The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 79 Mission
"How are you thinking? Your Excellency Kyle."

Opposite, Mason said softly.

"I want to take on this mission."

Sauron nodded slightly, and looked at a mission message. When Mason saw it, a strange look appeared on his face.

【Task Nineteen】

[Go to the dark sea of ​​trees to hunt the harpies. This mission is led by the third-level apprentice Boka. There is currently one vacant teammate. The mission reward: fifty magic stones. Remarks: This mission is highly dangerous. Participants please Think carefully. 】

【Publisher: Polkadot】

There are many tasks released by the Dayfire Tavern, but most of them can be completed alone, and there are very few tasks that require a team.

And this mission of hunting the harpies was led by the publisher Polka team.

Therefore, by choosing this task, Sauron can not only get fifty magic stones as a reward, but also get the opportunity to contact other wizard apprentices.

This point is very important to Sauron.

After all, the current him has just stepped into the world of wizards, and he is unfamiliar with most things.

Only by getting in touch with other extraordinary people can Sauron learn more about the wizarding world.

"Your Excellency Kyle, are you sure you want to take this mission?"

On the opposite side, Mason reminded: "With all due respect, the harpies in the dark sea of ​​trees are not so easy to hunt."

"If you face it alone, you have to be at least a third-level apprentice to have a chance."

"Although this mission was completed in a team of six, as far as I know, not all members seem to be wizard apprentices."

Sauron frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's literally."

Mason said calmly, "The Harpy hunting team currently has five members, and only two of them received the mission through the Dayfire Tavern."

"As for the other three, apart from the mission issuer Poka, the remaining two are his followers."

"It is said that they are two senior knights."

Hearing Mason's words, Sauron was thoughtful.

Since this trip to the Dark Tree Sea is a team mission, the publisher Boka plans to form a team of six, but it is not easy to recruit five wizard apprentices, so he also counted two senior knights in the team among the members.

And those two senior knights are followers of Polkadot.

"Isn't there still this Polkadot?"

Sauron pondered for a moment, pointed to the mission information and said, the person who announced this mission is also the commander of the team, the third-level apprentice Boka.

Just now Mason said that to deal with the Harpy, one must be a third-level apprentice.

And this Boka happened to be a third-level apprentice. With him leading the team, and with everyone's assistance, it shouldn't be difficult to hunt down a harpies.

"Porca... is not an ordinary third-level apprentice."

Mason showed a strange face, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Boka, although he is a third-level apprentice, he majors in Potions."

"Therefore, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, it cannot be calculated as a normal third-level apprentice."

There was a flash of surprise in Sauron's eyes.

No wonder Mason made himself think carefully. It turned out that the person who issued this mission was a third-level apprentice majoring in Potions.

Compared with other third-level apprentices, their combat power is naturally weaker.

This is equivalent to the difference between [Soldier] and [Doctor].

"Thank you Mason for reminding me."

Sauron nodded, and said, "However, I have already considered it. Please help me contact Mr. Polka."

"Ok."

Mason nodded, and immediately stopped persuading him. He gave Sauron an address and told him to contact Polkadot directly.

Afterwards, Sauron left the Dayfire Tavern.

Arriving at a manor, Sauron explained his intentions. Under the leadership of his servants, he met Boka, the publisher of Mission Nineteen.

"Hello, Your Excellency Polka," Sauron said.

A third-level apprentice named Boka looks middle-aged, with black hair tied together, wearing a gray-white robe, with a monocle in his left eye, and a black cane in his hand. If he didn't know the identity of the other party in advance , Sauron might think that the other party is a nobleman.

"You want to join my mission?"

Boka looked at Sauron, his voice was a bit hoarse, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know, how is your strength?"

The task of hunting the Harpies is no small matter.

Even Boka, who is a third-level apprentice, is not sure that he can deal with the Harpy alone, so he issued a mission to recruit teammates.

Since the mission was released, many people have approached Polkadot.

However, the vast majority of people cannot meet Polkadot's requirements, and even if they join the team, they will probably only be delayed.

In half a month, only two people were recognized by Polkadot.

"My name is Kyle, and I am a senior knight."

Sauron looked calm, but he didn't show his real strength, he just told Boka about his knighthood.

"……and then?"

Boka frowned slightly. Seeing that Sauron did not continue to speak, his face was slightly cold, and he said: "Don't tell me, you are just a high-ranking knight!"

Sauron nodded slightly.

"Get out, don't let me do it."

Boka had no expression on his face, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone.

The mission to go to the dark tree sea to hunt the harpies had already been released by Polka in the Dayfire Tavern half a month ago.

And within half a month, he also 'interviewed' many people.

However, even a few wizard apprentices can't meet Polkadot's standard. It's a little ignorant that this young knight in front of him is trying to join his team in vain.

"Your Excellency Polka, there is no need to be angry."

Sauron looked calm and said indifferently: "As far as I know, your team already has five members for this mission to the Dark Tree Sea."

"Among them, two are senior knights."

"Since they can join your team, why don't they consider me?"

Hearing Sauron's words, Boka sneered.

"Humph!"

He snorted softly and said with a sneer, "Do you think that anyone is eligible to join my team?"

"Bert and Erb are both high-level knights trained by me."

"Their strength is naturally qualified to go to the dark tree sea. As for you..."

Before Boka finished speaking, Sauron suddenly pulled out the cross sword.

Around, several guards of the manor stepped forward one after another. It seemed that Sauron could be directly captured as long as Boka gave an order.

However, Polka raised his hand and signaled everyone to back down.

"What does it mean?"

Boka raised his eyebrows, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

"Since Your Excellency Polka thinks that I am not qualified to join your team, why not give it a try?" Sauron said with a smile on his face.

"If I can defeat your knights, does that mean that I can also go to the dark sea of ​​trees?"
