Chapter 20: The Final Meeting Before Departure

(263…084…458…book friends skirts, if you want to come, please join the group. PS Friends who have passed by ask for collection and recommendation. Your support is my greatest motivation. In addition, please give me some advice, thank you.)

The knock on the door of the adventure group opened the door of the temporary garrison. It was said that it was a temporary garrison, but it was actually a vacant second-story house borrowed by Dora of the mercenary group for four people. Because the location was relatively remote, it definitely met the needs of Vivian and Lina for quietness. In the evening of the next day, Dora brought all the other thirty-seven team members to knock on the door of the house as promised.

When the door opened, Dora outside the door was immediately startled. There was no joy or anger on Lina's pretty face, and she looked at her with an empty look with expressionless face.

"Li...na?" Dora called out tentatively.

Lina nodded expressionlessly.

"You... nothing happened, I did nothing wrong, right?" Dora blinked hard and asked innocently.

Lina shook her head expressionlessly.

Dora really didn't know what to do, so she stood at the door awkwardly. Lina stared at her blankly. After half a minute, she made it open to the door, pointed to the room inside the residential room, and turned toward the room.

"What's wrong with her?" He flocked to the first floor of the house and saw about ten seats placed in the center of the living room on the first floor. There were piles of cushions on one of the seats. Panis sat on one of the seats, and Vivian and Catherine were gone. Seeing Panis, Dora seemed to see a savior and couldn't wait to ask: "Why did it suddenly become like this?"

"It's okay, don't worry about her, it'll be fine after a while." Pennis shrugged indifferently: "Intermittent confusion, abbreviated, crazy."

Lina sat aside at this time, and still didn't say anything when she heard Panis's comments. She just stared at him blankly with her empty eyes, until she started to sweat on her forehead.

"Okay, I understand." Dora sighed helplessly: "Everyone find a place to sit first, by the way, where are Catherine and Vivian?"

"Upstairs." Lina's voice did not fluctuate at all, and she was completely unsatisfactory.

"Upstairs?" Dora asked in confusion: "What are they doing upstairs?"

"Sleep." Lina's answer was simple and concise.

"Well, it's Dora here." Vivian poked her head out of the stairs, wearing a nightgown with a few big cats, rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked down the stairs in a daze: "He's here so early."

"Good early?" Dora felt that her mind was not enough, and looked at the sunset outside the window: "It's already late, it's getting late."

"We thought you would come only in the evening." Vivian yawned, leaping onto a long recliner and laying down: "It's so sleepy, I really want to sleep again."

"Go and call Catherine down with me." Panis said to Dora: "She is so tired. She just said she would fall asleep after lying for a while."

"Didn't have a rest last night?" Dora asked.

"For the past twenty days, she drove the train most of the time. She was worried last night, so she reorganized the adventure equipment. It was already midnight after finishing it." Panis replied: "Today I took me out for a long time and bought some supplies. I couldn't hold on just now, so I slept for about an hour and a half. It's okay, let's go and call, it should have recovered."

Following the dim stairs, Panis took Dora to a tightly closed door in a room on the second floor. Panis knocked on the door lightly, but there was no reaction in the door. He frowned. He increased his strength and knocked a few more times, but there was still no reaction in the room.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Dora asked worriedly.

"No." Panis shook his head and said, "I breathe very evenly, I should just sleep too much."

"What should I do?" Dora asked helplessly: "Do you bump into the door?"

"No, I have a trick." Panis grinned, put his hand into his pocket and took it a few times, mysteriously clenching his fists and hiding the things he took out in the palm of his hand.

"What is this?" Dora asked curiously.

"Shh." Panis raised his fingers with his empty hand and placed it in front of his mouth, slowly opening his clenched fists. On his palm, two shining gold coins were quietly lying: "Secret Weapon."

Before Dora could ask anything, Panis flicked his thumb and flew upright into the air. When the gold coins fell, Panis ejected the other gold coins with the same action. The two gold coins collided in the air, making a crisp collision sound. After the collision, the first one flew up again along the same path, and the second one accelerated and fell back to the palm of his hand. Panis repeated the pop-up action, and the two gold coins continued to collided in the air, and the collision sound continued to sound.

When the two gold coins collided for the fifth time in a short time, the door of the gold coins suddenly opened quickly. A figure rushed out of the door at a speed that could not be seen clearly. His right hand stretched out like lightning, and he held the two gold coins that had just completed the impact process tightly in the palm of his hand. What rushed out was Catherine. She was not covered by armor, but wearing a light blue long skirt. Her hair became chaotic because of her sleeping position, her eyes were still tightly closed, and her movements were a little stiff, and she was obviously still sleeping.

"Anything is OK?" Dora opened her mouth wide and looked at Catherine's movements in disbelief. She felt that the perfect image of her senior sister in her heart was completely broken.

"The human body's instinctive reaction will not stop because of sleep, such as breathing." Panis made a serious nonsense: "And this is her second instinct."

"I think you're dead." Vivian's secretive voice rang out from under the stairs: "I will tell my elder sister what I just said as a joke."

"I'm wrong, don't." Panis admitted his mistake neatly.

"Well, why am I outside the room?" Catherine stood there for a while, slowly woke up, looked around blankly, and nodded to Dora: "You are all here, I'll go down now."

"Hey, why do I hold gold coins in my hand?" Catherine just wanted to go back to the room to change clothes, but suddenly found the two gold coins in her hand. She scratched her head strangely, but immediately put the gold coins in her hand purse firmly: "No matter what, the one holding in my hand must be mine, yes, that must be the case."

——————————————

"I'll introduce it to you." Everyone was finally here on the first floor of the house. Dora gently patted her hands, attracting everyone's attention: "These four are members of the Neri Adventure Group. They are foreign players I temporarily invited. They will fight side by side with everyone in the future. I hope everyone can get along well."

"They are the members I mentioned before. They are all silver-level. They should have been forty people, but because of yesterday's incident, three members were killed. Now there are thirty-seven people. I won't introduce them one by one. They were divided into four teams by me. These are the team leaders." Dora patted one of the women in their thirties who looked ordinary: "This is the captain of a team, the fantasy fox." The fantasy fox is a relatively rare monster in the forest. Its strength is not very high, but it is very clever and cunning. Its most dangerous feature is that it can use its racial talent to create a small-scale fantasy, so that the prey is attacked unconsciously.

"This is the captain of the second team." Dora pointed to a dark and thin middle-aged man: "Red Scorpion, a mage who makes good use of various drug-type toxins."

"Captain of the Third Team." Dora pointed to the third team leader. The third person was a thick and short dwarf with his beard dangling to his lower abdomen. His thick beard made it difficult for him to see his age: "Mine Pickaxe, a powerful shield warrior."

"The last one is the captain of the fourth team." Dora raised her chin at the fourth team leader: "Cheetah, the fastest man in the entire mercenary group."

"My plan is like this. Each team is one group, and we are five people in one group. With us as the center, four of them gathered behind us at a distance of 100 meters, and tried to screen every suspicious place." Dora said: "The guide I asked to meet us before departure tomorrow. He is the best hunter in the local area. He is familiar with most hidden places in the forest. With him, the thieves cannot escape our search."

"Okay, that's the tactic that came to my mind." Dora concluded at the end, "But we haven't really penetrated the forest and don't understand the actual situation. Do you have any opinions?"

The three girls looked at each other for a while and turned their eyes to Panis. Catherine said, "Penis, we have never experienced the large army entering the forest. You should have the most experience. Let's talk about it."

"Okay." Panis' expression was helpless and said reluctantly: "Actually, if it was a search, it would not be a good idea to enter the large army."

Dora was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"I have said before that moving in the forest follows the laws of monsters in the forest." Panis explained: "World beasts do not know that we are humans. They will regard us as a small group, and they are small groups that cross the border. It would be fine if everyone gathered together. There are four golden ranks, and most monsters dare not attack. As long as we do not stay in their territory for a long time, it will be fine. But if it is spread out as you imagined, it will be more troublesome. For such a group with only silver ranks, even during the invasion of monsters, they will be constantly attacked by monsters. The attacks of a large number of monsters will pass our movements to the thieves early, so that they can hide deeper."

"It makes sense." Dora's plan received very low evaluation, but she was not dissatisfied and asked humbly: "What if everyone gathered together?"

"It's meaningless." Panis shook his head: "If you gather together, there is no need to go to so many people. Anyway, we are just looking for traces. When we really find it, we can mobilize personnel from outside to wipe out."

"You mean, we streamline the staff?" Dora asked.

"Well, my opinion is to be streamlined," said Panis. "We will choose four more, including ten guides, which is enough."

Dora looked at Catherine with questions, and Catherine nodded and said, "He is professional, I suggest you listen to him."

Dora hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing: "Then let's try it as you said first, but who to choose? Are the four captains? They are the four strongest members among these team members."

"It's not them, you don't need the strongest ones." Panis said, pointing out four people: "I recommend choosing these four."

"Phantom fox, gopher, shadow wolf and night owl?" Dora said strangely: "I don't understand very much, and you are not familiar with my team members. Why did you choose these four people? Wouldn't it seem a bit hasty?"

"I didn't choose casually," Panis explained. "Since they came in, I was observing that many of the four people's little movements and habits said that they had sufficient experience in the wild. I meant not the kind of survival in a team, but the experience of a very small number of people or even one person living in a very difficult environment. I'm right, Ms. Fantasy Fox."

"You are right." The four of the Fantasy Fox looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't find that their habits would make people see their experience: "But I didn't find anything special about us."

"It's just a little trick." Panis smiled and said to Dora, "So, this is not at all sloppy."

Dora looked at Pannis, then looked at Catherine, and her eyes turned back and forth for a few times before gritting her teeth and agreeing: "Okay, just do what you said, but according to the rules, if your mission fails, your adventure team will have to pay double the compensation."
