The villain just wants to go offline

Chapter 80 Brave! Brave!

Cresse City.

The second floor of a hotel is where the Gray Ax Adventure Group resides.

In the room, the team leader Bard and the team members were discussing taking over the mission. At this time, the archer Aaron brought the recently released mission from the adventurer.

Looking at the familiar appearance of the monster on the mission, it was the "Eating Wild Wolf King" that the Gray Ax Adventure Group had previously planned to defeat.

"After all this time, has this evil-eating wild wolf king not been defeated yet?"

Bud picked up the task sheet, looked at the portrait on it, and pinched the beard on his face.

"No, after disappearing for so long, the Adventurer's Guild had planned to take the mission off the shelves, acknowledging that the Evil-Eating Wolf King had been defeated, but recently there was news that the Evil-Eating Wolf King destroyed a village. The Adventurer's Guild Then the crusade mission was put back on the shelves and the bounty was increased.”

As the archer in the team, Aaron is also responsible for accepting missions. I heard him continue: "The strength of the Evil-eating Wolf King is close to C-level at the highest level of D-level, and in the newly released Among the tasks, it is the most cost-effective task. Besides, we have already prepared for the opponent to eat the Wolf King before, so it is easier to prepare. I have already asked Leo to purchase supplies. If there is no problem, we can rest for the night. , we’ll leave tomorrow.”

"After all, the Evil-Eating Wild Wolf King won't stay in one place for too long, waiting for someone to attack him."

"..."

The members of the Gray Ax Adventure Group surrounding the long table began to think one by one. Soon their eyes fell on the group leader, Bard, and they were waiting for Bard to make a decision.

As the leader of the adventure group, Bud is very careful every time he takes on a mission. After all, every mission may endanger everyone's lives, and if he makes a mistake in judgment, the whole army will be annihilated.

Bud thought for a moment, slapped his hand on the table, and yelled, "Okay?"

"We have accepted this mission. Aaron, you should go to the Adventurer's Guild to take over the mission now, so as not to be attacked first!"

"Haha, I knew the group leader would agree."

Aaron laughed, turned his fingers, and a card appeared deftly in his hand: "I got the mission card back when I went to see the mission. Such a good mission cannot be taken advantage of by others!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Soon laughter echoed in the room, and everyone grabbed Allen's neck and pointed.

"You kid, it's true that you dare to take over the task without the leader even saying anything. You really don't take the leader seriously."

"Captain, you should also talk about this kid!"

"Those who didn't know better thought he was the group leader!"

"I'm a military advisor, okay? There are so many easy tasks with high bounties without what I got!"

Aaron curled his lips and retorted.

But from the laughter of everyone, we knew that this was just a joke.

Even Bard, the leader of the group, didn't pay much attention to Aaron's overbearing behavior. He was a big boss and didn't have so much red tape. This is the boldness of being an adventurer.

Everyone quickly became involved.

"By the way, Captain, are we still bringing that boy Leo with us this time?"

There was nothing objectionable from Aaron's tone. Although he acted indifferently, he couldn't help but said worriedly: "Although Leo usually follows the team to clean up the battlefield, he is a very good logistics worker. Damn the Wolf King." It’s the monster that destroyed his family. I’m afraid that during the battle, he won’t be able to help but attack because of his anger and push the team back.”

"Although with the strength of our Gray Ax Adventure Group, we won't be defeated miserably against the evil-eating Wolf King, we still need to be careful at every step, and there is no room for any mistakes."

Aaron's words also reminded Bud.

Bud pinched his Viking-like beard and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about the pros and cons of what Aaron said.

Bringing Leo as a logistics member to the Gray Ax Adventure Team can save a lot of worry. At the same time, he can also see that Leo has good combat power, but he is depressed and unhappy due to unknown stimulation. He also wants Leo to return to his original life. Glow your fighting spirit and become a part of the Gray Ax Adventure Group.

Then again.

"Aaron is right, I can't joke with my brothers' lives, so..."

Just when Bud was about to say that he would not take Leo with him on this mission, the door was knocked open and Leo's figure flashed in and appeared in everyone's sight.

"Captain, I want to go..."

After purchasing the supplies, Leo, who met Elsa again on the way, came back and overheard the Gray Ax Adventure Group's combat meeting at the door.

When he heard that the target of this mission was the Evil Wolf King, Leo knew that he had a chance to take revenge, and at the same time, he could upgrade and become stronger.

But hearing that Bard was going to bring his own end to this mission, Leo couldn't sit still, so he rushed in.

"...This time I will participate in this mission as a combatant!"

Leo's eyes were firm, sweeping away the melancholy and decadence of the previous few days. At this moment, he was full of energy and looked directly at the leader Bud.

Looking into Leo's firm eyes, Bud seemed to see himself who wanted to work hard to become stronger.

Although he didn't know what happened in the middle, Bud saw that Leo had regained his energy, and he felt that he had seen the wrong person.

"it is good!"

Bud stood up and accepted Leo's idea of ​​joining us to defeat the Evil Wolf King. He changed the subject and said, "But I have one condition. You can only follow me as a support staff and cannot do anything unnecessary." .”

"You usually do logistical tasks. You are not familiar with the fighting methods of the Gray Ax Adventure Group, and it is easy to disrupt our attack rhythm."

"I have gone through many crusade missions with you, and I can also integrate..."

Leo retorted unwillingly.

"no!"

Bard sternly refused, leaving no room for Leo to slow down at all, and said: "If you can agree, then follow us. If you can't agree, then you can stay at the station to look after the house for this mission."

"I can't make fun of everyone's lives just because of you."

"it is good……"

Leo loosened his clenched fists, understanding Bard's concerns. If he wanted to avenge the people in the village, he could only follow Bard and the others.

Because Valen's voice rang in Leo's mind: "The Evil Wolf King is not weak and has the ability to summon wolves. It will be difficult for you to deal with it alone. You need companions!"

After the meeting was decided, everyone in the Gray Ax Adventure Group went back to rest.

Before leaving, Bud patted Leo on the shoulder.

After Leo organized the supplies for tomorrow's departure, he returned to the room, but couldn't fall asleep. He lay on the bed and chatted with Valen.

"Valen, I want to become stronger, but I feel that the road in front of me is dark. Can you tell me how I should go in the future!"

Although Leo has found his will to become stronger, he still cannot see the light.

As the hero's guide, Valen naturally stood up to answer the confused hero's questions and said, "When you come back from this crusade, I suggest you go to the black market to buy some slaves!"

"In this way, you can form a team of your own for the time being, and you won't have to rely on the people from the Gray Ax Adventure Group when you go out to hunt monsters."

"Slaves are something that is clearly prohibited by the empire."

Leo wondered.

"..."

Valen wanted to say, "It's not like you, a brave warrior, are so useless that you can't even find a partner. Otherwise, how could I recommend you to find a slave who spends money!"

That's what he thought, but Valen didn't dare to say anything to attack this brave man who finally got out of the trough, and continued talking about buying slaves.

"It's forbidden, but it can't be avoided. Wasn't your childhood sweetheart kidnapped by the nobles and made into a slave... Well..." Warren, who realized what he said wrongly and said the wrong thing, stabbed Leo in the heart. Pot, hurriedly changed his words: "... Judging from the information I have collected in daily life, the Bond family has great ambitions. It is not a big secret that they are backed by the richest man in the empire. There are also rumors that the largest slave-catching team and underground slave market are both It is the Bond family's property and is an absolute cancer of the empire."

Soon Warren's words turned the spotlight from heartbreaking to the Bond family.

Only by establishing a strong enough enemy can Leo have a goal and direction to become stronger and work hard in this direction.

"Bond, Miles Bond, the Bond family captured Elsa, enslaved Elsa, brainwashed Elsa, and made Elsa see me as a stranger."

Leo's eyes were full of hatred, but in Valen's opinion, this hatred could quickly be transformed into motivation to become stronger.

"Bond family, damn it, only by becoming stronger and destroying the Bond family can we save Elsa!"

"That's right!"

Valen continued to channel the anger in Leo's heart, but he was somewhat speechless at how this year's brave men were only thinking about women and had no future at all.

Those who say they are brave are all idiots who care about their family and country.

Thinking on the bright side, Valen has found a different kind of brave man. Maybe a different kind of brave man can be a turning point.

"Standing still will not change the outcome after all. It will only be similar reincarnations one after another. It is up to you to break this curse-like reincarnation, Leo!"

Valen also re-examined this class of warriors: "Maybe it can really create miracles!"

Valen has done everything he can, and the rest of the way is left to the brave man himself.

Leo also calmed down after the emotional turmoil and fell asleep.

.........

the next day.

As a logistics member of the Gray Ax Adventure Group, Leo habitually got up early to pack up supplies.

No one who is a brave man turns himself into a handyman.

As the members of the Gray Ax Adventure Group gathered and met downstairs, Leo followed the team out of the city carrying a huge luggage.

By the way.

Even though there are magic backpacks that can store items everywhere around Miles, it seems like everyone can afford them.

In fact, the premise of a rare storage method like a magic backpack is that it will be circulated on the market, and then you must have enough money to buy it.

And even an adventure group with some strength like the Gray Ax Adventure Group can't afford it, but if they buy a magic backpack, they may not even be able to afford the recovery potion for the next battle.

Therefore, generally adventure groups will recruit a logistics staff like Leo, who is responsible for following the team to decompose the corpses of monsters and collect useful materials.

Convenient and cheaper than a magic backpack.

Back to topic.

The Gray Ax Adventure Group left the city of Cresai all the way, and like most adventurers, hurried out of the city.

Among the group of adventurers, there are not a few small and medium-sized adventure groups like the Gray Ax Adventure Group.

But what no one noticed was a little tail hanging behind.

When the knight guarding the gate saw a mouse hiding its head and tail, it was natural that he would step forward to question it.

However, when the man lifted his collar and proudly revealed the badge representing the Bond family's identification, the expressions of the two gatekeeper knights changed.

"Pooh!"

The two knights obviously looked down upon him, but they didn't feel embarrassed. They returned to their posts as if nothing had happened. Then they heard one of the knights muttering: "It's just a dog."

"Humph."

The man only thought that these knights guarding the gate were envious, as if it was an honor to be Bond's dog.

When this adventurer dressed as an assassin glanced at the Gray Ax adventure group that was retreating, or to be precise, the logistics staff hanging behind the team, his eyes hidden under the hood kept changing.

"This is the target that Master Miles is targeting. If I can report first-hand information to Master, I will definitely get a lot of rewards!"

With the idea of ​​holding all the rewards in his arms, it seemed that the solid spy sent by Miles did not say anything or report, and followed him stupidly.

Just ideas are often good ones.

After entering the monster forest, the adventurer who was sent to monitor just followed the Gray Ax adventure group. Not long after, he saw the target character voluntarily leaving the group.

Because the order received was not to assassinate, but to monitor and report the whereabouts.

So this person was just hiding in the dark and watching.

"...Where are the people!?"

In just a blink of an eye, I looked at the figure that had lost its target.

"You...are looking for me!?"

The sudden voice behind him made the adventurer dressed as an assassin tense up and subconsciously wanted to dodge and change seasons.

But it's too late.

Stab it!

A long sword penetrated the man's chest without any explanation, and fell from the tree branch, revealing Leo's figure.

Leo withdrew his backstab sword. He had almost died from being stabbed in the back, and he seemed to like the attack method of stabbing others in the back.

"Backstabbing sword?"

Holy Sword Valentine said: "When did I change my name? How come I didn't know?"

Leo, who had experienced life and death, seemed to have nothing that could shake his heart except getting stronger. Even the first time he killed someone, he didn't feel any discomfort.

No matter how uncomfortable you are, there will be no pain like hiding under the wall and listening to the cries of your childhood sweetheart.

"Who is this person? Why is he hostile to me and why is he spying on me?"

Leo asked confusedly to Valen who reminded him.

"I don't know, but who will pay attention to you? Not many people know your true identity, except..."

Warren's sword trembled, as if he thought of something or someone.

If Valen remembers correctly, the childhood sweetheart Leo met in the Elf Courtyard should be occupied by another soul.

And those who can recognize themselves as the Holy Sword are naturally those who have experienced the Holy War.

He will know the identity of the hero and help.

"broken!"

At first, he didn’t think too much about it. In addition, he discovered that someone was secretly watching him this time. After realizing it later, Warren said seriously: "Leo..."

"...Your identity may have been exposed!"
