After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

Chapter 278 Two five-star characters

"I also want to feed Captain!"

"Oh, there's really nothing we can do about Monica."

"Crack, click, click!"

Lulu sat in the corner of the sofa with a cold face, biting the fruit in half with her sharp canine teeth.

Only then did Linda remember something.

"Lulu also has a share."

He put the fruit in the palm of his hand, cut it into small pieces with a fruit knife, took out a toothpick, and handed a piece to Lulu.

Lulu's big tail swayed slightly, she opened her small mouth, and contentedly ate the fruit sent by Linda.

Linda felt ashamed.

It seems that having too many players is not necessarily a good thing.

the next day.

Although there is no holiday on this day, it is the day when the largest newspaper in Cangqing Province, Bluebird Newspaper's [Adventurer Weekly] is published.

The Adventurer Weekly has a section called [Gathering of Heroes], which will introduce which cities have had amazingly talented adventurers in the past week.

Being featured in Adventurer's Weekly is like gold-plating your resume.

The most famous adventurer schools in the Southern Fire Empire require students to have been published in the local provincial weekly newspaper at least once.

Abner, who has had this experience, once received an invitation from Qingkong University in Cangqing City, the capital of Cangqing Province.

The dean of this university is a high-level retired adventurer.

At his peak, he was famous throughout the empire.

It is said that he once served in an adventure team that was 'most promising to climb the World Tree'.

The addition of this dean further expanded the reputation of Aozora University.

After entering Aozora University, adventurers will receive professional combat training and knowledge learning.

Students who graduated from there have numerous adventure teams competing for their heads.

The most popular among them are pure output professions and scholars.

Adventure teams that have not reached the steel level are not even qualified to invite them to join.

And today, another person received an invitation from Aozora University.

The other party came from an unknown small city.

So much so that people had to look at the map for a while before they realized that this city belonged to Cangqing Province.

That person's title is [Eye of True Knowledge] and his name is Linda.

He is currently the captain of the rock-level adventure team and the Luanweihua Adventure Team.

It is worth noting that this invitation from Aozora University was not sent by the admissions department, but by the beautiful and cool dean himself!

This has puzzled many people, especially the local adventurers in Cangqing City.

They regard themselves as "lords" within the province. Looking at the entire empire, Cangqing City is also ranked high. Small places like Baige City are similar to backward rural areas in the eyes of people in Cangqing City.

An adventurer from a small village cannot jump too high no matter how high he jumps.

Being invited by the admissions department of Aozora University would make eight generations of my ancestors happy.

But it happened to be Baige City.

Adventurers from other places don’t have deep memories of this city, but almost all the locals in Cangqing City have heard of it.

For no other reason than the Admissions Department of Aozora University, they once sent an invitation to Abner, the leader of the White Pigeon Adventure Group.

But was rejected by Abner.

The mentality of the adventurers in Cangqing City is: How dare you?

The opportunity to ascend to heaven was placed before you, but you were rejected?

There is a joke among adventurers: Now Shiroganeshi will be on the blacklist of Aozora University, and no one will be able to enroll in it in the future.

结果

Aozora University once again extended an invitation.

The difference is that this time the invitation was issued by the dean himself!

Since joining the job, the dean has been indifferent to the admissions process and has given full authority to the admissions department.

Unexpectedly, an adventurer named Linda from Baige City made an exception and issued an invitation.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, who was this Linda that could be invited by the dean himself?

Adventurer Weekly thoughtfully posted Linda’s portrait below and introduced his deeds.

Everyone who can be on the [Gathering of Heroes] section must have some extraordinary achievements. For those who have no record, no matter how many gold coins they spend, they will not be published in the Adventurer Weekly.

In the tavern, a Khajiit girl with short fiery red hair, round animal ears, and a black and white patterned tail was eating a plump pig leg with her sharp teeth while looking at the newspaper in her hand.

"It's been more than a month since I came out to practice. They should be fine in the underworld, right?"

The red-haired Khajiit girl only wore an animal skin tube top and shorts, revealing healthy wheat-colored skin. Her waist was slender and flexible, and the outline of her abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen.

The girl sat on the chair with her legs spread wide, not minding the leering glances of the people around her.

Her name is Tai Ge, the leader of the Chaoyang-level adventure group and the Dark Flame adventure group.

Tago originally came to ask the dean of Aozora University some questions, but he was attracted by the rich adventurous atmosphere here and planned to stay for a few months before returning to Black Mamba City.

With the fluffy tiger tail wrapped around her waist, the girl took a bite of the roasted pork leg with relish, flattened the newspaper and looked at it intently.

[Adventurer Linda, 23 years old, is currently the captain of Luanweihua Adventure. He is mature and steady, treats others gently, has an excellent reputation, has excellent shield skills, and a very high life barrier thickness, and is good at standing in front and resisting monsters]

[Occupation: Recovery Warlock. Positioning: Auxiliary]

Tago:?

The girl blinked in confusion.

I even forgot to eat my favorite roasted pork leg.

If I read correctly, this Linda is the assistant?

But what he is best at is fighting monsters from the front?

Why don't you say that the elves are never obscene?

There are also clerical errors in Adventurer Weekly.

Tago laughed, took a bite of the roasted pork leg, and continued to look down.

A reporter from Adventurer Weekly wrote about Linda’s achievements.

[One: Good at making detailed strategies, effectively reducing the casualties of low-level adventurers. 】

[Second: Performed well in the monster wave outbreak in Baige City, and killed the level 20 orange monster Red-armored Crab King on the premise that the average level of the team was more than ten. 】

[Third: Not long ago, we defeated the two-star epic monster, the Goblin Prince! At this time, the average level of Linda's team was only 24. 】

[Fourth: Become the first person in the history of Cangqing Province to kill a star-level adventurer with a strength below level 30 in a head-on duel!

(Note: Judging from the information sent by reporters in Baige City, this duel contained many elements of trickery, but Linda’s strong personal strength cannot be denied!)]

Based on the above four points, Adventurer Weekly decided to put Linda on the cover of this week's Heroes Gathering section.

The cover image was provided by Kami, the editor-in-chief of White Dove Newspaper.

A back view of Linda holding a bloody sword and killing the red-armored Crab King amid the tide of monsters.

Tai Ge secretly nodded, thinking that this performance was indeed fierce. Baige City was considered a relatively poor city in the entire Cangqing Province, but it was really lucky to have such a talent.

"Shield skills are quite rare. It would be great if you could join my Dark Flame adventure group."

"But if Aozora University takes action, it's probably out of the question."

"Linda. Could it be that that old loli made an exception and invited Baige City because of this name? I heard that Baige City is on the blacklist of Aozora University."

Tago thought of a petite girl with long silver hair and a lazy and noble temperament he had seen not long ago, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.

She didn't think that man would be interested in a man other than the Dark Shadow.

After all, one of the most favored team members of the Dark Shadow is the opponent.

Although Taigo is also called a "five-star character" by the Shadow of Darkness, there are also strengths and weaknesses among the five stars. Even if Taigo is a tiger tribe and has tiger courage, he dare not say that he can defeat the opponent.    "It would be fun if this Linda was the shadow of darkness."

"It's a pity that the words 'gentle to others and excellent in reputation' cannot appear on the dark shadow."

"Indifference and ruthlessness, this is the shadow of darkness."

Tago read the Adventurer's Weekly and threw it into the trash can at his feet.

She was in no hurry to go back to Black Mamba City.

The adventurous atmosphere in Cangqing City is so strong that Tago even wants to work here, save money to buy a villa, and move the entire Dark Flame adventure group here.

“Where can I get the money?”

Tiger's mind is not very bright, and all he can think of is fighting.

"Miss, do you want to cooperate with me?"

A pink-haired girl walked up to Tago.

The girl wore thick black-rimmed glasses and held a book. She looked very artistic.

"You are?" Tago smelled a hint of threat from this person.

"A common, passing traveling adventurer."

Xilin tilted her little head and smiled coquettishly.

In the evening, the sky is filled with stars.

A celebration banquet was held in the reception room of the White Pigeon Adventure Group villa.

The protagonist of this celebration banquet is the Luanweihua Adventure Team.

Under the warm lights, the aroma of fine wine and delicacies was refreshing, and everyone was laughing and laughing.

On the huge crystal round table, President Wilen was sitting at the top, his cheeks rosy and glowing after drinking.

On his left and right are Linda and Abner respectively.

Opposite them was Mayor Adel, with members of Luanweihua and White Dove on both sides.

Linda was a little flattered by this seating arrangement.

On the left and right sides of President Viren, there is the metaphor of the most distinguished guest. How can any rock-level captain usually sit in this place?

Linda herself is not an adventurer who likes to be in the limelight, so sitting here will inevitably make her butt feel hot.

President Viren noticed his embarrassment, raised the Adventurer's Weekly in his hand, and laughed:

"Linda, you are the glory of our Baige City, and you deserve to sit here!"

"Except for Abner, White Pigeon City has not been featured in Adventurer Weekly for several years! Look, even the famous Aozong University in the province has invited you, and the dean personally invited you!"

Abner raised his glass and said concisely: "Linda, congratulations."

Linda did not neglect him. He respected the leader of the Bai Ge regiment who had helped him many times.

He raised his ale glass with both hands and drank it down.

Tasia stood behind Linda and poured wine, while Lulu frowned and whispered: "Drink less. Didn't I agree to choose a yukata?"

Linda shivered.

I almost forgot about this.

It's almost Winter's Day.

According to the custom of the Southern Fire Empire, adventurers will change into yukata and watch the fireworks display.

The meaning of changing into a yukata is to wash away the bloody smell accumulated in the body this year, watch the fireworks with your companions in a pure body, and receive the blessing of the goddess of the world tree.

Linda and the others didn't have yukata, so they made an appointment to go shopping together at the store tonight.

He nodded quietly to Lulu, indicating that he understood.

But President Weilun's kindness was hard to refuse, and Linda couldn't help but ask Lulu to stop her drinking.

Mayor Adel lamented: "The Adventure Committee of Cangqing City has already known about the fact that Luanweihua has appeared in the Adventurer Weekly. The notice came an hour ago. Starting from this month, all rock-level teams will receive monthly rewards." The adventure subsidy has increased from 3 bronze-level World Tree Fruits to 5, and the steel-level has also increased from 3 to 5 silver-level fruits.”

Each silver tree fruit is worth 1 gold coins, and there are two more. This subsidy is not insignificant.

Gale joked: "Linda, even the Ghost Adventure Group has to thank you."

"It's good if they don't curse me. Thank you." Linda smiled.

At this moment, Herus is probably in prison, crying for Cam.

During the Winter Festival, you can only watch the fireworks display through the bars.

"Linda, do you have any ideas about the invitation from Blue Sky University?" Velen asked expectantly.

Linda was not in a hurry to answer, but first looked at Abner, a little curious: "Why did Captain Abner reject the invitation from Aozora University?"

Objectively speaking, accepting the invitation from Aozora University is a very beneficial act.

The best adventure resources in the province, personal guidance and training by famous teachers, and professional knowledge. Qingzong University is equivalent to the famous 985 college. If one person is admitted, the whole family will be proud.

Everyone looked at Abner, feeling as if they were being scratched by a cat.

Yes, why did Abner reject Aozora University at that time?

Under the doubtful glances, Abner opened his eyes slightly.

This quiet adventurer with long light blue hair tied into a ponytail looked silently at the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him. Through the windows, he could see the World Tree shining with emerald green light under the night sky.

"Because of the existence of [the door] on the 19th floor of Baige City. If the door is still there, Baige City may never be able to have a Chaoyang-level adventure group."

"I want to break that door with my own hands."

Abner's voice was gentle, but the firmness and determination in his tone were awe-inspiring.

With Abner's strength, the World Tree in other cities would have already reached level 40 and become a moon-level adventurer.

Abner stayed behind because he wanted to defeat the nightmare guardian known as the [Gate] located on the 19th floor of White Pigeon City.

The Nightmare Guardian is stronger than the Hidden Monster.

It is a trial that the World Tree Goddess randomly sends down from time to time.

Before this trial is cleared, all adventure teams that enter the 19th floor of the World Tree in Baige City will encounter the Nightmare Guardian.

If the door continues to exist, it will greatly affect the future of the adventurers in White Pigeon City.

In the future, many adventure teams may choose to change their adventure hometown after reaching the 19th floor and settle in Heart City or Nanyan City, resulting in the continuous loss of powerful adventurers in White Pigeon City.

Of course, there is another way. The official spends a lot of money to hire outstanding adventure teams from other cities to help their own city defeat the Nightmare Guardian.

But in that case, the adventurers and officials of White Pigeon City will be despised by the entire empire - a city that can't even train an adventure team to defeat the Nightmare Guardian certainly doesn't need the empire's resources, right?

Your local officials will never get promoted in this life!

The overall atmosphere of the Secret Continent is that of the weak and the strong.

The strong become stronger and the weak become weaker.

The reason why Abner rejected Aozora University was to put it bluntly, for two reasons. One was to challenge the Nightmare Guardian, and the other was to repay President Velen for taking him in.

Abner once became a wandering adventurer due to the tide of monsters. President Velen accepted him and let him lead the White Pigeon Adventure Group.

Therefore, Abner would rather give up the tempting invitation from Aozong University and stay in Baige City.

"So, what about you, Linda? I think you should agree to Aozora University's invitation."

　Let me tell you, before, some people seemed to think that there were only three five-stars. What I actually meant was that there were three five-stars for 100 favorable impressions, and there were more five-stars for the other five-stars.

　　Of course I won’t write them all down, just focus on the representative ones.
