My system comes with a chat group?

"My eldest brother said I can't take care of my younger brothers and sisters, so I came to see how you are doing." Ling shook the gourd in his hand: "Besides, I always think your side is more fun."

"So, sister, did you find anything interesting?"

"It's interesting because we didn't find anything. By the way, what methods did you use to recruit those people? I can't figure it out at all. It's completely different from Originium techniques, right?"

"Yes, sister, do you want to guess what that is?" Shu showed some more liveliness.

Chapter 48 The Real Enemy

The Yakumo team was on their way to the northern Demon King's Castle. There were no big cities along the way, and the demons they usually attacked were not particularly advanced types, but mainly monsters.

Yakumo's level was also steadily improving, and he was getting very close to level 100. As he saw that he was getting closer and closer to reaching level 120, Yakumo felt that his future was bright.

"Finally... we've arrived at a city." Yakumo stretched. Even if you have a tent or something in the wild, camping still makes you feel tired. Usually in a village, you only sleep for one night and leave the next day.

Only when you are in a town can you get enough rest. In addition, you can usually receive many commissions in the town, and you can also continue to get future travel expenses. Travel expenses are really consumed very quickly due to various reasons.

Well, this time it wasn't because Haita drank, but because he really consumed it very quickly. After all, the world is not safe nowadays, and the price of taking transportation to the next destination is not cheap.

Sometimes, the drivers risked their lives to escort them. Many times, their team used the escort plan to accompany them, trying to reduce the amount of money spent on travel expenses. This was actually a very good idea.

"Ah, I'm finally in the city. I feel alive again." Haita stretched himself and said, "I have to go to the church in the city to submit a report, so I won't be with you guys for now."

"Once you find a hotel, just come to the church to find me." Haita laughed and prepared to leave the team temporarily.

"Will he really go to church?" Fulilian didn't believe it.

"Haha... Haita is a devout believer in the goddess, so he will definitely go to church." Xin Meier smiled and helped Haita to excuse himself: "In terms of faith in the goddess, there should be no other monk more devout than Haita."

"But I still think we will find Haita in the tavern." Yakumo did not doubt Haita's piety, nor did he doubt that he would definitely find Haita drunk in the tavern, and he might even need them to pay for the drinks.

"I can't deny the feeling." Aize shrugged: "But let's go find an inn first."

Even though everyone knew that Haita would end up getting drunk in the tavern, they still had to find a hotel. A four-person room plus a single room was not cheap, and Yakumo carefully calculated the remaining travel expenses.

"It seems like we really need to take on more commissions." Yakumo sighed. It's true that one only regrets not having enough money when he needs it. They would occasionally help others along the way. They were really the kind of people who would stand up for justice when they saw it.

After finding a hotel, the four of them decided to go out and look around. Fulilian went to the magic item store, Yakumo went to find materials and magic books, and Xinmeier went to the Adventurer's Guild with Aize to see if there were any commissions they could accept.

There are several magic shops in larger cities, which usually display some manuscripts. This world does not seem to have such a thing as printing, nor does it have the magic of printing. Books are basically copied.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was a magic book or not, the book itself was considered a valuable item. The handwritten notes of some great magicians were even more valuable. Yakumo considered his own personal money and wondered if it was enough to buy it.

There was too much to research, and as a teacher, Fulilian was indeed a little incompetent at times. How could a teacher let her students teach her in return? She even waited for Yakumo to come up with new research results like knocking on the bowl every day.

"Let me see... the magic that stirs eggs, the magic that makes washed clothes smooth... well, the second one is quite practical. With this, I don't even need an iron."

"Is there any magic to fertilize crops, or to speed up the growth of crops..." Yakumo searched for a long time in the store. The magic that can create a flower field can certainly create rice flowers, but it cannot speed up the process of waiting for crops to mature.

Therefore, improving millet seeds is still not a matter of a day or two. It will take several years or even decades.

"You should buy this magic book that makes washed clothes smooth. There is no iron here, and this can prevent clothes from wrinkling. It would be even better if there is a magic book that can dry clothes."

The magic of drying clothes is quite practical, especially when it rains outside, it is simply a magical skill!

"Why am I always looking for new research projects for myself..." Yakumo didn't know how to complain about himself. There were also magic tricks for cleaning the mouth, magic for keeping teeth healthy, and so on, all of which were little life tips.

You can't skip brushing your teeth just because you're going to defeat the devil, right? In other worlds, there are people who failed to defeat dragons because they didn't eat. The details in life cannot be ignored.

What? You said that because you didn't go to the toilet, you successfully defeated the devil and a statue was erected? What a joke, how can holy water and food scraps be the same?!

After scanning the goods again, Yakumo didn't find any magic books worth buying, so he checked out directly. Fortunately, offensive magic was the mainstream at this time, and this kind of daily magic, even if it was a book, was also the cheaper kind.

"I've made money, I've made money~" Yakumo hummed as he paid the bill and walked out of the bookstore. He hadn't walked two steps when he saw an army heading toward the city center. The team looked shabby, probably because they had gone through some tough battle.

The soldier's face was also quite depressed. Did he lose the battle? Yakumo kept an eye on it. Maybe this could open up a commission for their team?

"But I haven't heard of any demon army nearby. There's no news of any large demon settlements either. My team has wiped out several of the larger ones. Could it be a powerful demon?"

Yakumo recalled the intelligence they had obtained so far and confirmed that there were no large demon tribes around. Even if it was a demon army, as long as there were no particularly exaggerated strong ones, ordinary human armies could still put up a fight.

If there are stronger magicians in the human army, it is not impossible to fight back and forth. After thinking about it, it can only be like the general demon before, some high-level demon coming?

People who stayed in the city didn't have to worry too much. Because Fulilian's teacher, the great magician Volame, had developed a barrier magic thousands of years ago. All big cities had this kind of protective barrier, and basically no demon could break it.

But outside the city, there is no such magic protection in the villages, so the villages can be easily destroyed by the demons. If a big demon really comes, the lord of the city will soon issue a commission.

This is a good opportunity, but first I have to make two more electromagnetic light shields. If I don't have enough time, I can just make two photon shields.

Chapter 49: Adventurers Gathered

"Have you heard? The city lord is recruiting adventurers." At night, the team found the drunk Haita in the tavern as usual. As expected, Haita, who was drinking to his heart's content, could not control himself at all.

Fortunately, Haita's drinking amount did not exceed his private money by much, so the team did not have to pay him too much. However, Haita had to stop drinking in the next few days to punish him.

While searching for the Sea Tower, everyone heard other teams around them discussing this. The city lord was recruiting adventurers, not just those who were just filling in the numbers, but adventurers who were truly ready to fight against monsters.

Combined with what he saw in the afternoon, Yakumo estimated that they must have encountered some monsters or demons that they could not deal with. Unfortunately, Yakumo only saw the soldiers who retreated back, and did not see the bodies of other soldiers.

Otherwise, we can also judge from the bodies of the soldiers what type of attack the other party used, and then have a general judgment of the enemy. Now, we can only wait for the city lord's announcement.

"You look very nervous." Xin Meier said seriously. He also came from the town.

The atmosphere inside gave off a bad vibe.

"Yeah, maybe we encountered some big demon tribe." Aize stroked his beard: "When I went to the weapon shop to buy grinding stones this afternoon, I saw a group of soldiers coming back. Apart from being messy, I can't think of any other words to describe them."

"Why don't we leave first?" Fulilian suggested, "If we continue to the next town, we can avoid this trouble. They are nobles. Don't forget that you and Aize were almost beheaded when you set out, Xinmeier."

"Haha, that's really a disaster..." Xin Meir touched his head and laughed.

"Flilian is not praising you." Yakumo said unhappily, "But I don't suggest leaving directly. Letting such demons kill people everywhere is not the style of the brave team. Monthly fee group ⑥ 949361 ③ 5 What's more, I am also curious about the magic of the demons."

We can use stones from other mountains to polish jade, destroy the demons, and learn some magic from them. Isn't that good?

"I agree with Yakumo. Since we have encountered the demons, we can't just sit there and watch." Xin Meier had no intention of running away. This was the time for him to step forward.

"What about Haita? If we take him to see the city lord like this, he might get beheaded again." Aize glanced at Xin Meier: "Or should we leave him in the hotel?"

"Haha, don't worry, Haita will probably be able to recover tomorrow." Xin Meir smiled and excused his childhood friend.

Perhaps it was because Haita's alcoholism was less severe this time, so even though he had a headache the next day, he didn't have the severe hangover he had in the past.

"It's incredible that you can still stay awake, Haita." Yakumo complained, but unfortunately he didn't get any rebuttal from Haita. Haita was still having a headache at the moment.

"I heard the news. The city lord is calling for adventurers to meet him in the castle tomorrow afternoon. Any adventurer team that meets the requirements can go. The city lord has an important commission to issue. The reward for the commission is very generous."

Xin Meir walked in from outside. He had just gone to inquire about the city lord's summons and had just returned after finding out.

"It seems like a very difficult problem indeed. The fact that the city lord actually offered a generous reward shows that this time the opponent may be more difficult than just a difficult one. It is true that a big reward will bring out the brave."

Yakumo reacted immediately and realized that the city lord was afraid that no one would dare to take on the mission, so he increased the bounty. It might be the kind of demon that would scare people away just by hearing the name!

"Really..." Xin Meier sat down, opened his mouth, and was silent for a while before continuing: "If this is really an opponent we can't deal with, then let's run away together!"

"Ah?" Yakumo, who was waiting for Xin Meier to say something encouraging, almost slipped and said, "Run away?"

"Yes, run away." Xin Meier nodded heavily. "Rather than fighting and dying, I would rather everyone run away together and find a way to survive when facing an enemy that we cannot defeat."

"You..." Yakumo scratched his head. He didn't expect Xin Meier to think this way. How should I put it? I was a little touched. Xin Meier was not the type who shouted about friendship and bond and asked everyone to unleash their potential together.

But this is unexpectedly good, and didn't such a hero succeed in defeating the demon king in the end? Moreover, when it really came to a desperate situation, Xin Meier was probably the first one to rush forward and fight.

"Then let's go to the lord's castle together tomorrow." Yakumo nodded.

There were quite a few people coming to the lord's castle. Yakumo roughly counted and found that there were at least 20 adventurer teams. However, the composition of these adventurer teams was uneven. Some were composed entirely of warriors without even magicians.

The hall was quite noisy, with adventurer teams exchanging information with each other, wondering what the commission was. It was not until the city lord arrived that everyone gradually quieted down.

"We have discovered a great demon, the corrupt sage Guval." said the city lord.

With a bang, the entire hall could no longer maintain silence. When the name Guwal came out, everyone was like boiling water, making the scene very intense, and some people immediately wanted to withdraw from the meeting.

"Guwal?" Yakumo went online to look up some information.

"The corrupt sage Guval is one of the great demons. His best magic is killing magic." Fulilian explained: "Guval is one of the best magicians in the demon king's army. Why would such a guy come to the central area?"

"Murderous magic." Yakumo's eyes flashed.

"Yes, this is a magic developed by Guval, which has super penetrating power. The current defensive magic and any magical armor cannot stop Guval's killing magic. Everyone will be directly penetrated by this magic."

"He has caused the deaths of a large number of magicians and adventurers before. I didn't expect it to happen here..." Fulilian pondered: "I still suggest that we better avoid it."

"No, I want to see it for myself." Yakumo spoke directly: "I am very interested in killing magic, I really want to... No, I must go and see killing magic."

It is difficult to study magic cannon out of thin air, but it is different to improve it. Yakumo thinks that this killing magic may be of great help to him. As for defense, there is magic

With the magic shield, he was somewhat confident in facing Guval.

At the same time, he also wanted to try to see to what extent the electromagnetic shield could resist the killing magic. Is the indestructibility of the system's equipment higher, or is the killing magic higher priority?

After all, there is no such thing as durability for the equipment in this private server.

Chapter 50 Preparations for the Campaign

In the end, only a few adventurer teams chose to take on this crusade mission. Most adventurers had a clear understanding of their own strength and would never rashly accept a mission unless they knew they were no match for the opponent.

We have all been through all kinds of dangers and know how to protect ourselves. Although it is not nice to say that we should run away from the battlefield, our lives are our own and staying alive is more important than anything else.

In total, there were four adventurer teams that took on the mission, plus Xinmeier's team, which made it five. Each of these teams had at least one magician, so that they could try to compete with Guval.

"As for the Great Demon, this time we are probably facing a Great Demon in its prime, not a low-health version like the Demon General we faced before. We need to make some preparations."

I mentioned before that I would prepare electromagnetic shields for Fulilian and Haita, but I am still short of some materials, so the first thing I need to do is to find some monster subjugation commissions. I can earn money while collecting some monster crystals.

"I also went to the Adventurer's Commission Office to look for it, and found some." Xin Meir also knew why Yakumo was fighting monsters, so he directly made a list of the commissions that could be accepted.

"Hmm... these should be no problem. They don't take much time and should be able to be completed in time." Yakumo quickly analyzed several commissions, confirmed which ones were more suitable, and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

"We need to deal with this problem in the next two days. I don't think Guval will stay in one place forever. It will take some time to find his location, so let's go quickly."

There are armies in the town, as well as hired magicians, so there aren't many monsters around. The subjugation missions are also in places that take about a day's journey around, and these monsters mainly threaten the village and farmland.

Now these monsters are no longer a difficult opponent for the entire Xinmeier team. Unless they are dragon-type monsters, regular monsters can only give the Xinmeier team a headache through their numbers.

After a quick cleanup, Yakumo collected the monster crystals. Unfortunately, the materials were only enough for one electromagnetic light shield and one photon shield. The photon shield was given to Fulilian, and the electromagnetic light shield was given to Haita.

It's not a prejudice, but simply that Fulilian, as a magician who has lived for more than a thousand years, is much stronger than Haita in all aspects. In terms of saving her life, Fulilian is definitely better than Haita.

"I immediately felt more at ease." Haita watched the electromagnetic shield in front of his arm gradually disappear, and smiled, saying that he also had confidence. A small shield could give Haita such strong confidence, it seems that the quality of the electromagnetic shield is actually quite good.

"Next, we will discuss the battle strategy for the attack on Guwal." A group of people gathered around a table with a piece of paper and a few small stones on it, each with a name engraved on it.

"Guval is a proud demon. Although his magic power is not top-notch, he is one of the people who can defeat me. Given his personality, he probably won't have followers around him because his killing magic is powerful enough."

Fulilian began to share some of the information she knew about Guwal: "If there is no squire, then we will only have to deal with Guwal. But we must not let our guard down."

"The killing magic has not yet been successfully analyzed. The destructive power of this magic is very strong. The commonly used defensive magic cannot resist it at all. Even if you use the surrounding materials such as rocks, you can't block it."

"Because of this magic, he is the corrupted sage Guval. Moreover, the killing magic is released very quickly, and it is very difficult to react in time. You have to concentrate at all times when dealing with it."

"It sounds like a very difficult demon to deal with." Xin Meier also sighed: "Then our formation cannot be too dense, otherwise it will block the space for others to hide."

"That's right. Attacking from multiple directions can also distract some of Guval's attention." Aize also expressed his opinion: "Or, I can attract his attention first."

As a warrior and also a member of the front row of the team, Aize's first thought was to go up and take the damage.

"We can't resist head-on. When we can dodge, we should dodge as much as possible." Yakumo thought for a moment and said, "When we go to attack, we must make sure that there are no other people around. I will attract attention in the air to ensure that the information is not leaked."

Speaking of resistance, Yakumo is more resistant than Azer. After actively opening the magic shield, his health bar should be longer than Azer, and he can also heal himself, and has permanent mana recovery and mana absorption.

Fulilian said that Guval's magic power was not outstanding, and it should be consumed. Especially since Yakumo had the ability to absorb magic power, he could definitely do this.

"If there is really no way to kill him quickly, then we have to find a way to drain Guval's magic power, and then kill him in this situation."

"Can you really do it?" Fulilian turned her head and looked at Yakumo: "The problem of magic power I mentioned is only relative.

In fact, even a Guval like this has much more magic power than an average human magician."

"It's enough. As long as his magic power is limited, we can always drain it." Yakumo answered confidently: "But this is the last resort. It will take a long time to drain the magic power. Every minute longer will increase the danger everyone will encounter."

"We have encountered many dangers throughout the years, and our goal is to defeat the Demon King. We have to get used to dangers, don't we?" Xin Meir replied with a smile.

"Then, the formation is set. Aize will be at the front and approach Guval. The physical fitness of the magicians of the demon tribe is not something that ordinary people can resist. Aize, you must be careful."

"I will support Aize from the side. Two warriors holding back Guwal should ensure that they attract the enemy's attention." Xinmei began to arrange tactics.

"Frilian, keep your distance and make sure you can react when Guval casts magic on you. Is that ok?"

"Of course, this is not difficult."

"Haita, you are in a position further behind Fulilian. Prioritize your own safety, and then support us."
