Just like when he passed through the town gate at night before, there was no guard on the walls of Osborne Town.
The city gate was also wide open.
Every time he saw this kind of scene, Mark was full of doubts about what was the significance of Osborne Town setting up a special duty of guarding the city walls?
It was neither a deserted city nor had the curfew system of some important war towns.
Anyone can come and go at the city gate as they please.
They say it's to guard against a beast tide in the Warcraft Mountains, but if that's really the case, wouldn't it be enough to just set up a few outposts in the mountains?
Why bother setting up such a meaningless position?
Mark didn't understand, but he also respected the actions of the high-ranking officers of the Dragon Slaying City Guard.
After all, he is just a powerless and ignorant civilian who has never been exposed to a real battlefield. Perhaps there is a deep meaning behind setting up these daily patrol wall guards.
After all, Monica has identified that these guards are all above the intermediate level.
They are much stronger than the guards of Shichui Town, a rich mining town. Experts like them are used to patrol and guard the city. It is impossible that they are just there to eat and do nothing.
Just as Mark and the other two were about to step out of the shadowy city gate and into the cold moonlight outside the city.
Several familiar figures chased after him from a side street behind the city gate.
"Mr. Mark! Ms. Monica! Ms. Anna! What a coincidence!"
The three of them paused and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a group of six people from the Beta Adventure Group walking quickly from a side street behind the city gate. Jimmy, who was leading the group, had a look of surprise on his face and was waving his arms.
Beta followed calmly behind, followed by Siqi, Jack, Jerry, and a new face carrying an exquisite iron-framed bow.
Apparently they had recruited more people after Anna left.
Mark still remembered that at the banquet of the three major adventure groups, Beta said that there would be no new members for the time being.
It seems that it was only after Ana left that Beta realized the importance of having a long-range DPS to the team.
Well, even if Beta is a friend.
Mark definitely didn't feel sorry for Monica poaching Anna from the Beta Adventure Group.
"Holy Light, what a coincidence!" Beta walked forward, patted Jimmy's shoulder, and signaled him to be quiet. "Did you just get back? ... Are you going into the mountains again?"
Beta's eyes swept over the dusty clothes of the three members of Mark's team, especially lingering for a moment on the slightly tired faces of Monica and Anna, with a barely perceptible trace of inquiry in his eyes.
If he saw correctly, the equipment on Mark and Monica was different from the clothes underneath, and looked like brand new equipment.
However, the equipment seemed to be camouflaged, and he couldn't tell its level.
However, just by looking at the workmanship, you can tell that these equipments are not the junk sold on the market in Osborne Town.
"Captain Beta, Jimmy." Mark smiled appropriately and nodded. "Yes, I just finished the gathering mission and handed it in to the guild. I just updated my equipment and am preparing to enter the World of Warcraft Mountains again."
Noticing Beta's gaze, Mark did not hide the fact that he had changed his equipment.
However, he deliberately blurred out more private information such as the equipment level, and glanced at the Beta team, who were also fully armed. "From the looks of it, you guys are also heading out?"
It’s not that Mark doesn’t trust Beta, with whom he had a life-and-death relationship.
But compared to Monica and Anna, Beta is not a "comrade" who can keep secrets together, not to mention that there is now a newcomer in their team who they don't know.
“Haha, that’s right!”
Beta was a veteran adventurer and knew what to ask and what not to ask. He also knew the strength of Mark and Monica, so it was not surprising that they could update their equipment in less than a month.
He smiled heartily and patted the bulging leather bag at his waist, which contained a mission scroll:
"We've already completed the Steel-Tooth Boar tusk quest. We returned the night before yesterday and rested for a day. Now we're about to tackle the tough mithril mine by the Falling Star Lake."
He pointed in the direction of the Monster Mountain Range and continued, "Starfall Lake is west of the Poison Mist Swamp, not too far away. So, the quest you just completed should be the Moon Shadow Flower gathering quest, right? Now we're heading to the Rotten Bone Swamp to complete another quest, right?"
He asked seemingly casually, but his eyes held the shrewdness of an old adventurer.
Although it was not stated explicitly, Beta was actually inviting Mark and the other two to set off together.
You don't have to go through the Rotten Bone Swamp and the Poison Mist Swamp to go to the Fallen Star Lake, but if they have a priest like Mark with them, they can join forces and take a shortcut through the Poison Mist Swamp to get to the Fallen Star Lake.
Mark's heart moved slightly.
It seemed that Beta thought they had only completed one mission.
But I didn't expect that the two tasks I had taken on with him before were both completed.
"We're lucky. We've already completed the two quests we accepted from the Adventurer's Guild. We've already been to the Rotten Bone Swamp and the Poison Mist Swamp. This time we're going into the mountains just to try to improve our class level. It's still a bit difficult to complete the quests if we're not strong enough."
Mark did not deliberately conceal the fact that the mission was completed, but he did not mention what happened in the poisonous fog swamp between Spence and the Enlightenment Society.
There are some things that people like Beta know as little as possible about.
Mark was also quite tempted by Beta's implicit invitation.
Compared to the Rotten Bone Swamp, the Falling Star Lake is actually closer to the central area of the Warcraft Mountains, and the Warcraft there are not as low in material value as the Warcraft in the Rotten Dragon Swamp area.
In addition, it borders the Corrupted Dragon Swamp, and Mark can also take the opportunity to replenish the "Nightmare Servant Bone Leech" that has been consumed in the Corrupted Dragon Swamp.
Cooperating with Beta can be said to kill three birds with one stone!
But Mark overlooked one point. He did not hide the fact that the mission was completed, but the disguises on his head and Monica's head were still the state before the mission was completed.
One third order plus two second orders...
"What?!" The smile on Beta's face froze for a moment, and then was replaced.
Jimmy behind him exclaimed, "It's all done?! It's only been a few days? You...you guys are so fast!"
The look in his eyes when he looked at Mark and the other two was full of disbelief, especially when he glanced at Anna...
How long had Anna been away from their group? Her efficiency had skyrocketed to this point after following Mark?
Siqi, Jack and Jerry also exchanged shocked looks.
They were well aware of the dangers of the Rotten Bone Swamp and the Poison Mist Swamp, which was why their adventure group initially planned to take a detour to the Falling Star Lake.
Mark and his two companions were able to complete two collection tasks in such a short period of time. Their efficiency was incredible.
As for the newly joined archer, he was a young man with a stern face. After hearing what Mark said, he raised his eyebrows with some disdain.
He checked the personal panels of Mark and the other two the first time he saw them. Only one of them was at the third level and he still had the audacity to say that he had completed missions in the Rotten Bone Swamp and the Poisonous Mist Swamp?
These people from the Beta Adventure Group actually believed it?
It seems that the saying "birds of a feather flock together" is true. Once this mission is completed and the money is divided, I will quit the Beta Adventure Group!
