Soon, a storm subsided, and Charlie's team quickly blended into the crowd like fish in a river, and new apprentices poured in, diverted by other volunteers, and dispersed around Twilighttown, giving the town a bustling scene.

It wasn't until Charlie's team fully adapted to the environment of Twilight Town that it was clear what it was.

It is more of a small city than a small town, and the whole town is shrouded in gray-brown haze, and the sky is half obscured by the thick canopy, and through the gaps in the canopy, you can see the gray-black swirling sky, and you can feel no trace of the sun.

The air was unusually damp and cold, with a faint smell of rot, and it always felt like something was quietly rotting in some corner of the surrounding area.

Twilight is located in a low-lying basin near the mountains, the terrain is open, there are no walls and gates, and it is directly exposed to the complex jungle, and the town is full of various tent camps, which spread around the core and spread out into the outer circle, cluster after cluster, and the further out, the lower the rent.

The tents were very rudimentary, often a dozen or so connected together, with only a narrow passage in between, and almost no place to wash, it was hard to imagine what the apprentices who had worked so hard around Twilight Town would have become after a few months of struggle, and what the tent would become.

Charlie was speechless when he saw the tents that were no longer distinguishing their original colors and materials, and the smell of them had blended in with the background of Twilighttown.

This is one of the hallmarks of Twilighttown, with hard-working apprentices and a large number of night watchmen forming the town's outer defenses.

Many freshmen arrive in Twilight Town and are usually overwhelmed by the huge difference in the environment, and the fact that they are unprepared and clueless about the rules of the free quest game.

"Charlie, what do we do now?"

Hearing this question, Charlie felt helpless and thought to himself, in fact, his team members are not much better than others.

Faced with a completely unfamiliar environment, Charlie can't provide any experienced advice, but as a captain, he doesn't have the right to say "I don't know".

Zha Li thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Your current problem is that you rely too much on the captain, which is not a good phenomenon, if you keep listening to my arrangement, you will stifle your judgment and execution, and you will not be able to improve, so I decided to give everyone a chance to exercise."

You see, we are now in a completely new place, and we don't know anything about the surrounding environment, customs, and dangers, and we don't know the market conditions here, we don't know the consumption standards of food and daily life, and we don't know how to accept tasks, complete them, and earn points.

And the biggest problem at the moment is, how to solve the problem of food and lodging tonight? These things need to be figured out, and if it all falls on my head, I'm afraid it won't be very efficient, and we have to act separately and figure out some things separately in order to get ahead of many new students, understand?"

Qingtong muttered: "Charlie is right, although he is also here for the first time, but his thinking is much clearer, we are a team, not Charlie's team alone, everyone has to think about how to play their role, and you can't expect others to arrange some things!"

Qianxue said timidly: "But...... What if I run into a bad guy?"

"This is Twilight Town, theoretically speaking, you won't be in any danger, of course, you may encounter some old students who take advantage of the new students who don't understand the rules, in fact, this is also a kind of experience for you!"

"Alright!" Chiyuki muttered, swallowing some of the words.

"We're divided into three groups, the Costa brothers, the three of you girls are in a group, and I'm in a group, now let's pick the tasks in our team!

Everyone responded in unison, and quickly picked out some tasks.

Charlie finally advised: "Everyone has signed an alliance contract, they can sense each other's locations, and if there is a problem, they will be fed back through the soul link in time, and others will rush to help!"

"Understood!"

It's everyone's nature to avoid the important and light, especially in an unfamiliar environment, and they are left with two problems, which are the two most difficult ones: solving tonight's food and lodging, and figuring out how to complete tasks in Twilight Town to earn points.

There is no time limit for the free mission season, only the recommended time, the academy recommends that the goal be reached within three months, those who do not reach the goal cannot go back to school until the goal is reached, and some people even delay a year or two in the free mission season before being allowed to enter the second grade, so you will see that there is a large age difference in each grade.

This mission season requires each official member to get at least 300 mission points, and the team is not less than 1500 mission points, and two conditions can be met at the same time to go back justifiably, otherwise, you can only go back to the academy to make some supplies, stay for a short time, and the back-and-forth teleportation cost is quite expensive.

Charlie glanced around and saw a touch of scarlet in the distance, which was very conspicuous in the twilight, and Charlie walked over.

"Blood Raven Bar", several scarlet and shiny big characters appeared in the field of vision, and the edges of the handwriting were like blood, flowing out a few traces, giving the bar a layer of mysterious color.

Charlie followed the crowd into the bar.

The bar is made of a large number of dry wooden stakes for tables and chairs, natural and quaint, relatively clean, dimly lit, and melodious music rippling in the air, in this environment, you see every man and woman with * in their eyes, very ambiguous, it seems that you can easily ask her (him) out, and then I don't know which tent to get into, rolling wildly for hours, of course, this may also be your delusion.

Charlie doesn't yet know that the apprentice who survives in Twilight Town hovers on the brink of crisis every day, and the bar is the best pastime, and after experiencing life and death, he will cherish the moment and liberate himself*. Apprentices generally complete this stage of transformation within three months to six months, and most men and women mature during this stage of transformation.

Charlie walked straight to the bar and sat down.

The bartender expertly pushed over a large glass of ale and held out his hand, "For 50 gold coins, you can sit until midnight, and you will have to add money for the night." ”

There is also a charge for the counter seat, and the price is not cheap.

Charlie reached into his pocket with one hand, took out a large gold coin, and threw it on the bar, his bones rolling with a crisp sound.

The bartender's eyes lit up and he pressed it lightly with his fingers.

This is a large gold coin minted by Tianji Harbor, the size is one circle larger than ordinary gold coins, and the center is inlaid with magic energy crystals, which are worth 100 times more than ordinary gold coins, making it easy to carry. Since it is recognized by the Arcane Ring, it is hard currency throughout the continent, and is more reputable than the gold coins issued by the Millennium Empire, and comparable to the temple gold coins of the Church of the Holy Blade.

Ordinary people couldn't get this kind of gold coin, so Donald left him 2,000 and put it in the space ring.

Charlie smiled, "The cost here is not lower than that of the Arcane Ring!"

"Of course, the supplies here are pulled from the Arcane Ring, so it's not bad if you don't increase the price. Perhaps looking at the face of the gold coin, the bartender said a few more words.

Charlie said, "I just came to Twilight, I don't know the rules, and I want to ask about something. ”

"Local townsfolk like us only know a few common sense questions, so you can ask, but if you want to ask a mission-related question, I'd suggest you go to them. The bartender Nunu mouthed and motioned to several waves of people on the card seat in the distance, "They are the same as you, they are senior apprentices, and they have been here for a few months and a year, and they basically understand everything, and those who don't understand it will either go back to the academy or be buried somewhere to rot." ”

The bar looked like a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, and Charlie thought he was an apprentice working in the bar, but he didn't expect it to be an aborigine.

Charlie was surprised: "You're not an apprentice?"

The bartender smiled wryly, "I wish I was." ”

"Isn't it true that this is the birthplace of the Academy? Are you a descendant of the founding generation of the Academy?

The bartender shook his head and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, this town has existed for a long time before the magicians came to Twilight, maybe it's because of the residents that the magicians will start here! ”

This was an unexpected discovery, Twilighttown's history is older than the Arcane Ring.

"Those people you asked me to ask, why did they stay here for a year and a half? Isn't the free mission season only three months?"

The bartender hesitated: "I don't know very well, I keep hearing people say that I basically know some of their thoughts, not the sooner the better! Especially for senior apprentices, they need an environment full of danger and pressure, some people want to consolidate their realm, some people are seeking breakthroughs, and some people are simply for profit." ”

"That's the gold coin, yes. Charlie nodded and said, "I'll ask them first, and if there are any questions left, I'll come back to you." ”

"Yes. The bartender happily put the big gold coin in his pocket, and took out 50 gold coins from his pocket to replenish it on the counter, and he kindly reminded: "However, you have to be prepared that they are generally not interested in gold coins." ”

"And what are they interested in?"

"Of course it's points, but since points can't be redeemed, it's usually bartered here, and you see if you can come up with something that interests them. ”

"You see I've just arrived, and I don't have any loot for materials, and I want to use the equipment myself, what can I take out to exchange it with them?"

The bartender thought for a moment and said, "There are also scrolls, and the more advanced the scrolls, the more popular they are." ”

"Understood!" Charlie smiled and stood up and walked towards a booth.
