Chapter 3: [Thunderwolf Adventurer Squad]
Lin Tao looked back with some annoyance to see who was laughing at him, only to find that it was a stupid big man at the next table, so he sneered and ignored him, and flipped through the booklet in his hand with relish.
Dirk saw that Lin Tao ignored him, and his voice was indeed a little abrupt, covering the originally noisy environment around him, so he felt a little embarrassed, and then he became angry, all of which was blamed on the little rabbit cub in front of him. "Hey, stinky boy, I'm talking to you, are you deaf and can't hear me?"
When the companions saw Dirk's appearance, their faces turned red, and they felt that it was a bit embarrassing to sit with such a guy, so they unconsciously moved the stool to the side, away from Dirk. Zico tugged at Dirk's sleeve a little embarrassed, and said, "I said big man, can you be quieter, sitting next to you is really a sin, and your ears will be deaf by you." Besides, don't you think you're a little nosy? Why are you so excited when others are deceived into taking care of your business, isn't it better to eat your own food? What's more, I've also read those two pamphlets, and for those rookies who have just entered the industry, they still say that they are somewhat useful, and they are not as unbearable as you say. ”
Dirk, who was on the verge of an outburst, saw Zico pull him and realized that he had gone too far. Seeing Zike's somewhat stern eyes again, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. Although Zico was full of smiles at this time, he knew that most of the time this was the disguise of his regiment leader, maybe this guy wanted to use a knife to give himself a hard time now. He clearly remembered that when the captain was verbally insulted by the boss of another adventurer's team, he didn't say a word, but the next day came the news that the boss had been stabbed to death, although there was no evidence, but Dirk was not stupid. It's better to be careful with this kind of guy who hides a knife in his smile.
Thinking of this, Dirk's originally fiery temper was like being poured on his head by a bucket of cold water, disappeared without a trace in an instant, and sat down obediently.
The other party's action made Lin Tao, who was also on the verge of an outbreak, feel a little inexplicable. But more is better than less, since others have stopped, there is absolutely no reason for me to say that I am unforgiving. Moreover, there are five people on the other side, but he is indeed alone, if it is a big trouble, he really can't resist it, so he pressed the anger in his heart at the moment and snorted coldly.
Dani put down the wine glass in her hand with some dissatisfaction, frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said, Dirk, can you restrain your damn fiery temper." Don't think that this is in the poor countryside where your birds don't, Dink Town is full of outlaws, and no one is afraid of anyone here, only the supreme strength. Don't forget that if you hadn't gotten drunk and gone crazy last time, the Captain wouldn't have had an argument with the captain of the Pias Adventurer's team, and that wouldn't have happened in the end. ”
The only beauty in the group was furious, and Dirk also felt uncomfortable, so he smiled all over his face at the moment, and quickly apologized: "Dani, Dani, I was wrong, my damn character must be restrained next time, and I must pay attention." "Dani is a woman, and very beautiful, but whoever thinks she is a gentle girl is very wrong. The women who do their work, even if they are gentle and kind, have to disguise themselves with a fierce atmosphere.
A farce slowly subsided.
The Rustler Tavern was back to its previous noisy appearance, and there was the sound of pushing glasses and changing lamps everywhere, and shouting hard. Lin Tao still enjoys this environment, although it is a little noisy, but he always feels that the blood in his whole body will be driven by the atmosphere here.
But the problem was put in front of him again, and it had been five days since he arrived in Dink Town, and he could not drag it out any longer. He must leave at least two days later and cross the Black Forest towards the other side of the Black Forest, the city of Kelsa.
Only when you get there can you be considered safe for the time being.
The city of Kailsa translates as "City of Freedom" in the Slang language. The reason for this name is that the city of Keelza is the only city in the Slang Empire that is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial and divine powers, and the imperial and divine powers are not very powerful there. Not to mention that this is rare in the Slang Empire, but also in the entire Izumo Continent. The administration of the city does not belong to the royal family, nor does it belong to the Holy See.
Undoubtedly, such an environment is the most suitable for Lin Tao, no matter what, the danger in Kailsa City is much less than in other places.
The city of Kaelsar is home to Dubai College, one of the four most famous colleges in the human world. If you want to say that the name of Dubai College is famous in the entire human world and even in the continent of Izumo, it has been famous for a long time. Its strength lies not only in the strength of the faculty, but also in the amazing people who have come out of here. Historically, there have been a generation of fighting gods who graduated from Dubai Academy, such as the fighting god Manfei, the great mage Orbis, the military wizard General Billy, and so on.
The geniuses and talents that have been born in the nearly 400-year history of Dubai College are innumerable. Its scope involves various aspects such as fighting spirit, magic, military, forging, alchemy, and economy. It is precisely in this way that the reputation and strength of Dubai College have been created. Every year, many future heirs of families and countries are sent here for further training and some unborn geniuses in all aspects.
People also see being able to study at Dubai Academy as one of the most honorable things. He wore the emblem of Dubai College on his chest, and he walked with his head held high in front of people, which could arouse the envy of the people around him.
Of course, for Lin Tao, these are the second things, or the next step should be considered. The most favorable news for him was that the administration of the city of Kailsa belonged to the Dubai Academy, and neither the emperor of the empire nor the pope of the Holy See had as much weight as the dean of the Dubai Academy in the city of Kailsa.
It was for this reason that Lin Tao's confidence in going to Kailsa City was strengthened. With autumn admissions just around the corner, being able to be lucky enough to study at Dubai College is certainly the best, and even if not, settling down in Kelsa City is a great option.
These news were all in the Rustler Tavern, Lin Tao heard about it, and he only spent a few glasses of wine to get information that seemed very important to him.
The destination has been determined, but Lin Tao has been unable to move on the road for a long time, all because of the biggest problem in front of him - the Black Forest.
Originally, his idea was to take a ride here to see if he could blend in with some not-so-strict mercenary or adventurer teams, and at worst go on the road with an ascetic. Only in this way can he have a better chance of surviving in the Black Forest, otherwise he would be no different from rushing into the Black Forest alone and sending him to death.
But alas, he waited here for a few days and didn't meet the team that was willing to take him in. You must know that most of the people who come and go to the Black Forest live a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and it is impossible for them to rashly accept an unfamiliar person into their ranks. Everyone who has ever entered the Black Forest knows the adage, "In the Black Forest, your greatest enemy is often not the powerful monster in front of you, but yourself and your companions behind you." It is precisely because of this that people will not agree to go with Lin Tao.
"Tomorrow, if I can't find any more mercenaries and adventurers willing to take me in, I'll be ready and set out on my own. In fact, a few days ago, Lin Tao had already begun to prepare to cross the Black Forest alone. In the past few days at the Lesler Tavern, getting along with the mercenaries and adventurers around him, Lin Tao has gradually learned some things that he has never been exposed to before. In any case, he used to live in a big city like Van Mill, and he didn't know much about these magical beasts and the Black Forest.
Swallowing the last piece of beef left on the plate in one gulp, Lin Tao touched his mouth, stood up, and prepared to leave the Lesler Tavern.
Just after Lin Tao left, the people of the Thunderwolf team had already finished eating and drinking. After a short rest, Zico, who was the head of the regiment, gave an order and left.
They arrived in Dink late yesterday and hadn't had much time to register with the local Adventurers' Guild. I'm going to leave tomorrow, and now I'm going to have to register with the Adventurers' Guild and find out a few things.
"Boss, do you think you will receive some high-level tasks this time, every time those low-level tasks are really boring, and the gold coins earned are too small. Dirk grumbled as he walked.
Zico glared at him with a bad look, "Do you think you are amazing, what kind of tasks do you want to take on with your status as a high-level fighter, do you want to take on S-level and SSS-level missions? I can tell you, if you don't make a breakthrough during this trip, then next time I will exclude you from the team, so that you don't drag the team back." ”
Dirk saw that his boss was really serious, and immediately laughed twice, and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Dani, the magician beauty in the team, asked, "Boss, after the completion of the last mission, our team's level should have been upgraded to C-level, right? ”
Zico nodded, "That's true, but do you think A-class missions are so easy to do? Not to mention that the mission itself has such great danger and uncertainty, and it is very difficult to complete it." Our strength is not very strong at the moment, and if we reluctantly carry out A-level tasks, we will definitely be damaged, so the gains outweigh the losses, and it is better to take one footprint at a time. The most important thing is that the higher the level, the smaller the number of missions, and even if there is, it will be snatched up by the larger teams. ”
A few people nodded, Zico was telling the truth, some valuable tasks those large teams would definitely not let go. Everyone knows that A-level tasks are the most cost-effective task groups in the task system, of course, this is only for teams that have the ability to complete A-level tasks. Although low-level tasks are not difficult to complete, then the corresponding value will be less. S-level missions, and even higher SS-level and SSS-level missions may only be one in decades, and the difficulty is also unusually large, so there is no need to risk completing them for super high mission rewards. So A-level clusters are the first target for larger teams.
Often, the larger teams have a better relationship with the association, so they will take over the task as soon as it is released.
