Chapter Seventy-Two: Valley of the Dead
In the private room, everyone sat around the dinner table and asked the boss to add two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks.
"So, you've known Francis longer than I do, so Francis is also a student at the academy now, right?" asked Randygrace with a glass of tea, but she had tea in her cup, and Francis didn't want the same thing to happen again.
"Well, I'm already a student at the Academy of Magic, and I only signed up this year!"
"yes, I'm a third-grader like us. Like when I first entered the school, I was only a second-year student, and I did a lot of hard work to get to the third grade!" Rand took a sip of his glass, he had a much better drink than Randy Grace.
"Yes, then we're in the same grade now!It's a pity that I'm from the knight class of the warrior department, and you're from the light magic class of the magic department, so we can't take classes together!" said Randy Grace happily, so that Francis could be seen in the academy as well.
"I thought Brother Francis would be in the same grade as me!" said Aisha, who was still a second-year student, dissatisfied.
"Third grade, how could I not know!" Francis picked up his glass and touched it with Ed.
"Huh!" Ed shook his head with a smile and drank the wine from his glass. "Isn't there a bulletin board at the entrance of the academy? Also, you guy, you haven't shown up since the beginning of school, and you're even more powerful than Lante, the absent king!"
"I see! I remember Rand saying that you can't skip class? So, I stayed in the library all the time. Francis drank the glass with Ed.
"Then you can't be absent on the first day!I saw you on the list and wanted to talk to you!" Rand looked at Francis with a look of you.
"Aren't we together now?" Francis and Rand clinked again.
"By the way, Francis, what about the people around you?" Ed looked at Francis, who was alone, and who was usually right behind Francis.
"Oh, do you mean Diese? They're at home! This time they came out to complete the church mission with Randy Grace, and they didn't come along!"
"Really!"
"By the way, Francis, the royal sister said that you are her boss, what is going on?"
"Francis is the white deacon of the church, and I, as a quasi-deacon, am naturally his subordinate!" said Randy Grace, looking at Francis.
"Hmm!?Deacon in White!" Ed and Randy Grace are very familiar with each other, so they naturally know that Randy Grace is only a quasi-deacon after so many tasks, so how did Francis become a white deacon.
"Hey, don't look at it like that! Francis is very strong!" Randy Grace looked at the disbelieving eyes of several people and hurriedly defended Francis.
"Meow!" Grey poked her head out of Randygrace's arms, looked at the food on the table, and jumped straight out.
"It's Grey!" Aisha greeted her kindly, trying to hug Grey, but Grey flashed over. "Like Francis's kitten, I don't even give it a hug!"
"Mistress Grey!" Ed and Rand greeted Grey politely.
"Mistress Grey!?" Francis picked up Grey on the table and looked at her, "Do you all call her that?"
"Francis!" Randy Grace was a little surprised, Grey rarely let anyone touch her except her mother.
"You guy!" I said, it's rude!" Gray snorted as she enjoyed Francis' touch.
"Grey must have seen Francis's beauty before letting him hug him!" said Aisha, unhappy at the injustice she had received.
"Oh! yes! I thought Francis was a woman at first!" Randy Grace smiled, she was really shocked this morning.
"Huh!" Ed raised his glass, hiding his embarrassment.
"Ed! what's wrong!" Obviously, Ed's small movements did not escape Rand's eyes.
"No, it's nothing!" Ed's face was a little stiff.
"I know, I know!" Aisha raised her hand and told her grandfather and Francis about the misunderstanding as if she were offering a treasure.
"Haha!" Everyone at the dinner table laughed uncontrollably, except for Ed and Francis.
"Well, the Duke is still the same...... Unexpected!ha!" Rand laughed again. "And what happened then, Lord Duke, when he found out the truth, Ed!"
"Grandpa is angry, and my brother is a punching bag!" Aisha said succinctly, recounting Ed's tragic experience, causing the crowd to burst into laughter again.
"By the way, Francis, do you have any church assignments next?" Ed watched as several people's attention shifted to his side, and quickly changed the subject.
"Probably not!" Francis turned his head to look at Randy Grace, and after receiving the affirmation, he said to Ed, "What, what's the matter?"
"We here, there is a mission of the academy, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Mission!" Francis said excitedly. In his ears, the sound of the system was heard again. "Naturally, I'm very interested in this, I don't know what kind of task it is, do you have any requirements?"
"The task that can only be taken by the third grade, the task says that at least four students can receive this task, and the points of the task are also very considerable!" Ed said the requirements of the task.
"Third grade, it's not like I can't participate!" Aisha said in frustration.
"Aren't you already on a mission?" said Ed, looking at the lost Aisha.
"That task is boring, and you're not there!"
"Then let's wait until next time we'll be with Aisha!" Randy Grace comforted Aisha.
"Don't lie to me!" Aisha said, gesturing with Randy Grace.
"The south of Yanjing is quite far from Yanjing. There's a town there, called Silaner City, but it seems to be an empty city now!A hundred years ago, it seems that there was a monster attack there, so the people in the city moved away!" Ed said as he talked about the mission.
"Monster Attack the City!" Francis and Randy Grace glanced at each other, could this mission have anything to do with that?
"If you haven't heard of this town, I'll mention the name and you'll know! On the edge of that town, there is a famous valley! ββββββValley of the Dead!"
"Valley of the Dead!" Randy Grace interrupted Eddard with a loud voice, "I've heard about this Valley of the Dead. It used to be a famous gathering place for necromancers, but then somehow it disappeared!"
"Undead!!" Francis was a little interested, in this world, he had not seen a so-called necromancer.
Rand looked at Francis's excited appearance and asked, "Francis, do you think you can meet the necromancer?"
"What's the matter!
"It's impossible, that Valley of the Dead has already been turned over by adventurers many times! Not to mention the necromancer, you can't see even a small skeleton!"
"Yes, Rand is right, you can't meet a necromancer. But the Valley of the Dead, you can go and see it, our mission location is the Valley of the Dead! Although the necromancer is invisible, there is another thing there that attracts people to the Valley of ββββββthe Dead!
"Withered Flower!!"
"Yes! A black flower, which blooms as if it has withered, and represents the flower of death. It is said that it is a flower that grows in the underworld, and it came to the world because of the summoning of the necromancer, and only the Valley of the Dead can be found in the entire continent! The most important thing is that it is a very precious alchemy item, and there are some complex alchemy techniques that need to use it! The dean of the academy, Dirigra, is an alchemist, and this task was issued by him. The reward of the task is to choose an alchemy work from the alchemy work of the dean, how about it, the alchemy work of a god-level alchemist is very attractive!"
"According to what you say, then it is estimated that many people will receive this task!"
"Yes, there are already several batches of students in the academy who have received this task! Originally, our number was not enough, but now with Francis, there are exactly four of them. Ed said happily, there were only three people even with Randy Grace, but now there are just four.
"That's the case!" Francis thought for a moment and asked, "How many of those flowers are in the Valley of the Dead?"
"I don't know very well, but I guess there will be a lot of people, after all, the value of the flower is quite high. β
"Institutions like the Mercenary Guild and the Mage Guild will definitely send people there too! Can we get those flowers?"
"It's okay, even if you can't finish it, a trip there is a long insight!"
"It's okay!" Now that I've taken all the tasks, I can't help but go!
"Francis, where are you two going?" Rand looked at Randy Grace, the royal sister did not return to the palace after completing her mission, and what were she walking outside with Francis.
"Oh! I invited Randy Grace to my house. Francis said without hesitation.
Rand looked at Randy Grace with a look of affection: "Sister Huang, has your relationship reached this point?"
"Poof!" Randy Grace wanted to take a sip of water to block Rand's gaze, but she didn't expect Rand to say such a thing, and directly squirted out the water.
"Francis, when did you start!" Rand looked at Francis, who patted Randy Grace on the shoulder again, this sister he still understood, she was arrogant, and she was definitely not fake to men. If anyone dared to behave as intimately as Francis did, I'm afraid ......
"Hehe, what are you talking about, didn't you say, we really aren't the kind of relationship you think!"
