Handover of the Mission
Stone Well.
The Wenli the Blacksmith had been keeping the Spider Silk tied to her wrist, suddenly felt a slight pull from the other end of the Spider Silk.
"Yes! They're back!"
In her excitement, Wenli immediately used all her strength to pull on the Spider Silk.
This pull was quite something.
They pulled the entire string of people out of the well.
The four people who had just grabbed the Spider Silk at the bottom of the well were completely unable to resist the enormous force, and their bodies were quickly pulled up.
It felt like riding a roller coaster, soaring nearly ten meters above the well opening.
Mia immediately adjusted her center of gravity in mid-air, spitting out Spider Silk that stuck to the eaves on one side, and easily swung back to the ground with the help of the Spider Silk.
Demps used a wind-based magic spell to reduce her descent speed and land safely.
Captain Abel had nothing to worry about; such a height was nothing to him, and he landed steadily without needing any deceleration measures.
Only Han Dong's situation is not good.
"Ah! Vice Captain!"
Seeing that she had made a mistake due to her excitement, the Wenli the Blacksmith suddenly screamed.
Staring at the Vice Captain who had lost his balance in mid-air, he ran towards the expected Landing Point.
Snap...
She spread her strong arms, which had clearly defined muscles, and caught Han Dong steadily.
This scene of a princess carrying someone seems somewhat incongruous.
Wen Li immediately realized something was wrong and quickly put Han Dong down.
"I'm sorry! Because the Spider Silk was broken for a long time, Dawu and I were already planning to go down and look for you."
Who knew the Spider Silk would suddenly become sensitive? In my excitement, I used too much force... By the way, Vice Captain, you're so light!
"Hehe... It's nothing."
Wenli the Blacksmith, a little embarrassed, rubbed her hands together in front of her and tentatively asked:
"Vice Captain, have you investigated the situation down the well thoroughly? Are you ready to officially begin the 'Black Hair in the Well' mission?"
"It's resolved. Let's go turn in the quest."
"Ah!!" Winry exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't this mission supposed to be very difficult?"
indeed.
Including the time it took for Han Dong to go down the well alone to check for danger at the beginning, and the time it took for the four of them to go down the well later, the whole process took less than One Hour.
Generally speaking, such a difficult task can take half a day.
Wenli had assumed that the captain and Vice Captain would conduct a comprehensive exploration of the underground space.
Once the target is identified, they will regroup and all six of them will go down the well together to eliminate the source of the black hair... Winry also wants to demonstrate her role as a "free agent".
"Winley, stop talking to the Vice Captain ... The success and speed of this mission are directly related to the Vice Captain. Let him rest for a while."
"Okay! Got it!"
Successfully dealt with [Barber Charlie].
After reuniting with Abel and Demps, Han Dong deliberately acted as if he were 'weak after a major battle'.
Abel didn't rush to ask about the details, but told Han Dong to rest well first and they would talk about it in detail after they returned to their residence.
The group then left the Stone Well area.
A black figure emerged from the shadows, his face etched with confusion.
This man was none other than Vulture Kenny, who was in charge of the squad's security.
He only caught a glimpse of Abel and Demps fighting the ' Black Hair Creation ' from outside the door.
The battle scenes taking place deeper inside are not visible.
The result was that the Crow Prophet's student and another Witchcraft Apprentice worked together to kill the "high-level evil" and complete the mission... The entire battle only took half an hour.
"Just who is this student?"
The special prosthetic eye located between his eyebrows should be related to suturing and astrology... He has devoted a great deal of effort to both disciplines, in addition to focusing most of his energy on observing this eye.
His own combat ability is probably not strong.
Could it be that this student of the [Witch- Kailonya] possesses formidable Combat Power? The two work together: one observes the weaknesses of the evil and suppresses its corruption, while the other confronts the barber head-on?
No... In terms of Combat Power, no one in this year's students should be able to compare to Abel.
Even Third Year student would need to go to great lengths to kill the barber if he were in the enemy's stronghold.
This Crow Prophet's student must be hiding something... otherwise he wouldn't have made the dangerous decision to venture deep into the barber's lair.
Am I being too simplistic? No wonder Commander Kaimon specifically named this person to serve as Vice Captain and chief of staff, assisting Abel ... This student deserves my serious attention."
Having experienced this black hair incident.
Kenny's opinion of Han Dong has changed significantly, and his attention to him has increased accordingly.
Wheat Field District - Inside a dilapidated house.
Han Dong handed over a lock of black hair taken from the body of [Barber Charlie].
The quest giver, Bardot Verratti, looked astonished, completely unable to believe that these little guys had completed this three-star difficulty quest so quickly.
Moreover, none of the six team members were injured or severely affected by pollution.
"You..."
Bardot's eyes lingered on the Mysticism Apprentice had insisted on choosing the Stone Well mission and who now appeared somewhat weak and tired.
"Aunt Bardot, shall we take on the other two basic tasks as well?" Abel asked.
"Good..."
Bardot didn't ask too many questions this time and handed out the quest scrolls for the "Strange ' Apple Tree '" and the "The Disordered Scarecrow".
"After you complete the three tasks I've provided, come and collect your rewards together."
I believe your team's Vice Captain has already realized that the "Wheat Field District" missions I'm in charge of are interconnected.
The three clues, taken together, should allow you to deduce a 'secret path' to explore Stuart Grand Manor.
"OK!"
The team left the dilapidated wooden house.
Abel asked with concern, "Nicholas, why don't you go back to the settlement and rest for a while? We'll conduct a surface exploration of these two basic tasks first, and then you can meet up with us after you've rested enough, and we'll deal with them together then."
Anyway, our progress is probably the fastest among all the teams, and we have enough time.
Han Dong waved his hand and refused. "No need... I'm just a little tired. I just need to rest a bit during the investigation."
I think it's still necessary to make the most of the time in the early stages of training.
The Third Year teams are also making good progress. Based on my observation, at least three other teams, like us, have completed their first task.
Especially in the basic quest phase, the number of quests offered by NPCs is limited.
If we fail to obtain sufficient mission intelligence rewards, we will be unable to proceed with further in-depth investigation.
Let's arrange it like this next.
Team leader, you, Demps, and Dawu are on one team.
The person in charge of investigating the scarecrow problem in the Wheat Field District... I suspect the scarecrows' movement is related to a secret hidden in the soil, Demps should be able to find out the problem quickly.
Mia, Wenli, and I were tasked with finding the ' Apple Tree '.
This type of search-based task allows me to get enough rest during the search.
"It's a bit unfair that you get both of those lovely girls, isn't it?" Abel joked deliberately.
"Haha..." Han Dong laughed awkwardly. He had no selfish motives at all; he was just allocating tasks based on their suitability.
"Just kidding, but we'll do it your way! You'd better take good care of the two girls... and contact us anytime if you need any help."
"We will strive to complete all tasks in the ' Wheat Field District ' today."
