Black sorcerer

Chapter 6: Adventure Squad

As the saying goes, 'clothes make the man'. The small team of adventurers led by Xiu have changed their outfits. The team leader, Xiu, is wearing a light cloak and white gloves of good quality. Compared to yesterday, this outfit makes him look even more handsome.

As for Honglian, sitting on the other side, she has only added a pair of gauntlet gloves to her outfit. She does, however, have two weapons: in addition to the dagger hanging from her left hip, she is also playing with a short sword. Judging by her smug smile, she must be very happy with the sword in her hands.

As for Alice, she is wearing small armour on her torso, paired with a short dark blue skirt and black boots. A long sword hangs from her left waist, and this outfit now fully reflects her personal temperament.

For the moment, she sat silently, her eyes occasionally glancing at Jarro, who was the only one standing.

Jarro, who was standing behind Shire, had replaced the original cloak he was wearing. The black cloak he wore now was a gift from the old bank manager, Ben. Only he looked as if he hadn't changed much.

Shire, who was the tallest, had not yet fully adjusted to the weight of the armour. To ease his fatigue, he drank tea again and again. When he had drunk his eighth cup of tea, he said, "I'm very sorry! It's all my fault. If it wasn't for my body...'

No, Char, don't say that. Your physical condition is the best among us, but if even you can't bear the armour, then our team is unlikely to survive! Char, this shouldn't be difficult for you. Please have faith!

Understanding the importance of warriors, Alice comforted him, "Charles, since you have chosen to be a warrior, you must show the courage of a warrior! Don't blame yourself, we've just become adventurers, you'll get used to it after a while!

Xiu, even though you are the captain, if you are unable to do your job, I would be happy to do it for you. Hmph, don't underestimate the knights, you'll understand when you encounter monsters or enemies.

Everyone is new here. Upon hearing Alice's arrogant words, Honglian, who didn't get along with her, said angrily, "Alice, what do you mean? Hmph, don't think I can't do anything to you just because you're wearing armour!

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. In order to survive and live a better life, we must give it our all! We must face the enemy in the best condition! Xial, I heard that... the duties of a warrior are very hard, I hope you can take on the role of escort! Hehe, I have high hopes for you!'

After everyone had gathered, Alice noticed that Jaro had remained silent the whole time. Without paying any attention to Red Lotus, she turned to him and asked, "Jaro, I heard that you became a wizard, but I don't see your staff. And... what kind of magic do you know? Before we go on a mission, it's best to find out what skills each of us has!

Jaro was a bit confused by her words: 'Skills? You mean magic, right? Never mind, let me answer the other question first! For some reason, I can do magic without the help of a staff. The old man said that I seem to have a talent for it, and I think that's why.

The other four looked at him in surprise. "Why are you looking at me like that?

"Jaro, you're amazing, I never thought you had a talent too!" 'Too? Does anyone else have a talent?

She put down her short sword and said with a smile, "Of course I do! And Alice too, of course! My beautiful master said I have a good talent, I think it's called... Ghost Steps. How about that? Fantastic, isn't it?

Oh? It sounds like it's pretty awesome! You're an assassin, and with this talent, you should be even more handy, which is great.' 'That's for sure!'

Xiu was very pleased, 'Not bad! Among us... there are actually three people with talents. As the team leader, I'm very happy!

"Sorry, everyone, I may have to slow you down. You all have more or less skills, but I don't. I wanted to learn the Ice Arrow, but the instructor said it would cost 10 silver coins, which is really...'

'Ice arrow? Is that a special item?' 'No, it's a skill. For archers, Ice Arrow is a very common technique, but there are strict requirements for the arrows. Even if I learn it, I won't be able to use it for a while.'

"So you have to pay to learn skills or magic? 'Of course!'

'That's strange. That old man taught me more than ten spells, but he didn't ask for money. Why is that?" "Really?

Xial, whose teacup was about to fall, was very uncomfortable. Jarro understood and slapped his forehead helplessly: "It seems that the old man has taken care of me too much! If I earn enough money in the future, I will pay him back. Uh, don't stay here any longer, go to the guild and choose a quest!

It didn't take long for Jarro and his party to arrive at the Adventurers' Guild. As president and receptionist, Judy was frankly not very optimistic about the team, but in order to give people hope, she was still very polite today.

I can't believe you're just getting here! Two hours ago, the rest of the teams had already chosen their quests. Now... they're probably off fighting monsters, or maybe even on their way back. How disorganised are you?

My little kittens, looking at you like that, are you afraid?

No, please don't make wild guesses! We are confident that we can complete the task successfully, because we are here! But having heard the chairman say that, I have a question for him. What happens if the adventurers... don't go on the mission and stay in town, or go out and don't come back?

Judy had a very bad impression of Jarro, so she said angrily, 'Boy, are you trying to avoid this? The Adventurers' Guild has no such rule. If you want to live a comfortable life, I won't stop you. But the world is much more dangerous than you think, and Tachira City is not necessarily safe. Right now, the city is only temporarily safe.

Young man, once you leave the city, you will understand how cruel the world is. The only way to survive is to become strong! The reason for the existence of the Adventurer's Guild is to gather a group of motivated people who want to become strong and also protect humanity.

Xiu had finally chosen his quest, and upon hearing this, he could not help but ask, "President, what is the mortality rate for adventurers on quests? The apprentice adventurers in our group...'

'Oh? You're the captain? This is... something for the captain to worry about, but I advise you to mind your own business!'

A Crusade mission? That's a good choice! When you actually face the monsters, don't be afraid. I hope you can do your best. If you feel that you can't defeat the monsters, don't hesitate to retreat immediately. Do you understand?

Thank you for your advice, President. We will definitely pay attention to it. See you later!

Shortly after Jaro and the others left, the hall of the Adventurers' Guild suddenly fell silent, leaving Judy alone at the counter in despair. There have been some anomalies in this area recently. Should we send someone to secretly protect them? Unfortunately, two new teams have already been there. I hope these newcomers will return safely.

Whenever new people are sent out of the city to die, those good-for-nothings will mock them all the way.

At the moment, they are all leaving the city. The others are fine, but Xiaren can't stand the atmosphere and is so nervous he can barely hold his shield. If Jarro hadn't said something, it would have been hard for him to calm down: Xiaren, don't worry! Just ignore these people and concentrate on walking!

So the five of them left the eastern city gate under the scornful eyes of the crowd. Jaro was always at the back and was inevitably urged on: 'Jaro, please hurry up! It's true that wizards often hide in the back and fight, but there's no need for you to do that!

We haven't even arrived yet, so what's the hurry? It's not very far, so there's no need to hurry!
