Chapter 4: The Pioneer

"Hey! Left eye, the legendary mission, I didn't expect that we would have this day too!"

"Yes, if you go back to register after you finish, at least how many levels will the mercenary level be changed? Hello, what are you saying too!"

"Hug...sorry, it's very difficult for me to say... but we... finally made it happen!"

"So, then how do you think I was posing in this position when the waitress of the Mercenary Union interviewed me after registering and completing the task? If it's OK, nodded..."

The person who sent this conversation was Er3, a trio of striking the rock with eggs, and they were also called by their respective code names. Even the names of the people in the conversation were not clear. It seemed that they did not know each other before being beaten.

Have you become good friends when you are slapped in the face? Just one person gave a punch and made three unrelated people connect together. Rorona sighed a little, it turns out that friendship sometimes comes so simple!

Perhaps it is this kind of guy who can represent the vast majority of mercenaries. Of course, there are reasons for choosing this profession for life. However, more people are trying to explore the unknowns in the world and make a big splash! After all, if it is just to survive, then it is okay to find a street kebab, and there is no need to choose a dangerous job.

Every time they step out of the city gate, it may be the last time. Although the task this time may be a highly difficult task that is far beyond expectations, perhaps they expected this situation the moment they took over the high commission.

Therefore, this unexpected legendary mission may be a good thing for them, because if they can return to the Mercenary Union alive, it will add a topic that can be boasted about for the rest of their lives.

A very simple group of creatures can satisfy them, perhaps in addition to the treasures and commissions obtained during the journey, this is the magical experience of being able to pour a glass of ale at the mercenary union and brag about other mercenaries!

Although there are several people who may have unexpected difficulties in the task, it still doesn't work, because it is not the individual who takes over the task, but the team.

No one quit, and even became enthusiastic after knowing the task. Rorona finally understood why the employer did not announce the task in detail at the beginning.

Because if this is the case, it may be that the mercenaries who are joining may not only be just for commissions, but even the team will follow a lot of guys who are planning to take advantage of the situation - just like my own group!

"Look, I'll just say that the news I've inquired is correct!" Alan, who was halfway through the carriage window, said to Rorona as he looked at the excited mercenary walking on the road.

"Well...yes, what kind of place is there? I'm really looking forward to it." Rorona nodded, then said in a low voice: "How many of these hundreds of people will never be able to go back."

As if Rorona was surprised, Alan looked at her strangely: "What? Do you have any time you are worried about others?"

"But you see, aren't these parties not worried at all? There are a large number of people, and the miraculous power before... there is no possibility of failure, right?"

"Well, indeed, I'm afraid they continued this mission because of this confidence! That miraculous effect..." Rorona said next to the slowly moving carriage.

"But they didn't realize that the guy just regarded them as tools that could be discarded at any time, just like we just regarded people other than us as guide ropes."

"Ha..." Allen suddenly lost the intention to continue talking.

"So, it is the most sad thing to not know that one's own definition is just a tool..." Rorona said, pulling open the door of the carriage.

"Get out of the way! I want to make up for my sleep. Maybe I will reach an interesting place when I wake up!"

"Hey, you have to get in the car, but don't squeeze me out!"

There are another group of people in this forest where humans are almost never set foot in. But it is not correct to say that the group is because there is only one person in terms of number.

If Rorona were here, I would be surprised. In this forest, the lowest level of monsters are at least level 5, and there are also various poisonous insects and dangerous plants. Perhaps for his own team with hundreds of people, the difficulty of these problems will be minimized, but if it is just a single person, the difficulty will definitely double.

Just like the difficulty of normal and professional in the game, it is a trench between ordinary people and experts...

The young man with black medium-length hair and brown pupils should look less than 20 years old, walking forward in the woods.

"Ah..." As he walked, he yawned, looking completely sleep-deprived.

But the point is not here. Is it okay to yawn leisurely in such a dangerous area? Here, just a brief mistake, or a little distraction, may become the cause of fatal danger.

"I said, Aitz, you are actually a road tycoon, right..." The young man seemed to be talking to someone, but there was no one around him.

And on the way he said this, a beast roar came from behind him. At the same time, the sound shadow, which was not tall or short, was also covered by a huge shadow, completely covering the sunshine falling from the leaves on the trees in winter.

"Well, it's so troublesome..." The young man continued, was the troublesome thing about the monster that suddenly appeared behind, or because of the Lunika said before? I don't know.

But even as he said this, he did not make any evasion or blocking moves, and even a trace of unexpected expressions did not appear, just like he did not notice the giant monster behind him that began to attack.

Even if a person is a slow person, he will definitely be able to detect this huge monster that is less than three meters away! Did he notice it? But he still has no movement.

In charge of the blue color, blown down from the sky... The sound of a spell came from the young man with black hair. What was strange was that not only was the sound of a girl, but even his lips did not move at all.

The location where the spell sound was heard was above his head...

Unlike the spells cast by other magicians, there is no need to wait until the spell is completed before it can produce an effect.

While the spell was chanting, the giant monster behind him had already begun to show signs of being frost. After it was completely frozen, the spell only chanted less than three sentences, which means... Isn't it necessary to defeat it at all?

It takes no more than two seconds from the appearance of the monster to the transformation of an ice sculpture, which can be said to be unable to even make the young man move forward slightly.

"Sta, don't question the knowledge passed down by my clan to this day! If I say it's right, it's right!" The same voice as the one who chanted the spell just now came from the young man's head again.

The girl with long blue hair and blue pupils has a look, but her height is only 15 cm. It is indeed a level that it is difficult to detect if you don’t look carefully. This is an ice element elf.

"But didn't you say that you would arrive in just three hours at most? I haven't seen it yet, it's too unconvincing!" The young man, who was called Stah by the elf, complained.

"Looking, it's going to be here anyway!" The elemental elf named Aitz, who was lying on the top of Star's head, pulled out his hair impatiently.

"Well... it should be here for another three hours!"

"Ah, I believe you once in the end." Sta replied listlessly.

"Mr. Wells, what exactly is Avalon you mentioned? Have you been?" In front of the convoy, a mercenary asked at his employer, with some curiosity in his eyes, and there were also several mercenaries around him.

Since the employer showed his strength last time, they realized that they might have met a big man - the one who has such strength would not be the generals, so they have also treated the employer with courtesy.

A big tree attracts wind, and people are afraid of becoming famous. If a person becomes famous, some inexplicable people will often come to him. This sentence also applies to this employer named Wells.

But even if he was suddenly surrounded by mercenaries who were curious about him, he did not show an impatient expression. He just glanced at the learned old men and patiently answered the questions of the young mercenaries around him.

"Haha, I have never been there, but I just happened to know some relevant information." Mr. Wells, who was standing in front of the convoy, riding on a horse and surrounded by several mercenaries, smiled with a smile.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand and surrounded a blue cover of the three books floating around him. It seemed to be implicated by something invisible, landed on his hand and turned it on automatically.

But unlike the one that opened before, which showed miraculous power, there is no blank space in the pages of this book, and it is full of words.

"Look, what the book says is that Avalon is a legendary place that exists in the form of an island." The old man named Wells showed this precious book to the mercenaries around him without hesitation.

The ordinary and warm smile made the mercenaries around him come to life. What he saw was just an ordinary old man in the tavern who would tell young people about his past history.

It's such an approachable old man. All the mercenaries around him have this idea. Although they can't understand the words in the classics at all, with this action, the diaphragm caused by the power gap before seemed to disappear. What's in front of him was just an approachable old man, and the special thing was that very powerful.

When he found that the young people around him were not interested in the dense words in the books in his hands, Wells smiled indifferently.

"The mysterious island surrounded by fog. The island guarded by the lake elves, without time and time, nothing above will grow old... The legendary king, Atoris, who unified the country and then defeated, still lives there." Just like the old man who was telling the story, he continued to convey what he knew to the young people around him.

And it seemed that I had something I was interested in. The smile on my face became deeper. I could hardly see the pupils inside with my squinting eyes. The face, which had obviously not had a trace of wrinkles, seemed to have faint wrinkles due to the smile.

"So, since it's an island, the location must be in the lake... Children, I've seen the lake." Wells squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

The hazy front due to the fog in the breakfast forest... It seems that the old man has good vision that is not the same as his age.

As Wells said, it was not long before they walked, they had discovered a huge lake. Whether they looked from a distance or around, they could not see the edge of the "lake".

If it weren't for what the old man said, I'm afraid the people around me would just think this is the sea!

However, although it is a lake, there is no fluctuation in the lake water inside. Of course, it is not because of the lack of wind...

It’s just that such a huge lake is covered with thick ice!

"Ah, ah... It's really amazing magic." As if he encountered something unexpected, he walked down from the straddle horse, Wells said with his fingers on the frozen lake.

It was actually a magical formation... Is it a magic that iced such a huge lake directly? The mercenaries around were a little shocked.

"Haha, it seems that another child has passed by first, but he actually used this exaggerated method..."

"I was worried about how to take everyone over. I planned to separate the lake directly... If I encounter the child who did such a thing, I really have to thank him, everyone."
