Chapter 203: Handing Over Tasks
The stone well mouth.
Blacksmith Wendy, who had been tying the spider silk to her wrist, suddenly faintly felt a slight tug from the other end of the spider silk.
"Hm! They're back!"
When Wendy got excited, she immediately used her full strength to pull the thread.
This pull was remarkable.
Directly pulling the 'entire human string' out from the bottom of the well.
The four people who had just caught the spider at the bottom of the well were unable to resist this huge force, and their bodies were quickly pulled up.
As much as a sense of doing the thrill of the roller coaster, flying out of the well mouth close to ten meters high.
Mia immediately in mid-air to adjust the center of gravity, spitting out spider silk and stuck to the side of the roof, through the drag of the spider easily swing back to the ground.
Dempsey, on the other hand, used a wind magic to reduce the speed of descent and land steadily on the ground.
Captain Abel naturally did not need to worry, such a height for him was nothing, there was no need for any deceleration measures, also landed steadily.
Only Han Dong's situation was not too good.
"Ah! Vice-Captain!"
Blacksmith Wendy was too excited and made a mistake, screaming violently.
Staring at the vice-captain who had lost his weight in the air, she ran towards the expected landing point.
Snap.
Spreading her strong arms with obvious muscle lines, she steadily catches Han Dong.
Such a picture of a princess hug was a bit off-putting.
Wendy also immediately realized that something was wrong and put Han Dong down in a hurry.
"Sorry! Because the spider silk broke for a long time, both Daou and I were already planning to go down to look for you.
I didn't know that the spider silk suddenly had a sense, and I overexerted myself in my excitement, By the way, you're so light, vice-captain."
"Oh, it's fine."
Blacksmith Wendy was embarrassed and rubbed her hands back and forth in front of her body, tentatively asking.
"Vice-Captain, have you investigated the situation down the well already? Is now the time to officially get involved in this task [Black hair in well water]?"
"It's taken care of, let's go turn in the assignment."
"Ah!!" Wendy looked surprised, "Didn't they say that this task was very difficult?"
Indeed.
Counting the time from the beginning when Han Dong went down the well alone to detect the danger to the time when the four of them ascended into the well behind him, the time before and after added up to less than an hour.
Generally speaking, it was possible for such a difficult task to take half a day.
Wendy had thought that the captain and vice-captain, would explore all aspects of the underground space.
Once the target was identified, they would regroup and the six of them would go down the well together to finish off the source of the black hair, Wendy also wanted to show her role as a " freelancer".
"Wendy, don't just keep chatting to the vice-captain, the successful and quick completion of this mission is directly related to the vice-captain, leave him alone for a while."
"Oh! Got it!"
Successfully finishing off [Barber-Charlie].
After rejoining Abel and Dempsey, Han Dong deliberately acted as if he was 'weak after a big battle'.
The details of the process, Abel didn't rush to ask, letting Han Dong rest first and discussing it in detail when he returned to his residence.
------------------------
As the party left from the stone well area.
A black figure walked out from the shadows with the word 'confusion' written all over his face.
This person was the vulture in charge of the squad's security. Kenny.
He had only caught a glimpse of Abel and Dempsey fighting the 'black-haired creation' outside the door.
Couldn't see the battle scene taking place deeper.
As a result, the Raven Prophet's student and the other witch apprentice, the two of them worked together to kill the 'High Evil Filth' and complete the task, the total time spent on the battle was just exactly half an hour.
"What is this student, what is his origin?
The special righteous eye that grows on his brow should be related to suturing as well as astrology, a greater amount of effort has been spent on both disciplines, plus the need to put most of his energy into observing this eye.
His own fighting ability shouldn't be strong.
Could it be that this student of [Witch Kellonia] possesses a strong fighting ability? Two people working together, one observing the weaknesses of evil filth and suppressing contamination, the other confronting the barber head on?
No, in terms of combat power, there shouldn't be anyone in this year's students who could compare to Abel.
Being in the opponent's lair, it would take a lot of effort to kill this barber even if he was a third-year student.
This Raven Prophet's student was definitely still hiding some secrets, otherwise he wouldn't have made the dangerous decision to delve into the barber's lair.
Was I too low-sighted? No wonder Captain Kemun named this man as a vice captain and chief of staff to assist Abel, this student is worthy of my careful observation."
After this black hair incident.
Kenny's perception of Han Dong has changed dramatically and his concern has increased.
-------------------------------
Rye District - Inside the dilapidated house.
Han Dong submitted a bunch of black hair taken from [Barber-Charlie]'s body to the past
Mission Receiver - Bardot Valiant looked amazed, completely unable to believe how quickly these little guys had completed this task that reached three stars of difficulty.
Moreover, all six of the team were unharmed and unaffected by the heavy contamination.
"You guys, "
Bardot's eyes lingered on the mysterious apprentice who insisted on choosing the stone well task and was currently slightly weak and tired.
"Aunt Bardot, how about giving us the other two basic tasks as well?" Abel asked.
"Well, "
Bardot didn't ask too many questions this time and handed out the quest scrolls for [Strange 'Apple Tree'] and [Misplaced Scarecrow].
"When you guys have completed the three quests I've provided here, then come back together to collect your rewards.
I'm sure this vice-captain in your team has already seen that the 'Wheatfield District' quests I'm in charge of are related to each other in some way.
The three clues combined together should allow you to deduce a 'dark path' for exploring the Stuart's Great Manor."
"Yes!"
The squad left the dilapidated cabin.
Abel asked with concern, "Nicholas, why don't you go back to the dwelling area for a while? We'll start with surface exploration on these two basic quests, and then meet up with us when you've had enough rest to tackle them together.
Our progress should be considered the fastest of all the teams anyway, there's enough time."
Han Dong, however, waved his hand in refusal, "No need, I'm just a little tired, I'll just take a little break during the investigation process.
I think there's still a need to hurry up at the beginning of the training period.
The junior teams are not slowing down as well, and from what I've observed, at least three teams have completed their first tasks as well as we have.
Especially during the basic mission phase, due to the limited number of quests provided by the NPCs.
Once we fail to obtain enough quest intelligence rewards, we will not be able to proceed to the next step of in-depth exploration.
Next, let's arrange it this way.
Captain you, Dempsey, and Daou in one team are in-charge of investigating the scarecrow problem in the wheat field area, I reckon that the movement of the scarecrow is related to the secret hidden in the land, and Friend Dempsey should be able to find out the problem quickly.
Me, Mia, and classmate Wendy are in charge of finding the 'apple tree'.
A task of this search nature will allow me to get enough rest during the search."
"It's a little unfair to have both of your lovely female classmates belong to you, isn't it?" Abel was deliberately joking.
"Ha-ha, "Han Dong burst out laughing, he was completely unselfish, he was just assigning them according to the mission fit.
"Just kidding, it's just like you said! You can take care of the two sisters, feel free to contact me if you need any help.
Within today, try to solve all the tasks in the "Wheatfield District".
