Chapter 428 is coming.
"No. 37 Wind Bell Flower Street, Silver Moon City, Mithril Starry Sky Alchemy Shop... This is it."
On the busy streets of Silvermoon City, a girl wearing a robe covered with shining silver-white stars and a crystal ball floating at her side raised her head and glanced at the sign with magical special effects that looked like the starry sky, confirming that she had arrived at the mission location.
She was Summer Night Firefly, who had come all the way from the Gloria Empire under Avis' secret instructions.
Recently, Avis's clone, who leads the Embers resistance, has been in talks with the top leaders of several other resistance organizations, preparing to jointly launch a major operation.
Considering that it would be convenient to have a player follower in the potentially more chaotic situation in the future, it was decided to call her over for temporary use.
Previously, when exploring the floating city, the advice from her companion spirit, Rona, did help.
So, after Avis took her away, he generously forgave her debt of two thousand gold coins. Now she only owed Avis fifteen thousand gold coins.
Although she is currently a student of the Secret Star Scholar, the latter is not prepared to help her settle the debt.
In the process of growth, one must go through enough hardships to truly grow into a strong person. Unless Avis really goes too far, he will not intervene.
"Welcome, what can I do for you?"
After pushing open the door of the shop with sound insulation and hazy magic circle, the crisp sound of wind chimes echoed, and behind the light black elderberry counter, a silver-haired indigenous girl came following the voice.
"Hello, I am here on a mission to find a Mr. N... named Vio and give him a letter."
After taking a quick look at the various mysterious alchemical items displayed around, Xia Ye Yinghuo walked to the counter, took out an envelope with a magic emblem on the surface and handed it to the girl.
"Oh, is there a letter from the teacher? Please wait a moment!"
When she heard the name Vio, Leah immediately understood and quickly knocked on a small bell under the counter.
After a moment, a wooden door at the back of the store opened and Avis walked out.
"Teacher, this lady said there is a letter for you."
Seeing Avis appear, Leah briefly reported what had just happened.
"A letter for me?"
Looking at the fireflies in the summer night who were eagerly waiting for the settlement, Avis casually opened the letter, glanced at it pretentiously, and then flames rose from his fingertips, engulfing the blank piece of letter paper.
"I understand. Then, you can stay here temporarily to help me run the store. The salary you earn will be used to repay your debt."
Looking at the fireflies in the summer night who were still in the dark, Avis nodded to her.
At the same time, a new task, [Job Recruitment I], is refreshed on the player girl’s panel.
Mission introduction: Vio, the owner of the alchemy shop, thinks you are a talent and wants to invite you to stay and work. Do you accept? Yes, No (this mission does not support rejection)
"Help to look after the store? Wait... I asked my teacher for leave this time so I could leave temporarily! If I stay away for too long, I'm worried that my teacher will be unhappy.
My teacher is the vice president of the Gloria Imperial Academy, and this is his emblem."
Suddenly hearing that he would be left here to look after the store, Xia Ye Yinghuo fell into deep thought and was somewhat hesitant.
Judging from the name of the task, this should be a serial task chain, but I don’t know what rewards this task will have.
After thinking about it, she tentatively refused and tried to see if she could trigger other options.
"Don't worry. The person who wrote this letter probably wouldn't make such a mistake. Since he asked me to help you find a job, he will definitely solve other problems at the same time."
Avis shook his head. Even after knowing the identity of the young teacher, his expression was still calm and he didn't care at all.
"Okay, this is Leah, my student. You can temporarily follow her to learn how to run a store. Your salary for the next few months is temporarily set at one thousand gold coins per month, which will be deducted from your debts."
"……How many?"
After hearing the amount of salary, Xia Ye Yinghuo, who had originally shown some reluctance, was stunned.
A monthly salary of 1,000 gold coins?! Can you make that much money just by running a shop?
Could this be some shady shop? For example, they sell alchemical items during the day and flower girls at night, and force her to do odd jobs here at night... or something like that?
Maybe she will be asked to fight together with Rona.
"One thousand gold coins a month, work for me, what's the problem?"
Glancing at her suspicious eyes, Avis spoke calmly, his words filled with a sense of not caring about money.
"No, I'm happy to help you, Mr. Vio."
However, considering Anvis's identity, Xia Ye Yinghuo put aside her worries.
A monthly income of 1,000 gold coins was almost impossible to obtain even though she had already broken through level 40. . ….….So , there was another player girl in Anvis's store.
Since Xia Ye Yinghuo's own strength had reached the fourth level, Avis happily handed over some materials with level requirements to her to deal with, while he slacked off on the side.
Next, things developed just as he had guessed, on the first day of the New Year's Month, the day of New Year's Day.
Taking advantage of the fact that Silvermoon City was celebrating the New Year and there were many people around, Landon, disguised as an old woman, quietly came to the store and took Leah away.
At the same time, in order to thank Lord Vio for helping them when they needed it most, under the painful gaze of Dark Crow, Lanton left a high-level green dragon crystal as a reward.
He found it when he accidentally fell into the ruins while being chased by the enemy.
Avis expressed his understanding of Landon's explanation that it would be dangerous for Leah to stay here due to his own reasons.
Before leaving, Avis once again gave Leah a talisman he made himself. After activation, it can instantly trigger short-distance teleportation and can be used three times a day.
However, he left a tiny backdoor in this pendant.
With the help of the matching teleportation array, he can forcibly pull the person wearing the necklace to his side.
After watching the two leave, Avis observed the changes in the Web of Fate, then closed the shop and left Silvermoon City with Summer Night Firefly.
At this time, the player girl had just worked for half a month.
Avis threw an isolation cloak to the girl who didn't know what she was about to face, and after signaling her to equip it, he directly teleported into the headquarters of the resistance organization "Embers".
Here, his clone had been waiting for a long time. When the real body arrived, the two merged into one again.
"After a while, listen more, and no matter what you see, don't speak."
After casually admonishing the girl, Avis entered a large underground meeting room, observing the summer night fireflies around him with curiosity.
There is a rock round table in the center of the conference room, and a huge crystal ball is placed in the center of the table.
After checking the time, Avis directly activated the crystal ball.
After a moment, on the high-back chairs around the rock round table, translucent magic projections suddenly lit up.
If anyone knows them, they will be surprised to find that these people are high-ranking officials and leaders of the famous resistance army.
“It’s an honor to see you all here today.”
Facing the gazes of many resistance leaders, Avis gently opened his arms and spoke with a smile.
“We came together because we had a common enemy.”
"If we don't rise up and take our rightful place, how long do we have before they turn their attention to us?"
"The nobles are the enemy. They are arrogant, they are power hungry, they are vulgar and brutal."
"For freedom, our resistance brothers."
"Now, the time has come—"
