As the contractors were more efficient, everyone could tell that Tabesa was in a good mood when they left Alterac at noon to recuperate. Although it is said that it is alternate retreats, the scene is not much different from Tabeza's formation on the spire of the bell tower, and everyone withdraws from the abandoned city at once.

Willing or unwilling, in fact, most of the contractors' eyes were focused on the pale and silent red-robed mage. (1) After a few hours of "fighting together", their attitude towards this person also changed to a certain extent - just like Tabesa. Perhaps it was for this reason that she also handed over a copy to Jin Shaolan when distributing the task reward, although he was tired and didn't even bother to speak when he took it, she and he seemed to nod to each other tacitly. The gazes that looked at him were completely different from when he had been teleported here by Tabeza. While this change was not exaggerated enough to make the contractors feel "deserved" when Tabesa also handed him a glittering gold and silver coins and an oil-paper packet, at least no one put any negative feelings such as jealousy on their faces.

As for the reward that Mr. Mage has acquired, it is the same as theirs, it is a typical kitchen knife prop - who asked you to come here to put some magician's score? It's not schadenfreude, well, it's not. The nearby physical output contractor, you look at me, I look at you, surprised, relieved, I believe that a considerable degree of psychological balance has been found in my heart.

"With your help, the adventurers recruited by the Dalaran astrologer/high mage Tabesa have compressed the space for the syndicate mercenaries to operate and eliminated some of them, dampening their arrogance."

"Follow-up side quest: Clear the enemy trail (Phase 1) completed."

"You gained 1 merit point."

"You've earned the qualifications to continue participating in the Alterac Ruins Cleanup Mission."

"Your Main Quest: Trusted Adventurer has gained an additional 3 hours to complete, with 45:38:17/51:00:00 remaining."

"The City of Mages, Dalaran, has increased your opinion by 800 points."

"Your reputation in Dalaran is lukewarm at the moment: 800/3000."

"What you have done so far has made Astrologer/High Mage Tabesa appreciate you very much, and his perception of you has been raised to 'familiarity'."

"Tabesa's perception of you at the moment is: 'Familiar' 1024/8400 points."

"Until the end of the 48 (+3) hour period, you can continue with the side quests: the subsequent stages of clearing the enemy's tracks, or you can end the side quest and continue to improve Dalaran's perception of you in other ways. Tip: Once you abandon the branch, you will not be able to pick it up again and will have to start again from the first session. ”

"You've got 2 gold and 16 silver."

For the tired Jin Shaolan, the Nightmare Mark's series of prompts sounded so pleasant at the moment: he had never thought that what he was doing would still fulfill the requirements of the mission—you know, he had watched the Alterac ruins begin to clear up after the morning fog that gradually dissipated, and listened very speechlessly to words such as "Side Quest: Recruitment Completed." Follow-up side quests: Clear the enemy trail activation. ......" and a series of mechanical and rigid prompts At that time, Jin Shaolan's plan in his heart was actually "accept fate", and "There is no task failure penalty left and right for this task, and it will be time to give up."

What he didn't expect and was pleased with was the recognition of the other contractors.

In their eyes, he is no longer "a mage who runs to the kitchen knife team to set scores", but "a reliable peer". Although he was tired from nearly four hours of almost non-stop chanting, Jin Shaolan's eyes glittered. He pursed his somewhat dry lips and squinted and smiled.

For the contractors who carried out the mission in the ruins of Alterac with Jin Shaolan, they began to get used to fighting with their opponents because of their tendency to physical output expertise after several missions released by the nightmare space, and they had very little experience in cooperating with a rare legal system specialized contractor in the space, and the "Torre Red Robe Mage" who added a heavy stroke to this rare experience made their eyes shine: this, no matter what the purpose is, But it was precisely the magic skills that he used to assist and match their kitchen knives.

The way they were already familiar with the fight suddenly became easier, and at first, they didn't give extra attention to the not-so-obvious help, but when the four hours passed, and the morning purge was nearing the end, the accumulated small help became a clear advantage—almost everyone had achieved greater results than expected. Especially for those who had the strength to spare and let go of their opponents in the final battle, until the corpse of the syndicate mercenary fell to the ground, they suddenly realized what kind of help they had received from the "Torre Red Knight". The contractors are all realistic, and all the things that were unpleasant to him that arose earlier because of the superiority of the "red-robed mage" naturally changed to enthusiasm.

One of the easier changes to see was that no one rushed to gather around him to ask for information, including the three who were more familiar with Jin Shaolan, but left enough space around him like a beast dividing each other's spheres of influence - no matter what skill the "red-robed mage" used, the almost non-stop hours of casting obviously consumed him a lot: when he came down from the bell tower with Tabesa, the pale exhaustion of the "red-robed mage" was obvious to everyone. At this moment, leaving room for the other person to regain his strength and spirit is a sign of respect for a veteran whose abilities have been recognized.

…… Especially after communicating with each other privately, the contractors who have the physical output expertise found that not only the melee fighters who are known for their strength or agility did not receive the prompts, but also the gunners who had to invest more in perception: among the people, even the two with the highest "perception" values, when they looked through all their battle records for the whole morning, they did not find any clues related to this "Torre Red Mage": whether it was the skills he used, the negative effects of the syndicate assassins, Even the hints you would have received in the past, "Your opponent's perception has surpassed you, and you will be suppressed by your perception, and you will not be able to obtain detailed information from the battle logs" - such a striking person is clearly on the battlefield, and can be seen at any time during the whole morning of fierce fighting, and the mage's slightly dull chant can be heard even out of sight, but in the nightmare imprint's detailed battle records, the "red-robed mage" is nowhere to be seen as an invisible person!

Under the bright and flickering sun at noon, the two of them, who have always been quite comfortable with their high perception values, felt a chill behind them, and their cold hairs stood on end.
