Chapter 22 Adventure Team
Chapter 22 Adventure Team
"Thank you all for helping our Stone family eliminate the traitor."
The Lord's Mansion of North City.
The elves unexpectedly received a considerable bounty.
Undine took the lion's share and walked out of the city lord's mansion in a daze, only to bump into a little dwarf.
"Who?"
"It's you."
Undine didn't recognize the beautiful blonde girl with red eyes in front of her, but the other girl seemed to know her.
Do you know me?
"I just found out too." Olya nodded. Wasn't this the elven girl on the boss's surveillance? She hadn't expected that she was the one who helped her brother clean up the traitors. Olya stretched out her small hand: "I am Olya, the second daughter of the Ston family."
"Oh, it's Miss Olya! I'm Undine. Sorry I bumped into you."
Undine shook hands shyly.
She was quite reserved when it didn't involve rabbit heads.
"It's alright." Olya smiled obediently, not intending to chat with Undine any longer.
She also needs to gather information about the legendary hero; she's practically spinning like a top lately.
"What a good child."
Undine sighed inwardly. Back when she was Oria's age, she was a notorious troublemaker, known for smashing at least three mirrors every day, completely unlike the gentle personalities of other elves.
Therefore, when she chose to become an adventurer at the age of forty, her family wholeheartedly supported her.
Looking back now, Undine can't help but blush, feeling ashamed of Jiahao's actions back then.
After saying goodbye to Undine, Orlando called Olya into his office.
"Oria, have you ever considered becoming a real adventurer for a while?"
As soon as she entered, Olya heard Orlando utter such shocking words.
"What happened?"
Oria was puzzled. As the daughter of a count, she didn't have any talent. How could her family possibly let her become an adventurer?
"There are indeed some things."
Orlando frowned and said, "I investigated the people around me and found more than one undercover agent. Besides Count As, there are others who are eyeing the North Underground City."
"Father has already planned to withdraw from the North Underground City, but it will take some time to complete the final preparations..."
Orlando hesitated for a moment, his voice filled with deep worry:
"I'm worried those people will target you. If you behave yourself, it'll be fine, but you..."
Oria lowered her head in shame, not daring to speak. Seeing this, Orlando sighed and continued, "I think it would be better to have you join a reliable and powerful adventure team during this time. You can release your energy and also receive protection."
"So, Olivia, answer me, are you willing to be a real adventurer?"
Olivia did not answer immediately.
To be honest, before meeting Caesar, Olya never thought of giving up her noble status to become an adventurer and live a life of hardship.
She was just an ordinary young lady who was occasionally a little rebellious and didn't want to be a tool for arranged marriage.
Aristocratic ladies like her are quite common, but she belongs to the more unconventional group.
But now... Olya often fantasizes that with her boss as her backer, she might as well take a seat as the "Hero".
"I do."
Oria nodded, but what she was thinking was that once she was free from Orlando's control, she would be better able to work for her boss.
"That's good." Orlando said, pointing to the five elves who hadn't gone far outside the window.
"I think they're pretty good. There are three level 30s in the team, and one level 42. Even the lowest level one can kill a level 3 monster with one arrow."
"Moreover, they are noble elves, so there's no need to worry about them being bribed by others."
Orlando readily agreed and immediately went after Undine and her group of elves, fearing that Orlando might change his mind.
"You want to join our adventure team?"
"But we're not an adventurer's group. Apart from Undine, we're not even adventurers. We're just here for sightseeing and to explore the details of the Enchanted Soul."
"If you're not in an adventurer's guild, why don't you just team up and register? Isn't the minimum number of people required to register an adventurer's guild three?"
Oria said nonchalantly and matter-of-factly, "Me, Undine, and the succubus I signed—that's just the right number."
"Oria, forming an adventurer's party is no child's play. According to the Adventurers' Guild's regulations, unless there are special circumstances, adventurer's parties must submit a report every month on how to conquer dungeons or eliminate monsters."
"If we fail to submit reports for several consecutive months, our adventure team will be forcibly expelled from the Adventurers' Guild, and our names will appear on the Adventurers' Guild's blacklist."
"No adventurer group will want us anymore. From now on, we'll be going on adventures all by ourselves."
Undine scared Olya by making the consequences sound very serious.
To everyone's surprise, Olya knew about these things and arrogantly said, "It's alright, as long as we pay the fine of one thousand gold coins in advance, the adventure team can just disband normally, right?"
Undine found it amusing; she had thought the same thing back then, and had gathered a few elves to form an adventure team.
As a result, it naturally didn't work out. Elves prefer peace and quiet, and few of them go out to become adventurers.
After she came out on her own, she was never formally accepted by any adventure group.
The more members an adventure party has, the heavier the monthly tasks become. As an immortal species, the elves level up too slowly and will eventually become a burden to the adventure party.
Thinking of the rain she had been through in the past, Undine's gaze softened: "Oria, if you'd like, we can take you to experience the life of an adventurer before my sisters return to the Elf Forest."
"If you really want to become an adventurer after a few days of experience, and are willing to choose me, an elf, as your teammate, then we can form an adventure team."
It's a deal.
All Olivia was focused on escaping Orlando's sight and was prepared to pay a thousand gold coins.
"I'm sorry, Elf Sister." Olya felt a pang of shame; she didn't want to toy with the elf's feelings.
It's all the boss's fault.
Olivia silently pinned the blame on Caesar, which made her feel a little better.
Meanwhile, the culprit in Olya's heart—Caesar—was pondering.
[Life Points: 315983]
Four days later, this was his second update, after deducting a portion of his net income from daily repairs of dungeons and replenishment of biological resources such as succubi and artifacts.
It seems like a lot, and it really is a lot.
But Caesar had nowhere to use him.
He wanted to update the dungeon, but it was too close to the last update, and he was afraid that the people on the surface would notice something was wrong.
So, during his free time these days, he began to squander his money.
He tested the limits of what life points could achieve and touched upon certain rules.
For example, the best template he could create for the body he sculpted for himself was like this.
