Without its thick shell, the armored tortoise-snake is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.
The Ice Flower Adventure Team pressed their advantage and took down the enormous monster in just a few minutes.
On the Adventurers' Guild side, the onlookers also cheered.
A variety of gazes, some admiring and some surprised, fell upon Linda.
Although they didn't know how Linda knew the weakness of the armored tortoise-snake, her willingness to reveal this secret was a great thing for all adventurers.
Without Linda's wise advice, the Ice Flower Adventure Team would have already used return scrolls and sheepishly retreated from the twelfth floor.
Jeban, the logistics officer for Binghua, blushed and almost knelt down in excitement.
If it weren't for Linda's help today, not only would everyone have lost a return scroll, but it would also have been a heavy blow to the morale of the Ice Flower Adventure Team.
"Mr. Linda, please do visit the Ice Flower Adventure Team! Oh, no, our captain will definitely pay you a visit another day!"
"No need to be so polite. We'll help each other out from now on," Linda said with a faint smile.
Beside him, Kaphni kept tugging at his clothes, giving him a knowing look that said, "Hurry up and get some money."
Linda pretended not to see it.
On the crystal screen, Isa bowed deeply, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled, "Linda, are you still there? I've changed my mind now, and I'll definitely make you a member of the Ice Flower team."
Upon hearing this, a chorus of boos erupted in the room, and the way people looked at Linda changed.
Many people were unaware that Linda had left the Snow Goose Adventure Team. In their eyes, the Ice Flower Captain's enthusiastic invitation was tantamount to openly poaching members from the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
Given the terrible relationship between Xueyan and Captain Binghua, it wouldn't be surprising if that red-haired girl came knocking on their door at any time.
Everyone was also curious about how Linda managed to hook up with two adventure team captains who were at odds with each other.
If it were anyone else, Isa probably wouldn't have trusted the golden advice I just gave.
Because it was Linda, Isa took the gluttony potion and used the extremely energy-consuming 'Ice Blade Waltz'.
After understanding this, many adventurers felt like they had a lemon in their mouths, extremely sour.
Only Linda found it very troublesome.
He would not join anyone's team, even if Isha's invitation was very sincere.
“Oh, right… those two level 20 magic cores,” he said to Jeban.
“No need to return it, of course not!” Jeban said with a smile, “I’d love to give you two more level 20 magic cores.”
However, compared to Linda's kindness, a level 20 magic core is simply not enough!
We'll have to decide how to thank Linda specifically once Isha returns.
"oh."
Linda waited for a while, but didn't see Jeban's hand reach into the bag.
This guy's clueless.
After Jeban left, watching him respectfully, Kafni couldn't help but blurt out, "You want money? Are you stupid? Why didn't you ask that guy for gold coins?"
Linda shook her head. "They didn't offer it, but you're asking for it. You've already used up half of the favor. Besides, Isha has a good reputation and won't forget what happened today. We're all in White Dove City, and we'll run into each other all the time. Who knows, we might need Isha's help someday. Keeping this favor is much better than asking for some gold coins."
Besides, they still had nine silver coins, so they weren't completely broke.
After listening, Kaphni seemed thoughtful. "You know quite a lot."
After all, it's a technology that's been passed down through generations and is used to strangle others.
Linda thought of it.
...
An hour later, at the Tequila House pub in the inner city.
Inside a luxurious private room on the third floor, the Ice Flower Adventure Team was holding a victory celebration banquet.
Isa, dressed casually and with her silver hair tied back in a ponytail with an orange ribbon, sat at the head of the round table and spoke to Jeban, who had just arrived:
"Have you found out why Linda left the Snow Goose Adventure Team?"
Mentioning Linda, the members of the Ice Flower team all got excited and started chattering away:
"Captain, we must recruit that kind of person. I've been wanting to spar with that 'Eye of Wisdom' on healing techniques for a long time."
"Yes, although it's quite tragic that he dropped to level 0, once he catches up, he can quickly become a great asset to the team and is worth developing."
"Just because he's a former member of the Snow Goose Adventure Team and is willing to help us, he deserves to be included despite not meeting the usual requirements."
The Ice Flower team members are half male and half female, and they all speak highly of Linda.
Logistics officer Jeban, panting, said, "Captain, I heard from Chrona that she was bribed with just a few snacks!"
"Krona said that Linda was kicked out by Leah because she was too insignificant, and Leah even claimed that if Linda went back, no one was allowed to sympathize with her."
"It seems that Linda is definitely not going to return to the Snow Goose Adventure Team."
Jeban couldn't help but laugh: "This is a great opportunity."
Isa nodded.
She figured that no matter what, she had to find a way to get Linda to join Ice Flower. It was worthwhile to train an excellent healer from scratch.
However, how can we repay this favor today? Someone like Linda shouldn't lack gold coins; she probably amassed quite a bit while with the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
Moreover, giving her gold coins would make her seem vulgar and might lower her impression of Linda.
Isabella, who has always been reluctant to owe anyone anything, is troubled about how to repay the kindness.
Fanis, the healer and best friend in the team, suddenly leaned close to her ear and winked mischievously: "Captain, you're getting on in years, shouldn't you find a boyfriend? He'd be so happy if you went on a date with Linda! After all, you're so beautiful, Captain!"
"A date?"
Isa blushed, slammed her large wooden mug full of ale on the table, and said angrily, "I'm still young, I'm not old enough to find a boyfriend yet!"
Hahahaha.
The private room was filled with the team members' cheerful laughter.
...
"Next time we meet, I should congratulate Isa on breaking through to the 12th floor and entering the ranks of the top teams in White Dove City."
As night fell, Linda led Kaphni on foot to the rental area.
He couldn't help but feel a little envious as he replayed the scene on the crystal screen of the Ice Flower Adventure Team working together to besiege the Armored Turtle-Snake.
Every member of the Ice Flower team trusts Isa deeply, and Isa feels the same way about her teammates.
As Isa charged toward the armored tortoise-snake, all the team members followed, entering the tortoise-snake's attack range.
Even though the team members questioned the correctness of Isha's actions.
Linda thought about the Snow Goose Adventure Team she had been in, and her head immediately started to ache.
In terms of individual skills, Xueyan's members are much better than Binghua's, but when they team up, they are just a disorganized mess.
He also wanted to form a team like Ice Flower.
However, creating a party requires registration with the Adventurers' Guild.
Only unemployed 'free agents' are qualified to create teams.
Linda scratched her head in distress.
Strictly speaking, he still belongs to the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
To become a 'free agent', you must obtain a certificate of withdrawal from the team signed by the team leader and have it stamped by the Adventurers' Guild.
Only by praying before the statue of the World Tree Goddess can one completely shed their identity as a member of the Snow Goose Clan.
