"Oh, that's right."

After hearing Fang Zheng's reminder, Hellion hurriedly took out the parchment scroll she had received from the Inspector, and spread it on the table and opened it. Others around her also came over curiously to read the contents.

The above content is very simple. In a place called the Top of Ice and Snow, a dazzling and strange light has appeared every night recently, causing some troubles to the residents nearby. Therefore, their mission this time is to go to the Top of Ice and Snow, investigate this matter, and solve it.

The whole task seemed very simple to Fang Zheng, but after reading the contents on the parchment scroll, Fina showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"This is really troublesome..."

"Is this a problem, Miss Fina?"

Hearing Fina mumbling to herself, Hellion couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The Ice and Snow Peak should be in the center of the continent. Is there any danger there?"

Hellion's doubts were normal, because according to common sense in this world, except for a few well-known "forbidden areas", other places are more dangerous the closer to the Chaos Boundary. The Ice and Snow Peak is located in the center of the continent, which can be said to be the farthest place from the Chaos Boundary, and it is not a restricted area for idle people to enter. Logically speaking, there should be no danger.

"I'm not sure whether it's dangerous or not, but I know there's some trouble there."

"trouble?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng also raised his eyebrows curiously. It was not easy for Fina to say this. Before, she said that the trouble was still because of the Hell Gate in the Dark Swamp, and now... it couldn't be that this place was more dangerous than the Dark Swamp. If that was the case, then why bother with the graduation exam? This was clearly a waste of time.

"Any questions?"

"Yes, Mr. Founder."

Fina nodded, then sighed as if she had thought of something.

"Although many people think that there is no danger there, there are many troubles. I have passed through that area when I was on a pilgrimage before. Perhaps you don't know that next to the Ice and Snow Peak is the Forest of Life... It is the territory of the elves. The Ice and Snow Peak is the gathering place of the dwarves... In addition, there are frost giants there. If you are unlucky and encounter the hunting season of the dark elves, the dark elves will also come out from the caves under the Ice and Snow Peak... In short..."

"Maybe it's not dangerous, but there will definitely be a lot of trouble..."

Now Fang Zheng also understood what Fina meant. Indeed, the Ice and Snow Peak was far away from the Chaos Border, so there was no need to worry about Chaos monsters invading there. But on the other hand, even if they were all Order races, it did not mean that they could live in harmony. Elves and Dark Elves were mortal enemies, and Dwarves and Frost Giants were also in a relationship where they would fight each other with axes when they met.

In this situation, a group of humans rushed in recklessly...

Fang Zheng felt a headache just thinking about it.

"But I can't not go."

Hellion looked at the scroll in her hand with a bitter face.

"It says that we are required to resolve the abnormality within two months... Ah, the client is the Haifalis Guild..."

Hearing this, Fina put her hands on her head and fell on the table.

“…Is it that troublesome?”

It was truly rare to be able to make the priestess, who remained calm even when facing the six-armed snake demon and the swarms of evil cultists during the ceremony, show such an expression.

"...The Haifalis Guild is the largest human force in that area. They have always hoped to expand their influence on the top of the ice and snow..."

Well, this time I am once again involved in the struggle between humans and other races.

Even Fang Zheng helplessly stretched out his hand to press his forehead. Although there was no official division, it had been the territory of elves and dwarves for thousands of years. Now humans were pretending to be the masters of that place and investigating the abnormalities that occurred on the top of the ice and snow... If this didn't cause disgust among the native races there, that would be a miracle.

"but……"

At this time, the astrologer sister spoke tremblingly.

"But...we still have to go..."

"Yeah... unless you don't want to pass the test..."

Hellion also sighed deeply. She was not stupid. She just didn't know the situation there before. After listening to Fina's introduction of the situation there, anyone with a normal brain could understand how troublesome the muddy water was. But as the astrology sister said, unless they didn't want to "graduate", no matter how troublesome the mission was, they had to go in, right?

But in the end, it was Fang Zheng who resolved the topic.

"In short, there is no point in sighing here at the moment. What we need to do is to investigate the matter of the light that appeared on the top of the ice and snow. Since these lights have caused trouble to the nearby residents, it must not be just humans. We can ask them first. If it is caused by elves and dwarves, then as long as we investigate it clearly, the rest of the matter can be handed over to the local person in charge to negotiate and deal with them. If it has nothing to do with these races, we will continue to follow up."

"That's true."

After hearing Fang Zheng's analysis, the crowd, who were originally a little depressed, suddenly cheered up again. And Fina, who was a little uneasy, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, with Mr. Fang Zheng here, we don't have to be so nervous. Mr. Fang Zheng has defeated several powerful and evil monsters before, so this little thing will definitely be no problem."

"In that case, why don't you be our captain, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

At this time, Hailien also looked at Fang Zheng seriously and then spoke. Fang Zheng was stunned when he heard Hailien's suggestion.

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, Mr. Founder!"

The astrologer sister also nodded vigorously.

"According to the rules, anyone can be a team leader as long as they are a member of a team!"

"I also think... if Mr. Fang Zheng were to be the captain... everyone would feel more at ease..."

At this time, Katie, who had hidden herself somewhere, also agreed.

It was no wonder that they had such a reaction. Needless to say, Sister Astrology and Fina had both been on adventures with Fang Zheng before, and they both recognized Fang Zheng's ability and level. Although Katie and Hellion had never been on adventures with Fang Zheng, their stories about Fang Zheng had long been circulated among the high-ranking officials of various countries - after all, for those nobles, knowing who not to provoke was a required lesson.

Especially people like Fang Zheng who are young, powerful, have a deep background and are ruthless, are the ones that all high-level classes have to pay close attention to. They don't think they have the ability of the Castina family - even if they have this ability, they will not provoke a Holy Spirit Knight who anyone who is not blind can see is favored by the Goddess of Order.

After all, the Castina family is a lesson learned.

Of course, in addition to Fang Zheng's own reputation, his "charm" is obviously one of the very important reasons. You should know that Fang Zheng's charm is "B++". Although it has not reached the level of "A" level of self-propelled human charm, it is enough for ordinary people to feel the reliable and calm charm shown by Fang Zheng, and they are easily persuaded by him. Not to mention... appearance is the common sensitivity of all living things.

Being handsome always has privileges.

And since everyone said so, Fang Zheng naturally would not refuse.

"In that case, I will unceremoniously take over the captain's duties."

After Fang Zheng took over the captain's duties, the four girls seemed to relax a lot, which was normal. After all, they were only teenagers. Except for Fina, the others had basically never left their own little land. But this time, they were going to an unfamiliar place for an adventure. Even Hellion, who seemed to be the strongest, was a little nervous. Now that they had someone they could rely on, and who was also an acquaintance of their teammates, it was naturally the best thing for them.

Next, out of curiosity, Fang Zheng also asked about the four girls. In fact, what Fang Zheng found most incredible was that these four members from four different countries would actually get together. Don't they care about the unspoken rule? You know, the reason why this "unspoken rule" exists is precisely because of the contradictory and sinister relationship between the four countries.

After all, things have become like this. If they form a team like this, even if they complete the mission, won't there be a bad record of "collaborating with foreign countries" (collaborating with the enemy country) left in their "political files"?

But what surprised Fang Zheng was that these four girls really didn't seem to care.

"The Order Alliance follows the teachings of the Goddess of Order. I believe that under the guidance of the Goddess, everything will be fine."

This is what Fina, a priestess, said.

"Grandpa said that after I graduate, I will become a formal royal astrologer. By then, I will have to deal with people from other countries. This can be considered as my test."

This is what the astrologer said.

"Anyway, whether I graduate or not, those guys won't take me seriously, so I don't care what they think!"

This was the answer from the red-haired girl Hellion.

"After graduation, I can leave the Chamber of Commerce, so I don't care about those little things!"

This was Katie's response, who was hiding her figure and could not be seen at all.

Therefore, Fang Zheng could be sure that he had encountered a team that could not be more weird this time.
