A party request from a handsome guy. Accept a party request?

Seff stared at the notice curiously. "What is this for?"

He wondered why the hooligans were so obsessed with parties. It didn't seem like the right time, and Selma's screams thundered down the mountain.

Currently carving lines on a tree with his dagger. The majestic dude replied. "It's a party request."

"Have a party?"

"Not yet. We're going to make one. "After the first line was finished, the rascals carved another line, carving the shape of a small tent on the bark.

"Why?"

"Because if we're joining a party, it's going to be easier." The rogue explained. A line was drawn on the shape of the tent to form an A. "Haven't you been to a party before?"

"Here, or in real life?" Severance folded his arms.

The awesome dude stopped, a flash of surprise on his face. "No way. You don't have it at all? That's why you didn't make a request to me on the grass? “

"Uh-huh......" reluctant to admit it, Seif just shrugged his shoulders. Then he burst out laughing.

"It's okay," said the rascal. He began to carve a new line into the bark next to the A he had just finished. "Meetups are when you form a team. We can see each other's health bars, and it will be easier for us to work together. Just accept the request. You'll see. “

The team doesn't sound like a party at all. If it's a team, why don't they call it that? In Elliona, things are messy enough.

He sighed, "accent plea" he sighed. "Accept the request."

The request was accepted.

You've joined the party of the dudes.

"There, do you see that?" The handsome guy turned away from the tree. The letters AD have been engraved on the trunk of the tree forever. "Isn't that amazing? Just keep an eye on it, and if any of us need treatment, you'll know. “

Just as the rogue had said, two health bars appeared in Severance's field of vision. The first one is his own, and the second one is marked with the name "Awesome". The health bars were in the upper left corner, and while not so much of an eyesore, they clearly stayed in his field of vision wherever he looked.

He didn't like that. It's like having a fly buzzing in the upper left corner.

"Alright, let's go find her!" The awesome dude didn't wait for Severance to respond. He sped across the creek and into the woods, quickly disappearing from view.

Sev didn't notice. He's just getting used to the things of this party. He tilted his head. The party list slanted with his gaze. He closed his eyes. It's gone. But when he opened his eyes, it reappeared. To be sure, he jumped up and saw that it followed his movements no matter what.

He grimaced. What's the big deal about that? It's annoying!

While he was staring at it, the imposing dude's HP bar instantly dropped to half. Somewhere ahead, the majestic dude exclaimed.

Eyes widened. He turned around and saw no sign of the rascal, and he immediately realized that the player had wasted no time in getting himself down. Severance was not surprised. He had already witnessed this rascal's obsession with running straight to death's door. In this case, Mighty Boy needs an entire army of healers to support his habits. Sev held out a hand, and his twig staff appeared instantly. He ran after his new teammates.

He rushed through the grooves of the trees and came to the gentle slope of the hill. There, he saw the awesome Dude running back and forth up and down the hills, dodging Thelma's claws as she pursued him.

This scene gave him a headache. Still, he raised his staff and focused his attention on the rascal. "Patching."

The light vanished from the leaves of his staff and reappeared on the mighty one, though he was far away. Seve

Note that the HP bar is partially filled.

"Thank you Sev!" The handsome guy shouted. He waved his hand, not too concerned about the monster breathing around his neck.

Sef's eyes narrowed for a moment. "Patching."

The light flashes over the rogue's body, and then the damaged HP bar fills up completely. Severance had to admit that it was quite convenient to be able to see the HP bar.

There was a cheer, and the "awesome guy" was still running around like a headless chicken, completely helpless against Thelma, who was as tireless as a mad dog. Shaking his head, he switched skills. "Usain Bolt".

White energy shot out like arrows from the tip of his staff, hitting Thelma in the back. She screamed and jumped a step, but did not shake her pursuit.

"That's it!" The awesome buddy yelled, "Keep up the good work!" “！ I'll keep her away from you! “

Sev twitched, but only said, "Bolt."

It hit right between her shoulder blades. She roared like an angry cat, digging at her heels. She stopped, turned around, and cast a vicious look at him.

"You! I'll kill you! She flew towards him, outstretching her paws like a wild cat. He stepped back, tripping, arms waving. One of her hands grabbed him, her nails tearing through his shirt and making deep marks on his chest.

He didn't feel it. But he saw his health bar drop like a stone, and more than half of it disappeared in an instant. He gasped and scurried along the ground until he regained his footing. He sprinted up the hillside, and she followed.

"Hold on!" The handsome guy shouted.

The rascal stood in place, his hands folded in a strange prayer pose.

What is he doing now? Frowning, Sef took Selma around the cabin. She's getting closer.

Agility +1

Congratulations, Seve

a

ce。 You have reached level 6.

Notifications come and go, accompanied by a surge of familiar energy. Sev felt like he was a few inches ahead of Selma. He didn't have much time to sigh, he was busy trying not to die.

The rascal still didn't move. What the hell is that man doing? Now is not the time to pray! “！

"I'm going to kill you!" Thelma screamed. She tried to grab him with her claws, but her attack only cut the air between them. Severance rounded the hut twenty-third. He approached the rascal again.

The awesome dude greeted them with a huge smile. "Hey, weird lady! Eat this: Lullaby! “

He lost his balance and beckoned to the ground with his face. Oh, oops. It's over. She'll catch up now and kill the rest of his HP. He lay quietly and waited.

"Come on, hurry up!" The handsome guy sighed. "It only lasts 20 seconds, hurry up and heal!"

What is that? Sev rolled over, then sat up. Thelma stood just a few feet away from him, her head and shoulders drooping, her hands dangling, her head tilted to the side. She closed her eyes and let out a soft snort.

It was one of the weirdest things he'd ever seen.

"What is she doing?"

"I put her to sleep! The majestic dude said proudly. "I can only use it every few minutes, so you'd better hurry up before she wakes up."

Clever move. Ha, impressively, Severance stood up and quickly cast two tinkering spells on himself in a row.

When he recovered, he took a few steps back slowly, and the imposing guy put himself in front of Selma. The rascal quickly stabbed Thelma in the chest, much to the startle of Severance.

"Hey, weird lady. It's time to wake up! “

Thelma isn't afraid of stabbing? She immediately gave the mighty guy a slap in the face, destroying most of his HP in one fell swoop.

Just when he began to have a glimmer of hope in the Mighty Child's strategy, the guy had to destroy it.

He pointed his staff at the rascal. "Patching."

Thelma cried out in anger, and with a thousand of her anger went after the mighty Dodger. The hooligans also laughed and scurried on the hillside.

"Patching."

The awe-inspiring Dood takes Selma around the hills. Severance stays where he is, and every time the rogue passes by with a rampaging Selma, he casts a bolt.

It only takes a few bolts before Thelma turns her attention back to him, so it's a long, repetitive battle. The handsome guy will put her to sleep, Severance will heal, the handsome guy will wake her up, almost squashing in the process. Then, while the mighty buddies run around, Sef does all the healing and attacking work.

Finally, Thelma let out one last terrible scream and collapsed. There was silence on the hillside. Her body lay motionless and fell to the ground. Seve

CE crept closer, unsure if she was just playing the last trick or if it was really over.

A purple spot of light appeared on her body. Then another, twinkling like a tiny star. Severance leaned over to see it. It looked a bit like the purple light he saw when the bees disintegrated after he killed them.

But those lights in Selma's body were bigger and brighter, and gradually appeared, until there were too many to count. Then they burst outward, forming brilliant but silent purple sparks exploding.

Seve

ce covers his eyes and squints at the light show. When it was gone, the only thing left of Selma was a small bag on the ground and a handful of beautiful purple death sparks. They float in the sky, blinking and disappearing one by one. It's just creepy beauty.

Mission Accomplished: Make Thelma happy

See Joveli

Ms. E receives the reward.

The awesome dude bent down to pick up the small bag with the words Selma's ashes swirling on it. He threw a few shots into the air.

"Wow," he exclaimed. "They said it was a difficult task, and they were right! Good thing I'm here to help.

I don't know how the system could think that this task is done, because Selma is not happy at all. She's dead.

Wordlessly, he held out his hand.

The handsome guy tossed a bag of ashes to Severance, even though he was two feet away and could simply pass them over. They hit Severance in the chest.

Sef barely grabbed them before they hit the ground. "Thank you."

"Hey, no problem! You did very well. "The majestic guy flashed a thumbs up." For a healer. You don't have a lot of attack power, so it took a while, but you did a really good job. “

Well, the awesome guy's approach isn't much better.

He wondered if it would be possible to avoid a fight if they tried to talk to Thelma first. Then he remembered how she had been so angry as soon as she came up, and then he was deflated.

If this rascal hadn't appeared, Severance would have been killed like the rest of the clergy. This is a fact that he cannot deny.

"How the hell did you find out about this quest?" He asked.

"Huh?" The handsome guy tilted his head. "World Chat Room. A lot of players are there to share tips. This is very helpful! “

"Chat room?" Remembering it, Severance remembered that his guidebook had about it. He might want to check this out, because if there are clues about the mission.

"Anyway," the majestic fellow lamented, "I have to help my fellows with some tasks, so we'll meet again?" I definitely want to party with you again. You are a great healer! “

With that, he waved his hand and ran towards the road below. Severance watched as he left with a furrowed brow, barely noticing the dissolution of the party list a moment later. This player just left? He didn't even ask me for anything in return?

Sev brushed his hair. It's not just the gameplay elements that confuse him. And all of them.

When he returned to Lady Jovelyn, there were four clergy waiting to talk to her.

The line goes fast, only in the AGI

l paused when he got a handmade outfit from Ms. Jovelyn. She disappeared behind the screen, her head was not visible, and it took a long time for her to come out. The girls are all complicated by her new look, and Severance just wants to know if the girl is sleeping behind the screen?

It's been long enough.

Eventually, it was his turn. Lady Jovilyn greeted him warmly. "What wind has brought you here today, my dear?"

"You asked me to see Thelma," he said slowly. As if she didn't know.

Her smile never wavered, but he didn't miss the sudden flash of interest in her eyes. "Oh my gosh, yes. I almost forgot! "What happened?"

"She scolds you a lot of bad things," Seif told her, wanting to see if her good woman behavior would break down.

No. Mrs. Chorvelin was not at all surprised. "She's still holding a grudge, isn't she? I also wish she would let it go. Now that you're here, I guess you should have managed to calm her down, right? “

You mean, since I didn't come back from the dead like everyone else?

He narrowed his eyes and pulled out the bag of Thelma's ashes. "Okay, I got this."

"Oh." Her eyes widened. She lifted a trembling hand as if to reach for it, and then she thought of it, and folded her hands behind her back. "I never thought she would go that far. I'm sorry, dear. I had hoped you would have access to her. “

Seif watched her closely. He felt relieved that her expression of surprise was genuine, but that she did not show grief or despair at the death of an alleged friend. It's uncomfortable.

No matter how crazy Thelma is, she's still a living person.

"She almost killed me. She also killed a lot of other clergy. “

Ms. Jovelyn's expression calmed down and turned into a calm picture. "Yes, I know. Thelma is heavy. But she reacted well to a young man this morning, so I thought you might be able to- ah, forget it. Everything that needs to be done has been done. At least now, she can rest comfortably. “

It's true? The more he listened to her, the more suspicious he became. Thelma looks like a patient, but what does Lady Jovilyn want to do when she sends so many outsiders to her? The only thing it did was push Selma to the brink.

"Is she really your friend?" He asked.

Ms. Jovelyn just smiled softly.

"Please find a good place to put these ashes," she simply said. "I would be very grateful if you did. In addition, I will give you one last task if you wish. “

You have acquired a special item: Selma's ashes.

A special item? That's great. Now he had to take a dead man with him. Severance hid the ashes in his inventory, although he wanted to throw them into the creek as soon as possible.

"Do I have to pick flowers?" He asked unhappily.

"No," Bo

O

EO said with a frown. "No," her eyes wrinkled in the corners, with genuine joy. "And you don't have to kill bees. I promise. “

"Okay."

"Very well, dear. If you follow the path of Selma's Cottage, it will take you through the forest to the woodcutter's estate. There, you will find a child named Georgie. He is missing his parents and needs someone to help him find them. “

At least there were no flowers, but there were children again. Severance sighed. The world seems to be really rough with children. First an orphanage, and now a missing parent. What's next, kidnapping? Task received: help find Georgie's parents

Ms. Jovilyn smiled. "I'm afraid we'll have to part ways here, but if you pass through this area again, be sure to come and see, do you hear that?"

He left Assendance, paused on the bridge, and looked back at the town. As usual, it's packed with people, most of whom are players. But it wasn't they who caught his eye. It was those golden trees, and the thought of being under one of them, and he wasn't sure if he would be like that. He had mixed feelings about Ms. Jovelyn. She's not exactly the lovely aristocratic lady she presents.

He didn't know what her intentions were, and it was more troublesome. Why did she leave Thelma's ashes to him.
