Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!
When Grim and others led by Black Hand Kevin and walked into a humble stone room on the first floor of Adept Tower, they saw the remaining members of this mission.
Among the 10 apprentices participating in the Underground Cave mission, there are 3 Pseudo-Adept, Leo from Lufen Region Mushroom Forest, Sablina (female) from Woodrow Region Tracy Family, and Marcus from Sudini Region Black Forest Academy. Among them Leo is the young Pseudo-Adept who provoked and injured.
The six Advanced Level apprentice are Sila (female), Matthew, Liander, Mary (female), Isaac, and Bruce. There are 4 men and 2 women from different families in different regions. The direction of Witchcraft training is also very different, but now they are gathered here for a common reason.
As for Grim, the only Novice apprentice, they were directly excluded from the exchange of greetings, as if he did not exist at all. As a member of the ten-man task team, the appearance of Grim's will undoubtedly lower their overall strength, so for Grim, they can only have a good face!
Grim also has no way to explain the reasons and reasons for his presence here, so he can only listen silently, and turn on the chip to collect their basic information secretly.
The 10 missions apprentice arrived in this place by three Airship. The earliest ones came even 2 days ago. Therefore, after a few days of Adept Tower mixing, I am relatively familiar with this place. Therefore, they briefly described the specific situation of this task point.
But while they were communicating with each other, a middle-aged male Adept wearing a white robe and a pointed hat came into the stone room in a hurry.
"It looks like you're all here. Well, that's good, I'll save it for the second time. Hey, how did you mix in an Novice apprentice? Okay, okay, this must be the association The mistakes made by a group of old bastards. Uh ... now that you are here, take your fate! Underground World those Hook Horror will have a mouthful ... "
It's a creepy sneer, but obviously nobody dares to refute his crazy words.
"Okay, okay, it looks like you are all a bunch of dull guys, not even a dare to cause trouble. But that's okay, because the pride and arrogance in the dark underground give away their lives .The entire mission period is 6 months. You have a team of ten people. You need to inspect underground every fifteen days. There are about 5 places that must be inspected each time, which are located in different locations of underground.
"So if you do n’t want something to happen, it's best to stay with ten people and inspect the five missions in turn according to the prescribed Path. If you move fast, you can inspect it in about 5 days, then you can stay Five days of rest time. Of course, you can also take separate actions. If you move fast, the inspection will end in two days. But once you meet those dark bastards in underground, you can only ask for your own life. Hmm ... "
Ten words made ten people's faces hard to look, and that middle-aged Adept finally introduced himself.
"My name is Angus. In the future, you can go to my residence to find me when handing over tasks. Remember, if you encounter any danger at underground, you can only rely on yourself. No one will help you. If you are lucky, kill Those dark bastard who don't have long eyes, remember to take their skulls back, you can get reward oh in me! "
"........."
Facing a group of silent Apprentice Adept, the Adept Angus was not interested in explaining too much, and turned away in a hurry.
There are no outsiders in the room anymore. The ten tasks apprentice, which were ganged together by Forced Assignment, can only sit down again and start to discuss how to complete the task.
The young woman Pseudo-Adept Sablina who arrived 2 days in advance became the biggest source of information for everyone. She introduced the task in more detail.
This is a dark-haired, waist-waisted woman Apprentice Adept. Her face is covered with a silver mask covering her left face, and she looks like a beautiful woman only from the exposed right face. However, it was strange that the left eye under her mask and the exposed left hand were replaced by mechanical organs, and the metal sound unique to the mechanical creature was taken between movements.
The five mission points assigned by Adept Tower are located on the shallow surface of Underground Cave, and the deepest is no more than ten miles below underground. If this distance is placed on the ground, several Pseudo-Adepts will be able to complete the inspection in less than half an hour. But in Underground World, this is a prohibitively long distance.
From the entrance to the last mission point, the distance is ten miles in a straight line, but there are rugged pits, tunnels, rifts and ground joints in the middle. Except for some roads that are barely considered safe, underground is full of winding roads. The passage. If you follow the proven Path, the underground creature encountered on the road will be much less. If I ran inside, I'm afraid the end will not look so good.
"After three days, it was our team's first underground tour, so today we must discuss a specific plan so that everyone can prepare accordingly." Sablina spoke with himself in this sentence. The end also caused everyone to frown.
Three days? This time is short enough!
"Don't forget, there are still some drags on our team?" The male apprentice named Isaac gave a disapproval glance at Grim, apparently worried that he had lowered the team's strength.
"He's the one I brought, and I'm responsible for his safety!" The green eyes of Mary light up, staring at Isaac, his voice cold and stiff.
"Then I propose to decentralize the task and let this beautiful lady take her knight along the way. It will also be more efficient in performing the task and will give us more time for study breaks!" Isaac Sneered.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" The Sablina shook his head and said, "Don't think that you can get rid of the burden. Now that you have become a squad, you need to coordinate the whole situation. Each inspection task has 5 tasks and 2 tasks have failed The return was halved, and three failed without the return of the task. If two people are in charge of one task point, it will indeed be much faster in time. However, if a group is too weak, it may never return. "
"Why, do you still feel bad for this rookie?" Isaac obviously intends to take blacks to the end.
"Of course I don't feel bad. But that also foreshadows that in the next round, we will need eight people to do ten people's work. In the next round, six people may do ten people's work. This way Consume a little bit, even if your personal strength is very strong, in the end you can only waste all your time on underground running around! "Sablina said coldly.
Obviously, in the past two days, she has thoroughly studied this task, and has analyzed the hidden traps in it carefully.
Dilemma!
The entire team performs the task together. Because the five task locations are scattered, running back and forth is bound to inevitably lead to injustice and consume time. But the crowd is strength, and it is not easy to encounter danger. If the team inevitably dilutes the overall strength, in case of bad luck, destroy one or two teams, the remaining months can be a bit difficult!
For a while, everyone fell into deep thinking, and even the Isaac, who had been pretending to be black-faced, was silent.
A simple task process needs to consider both time efficiency and strength balance. Otherwise, even if a certain Pseudo-Adept considers himself to be superior and kill his own companion, it is difficult for him to complete such a complicated task alone.
You know that it is underground. No matter how strong a person is, he can't stay on for seven or eight days. Alone in the underground is not as easy as several people accompanying each other to watch out for alert. Therefore, Adept Association set up such a task, not only examining their ability to unite and cooperate, but also investigating individual combat capabilities in disguise.
"It's a team! Everyone is here to sharpen and improve themselves, not to cope with the task period smoothly. I and Mary can take charge of a task alone, and I have confidence to complete it." Grim calmly said what everyone wanted to say.
A lot of people secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he said this.
After all, in the dark and spooky Underground World, carrying a tow oil bottle that needs to be taken care of everywhere, even the three Pseudo-Adepts have a headache.
"Okay, so settle down. Everyone can take a break from these 2 days, prepare the items needed during the journey, and gather here in 3 days." The three Pseudo-Adepts couldn't help glancing at Grim. Several times, he confirmed the spiritual fluctuation of his Novice apprentice again. The Sablina obviously had the intention to become the leader of this team, and immediately decided the final plan.
Everyone nodded silently, and left the stone room separately.
Until there were only two of them in the room, Mary asked with a smile on his face: "You're so sure that I am willing to team with you?"
"Hey, you want blood, I want Crystal Core, other materials are counted separately. This will not conflict with each other, and mutual benefit is good for both of us." Grim extended his right hand.
"Hum, I want to pick the booty first!" Mary's small hands and Grim shook it a little, and then arrogant and pampered turned and left the stone room.
Only three days, she also needs to prepare something suitable for herself. After becoming Apprentice Adept, this is the first time to leave magic swamp, Mary can plan to take a good turn here.
After the room was completely quiet, Grim pretended to close his eyes and meditate silently, in fact, he was in rapid communication with the chip in his mind.
"Chip, did you collect data from those people just now?"
*Beep*, data collection has been completed. The list of data is as follows ... "
With a whispering noise, a series of data came out in his mind.
Adept Angus, data (none) ...
Sablina, female, Pseudo-Adept, Profound Truth Adept road (under estimation), physical data (none) ...
Leo, male, Pseudo-Adept, Natural Law Adept road (estimated), physical data: strength7 Agility6 Constitution7 Spirit20 ...
Marcus, male, Pseudo-Adept, data (none) ...
...
...
None of the underlying data shown in subsequent listings.
Grim sighed silently. It seems that without going through some actual combat, it is difficult to find out the specific strength of these team members.
