"What?! He's nothing like what the newspapers said! He's not the gentle 'Eye of Truth' at all! How rude!"
"Exactly, exactly. This kind of person is actually an outstanding adventurer in White Dove City. In my opinion, this kind of city is not worth Father's investment at all."
“I also want to tell my father to withdraw his investment plan in White Dove City.”
The three young ladies spoke loudly, as if they were deliberately trying to make Linda hear them.
But Linda ignored them completely and didn't go back to slap each of the three of them, even though he had a good temper.
The magical elevator shut down, isolating itself from the noise.
Linda finally had some peace and quiet.
Seeing that he didn't look too good, Pena smiled helplessly and said, "Captain Linda, please don't mind. The three of them are just children and can't possibly influence an adult's decision."
"I heard them mention an 'investment plan,' what's that all about?" Linda asked casually.
"That's right, because the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad was featured in the Adventurers' Weekly, it attracted some wealthy and powerful nobles."
They are considering investing in White Dove City to build more training grounds, entertainment facilities, high-rise buildings...
This is beneficial to the urban development of Baige City.
President Vilen was extremely busy with this matter.
But Captain Linda seems to be facing some difficulties. Please don't worry about this; no matter what happens, President Velen and I will firmly support you!
Pena said emphatically.
As a confidant of Velen, Velen had privately told her that the Phoenix Flower was an adventure team with the potential to become a rising star, and that she must befriend them.
While investments by nobles are important, they cannot compare to those of a rising-level adventure team.
Linda nodded, indicating that she understood.
After leaving the trading company, he and his team took a carriage to the Adventurers' Guild to meet Bai Luo.
"It's all settled. Xuanfeng City will send a Moon-Rank adventurer to deliver the [Shockwave Detector] overnight."
In the office, Bai Luo occupied Viren's leather chair, her small face adorned with the red-rimmed glasses she wore for work, resembling a stern female teacher. She spoke to Linda:
"I, the Dean, order you to get some rest tonight. Tomorrow at noon, the cultists' teleportation array will open in the barren grasslands. You must be in top condition to face them!"
"Thank you for your concern, Dean." Lin Da bowed respectfully, expressing his gratitude.
Without Bai Luo, his plan would be difficult to execute.
He remembered this favor.
Sooner or later, Linda will go to Azure City to repay the little kitten girl in front of her.
After that, he went back to the villa to rest.
The night outside the window was already deep.
Linda tossed and turned, her mind filled with thoughts of tomorrow, unable to sleep.
It's not that I'm afraid of entering the cult's lair.
His main concern was Monica's mental state.
When I reopened the team panel and initiated the dream entry guidance, the prompts that popped up were exactly the same:
[The team member's mental space was detected to be closed, preventing them from entering a dream!]
There are two possibilities.
Monica didn't sleep.
Or perhaps, their inner world is closed off, making them completely autistic and unable to communicate with others in their dreams!
Monica was already a bit withdrawn, and being captured by Halus made her even more withdrawn!
Linda was filled with murderous intent, wishing she could tear Herus to pieces.
I got up and washed my face with cold water, which calmed me down.
"I have 6 skill points left, I'll use them all."
Linda sat on the sofa in the living room, opened the control panel, and started adding numbers like crazy.
[Consumes 4 skill points, Guardian Sword level increases from lv2 to lv4, dealing 'significant' damage and applying a Guardian Shield equal to 60% to 80% of maximum health. The target of the Guardian Shield immediately recovers 50% of their maximum health!]
[Consumes 2 skill points, Intermediate Healing Spell level lv1→lv3, healing amount +30%!]
To ensure she could hold out until reinforcements arrived, Linda chose to enhance her recovery skills.
The ultimate skill, Guardian Sword, provides an enhanced shield, greatly improving survivability.
After upgrading to new star-tier equipment and allocating skill points, an intermediate healer can restore approximately 6500 health points with a single heal.
A normal level 30 warrior class has about 6500 HP.
This is equivalent to Linda casting an intermediate healing spell, which can instantly restore a level 30 warrior's health to full.
With these two strong guarantees, Linda felt much more at ease.
Noon the next day.
Barren grassland.
Although it was noon, the sun was not visible.
Dark clouds rolled overhead, as if a black sea was roaring across the sky.
From the bushes of the barren grassland, blue, jelly-like slimes peek out, excitedly looking up at the sky, waiting for the sweet rain to fall.
*Splat*
Linda's expression was indifferent as she stepped on a level 3 slime.
He stomped on the monster until it burst open, its transparent entrails splattering onto the ground and grass.
The surrounding slimes were so frightened that they ran away.
Linda had a stern expression. She wore a brown overcoat and carried an epic-grade earth dragon longsword. The sword was made from the scales of an earth dragon, was about one and a half meters long, and was brown in color. A coiled earth dragon was depicted on the hilt.
A powerful aura of magic emanated from Linda without any attempt to conceal it.
All the monsters on the barren grassland—slimes, vampire bats, black-armored scorpions—instinctively sensed the arrival of a terrifying being.
Like migrating wild beasts, they ran wildly away from Linda.
The monster levels in the barren grasslands range from 1 to 10.
The appearance of Linda, a level 33 Star-Rank Adventurer, here is tantamount to a dimensional attack.
But today, he seemed oblivious to the monster, letting it escape.
