Chapter 177: Waiting for Teammates
The small adventure groups in the Ella continent are generally divided into two types according to the duration of the event.
The first type is active throughout the year regardless of the wind, rain, snow and cold. Generally speaking, this type of team moves with a regular team member and does not interrupt the adventure due to bad weather or some event. It is characterized by a very reasonable composition of its own team members, fewer contradictions in distribution, good feelings between team members, and no worries because they are unmarried or married without children, or because of a solid family background and not too many worries.
There are very few such teams, but they are often the ones who have the most gains, and they are also the adventurers in the eyes of children and others. Because the bonds and tacit understandings they have formed over the years can help them overcome many obstacles, and because of the extraordinary skills and steady progress they have cultivated through years of adventure, they can take risks in more dangerous places. In this case, it is a matter of course that the income is more than that of other adventurers.
Generally speaking, the members of this kind of adventure party are composed of noble children, graduates of major colleges, good seedlings of major powers, and really powerful members of the adventure group. Except for those members of the powerful adventure group, the people are mainly young people who have come out to see the world.
The second type is adventurers who avoid the cold winter or the rainy season when it rains heavily and are active in other seasons. Some of these adventurers may be a group of people who have been together all year round, but most of them are improvised. It is characterized by a large turnover of personnel, the composition of members is often unreasonable, it is easy to gather and disperse, there are many contradictions in distribution, there is almost no trust between members, there is a large gap in strength between members, and each cherishes life very much and is selfish.
Most of the adventure groups on the continent of Ella are such teams. Usually no more than 20 people are in the group, and in most cases try to avoid too many dangers. Of course, this kind of inefficient and poorly coordinated adventure group often does not get the same harvest as the first type of adventure group, but for various reasons, this kind of adventure group accounts for more than 90% of the adventure group of the Ella continent.
One of the most important reasons is that this type of adventure group has the great advantage of being concentrated - you can be with your family and you can take care of personal things during non-adventure periods. The most important thing is that adventurers who have a harvest can take their harvest back to their own homes and spend the New Year with their families.
I don't know when the custom of welcoming the New Year with your family became popular in the world of Fit. This custom is not much different from the New Year's custom of Drew's previous life, where the family gets together to bring out some delicious food and drink, and then have a good time. Of course, there are also places where you can welcome the New Year with friends, neighbors, and blind dates. This kind of activity, which I don't know when it began, has now become almost a constant routine in the world of Fit, and even the abyss, which fights every day, stops large-scale fights on this day.
It may also be due to the increase in the New Year, a common holiday in the world of Fit, that the proportion of the second type of adventurer team has remained high. Gillentina's little adventure group, like most of them, is this kind of migratory bird team. If anything, her team has been more regular in recent years.
In recent years, Gillentina's team has consisted of her as a leader and warrior, Kamal Coal, a dwarven heavy warrior, Frémi Ekka, a human archer, Hakvar Frey, a human mage, and two thieves nicknamed the Water Serpent and the Mayfly. It's just that last year, the Water Snake betrayed them for the sake of that gold-tier medicinal herb, and the Water Snake and the people who attacked the group with him were all turned into corpses.
Because of the betrayal of a group member who got along with each other day and night, the members of Gillentina's adventure group last year were not in the mood for too many adventures, and broke up early before the autumn. It's just that no matter what the reason is, they all agreed with each other to reunite in the village of Karlo in Tylen City this spring.
The dwarven heavy warrior Kamal Coal returns to the Dwarven Kingdom during the time of his absence to participate in the annual Wine Festival. Gillentina also participated in the wine festival that has become the most popular festival of the dwarves with this honest dwarf 2 years ago, but with half elf blood, she quickly disliked the customs of the dwarf kingdom and hurriedly left the dwarf kingdom and returned to the kingdom of Tyranny in the winter.
Human archer Freimi Aika, a native of the Radiant Empire, said last year that he wanted to return home and take his talented brother to the City of Glory to take the City of Glory exam. According to him, entering the Brilliant City Academy with his younger brother's talent was a sure thing. This news made the mage Huckvar Frey, who was also from a human background, and the human thief Mayfly envious of his brother's talent.
The human mage Huckvar Frey came from the Mage Tower of the Northern Eisen Empire and mingled with Gillentina in order to seek further breakthroughs in his adventurous life. After ending his adventure early last year, he said he wanted to return to the Eisen Imperial Mage Tower to learn something more.
The human thief mayfly was born and raised in the kingdom of Tyranny, but it is said that he had some younger siblings and left the village of Carlo in a hurry after the adventure, leaving Gillentina alone to spend the New Year alone in the village of Carlo.
True, Gillentina did not return to the elven kingdom. She hadn't been back to the Elven Kingdom since she attended that godsister's wedding, because even if she did, she wouldn't have anywhere else to go except to be a light bulb for this sister! Ever since her young mother died of depression, she had drawn an invisible line with the elven kingdom in her heart. For the past few years, she has spent the winter looking for a job as a winter guard or patrol in the place where the adventure group is scattered.
The raindrops bring a sense of haze to the small village of Carlo. Although spring has arrived, the cold of winter has not completely dissipated, and there is still a trace of cold in the air. The Green Shadow Forest, which has just been relieved from the ice, will soon become a paradise for adventurers this year again, and soon the village of Carlo, which has been quiet since the beginning of winter, will be alive with adventurers.
At this moment, Gillentina was drinking a little wine in the tavern at the east end of the village of Carlo, dispelling the chill, and if you looked closely, you would find that she was a little distracted at the moment.
For some reason, Gillentina thought a little of her mother, so she quietly hid in a corner of the tavern and drank a small drink, trying to remember her mother's bits and pieces. Unfortunately, a cohesive noise interrupted her memory, and with a shake of her head, she pressed the tenderness that had begun to fade in her mind to the bottom of her heart, and Gillentina turned her head in the direction from which the voice came.
However, when Gillentina noticed that the noise was made by a group of teenagers and girls, and that there were some elves, she did not continue to observe them, but retracted her gaze to look at the raindrops falling outside. In recent years, the relationship between the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom has become more and more harmonious, and the elves have sent batches of students to the Brilliant City. And the legendary Holy Order Headmaster did not refuse these students, but began to organize human students on a large scale to start participating in adventures with the elves, and kicked the children to the emerging adventurer land of the Tyrann Kingdom to experience the adventure. The teenagers and girls who interrupted Gillentina's memories looked like the children of the Academy of the Brilliant City.
Recently, there is an unwritten rule in the mercenary world, that is, none of these little ancestors can touch it. This group of little ancestors are all high-achieving students from the Academy of the Brilliant City, and they are simply the children of high-ranking officials or masters and powerhouses in the future of the Shenghui Empire. Many of the imps are still the children of the nobles of the Shenghui Empire, plus the high-achieving students of the elf clan who appeared from time to time at that time, no one will be idle and bored to try to kill the consequences of this group of imps. It's too late for this kind of imp with explosive status to be busy, who would be so brain-dead to touch it? After touching it, the anger from those nobles from the Shenghui Empire was not a problem, the biggest problem was that they really didn't dare to bet on whether the headmaster, who was a saint rank, would personally come forward to solve the matter. Although human beings are very forgetful, the collapse of a certain chamber of commerce that has only passed a little more than 10 years has not yet caused the human group to forget the terrifying destructive power that belongs to the powerhouses of the Holy Rank. So although she was a little upset to be interrupted from her memories, Gillentina shifted her gaze and continued to wait for her teammates.
In the last hours of last year, Gillentina invited the Elven Luna Priest who passed by and reached out to join her team, making it more of a Luna priest to her waiting list this year. Truth be told, since the young elven priest joined her team, Gillentina has found that her team has been plagued by injuries for a full three-quarters of the time! This had to make Gillentina pay attention to what her godsister had reminded her again.
"Whether it's in the Adventurer team or the Mercenary team, the Priest is an absolute protector and the most sought-after teammate! In the future, when you lead an adventure group or mercenary group, you will understand my words! ”
For many adventurers or mercenaries, injuries are very common. It's just that relative to the number of injuries, the number of effective treatments they receive often can't keep up. In addition to causing frequent interruptions in their journeys, this phenomenon can also cause them a large number of hidden diseases. And having a priest often means that they don't have to worry about most minor injuries at all, as long as they don't have a major injury with missing arms and legs, they can quickly recover and participate in the next activity under the healing technique, and many hidden diseases will disappear under the care of the healing technique.
It's a pity that the priest resources in the world of Fite are too precious, unless it is some powerful adventure group or mercenary group, it is difficult to have its own priest! So when the young boy from the elven tribe readily agreed to Gillentina's invitation, she wondered if she had heard it wrong.
