Things weren't as bad as Link thought.

After breakfast early in the morning, he said goodbye to the other heroes and walked into the Emerald City with only Alice.

The Emerald City was noisy, and the guards guarding the gate were more serious, and the search was much stricter than before.

Wearing a viscount's sword, Link's status as a nobleman would have been spared these additional searches, and he easily led Alice into the city gates.

Outside the gate of the Warlord Academy, there are also guards standing here.

When Link came here, he was even questioned twice.

You know, he can be a viscount, but it's still the same, so it seems that the situation here is not optimistic.

However, after identifying himself, someone was notified inside, and an instructor walked out and took Link directly to the dean's room.

In this extremely plain-looking room, Link saw the head of the house, Duncan, again.

"You're welcome back here again."

Duncan's voice was a little quick, "I was very surprised when they told me that you had eliminated thousands of underground werewolves of the official professional rank. ”

Seeing what Link wanted to say, Duncan stretched out his hand to stop him, "I understand, everyone has secrets, I won't ask you to tell this, and I won't go on a side search, I only need to know one thing, do you know anything about the situation in the outer sea?" ”

Link nodded, "Understand." ”

Duncan shook his head: "I'm talking about the open sea now. ”

Link still nodded: "Understand something." ”

At this time, Duncan finally took a little serious, and after he looked at Link carefully, he let out a long sigh, "Sure enough, you can really complete that task." ”

Link smiled, it seemed that Duncan didn't believe that he could really have thousands of full-time professionals to exterminate the underground werewolves, and was worried that it was the person who reported the mission to exaggerate the facts.

But as a result, he only showed that he knew about the current situation in the open sea, so he was immediately considered by Duncan to be the one who was capable of saying this.

Because in his opinion, to be able to know such news, it should be a person who has huge power in his own right, and it is naturally understandable that he can do the task of an underground werewolf.

Link is actually just an elf who told him this information, but to be able to buy these slaves in the open sea, he must be rich and powerful, how can ordinary people buy them?

So, Dean Duncan's guess wasn't wrong.

Link is now a small force in his own right.

"Two days ago, the Jade Grand Duke entrusted me to hand over a task to you."

Dean Duncan's words made Link's heart tighten, "Go and clean up a few islands, and hold out for a while to defend against the attacks of the deep-sea fishmen." ”

Seeing Link's expression change suddenly, Duncan was even more sure that Link understood the situation in the open sea, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Don't worry too much, there are still many months before that person awakens, you just need to keep the island intact for two months, and ensure the progress of other people's missions, even if you complete the mission." ”

Duncan then said lightly: "It only takes 2 months, and after it is completed, you can come back directly through the teleportation array, and you don't need to face that person's wrath." ”

Seeing Link's face soften, Duncan smiled even more and said, "After all, you are a war lord, the treatment level is the same as mine, and you are also a precious seed of the empire, how can you be used as cannon fodder to fight to the death there?" ”

Link snorted and said to Dean Duncan, "Since it's a mission, what's the reward?" ”

"What do you need?" Dean Duncan asked rhetorically, "Since it is the task of the Emerald Bus Generation, then naturally you can choose the type of reward at will." ”

"I need time metal."

Link said, "The more the merrier." ”

"It's simple." Duncan looked at Link and felt that the other party's request was not too excessive, "I'll give you a list later, if you reward you with Time Metal, the more difficult islands will be given, and then you can defend according to your needs." ”

Link nodded in understanding.

After spending half a day at the head of the house, a list was placed in front of him.

He had to make a choice here, he couldn't take it out, he couldn't tell anyone else what he said here today.

It's top secret, and if it leaks, it would be an enemy of the Empire - at least the Archduke of Jade!

The Grand Duke, who can hold the real power of the dukedom, is at least a master-level powerhouse, and if he is targeted by such a character, he will be wanted like a mouse for hundreds or thousands of years.

So there is no need to swear, the existence of the Jade Grand Duke himself alone is enough to shut up.

Although Link is not afraid of the Emerald Grand Duke, because if he hides for a few decades at most, the Elemental Tower is enough to grow to a terrifying level, but there is no need to offend people for no reason.

And Link doesn't have anyone to break the rule, and there's no one to tell.

He is still very lonely in this world.

After coming out of the Warlord Academy, Link began to prepare for the next mission.

The task he took on was extremely difficult, and it could be said that this time he had to face the high-level professionals head-on.

Destroy the 17th island of the Ethereal Islands, and then defend it for about 2 months.

The bonus time metal is about the amount of a teleportation circle.

This is already an exceptional reward.

The Ethereal Islands are an island deep in the depths of the deep-sea fish-people, and there are many people in it, and they are basically ruled by the deep-sea fishmen.

The higher the numbered island, the larger the island, and the more powerful the presence is stationed.

Basically, after Island 10, there is a garrison of high-level professionals.

Island 17 is already considered the strongest group of the Ethereal Islands, and the highest level of island number is only 19.

The reason why the difficulty is extremely high is that after Link breaks through the island's defenses, he may encounter reinforcements from other islands, and it is also possible to be unlucky to encounter the arrival of two or three high-level professionals.

However, at this point, the head of the academy told Link that when the time comes, the operation will be carried out in unison, and when Link attacks Island 17, there will also be other invited powerhouses to face the other islands.

Therefore, it is very difficult for other islands to send reinforcements to Island 17.

Link's most dangerous time was the next two months.

While the other islands are guarded by tough, high-level professionals, he could become a key target for the Deep Sea Fishmen, who could encounter fearsome enemies if they weren't careful.

As a result, it was an extremely difficult task for Link.

"But the rewards are huge."

Link walked along the road and said to himself, "People die for money, birds die for food, for a new teleportation array that has no time to pass, it's worth taking such a risk. ”

Twenty days before the meeting, Link needed to take the Emerald City's transport ship to the open sea in seven days.

All teleportation arrays to the open sea are blocked, and when the Tyrant of the Deep Sea is about to awaken, the fluctuations caused by the teleportation array may cause the opponent to speed up the recovery steps. (To be continued.) )
