Lieyan also kept asking Shuiyun about the things he cared about most.
"The quest for the Upper Rock Dragon... Let me see... Ah, I found it. This is a quest for the Upper Rock Dragon, shared by the Guild of Jieyun Village."
Shui Yun turned the scrolls piled on the table and found one with the Jieyun seal on it.
"Jieyun Village? Is it the village famous for its hot springs?" Lieyan blinked his eyes. "A mission for a high-level rock dragon, can't they solve it themselves?"
If he remembered correctly, Jieyun Village seemed to be the birthplace of a certain monster hunting game. Where did their protagonist go?
Shui Yun slowly unfolded the scroll: "The Jieyun Village Guild has never had its own exclusive hunter. Hunters who go to the Jieyun Village area to hunt are assigned by the guild.
The hunter assigned by the guild last time has been recruited into the investigation team and is heading to the new continent for investigation, so Jieyun Village is now in a state of lack of combat power. "
"So that's how it is. No wonder all the missions are sent here." Lieyan suddenly realized.
He was not really clear about this. In the one and a half years since he came here, he spent the first year in training and the second half on missions. He had no spare time to learn other information.
"However, it seems that the rock dragon has not brought any impact to Jieyun Village at this time. It is just absorbing geothermal heat from across the mountain. Therefore, the requirement of this mission is to capture the rock dragon.
After the capture is completed, the guild will take over and release the Rock Dragon to a place far away from Jieyun Village.
In terms of quest rewards, in addition to the materials that can be stripped from the rock dragon, you can also enjoy three free visits to the Jieyun Hot Spring and its supporting facilities. If hunters go as a team, the entire team of hunters will enjoy the same treatment. "
"How about it? Do you want to accept this mission?" Shui Yun raised her eyes and looked at the flames. Her eyes were full of light, like two silver moons falling into a deep pool.
"So, there will be a three-day trip to the hot springs after the mission is completed?"
"In Jieyun Village, if you want to get the same bonus effect as Tuanzi, you need to take a hot spring bath," Shuiyun reminded.
"I see. What if there are still a few free chances left after catching the rock dragon?"
Lieyan understood immediately.
Isn’t this mission in Jieyun Village just an activity mission in disguise, with three cats and restricted capture?
He is very familiar with this.
"You can enjoy the same treatment after catching the rock dragon," Shui Yun smiled slightly, "It can be used to eliminate the fatigue of fighting for days."
"That seems pretty good."
Lieyan's eyes lit up.
The opportunity to slack off that he had been dreaming of was here?
"It's really good. If my sister and I weren't so busy with work, we might have accepted this mission."
Hearing Lieyan's words, Shuiyun also nodded, and a hint of longing appeared on her face, which had become gentler when talking about her sister.
Hot springs, she hasn't been there with her sister for a long time.
"There will definitely be opportunities in the future." Lieyan consoled him, and then asked, "By the way, if I accept this mission and go to Jieyun Village, how long will it take?"
"The transportation to Jieyun Village is inconvenient. Although there are usually traveling merchants traveling back and forth between us, it still takes ten days. However, if we rely solely on the speed of the Fanghounds to travel quickly, it will probably take four days to go back and forth."
Shuiyun thought about it and gave an answer based on her own experience.
She and Huoya used to be hunters. When the two sisters were still hunters, they accepted missions from Jieyun Village and set out from Yanhuo Village to Jieyun Village.
"It takes four days to go back and forth..."
Lieyan silently calculated the time in his heart.
As I recall, Finn seemed to have mentioned that the expedition to the deeper levels of the dungeon was also a race against time. It would take at least five days just to reach the 50th floor, plus the time to explore new floors and return, so an expedition would last almost two weeks.
When the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons occurred, it was the second day of the clan's expedition to the underground city. Counting the past few days, it has been seven days.
In other words, if he set out now, captured the rock dragon, and came back after enjoying three days of hot springs, he would still have enough time and it would not affect the exchange of supplies between the clan and the village.
In that case, this can be done, and you can also take a few days off and relieve your physical fatigue.
To be honest, it is really tiring to fight five dragons in five days, especially the mud fish dragon today. Not only was I tired, but I was also mentally devastated.
"Okay, I'll accept this mission." Lieyan made the decision immediately.
"As expected of a raging flame."
Shui Yun clapped her hands gently in front of her chest, encouraging her like she was coaxing a child, and then separated the scroll that was unfolded on the table, re-tied the one with the axis and handed it to Lieyan, and kept the rest as proof of the task.
This means you have accepted the mission.
Lieyan put away the scroll, rode on Onion, took Elu with him, and set off immediately with one man, one dog, and one cat.
There are rock dragons and hot springs, and he has to soak in the hot springs before the battle. This task is perfect for him now.
It just so happened that he had hunted five dragons in the past few days, so his experience points should have increased. When he arrived at Jieyun Village, he would find an opportunity to open a door, find Loki to update his ability points, and then go and beat the Rock Dragon.
Isn't it beautiful?
After imagining what would happen next, Lieyan was suddenly full of hope for the future.
Jieyun Village,
I am here!!

at the same time.
"Ais, you have to defeat that monster alone."
In the midst of a war with an unprecedented monster, the expressionless Dwarf Warrior looked up at the blonde girl with golden eyes and gave an order.
Naturally, the rest of the people who regarded the girl as their family were furious, and the Yamabuki-iro spirit was the first to cry out in pain.
"Please wait a moment, Captain! Please let me support Miss Ais!"
"There's no time to talk about this now. Don't make me say it a second time."
The voice of the Dwarf Warrior was icy, and contained the pressure of a cruel tyrant. When everyone heard this, it was as if a cold wind was blowing through their hearts, spreading over the ice crystals.
However, no one raised any objection again.
Only at this moment, everyone knew that the tyrant-like will that ruled everything could not be violated.
Because he, who made this decision, understood the heaviness of this decision better than anyone else, and he hated this decision more than anyone else.
He also understood that the girl he had entrusted with the important task was qualified and capable of shouldering such a task.
"I'll be fine, don't worry."
The girl's voice reached everyone's ears, and the blonde swordsman spoke, holding her beloved sword in her hand, and stepped forward without hesitation.
"Everyone, prepare to retreat. Raul, signal Livilia and the others to retreat as well, and only keep the minimum supplies!"
The order was issued.
The long and short blond hair were intertwined.
Chapter 47: Focus on one point and reach the pinnacle
"Finn, what's going on? Why did you give the signal to retreat? Where's Ais?"
Livilia, who was covered in flames and had just led the Elf Wizards to clear out the surrounding worm-type monsters,
Anxious and shocked voices rang in the ears of the people who were quickly retreating from the front line of the battle. Normally, the sentences that were just simple inquiries became particularly harsh at this moment.
Raul pursed his lips, his face pale. The Amazon sisters looked away, ashamed. The wolf let out a loud "tsk" sound, like a wounded beast, restless. The veteran Grace also lowered his head and remained silent.
Finally, Finn.
The coldness covering that childlike face shattered under the earnest questioning. He sighed and revealed a bitter expression.
"We encountered a monster that is difficult to deal with. It is a super large upper-level worm monster that can manipulate scale powder to launch explosive attacks. I'll call Aisi to cover the rear."
"Finn?!" The voice of the Elf Royal Family rose high, and they looked at the leader of the clan in front of them in astonishment.
Did she hear it wrong? The person in front of her was actually Ai Si, the lone rear guard?
"..."
Finn's heart was consumed by bitterness and regret, and he could not utter a word. Livilia's stunned voice was like a blazing flame, burning his soul.
He hated himself for giving the order and leaving his companions alone.
But the coldest reason made him make a judgment,
This is the only way to get rid of the monster and minimize the damage.
That monster can manipulate its scales to create explosions, and like the new type of worm monster, it can release powerful corrosive liquid to attack. Among all the people present, only Aisi, who can manipulate the wind, is that guy's natural enemy.
Anyone else being there would only cause trouble for Aisi.
"..."
Faced with the leader's silence, Livilia picked up her staff without saying a word, walked past Finn, and wanted to go to the battle site in the distance where explosions were constantly being heard.
"Riveliya."
Just as the two were about to pass each other, Finn made a sound.
"I'm sorry, you can blame me all you want later, but now, please follow my command."
"Is this the commander's order?"
"This is the captain's order. Trust Aisi, Livilia."
"……it is good."
After a conversation, Livilia stopped walking, and then, as if she wanted to vent all her emotions, she urged the clan members who were still nearby in a voice that was totally inconsistent with her image to act quickly, integrate the small amount of resources, and move away from the direction of the battlefield where Ais was.
Evacuate the crowd and create a large enough fighting space for Aisi.
She also had a cool head. The moment she lost the qualification to support Ai Si, she understood Finn's idea, thought about what she should do next, and put it into action.
The people around them seemed to know the purpose of their coming here, and they all began to assist Livilia in her work. Diona and Bert even used Kinsects to maneuver without any concealment.
In response to this silent protest, Finn could only smile bitterly.
This time, he angered the public again.
Fortunately, as long as Ai Si returns victoriously, the anger of others will almost completely disappear. In the following period of time, at most she will have to endure Livilya's cold eyes for a few days. By the time she is about to reach the ground, her anger should have almost subsided.
Alas, the motherhood of elves is really troublesome...
As for the problem of Kinsect, we'll think of a solution later.
