In the middle of Finn, in the northern part of the Kingdom of Synxter, in the wasteland near the Weeping Sand Sea, a small team hid in the shadow of the stone pile, cautiously observing the valley a few hundred meters away.

The valley is a small village, dotted with more than a dozen stone houses, interspersed with several handmade spots, and broken sand lizard skins can be seen on the ground.

It was a leather-making village, very ordinary on the edge of the weeping sand sea, but there was not a single living person in sight, only a faint black smoke spilling from the cracks in the doors of several stone houses.

Beyond the village, a hurricane-like column of black wind descended from the sky on the horizon filled with yellow sand, twisting and tumbling, and a clear frenzied thunder could be heard.

"It can be confirmed that the people in the village are all voided. ”

There were four people in the team, and a square-faced young man seemed to be the captain, who whispered while observing with a telescope: "But it's difficult to confirm the number of Void Zombies, only ...... Void zombies are confirmed in five houses. ”

The woman next to her was holding a staff in both hands, but with a strange weapon with a grip at the end, her clothes looked like magic robes with the hem and sleeves cut off, and the pointed magic hat was also missing, not much different from a straw hat with mud legs. She swallowed nervously as she complained, "Walray, you said you should exchange the Void Lens first, but you took all the Gimple ears to exchange for your adventurer's armament. Well, now it's not clear to us how many enemies there are. ”

Captain Volry said impatiently: "I don't have good equipment to withstand the enemy's attack, what's the use of changing the lens to see it clearly? And Ke Najie, didn't you insist on exchanging this hand...... Burning sticks, we could have changed a pair of lenses. ”

The little man on the other side, who should be a halfling of the nightfall profession, said with a sharp voice: "The fire resistance of the void monster is lower, and with the fire stick, our output can at least be guaranteed." ”

He said with some regret: "It's a pity that my night perception is ineffective against the Void Monsters, and I can't do much in reconnaissance. ”

The tone became affirmative again: "Even if there is not a single person escaping from this village, there will be only twenty or thirty at most, and they are all low-level void zombies, we have a good chance." ”

The female mage Konajie reciprocated: "No, Stoker, your trap is very useful, and we will rely on you to disrupt the enemy's formation and rhythm when the time comes." ”

She said eagerly, "Don't hesitate any longer, each Void Zombie is at least a little bit, and eliminate a Void Pollution Zone, at least thirty points." Combined with the newbie bonus, we hope for twenty points each!"

"What does twenty mean? It means that each of us can change to a pair of magic steel armor, or a magic guide weapon equivalent to a hero!"

Captain Walry's gaze also became eager, and a thin half-elf dragging at the end of the line said, "Is it really good to go on without knowing the enemy's situation?"

Walry frowned, "You're not going to stick to that plan, are you?"

The half-elf named Drode should be a druid with healing magic, and he said in a low voice: "Not knowing the specific situation of the enemy is only one thing, on the other hand, this place is too close to the Void Wind Pillar, the degree of Void power impregnation should be very deep, the desert leather maker is very strong, maybe there are transcendentals, in short, the risk is very high." ”

"Our squad is not very strong, although there are tanks, healing, output and field control support, but except for Ko Najie, the others have no effective enough protection, equipment and abilities are not targeted, and they don't even have a chance to escape if they make a mistake. ”

"I'm still the same opinion, give up here, and wait for the area of the Void Black Mist to continue to expand and infiltrate the villages behind, then it will be much safer for us to do it again. ”

Walry shook his head: "Impossible, what we grabbed on the adventurer Aung Hye was a designated mission, and if we gave up the mission, we would have to break the contract and have to pay a lot of money." ”

The halfling sneered: "What is the matter of money? If we do this, it will be recognized as maliciously usurping the mission, causing the spread of the black mist of the void that should have been contained, and we will be severely punished!

The half-elf muttered unhappily: "I just said that I shouldn't find the adventurer Aung Hlaing to take the task, just go directly to the adventurer's guild in the royal capital." ”

The female mage Konajie sneered and said, "What can the adventurer's guild exchange? The reward is not a few gold bushels, or use the silver el to convert and redeem, Duke Vic's greedy guy can eat the difference in exchange just by eating the exchange rate!"

The halfling echoed: "The adventurer's guild is supported by the West Fein group of magicians and the Dawning Empire, and it is just a partner above the adventurer Aung Hlaing, and then you can exchange it for a title, a territory, a magician-style equipment or even a flying boat or something, what's the use of those things?"

Warrell smiled, "If the goddess of fate favors and the prestige is worshipped, you can have lunch with that Hathaway-Ted." ”

The half-elf twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Worship? I'm not that crazy, some people have calculated, the fastest way to brush up on prestige is to donate gold bushels, at least five million gold bushels need to be donated to worship, I have five million and what am I doing desperately? It's enough to find the Holy See of Order to buy a ticket." ”

The female mage urged: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up! Even if we can't beat it, as long as we do our best, there will be no punishment even if we give up the task." ”

The four of them came to a consensus, and their breathing became rapid.

Just as he was about to act, Captain Vorell suddenly said, "We'...... It's better to ask the official for insurance, just in case. ”

The female mage shouted: "If you want insurance, the task reward will be discounted by 20%!"

Halflings and half-elves agreed, saying that at least they would have to worry about their lives.

The squad voted, and the female mage was one-on-three, failing to stop Vorrell from opening his sidekick.

"Hello Kerster Eagles 5592 Squad, Captain Vorell, what kind of help do you need?"

A girl's head is projected on the wrist-guard-style assistant, with black hair like a waterfall, skin like snow, and gray eyes like a river of stars. The facial features are exquisitely beautiful, and they exude a sacred and solemn atmosphere, which makes people dare not look directly, and only feel that it is blasphemy to look at it seriously.

The avatar appeared, and everyone in the team, including the female mage, looked obsessed.

This is Qili, the guide of the Ethereal Spirit's assistant, who is said to be the righteous saint of the Red Alliance.

It has been more than half a month since the Void Calamity struck, and even the most ordinary civilians already know that the main plane is facing a great calamity. Everywhere, you can see pillars of black air coming down from the sky, exuding strange powers, turning living people into black monsters.

The Red Alliance, who was originally at war, made peace with the Dawning Empire, and withdrew from the adventurer Aung Hlaing expansion Void Plague in the name of the Adventurer Commune, calling on all transcendents to unite through this "Aung Hlaing" to destroy the Void Plague and save mortals, while also earning a good reward.

The Dawning Empire and the Free Magic Alliance on the Mage's side are also supporting the original adventurer's guild in various places, but they lack a unified information communication channel, task distribution mechanism and reward system, so they have to cooperate with the adventurer's commune as Aung Hlaing's partner, joining Aung Hlaing's system as an "additional force".

The transcendents of East and West Fein have been united again after participating in the bloody battle between Purgatory and the Abyss last time, and because of the improvement of the broadcasting system, more transcendents who are hidden in the countryside have also been stirred.

They obtained the corresponding news through the old teleportation magician, and according to the instructions, they exchanged it for Aung Hlaing's personal assistants at various service points of "Aung Hye", and after signing up, they officially became part of the adventurer Aung Laye.

They can pick up and hand over quests through their companions, and they no longer have to run back to the adventurer's guild to interact like adventurers in the old days. The guides you can contact with your personal assistant can also provide a variety of consulting services and handle various tasks.

There are many guides, and this righteous saintess, known as "Little Qili", is the most popular among adventurers in the good camp.

"Insurance service?"

Xiao Qili's eyes flashed, and she found out the task they received, and said without a smile: "You undertake five types of tasks, and you can provide all types of insurance services from the lowest to the highest, so which type of service do you want to choose?"

As he spoke, a translucent list unfolded next to the avatar, listing the content and price of each type of service.

Within three hours of sending the alert, the security contractors commissioned by the Red Union arrive, most often other risk-takers.

This item deducts 20% of the remuneration in advance, and once it actually occurs, the remaining remuneration is paid to the contractor in full, which is equivalent to saying that the task is in vain, which is very fair. However, the time limit is too slow, and there is no guarantee of life or death, and this option will only be considered if it is impossible to evacuate the mission area.

On top of this, there are advanced services, professional services, elite services, platinum services and all levels of insurance, the highest level of "full worry-free", not only the Red United commando-level force full escort, but also from the fighter to the battleship of all-round security without dead ends, of course, the price code is extraordinary, it is for the local tyrants who do not consider the cost and just want to safely brush the experience.

The four members of the team discussed for a while, and finally chose the third level of professional services.

The price of this level is half of the task pay, and if it is actually executed, not only the other half of the reward must also be handed in, but also the bill must be billed according to the cost of the attack.

After all, they are a rookie team, safety first, and this level of insurance can guarantee that rescue arrives within half an hour after the signal is given. And only with insurance above this level, the Red Union will dispatch their people. Although in the hearts of many people, the Red Union is still a "red devil", but everyone still trusts their combat effectiveness.

"Professional services?"

The guide, Xiao Qili, was still expressionless: "Very good, it has been arranged, and the corresponding rescue team is on standby, I wish you all a smooth adventure." ”

The avatar disappeared, and the team, both men and women, were a little stunned, but they didn't dare to drive the companion for too long, and the magic battery also had to contribute some points or silver el.

With insurance, most of the players' worries were put down.

The guarantee of professional services is also very powerful, even if they die while waiting for rescue, as long as they make sure that their souls are not impregnated and their heads are still intact, the people of Chilian will use their heads to regenerate them.

Four strong-class adventurers who came out of the countryside of Kester, armed with their own weapons, rushed into the villages in the valley according to the planned route and agreed plan.
