"But I've already agreed." Meiluo stopped talking halfway.

The two boys followed Meiluo's gaze and saw a handsome boy holding a short bow, watching them quietly. It was Richard.

"Senior, please listen to this senior regarding my treatment. I have no objection to any allocation!" As soon as these words were spoken, the two boys' impression of Richard improved significantly.

For Richard, the main purpose of participating in this mission is to obtain energy points, not points or magic stones.

"This..." Meiluo felt even more sorry for Richard when she saw this. He was the one who invited the person, but the treatment promised to Richard was not agreed upon.

"Hey, you all arrived so early! It seems that I am the last one. Is this handsome boy the helper you called, Meiluo?" The silver-haired girl whom Richard had just stopped to listen was walking towards him with a smile. The huge bow on her back, as tall as her, was very eye-catching.

"Kalina, you're finally here!" This made Meiluo, who seemed to be alone, find a helper. She pulled the silver-haired girl and whispered to her, and the silver-haired girl kept nodding.

After a while, Kalina took the initiative to step forward and said, "Hans, Nikoro, how about this? If the handsome boy performs well during the mission, we will give him the treatment of a regular team member as Meiluo said. If his performance is average or not so good, then we will halve his treatment. How about that?"

Hans and Nikoro looked at each other. They both had no objection to Kalina's suggestion and immediately expressed their agreement.

"What about you, handsome boy?" Kalina looked at Richard and asked.

"I have no objection either." Richard said.

Now that they had reached a consensus, Hans stood up first, and the group of five prepared to set off. Meiluo walked to Richard and briefly told him about everyone's specialties.

Hans, a quasi-knight level warrior, is good at using sword and shield, and has mastered the basic zero-level witchcraft [Weakness]. He is the team leader and meat shield.

Nikoro has mastered the zero-level sorcery [Summon Skeletons] and [Shadow Shock], both of which are at a superficial level.

The superficial level means that one can cast witchcraft smoothly, but has not yet mastered the spell chanting skills. It takes several seconds to cast the spell, and the relevant knowledge about witchcraft guidance is not mastered, so it can only hit slower enemies.

Meiluo herself has mastered the zero-level witchcraft [Slowness] and [Secondary Shadow Arrow]. She has reached a proficient level in Slowness, while she is only at a superficial level in Secondary Shadow Arrow.

The silver-haired girl Kalina, who possessed a thin elven bloodline, was skilled in using a longbow, and in witchcraft, she had mastered the [Slowness] and [Fear], both at a proficient level.

When Richard heard this, he began to understand why Hans and Nikoro objected to his treatment.

Just look at Hans' strength. He is only 16 years old, but he is stronger than Richard's 17-year-old brother. It can be imagined that before coming to Ignis School, he must have been one of the local geniuses.

It was normal for a genius boy to be a little bit arrogant and not be recognized by a newcomer like himself.

There was also Kalina's elven bloodline, and the word bloodline was a blind spot in his knowledge. He wanted to ask Meiluo about it, but obviously, now was not the right occasion.

Richard decided that after completing the task, he would go to the school library to brush up on his common sense.

Before the group entered the swamp, Hans stopped and said, "Let me first introduce our mission this time - [Cleaning up the Crystal Web Spiders].

Hans took out a map and pointed at a few red dots on it. "We need to avoid these places. The monsters marked with red dots are basically beyond the ability of our team to deal with. I spent five magic stones to buy this from a familiar second-level wizard apprentice. It is the latest map and should be reliable.

If everything goes well, we can kill a few more crystal web spiders.

Because there is usually some crystal spider silk in the body of a crystal spider that has not yet been sprayed out, and one ball is worth three magic stones. However, the properties of the spider silk after spraying out will change, and the price will be much lower, about only worth one magic stone. "

Richard listened carefully on the side. After all, this was his first time going out on a mission and he didn't understand many of the situations.

However, at first glance, although hunting monsters is very risky, the rewards are indeed considerable.

"By the way, let me add that the mission certificate is the poison sac of the crystal web spider. Now, does anyone have any questions? If not, let's set off." Hans said.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that it was no problem.

"Then let's go. I'll be in front, with Miro and Nicolo in the middle, and Kalina and Richard behind." After Hans said that, he took the lead and drew out a sharp half-sword to clear the way ahead.

As they slowly went deeper into the swamp, the foul smell of rotten mud hit everyone's noses.

Along with this came all kinds of strange calls from wild beasts. The vines and large broad-leaved plants that could be seen everywhere could easily serve as cover for top predators. For a while, the team moved very slowly.

Although Hans held a steel shield in his left hand, he was also cautious and prepared for sudden attacks at any time.

The people who were originally chatting along the way now stopped talking.

"Swish!" A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the mud and rushed straight to Hans' side, opening its bloody mouth, and was about to bite Hans in the waist.

"Swoosh! Whoosh!" Just as Hans dodged sideways, two feather arrows, one black and one white, one short and one long, hit the black shadow almost at the same time.

The shadow stopped moving immediately. Hans looked closely and saw a five-meter-long sharp-toothed crocodile being hit by two feather arrows almost at the same time! The white feather arrow pierced through the forehead and the black feather arrow hit the neck, killing the top swamp predator instantly.

Although the sharp-toothed crocodile is just a beast, it is also the best among beasts. It takes a lot of effort for an ordinary first-level wizard apprentice to deal with it! Hans immediately gave a thumbs up to Kalina and Richard at the back of the team.

Especially for Richard, Hans suddenly looked at him with a new respect.

Because from the arrow just now, it is clear that Meiluo did not exaggerate Richard's archery skills at all, and it should even be said that she was a little conservative.

The silver-haired girl, Kalina, stared at Richard beside her with her eyes wide open, and asked in surprise: "Richard, who taught you how to use the bow and arrow?"
