The Monserrate is an international regular ship that travels between the Closberg Autonomous Prefecture and Grancel, the capital of the Kingdom of Liber.
Although Estelle and Joshua had taken regular ships to travel between various regions in the Kingdom of Liber in the past two months or so after becoming full-time guerrillas, this was their first time taking an international regular ship.
"It actually takes five hours. It has never been more than one hour in China..."
After listening to the flight attendant's explanation, Estelle realized that they would not arrive until after eight o'clock in the evening.
"There is nothing we can do about it. The straight-line distance from Grancel Airport to Crossbell Airport exceeds 5,700 cel moments. What's more, the flight is not completely straight. The whole journey must exceed 6,000 cel moments. Estelle feels bored.
Why don't you take a nap? You must have been very tired from doing association commissions before. It's almost time to wake up and I will wake you up." Joshua suggested.
"No, no, no. I'm still very energetic. How about we go to the observation deck? It seems that we will pass by the Erebonia Empire in the middle. Let's go and have a look?"
Estelle's first long-distance trip, the five-hour flying boat trip was also a new experience for her.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of it if you keep looking at it. It didn't take long for Estelle to choose to talk to the passengers on the scheduled ship, both to kill time and to understand the situation.
From a trader in Luan, she spent two hundred millas to buy a set of novels called "Jack the Winner". This way, the long journey would not be boring.
…………
At eight o'clock in the evening, it was already rest time for Lieber, but the night market in Crossbell had just started.
After coming out of the airport to the central square, I saw many people gathered in front of a luminous curtain, which displayed moving images. After asking around, Estelle found out that this is called an amphitheater, which is famous for Crossbell.
The new thing that the Rainbow Theater Company came up with last month. The puppet show "Little Red Riding Hood" is currently being played. Not only children, but also adults and couples are also stopping by.
Joshua reminded Estelle that it was time to book a room at the hotel, but Estelle was completely attracted by the moving images like a child, and she was still unsatisfied after watching it.
“As expected of a big city,)o”
Estelle is not at all shy about her country bumpkin appearance when she comes to town. In fact, the New Year Festival is coming soon, and there are many tourists from all over the world who behave like her.
Joshua sighed helplessly.
…………
Early the next morning, the two came to the Guerrilla Association on East Street in Crossbell to report.
When they saw the five characters "guerrilla association" on the plaque, the two of them didn't react at all.
"Those are the square characters for the East. You were born in the Kingdom of Liber, so it's no wonder you don't recognize them."
Crossbell's operator Michelle is a charming strong man. He often uses a feminine self-identification when talking to Ayo. Although it feels a bit subtle, he is actually quite smart and capable.
Although it was January 1, 1203, the Guerrilla Association had no time to rest, but instead had more tasks. Michelle said that there was no time for Ayo to familiarize himself with the map, so he hoped that they could use the morning to familiarize themselves with the terrain.
Before that, Michelle had contacted the two of them about a place to stay. The rental apartment next door happened to have a free living room for the two of them.
"Brother Ainan only contacted Mr. Michelle yesterday, but I didn't expect you to be so considerate. Then we will accept it with gratitude." Estil bowed. Originally, she planned to go find it herself.
Where to live.
"Thank you so much. It's been a big help." Joshua also thanked Michelle.
"Haha, it may be a little unfamiliar to you. The rules of our Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture are different from those of the Liber Kingdom. Because the citizens of Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture pay more attention to efficiency, it is best to complete tasks as soon as possible even if they are not so urgent.
In principle, it is not recommended that guerrillas take on too many tasks at once. If the task is completed too slowly, the evaluation will not be high. This distribution can allow other guerrillas to take on the most urgent tasks after handling the tasks at hand. If the task is very capable,
Strong A-level guerrillas are another matter, you are still D-level guerrillas, right? It is best not to accept more than two missions at the same time. If you accept missions one by one, it will be more efficient to complete one before doing the next one."
"That's it." Joshua nodded to express understanding.
"Hey, that's it. We will pay attention to it."
Following Michelle's instructions, the two of them first went to the apartment to view the apartment, and then spent the whole morning touring the main streets of Crossbell City.
We started picking up tasks in the afternoon, and Estelle and Joshua picked up two together. One was an emergency task, to help tourists find children. The other was a long-term task released last month, the magic wand test of the Leinforte Group and
Testing of new tactical force guide.
"The reward for this task seems to be very high? Why doesn't anyone take it?"
Michelle replied with a wry smile, "The mission notes say that this is a fairly long-term mission, and there are special restrictions. Although the pay is not bad, it should take a lot of time. And the client is not in a hurry, so we focus on efficiency.
The Kezhou guerrillas always give priority to urgent tasks."
"I see, then we have nothing to do next, right?"
"Well, the Ryan Ford branch is located in the IBC building in the northernmost part of the harbor area. You should go there and have a look after you complete your first commission."
After receiving Michelle's advice, Estelle and Joshua first came to the station hall and met with the client of the search mission. The client's name was Laming, a tourist from Calvard. He was originally the leader of the search mission.
My son went out to play, but disappeared as soon as he got off the train. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Estelle and Joshua began to inquire after learning about the facial features. They split up and visited four blocks, and finally found their target at a snack shop in the central square.
The naughty kid didn't realize that his father was in a hurry. When Estelle said that he was the helper that Lamin had asked for, he immediately spread his legs and slipped into the crowd. After a lot of effort, Estelle
Only then did he "arrest and bring him to justice" again.
"Don't leave without saying a word in the future."
"Got it."
Estelle held the kid's head steady, while Joshua returned to the station hall to inform the client. The reunion of father and son should have been a joyous occasion, but the kid's eyes were rolling like bones, and he might sneak away again.
?Well, that's not something that the guerrillas can take care of. Estelle went to mention it to the client for a while, and left with the other party's thanks.
Then Estelle and Joshua came to the Ryan Ford branch in the IBC building.
"Guerillas... You came so late. I thought the association wouldn't send anyone here."
"Ahaha, I'm sorry."
Estelle discovered that the client looked like a little girl, with beautiful ice-blue hair. She was also very cute, which was her type.
Joshua saw the employee ID badge on her chest, "Researcher...Dr. Tio Prato?"
"Tio...eh? Could it be that you are Ling-chan's friend?"
Estelle immediately thought of what Ling had told Joshua about when they were in the Kingdom of Liber. They had friends with the same name and so on. They left a deep impression on her.
Tio nodded, "You actually know Ling. This surprises me."
"So we are our own people. I am Estelle and he is Joshua. We are very familiar with Ling-chan."
"So it's you. That's right. We are young guerrilla partners. Weapons are double swords and sticks. I should have recognized them by the color of their hair." Tio's tone was still light, even though she had heard Ling talk about it before.
She had seen and heard in Liber, but Tio would not regard Estelle as her acquaintance because of this.
After Tio asked the staff to make tea for the two of them, he went to the research room and took out the props to be commissioned for testing.
"You should have heard that this mission has special restrictions. The special condition is that the tactical force guide arcus provided by our Ryan Ford must be used. The magic wand we developed must match the arcus before it can be used. So.
This commission is not only a practical test of the magic wand, but also a test of the use of the tactical force guide."
After Tio finished speaking, he handed over two flip-top tactical force guides, and then began to explain the mission content to Ayo.
The introduction of arcus focuses on the communication function, link function, and weakness detection function. The guidance magic that the magic wand can release without a driver also needs to be set in advance on arcus. Although the rock thorn, high-pressure water block, and fire
Arrow, Wheel of Wind, Cloud of the Heart and other low-power guidance magics can be released continuously through the magic wand without worrying about exhaustion of the guidance energy. However, if you want to use the magic wand to release Titan's Roar and Diamond Star,
For more powerful guidance magics such as Burning Breath and Pale Hell, the guidance energy accumulated in the tactical guidance device must be used.
"Because the loose spirit of the magic wand after releasing great magic is a big problem, which may cause the magic wand to be overloaded, so it is not recommended that you use the magic wand to release great magic."
The magic wand itself was designed to have a transforming function. After Tio adjusted the functions of transforming into a stick mode and transforming into a sword mode for them on the spot, he handed over the two magic wands.
"Guide magic that doesn't require a driver. It sounds very convenient. Just use it in daily battles?" Estelle took the cane and pressed the button on it. It immediately transformed into the same shape as the one behind her.
Practice using sticks of similar styles.
"Well, that's right. Anyway, just try to use it as much as possible in battle."
Tio also specifically explained that the service period is only two months. After two months, arcus will automatically be locked and bricked, and the matching magic wand will also lose its function. Therefore, it is necessary to visit Leinforte once a month.
The branch is reactivated. The test data using the magic wand and tactical force guide will be directly uploaded to the force guidance terminal on the IBC side via guided wave wireless, so there is no need to come back specially.
After the business was settled, Estelle still wanted to ask Tio out to play, but Tio directly rejected her kindness. Even when Estelle asked her about Ling's residence, she didn't answer, so that
It took three days for both she and Joshua to find out the specific location of Rozenberk's workshop.
