Chapter 26: The Iron Ant Nest
Helo's eyes kept scanning and sipping through the tasks, he couldn't look down on the low-payed, and he had to think about the high-pay.
[Lunar Energy Explosion] was too long, and he had to think about the possibility of applying it to the mission.
And at this moment, there was a babbling voice in my ears:
"It's you! Vic! What a coincidence! You can also come to the quest board to claim the bounty! Last time, because it was the first class, I didn't have time to ask you for a secret book, and I looked for it several times in the next class, but I didn't see any trace of you, but I didn't expect you to come to choose a bounty so soon! β
Helo didn't have to look to know who it was.
The only one who knows and can beep so much is Byrne.
"Byrne?"
"You remember me!"
Byrne had a smile on his face.
For him, Helo was the only apprentice he could talk to since he entered the tower, and the other apprentices either annoyed him or had nothing to talk about.
But with Helo, he can talk very happily, Helo can always throw out the topics he is interested in, and can talk together!
Helo: When you meet someone who is chatting with a good match, it is possible that they are "backward compatible"!
"Have you also established a soul structure?"
Helo saw that Byrne was not just alone, he was followed by three apprentice sorcerers, a man and two women, and it seemed that Byrne suddenly broke away from the team, which made several people a little unhappy.
"Uh-huh! Because the soul coins are almost consumed, just relying on the little inventory brought by the family, it can't last long, they are all apprentices in the same period, and they plan to form a group to complete a few bounty tasks, Bick, do you want to be together? β
Helo: I didn't expect you to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you still haven't understood the bottom of the last chat, and you even have the soul coins you brought at home! Big dogs!
The outspoken Byrne directly revealed the matter of the group, and from the previous conversation, he understood that Harrow was not an apprentice with a low eye.
For two months, although he didn't know the specific situation of Helo, he was standing here at the moment, and he must have some means.
They were able to initially establish the structure in such a short period of time, and there was no reason why Helo couldn't.
"Hmm..."Helo was a little moved, he really had no experience for the first time, and he could save some trouble by forming a group, after all, everyone was in the same period, and the strength should not be much worse, so that someone would not monopolize the results.
"Hey! Byrne, you didn't even consult with us to pull people, do you know his soul arts, what if you can't cooperate with us? β
A sorceress apprentice standing in the back protested when he heard Byrne's invitation to Herlo.
Immediately, Byrne put his arm around Helo's shoulder, "Don't worry, Nia! Vic's strong! β
Byrne assured Nya as he squeezed an eyebrow at Herlo.
Helo knew that he wanted to reveal a little soul magic to himself, he didn't care about it, as long as he didn't reveal the soul circuit, everyone was from the [Moon Tower], and as long as the general soul technique was released, it could be recognized.
"The meditation method has engraved the soul, the daily basic soul technique has been fully mastered, and the [Lunar Energy Explosion] has been completely mastered."
Helo's indifferent description made Nia and the other two shut up.
In two months, he has fully mastered the basic course, engraved meditation methods, and mastered a soul technique, even if the basic knowledge of the system is not introduced, Helo can form a group by himself, and it is not a problem to take some simple clearing tasks.
"Hahahaha! I know that Bick is very strong, Nia, you still say that others, the learning progress is not as good as others! β
Byrne is always like this, although the jokes he makes are not malicious, but he always accurately penetrates people's hearts.
When Nia heard this, Xia Fei's cheeks and blushing were ashamed for a while.
"What mission do you have in mind?"
Helo didn't pursue anything, but he formed a group by himself, and he wouldn't let anyone with unknown details join, which was irresponsible for safety.
"Yes! We grabbed a bounty task with a relatively high bounty, are you interested in cooperating? If it can be completed, everyone will finally get the bounty to this amount! β
Byrne's free hand was five to Helo.
Helo nodded and said yes, "50 soul coins, it seems that the task is a bit difficult." β
With a total of five people and a total of 250 soul coins, the task of this difficulty will not be very simple.
"It's true, but if it's an apprenticeship of more than three years, it can be done independently, so it's very sought-after, and luckily this bounty appeared in front of Byrne.
For us, the benefit of forming a group is the highest. β
Nia explained, a little excited.
"Oops! Nia, don't worry about it anymore, one more person is one more insurance, and the casualty rate of the new apprentice has always been hanging in front of you. β
Byrne saw Nia's entanglement, and persuaded him impatiently.
Heloh could see what was going on.
The bounty on the wall of the task board appears randomly, and the first moment a sought-after bounty like this appears, it will be snatched away by speculators.
No wonder Byrne is the dominant one, it turns out that this cost-effective bounty was obtained by him.
The reason why Nia is entangled is also because with the addition of Helo, everyone will get less soul coins, even if Helo's progress in learning is very high, but when it comes to interests, she is still very unhappy.
'But... Byrne doesn't care, what are you calling a dog? β
Helo looked at Nia, her sunken eyes and dead eyes made her feel a little flustered, and when she first came to her mouth, she didn't have any more ideas.
Seeing that Nyoa shut up, Herlo turned to Byrne and asked kindly:
"What kind of mission is it, do you need to prepare things in advance?"
Byrne was embarrassed by the question, "Hmm... I got out of the crowd and called them over, and I haven't looked at them closely, so let's go to my dorm and discuss it. β
"Okay."
"Yes!"
Several people opened the map, chose the nearest staircase, and rushed back to the dormitory.
Heloh was a little surprised when he saw Byrne's dormitory, he didn't expect it to be so close to his room, separated by two doors.
γIron Ant Nestγ
After reading the description of the bounty, Herro immediately became curious.
"Isn't it absolutely safe within the imperial capital? A soul beast hidden in a soul beast's nest, or an iron ant, which is extremely fecund, why does it appear in the residential area of the imperial capital? β
However, looking at the above statement, it seems that the incident is not serious, and behind this reward should be the training bounty issued by the tower, and it is also within the scope of the tower, to help the apprentice as much as possible.
Of course, the description of not serious is for the Empire and the Tower, and for the Helo people, just the report on the degree of destruction in the bounty description is enough for them to drink a pot.
Assessing the strength of the iron ant, it should be a newborn nest, and the queen has not yet received enough nutrients to lay eggs on a large scale.
"The risk is not high, if a few people cooperate, they can deal with it, the key is to find the queen, if you let the queen escape, the mission will be a failure."
Nia and others analyzed.
At this time, Helo interjected: "This shouldn't be the exclusive mission of [Moon Tower], right?" β
For a while, several people woke up to the fact that all the towers would receive this kind of bounty task within the imperial capital, which was also a normal means of competition between towers.
In the process of catching the queen ant, they are sure to meet other tower apprentices.
If you're unlucky, you might come across... A ten-year apprentice?!
