The morning sun always seemed more and more dazzling, and the closer the carriage got to Starlis, the more vegetation and birds and beasts were seen around it, and after passing the valley in front of the farewell camp, you could see that the road in the distance had changed from wasteland to dense forest. The air around is not as dry as it used to be, birds still fly in the sky from time to time, and the roads are getting smoother and wider.

Gradually, a city full of houses appeared at the end of the road ahead. On either side of the city is a lush forest that stretches all the way, and the city is surrounded by a white wall made of tall and heavy rock, surrounded by a crystal clear moat, and a long stone bridge over the river leads to the boulevard.

Fiona and Cornia each drove their respective carriages up to the stone bridge, lining up behind the long procession into the city. Youjiali and Li Yaqi jumped out of the carriage and observed the bustling crowd around them and the beautiful scenery in the distance.

"Look at it," Li Yaqi tugged at the corner of Youjiali's clothes, looked at the group of big men who had just walked past them, and whispered, "This group of people are all fierce and vicious, they are definitely not good people, should we take a look at the past?" ”

"No......" Yugari explained awkwardly, "I think they're just adventurers who go out of town on a commissioned mission." ”

"Is that so?" Li Yaqi sighed in disappointment, "Anyway, do you have to pay money when you enter the city this time?" ”

"How so?" Yujiali said with a smile on her face, "I've never heard of the need to collect money to enter the city?" ”

"Huh?" Li Yaqi was surprised and thought she had misheard.

From time to time, small traders and vendors passed by in the procession into the city, selling their own goods. Youjiali and Li Yaqi also gathered around with interest to take a look. Li Yaqi couldn't resist the vendors' rhetoric and bought a lot of strange-shaped fruits.

"Alright, let's go." Yujiali pulled Li Yaqi and said as she walked forward, "If you don't leave, you will be left behind by Konya and them." Li Yaqi reluctantly left the crowd of vendors, caught up with the carriage again, and went into the city.

Passing through the checkpoints at the city gates, a marble-paved avenue appears in front of you. The houses are built in a very regular manner, and the main road is straight and smooth. Yugari and Fiona parked the carriage on the side of the road and were discussing where to go first, when Li Yaqi shouted to Yugari and the others in front of a retro-looking house not far away, "Hey! Look here! ”

Hearing Li Yaqi's shout, Yugari, Fiona, and Cornia walked over together. When they came to the door of the house, Li Yaqi pointed to the sign hanging at the door and said, "Look! ”。 Youjiali looked at the place pointed by Li Yaqi, and the huge word "for sale" was written on the sign. "How? This house is big enough, right? Li Yaqi said, "Shall we buy it as a place to live?" ”

Yugari took a closer look at the house. It is about ten meters high, with three floors, the bottom floor is almost 30 meters wide, and the top floor has two or three rooms. The house as a whole is basically made of wood and a small amount of stone. The rooms are painted in bronze with many unique motifs carved into them, and the large entrance has several wooden windows to the left and right. The whole house is designed to be retro and chic.

At this point, Jugari looked at Fiona, hoping to hear her advice. Fiona took a closer look at the house, and then said seriously, "Well, from the outside, it should have been used for business before, and the location is okay, not far from the south gate, it looks pretty good, I don't know how it is inside, or let's go to the seller and ask in detail." ”

"Well, that's all it would be nice, but you don't have to go," said Eugaria, "and then, Konya, you leave the carriage here, and Fiona and I, and then call Mistress Shana, and go to the master of the house." ”

"What about us?" Li Yaqi asked, pointing to her face.

"Hmm...... Well, I don't think there's anything else to do, so why don't you just go and wander around the city, and when it's time for dinner, how about we meet here?" Eugari suggested.

"Great!" Li Yaqi shouted excitedly. So, she immediately urged Konya to park the carriage, and then called Bai Lu and the others to walk towards the depths of the city together.

After Li Yaqi and the others left, Yujiali, Shanna and Fiona followed the contact address written on the sign to a small house not far away. Yugari stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a silver-haired grandmother opened the door.

"Hello!" Yujiali said politely, "We saw the information about the sale of the house in front of us, and we want to ask you about the specific situation." ”

"Oh, please, sit inside." The old woman turned around and led everyone into the living room. "You're welcome, just sit down." The old lady greeted everyone warmly and made tea. Then, he said, "That's what happened. That house was originally used by my children to run a restaurant here, and there were also a few rooms in it, so basically they used to live there. Later, they all went to the north to develop, and they probably thought that the business in the north was better. Actually, they always wanted me to go with me, but the old man and I have been living here for decades, and we have old arms and legs, so we don't want to move. Until a few years ago, when the old man was gone, I felt a little bored to stay here alone, and sometimes I missed them, so when they came to persuade me to come over, I was going to leave here. The house I live in now, according to our old man's wishes, will be left to the welfare agency of Starlis when I am gone. The house for sale, if you like it, the price is not a problem, I just hope you take good care of it, maybe occasionally when I come back, I want to see it. ”

"I understand your feelings very well, after all, I have lived here for a long time, I must be very reluctant." "Actually, when I first came out of my home for a trip, I was very reluctant. However, I think that as long as I can live with my family, I will be happy wherever I go. ”

"Yes, I'm leaving the city, but it should be nice to be able to live in the north with my children." Fiona said approvingly.

"That's true, that's what I thought before I decided to leave." The old lady nodded, and continued, "I'll take you inside the house, don't just listen to me here." ”

With that, the old lady got up and walked out of the gate with Eugarie and the others, walking in the direction of the house.

Before coming to the house, the grandmother unlocked the door, and everyone walked into the house one after another.

The hall of the house is very spacious, with more than a dozen large tables side by side, and the wooden floor is polished, so it can be seen that although the house has long been uninhabited, it is still carefully cared for every day. Whether it's the snow-white walls around you or the spotless bar in front of you, you know that there are always people cleaning here.

"This is the lobby of the old restaurant," the old woman said, pointing to the hall, "about twenty or thirty tables." There is the bar, and behind it is the warehouse and kitchen. There are stairs in the warehouse that lead to the basement below. A staircase next to the bar leads to the guest rooms on the second floor, where there are 15 rooms in total. The house has three floors, and the top floor has two particularly large rooms, which were used as the children's study. ”

"I'll take you to the back of the show." After saying that, the old woman led everyone through the corridor behind the bar and into the backyard.

"There are a few flower beds here, where the children raised flowers and grass. The storehouses on the edge of the stables in the distance probably still had some seeds and fertilizer in them. In the first few years, I would take time to take care of this place, but now my health is getting worse and worse, so I don't have any more flowers and plants. The old woman paused and continued, "The gate over there leads to the alley next door, from where wagons and goods can come in. ”

In this way, the grandmother introduced all the information about this house to everyone in detail and comprehensively, even including the history of the house, the construction process, the source of materials, etc., and every sentence contains strong feelings for this house.

With the introduction of the old grandmother, they carefully looked at the whole house, inside and out, and after everyone had no questions, the old woman took everyone back to her residence, and continued to talk while drinking tea.

The grandmother talked a lot about her past with her children, and how the city has changed over the years. Eugari and Fiona also talked about their experiences and how they planned and used the house in the future. Everyone chatted very happily and were very satisfied with this transaction. The grandmother also told Yujiali the specific address where they were going to move, hoping to have the opportunity to meet again in the future. By the time the grandmother sent everyone out, and Yujiali and the others returned to the house with the key, it was already the west.

"Then let's prepare the celebratory dinner for tonight." Fiona said, pulling the three Maye sisters.

"I'm going up and tidying up my room." Shanna said as she walked in the direction of the stairs.

"I'll help you prepare dinner too." Jugari said to Fiona.

At this time, Li Yaqi happened to come in from the door.

Yugari saw her come back alone and asked, "Huh?" Why are you the only one coming back? What about the others? ”

"Huh? Didn't they come back? Li Yaqi replied, "We have long been separated and walked separately, I thought they were all back." ”

"No," said Yugari, "in this case, you go and get Conya back, it's about to be dinner, and if you can't find it, you won't have your share." ”

"Why, why should I go looking for it?" Li Yaqi protested dissatisfiedly.

"Alright, let's go." Yujiali said as she pushed Li Yaqi to the door.

Li Yaqi reluctantly walked out of the door, so she had to go to find Konya.

Although Li Yaqi, a hunter, has a very wide range of tracking creatures, it is not big enough to cover the entire Starlis. So she still looked for Konya from one end of the city to the other in a carpet way.

"It's really hard to find this, so let's draw a portrait and ask others." Thinking of this, Li Yaqi took out a pen and paper, and quickly drew a portrait of Konya, although perhaps there was no resemblance to those who knew Konya.

Li Yaqi inquired about Conya's whereabouts as she walked, and finally asked for some clues at a fish shop around the corner.

"Well...... I don't think I've ever seen this person in your painting, but this afternoon there was a little girl of about your size and age, and her clothes were very similar to the people in the painting, and she asked me for directions. An uncle at the door of the fish shop replied.

"I think it's her," Li Yaqi asked happily, "So where did she go?" ”

"I think about it...... She asked me where I could fish, and I told her that there was a lake in the West Vigil Forest where you could catch fish. The uncle paused and continued, "She ran away before I could finish speaking. I guess she's going there. ”

"Okay, thank you!" After speaking, Li Yaqi immediately turned around and ran away.

After a while, Li Yaqi ran back out of breath again. "So, that, where is the West Vigil Forest?" Li Yaqi asked while panting.

"This ......," said the uncle with a wry smile, "if you go out of the West Gate from here, you will continue to walk along the main road outside the West Gate, and then you will not go far into the forest." If you go from the south gate, go out of the south gate and turn right, go into the forest and go west, and you will find the lake. ”

"Okay!" Li Yaqi turned around again.

"There are a lot of monsters and beasts in that forest, it's going to get dark soon, it's very dangerous, don't go by yourself!" The uncle shouted vigorously at Li Yaqi's figure that was gradually running away.

Here's the thing. After separating from Li Yaqi and them in the afternoon, Conia wandered around the city alone. When I happened to pass by a fish shop, I was attracted by the strange-shaped fish on the counter. "Huh? I don't think I've ever seen these fish before, they all look delicious, and if I buy them and let Yujiali make them, they will be very delicious, and they will definitely make Li Yaqi drool." Thinking of this, Konya pointed to one of them and asked, "Uncle, how much is this fish?" ”

The boss looked at the pink catfish that Konya was pointing at and said, "Ten silver coins." ”

"What?! It's so expensive!' Cornia secretly exclaimed in her heart, "Isn't it? This uncle can't be a trick on me, right? Look at me like a child, can you deceive?'

"Is it that expensive?" Konya asked, looking at the uncle with suspicion.

"Of course, little girl, this big pink spiked catfish is a specialty of Starlis, and can only be caught here in the Vigil Forest." The uncle said unconvinced, "You can go to other stores to take a look, my prices here are already quite cheap, not expensive at all." ”

"Besides," continued the uncle, "if you think it's expensive, you can buy the black grass carp next to it for less than two silver coins." ”

Conia looked at the black grass carp that the uncle pointed to, although it was indeed not small, but it didn't look like Conya at all, and she suddenly showed a disgusted expression.

"Such an ugly fish, it must not be delicious!" Konya said in her heart.

"Forget it, tell me where you caught this fish from?" Konya asked, pouting.

"Huh? What the? Uncle didn't react for a while.

"I—yes," Conya said, word for word, "where did you catch this fish?!" Didn't you just say it's a specialty here? ”

"That's right, but ......," said the uncle, embarrassed, "it's hard to catch, and it's a dangerous place, and there are often ......."

"Alright, tell me where to catch it?!" Konya exclaimed impatiently.

"Okay, but you must not go alone...... "the nearest place is the forest in the southwest of the city, you go out of the south gate and walk along the path, almost a few miles, you can see a lake, right there." ”

"Well, I see, then, thank you." With that, Konya turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait, wait, little girl." The uncle immediately stopped Konya.

"Huh?" Konya looked back.

"I mean, don't go alone, it's dangerous." Uncle said worriedly, "There are not only ferocious beasts, but also werewolves, dryads, and goblins, etc., etc., there are many things that can attack people." ”

"Yes, yes." Konya turned her head, waved her hand, and responded as she walked in the direction of the south gate, "Don't worry, I won't go alone." ”

"Ahh Konya continued to stare at the calm surface of the lake, bored.

After a while, there seemed to be a pink fish shadow hovering near the bait in the lake. When Konya found out, she couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, her eyes widened, she held her breath, and stared intently at her fishhook. "Hurry up and take the bait, hurry up and take the bait, delicious little fish." Konya muttered in her heart.

At the moment when the big pink fish is about to be hooked.

"Konya!" In the bushes behind him, Li Yaqi's figure suddenly appeared, pounced on him from behind, and hugged Konya at once, "Hurry back to eat, I'm dying of hunger!" ”

The rod vibrated violently, and immediately scared the big pink fish into oblivion.

"My ...... Big Pink Fish......" Konya knelt on the shore in despair, looking at the empty hook. Then, she immediately turned around and grabbed Li Yaqi's collar, "My fish!" Lose my big fish! I spent an afternoon catching big fish! ”

"Huh?" Li Yaqi turned her head and saw the bucket next to her, walked over, picked up the bucket and poured it down, and said, "Where is the fish, there is obviously nothing in it?" Li Yaqi looked at Cornia blankly.

"I'm about to catch it!" Konya shouted at Li Yaqi, "It's all you!" If it weren't for you, that ...... just now"

"Ah——!h At this moment, Konya and Li Yaqi heard a piercing scream not far behind them. They immediately turned away. I saw several figures tumbling and falling out of the bushes not far away, and several figures following them were stumbling over to help them.

Li Yaqi saw that these figures were almost all teenagers of the same age as them, most of them were covered in blood, some of them were hit by a few arrows, and some of the blood couldn't stop flowing out, staining the soil around them. Their expressions were frightened, and their eyes gathered together in despair.

At that moment, out of the bushes they had run out of the bushes came an exceptionally tall goblin. Generally speaking, the average adult goblin is just over a meter tall and relatively thin. But this goblin is not only taller than the average human, but also looks extremely strong. It grabbed a tree trunk as a weapon in its right hand and walked unhurriedly towards the teenagers. Behind it, a dozen "normal" goblins sprang out of the bushes. They all had evil smiles on their faces, and they followed behind the big goblin in rags.

"Roaring ——!" At this time, the big goblin made a loud threat that resounded through the sky, startling countless birds around him, and even more frightened the young man opposite.

"It's noisy! Shut up! Konya shouted angrily at the goblins, "My fish are all gone!" ”

Hearing Konya's voice, the big goblin turned his head to look this way, looked Konya and Li Yaqi up and down, and then shrugged his shoulders and smiled sarcastically. The goblins behind him also laughed sarcastically.

Then, the big goblin turned around and dragged the trunk of the tree in his hand towards Konya.

Seeing the goblin's sarcastic smile, Konya became more and more annoyed, and she immediately summoned her silver-white metallic "epic" staff from the magical space, and the staff emitted a faint purple-red soft light around the staff. The moment the staff appeared, all the goblins on the other side couldn't help but shudder. Before the goblins could think about it, a crisp voice rang out, "Shadows, Haunted by Hundred Ghosts." After saying that, an overwhelming amount of black energy rushed out of Konya's staff, turning into the faces of evil spirits, dragging a long black afterimage, and speeding towards the group of goblins. Each of the demonic faces, upon contact with the goblin's body or armor, immediately pierces through it, leaving a wound gushing with blood, and then turns around again, or seeks another target, and ravages at will. The goblin that was directly pierced through the head, throat and other vital parts immediately fell to the ground and died, while the goblin who was constantly piercing the body and limbs rolled and struggled in the dirt until he died. There was no time to escape, and there was no way to resist, and in a few moments, all the goblins fell in a pool of blood.

"Alright, let's go." Li Yaqi didn't seem to care about what was happening in front of her, dragged Conya's arm and walked in the direction of going back, "If you don't go back, there will be no food." ”

Although Konya was still angry, she had to reluctantly go back with Li Yaqi.

As soon as Li Yaqi walked in the door, she smelled the thick aroma of rice coming to her nose, and she pulled Konya and immediately rushed to the dining table, "We're back!" ”

At this time, everyone was sitting at the dining table in the hall to celebrate the housewarming and at the same time to hold a grand dinner for everyone to officially start their new life in Starlis.

Yugari was at the front of the scene and took on the role of temporary host, "You're here just in time. When Yujiali saw Li Yaqi and them coming in, she hurriedly beckoned them to sit down, and continued, "First of all, after our discussion, we decided to use this place as our residence in Starlis in the future, and create a comprehensive service station, the name was coined by Fiona and the others, it is called 'Journey Service Station'!" ”

"Cheers!" Fiona interrupted Eugari, raised her glass in the air, and shouted.

"Cheers!" Li Yaqi also stood up and raised her wine glass in agreement, and drank it all.

"It's a shame." Konya complained silently, and at the same time picked up the wine glass in her hand.

At this time, everyone also raised their wine glasses, congratulated each other, and drank freely.

"And then......" Yugari continued happily, "from tomorrow, our travel service station will mainly be operated by Fiona and her catering services, and we may continue to expand the scope of business in the future, but for now, due to manpower limitations, we will start with catering." Yugari paused and continued, "Also, tomorrow I will be with Lord Shanna and Sister Kailin," and at this point Yugari glanced at a fair-skinned girl with short lotus hair sitting at the outermost edge of the table, and the girl nodded to Yugari expressionlessly. "And you, Li Yaqi and Conya, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild Alliance in Staris tomorrow and register the guild."

"Huh?" When Cornia heard her name, she leaned her head and asked, "Is Sister Karin going too?" ”

"yes, because I heard that the president and vice president must be present when registering a guild." "By the way, we're going to register our guild under the name 'Journey', the same name as the service station. Shanna-sama will be the president, and Sister Kailin will be the vice president. Any questions? After saying that, Yujiali looked at everyone, and after confirming that everyone expressed their support and there was no problem, Yujiali looked at Li Yaqi and Konya and continued, "It seems that some commissions need to be completed after registering the guild, so those commissions are the first tasks given to you after the guild is established tomorrow." ”

"No problem!" Li Yaqi stood up and replied loudly with a drunken face. Feeling embarrassed, Konya immediately got up and pressed her to her seat again.

The celebratory dinner continued, with the three May sisters performing their cat-people dance, Yugari and Fiona demonstrating their cooking skills, and Li Yaqi singing loudly with the help of wine. The banquet lasted until late, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest, except for Fiona, who lasted until the end and packed everything up, before walking back to her room.

In this way, everyone spent their first day in Starlis.

"Good morning!" The next morning, Eugarie walked down the stairs and greeted Fiona as she cleaned at the bar, followed by Cornia, Shanna, and Kailin.

"Good morning! Girls. Fiona responded, "I'm going out so early, is it to register for the guild?" ”

"yes, because I don't know what the situation is, so it's better to go earlier." Eugari replied.

"Why don't you go after breakfast? and you'll be ready in no time. Well? Fiona looked at Yugari and asked, "Looks like there's a little guy missing, right?" ”

"Drunk in bed." Konya said coldly.

"Don't bother." Yugari took over and said, "We just happened to be on the way to get acquainted with the city a little more, so we can buy something to eat." ”

At this time, Mei came out of the warehouse just after sorting out the goods, and Yujali and her greeted each other with good morning, and said to Fiona, "Then, let's go first." ”

"Be careful all the way!" Fiona admonished.

After leaving the service station, Yugari and her party walked around the city unhurriedly, walking in the direction of the Guild Alliance. They walked along Starlis's main thoroughfare, past bustling shopping streets, savored a variety of snacks, crossed the city's east-west creek, bypassed tree-lined Central Park, and arrived at a tall, majestic building.

This majestic building is the building of the Guild Alliance, located in the northeast of Starlis Central Park, more than 40 meters high, covering an area of more than 100,000 square meters, the building is composed of yellow-white granite, with the eaves built of white characteristic jade, and the granite base is several meters high, surrounded by dozens of tall circular columns, which is the landmark building of the city.

Yugari and her party walked into the hall of the Guild Alliance. The hall is supported by towering, pure white stone columns, and sunlight pours in through the stone windows entwined with flowers and vines, and onto the spotless paved ground of special jade. The hall is full of people, most of them are guild teams who have come to pick up or deliver entrusted tasks. Of course, there were also some people who came to study and exchange ideas sitting on the benches in the hall and discussing their opinions.

Yugari came to the front desk and politely asked a waitress in a blue uniform, "Excuse me, where should I go to register for the guild?" ”

"The innermost three service windows are fine." The waitress said with a smile as she indicated the direction of the service window for Eugari.

"Thank you very much." After Yujiali finished speaking, she led the group towards the window for guild registration.

"Hello! We're here to sign up as an adventurer's guild. Yugari came to one of the service windows and said to the staff inside.

"You are very welcome to come to Starlis to register for the guild. Here are some forms to fill out and related introductory materials, please take a look. A young man in his early twenties said with a very sunny smile as he handed the thick material to Yugari's hand.

When Youjiali took the materials, the little brother stretched out his hand to indicate the position next to him and said, "There are chairs and desks over there, you can sit there and study slowly." ”

"Okay, thank you." Youjiali and her party followed the gesture of the little brother to the seat next to them and studied it carefully. At this time, a waitress also delivered a drink to everyone in time, and everyone thanked them for this.

"Guild application form, member personal information form、......" Yugari said to herself as she sorted the forms and filled them out one by one.

"General chapter, the guilds of the Adventurer Kingdom (hereinafter referred to as the kingdom) are divided into seven levels," Konya took the part of the material about the guild introduction and read it quietly, "You can become a trainee guild by registering with the guild alliance in each major city, and you can engage in basic production and business activities in the kingdom, see Chapter 1 for specific information." Konya flipped back through the information she had introduced, and said in embarrassment, "It's such a complicated rule, and there are so many things that I can't understand......

At this time, Kailin took the information in Conya's hand and continued to read in a flat tone, "After registering as a trainee guild, as long as you complete the assessment commission, you can become an official guild and enjoy all the rights and interests of the general guild of the kingdom, see Chapter 2 for specific information. After becoming an official guild, according to the guild's contribution and overall strength, the guild alliance will regularly rate the guild, from low to high, with one-star guilds, two-star guilds, three-star guilds, four-star guilds, and five-star guilds. The specific evaluation criteria and cycle are described in Chapter 3. All major matters of the kingdom are decided by the representatives of the seven council-level guilds, and the promotion criteria for council-level guilds are described in Chapter 4. See Chapter 5 for the rules and regulations that all the kingdoms must follow. ……”

In this way, Kailin read all the information in her hand to everyone page by page, while Yujiali carefully filled out all the relevant application forms on the side.

"Alright, it's finally done!" Yujiali put down the pen in her hand, took the filled out information, and walked towards the service window with everyone.

The waiter's little brother took Youjiali's application form, carefully checked it for a while, and then said to Youjiali: "Okay, there is no problem." There is still some information to collect about the president and vice president, so please go to the next room to handle it. Then, regarding the assessment commission, you need to send a representative to draw it. ”

"Huh?" Yugari asked, "Is the commission for the assessment different?" ”

"Yes, in order to prevent some guilds from preparing in advance, the commission for each assessment is to draw one from a random five documents, each of which has three commissions, and only by completing all the above three commissions within the specified time can it become an official guild."

"Well," thought Eugari, "then ......"

"I'm going to smoke it." Conya, who was standing next to Yugari, seemed to be reluctantly speaking.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Eugari replied in understanding, and then took Shanna and Kailin to the next room to continue the process.

According to the waiter's instructions, Konya took one of the five documents, then returned to the seat next to her, and couldn't wait to open it and look at it.

"The assessment mission," Konya said silently, "In the northern region of the East Vigil Forest lives a ferocious beast called the 'Night Watch Bull', which sometimes appears in the surrounding areas of the forest to attack the merchants, but its meat is delicious and nutritious, please use this as a material to make a delicious meal and submit it to the Stalys Guild Federation for review."

"This is easy to do, just grab a few heads and let Yujiali cook them." Konya muttered quietly, "Let's look at the next one." ”

"In the forest of the West Vigil grows a plant called 'Water Source Grass', about twenty or thirty centimeters tall, with flattened, triangular leaves, green with light yellow or light blue spots. This is shown in the figure below...... Well, that's what it looks like...... Use a dispel or purification spell to remove the magic effect applied on it, and a water elemental will be born to protect the plant, note that this water elemental is extremely aggressive. After destroying the Water Elemental, the Water Source Grass will absorb the essence of the Water Elemental and bloom into the 'Water Source Flower', as shown in the image below. Collect at least one Flower of Water and send it to the Starlis Guild Federation for review. Note that the Water Flower lasts up to six hours from bloom to wilting, so please make sure to submit it to the Guild Alliance while the Water Flower is in full bloom."

"There shouldn't be any problem with this, the purification spell Yujali will." Konya continued to mutter, "Huh? What is it? Cornia saw something like an envelope behind the third assignment letter.

"For the assessment mission, please forward this letter to a warlock named Lin Jing who lives in seclusion in the East Vigil Forest, and bring his reply to the Stalys Guild Alliance for review."

"Huh? Without? "It was only written that this person was in the East Vigil Forest, and I didn't say where he was or what he looked like, so how can I find it?" ”

At this time, Yugari and the others just walked out of the next room.

"How is it, has the assessment commission been drawn?" Eugari walked over and asked.

"Well, I've seen it all, it's not a big deal, it's just some ordinary little things, it shouldn't take much effort." Conya handed the drawn letter of entrustment to Yujali, "How are you guys doing over there, it's all done?" ”

Yugari took the letter of entrustment from Conya, "yes, everything is done. Yugari continued, "Shanna-sama and Sister Kailin are planning to go back to the service station to report the situation here to Sheehan-sama, so let's take care of the assessment commission, right?" ”

"Well, no problem." Konya replied confidently, "Well, then, Shanna-sama will go all the way." ”

After sending Shanna and Kailin away, Eugarie and Conya continued to sit down and discuss the commission.

Yugari first carefully read all the three assessment commissions, and then suggested to Conya, "Two of these three commissions are in the East Vigil Forest, and the other is in the West Vigil Forest, let's go our separate ways, and then gather outside the south gate of the city in the evening." ”

"Huh?" Konya asked, a little uneasy, "Why don't you do it together?" I've heard that there are a lot of dangerous species in the Vigil Forest, don't you care......"

"I think it should be fine, I took a look at the commissions, most of them are tasks at the edge of the forest, and besides, as an entry-level assessment commission for the guild, it shouldn't be too dangerous. Besides, we will definitely do it faster in a split up, and I think it's better to try to complete these commissions today, and I hope we can become an official guild today, and don't delay it until tomorrow. You tell me? Eugari explained.

"Well......" Conya thought for a moment, thinking that what Yugari said made sense, and felt that she couldn't convince her, so she reluctantly agreed, "Okay, but I'm going to do the two missions in the east, and Yujali is in charge of the one to the west." ”

"Alright," said Eugaria, cheerfully agreeing to Conya's offer, "then let's leave now, and we'll see you outside the south gate in the evening." ”

"Well, don't be too reluctant, run away if you're in danger." Conya instructed Yugari.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Yugari laughed.

Afterwards, Eugarie and Cornia left the guild hall together, because Cornia said that there were still some things to deal with, so Euglia went to the south gate alone.

Eugari exited the south gate of Starlis, turned west along the boulevard leading to the south, and entered the Forest of the Western Vigil. Upon entering the forest, Yugari was immediately fully armed, holding the Staff of Chaos Necromancy Prayer, wearing an orange and yellow "Ella's Soaring Headband", wearing a red and white "Pseudo-Vulcan Burning Robe", and a black "Dark Purification Boots" on her feet, as well as equipping all the special effect badges. Then, step by step, he walked along the rugged path that had been stepped on by his predecessors, constantly walking into the depths of the forest, keeping his eyes on the movements around him.

It is a vast forest, and although it is extremely rich in natural resources such as vegetation and minerals, it is always out of the reach of humans due to the presence of many extremely dangerous species, and only the brave adventurers occasionally come here to collect valuable materials.

The deeper you go into the forest, the darker the light becomes, and the quieter the environment becomes, with towering trees and intertwined vine branches as far as the eye can see, and the occasional strange cry coming from the depths of the woods, making the already dead silence of the forest seem deeper and more unsettling to those who enter it.

As she kept an eye on her surroundings, she kept walking along the winding path, occasionally stopping to take a closer look at the plants on the side of the road, earnestly searching for traces of the grass in the water source.

"It's strange, I've been walking for so long, and I haven't seen a plant that looks the same as the one on the commission. Is there a problem with the direction you are going? Ugari muttered to herself, confused, "Let's take a look again." And so, as she walked westward, she suddenly saw something that looked like a building in the distant depths of the woods. So, she walked over slowly.

It is a wall about four or five meters high, which has been covered with a large amount of moss and vines, and has been dilapidated in many places, judging by the craftsmanship that remains on it, it should have been a rather magnificent building at one time.

"I guess it's been abandoned for a long time." Yugari whispered. At this time, Yugari thought that she had just received a manual on introducing Staris and its surroundings when she registered with the Guild Alliance, so she immediately took it out of the magical space.

"About the presentation here...... Let me find out. Eugari immediately opened the manual and searched carefully.

"There you have, here." Yujiali pointed to the manual and read, "The ruins of Gou Fugui Manor? ”

"Strange name." Yugari tilted her head unconsciously.

"Introduction. The ruins of Gou Fugui Manor, located in the northern part of the West Vigil Forest, are a vast and luxurious manor built by a new nobleman named Gou Fugui of Staris. Covering an area of almost one million square meters, it is the largest private estate in the history of Starlis. But after the manor was built, in less than a few years, the Gou Fugui family declined rapidly, and the manor became increasingly deserted. Later, the manor was overrun by goblins in the Forest of the Western Vigil, which continues to this day. ”

"I see." "The manor is divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the inner city is now occupied by elite goblins, who are well-trained, well-equipped upper-class goblins with a lot of resources. These range from goblin giants with strong physiques to goblin shamans with a variety of magical skills. The combat power is much stronger than the average goblin, and it is also more dangerous, so adventurers are advised to stay away from this area as much as possible. Due to the severe damage in the outer city, there are generally no upper goblins living in the city, and the city is usually home to many goblin wanderers who are rejected by the mainstream goblin society, but occasionally elite goblins from the inner city patrol here, so it is also a dangerous place. Adventurers are advised to be cautious. ”

After reading the introduction, Yugari slowly closed the manual and muttered, "If it's just a goblin, I don't think it's a big problem." After that, she stood at the fence and hesitated for a moment, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

So Eugari climbed into a collapsed spot at the far end of the wall, carefully moving slowly forward along the inside of the wall. Yugari's gaze kept scanning the surroundings. In addition to the broken bricks and gravel everywhere, you can occasionally see some daily garbage discarded on the side of the road, and sometimes you can even see the remains of some animals. Suddenly, Yugari felt as if something was watching her behind her. So, she turned her head sharply, only to see a particularly large gray-black wolf, not far away, baring its fangs, bowing its body, staring at her motionlessly. Eugari had seen it in books before, a creature known as the Goblin Black Wolf. It is a branch of the wolf clan that has long been domesticated and bred by goblins to assist them in capturing prey, guarding their homes, and even acting as goblin mounts.

"Since there is a Goblin Black Wolf here, it means that there should be an upper-level Goblin Elite in the vicinity. After all, the one who can raise a goblin black wolf should not be a low-level goblin wanderer." Thinking of this, Yujali held her breath and paid full attention to the movements around her.

Yugari seemed to faintly hear the sound of a fight coming from behind a building in the distance.

"I guess the Goblin Rangers from the Inner City are fighting someone over there. Okay, let's get rid of the trouble here as soon as possible, and let's go over and have a look." Thinking of this, Yugari raised her staff and chanted a spell at the goblin wolf.

At this moment, the goblin black wolf, who had been staring at Yugari motionlessly, suddenly jumped over, shortened the distance between it and Yugari as fast as he could, and at the same time opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and biting towards Yugari's throat.

Seeing this, Yugari immediately stopped chanting and quickly dodged sideways, while raising the staff in her hand and smashing it into the back of the goblin black wolf. After the goblin wolf pounced into the air, he felt an object coming at him behind him, and immediately leaned down and swooped forward several meters with force, and then quickly turned around and headed towards Yujari again.

Yugari adjusted her center of gravity at this point, and immediately cast the "Divine Double Light Shield" in front of her, and continued to chant the spell she had just played.

The Goblin Black Wolf lunged at Eugari again, but slammed into the shield of the Radiant Shield and was bounced out. "Divine Flame." Immediately after the chant ended, Yugari cast a spell. It is an offensive magic that combines the attributes of both Hallow and Fire, and deals even more damage to dark creatures and beasts.

With the casting of Eugari's spell, the goblin black wolf's body immediately ignited with a yellow-white sacred flame, and the goblin black wolf immediately fell to the ground struggling and twitching in pain, but it did not die immediately because of this, but used its last strength to slam into Eugari with the raging fire burning on its body. With the disappearance of the second sacred barrier, the Goblin Black Wolf fell heavily to the ground, and finally lay there motionless.

Yugari was not in the mood to clean up the battlefield here at this time, but turned around and ran quickly towards the place where the sound of fighting had just been heard.

Bypassing the shattered buildings in front of her, Yugari immediately saw a group of teenagers fighting the goblins not far away.

At this time, they were surrounded by more than a dozen goblins, shrinking into a horseshoe-shaped formation, and the innermost part of the crowd could see that someone had fallen injured, and a girl with a blue single ponytail was anxiously treating a bloodied teenager.

"Twitter!" With a strange cry in the distance, a flaming tongue of fire bent towards the crowd, and it bypassed the slightly burly boy at the front of the group, and pierced directly at the girl with a single blue ponytail. The girl didn't have time to react, and with a scream and burning flames, she was thrown out of the crowd and fell towards Yugari's side.

"Divine Mana Shield." Yugari immediately cast a spell, and a faint blue light suddenly flashed around the girl. Yujiali took advantage of the situation to catch the girl with both hands, knelt on one knee, and supported the girl's body. At this time, the burning flame of the girl's body was long gone.

Yugari looked at the girl, only to see a blood-red scar on her delicate face, and her slender eyes were tightly closed. "I guess the impact of the flames just now made her faint." Thinking so, Yugari took the opportunity to lay the girl flat on the ground, "Divine Restoration." As she spoke, Yugari pointed her staff at the girl, and the burns on the girl's face began to heal, and her expression seemed less painful.

After dealing with the girl's injuries, Yugari stood up, and at this time, she noticed that the eyes of everyone present, whether it was the goblin or the group of teenagers, were focused on her. Even the goblin that had cast the fire spell in the distance just now was trying to bypass the boy's team and head towards her.

Eugari immediately placed her staff across her side, took a battle stance, and stared intently at the goblin that was walking towards her.

In terms of stature, this goblin is not much different from other goblins, they are all thin and withered bodies, more than half a human tall, but they are more neat and bright than ordinary goblins in their clothes, and they also hold a bright yellow metal staff in their left hand, and the head of the staff is inlaid with a blue gem, emitting a soft blue light. There were also several strong goblin wolves roaming around it.

"This is probably the Goblin Patrol mentioned in the Starlis Handbook. Look at the outfit...... I guess it's a shaman.'" Yugari guessed.

The two sides confronted each other for a few seconds, "Since there are people injured over there, it's better not to delay." Thinking of this, Yujiali whispered: "Capture the thief and capture the king first!" Then, she immediately ran in the direction of the goblin shaman. As she passed by the group of teenagers, she shouted to the group, "Help me keep those puppies in check." ”

At this time, several goblin black wolves that had been hovering around the goblin shaman also immediately pounced on Yugari. Eugari immediately bent to dodge the attack of the first Goblin Wolf, and used her staff to bounce the second Goblin Wolf in the direction of the young team, and cast a shield of light before the third Goblin Wolf pounced, blocking its impact. At this moment, with a strange cry in front of him, a fiery tongue of fire rushed towards Yugari. "Divine Mana Shield." As soon as Yugari finished speaking, her body was quickly surrounded by a raging flame, but as the flames gradually extinguished, Yugari did not seem to be harmed in the slightest. The Goblin Shaman was taken aback. At this time, the distance between Yujali and it was already close at hand. With her hands in her hands, she swept across the goblin shaman's body, but the goblin shaman was unable to dodge and was knocked out of the way, crashing into a broken pillar behind him. However, the Goblin Shaman was not mortally wounded by this, and immediately struggled to his feet.

"Huh? Can you withstand the full force of this staff?' Yugari was a little surprised, because she thought that with the weak physique of a goblin, she should not be able to withstand the full force of this epic staff.

"Damage reduction?" Or absorbing spells?' Yugari pondered, "Still, looking at the way it barely stands, it must have been hurt a lot. As a shaman, it shouldn't be enough to reduce its damage to this point with its apparent equipment level, if it's reduced by spells, then it shouldn't be able to be cast again for a certain period of time, and if it's absorbed through spells, then it should have consumed most of its mana. In either case, it shouldn't be able to withstand my next wave of attacks."

Thinking of this, Yujiali strengthened her confidence in victory. But she still paid very careful attention to the movements of the goblin wolves that pounced on her just now.

Sure enough, one of the goblin wolves had already turned and jumped towards her. Yugari dodged sideways, then pointed her staff at its back, ready to chant her spell. At this moment, a black goblin wolf hiding in the blind corner of Yugari's field of vision rushed over, and Yugari was caught off guard, and several shallow bruises were scratched on her right arm.

"Four?!" Yujali was a little surprised, "How is that possible? Was it hiding there from the beginning?' Yugari thought about it, and at the same time, she saw that the goblin shaman had already picked up the staff it had just dropped, and stood tremblingly beside the goblin black wolf that had just scurried past.

"Looks like the injury isn't light." Yugari thought so, and then glanced at the group of teenagers again. At this time, they are being attacked by two other goblin black wolves and a dozen goblin wanderers, and the situation is very bad, and they are in danger of being wiped out at any time.

"Looks like we have to end the battle here as soon as possible, though I don't want to use these spells." Yujiali thought anxiously. By this time, the two goblin wolves had already pounced on Yugari one after another.

"Shadow Dark Flame Blast." As a stream of black flames poured out from the Eugari staff, the Goblin Black Wolf who rushed to the front was surrounded by a cloud of pitch-black flames, and then collapsed to the ground. As Eugari dodged the attack of the second goblin wolf, she calculated its route and struck it out with her staff, and the goblin wolf's head happened to hit a stone horn not far away, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the cracked skull, causing it to lose all its vitality immediately.

At this moment, the goblin shaman in front of him was chirping.

"Shadow and Magical Silence." As Yugari's voice landed, the Goblin Shaman immediately stopped screaming, and the surging fire on the staff in his hand disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Yugari pointed her staff at the goblin shaman and began to chant a spell, and the goblin shaman immediately turned around and prepared to escape, and before he could take a step away, Yugari's voice sounded behind him, "Divine Light Strike." A divine energy immediately pierced the goblin shaman's body, and it immediately fell to the ground, lying there motionless.

Yugari didn't have time to confirm the situation here, so she turned to support the teenager behind her.

At this time, two goblin black wolves were attacking the young man's team from head to tail, and a dozen or so goblin wanderers were also constantly looking for opportunities on the periphery, trying to break up the crumbling formation.

"You've got to find a way to attract most of the enemies here." Thinking of this, Yugari began to chant the spell, "Divine Sacred Barrier". In an instant, a barrier with a faint yellowish-white glow enveloped the young team, and the Goblin Black Wolf and Goblin Ranger were immediately ejected from the group. However, they immediately got up, noticed the situation on Eugari's side, and turned and ran towards her.

"Pin down the goblins in the back!" Eugari shouted at the team.

Hearing Eugari's shout, a gray-brown arrow flew out of the group and sped past the ear of a goblin, who immediately turned around and ran back angrily. At this moment, a magic missile also rushed out of the team, knocking down a goblin that was running towards Eugari, and the goblin immediately struggled to his feet, and ran to the boy's team again with several goblins in anger.

At this time, a black goblin wolf running at the front had already arrived in front of Yugari, and Yugari unhurriedly cast the spell that had already been chanted, "Holy Flame". With a surge of divine energy on the staff, the goblin black wolf was immediately surrounded by a raging cloud of yellow-white flames, fell to the ground, and after a brief struggle and convulsions, lay motionless on the ground. When the goblins who rushed up saw this scene, they immediately slowed down, and some simply froze in place, looking hesitant, as if they were considering whether to continue the fight or turn and run away. Just then, another goblin wolf had already caught up, and when it was still a few meters away from Yugari, it leaped to its feet and pounced on Yugari's face. Instead of dodging, she raised her staff and threw it with all her might. The moment the goblin wolf slammed into the barrier in front of Eugari, the heavy staff whistled and smashed into its forehead. With a loud thud, the goblin black wolf immediately collapsed to the ground, losing all its vitality.

This scene once again brought a huge shock to the goblins who were hesitating, most of the goblins had begun to scatter and flee when they saw this, only a few goblins were still holding crude weapons and rushed up angrily.

Yugari knew that these low-level goblin wanderers were basically a group that couldn't use any magic skills and their weapons and equipment were very broken. Therefore, she immediately cast a "Divine Mana Shield" on herself, and then rushed forward with her staff in hand, engaging in a white-knuckle battle with the few remaining goblins.

In a short time, several goblins that rushed up were knocked to the ground by Yugari one after another, and they stopped moving. Without delay, Yugari immediately turned to the junior team and cleanly knocked out several goblins that were entangled with the team, ending the battle.

Looking at the corpses on the ground around them, and the goblins fleeing in the distance, the teenagers calmed down.

"Thank you very much!" A teenager with short dark brown hair and medium stature limped in front of Yujiali with the help of his teammates. The young man was dressed in a brown shirt, with a few tattered light armor sporadically, and there were still lines of blood flowing on his immature face, and there were many injuries on his body, and his expression was very painful. Most of his teammates behind him did the same. Two people in the crowd had already passed out, and the others sat around them tiredly, anxiously wiping their wounds. The blue single-ponytail girl who had passed out just now had already woken up at this time, and was kneeling in the crowd, unable to cast a healing spell on the two people lying on the ground.

"It's okay, please don't take it personally." Yugari waved her hand and said, "Let's take a look at everyone's injuries first, shall we?" ”

"Hmm......" the boy nodded sadly.

Yugari came to the crowd and carefully checked everyone's condition. Although some of them were seriously injured, they were mostly outward bleeding, and no signs of poisoning or other magical effects were found. So, Yugari stood up, raised her staff, and chanted, "Divine Healing Light", and with that, a divine aura immediately appeared under the feet of the crowd, and everyone was surrounded by a holy soft light, whether it was a bleeding wound or a bruised skin, they gradually returned to a healthy state. Of course, the two people who were unconscious did not wake up immediately.

Seeing this scene, everyone was very surprised and very happy, and there was a joy of escaping death.

Yugari continued, "Let's lie down here for a while, I guess you'll wake up in a while." Let's hurry up and clear the battlefield, and then get out of here. Otherwise, the goblins that ran away after a long time might come back. ”

After hearing Yujiali's words, everyone didn't have time to thank her, and they all nodded in agreement, so everyone stood up and began to clean up the nearby battlefield.

Yugari went over to the Goblin Shaman and picked up the staff that had fallen beside her, "Ability and Item Identification," Yugari whispered.

"Huh? It turned out to be a healing staff. Yugari was a little surprised, and said, "Let me see." Well...... "Goblin Powerful Shield Staff". Huh? It's still an "excellent level" weapon, and it's really rare for a goblin here to have such a weapon. Special effects...... Sometimes it applies a magic shield to the target you heal, absorbing a small amount of damage. …… Well, it seems to be quite practical...... What about occupational restrictions? Sure enough, it can only be used by professions that can master sacred spells. Also, you can't ask too much for a good-tier weapon. With that, Yugari turned around and walked to another place, continuing to clear the battlefield.

After a while, everyone cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the place just now.

"It's the loot we've cleaned up." The short-haired brown boy said as he held some of the worn-out weapons he had captured from the goblins, and the rest of his teammates behind him were holding some rudimentary weapons and equipment that had just been cleaned up.

"Huh?" Yujiali didn't react for a while, and then asked suspiciously, "Give ...... Me? ”

"Of course," said the boy affirmed, "this is your spoils, and not only that, but if it weren't for you, we would have been wiped out here." The teammates in the back also nodded in agreement.

"Ah, no, this ......" Yugari waved her hands in embarrassment, thinking about how to refuse.

At this time, Yujiali saw that the two teenagers who had been in a coma woke up, so she quickly took the opportunity to change the topic, "Ah, you guys woke up, it doesn't matter, right?" Yugari quickly stepped forward and asked a young man with short light brown hair.

At this time, the others also hurriedly gathered around, asked questions with concern, and explained to them what happened next. After listening to the introduction of their teammates, the two teenagers also expressed their gratitude to Youjiali.

"Don't do that, there's nothing." Yugari replied embarrassedly, "Let's hurry up and get out of here first." ”

"Well, that's fine." The short-haired young man nodded seriously, and then hurriedly beckoned everyone to tidy up their clothes, bring their own equipment and captured supplies, and follow Yujiali to the outside of the manor.

"I just came to thank you, and I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Lei Luo. The short-haired boy introduced himself to Yugari.

"My name is Eugari, and I've just arrived in Starlis, and I'm a priest." Eugari replied.

"That's right. This is Li Gu, the strongest guy on our team, a warrior. Lei Luo said as he pulled a tall boy behind him.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Li Gu greeted Youjiali very honestly.

"Hello." Yugari replied with a smile.

The boy was more than a head taller than Eugari and much more burly than her average peers. With a square face, short black hair, and slightly drooping eyes, it looks like a simple and honest feeling. Yugari noticed that although he was a warrior, he had only some thin armor, basically no special armor, and his thick arms were covered in scars.

Youjiali was about to ask him something, when Lei Luo turned to the girl with black braids next to Li Gu and introduced, "She is Qiu Aiqin, the hunter in charge of reconnaissance in our team. ”

"Just call me Aigean." The braided girl stretched out her hand and greeted Yugari.

"Hello." Yugari shook her hand and asked, "Huh?" I don't think I saw your battle pet? ”

"Huh? What is that? Qiu Aiqin tilted her head, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Youjiali seriously.

"Huh?" Yugari felt a little incredulous.

"Strange ......" Yugari wondered, "Did I hear it wrong?" Will there be hunters who don't know how to fight pets? Also, as a warrior, his equipment is too thin...... "Thinking of this, Yugari glanced at Li Gu's dress again, "Moreover, the battle just now is the same, even in the case of only facing a few weak goblin wanderers, the team is at an absolute disadvantage, it shouldn't be like this."

"How about we go there and rest for a while?" At this time, Lei Luo pointed to a clearing in the forest in front of him and suggested to Yugari.

"Well," replied Eugari, "it's a little distance from the manor, so I don't think it's too much of a problem." ”

So, everyone went to the open space, put down their equipment and luggage, and each found some roots or stones and sat down.

"You just said battle pets, what's that?" Qiu Aiqin continued to ask Youjiali.

"Huh? What's this...... How can I say it? Yujiali thought for a moment, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "You see, after we plan to become adventurers, we will all choose the profession we like, and then report to the relevant career mentors of the Guild Alliance, right?" Mentors will pass on the knowledge and skills to us, and then there will be regular mentoring and training, right? In that case......

"Not really." A diminutive boy with a black hedgehog head interrupted Yugari sitting in the corner, "That's what only rich people can do, and those of us from the slums can only report the word, and after the free training, it's over." I can't learn anything else, I just rely on eavesdropping......"

"Andy!" Lei Luo immediately stopped the Kuroko hedgehog-headed boy from speaking.

"It was supposed to be ......," the black-hedgehog-headed boy muttered unconvinced, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

At this time, Yujiali saw that everyone else also turned their eyes away, bowed their heads with a gloomy expression, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became quiet.

After a few seconds, Relo explained, "That's right. Most of us grew up at the Starlis Charity Orphanage, and recently left the orphanage to live in the northeast corner of Starlis. ”

Hearing this, Yugari immediately understood, Ryan had told her that although Starlis was the largest city in the southern part of the adventurer's kingdom, there was a slum that no one cared about even in such a bustling and wealthy city. It was in the northeast corner of Starlis, where homeless and penniless people from all over the world gathered, from abandoned old people, orphans, destitute adventurers, and many, many people who were frustrated in every way and lived in extreme poverty. In this notoriously filthy and chaotic northeastern corner, where people die of hunger every day and leave because of their injuries and illnesses that cannot be cured, it is a place abandoned and forgotten by society.

"In order to be able to live, I want to become an adventurer, complete the commission, get paid, and exchange it for food." Lei Luo smiled bitterly, "We used all the money we saved to register the guild before, so we basically don't have the money to do anything else. ”

Lei Luo's tone gradually became a little frustrated, "But we haven't completed the guild's assessment commission, and we met a huge goblin when we were in the Falling Star Lake yesterday, and a partner ...... it" Lei Luo choked up for a while, and continued, "It's the same today, if I hadn't met you,......" Lei Luo didn't say any more.

"Oh, no...... The ......" Yugari didn't know what to say for a while.

After a moment of silence, Eugari comforted, "It's okay, it's going to get better." Everyone performed very well in today's battle, and if you continue to do so, you will soon be able to complete the assessment commission, and when the time comes, you will become an official guild, and your life will definitely be better. You see, aren't we just going home with a full load today? Moreover, my friends and I have just set up a service station called Journey in Starlis, where you can go and find me no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, just near the South Gate. ”

"Thank you for comforting us." Raylo wiped his reddened eyes and squeezed out a forced smile at Eugari.

"I haven't finished introducing you yet," Lei Luo stood up and changed the subject, trying to change the gloomy atmosphere of the group.

He walked up to the young man with the hedgehog head, pressed his hair and said, "This is Andy." The assault man of our team is relatively straightforward and often speaks without brains, but in fact, he is a very good person and often stands in front of us when there is danger. ”

"Hmph." Hearing this, the young man with the hedgehog head turned his head away in embarrassment.

"Please advise." Eugari nodded at him.

"......" Andy still didn't look at Yujiali, just silently lowered his head and didn't speak.

"You guy." Lei Luo laughed and deliberately pressed Andy's head.

"Sitting next to him is Gao Ming, the smartest fellow among us, who helps us every time, and is a warlock."

"Where, just to help collect and analyze the data." The young man with short light brown hair next to Andy said modestly.

Then Relo turned to the blue girl with a single ponytail, and the girl immediately stood up, "This is Moli, the only healing class on our team, and the most experienced teammate among us adventurers. is a pastor. ”

"Hello, thank you for saving me just now." Moli smiled and nodded to Yugari in thanks.

"No, you're welcome." Yugari replied embarrassedly.

This is a girl who looks one or two years older than Yujali, with a slender figure, slightly taller than Yujali, with long blue hair, combed back into a high single ponytail, a delicate face, white and tender skin, and upturned eyes, giving people a quiet and sweet impression. She wore a white and blue striped robe, black trousers, and dark brown boots, and was the most neatly equipped of the group.

"That's right." Yugari suddenly remembered the staff she had just recovered, so she immediately took it out and handed it to Merri, "This is the staff dropped by the Goblin Shaman just now, it's a healing staff, you can use it just right." ”

After listening to Yujiali's words, everyone was stunned for a moment. Mo Li immediately refused, "No, no, no, I can't accept this, it's yours, and it's ......"

"It doesn't matter," Yugari interrupted Mo Li's words and explained, "I won't need it anyway, and you, as the only treatment for this team, must be under a lot of pressure, and having this staff can at least improve your strength a little, relieve the pressure on the team, and better protect everyone, isn't it?" ”

Seeing that Mo Li still didn't mean to accept it, Yujiali continued, "Otherwise, I'll lend it to you, and I can return it when you have a weapon that you can replace." You definitely want to improve your strength as soon as possible so that everyone can get better treatment, don't you? ”

Saying this, Yujali looked at Lei Luo, hoping that he could help persuade Mo Li.

But at this time, Lei Luo seemed to be in a difficult situation, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Yugari shoved the staff into Mo Li's hand and said, "That's it." ”

"Ah, no......" Mo Li was about to refuse.

Yujiali immediately walked in front of the girl who had not yet arrived and introduced Lei Luo, and wanted to divert the topic, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Well," replied the girl shyly, standing up at once, "my name is Angel, and I am a mage. The more the girl spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she seemed to be very shy, "That, thank you." ”

"Ah, you're welcome." Yugari smiled a little embarrassedly, "So you must have been the one who hit the goblin with a magic missile before, you are quite accurate, and you will definitely be able to become a very good mage in the future." ”

"No, no. It's just that...... Occasionally......" Angel lowered her head embarrassedly and muttered.

At this time, Lei Luo came over and was about to speak to Yujiali, who immediately preemptively said, "It's almost time for us to get out of here, after all, this place is not very far from the manor, so it's better not to stay too long." ”

"But, the ......," Relo stammered to say something.

"Alright, let's go, or the goblins will be rushing over in a while." Yugari pretended to be impatient and urged.

Lei Luo couldn't resist Yujali, so he had to beckon everyone to pick up their luggage and follow Yujali.

"Anyway, Eugari," Ray Luo asked Eugarie as she walked, "what are you doing here?" Is it also a delegated task? ”

"Hmm...... Sort of," replied Yugari, "Actually, we have just registered as a guild, and one of the assessment commissions we got was to come here to find a plant. And then...... I happened to pass by this manor, and I was curious for a moment, so I walked in. ”

"So, what kind of plant is it?" Lei Luo asked curiously.

"This ...... No ...... have been found. Yugari smiled awkwardly.

"Do you know what it looks like? Maybe we've seen it, but even if we haven't, it's definitely faster for all of us to look for it together than for you to find it yourself, right? ”

"Huh? How embarrassing is that......

"It's okay, it's okay. You've helped us so much, so let's help you. ”

"That's right, you're welcome."

"yes, yes."

Everyone, you and I said it one by one.

Yugari felt that she couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.

"By the way, what does that plant look like?" Li Gu asked Yujiali.

"Well, well, wait a minute." As she spoke, Yugari took out Staris's instruction manual from the magical space, flipped to the section on the introduction of the water source grass, and showed it to everyone.

So everyone immediately gathered around and looked at it carefully.

"I've seen this grass before!" Qiu Aiqin pointed to the picture on the manual and immediately exclaimed.

"Really? That's great. Eugari happily responded.

"Well, let me think about it." Qiu Aiqin frowned, held her chin and thought for a while, "I remember...... It should be on the north side of the estate. She turned her head to Lei Luo and said with a wicked smile, "That's where Andy stepped on the when we came!" ”

"Huh? ……”

"Ah, that's when Andy ......"

"Shut up!"

Everyone was cheerfully noisy for a while, sweeping away the heavy atmosphere before. Then, start walking towards the north side of the estate.

Led by Lei Luo and the others, Yugari quickly made her way to the north of the manor and found the plant called the Water Source Grass.

"Well, that's right, it's exactly like the one on the book." Yujali happily affirmed.

Then, Yugari looked at the water source grass and was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.

"What's wrong? Any questions? Lei Luo asked when he saw Yugari in deep thought.

"Huh?" Yujiali's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and she hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm thinking, the introduction said that when this plant is collected, there will be monsters, can you help me destroy it together?" ”

"That's for sure." Relo replied without thinking, "Yes, everyone. Relo looked around at the others.

"Hmmm! That's right. The others replied in unison.

"Then I'll thank you all in advance." After saying that, Yugari took out Starlis's manual again, flipped to the water source grass, and explained as she showed it to everyone, "That's right. In a moment, I will use a spell to purify that plant first, but before that," Yugari looked at Li Gu, "Li Gu, you stand on the side of the plant as a warrior first, and after my purification is completed, a water elemental will appear, and you must be prepared to attack it as soon as possible." ”

"Okay." Li Gu replied calmly.

"Well," Yugari looked at Relo and Andy, "you two stand across from Rigu in a moment, ready to attack your target from behind. ”

"Well, no problem." Relo responded.

"It's good that the others are standing with me."

They also nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"I'll tell you a little bit about this monster. You must listen carefully. Eugari said.

At this time, everyone gathered more closely, and everyone came together.

"According to the manual, this is a water element, so its attack methods are basically based on frost-type spells. Physical attacks should not do much damage to the Warrior class. Usually dealing with this kind of target, as long as you keep interfering with its chanting around it, you won't let it pose too much of a threat to the team. Yugari looked at Ligu, Relo, and Andy at this time.

"Understood, we'll take care of this." Relo responded.

At this point, Yugari continued, adding, "Actually, the same is true for most spellcasting classes. For example, if you don't consider other factors, as long as you get close to him and try not to give him time to chant spells, you can have a great advantage. When you don't have overwhelming strength, try not to let your ranged classes such as mages and hunters engage in offensive battles with it, because this is a great threat to both sides, and I think you should consider the safety of your teammates first, so you should try to avoid this type of fighting. ”

At this time, Yujiali was happy to find that Lei Luo had taken out a small notebook and was recording it quickly.

"For targets with frost attributes, try to avoid using frost-type attack skills, and the same goes for other monsters, try to avoid attacking them with skills of the same attribute, because generally this kind of monster has a high resistance to this type of attribute."

"I see." Lei Luo nodded.

"Okay, that's all for now." Yugari clapped her hands and said, "Let's take our places, don't be nervous, we'll have no problem at all." ”

So, everyone stood in their own places. Yugari raised her staff and chanted to the water weed, "Divine Dispel". As a layer of divine light flashed on the water source grass, a one-man tall azure figure-like water element appeared in front of everyone. Just as they were stunned by this, Yujiali shouted, "Li Gu! ”

Hearing Youjiali's shout, Li Gu immediately reacted, raised the machete in his hand and slashed down at the water element.

The water elemental who was attacked immediately raised his left arm, and there was a faint blue glow on it.

"Relo, Andy, watch out for interference." Eugari shouted.

"Understood!"

"The others are attacking the water elemental with all their might."

"Understood."

"Roger!"

"Mo Li, pay attention to Li Gu's state, if it is frozen, immediately disperse it."

"Yes."

In this way, under the command of Yujiali, it didn't take long for everyone to successfully destroy the water element.

As the water elemental vanished, a small bright yellow flower appeared in the center of the water source grass.

Yugari immediately walked over, compared it with the manual, and put it into the magical space after confirming that it was correct.

At this time, everyone's faces were full of joy of victory.

"These people are actually very good at comprehension, talented, and hardworking. If you can receive formal training and guidance, or have some decent basic equipment, you should be able to grow into a very good adventure team. But if you don't know a lot of basic things like you did before, and you don't have a certain amount of equipment to support you, and you only risk your own life to explore and grow, how far can you go?" Yugari thought silently.

"Well, thank you very much. My assessment commission has been successfully completed! Yujiali said happily, "By the way, how is your assessment commission?" Is there anything else you need my help with, don't be polite. ”

"No, I don't. When I killed the goblin in the manor, I had already completed the last assessment commission. Lei Luo also replied happily.

"That's great." Yugari looked at the sky at this time and continued, "It's not too early, in that case, I should go back, and there are friends waiting for me elsewhere, I have to go first, I'm very sorry." ”

"You're welcome, thanks to your help, not only saved us, but also taught us a lot of things, thank you very much." Lei Luo said.

"It's nothing. You must be careful when you take risks in the future. Yugari asked worriedly, but she also knew very well that there were many things she couldn't do anything about.

After saying goodbye, Eugari turned around and walked out of the forest in a bit of a hurry, and she mounted her 'Magic Unicorn' mount and galloped towards the south gate of Starlis.

After Eugari left, Relo and the others packed their belongings and prepared to return to Starlis.

At this time, Mo Li took the staff that Yugari gave her, and stood in place and looked at it carefully.

"What's wrong?" Lei Luo asked, turning around.

At this time, everyone also stopped and came up. "Is there something wrong?"

"Ah, no, nothing," said Murray, "it's just...... When I was fighting the water elemental just now, I noticed that Li Gu sometimes had a magic shield on his body, but I don't remember if I had cast a similar spell, and I didn't notice that others had cast it, so I wondered if it was because of this staff, and I wanted to make sure. ”

"Well, yes. Actually, I'm curious about what special magical effects this staff has. Qiu Aiqin stepped forward and said.

"Ability & Item Identification." After Mo Li activated the skill on the staff, he immediately screamed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Everyone hurriedly asked.

"Well, this is an 'excellent-level' magic weapon!" Mo Li couldn't believe her eyes.

"Ahh No way? Lei Luo said in surprise.

"'Excellent' magic weapons...... "Lei Luo whispered in surprise, "we didn't even have a 'normal' magic weapon before. ”

"It is said that a piece of "excellent-level" magic equipment is worth at least ten gold coins. If it's a particularly good weapon, it can be sold for hundreds of gold coins......" Angel whispered.

"So much?!" Andy shouted in surprise, "Do you want to sell it?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Qiu Aiqin said, "I think it's better to return such a valuable thing to others......"

Everyone just talked about it, and walked slowly in the direction of Starlis.

At this time, it was almost time for the sunset. "I didn't expect it to take so long." Yugari reflected to herself, "Konya must be impatient to wait at the South Gate, I'm sorry."

Jugari thought as she came to the south gate of Starlis.

"Huh?" Yugari circled around the south gate several times, carefully searching every place in the vicinity, but found no trace of Conya.

"No, it won't." Yujali said suspiciously, "Hasn't she come back yet?" Or have you already gone back to the service station? ”

Yugari thought about it for a moment and decided that she might as well wait here until the sunset to talk.

In fact, Yugari is not worried about Conya's safety, because Yugari knows that although Konia may not be a powerful person in the entire Harmonia Castle, Sheen has told her that with Conya's strength, it is enough to deal with most of the existence on the human continent. Yugari was just curious about what had happened to make Konya not come back for so long.

After a while, Yugari finally saw that in the depths of the forest, Knya was galloping towards her 'Black Flame Nightmare'.

"I'm tired of it, this unfortunate entrusted mission." Conya came up to Yujari and grumbled as she dismounted.

Seeing Conya's irritated expression, Yugari immediately beckoned her to sit down at a nearby tree stump.

"Don't worry, speak slowly, let me hear what's going on."

"Phew—" Conya said with a sigh of relief, "what an annoying commission. First of all, I went on this mission to kill the fighting pigs. As she spoke, Conya handed the first instruction to Eugari.

"The task was very simple, I followed the location written above and quickly found a large herd of fighting pigs." With that, Konya immediately took out the corpse of a pit pig from the magical space, "Look, this is it. Konya threw the carcass of the pit pig to the ground.

Yugari was startled by the body that Conia had suddenly removed. It is a large fighting pig that is more than three meters long and nearly two meters high, and its coat is dark and brown, and even if it is lying motionless on the ground now, you can feel its muscles full of strength.

"The commission is to make delicious dishes, and it just so happens that your second profession is a cook, so I have to trouble you to deal with it." Konya said as she looked at Yugari.

"That's, that's true." Eugari said with some embarrassment, "However, I don't have a ...... right now."

"I've got it here." Konya said as she pulled out some cooking tools from the magical space, "Look, it's complete. I went to the grocery store to buy it before. In other words, as a chef, you also need to prepare a set of props. ”

Yugari nodded awkwardly and said, "Then let's talk while we do." With that, Yujali immediately stood up and began to dispose of the carcass of the fighting pig.

"And this." Konya took two more huge fangs from the magical space and held them up in front of Yugari.

"What is this?" Yugari was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"This is the fangs of the leader of the fighting pigs." Konya took a fang in each hand and touched each other, making a loud crashing sound, "Look, it's hard, and it's very durable." So I think I can find someone to process it and see if I can make it into a weapon or something. So just unloaded it. With that, Konya shoved it into Yugari's hand.

As she put her fangs into the magic space, she continued to ask, "Isn't that going well, what's the problem?" ”

"It's the second commission! The second! Konya said angrily.

"Is it difficult?" Yugari asked curiously.

"Look at this," Conya handed the instructions for the second commission to Yugari, "it's not difficult, but ah, how can there be such a commission, nothing is written clearly." You look, and you write a person's name, and ask him to forward a letter. Where is this person, what does he look like, what characteristics he has, what is his origin, where he often goes, and he doesn't say anything, so how can I find it? ”

"I ran almost halfway through the forest at first, and I didn't even see a decent figure. Then I figured it wouldn't be a good idea, so I might as well go find someone and ask, in case someone knew him, or if there were other guilds that had done a similar commission before. So, I went back to the city and asked almost everyone I could, and no one had ever heard of the name, so I was so angry! ”

"I see, it's really difficult, but what about later?" Yugari asked curiously.

"Later, I carefully read the entrustment instructions again to see if there was anything missing." Konya said.

At this time, Yugari glanced at the commission that Konya handed over just now, "It seems that there is no other information." ”

"No," Konya leaned over and pointed to the commission, "Look here." It's written here that he's a warlock. ”

"That's true, but so what?" Eugari asked.

"You think, since he's a warlock like me, he must have a lot in common." Cornia continued, "For example, you can summon and drive demons like me, and you often bring demon minions with you like me. ”

"Bringing demons with you as often as you do?" Yugari squinted at Conya.

"What's wrong?" Konya asked dissatisfied.

"No, it's nothing...... "Yugari continued, "and then what?" ”

"Then I immediately went back to the forest, unleashed the maximum range of demon detection skills, and searched all over the forest." Konya said.

"So you should have found it, right?" Eugari asked.

"Hmm...... There are so many demons in this forest. "It's the horns of the mutated demon in a cave in the middle of the forest. As she spoke, Konya pulled out a pair of gray-white horns from the magical space and placed them in front of Yujari. It's the weapons of the Hellbringers in the Western Valley, and the essence of the Demon Guardians, and the fangs of the Hellhounds in the East, and ......" Conia said as she took the loot out of the magical space and placed it in front of Yujari, almost piling it up into a small mountain.

Yugari stopped awkwardly, "Okay, don't say them one by one. ”

"Whew-", Conya let out another long breath, "and then, I still haven't found it, and I don't know why." ”

Konya paused for a moment and continued, "However, as I was walking back in disappointment, I noticed a faint signal in the demon's detection range, which should be a weak demon that had just died. So, I ran towards the place where the faint signal was emitted. ”

"It was at the foot of a mountain on the west side of the forest," Conya recalled, curling her hair, and there was a very inconspicuous hut in the swampy mire on all sides. But when I entered, there was no one, so I searched the house carefully, and found a diary on a stone bench in the corner, in which I wrote down my master's recent experiences, the experiments he had done every day, and the places he had visited. So, I followed what was written and went to the places he had been recently. Finally, I met her at the mouth of a cave with a horn. ”

"It's a woman with hair the same color as me, but combed back like this." With that, Konya stood up, pulled her hair back, and gestured.

"Almost twenty years old, tall and thin, a head taller than me."

"Didn't you ask her what she was doing there?" Eugari asked.

"Of course you asked, you can listen to me first." "After I met her, I confirmed that she was the one named Lin Jing, and then I handed her the letter, planning to go back to the hut with her to get the letter. On the way back, she gave me this and said that this was a reply. With that, Conya took out a magic space card and showed it to Yugari.

"Huh? What's inside? ”

"I don't know, do you want to take it out and take a look?"

"Forget it." "It's not good to look at other people's privacy. ”

"Then I'll go on," Conya continued, after a pause, "and then I asked her what she was doing here alone?" She didn't tell me either. ”

"So you didn't find out." Yugari said with a deliberate disappointment.

"How is it possible, of course I inquired." Konya replied triumphantly.

"Huh? And then she told you? ”

"Well, I asked her to tell me later."

"Jean? I guess it's some kind of charm or other unorthodox spell, right? Forget it, she doesn't have any ill intentions anyway.'" Jugari was a little embarrassed to think about this.

"She's actually here a few years ago with members of the guild from the capital city of Ailing, to investigate an evil organization called the Apocalypse Revolutionary Army. But during the investigation, they were trapped in one of the Revolutionary Army's labs in the forest, and they were cursed by an infectious magic, and all but her died as they searched for the antidote. ”

"And now that her curse is lifted?"

"It's not completely lifted yet, so she hasn't been able to go back to the city, and she will infect other people."

"Are you alright?" Jujali asked, wide-eyed.

"Of course I'm fine. This low-level shadow magic curse is of course useless to me, who is already the most prominent shadow attribute. "She is now in the forest every day looking for herbs, researching ways to lift the curse, and occasionally corresponds with the guild alliance, in addition to reporting the information from the previous investigation, about finding a way to lift the curse." The antidote researched now can only be effective for people who have just been cursed for no more than a day, and the second time it will be useless, so it is estimated that she will stay there for a long time. I was going to give it to drink, but I almost threw up when I smelled it. ”

At this time, Conya glanced at the food being cooked, and calmly said to Yugali, who was listening to her intently, "If you don't stop, you won't be able to eat." ”

"Huh?" Yugari reacted and immediately turned around and took care of the food she was cooking.

Yugari put the delicious food into the magic space, and Conya packed up the cooking tools at this time. "It's not too early, you can see that the light has already dimmed. Let's talk as we go, shall we? Eugari suggested.

"Well, that's fine." Konya nodded, and as they talked, they walked in the direction of the Stalys Guild Alliance.

"I've got a lot of information about the Apocalypse Revolutionary Army." Konya said seriously, "It seems to be a very large criminal organization. ”

"Huh? I don't think I've heard of it before. ”

"Then I'll tell you more specifics."

"Hmm."

……

Before they knew it, Eugari and Konya had already arrived at the steps of the Guild Alliance.

They walked into the hall of the Guild Alliance, handed over the items needed for the assessment task to the Guild Alliance's auditors, and while waiting for the results of the audit, Conia went to the nearby grocery store to clean up some of the loot that had been seized in the forest.

"Where have you been?" Yujali, who was in her seat and was waiting for the results of the review, saw Conya who had returned.

"I went to the grocery store next door." With that, Conya sat down next to Eugari, "I'm going to clean up some unwanted things." What's wrong? ”

"I thought if we had more partners, we could do something else." Eugari said.

"For example?"

"For example, sell some weapons and equipment, herbal materials or something." Jujari looked at Cornia and said, "After all, we can get a lot of things that are hard for others to access, and instead of selling them to the grocery store, we might as well use them ourselves." ”

"That's right, but it's a pity that there aren't people in this area."

"Well, let's take our time, we'll always come across it." Jugari said confidently.

After the results of the review came out, the Guild Alliance officially recognized the promotion of Yujari's Journey Guild to the official guild of the Adventurer Kingdom, updated their guild information, and issued them with official guild badges. After dealing with all this, Eugari and Conya happily walked towards their home.
