Ryan's Sword

Chapter 64 No.60 Four Acts of Exploration
When the battle for the last place in the adventure group started, the last teammate that Renekton was pointing at at that time, the black-haired youth, finally calmly entered the field.

This black-haired fighter professional didn't show a single bit of excellence in the three battles he fought, and he even looked no different from an ordinary peak white-rank fighter.However, his three opponents felt an indescribable sense of restraint during the battle - whenever they wanted to attack, this ruthless black-haired youth would always be the first to attack and force them Get back on the defensive side.

This is clearly a situation that only occurs when the attack speed and strength attributes are completely suppressed, but most of the audience outside the field can't feel this, only watching three fierce battles with relatively balanced strength.In this way, the black-haired young man who appeared last defeated the three challengers in a regular manner with the strength that a peak white-rank fighter should have.

However, in Ian's eyes, this is not the case at all!

As early as when the black-haired young man shot, Ian discovered three places where the magic power fluctuated obviously on his body.

The unique fluctuations of these three pieces of magic equipment come from the old necklace on his neck, the simple bracelet on his left wrist, and the dusty ashlar on his right hand, which is almost the same style as the other two pieces of jewelry. ring.

Ian quickly recalled that these three pieces of magic equipment, which were basically the same in style, were a very famous set of jewelry in the novice stage.This set of jewelry is named after the gray ashlar it is inlaid with. The full names are "Old Limestone Necklace (Jewelry/Necklace/Excellence)", "Dusty Limestone Bracelet (Jewelry/Bracelet/Excellence)" and "Dark Limestone Rings (Jewelry/Ring/Excellence)", while players are more used to calling them "Limestone Sets".This set of jewelry does not have the most common magic defense ability of jewelry equipment, but it can provide quite a good melee ability bonus, which is extremely useful for white-level or even iron-level melee occupations.

Jewelry is a rare item in the early stage of the game, let alone this set of jewelry with excellent quality.Even in the later stages of the game, this set of outdated low-level jewelry is used by old players to show their coolness when chatting and bragging, and even local tyrants who missed that period of the game are willing to spend huge sums of money to buy from old players for collection , its value in the early game can be seen.

Because of this, Ian, who watched the dark-haired youth gain the last place in the adventure group, couldn't help but sneered in his heart——

Very good, what a "lone travel" team, and none of them is fuel-efficient!

In this way, all four members of the lone team that Ian had seen all joined the adventure group, and the selection ended with the team winning a big victory.At the same time, due to this additional selection, the temple exploration originally scheduled to start in the morning was postponed to the afternoon.The twenty new adventurers who joined the adventure group also entered different teams under the assignment of the leader Rengar, and the period from the end of the selection to the lunch time was considered as the running-in period for each team to get acquainted with each other.

According to the arrangement of the adventure group, the white team led by Ian also added three new members, one of whom was the thief Black Fox who shocked the audience during the selection.The other members of the team were in awe of this thief with outstanding stealth ability, and Lilith, who was pure in heart, even regarded this powerful thief full of mystery as an idol.

At this time, there was still some time before lunch, and Ian waved his hand and led the team to an empty corner on the north side of the camp.

In fact, with the exception of Black Fox, the two new members of the team were quite puzzled by Ian's identity as the captain—all of them were adventurers at the peak of the White Rank, including a powerful stalker, no matter what No matter how you calculate it, it's not Ian's turn to be the captain of this little guy who looks immature and whose strength is only in the middle of the white rank.However, they were all adventurers wandering around in Louisburg, so they all knew Lilith, the blond girl next to Ian who followed suit like a little follower.Even the daughter of the Lord Beastmaster followed Ian quietly, so the two newcomers naturally didn't dare to make trouble easily.

When they came to a relatively empty open place, Ian and his party stopped. He looked around at the people in the team with different expressions, and said, "Everyone, including the brothers who met yesterday..." Before he finished speaking, The blond girl standing beside Ian tugged at Ian's sleeve in dissatisfaction, and pointed at herself with a curled finger in a gesture that seemed very secretive to her.

Seeing the little girl's expression of "this baby is not happy", Ian couldn't help but smile, and immediately added: "...and sisters! Although everyone is forming a team for the first time, since they can be selected for the adventure In the group, I believe everyone here should be experienced veterans. For the upcoming ruins exploration, I think it is necessary for all of us to get to know each other."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard what Ian said.Although adventure is a thing full of passion and surprises, it is based on adequate preparations. Otherwise, Ian's unlucky ex who fell under the kiss of a wolf is the best example.Now that the adventure group is newly established, including those senior adventurers above the iron rank, no one wants to run into a cheating teammate.Because of this, Ian's words can be said to express everyone's aspirations. Even though the two newcomers still had doubts about Ian's strength, they did not utter a voice to refute.

"Okay, let's introduce ourselves one by one, and briefly talk about your abilities and characteristics or team positioning - if there is any inconvenience, then don't be too specific, just tell us what you are good at, no problem ?” Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Ian continued: “Since I have been appointed as the captain, let’s start with me——Ian Grant, a native of the Far East province, is good at military swordsmanship and is an aggressive fighter. Captain, I will be at the forefront of the team when taking risks. No matter what enemies appear, I will go to the top as soon as possible—similarly, I hope that everyone will stand in their own positions at the beginning of the battle. Anything that puts your teammates at risk."

Ian's statement made everyone present nod their heads.Although the two newcomers haven't seen Ian make a move yet, they are still very convinced of a captain like him who dares to lead the way.What the temporary team was most afraid of encountering was the kind of soft leader who would only hide behind others and give orders, and Ian's speech had obviously nipped their initial doubts in the bud.

"I, I, I, I will say!"

Just as Ian finished speaking, Lilith, who was standing beside him, immediately raised her little hand, showing an eager look like she was trying to speak in school.

As Ian nodded in agreement, the blond girl put down her hands and said, "My name is Lilith Barack. I grew up in Lewisburg. My profession is a ranger, but I am only good at long-range attacks..." The girl rushed Ian curled his lips, what she meant was, this guy hasn't taught me swordsmanship yet!Then, she went on to say: "In terms of ability, my perception ability is relatively strong, so I can also be the scout of the team..."

"Stop it," Ian interrupted angrily, "Didn't you notice that there is already a thief in the team? As a scout, is it possible that you are going to let them shoot arm crossbows in the team?" While speaking, Ian seemed to be refuting Lilith, but in fact, his eyes were fixed on the black fox who had kept his head down and played with the short knife from the beginning.

However, the black fox who was lying on the gun had no other reaction except that the rhythm of playing with the dagger in his hand slowed down a bit.However, several other adventurers smiled kindly after hearing Ian's complaints.

"...I've forgotten it!" The blond girl's face was flushed by Ian's preemption and everyone's laughter. She argued weakly, then took a step back and hid behind Ian, signaling the end of her speech. .

Ian acted as if nothing had happened, and then looked at Lilith's young adventurer with short blue hair.The latter received his gaze, nodded, and said: "Hello, everyone, my name is Randolph, and like Miss Lilith, I am a native of Louisburg. I am good at using one-handed swords and have learned some shields Skills in using it." As he spoke, he clasped the metal round shield behind his back, and added: "If you don't mind the captain, I can walk with you in the front row of the team and serve as the second-hand defender." The adventurer named Randolph had seen Ian's swordsmanship in yesterday's selection, and the Beastmaster's daughter was subdued, so he stood by Ian's side without hesitation, and Very polite and willing to play the role of deputy.

"Okay, got it." Ian nodded to Randolph, then looked at his lower head, "Next."

"My name is Lester, a native, good at..."

"My name is Bazel, I'm from a small country town..."

"I'm Gregor, from Petersburg..."

"My name is Kevin..."

Soon, the remaining white-level adventurers in the team finished introducing themselves.Ever since, everyone turned their attention to the only thief, the black fox, who has been silent until now.

"Snapped!"

The gray-clothed thief's fingertips kept jumping short knife, followed by a sudden flipping movement, he grasped it in his hand, and pushed it into the animal skin scabbard around his waist without any fumes.

"Is it my turn..."

The black fox raised its head, exchanged a glance with Ian who was staring at him with interest, then lowered his head again, stared at the land in front of him and said, "Black fox, a lone adventurer, a professional thief, is good at Stealth and reconnaissance." His self-introduction was extremely short, and as soon as he finished his words, everyone saw him reach out and wipe his waist, and then the curved narrow knife seemed to be given life, and jumped again at his fingertips.

"Black fox? Is this your name?" However, Ian didn't seem to want to let the black fox remain silent. After he finished speaking, he immediately asked curiously: "Also, I remember you and that tall and thin , The guy who plays double swords seems to have formed a team before? At that time, he even invited me."

Hearing this, the black fox's twirling fingers paused for a moment uncontrollably.

More than half of the unsaved parts disappeared instantly, and my heart hurts (covering my chest)... I am lying on the ground, please recommend and comfort~
