Each mage has a limited amount of mental energy. In order to achieve the highest combat efficiency, they usually only use the most powerful spells and do not use every spell at once.

Therefore, in the subsequent battles, the mages kept using these spells repeatedly, and Lot was unable to learn any new spells.

However, Lotte also gained a lot, including the defensive "Water Shield", the supportive "Gigantification" and "Enhancement", as well as the offensive "Wind Blade", "Flame Arrow" and "Arcane Missile".

The requirement to become a novice mage is to master three types of magic, but Lott mastered six types of magic in just one night.

Lotte could also sense that the magic analysis was not happening simultaneously, but rather that each magic was being analyzed one at a time in a queue.

"Lotte, I have a feeling the other side is about to retreat."

Chloris, who had been taking notes, waved her hand. "Look, those two mages have retreated to the back to meditate; they're about to give up. But the lava golem doesn't seem to have suffered any fatal injuries yet."

"Have all the combat intelligence been recorded?"

"Ah."

"Then let's get back before they return to Whitestone Town and deliver the information to the Adventurers' Guild."

After the Adventurers' Guild verifies the quest, Lotte, who has completed the task, will also receive 3 gold coins and a bottle of Life Crystal Potion.

Life Crystals have also appeared in Isolde's psychic world, and they can enhance one's vitality. In Lot's eyes, this is an experience potion.

With the crystal potion, Lot can level up to Lv.10 and directly become a novice mage.

Lotte and Chloris quietly left the hillside, bypassed the battleground, and headed towards Whitestone Town.

"Chloris, do you think we should thank them?"

Chapter 57 Mission Completed

On their way back, Lotte and Chloris encountered many adventurers.

They all heard the sounds of battle in the distance, saw the towering flames, and wanted to go and get a share of the spoils.

After all, reconnaissance missions are on a first-come, first-served basis, and ultimately only one team can receive the reward.

Fortunately, Mia could sense the crowds nearby, allowing Lotte and Chloris to avoid them; otherwise, Lotte, walking against the flow of people, would have been targeted.

Chloris watched as groups of people continued walking towards the mountains in the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "Don't the Adventurers' Guild usually rate missions based on difficulty, and even reject adventurers' mission requests to avoid excessive casualties? Why didn't they do that this time?"

"Reconnaissance missions can be very difficult, or they can be very easy. Besides, this intelligence is something the president of the Mage Association wants."

Chloris sighed, "It's just that too many people have died. For the sake of the nobles' interests, they can issue missions regardless of the dangers."

"You will go and assassinate the king and overthrow the evil rule of the nobles."

"Humph."

Under the cover of night, the two made their way back to White Stone Town.

Lotte breathed a sigh of relief after entering the Adventurers' Guild Hall.

The warm yellow light dispelled the darkness from his clothes, and the flames from the fireplace chased away the coldness clinging to his hands.

Lotte squatted by the fireplace to warm herself, while Chloris went to hand over the quest to Belis.

Bellis took the notebook from Chloris, examined it carefully, and exclaimed, "Such detailed battle information! You actually fought with the Lava Golem?"

"I watched secretly. The other side played for a full ten minutes."

Bellis carefully put away the intelligence report. "You're the first to hand over intelligence. The Adventurers' Guild will be verifying this information, is that alright?"

"no problem."

Intelligence gathering is merely a preliminary task. Once the intelligence is obtained, the Adventurers' Guild will dispatch a squad affiliated with the guild to investigate.

Sending free-roaming adventurers to scout ahead, though troublesome, can reduce casualties in guild teams and preserve the guild's own strength.

"If all goes well, you will receive 3 gold coins and a bottle of Life Crystal Potion," Bellis continued. "However, it will be a week from now, so please wait here for another week."

"Do we have to wait another week? What about Uncle Baldr's situation..."

This put Chloris in a difficult position, as she had already far exceeded the return-home date that Bald had originally set for her.

"What's wrong?" Belis rested her cheek on her hand, a knowing smile on her face. "I have an idea. You go back with Mr. Hagen first. Let Mr. Lott stay here."

"No way. Lotte and I are teammates, how could we be separated?"

"I think you're just reluctant to part with it, aren't you?"

"I just can't bear to part with him. Mr. Lott is a popular adventurer now. If I'm not careful, he might be snatched away by some girl."

Although it was a joke, Chloris's cheeks still flushed slightly after she said it.

Bellis saw through it but didn't expose it, and she didn't continue to tease Chloris.

Chloris walked over to Lotte and squatted down beside him, reaching out her hand to warm herself by the fire with him.

Lotte's gaze slowly shifted to Chloris's hands. He had never thought hands were anything special before, but Chloris's hands were long and slender, with just the right curve and distinct lines.

These are hands that are very suitable for wearing rings.

"Lotte, we'll be staying in Whitestone Town for a week. Shall we take this time to do some quests?"

"I'd like to stay in Whitestone Town for a while, is that alright?"

Lott has just mastered six spells, and he needs time to analyze them one by one. It's not too late to accept tasks after he has finished analyzing them.

Moreover, Lotte had another idea.

He wanted to see if any of the nuns had children who were about to come of age, and if he could take one back to Maple's End.

The battle that Paul and the others had just witnessed made Lot realize the importance of a team. Even when facing a terrifying monster like the Lava Golem, a well-trained and disciplined squad could still hold its own and even escape unscathed.

If we want to go further in the future, we definitely need to start building a team.

“I have no objection,” Chloris replied. “It’s time we took a break. Besides, Bellis just told me that things have changed in Maple Town recently.”

"what happened?"

"It's still because of that Titan. It seems that the monsters from the original elven territory have begun to migrate to the Maple Forest on a large scale. The number of monsters is increasing, and they are getting stronger. Among them are quite a few monsters with special talents."

“Then Feng'en Town is going to get lively.”

"Hmm. I heard that many professional adventurers from Attenborough go to Fengen Town. The quest fees have also increased several times over."

Adventurers are mobile; they go wherever the most valuable commissions are.

The changes in Maple Town are actually quite beneficial to Lotte, as he urgently needs high-level monsters to level up.

After completing the mission, Lotte and Chloris returned to the inn.

Paul and his group leisurely returned to Whitestone Town.

This battle took a heavy toll on them. Not only did they consume a lot of potions, but many of their protective gear and weapons were also damaged and needed to be replaced.

Fortunately, they recorded detailed battle information and were rewarded with 3 gold coins.

Each person can also get more than 20 silver coins, which is a small profit.

"Hurry up," Paul urged. "It would be terrible if someone else beat us to it."

Bohr can use this information to improve his relationship with the president of the Mage Association, and maybe even get transferred to a big city.

"Hmph." Lia snorted coldly, "Actually, I'm worried that Lott will turn around and use your tracking magic."

“That’s a tracking spell passed down in my family. How could a mere apprentice mage possibly discover it?”

Pol walked into the Adventurers' Guild Hall and handed the information to Beris.

Lia sat in a chair, combing her tangled hair with her hands, her face full of exhaustion.

She was exhausted.

After carefully reviewing the information, Bellis returned the combat intelligence to Paul.

"What's wrong, Miss Bellis? Why did you give it back to us?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Paul, someone else has already submitted your intelligence report."

"Ok?"

The wooden floorboards slammed underfoot as Leah strode to the counter and slammed her hands on the wooden table. "What did you say?!"

"I'm sorry. If the two pieces of information are exactly the same, we will only choose the first one."

"Who submitted it?!"

"This is confidential; I am not authorized to provide it."

Lia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her emotions about to burst forth.

"Pol!" Leah turned and glared at Pol. "I lost a whole six silver coins on this mission, and fought tooth and nail under the lava golem for more than ten minutes. I'm practically dead! And now I'm not getting a single penny!"

Paul's illusions were shattered, and he wanted to leave this awful place.

Now we have gained nothing.

The intermediate and advanced mages outside the door were waiting for news, but Pol had no way of explaining the result to them.

Paul frowned, his mind a jumble of thoughts: "Why are you yelling?"

"It must be that Lott discovered your lousy tracking magic and turned it on us! Don't you understand yet?"

"Don't blame me!" Paul's face flushed red, all the exhaustion and frustration surging within him. "Maybe it was you who slept with Lott and that's how the news leaked out..."
