss Forest. Miria said while thinking about the map of the adventurer's kingdom, "The very famous Shiyin Guild is in the city of Suxi in the South Abyss Forest, at the current rate, we can pass there at about noon, let's go there for lunch and take a rest by the way." ”

"Okay, let's take a little tour there."

The morning of flying made Yujali and Miria very excited, they were always enjoying the scenery under their feet, and at the same time they were planning their future trips, as if every city and place wanted to stay for a while. It was noon, and they landed in a clearing in the Southern Abyss Forest near the Last Days.

"I'm going to take a look around the neighborhood and gather some intel here, and we'll see you here in about two hours." Bai Lu said.

"Well, you should pay more attention to safety." With that, Yujiali watched Bai Lu fly into the sky again.

"In front of us is the city of the end of the day, the most famous forest city in the kingdom of adventurers. I've wanted to visit it for a long time. As soon as Bailu left, Miria couldn't wait to pull Yugari in the direction of the town.

Sueki Castle is a very old city nestled in the forests of the Southern Abyss, and is said to be thousands of years old. The city was surrounded by no tall walls, and there were no towering buildings inside. It is a city completely surrounded by ancient trees, and there are few stone buildings more than two stories high. The whole city is like a garden immersed in nature, where people and nature are perfectly integrated. Even so, there are special guards at the entrance to the town who are responsible for standing guard and patrolling. Yugari and the others showed the guards the adventurer's credentials, and after registering, they rushed in happily.

Walking through the exotic forest city, Eugari and Miria are in a very excited mood. The lawn-paved avenue is lined with strange buildings, including stone buildings that look like carriages, fragrant thatched huts, houses built in imitation of various plants and animals, and buildings built directly on towering ancient trees. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants, bonsai vegetation are too numerous to mention. Let Yujiali and the others look dizzying and ecstatic.

"There seem to be a lot of children here, and I find it seems to be ...... everywhere" Before Yugari could finish speaking, Miria quickly stopped her and whispered, "Be quiet." That's not a child. The inhabitants here are mainly made up of three races, the elves, the savages, and the little people. You're talking about the Lilliputies. Although he looks like a child on the outside, his real age may be much older than us, which is rude for people to hear. ”

"That's it." After listening to Miria's explanation, Yugari immediately felt very embarrassed.

At this time, a pleasant bell suddenly sounded in the square in the distance, and people in the streets and alleys walked in the direction of the square.

"What's going on, what's wrong?" Eugari muttered to herself.

"That's right." At this time, the elf lady who was selling flowers and herbs next to them explained enthusiastically, "Today is the 43rd anniversary of the establishment of our largest guild in Suxi City and one of the most amazing guilds in the Adventurer Kingdom, and there will be a special commemorative event in Aoba Square, and it is a prize picking event that everyone can participate in. ”

"Huh? Sounds interesting. Yugari excitedly said to Miria, "It's a rare trip, let's go and join in the fun." ”

"The prize is a free meal in the city of the end of the month." Miss Elf added with a smile.

"Don't be late." With that, Blana immediately pulled Eugarie and Miria in the direction of the square.

At this time, the statue in Aoba Square was already crowded with people who had come to celebrate, although it was not as crowded as Starlis, but it was quite a lot for a city of Suexi's size.

After a while, with a burst of cheers, a small girl climbed the statue. She has short pale yellow hair over her ears, a light brown armor, a pair of fuchsia trousers underneath, and a pair of dark brown leather boots. Looking at the appearance, he looks like he is five or six years old.

"Today is the 43rd anniversary of the establishment of the Shiyin Guild and the 16th anniversary of our official five-star guild. First of all, thank you very much for coming. As the cheers in the square rang out, the little girl continued, "As in previous years, we have prepared a lot of new gifts and wonderful programs to share with you in order to celebrate this special day. From now until sunset, there will be very interesting events for everyone to participate in, and it is a little bit of our heart that all participants can receive prizes. There will be more exciting performances waiting for everyone in the evening. ”

Amid everyone's warm applause and cheers, the little girl jumped off the statue, and then a plump young woman with shoulder-length black hair and slightly dark skin appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Hello everyone! So, let me introduce you to the content of the first event and the rules of the game. The woman said in a crisp, loud voice.

"That one just now is the vice president of the Shiyin Guild, the Lillian of the Lilliputian Clan. This is ......," Miria explained to Yugari as she flipped through the guild information of the Adventurer's Kingdom.

"Okay, don't look at it. Let's go over there and draw lots and participate in the picking event. After listening to the introduction, Yugari pulled Miria to the corner of the square, "I hope to draw an easy target." ”

"Whew? What is this? Has Miria heard of it? Yugari, who was looking at the note, asked in embarrassment.

"Never...... Let me see, isn't there an explanation and a legend underneath this. Miria took the note and said, "I don't think there's anything specific, I just gave a picture, I think it's around the town." ”

"Let's go. Only the group with the most picks will receive the grand prize. Blala urged.

"Then let's start with the nearest place." With that, they left the square and ran towards the forest near the town. They searched around for a while, but they were still empty-handed.

"Is it really around here?" Yugari said suspiciously.

"Bad, almost. You can't let everyone go to the depths of the dangerous forest to pick. After all, it's just a recreational project. ”

"Don't explain, let's find it." Blala said dissatisfied.

"Got it!"

"Here!" Yugari pulled out a very ordinary-looking grass, pointed to its rhizome and shouted excitedly, "It was buried in the ground, it should be this!" ”

Miria and the others immediately gathered around, then took out the note and said yes, "That's right, this is the ......" Before Miria could finish speaking, Blana immediately plucked the dark purple oval tuber.

"Don't be so anxious......"

"Oops! It bit my hand!! Blala suddenly threw her arms and shouted loudly.

"Huh? What's going on? Eugarie and Miria hurriedly grabbed Brala's arm. I saw that the dark purple root was cracking a crack like an animal's mouth, biting Brala's finger. Just as Eucaria was about to step forward to remove the roots, Blala suddenly went limpy and fell to the ground. This surprises Jugali and Miria.

"What's going on?" Eucaria quickly leaned down to check the condition of Brala, and then said with a long breath, "It seems that I just fell asleep." ”

"So......" said Miria, looking at the tubers in Brala's hands, "this guy must have done it." It seems that it is not a simple collection of fruits. We need to be a little more careful. With that, he took out two pairs of white gloves from the magic space, put them on with Yujali, and then picked them energetically. And Blala, who had been impatient before, had no choice but to fall asleep.

By the time Yugari and the others left the city of the end of the city, it was almost the time they had agreed with Bai Lu.

"Didn't get a big meal!" Blala puffed out her mouth and grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Who's to blame?" Miria looked at Blala and complained, "It's not because someone just sleeps that we lost the game." Always so reckless! If this was on the battlefield, it would have been out of the game a long time ago! ”

"You don't have to pick food on the battlefield......" Blala said with a pouting and turning her head.

"Alright. Who let us not know the details beforehand, and we can't blame her. But then again, what's the use of this kind of root? Yugari asked, taking out a whirling fruit, the consolation prize of the picking contest.

"When you were taking care of Blala in the lounge, I asked the staff at the venue." "It's like eating food that makes people hungrier." ”

"Huh?" Yujiali said differently. "There's such strange food. It seems like...... It's like it's useless.'"

"It must have been cultivated to help people with small amounts of food eat more!" Brala explained.

"Good...... It seems to make sense. Well, it's still safeguarded by Bralala......"

When Yugari and the others arrived in the clearing, Bailu was already waiting for them there. After learning about each other's situation, they got on their mounts and continued their journey north. Probably because of the excitement and hard work of participating in the event, along the way, Yujari and Miria both seemed a little tired and dozed off from time to time. Only Blala is still full of energy to enjoy the scenery under her feet.
