On the vast grassland plain, behind a small hill, two piles of yellow bonfires were not far apart, glowing with two pale yellow haloes.
The two teams were gathered around the campfire, each making their own preparations.
"Gallon, you are responsible for the reconnaissance tonight, and it will be up to you tonight." Andy whispered to Gallon.
"Go to sleep, don't worry." Garen nodded and stood up.
The investigation was mainly done by him and Virali, both of whom were flying totems. Virali's was a small blue bird, which was very fast and could be used as a trustworthy person.
The division of labor in these two days has made everyone familiar with each other.
Jana and Verali were sitting next to their captain, warming themselves over a bonfire. Seeing Garon getting up, Jana finally couldn't help but ask.
"Quidulan, what is Garon's core totem? Why do we only see him using fluorescent butterflies as totems these days? This kind of totem is very unpopular, no one has even studied its subsequent evolutionary route."
Quadulan was fiddling with the bonfire. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at her in surprise.
"I advise you to have less contact with him, Core Totem? Don't you know that you and he have been together recently?"
"What do you know?" Jiana asked with a frown.
"This Garonne has no core totem. He only plays a detective role in their team." Quadulan glanced at Jiana strangely, "If you think he is a noble child, then you are wrong. That Garen
Long used to work in the totem repair shop over at the night market, and was later recruited by Andy. Even if he is a son of a nobleman, he is just a down-and-out nobleman. So I advise you to find out first before making any plans. I thought you
Got it."
Jana was a little dazed.
She didn't expect that the answer she had been guessing was so simple.
However, she still trusts her own vision. There is always an aura about this Garen that she cannot see through. He is very weird anyway. He is definitely not an ordinary totem master.
"Don't think too much. Children of nobles are all people who attach great importance to their own safety. If they don't have core totems, they can't guarantee their own safety in this kind of mission." Villali couldn't help but said on the side. "That guy
In fact, he is the weakest in our team." He had long been dissatisfied with Garen, and every time he saw Jana taking the initiative to talk to Garen and Garen not paying attention to her, he would get angry.
"Let's take a look again.ยจ" Jiana frowned and whispered, but her heart cooled down a lot. She began to have some doubts about her guess.
Early the next morning
Garen took back the fluorescent butterfly and was about to get on the horse and slowly practice taking a nap. The horse can be led by the attached rope.
He soon discovered that Jana, who usually came over to chat with him from time to time, was much colder at this time, and she was riding her horse and chatting with Verali.
It was rare for him to have some leisure time, so he was riding a horse a little behind. He began to examine his current situation.
After hunting so many missions in the War Guild, he also had a general understanding of the situation of the Silver Lantern Master.
Generally, totems are divided into two categories, the silver lantern and the ghost silver lantern. There are fewer ghost silver lanterns, but all of them are very powerful. The scar left on Gallon's neck was left by a ghost silver lantern.
He thinks that he has no core totem now, so with his strength and secret martial arts, he is almost at the top of the Type 1 Totem Master, just like the Type 1 Ghost Silver Lantern. But if he wants to face off against the Type 2 Totem Master, he is beyond his capabilities.
Among the two teams present, only Andy and Quedulan are stronger. Judging from the control totem and the intensity of the totem light, they are the two strongest, and they are the main force in frontal combat. The rest are fledglings, that is, popular.
Levels are all types that rely solely on totems to fight, and you can just rely on the strength of the totems to distinguish them.
Just as he was thinking about something, he saw Verali whispering something in Qudulan's ear in front of him. Qudulan nodded and looked back at him.
"Garen, please go to the small forest on the left in front to check on the butterflies that are bothering you."
Garen nodded, took out his silver short staff and released the blue fluorescent butterfly, asking it to patrol the small woods on the right side in front of him.
There was no harvest, the fluorescent butterfly flew back, and the team continued to move forward.
After a while, Garen was about to take a nap when he heard another voice coming from the front.
"Gallon, don't be too busy sleeping now. There seems to be something going on later. Let Fluorescent Butterfly take a look." Villari said loudly.
Garen was sleepy after staying up all night last night and was ready to take a rest to regain his energy. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and frowned.
"Virali, you are also a flying totem, why do you always ask Gallon to do things?" Jessica asked somewhat unpleasantly.
"He is the weakest, so he should do more things." Villari curled his lips and said naturally.
"Forget it, it's okay." Garen didn't want to cause trouble with this team. This mission was of great importance to him, and he didn't want to overly influence the inertia of history.
I released a fluorescent butterfly, circled behind it, and chased away a few immature deer, before flying back and landing on Garonne's shoulder.
The horse team slowed down and moved forward neither fast nor slowly. The group of people simply took care of food and water on the horse. It was not until the afternoon that they stopped to let the horses rest and drink water.
In the afternoon.
Jana hesitated for a while, but came over to chat with Garen. Verali suddenly couldn't bear it. From the captain, he finally knew that Garen was not a noble child at all. Even if he was, he was just a noble noble, not enough.
Afraid. Now that I see Jana approaching Garen, I feel even more uncomfortable.
"Gallon, I'm a little sleepy. Let's sleep for a while. I'll leave the patrol to you." Verali walked up to Gallon and said loudly.
"What do you mean?" Andy frowned and stood up. "It's your patrol time during the day, right?"
"Forget it, forget it." Garen didn't say much. He has amazing endurance, practices secret martial arts, and is extremely energetic. This is nothing. This mission is related to Goth's outbreak, and it is also related to his joining the team.
There were possible variables. He didn't want to fall out with Quadulan over a trivial matter. After all, in the scene in his memory, Quadulan and others also entered the lair together.
Seeing that Garen didn't care, Andy and Goth, who was about to stand up, didn't know what to say and had to sit down.
Garen followed the request and immediately began to inspect the surrounding area.
When he stood up, Villari whispered something to him.
"I'm just giving you a little lesson. If you're sensible, stay away from Jiana, otherwise it won't be so easy next time."
Garen wanted to laugh a little.
This kid actually dared to threaten him. This brat who couldn't smell any blood on his body actually dared to stand in front of him and threaten him face to face.
If he hadn't been afraid that too many changes would lead to too many changes in this mission, he would have slapped this guy away.
After a round of inspection, they returned to the temporary camp. Garen sat down next to Goethe and watched the guy eat half a bread stick in one mouthful like a pig. He suddenly felt a special appetite and held a hard stick in his hand.
The bread sticks, dipped in tomato sauce, actually taste a little sweet.
"Gallon, go get some water from around." Villari's voice came again.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Goethe rushed up. "You have hands and feet and you don't know how to do it?"
Villari also stood up and sneered. "People who don't even have core totems are just a drag anyway. Why should he be given a share of the head money if he doesn't do more? Everyone in this team can contribute to the team."
A person who contributes, a person who can do his best. He is the only one. With such a weak totem, he is not the core, but can only be a drag on the team."
"Okay, Verali, you've had enough?" Jana finally couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said coldly, "Don't let me look down on you!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Andy and Qudulan both stood up. Qudulan frowned and glanced at Garen, "This matter ends here."
Villari gave Gallon a sharp look, feeling even more unhappy because he was reprimanded by Jana.
The two groups were speechless for a moment, and they split into two groups and sat together.
After enough rest, we hit the road again.
Although Jana also knew that Garen was not a noble child as expected, she still couldn't do what Verali did. She didn't want to cause the two teams to separate directly because of this matter. So she still apologized to Garen in person.
, chatted for a while.
It's a pity that Verali, who was just a little angry at first, became even more angry when he saw Jana trying to get close to her.
Judging from the gloomy look on his face, it was obvious that he hated Garen.
Four full days have passed.
The two teams gradually went deeper into the wild, and the surrounding human settlements and hunting houses became increasingly sparse, until they were completely invisible.
There are more and more weeds on the road, almost covering the road surface. It is also covered with a lot of small gravel.
The two captains got together and studied the route with a map. They quickly got off the carriage road and followed a narrow loess path to another unknown area.
The surrounding area is surrounded by endless green grassland, with almost no trace of human beings. More and more sparse woods appear, and it is obvious that they have left the loess plain area.
The team moved forward and finally found a small mountain-shaped hill, and the whole team stopped.
"This is where it starts." Andy held up the map and compared it.
"There are bloodstains here!" Quadulan squatted behind the hills and said loudly. "The mission content said that several people disappeared here, leaving traces of bloodstains and fights. It seems that this is the right place."
Everyone gathered around and saw that there were still dried black and red blood scabs on the grass. The soil underneath was also dyed black and red, which was very conspicuous.
"Fortunately, it hasn't rained these days, so the bloodstains haven't been washed away." Quidulan said in a low voice. "Look at the map to see how to get there? If I guessed correctly, there should be a bandit's lair nearby."
"It was mentioned in the mission that ordinary city guards came to check several times, but there were no results. That's why the mission was submitted to the guild. But I guess they are just cunning ordinary mortals, so the problem is not big." Andy walked over and unfolded the map and said.
"There should be an underground cave if you search to the right from here. The last time the city guards entered was five days before receiving the mission.
, it was too dark inside, and there were many traps and traps that made it impossible to move forward. After injuring a few people, the city guards came out. It was just mentioned in the mission."
