Chapter 189: Quietly approaching malice
While Drew laments the adventurers' terrible career choices, Gillentina snatches a task from the Mercenary Guild to collect demonic roots.
The Demon Spirit Root is a gold-level magic medicine, mainly used to make magic potions commonly used by various magic professionals, such as meditation potions, magic condensation potions, etc. The Demon Spirit Roots in the Green Shadow Deep Forest mainly grow near the place where their team has just mixed up, and the Green Shadow Python often serves as a guardian. After seeing this quest from the Guild and remembering a certain python that had become a gold coin in their pockets, Gillentina naturally thought that they could continue their adventures and earn some extra money. She had just seen a dwarf fighting in a vat from the tavern, and realized that their adventure would soon begin again.
After a week of reflection, Gillentina was keenly aware that except for the strength of the Lexar priest, which didn't seem to have changed much, the strength of the other team members had improved a lot, especially the injured dwarves, who seemed to be approaching the intermediate level of the Golden Rank after the most intimate treatment. According to their strength, it will definitely be much easier to venture into the moderately dangerous area of the Green Shadow Forest again than last time.
There is sometimes competition in the Mercenary Guild to take on tasks, and it just so happened that this time Gillentina encountered 2 teams competing with her for the task. Fortunately, the captains of these two teams gave up after seeing the tusks of the Green Shadow Python that Gillentina had pulled out, otherwise a battle for tasks that many mercenaries and adventurers like to see would have been staged in the guild.
"I said Captain Gillentina, where did you pick up a Gold-tier priest? How lucky! And you're picking up a guy who can actually heal in battle. It is said that many of the priests who have been shaking up recently have been kicked out, and the guys who can only use healing techniques have made many teams afraid to accept priests casually. Speaking of which, I really envy the luck of your team. ”
After withdrawing from the competition with Gillentina, the captain, nicknamed Grizzleback, jealously accosted Gillentina. The Mercenary Guild is arguably the most well-informed place, and the decision made by Drew after agreeing with the other 3 Chief Priests of the High God last year has been circulating among such low-class adventurers.
It is said that his team used to be more than one notch better than Gillentina's team who was only mixed on the periphery, but when Gillentina pulled the passing Drew into the team, this phenomenon was directly reversed. If the Grizzleback Bear and their team encounter more than 2 Gold-level Demonic Beasts, it will be an extremely difficult battle, and they must fight with the mentality of inevitable attrition. And Gillentina, they already have the experience of fighting hard with 3 gold-level demonic beasts, and they have also improved their strength a lot.
"Thanks to the care of the great moon god Luna, Lexa is indeed a very powerful priest. It's just that it seems that he is also one of the group of people who were just kicked out of the temple last year, and just took off the fledgling hat a few days ago. ”
Gillentina had been in contact with the Grizzly Bears team a few times before, and had helped each other out a few times. Although you can't call it a buddy, you can still be a friend. In the face of people's envy, Gillentina didn't show much, but responded very politely.
"Looks like you're going to have an adventure again, right? This time also to play in a moderately dangerous area? ”
"Well, it just so happens that the drunkard in our team is healed. Anyway, we're going to venture around there, so let's take on this mission and see if we can make some extra money along the way. You know we had a Green Shadow Python last time, and I should be able to find its nest if I look around there. As long as it finds its lair, there is a high chance that it will find the Demon Spirit Root. ”
"I wish you all the best. Hey, seeing you all the rage, I really want to grab a priest here......"
After saying goodbye to the grizzly bear and turning around, Gillentina smiled bitterly.
"If you knew that we were betrayed by our teammates and almost wiped out by such a priest, you wouldn't envy me. We're mixing well now, but that experience is really not something to get used to. Betrayal from a teammate is the worst thing that can happen! ”
Passing by the tavern, Gillentina dragged Mar Coal, who had already drunk the second barrel and was about to order the third barrel, back to the small inn where they were staying. Now that his injuries were no longer in serious condition, and she had taken on a good assignment, she had to put the time of departure on the agenda.
"Well, it looks like our adventure is about to start again. I think you got a quest, right? ”
The dwarves are one of the most famous alcoholic races in the world of Fit, and after hearing Gillentina's summons and washing his face, the dwarves are one of the most famous alcoholic races in the world of Fit, and after hearing Gillentina's summons, he can't tell from the outside that this product has just dried up 2 barrels of wine, and only the smell of wine can prove that this product has just been fighting with barrels for a while. After his teammates gathered, the dwarf who had drunk so much was actually the first guy to ask a serious question.
"Seeing how well you're drinking, I know Lexar has lifted your Prohibition, and it seems that you're recovering pretty well. Can I understand that we can continue the adventure, Lexa? ”
Glancing at Mar, Gillentina asked Drew about him. The smell of wine had begun to smoke in the sky, and Gillentina, who had never been a big fan of drinking too much, frowned at the smell of dwarven wine.
"Ha, our Heavy-Armored Warrior can face those 2 Wind Wolves alone again, still without my support! Anyway, I really think that this thing's talent as a berserker is higher than that of a heavy armor warrior, and he won't listen to it anyway. ”
Thinking of the extreme talent of the dwarves displayed in the system, Drew had to sigh again. A crooked tech tree or skill tree is really scary, and Drew knows a little bit about a certain Ox T (my name is ...... The pain of it. However, Drew's kind reminder didn't make any difference, and after a short discussion, they decided to set off on the forest tomorrow.
"Anyway, we're so strong now, I remember when we used to face these beasts, there were several people who hung up the lottery."
Looking at the corpse of the wind wolf in the ground, Fremi said with some emotion.
After entering the periphery of the forest, in order to adapt to each other's improved strength, they specially found a small group of 7 silver-level wind wolves to practice. It's just that even Drew didn't expect that without his divine support, this group of guys was stunned and easily chopped off these 7 silver-level wind wolves.
The year before last, it was when the water snake had not yet rebelled. Gillentina and the others had faced the situation of being surrounded by several silver-tier wind wolves, and although they did not reduce their number of personnel, they all hung up, and they only managed to maintain their team after spending a lot of money to hire a priest.
Compared to that time, their current strength has only increased by about 3-4 levels, and compared to the beginning of this year, it has only increased by 1-2 levels. But they found that the strength of their team has been improved by more than one notch! The wolves that plagued them back then and almost became a psychological shadow turned into a pile of magical materials.
"I thought it would be nice for us to take out this group of guys with the help of Lexa's divine arts, but I didn't expect that we could be so easy and happy to cook it on our own. Now I finally understand a little bit, and that's probably what the management team says is about the strength of the team. To be honest, each of us didn't improve much compared to the year before last, but we were able to clean up the nightmare of the year so easily with the strength of the team,"
After retrieving some of the arrows, Fremi straightened out her quiver and spoke, a statement that was recognized by everyone on the team except Drew. After hearing her words, even the usually smug Marr and the somewhat zombie-faced (just tsundere) Hakwal nodded in agreement.
"In addition to the strength of the team, I think there is another important reason why we were able to win so easily – the state of mind. Last year, when we encountered wolves, we were very nervous, and we were afraid that we would be injured and affect other people, or even die. But this time, when we faced the wolves, we were relieved to have Lexa, a gold-level priest, in the team, and we didn't have to think about some regular injuries when fighting. Although Lexar didn't support us throughout the battle, there was already some wrapping in our hearts that allowed us to play more. After no worries, we turned out to be so strong! ”
Gillentina sensed another important reason why they were able to fight so easily. As she said, since having Drew, a Gold-level priest, and seeing his medical abilities, they have indeed been relieved when fighting, and this peace of mind has also allowed them to use their strength more perfectly.
Looking around at her teammates, Gillentina couldn't help but feel a wave of pride. Compared to the elite teammates of her godsister who came from the Brilliant City Academy, her teammates, except for the big boss Drew who hid his identity, were just some guys who had the wrong skill tree in Drew's opinion. But at this time, looking at this brilliant result, no one would think that her teammates would be a bunch of pit goods, but would be amazed by their growth. Although they have experienced painful betrayal and pain, they are standing at the door of the elite team at the moment! It seems that the door of the elite team, which could only be watched, is still beckoning to them.
It's just that Gillentina was just about to express her pride to her teammates when Drew suddenly pulled her.
"Be careful, we're surrounded!"
