The next day, at 4:50 a.m.

Charlie appeared at the agreed place, the east gate of the Arcane Ring, and the entire academy was still asleep during this time, only the conscientious guards were like statues, guarding the nodes of the key passages.

Charlie's outfit is quite luxurious: the Golden Apprentice Badge, Blanche's Magic Robes, Deadwood Staff, Fringed Boots, Akoran Riptide Ring, Britz's Magic Cloak.

Carrying the Twilight Longbow, the left quiver for armor-piercing arrows, the right quiver for ordinary arrows, the spare charged magic crystal in the waist bag, and a small amount of food and drink supplies, fully armed, Charlie's consideration was very meticulous.

At five o'clock, several teasing voices came from the end of the passage.

"Qianju, are you really going to take a rookie to join the mission? Don't you know that our destination is close to the Ocean of Storms? Anything can happen over there, and when the time comes, something will happen, it's not a joke!" This rough voice is the loudest, and you can feel his physique when you listen to the voice, and there is no doubt that he is a reckless man.

"Yes, after all, the freshman didn't experience the things we did back then, and you are equivalent to directly exposing him to an extremely dangerous environment, so I'm too anxious!"

Qian Zhu tried to explain: "After all, he is a Golden Badge apprentice! The situation is really critical, and he can be teleported back, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Besides, my little brother is also a fierce man, and you have all heard of Mr. Charlie's name recently!"

"Ha! It turned out to be him! The one who even dared to insult His Highness the Fazun!"

"That's what I said, Qianju, we have been a team for so long, you should also understand my personality, in case your little brother doesn't listen to the command and interferes with our actions, I will kick him out of the team immediately, but no matter what Mr. Charlie, this is a matter of principle, don't blame me for not giving you face. ”

"Brother, you don't have to say a few words! Qianzhu has already explained. A young girl complained.

The reckless man seemed to be unsatisfied, "And one last sentence, if this guy is late, I won't wait for him!"

Soon, a group of five people appeared in Charlie's field of vision.

At the front of the team is a strong man as high as two meters, with a rough face, wearing a set of thick steel heavy helmets, holding an oval steel shield, the surface of the shield is faintly glowing, even with armor, the whole person weighs more than half a ton, every step on the ground, clang, the ground trembles slightly.

Behind the strong man was Qian Zhu with a magic staff, a petite girl, a ruthless ranger with a bow and arrow, and at the end of the group was a tall girl in a milky white robe.

Three mages, one shield guard, one ranger, three men and two women, one of the three mages specializes in light magic, serves as a healer, and is a very conventional tactical team combination, and the class mix and the ratio of men and women are quite harmonious.

Qian Zhu was quite relieved to see Charlie appear here in advance, and nodded in greeting.

Without waiting for Qianzhu's introduction, the petite girl jumped up to Charlie and said, "You are Mr. Charlie?"

Charlie nodded, "I am." ”

"It's nothing special! there's no handsome brother Qianji, and there's no domineering brother in my brother!"

Qianzhu stretched out his hand and introduced them one by one: "Charlie, this beautiful girl and this big man are brother and sister, called Brother Lancelot, you can call one of them Brother Lancelot and the other Sister Lancelot." ”

He winked at Charlie as he spoke.

Lancelot's surname is rare in the Empire, and there is only one famous name, that is, one of the Imperial Marshals, Sion Lancelot, who can be friends with a thousand people, naturally only the son of Marshal Shion.

This girl had a somewhat similar personality to Chiyuki, and she muttered, "What Sister Lancelot?! ”

"Hello Ophelia and Leon. Charlie said hello.

Leon glanced at him, and said angrily: "Charlie, this mission, I hope you will meet three requirements: watch more, talk less, and move less, which is the greatest support for us, I hope you can understand." ”

Charlie nodded silently.

Ophelia said, "Charlie, it's good for you to stand behind me, my sister is a three-star star mage." ”

"This is Vincent, nicknamed Swift Arrow. ”

"Hello Vincent. ”

Vincent gave him a cold look, "A magic apprentice carries a bow and arrows, and the quiver is quite prepared, but he doesn't consider his own ability at all, do you know how many times a well-trained archer can draw a bow in a battle?"

Charlie felt a rush of doubt, and he replied honestly: "I don't know what the standard of a well-trained archer is, I only know that I can probably pull thirteen bows myself, this is my limit!"

This is the result of a chip estimate, based on Charlie's current personal data.

"Can you pull thirteen bows in a row?!" Vincent laughed and said disdainfully: "In front of experts, bragging should also be appropriately conservative, how much strength do you have as a magician?" unless the bow you use is a toy bow used by young masters and sons for hunting, and the pulling force is less than 20 kilograms. ”

Charlie looked at the twilight longbow behind him, although this longbow worth 300 points is not a famous product, but it comes from the hand of the arcane ring bow maker, imitating the standard longbow of the forest elves, and the full bow pull is no less than 120 kilograms, which is just right for Charlie after his improved physique.

Charlie smiled, ignoring his provocation.

No wonder they misunderstood, there was indeed such a nondescript smell, what kind of bow and arrow does a magician bring? Are you here to learn magic? or are you here to put on a show?!

It's a pity that they don't understand Charlie's mentality, Charlie really wants to be involved in the battle, not just as a spectator.

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Qianqi immediately diverted the topic, "Charlie, this big beauty is called Teresa, and she is Susie's cousin. ”

"Teresa, hello. Charlie looked at the girl in front of him.

She has a perfect goose egg face, her skin is smooth and flawless, beautiful, and what is even more rare is a holy and dusty temperament, exuding a pure taste of holy light, which fully interprets the temperament and connotation of this holy light robe.

No wonder Prince Weining misses Susie and doesn't know who is more than Susie or Teresa.

Theresa bowed and said sincerely, "I thank you for Susie, Charlie, thank you very much!

Charlie smiled back: "You're welcome, it should be done." ”

This is probably the friendliest one in the entire team, except for Qianji.

Seeing Teresa's attitude, others were quite curious, especially Leon.

"Teresa, what do you want to thank him for?

"You don't ask. Teresa said softly.

Leon looked like a big brother, and was stopped by Teresa's casual remarks, he smiled, scratched his head, and closed his mouth.

Charlie vaguely saw the relationship between these people, Ophelia was in love with Qianzhi, Leon had a crush on Teresa, and Qianzhu hid his feelings very deeply and did not reveal them easily, as for Vincent, this guy is a maverick and is probably the most abnormal one in the team.

In the end, Qian Jue pushed Charlie to the middle of the line and said, "This is Charlie Pavel, my sister's good friend, the current first-year point leader, the well-known reckless man, Mr. Charlie!"

Leon smiled: "I said why did you force this kid to take him, it turned out to be your sister's favorite friend!"

Charlie doesn't refute either.

After the introduction, as the intelligent brain of the team, Qianqi made a judgment.

"So, let's go! I'll tell you the details of the mission on the way. Saying that, Qian Jue specially told Charlie: "Charlie, this should be your first time out of the city, the void tide near the academy is quite strong, you follow the center of the team, don't fall behind, there is no protective device, exposed to the void wind, the star mage can't hold out for ten seconds, let alone you as an apprentice." ”

"Understood, don't worry!"

Chiki walked up to the guard, showed his mission scroll and apprentice badge, and after receiving the guard's instructions, he led the group to stand in front of the city gate.

A moment later, the group walked out of the arcane ring, and Qian Zhu walked in the front with a copper lamp, and the rest of the people only followed, the copper lamp emitted a halo of pale yellow gradient, isolating the chaotic void wind.

Qianqi began to tell the details of the mission: "The location of this mission is the 'Fishing Fire Manor'......"

Ophelia was surprised, "Ah, isn't that the old professor's residence?"

Leon shouted: "Don't interject, let Qianzhu finish." ”

Qian continued: "Charlie may not know, that place is more special, and it is a bit complicated to say, in short, it is the retirement place of several professors who are not in tune with the mainstream faction of the college.

The owner of the manor is called 'Fabio Gonzalez', who was a mid-level manager of the academy before he fell, but was seriously injured in an accident.

After Fabio fell, he founded the Fishing Fire Manor, and lived a leisurely life by the sea, his disciples and some old people who were not very happy in the academy slowly gathered here, and more than fifty years later, the Fishing Fire Manor gradually became a leisure place for some retired old professors.

Just last week, a distress signal came from the Fishing Fire Manor, which was sent directly to the Academy's Communication Department, and after the Academy noticed it, it began to organize a rescue, only to find that the teleportation array of the Fishing Fire Manor was destroyed and could not be quickly supported.

So, after posting such a quest on the quest platform, I communicated with Leon and decided that next, this is the background of this quest. ”

All the thoughts of the people.

Charlie asked curiously: "Since he used to be the middle management of the academy, and there are old professors who have contributed to the academy, why doesn't the supreme council of the academy directly come forward to understand the situation? Such a short distance, for His Royal Highness the Venerable, can he directly teleport over, right? Why are you so indifferent to your former subordinates? and choose to send apprentices to investigate? ”

"So, that's one of the reasons why I said the situation is more complicated, Fabio is a man with a strange temperament, he relied on Mr. Ferrinand to take the position, and during his tenure there were many conflicts with his colleagues, so that later Mr. Ferrinand was reluctant to deal with him, and since then, his situation has become worse and worse."

Moreover, since he established the Fishing Fire Manor, he often made some remarks against the existing system of the Academy, calling on aspirants to join the Fishing Fire Manor, and faintly confronted the Academy, so the Academy has blocked the news of the Manor over the years.

In response, he had declared that Fishfire Manor would not welcome any of the higher-ups of the Arcane Ring.

This time, the academy defined the incident of the Fishing Fire Manor as an ordinary case and posted it on the mission platform. ”

I see, once the middle management of the academy was mixed with such a field, the loss of ability is one thing, and the main reason is personality, so it can be said that emotional intelligence is his biggest defect.

Leon made his final comment before the mission began: "In the area of the Void Nexus, the seaside has always been synonymous with danger, and fishmen, sea beasts, and Naga may all be encountered, so be mentally prepared." ”
