When Greem and the others walked into a simple stone room on the first floor of the Wizard Tower led by Kevin the Black Hand, they met the other members of the mission.
Among the 10 apprentices who participated in the task of exploring the dark crypt, there were 3 quasi-witches, namely Leo from Mushroom Grove in the Loffindher region, Sabrina (female) from the Tracy family in the Woodrow region, and Sidney region. Marcus of Black Forest Academy. Among them, Leo was the provocative and injured young quasi-witch.
The six senior apprentices are Sheila (female), Matthew, Leander, Mary (female), Isaac and Bruce. 4 men and 2 women, each from different regions and different families, and the directions of witchcraft they have studied are also very different, but now they all gather here for a common reason.
As for Greem, the only junior apprentice, he was directly squeezed out of the small talk by them, as if he didn't exist at all. As members of the mission team of ten, the presence of Greem will undoubtedly lower their overall strength, so it's no wonder they have a good face towards Greem!
Greem couldn't explain the reason and reason for his presence here, so he could only listen silently and turn on the chip to secretly collect their basic information.
The 10 task apprentices arrived here on 3 flying ships respectively. The first few came even 2 days ago. Therefore, after spending a few days in the wizard's tower, I am relatively familiar with it. Therefore, they briefly described the specific situation of this mission point.
But just as they were communicating with each other, a middle-aged male wizard in a white robe and a pointed hat hurried into the stone room.
"It seems that you are all here. Well, that's good, so I'll save the second time. Hey, how did a junior apprentice get mixed in here? Well, well, this must be another group of veterans from the association. The mistakes made by the bastards. Jie Jie Jie... Now that you are here, you accept your fate! Those horror claw monsters in the underground world will be lucky... "
After saying that, there was a creepy sneer, but obviously no one dared to refute his crazy words.
"Okay, okay, it seems that you are all a bunch of boring guys, and there is no one who dares to cause trouble. But this is also good, so as to save your own life in the dark underground because of pride and arrogance. The whole mission The period is 6 months, and you have a team of ten people, and you need to inspect the underground every fifteen days, and each time there are about 5 locations that must be inspected, which are located in different locations underground."
"So if you don't want to have an accident, it's best to stay with ten people and inspect the five mission points in turn according to the prescribed route. If you move quickly, you can inspect once in about five days, then you can stay for five days. Rest time. Of course, you can also split up. If you move quickly, the inspection can be completed in 2 days. But once you meet those black bastards underground, you can only ask for your own life. Jie Jie Jie... "
The expressions of the ten people turned ugly, and the middle-aged wizard finally introduced himself.
"My name is Angus. After you hand over the task, you can go to my residence to find me. Remember, if you encounter any danger underground, you can only rely on yourself, and no one will rescue you. If you are lucky, kill those Black bastards who don't have long eyes, remember to take their heads back, and you can exchange them for rewards with me!"
"..."
Facing a group of silent wizard apprentices, this Angus wizard was not interested in explaining too much, turned around and left in a hurry.
There were no outsiders in the room, and the ten task apprentices forced together by the compulsory task could only sit down again and began to discuss how to complete the task.
The young quasi-witch Sabrina who arrived 2 days earlier became everyone's biggest source of information, and she introduced the mission in more detail.
This is a waist-length black haired female wizard apprentice, with half of a silver mask overturned covering the left side of her face, but the exposed right side of her face looks like a beautiful woman. But what made people feel weird was that the left eye under her mask and the exposed left hand were replaced by mechanical organs, and there was a metallic sound unique to mechanical creatures as they moved.
The five mission points assigned to them by the wizard tower are all located on the shallow surface of the dark crypt, and the deepest part is only ten miles below the ground. If this distance is placed on the surface, it may take a few quasi-witches to complete the inspection in less than half an hour. But in the underground world, this is a dauntingly long distance.
From the entrance of the cave to the last mission point, the straight-line distance is ten miles, but there are rugged mines, tunnels, rifts and ground fissures everywhere in the middle. Except for some roads that are barely safe, the ground is full of winding passages. If you follow the proven route, you will encounter much fewer underground creatures on the way. If I mess around inside, I'm afraid the end will not be so good.
"Three days later, it will be our team's first underground inspection, so today we must discuss a specific plan, so that everyone can make corresponding preparations." Sabrina took this sentence as her speech At the end, everyone frowned deeply.
three days? This time is short enough!
"Everyone, don't forget that there are still some drags in our team?" The male apprentice named Isaac cast a dissatisfied glance at Greem, obviously grieving that he had lowered the team's strength.
"I brought him here, and I'm responsible for his safety!" Mary's green pupils lit up, staring at Isaac, her tone cold and stiff.
"Then I propose to spread out the mission and let this beautiful lady take her knight along the way. This way the mission will be more efficient, and it will give us more time to study and rest!" Isaac sneered road.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Sabrina shook her head and said, "Don't think that you can get rid of the burden. Since you have become a team, you have to coordinate the overall situation. There are 5 missions per inspection, and two missions fail. The income is halved, and if there are three failures, there is no task income. If a group of 2 people is responsible for a task point, the time will indeed be much faster. But if a certain team is too weak, it may never come back. "
"Why, you still feel sorry for this rookie?" Isaac obviously planned to be a black man to the end.
"Of course I don't feel bad. But that also indicates that in the next round, we will need eight people to do the work of ten people. In the next round, maybe six people will do the work of ten people. Such a little consumption Go on, even if your personal strength is very strong, in the end you can only waste all your time running around underground!" Sabrina said coldly.
Obviously, she has studied this task in depth during the past 2 days, and has carefully analyzed the hidden traps inside.
Dilemma!
The whole team carried out the mission together. Since the five mission locations were relatively scattered, running back and forth would inevitably lead to waste of time and wasted time. But there are many people and strength, and it is not easy to encounter danger. If you divide into teams, you will inevitably dilute the overall strength. If you are unlucky and one or two teams are wiped out, the remaining months will be a bit difficult!
For a while, everyone fell into deep thinking, and even Isaac, who had been pretending to be black, was silent.
A simple task process needs to consider both time efficiency and power balance. Otherwise, even if a quasi-shaman thinks he is super powerful and kills his companion, it will be difficult for him to complete such a cumbersome task alone.
You must know that it is underground, no matter how strong a person is, he can't hold on for seven or eight days without sleep. It's not as easy as a few people to be vigilant and vigilant against each other while wandering underground alone. Therefore, the wizard association set up such a task, not only to examine their ability to unite and cooperate, but also to examine individual combat power in disguise.
"Let's divide into teams! Everyone is here to sharpen themselves and improve themselves, not just to get through the task period smoothly. I am in a team with Mary, and I can take charge of a task point alone. I am confident in completing this." Greem calmly Said what everyone wanted to say the most.
When he spoke, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, in the dark and treacherous underground world, with an oil bottle that needs to be taken care of everywhere, even the three quasi-witches would have a headache.
"Okay, then it's settled like this. Everyone, take advantage of these 2 days to have a good rest, prepare the items you need on the road, and gather here in 3 days." The three quasi-witches could not help but glance at Greem for a few times. over and over again, reconfirming the mental fluctuations of his junior apprentice. That Sabrina obviously wanted to be the leader of the team, and made the final plan immediately.
Everyone nodded silently, and left the stone room separately.
When there were only the two of them left in the room, Mary asked with a half-smile on her face, "Are you so sure that I'm willing to form a team with you?"
"Hey, you want the blood, I want the crystal nucleus, and other materials are calculated separately. This way there is no conflict and mutual benefit, which is good for both of us." Greem stretched out his right hand.
"Hmph, I want to pick the spoils first!" Mary's soft little hand shook Greem's lightly, and then she turned and left the stone room proudly.
There are only three days, and she also needs to prepare some suitable things for herself. After becoming a wizard apprentice, this was the first time she had left the magic swamp, so Mary planned to take a good look here.
After the room was completely quiet, Greem pretended to close his eyes and meditate silently, but he was actually communicating with the chip in his mind.
"Chip, have you collected the data of those people just now?"
"Drip, the data collection has been completed. The data list is as follows..."
With a burst of noise, a series of data streams appeared in his mind.
Angus Wizard, Data(none)…
Sabrina, female, quasi-sorcerer, esoteric wizard path (estimating), body data (none)...
Leo, male, quasi-sorcerer, regular wizard path (estimating), physical data: strength 7, agility 6, constitution 7, spirit 20...
Marcus, Male, Quasi-Witch, Data(none)…
…
…
Subsequent listings show none as the base data.
Greem sighed speechlessly. It seemed that without some experience in actual combat, it would be difficult to figure out the specific strength of these team members.
