Chapter 293 Commission
Three months later.
Burning Ember Kingdom, North Wind Castle, Magic Office.
"Master Mage, you must rescue my husband. He has been missing in the maze for three days! I am willing to give everything."
The plainly dressed woman knelt in front of Charlotte, clutching his trouser legs tightly, crying with tears streaming down her face.
The mission panel appeared in front of him.
【Exploring the Maze】
[Task description: Underground businessman Cruise mysteriously disappeared in the cave. This was originally a shortcut for his smuggling, but due to a mistake in triggering the mechanism, it turned into a terrifying maze. There seemed to be unknown monsters howling in the maze.]< br>
Reward: 5 gold coins, unknown experience
Charlotte scratched her head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's take on this task."
The reward for this mission was only five gold coins. If more people were sent, the reward might not be enough to cover the cost of the mission. However, for the sake of experience, Charlotte decided to take on the mission.
It has been three months since the server was opened, and [Magic Coin], as a powerful mage family, has naturally attracted many new players, and the size of the guild has expanded unprecedentedly, reaching as many as three hundred people. What is most in short supply is experience.
Most of the new players are still at the second or third level, which is quite different from the old players in the closed beta. Charlotte himself has reached level 6, so he will not let go of anything that can help new members of the guild improve their level. The opportunity is regarded as an experience.
"My lord, thank you, thank you"
The woman knelt on the ground, crying until her voice became hoarse.
Charlotte quickly helped him up. As a player from modern society, he was still not used to this naked hierarchical order.
However, this is also unbelievable from the woman's point of view, because she is not a native of Beifong Castle.
Spellcasters are aloof beings everywhere in the North. Even the nobles treat them as guests. It is even more difficult for ordinary people like her to get help from mages.
But now, the residents who have lived in Beifeng Castle for a long time have long been accustomed to the assistance of these "special" spellcasters. Sometimes they can even entrust them to the magic office to find lost cats and dogs. Magic has become more and more integrated into their lives. , is no longer as unattainable as usual.
Charlotte opened the panel and sent group messages in the forum's new feature "Guild Group".
Charlotte: Come take over the mission! Experience tasks, no gold coins, let a beta player lead three newbies. ”
Charlotte: Lonely as Snow is coming too.
Lonely as snow:?
Flying Witch: Hehe, let me lead the team this time!ヾ(*▽‘*)
As soon as the news was sent out, an internal beta player responded to the call - it was the "famous" Flying Witch in the guild.
Suddenly, the group fell silent.
No new player dared to speak for fear of being targeted by the Flying Witch.
Last time, it was this wild warlock who took six newcomers who were new to the world to explore the dungeon. The task was originally completed smoothly, but was suddenly put into danger by the flying witch.
The Stinky Cloud Technique triggered by her magic wave almost wiped out the entire team. The video was also posted on the forum "Wild Warlock's Charming Moment" and is still circulated among players.
Flying Witch: Ah, is the group so deserted? Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Lonely as Snow: President, can I quit this time——
Charlotte: No.
Charlotte: Let Ou Huang go with you, and Jiuli, don’t even think about running away, you two are the least experienced.
Ou Huang:?
Jiuli:? ?
Emperor Ou: President, let’s go on a mission with Sister Witch. Are you sure we’re not going to give away people’s heads? Charlotte: There is no use for these two second-level noobs staying here. Why not take a gamble, or else we will be sent to the mines as black slaves.
Lonely as snow: What about me? I'm already at Level 4!
Charlotte: I trust you more. You are the strong human shield of this team, not the backing.
Flying Witch: Then let's get ready to go! ()
Lonely as snow:.
In this way, under Charlotte's forced request, a team of four people finally managed to get together.
There are paladins in the team, two negligible rookie mages, and a high-level wild warlock. It can be said to be a very wild configuration.
Lonely Ruxue stood at the door fully armed. He was wearing heavy gold armor and holding a giant silver shield. He looked like a human-shaped armored vehicle. However, the passers-by were not much surprised by this kind of dress. After all, they were meteorites who could not be judged by common sense. They had even seen them naked.
"Alas."
“I always feel like I’ve been cheated——”
The face under the helmet was as lonely as snow and was about to cry without tears.
He originally entered this game with the intention of becoming a fearsome warrior who could fight against all kinds of monsters, but now he is on the road to being a human shield and will never return.
As a Crown-sworn paladin carefully cultivated by [Magic Coin], he not only chooses defense as a combat specialty, but can also use his divine power to force enemies into a solo duel so that his teammates can deal damage.
At level five, he even unlocks the magical skill "Guardian Link", which allows him to share the damage of his teammates. Coupled with that set of indestructible adamantine heavy armor, whether he is happy or not, in terms of team functionality, He has indeed gone to the extreme, no wonder Charlotte attaches so much importance to him.
"Hello! You're quite early!"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen this time!"
The clear voice of the Flying Witch rang out. She came bounding over and patted Lonely Ruxue's shoulder. She seemed to be in a good mood.
A helpless, bitter smile appeared on Lonely Ruxue's face under his helmet. This sweet-looking "senior" player, who was dressed like a magical girl, looked like a devil to him at this moment - after all, he could cast spells casually to destroy his own side. The existence of group destruction.
"Hello, you guys."
Not long after, two mage players wearing rough robes also hurried over, but they were both crying and hesitating, not knowing what to say.
They all owed a lot of debt for opening boxes, and were eventually recruited into the guild by Charlotte out of "good intentions". They were already so busy just paying off the debt every day that they didn't even bother to fight monsters and upgrade. They were taken into the guild by the players in the same guild. Nicknamed the "African duo".
But just like there are often five of the four kings, the African duo also has a hidden member, their guild president Charlotte, but they all talk about it in private for fear that the president's fragile mind will be affected. Secondary trauma.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off together! The target underground labyrinth!"
The energetic voice of the Flying Witch sounded.
"This time I must let the newcomers see how reliable I am as a senior!"
She clenched her fists and made a decision in her heart.
This is the second time she has taken a newcomer out on a mission, and she must not make any mistakes again.
"Yes"
Three voices sounded together, but they were slightly weak.
