To collect mission intelligence, Hero went directly to the old man at the grocery store to resolve the matter.
I used to think that the dozens of books in the old man's bookcases were all useless stuff.
After all, if it was useful, it wouldn't be placed so casually.
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard his request, he directly found the intelligence information Holo wanted in a pile of papers that looked like... books.
This made Hero's opinion of the old man even higher.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters!
…
When everything was ready, Hero put on his new robe.
This time, Helo changed into an ordinary magician's robe when he went out. The solidifying soul spell engraved on it, in addition to cleaning, also concealed and weakened the fluctuations of soul energy.
Of course you have to look like an adult when you go out. Apprentice robes are not convenient outside the imperial capital.
This was also his choice after comprehensive consideration of the mission.
Looking around the room, Hero was recalling what he didn't bring.
The two soul beast eggs... had no special environment, and Hero didn't provide them with materials that could accelerate their growth. It might take them a while to break out of their shells on their own.
The rest are daily necessities, and there is no room to carry them in the [Flea Skin Bag], although this kind of space equipment is rare during the apprenticeship.
But Hero still disliked the problem of space size. In addition to dozens of grenades and some necessary small pieces of equipment, there was no room for other items.
Fortunately, Hero is not very particular.
That leaves just one last item.
"Do you think I should take you there this time?"
Hero turned to look at the skull on the table, and the black mist in his broken head trembled.
Compared with two years ago, the black mist now has shrunk a lot and has become a ball the size of Holo's thumb.
The expression on it is also a little difficult to see clearly.
Another reason why Holo hasn't been on a mission in the past two years is because of him, Nightmare Soul.
Although he had been suppressing its strength and squeezing his knowledge, Hero still felt uneasy about leaving him alone at home, but it was inconvenient to take him out.
"Please...relieve..."
The nightmare soul that made a sound like mosquitoes and flies could not conceal its weakness.
One can imagine how harshly Hero has trained it in the past two years.
"I'm a very talkative person, but you haven't cooperated with me, which makes it very difficult for me."
Holo put his hand on the skull. This familiar movement made Nightmare Soul unable to stop being afraid. The thumb-sized black mist was also beating and trembling, and every time it was shaken, the black mist would dissipate a little.
"I...have already said that it is talent...that you cannot master..."
"Talent is the most useless thing. Do you know how many talents the magicians have analyzed and how many soul magic formulas they have created?"
In two years, Hero learned a lot of new knowledge from the Nightmare Soul, but the most important thing [the complete manifestation of the Nightmare Swallowing] was that it always kept silent.
This made Hero exhaust all his patience.
"If you don't say anything... there will be no need for you to exist."
"..."
Holo's response was wordless silence.
Hero, who was aroused with murderous intention, suddenly retracted his hands at the last moment when he released his soul technique.
This move caused the beating black mist of the Nightmare Soul to stop for a moment.
"I really don't want to take anything hard. Don't worry! You are still useful to me. How could I let you die so quickly?"
Hero laughed teasingly, stuffed the unresponsive Nightmare Soul into a black bag, and hid it close to his body.
What a joke, such a rare nightmare soul, if the possibility of escaping from the mine is eliminated, his nightmare soul should be the only one in the world of magicians.
At this level of preciousness, it is useless to him. He can still give it to his mentor. Even if it is not good enough, he can exchange it for other resources.
What's more, maybe it can be used in this mission.
Hero opened the door and walked to the gathering place in the hall.
We had already made an agreement with those 'teammates'. Because everyone still had things to do, the time was set for the afternoon of the third day, which is now.
Hero soon discovered the other four. Their costumes were exactly the same as those mentioned in the secret book, and they were easy to recognize.
"Are you Piccolo?"
The name in the Helo Codex is Piccolo, and the names published in the tower are also the names in the Codex.
This also makes it easier for some people to hide their identities.
"yes."
The person who asked about Holo's identity was Burt. His strong muscles held up the apprentice's robe, which was somewhat swollen. This weird figure showed that he was studying the physical system of spiritual arts.
Traton's face was very popular. If he were thrown into the crowd, Hero felt that if he didn't keep staring at him, he would definitely not be able to find him. Even if he stood in front of Hero after a while, he might not be able to figure it out. Who's up?
'This ethereal, hard-to-remember feeling is related to the soul technique of perception. '
Hero has experience in this area. After all, the [Fanmiya's Illusion] in his right eye has been tried and tested in this area.
Bablin has a bald head. Compared with the normal expressions of the first two, his face is full of gloom. This is similar to the time when Hero was malnourished. If he is more severe, the child will not be able to sleep.
The soul energy fluctuations in his body were very weak and had no impact, which made Hero unable to see the details of this person.
The most conspicuous among the four is Dana.
The slender lady with long burgundy hair could not hide her exquisite figure even if she wore a large robe.
At the end of his glance at everyone, Hero looked at her.
"There are no weird emotions in his eyes. He is very cold. He doesn't seem to have a weird system. He is very powerful." '
The proportion of strong women among sorcerers is not high, and this is even more true during the apprenticeship period, especially for apprentices born as civilians, who often find it difficult to integrate into the cruel environment at the beginning.
Especially when there was no need for screening in the early stage, many teams prayed that no female apprentices who would hold them back would join.
But there was no cowardice in the depths of Dana's eyes, which made Hero and the others feel relieved.
"Time is of the essence. Please listen to me. The swamp is in the middle of the southern part of the empire. I believe you all know the specific location. It will take about two days to take the imperial track. If you are willing to go through the [door], it will be much faster. Let’s vote now.”
A mission contains many details, ranging from travel methods to strategic plans.
What's more, not all apprentices have the money to go through [the door].
Several people looked at each other, and it was Helo who was the first to set an example.
"I propose to go through the [door]. Everyone has seen this mission. To be honest, it is difficult...even the next two missions may not be completed. We need to hurry up.
Two days can be used to explore the situation. After all, there is still a gap between the information on paper and the real situation. "
"Seconded."
"I can also go through [the door]."
"Can."
When Bert saw that everyone agreed, he directly applied to the tower for the right to use the [door].
Not long after, Palin's rose elf delivered a key.
Holo and others directly inserted the key into the door, and a huge target appeared, flashing with blue light, waiting to be fed.
"Five hundred soul coins are needed, which means one hundred per person."
None of them hesitated, this little money was nothing to them.
"Then go and see... how scary that swamp is."
Dana smiled slightly and took the lead into the [door].
The key assigned by the tower is the directional [door], and the target point at the other end is a location stored in the tower.
After submitting the application, the tower will directly select the nearest location to facilitate them.
But the moment a few people walked out [the door]...
"Where's the swamp? I'm so big, but there's a swamp? Why are they all trees?!"
Bablin suddenly said from the side:
"There are soul fluctuations on those peripheral trees..."
"..."
Herodon felt his scalp numb...
With this number, it’s no wonder that the towers haven’t ascertained the total number.
