Richard thought hard for a long time but still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. He immediately shook his head and decided to stop thinking about it since he couldn't figure it out.

But when Richard thought about going to that place full of spiders and monsters, he suddenly had a headache. Although his strength has greatly increased, he still has to make preparations for safety!

After a while, Richard arrived at Sanders' hut with familiarity. The brown-haired girl was still in charge of the shop. She was sitting inside the counter, flipping through books carefully.

As soon as she saw someone coming in, the brown-haired girl stood up quickly and said, "Hello, welcome to Sanders Hut. Hey, it's you, junior!"

"It seems that you still remember me, Senior Sister. I still have to go out on a mission this time. By the way, Senior Sister, last time I heard others say that there is a potion that can make people lighter. I wonder if you have it for sale?"

The brown-haired girl smiled slightly. "I think you are talking about the Wind Grace potion. There are some, but they are not cheap. One bottle costs fifteen magic stones. But it is really worth it. After taking it, the effect of the zero-level witchcraft Wind Grace will linger around your body, allowing you to reduce about half of the weight. It lasts for about a quarter of an hour. The key is that there are no side effects."

Richard frowned immediately. The thing was indeed good, but the price seemed a bit high.

The brown-haired girl glanced at Richard's expression and said, "Junior, if you can endure the aftereffects of the Swiftness Potion, the difference in effect between the two is not that big."

"Senior, give me a bottle of Wind Grace Potion!" Richard said firmly. After all, the fact that it has no side effects can be very important at certain critical moments.

"Hey, it seems that you must have gained a lot from your last outing!" The brown-haired girl praised with a smile, turned around, took out a bottle of reagent that was shining with white light from the cupboard and handed it to Richard.

After a round of shopping, Richard decided to buy three potions, one blindness potion, one stench potion, and one wind grace potion! "Three potions cost a total of thirty-two magic stones. Senior sister can save you one magic stone, a total of thirty-one magic stones! I hope you will continue to patronize our store~" The brown-haired girl saw Richard's generous spending this time, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her face was as beautiful as a flower.

The next morning, several young people were gathered near the counter of the school's mission hall. What was particularly striking was that three of the four were holding identical huge crossbows. They seemed to be waiting for someone, and the leader was Stephania.

Today, she changed out of her grey apprentice robe and put on a set of tight black leather armor to facilitate outdoor movement. The graceful lines outlined by her plump body attracted the eager gazes of the young men around her.

Although they were too embarrassed to stare at the scene, the occasional movement of their Adam's apples and the sound of swallowing saliva still gave away certain signals.

"Is Richard not here yet?" the freckled girl asked Stephanie.

"Did that Richard really kill Davos in one move?" a brown-haired male apprentice asked a little suspiciously. You know, his good friend fought with Davos for more than a hundred moves, but was finally defeated. Davos broke all four of his limbs and it took him more than a month to recover!

The key is that he is very clear about his friend's strength, a young swordsman from the Kingdom of Green! So it is hard for him to imagine that someone can kill Davos with one sword! "Of course it's true! So many of us have seen it! Right, Stephana?" The freckled girl turned to Stephana to confirm.

"It's true! It's not time yet. Since Richard has agreed, he will definitely come. Don't worry!" Stephanie was quite confident about this. According to her observation, Richard still attached great importance to his family and kinship. This was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Once used by the enemy, it would be a disadvantage! "Is the Richard you are talking about really that powerful? I guess the Davos you are talking about is too weak. What a quasi-knight peak, a swordsmanship genius, he is probably only a figure among you freshmen. For the seniors, almost any one of them is a quasi-knight peak!" A burly boy said disdainfully while greasing his half-sword.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm late." Richard's look was a bit strange. He was dressed in a light leather armor, which was normal, but the bulging package on his back was too eye-catching, giving people the feeling of going out for a picnic! Stephanie was also stunned and asked curiously, "Richard, what is this package behind you?"

"Um, it's nothing. By the way, should we set off?" Richard couldn't find a good reason for the moment, so he made up an excuse to cover up the pile of skeletons in the package.

"Tsk!" The tall boy looked at Richard, but he couldn't find that the skinny boy in front of him had anything to do with the word "expert". His thin figure meant that he must not be physically strong. He had just arrived not long ago, which meant that he probably had not learned any witchcraft or tricks!

Stephanie didn't know what to say for a moment. In order to hide her embarrassment, she immediately said, "Then let's go. I'll introduce you to each other on the way."

The tall one is Javier, who has knight-level strength, is a senior, is good at using sword and shield, and has mastered the skillful level of zero-level witchcraft [Slowness], and is mainly responsible for being a meat shield.

Kelvin, a quasi-knight, a freshman, is good at using half-swords and crossbows, and has not mastered witchcraft.

The freckled girl Lena is a prospective knight and a freshman. She is good at using a crossbow and a dagger, but has not yet mastered witchcraft.

After listening to Stephanie's introduction, Richard looked at the three people except Javier, each holding a huge crossbow, and was very surprised. He thought to himself, Stephanie has formed a shooting team! Three crossbowmen plus a shortbowman, this is the rhythm of shooting the crystal spider to death! Sure enough, just when he thought of this link, he heard Stephanie's voice.

"Richard, you are mainly responsible for cleaning up the black widow spiders. I know you have a special bow skill that can quickly eliminate a large number of beasts." Stephanie blinked, indicating that she knew Richard very well.

"Javier will be responsible for restraining the monster, and the three of us will be responsible for killing it with all our strength. This time I have specially prepared thirty mithril arrows!"

"Mithril arrowhead?"

"Yes! It has a strong killing power against dark monsters, but the price is a bit expensive, requiring two magic stones for one!" Stephania handed over a crossbow arrow with extremely fine workmanship. The arrowhead was engraved with complex patterns and flashed with a mysterious silver light.

"Here~ I've also prepared twenty mithril arrows for shortbows for you!" Stephanie handed Richard a full quiver filled with mithril arrows suitable for shortbows.

This is a huge investment! But Richard couldn't understand why Stephanie was willing to spend so many magic stones to do this task.

When the freckled girl Lena shot and killed a sharp-toothed crocodile that was about to attack them with a giant crossbow, Richard realized that the crossbows in the hands of the three people were by no means ordinary items. When Lena was installing the crossbow arrow, she needed to hold the crossbow body with both feet and pull it with all her strength to install a crossbow arrow.
