The year of the candle, the thirtieth day of the month of melting snow

The streets of the City Gate District outside the Adventurers' Association were crowded, and the one-star adventurers were informed from early this morning that the mission hall on the first floor of the Guild building would be used to issue a very important emergency mission, and these rookies who did not receive the combat mission qualification were not allowed to enter the hall of the Guild only during this time of day.

Perhaps out of curiosity or something else, they all gathered outside the main entrance of the guild building for a while, and as time went on, they watched as groups of core members of small and medium-sized adventure groups entered the hall one by one as representatives of the team.

The patrol guards in Twilight City also received orders from above early in the morning, and several squadron-sized personnel were dispatched to maintain order. The people of good deeds talked to each other about their conjectures, and had a premonition that something seriously wrong must have gone wrong somewhere under the jurisdiction of the city, otherwise the Adventurers' Guild would never have brought together the core members of the city's major adventure groups at the same time on the same day.

So, what's going on?

People wondered.

With the same question, after hearing the rumors that had been spreading in the slums early in the morning, and receiving a notification letter from the association, the five-member team led by Urs naturally prepared early and walked along the noisy streets of the city gate district into the main entrance of the association building under the gaze of a group of onlookers.

The newly joined orc warrior monk Stone Fist had just completed the official registration of the association a day earlier, and technically speaking, he was a one-star "rookie" - but fortunately, the four-star badge of Gloriden was a perfect pass, and Urs had a good reputation among adventurers in recent days, so the few guards in charge of guarding the main gate of the association let them go without much interrogation of the young team.

The air in the mission hall inside the first floor of the association is impetuous.

Coming down the hallway of the main entrance, Urs found that this limited area was filled with a rare number of his peers he had met in the city in the past - such as the group of people who were now around a few tables on the right side of the hall, and those well-armed fellows belonged to an adventuring party called "Orichales", and the leader of that team was Carlos Loew, a curly-haired man with a bearded face, a specialized mage of the spell school.

and somewhere on the other side of the aisle, a little bit of the head of the shaved side, and he glanced between the crowd of heads at the small halfling leader of another adventure group, Sawyer Boots, a nimble thief, a dagger master who was especially adept at stealth sneak attacks.

And at a table not far from the front desk of the hall, Akalila Linying, the half-elf female ranger leader of the "Hummingbird" group, sat quietly with her compound longbow on her back, as if waiting for someone to announce something extremely important.

For these veteran veterans who are also well-known in Twilight City, Urs has more or less heard of their reputation among adventurers in the half month since he was stationed in the city, and has also met them a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.

After arriving at the front desk of the Guild Hall, he finally met the familiar half-elf head Miss Irina and asked her a few words, and the black-haired young man knew that the urgent mission that the Adventurers Association was about to announce here was issued for all adventurers above the two-star level in the city.

This is also why, many of the core representatives of the more famous adventuring groups in the city were summoned here for a while, and even the elven swordsman Draco Barton stood beside Irina with the hilt of the mage sword called the Philosophical Blade on his waist, which played a role in calming the atmosphere of the audience.

After getting some superficial information about the incident from Irina's mouth, Miss Uls, the head of the association, told Urs with a serious face, "The details of this urgent mission will not be announced until all the large groups in the city have arrived", warning him not to mess around this time no matter what, and then arranged for the team of five to find a log table in the hall under the guidance of a member of the association, and a few chairs around it to sit down first.

Suddenly, the main entrance of the hall was pulled open by the guards outside the door again, and a middle-aged male mage in a blue robe walked through the street outside.

"It's Ted Hearst." Among the adventurers who were arranged to sit on both sides of the aisle, someone immediately spoke out to identify the blue-robed mage.

"Ted Hirst, the leader of the Oak White Mage's Guild—"

"I didn't expect him to be here besides Mr. Draco."

"What the hell is going on in Twilight?"

The words of speculation were like a tidal wave.

However, except for Draco and Irina, who knew it well, and Urs, who had memories of his previous life, I am afraid that no one knew that the blue-robed mage leader was actually a spirit sucker who used transformation spells to disguise himself as a human.

Ted's presence sparked a new round of discussion among the adventurers.

However, everyone will have to wait for an adventure party to appear before they can find out what the emergency mission is from the mouth of the association.

And the team that has not yet arrived is the largest group of "Red Scorpions" in Twilight City today.

After about half an hour later, the core members of the Red Scorpion Adventure Group finally appeared on the stage, and it seemed that the red-headed Dambert's shelf was as arrogant and unsighted as he usually was.

The red scorpion was as big as ever, so much so that some of the adventurers at the scene couldn't help but privately discuss a strange conspiracy theory, saying that their long-term high-profile behavior might be trying to attract the attention of the city lord, but when it came to the meaning of doing so, they couldn't figure out why.

The red-haired Miss Warlock Dorothy walked in the lineup of the Red Scorpion delegation, following behind her father with her navy blue eyes under her forehead hair slightly lowered, and she also sat down one after another under the arrangement of the meeting staff.

The veteran players who have been called up are now here.

In the noisy hall, Tyde, the blue-robed leader of the Oak White Mage, exchanged glances with Draco, the elven swordsman in the front desk, and Miss Irina, the person in charge, before turning around and raising the staff in his hand and lightly handing it into the air.

On the surface, he obviously didn't perform any spell-casting related words and hand movements, but an invisible big hand seemed to come suddenly, and choked the throats of everyone in the hall in one breath-

Professional Specialty (Mage) - Spell Silent (Expert Level): No verbal component is required when casting 0 Ring Apprentice Spells and 1~6 Ring Formal Spells.

Class Specialty (Mage) - Spell Static (Expert): No pose component is required when casting 0 Ring Apprentice Spells and 1~6 Ring Formal Spells.

Class Specialty (Mage) - Spell Spread (Expert): Doubles the spell's effect range when casting 0 Ring Apprentice Spells and 1~6 Ring Formal Spells, or consumes an additional 1 spell slot to expand a single-target spell to an Area Spell.

Mage 6 Ring Spell - Decree of Silence (Confusion): Enacts a powerful magic spell to control the target creature, preventing it from making any noises and removing the vocalization effects from its body.

There was silence all around, and there was silence for a moment.

The mage president of Oak White used such a simple and crude spell casting method to instantly straighten out the order of the scene, and a few seconds later, he cast another "disenchantment" to restore the mission hall on the first floor of the association, and then transferred the right to speak to Irina, who was the head of the association.

Everyone came back to their senses from the forced silence just now, and the gaze in their eyes suddenly swept towards the half-elf head lady who was standing behind the front desk in the hall.

Blinking her emerald green eyes, Irina pressed the table in front of her a little nervously, took a deep breath to adjust the frequency of her heartbeat and cleared her throat, and then took out the official majesty of the association and calmly announced: "Everyone here, about the details of this urgent mission, please listen carefully——"
