Chapter 55: The Inevitable Parting
"Is there really no room for accommodation at all?" Rielly asked, still a little reluctantly.
"There's nothing I can do about it." The man who received the players shook his head: "After all, it is a cooperative organization with the Boreham family that provides training for this Miss Mage, not our Boreham family itself. When they signed the commission agreement, they set such a rule. This is not something we can violate unilaterally. β
Rielly couldn't help but complain, "Damn! Rounding around the bush like this is trouble. β
"But if it weren't for the Boreham family, Rielie you don't know how long it would be before you found a way to advance!" Barrett reached out from behind and patted Rielly on the shoulder.
It's amazing how quickly players can level up. If anyone among the aborigines said that the mage could be promoted from level 1 to level 5 in just one year, then what awaits him will be a round of torture from the church. According to past examples, this situation has more or less to do with the sacrifices of the lower planes. At the same time, it is inevitable that a large number of civilians (not necessarily innocent) will die.
Of course, if those aliens can pass the review, they will immediately become the target of competition among the major mage organizations. Whether it is to be studied or as a reserve cadre, it is quite a good choice. However, for the player, it is not so good - don't look at Barrett as if he is taking some advantage for this, if he is an aboriginal, such a performance will not be more than what it is now.
Of course, rapid strength improvement often brings a weak foundation. The foundation of this is not that the knowledge or casting ability is not solid, but that there is no time to build a network of contacts that match the strength. Generally speaking, Aboriginal mages are before they need to advance. Often, the right organization has already been found. At the same time, he has also relied on his own efforts to establish a certain connection with those organizations. There's no need to be like Rieli and come to someone to help you pull the relationship when you're about to advance.
"There's no other way." Turning around, Rieli stared at Barrett and asked.
And Barrett tilted his head and shrugged his shoulders: "At least I don't have any." Of course, Rielie yourself. Can you also try to find other ways? β
Hearing Barrett's words, Rielie rarely lowered her head and bit her fingers with her mouth. Looking at her hesitant performance, Barrett's face showed a bright smile. After discovering Barrett's gloating expression, the cat boy on the side immediately puffed out his cheeks and glared at him fiercely.
This cute expression provoked Barrett to reach out and touch Lalu's ear. And the catboy, who has always been not disgusted by this, grinned at Barrett at this moment, and almost stretched out his paws to scratch a blood mark on Barrett's palm. Seeing that the situation was not good, Barrett immediately withdrew his arm, and after laughing brightly, his expression became serious. At the same time, he complained in his heart: 'It seems that now is really not the time to tease cats!' β
After thinking about it for a long time, Rielly, who bit her lip, suddenly squatted down and hugged the cat: "Don't worry! No matter how difficult the assessment is, I will come back as soon as possible. You're waiting for me in the queue! β
The silent cat nodded. At the same time, he reached out and hugged Rielly and patted her on the back.
"Ahem! Cough! Now that you've made your decision, mage, hurry up and hit the road! Didn't you see that the receptionist was already waiting? Barrett, who felt that the performance of these two teammates in front of the public was really a bit embarrassing, had to interrupt their 'performance' with words.
And the receptionist who was snickering on the side. After hearing Barrett's words, he immediately became serious. Fortunately, none of his actions had happened.
What was supposed to be a tear-jerking drama was interrupted by Barrett. After glaring at Barrett fiercely, Rielly, who got up, turned to the receptionist, "So what do I need to do next?" β
"This is a charged item given by the other party. After using it, you will be able to teleport to that organization's location. Once you've completed your studies and tests, you'll return to Boreham Territory in the same way. The receptionist then handed Rielly a cylindrical baton, "They say that a qualified mage can figure out how to use this thing on their own. So, Miss Mage, you'll have to figure it out yourself. β
"Is this the first test?" Rielly, who had taken the 'Wear Stick', swiped her finger on it. Then he turned to Barrett and said, "Remember to take care of my family Lulu during my absence." If she was wronged at all. You can't eat and walk away. β
"Understood! Got it! With me, this little guy will never be bullied. Barrett straightened his back and flapped his chest to reassure Rielly.
Of course, if he encounters any irresistible factors, Barrett will not go back to resist. The specific choice depends on how Barrett weighs it in his heart. After all, although Riehlly's words were a deterrent to Barrett, the deterrent effect was more just a face.
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Rielie turned around and started the strange thing. In fact, Rielie also knew that the promise she asked Barrett to make was just for peace of mind. While she didn't see any signs of perfunctory expression in Barrett's expression, Barrett's past performances suggest that there may be limits to how much such a promise can be delivered. So Riele Lily is out of sight and out of mindβlike an ostrich with its head stuck in the sand.
As the strange object was activated, Rielly 'brushed' and disappeared from everyone's field of vision. Seeing that the mage was standing where there was only air, there was only Lalu left. I still feel a little lost.
Barretra, who walked forward, passed the catboy and said goodbye to the receptionist before turning away. Wait until you get out of the castle. Barrett reached out and touched the fluff on the catboy's head, "Okay, Lalu, don't think I didn't see the look in your eyes." Being able to liberate yourself from Rielly's side is still a little happy in your kid's heart! β
"You can eat indiscriminately. You can't talk nonsense! I'm going to sue you for slander if you do that. He gave a stirring blow, and then immediately glared at Barrett. That expression is as many as you want.
Barrett grabbed the cat by the neck and lifted him up: "Now it's just the two of us, you don't pretend anymore." No matter how faithful you are. Rieli can't see it. β
"No matter what, Lily's request will persist for a hundred years." Lalu, whose legs were in the air, immediately shouted slogans.
"Are you still pretending? Forget it, I finally understand that it's impossible to get your wife to be hard. With that, Barrett put Lalu on his shoulder, and then rushed towards the player's temporary station.
The moment I stepped into the door, I saw the companions of the two people who had returned, and their eyes widened one by one. One of them was holding a biscuit of noodles in his mouth, and he accidentally dropped his small snack on the ground.
"How, how is that possible? How could Lalu come back with you? The halfling wanderer held out his trembling fingers. Pointing to Barrett and the catboy, he asked.
Claymatis. Bot touched his chin and smiled evilly: "Barrett, you won't pry the corner of our Lily!" If that's the case, you'll have to treat our Lulu well! β
Barrett, who heard this, immediately waved his hands one after another: "The rotten girl retreats, the rotten girl retreats." You're in the head. Is it all tofu flowers? What other reason can I think of besides this? β
"It's because the mage's advanced quest can only be done by one person! So Lalu was left behind for the time being. At this time, it was the anvil on the side that relieved Barrett.
Barrett, who was finally able to escape the delusion of the rotten girl, immediately explained: "This time, the mage organization in charge of advancement only allows the applicant to go to their station. This should be a self-protection mechanism for them. So Rielly simply couldn't take Lalu with her. β
Then I saw that Clematis. Bot glared at the anvil, "Do you really think I can't think of this?" It's rare to be able to tease Barrett, but it's all ruined by you, bearded shorty. β
But for Claymatis. Bot complained, and the anvil touched his beard and did not do anything in response. It's as if you can't hear what the other party is saying at all. I feel a little self-deprecating and boring Clematis. Bot. Suddenly, there was no intention of continuing the previous topic.
"Alright! I want to think that the mage has been sent away. Next up is the noodle you. When you go to Sanoah's house, do you want us to go on the road together? As he spoke, Barrett immediately turned his gaze to the halfling wanderer.
Only to see the note shook his head: "No! As I said before, I'm going to use this mission to hone my skills. So I'll take care of it all on my own. β
"Don't talk so badly! No one can fully grasp what lies ahead. Maybe in a few days, you will encounter something that you can't solve on your own? Speaking of this, Barrett put down the cat boy on his shoulder, "If you really encounter that situation, remember to notify us through the channel of the 'Good Dragon God Church'." β
"But in a few days, you will need to help Clematis in her professional mission! How to find you when the time comes, it's a problem! Hearing Barrett's words, Noodles immediately frowned.
Fortunately, Barrett has already had a problem with this: "If that's it. You can rest assured of noodles. If we're going to help Clematis in her professional mission, then the Church of Fortune and Commerce to which she belongs will know where we're going. Although the relationship between the 'Church of the Dragon God of Good' and the 'Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is not very close. But the two sides are also quite harmonious. As long as you go through the channels of the church. It will soon reach our ears. Of course, if there is a problem with this convenient channel, you can also ask the Sanoa family to pass the message to the Boreham family. This is an alternate communication route! β
In previous missions to reinforce the Dragonvein family, players have fought alongside members of the Sainoa family. This family is a retainer of House Bolim and the administrator of the Church of the Dragon God of Good in Bolim. So their family home became a place for the church to communicate and issue missions.
It's a coincidence that the Sanoa family joined the Boyham Territory when it was the last time the Dark Elves invaded the surface. At that time, the ancestors of the Senoah family, a pair of brothers, were killed in a battle with the dark elves. The heirs of House Bolim at the time paid for the resurrection spell after recruiting their team, which made the brothers die for the House of Boreham.
Now the Senoa family is a deep-rooted force in Boreham. Although they have not been knighted, they can only be considered retainers and not vassals, so they cannot obtain knights' manors. But no one can underestimate their strength and influence - the family has a lot of property in Poitu City and Morbihan Port.
Of course, it is precisely because of their close relationship with the Boreham family that Barrett is ready to follow the relationship, and by the way, try to see if he can ask for a favor for the noodles. In order to slightly reduce the difficulty of the Halfling Wanderer quest. However, such an offer was directly rejected by Noodles. It seems that he is really ready to use this mission to hone himself.
"If I really can't help it, I'm not such a rigid person." Saying this, Noodle quickly picked up his bags, "Goodbye guys, I'll miss you." β
"Hopefully, the next time we meet, we'll be able to meet a different you." As he said this, Barrett crouched down and patted Noodle on the shoulder.
And Claudia. Auditore ruined the parting atmosphere with a big grin: "Do you need to make it so sad? It's not a life or death. There are so many teams in the game. A few of them made it like you. Besides, it's not like noodles won't come in the future. β
"The noodles of that time are not the noodles they are now." Barrett, who turned his head, looked at Claudia. Auditore shook his head.
With two members of the team temporarily leaving for their careers, there are only five players left in the room. After the lack of the support of the two functional professions, Mage and Wanderer, the next task of the Bloodstained Gray Flower Mercenary Group is something that needs to be carefully considered. (To be continued.) )
