"?"

Anna, who had been standing quietly aside and being invisible, suddenly felt that she seemed a little redundant. What was going on?

Why did you suddenly exclude yourself?

Anna's elf ears trembled slightly, and for a moment they turned red with excitement: "Sister Monica! I am not a burden. As a member of the team, I cannot be excluded."

Although she has awakened the profession of Shadow Elf, Anna believes that she is still a loyal and trustworthy elf!

Since you are in Mark's team, you have to face all kinds of difficulties together with your companions!

Even if there is a dead end ahead, no elf will retreat!

Seeing that her request did not attract the attention of Mark and Monica at all, Anna hurriedly said: "I can use shadow arrows to release shadow magic across several miles! You don't need to take any risks at all. We may be able to complete the sabotage mission that Mr. Mark mentioned from a distance!"

Mark turned to look at Monica helplessly, his eyes full of blame:

See, you’ve made a good start!

Judging from the methods used by the black-robed man who escaped earlier, Anna's long-range attack ability probably wouldn't be able to cause much interference to them.

Monica, a melee assassin, will have no chance of escaping any good if she meets those guys!

But Monica just rolled her eyes at Mark and held Anna's hand and asked, "Have you thought it through? Those black-robed men may all be above the intermediate level!"

"Yes! I've thought about it!" Anna nodded without hesitation.

"That's no problem! We must be included in this mission! But..."

…

That night, Mark and the other two were in the Rotten Bone Swamp and couldn't sleep.

In the high priest's cabin in the Black Gold Gang's headquarters, there were also two people sitting opposite each other, not yet asleep.

One is Vicky, a slim-figured Black Gold Gang agent stationed in Osborne Town with a nose ring, and the other is the high priest Xingyue, who is completely covered in the Xingyue priest robe and mask, revealing no trace of his face.

When Xingyue's mind returned from the faraway Rotten Bone Swamp.

The scenes that took place in the Rotten Bone Swamp were also displayed in the cabin.

Seeing the mandatory task Xingyue had given Mark, Vicky couldn't help but look at Xingyue and frowned, saying, "Isn't this task a bit too unreasonable? They simply don't have the ability to complete this kind of task, right?"

"What's unreasonable about that?" Xingyue said without any manners as she lay down on the wooden bed in a big spread-eagle position when no one was around. "Also, Vicky! You have to call me High Priest in the base!"

"High Priest! That man is at least a fifth-level warrior. You are playing with his life by entrusting the task to Mark. Mr. Mark is not a consumable like those ordinary adventurers! If anything happens to Mr. Mark, Lord God's Envoy..."

"Don't mention that old thing to me."

Xingyue lay on the bed with her back to Vicky, her head propped up, looking dissatisfied. The soft black priest robe showed off her perfect figure.

"It will take at least ten days for that black-robed man to awaken the Fallen Asian Dragon, and I gave Mark a full ten days to disrupt the ritual. I only asked him to disrupt the ritual, not to kill the black-robed man. If he can't even complete such a simple task, then he doesn't deserve to accept Xingyue's gift. I don't have to fulfill the task that old man forced on me!"

"...I think the last sentence is your purpose!"

"Oops~ I accidentally said what I really thought. Sister Vicky, you won't tell anyone else, right?"

"Oh!" Vicky sighed deeply.

She didn't tell Xingyue that the Great Elder seemed to have said before that the Divine Envoy Irene had treated the priest of the Holy Light Church in the same way at the beginning.

————

Since that night.

The poisonous miasma of the Rotten Bone Swamp surged endlessly between dawn and dusk, while Mark and his two companions repeatedly collected mission materials at dawn and dusk when the ghost mushroom spores were most active.

After the experience of collecting spores on the first day, the three people were familiar with the subsequent collection process.

Because some ghost mushrooms that grow in specific environments will release illusions.

Mark and Monica took turns collecting spores.

Anna walked at the end of the team to provide protection.

Once someone is disturbed by the illusion, Anna will shoot natural magic arrows to weave a vine wall to block the blue light of the ghost mushroom, and then another person will expel the illusion for the person who is in the illusion.

After two days of searching an area of ​​five or six miles, the three finally filled ten bottles with spore powder at dusk on the third day. Thus, the mission they had taken on from the Adventurer's Guild was completed.

After completing the task, the three men packed up and rushed to the northeast through the mud.

The swamp poisonous lizards, carrion vultures and bone leeches hidden in various rotten bones encountered along the way became excellent whetstones for the three-person team.

Most of the monsters living in this swamp are inedible and look rather ugly.

But their strength is usually above level two.

The three people's professional experience was greatly improved in the Rotten Bone Swamp.

When the three of them arrived at the Poison Mist Swamp on the fourth day, Monica's Shadow Assassin was only one step away from being promoted to the intermediate level.

Anna has actually successfully broken through to the second level and become a third level professional.

It is good to have professionals like Anna and Monica who have clear protection from gods. When they are at the middle and low levels, they only need to pray regularly every day, and the faith value is enough to upgrade their professional level.

Unlike Mark, although his second-level professional experience has reached the maximum value, he still doesn't know when he can have another adventure to replenish his true faith value. Only then will he be qualified to become a third-level professional.
