The summer is hot.
The scorching sun shines on the earth, and the light is refracted by the water vapor evaporating from the ground.
A small caravan of dozens of people was traveling on the road.
Everyone in the caravan was sweating profusely.
Following the caravan on both sides were four adventurers with nameplates - Liz was considered Anno's follower and was not counted.
Three of them wore black iron-level nameplates, while the remaining one wore a silver nameplate.
The latter is An Nuo who came out of the royal city!
This was the second day after he left the royal city, and he followed the caravan and took on the mission.
The difficulty of the escort mission is only Iron level.
Theoretically, only adventurers of level 6-10 can complete this task.
But the lowest level of Annuo's teammates is 13.
The highest level is already level 15.
An Nuo took the task on the way, and there was no doubt that these people were here to improve their ratings.
If you want to take on high-level, high-reward missions, even if you are a fourth- or fifth-level adventurer, you have to raise your rating step by step.
After all, the Adventurer's Guild has only been open for a short time.
Even with Test's full support and provision of a large number of low-level tasks.
There are many people offering higher-level quests, but it is impossible for a large number of high-rated adventurers to appear in a short period of time.
In recent days, people who have issued commissions have made a lot of money.
Not only did the money spent be less than when I commissioned mercenaries before.
The adventurer who accepted the commission was stronger than the client required.
After learning the actual levels of the four adventurers, the leader of the caravan was extremely polite to them.
He was just a small businessman in the royal city, and his business was just to buy some goods at low prices in the countryside and transport them to the royal city to sell them, making a profit from the difference.
In the past, he simply couldn't hire such a high-level adventurer!
But this time, there was actually a silver-level adventurer.
An adventurer of this level must be at least level 16!
"Master, we're out of water!"
Liz raised her head and drank the last drop of water in the water bag, then complained to An Nuo beside her with a sad face: "It's so hot~!"
At this time, An Nuo had already taken off his equipment and was only wearing a short-sleeved cloth shirt.
"It's already hot summer!"
Walking outside in this kind of weather makes me feel a little hot inside.
A Black Iron-level adventurer next to him suddenly pointed at the forest ahead and said to the caravan leader, "After we pass that forest, we will reach our destination, Hull City, in half a day.
Let's go there and take a break before we continue on our way. It's noon now, so it's a good time to have something to eat!"
"No, we have to go around that woods!"
The caravan leader wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained, "There's a terrifying monster hiding in that forest. If we stop there to rest, we might run into it!"
"World of Warcraft, what level?" an adventurer asked eagerly.
"I heard it's a second-level monster, and was commissioned by the Viscount of Hull City to be hunted by a mercenary group. However, it's hard to find since it's hiding in the forest, and the mercenary group hasn't completed the commission yet!"
"Level 2?" Warrior Adventurer 15 said, "I think with our strength, we can handle the monsters even if we encounter them!"
As he spoke, he also looked at An Nuo.
Even if something unexpected happens, there is still this silver-level adventurer!
"Well, shall we go over there and take a rest?" The caravan leader looked at An Nuo.
In the past, the caravan leader would definitely take a detour.
But today, the adventurers around him are quite strong.
An Nuo nodded to everyone to show his agreement.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately rushed towards the forest and rested for an hour.
Sitting under the cool tree, the heat in everyone's hearts disappeared instantly.
The breeze blowing by even makes people feel sleepy.
When the caravan leader saw that Anno and Liz had run out of water, he specially asked his servants to bring them a pot of water.
While everyone was resting, Annuo asked Liz to stay in the caravan while he went deep into the forest.
The reason for choosing to enter here was that Annuo felt that the fourth heritage church was here.
“I thought it would be further north, but I found it just two days after leaving the royal city.
Although I haven't collected enough souls yet, I'll take a look first!"
The deeper he went into the forest, the stronger the inexplicable feeling in Anno's mind became.
After quickly traveling through the woods for more than ten minutes, a ruin appeared in Annuo's field of vision.
The three churches we encountered before were at least recognizable as churches.
But if it weren't for the fact that his mind indicated that this was the ruins before him, Annuo would never have believed that this was the Heritage Church.
There is no statue of the summoning god.
There are no towering stone pillars.
There isn't even a wall.
Apart from the flagstone ground and the ruins, there were only a few dozen goblins that had made their nests here.
Although most of the goblins were taking a nap, there were still a few standing guard.
“Wooo ...
One of them saw Anno and immediately started calling his companions and rushed towards Anno with a dagger.
The levels of these goblins are not high, some as low as level 2 or 3, and the highest is only level 8!
They were all skinny and looked malnourished.
For Anno today, these goblins are nothing.
He drew out his long sword and pierced the heart of the goblin who rushed forward first.
"These guys can be found everywhere!"
Anno drew out his sword and didn't even bother to collect the summoning materials from them.
After releasing the ghosts to deal with these goblins, Annuo walked into the ruins.
“Shhh!”
Suddenly, An Nuo heard a sigh from the side.
He immediately looked in the direction of the sound and found a giant wolf about two meters tall walking out of the ruins.
This wolf's hair is a rare silver-white color, with a tuft of red hair on its forehead.
"Silver Moon Blood Wolf?"
An Nuo looked at the information panel of the Silver Moon Blood Wolf and found that its level was as high as 20!
What surprised Anno the most was that this wolf had talent!
Talent [Transformation]!
The specific function is unknown, but judging from the name, it should be a skill that can change form.
“Roar~!”
The Silver Moon Blood Wolf stared at An Nuo in front of it with its silver-gray eyes and roared.
"If this is the second-level monster in the forest, then I can only say that our intelligence work needs to be strengthened!"
An Nuo did not dare to be careless and immediately summoned all the creatures!
Including the goblin's ghost that had been dealt with, a total of forty level 20 summons surrounded the Silver Moon Blood Wolf!
The roaring Silver Moon Blood Wolf saw dozens of floating creatures appear around him in an instant, and their magic power was no less powerful than his own, so his voice stopped abruptly.
The Silver Moon Blood Wolf suddenly glanced away and spoke in human language, asking and answering itself:
"I was taking a nap just now. My eyes are a little blurry when I woke up. I need to go wash my face. Where should I wash my face? Oh, yes, there is a stream in that direction. I'll go there now!"
Having said that, he took a step and ran away.
“It can actually talk!”
An Nuo raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the other party was so special at only level three.
As for its desire to leave, Youpo would definitely not agree!
Faced with the attack of forty ghosts of the same level, the Silver Moon Blood Wolf, which had few magic skills, was beaten and howled.
In less than two minutes, he was lying on the ground covered in blood, begging for mercy weakly: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'm really going to die if you continue hitting me!"
“Interesting!”
Seeing this, An Nuo ordered Youpo to stop attacking.
"Woo, woo, woo, sir, please spare my life. Please be merciful and let go of this poor little wolf who has no one to love him!"
