Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

Although Dago was not afraid, he still had to consider leaving himself a way out.

If he were to encounter an opponent he couldn't handle, he could at least escape by using the terrain. The habitat of the Earth-Splitting Rock-Drilling Dragon must have a complex network of underground tunnels underneath.

If all else fails, he can burrow underground and enter a tunnel warfare mode, maximizing his chances of escape.

"Oh well."

Once Dago had chosen his mission, the short-haired girl quickly registered him and then went on and on about all the key points of the mission, including the habits and weaknesses of the Earth-Splitting Rock-Drilling Dragon.

This immediately made Dagger feel much more favorably toward him; responsible people are always welcome wherever they go.

"With your skills, this mission shouldn't be a problem as long as you're careful. Good luck!"

Before leaving, the short-haired girl gave Dago words of encouragement, and her cute way of cheering him on made him smile.

"Thanks."

Dago said goodbye to the girl, turned around, and was met with the cold and gloomy face of the bald wizard.

The smile on his lips slowly faded, and he calmly strode out of the mission hall of the tower.

We left the Silver Tower area and then headed to Claytam City.

Dago flew over the forest, the wind whistling past the sides of his robes.

After leaving Cletam City, the bald wizard who had been following them disappeared, but the feeling of being watched and spied on persisted, albeit subtly.

Dago showed no emotion on his face, but he was already on high alert, ready to respond to any attack at any time.

"They didn't make a move on the way; are they planning to do so when I encounter the Earth-Splitting Rock-Drilling Dragon?"

Upon arriving at the habitat of the Earth-Splitting Rock-Drilling Dragon in the Great Rift Valley, the expected situation did not occur.

The feeling of being spied on remained, and no one knew what methods the other party was using. Even with the "Dimensional Detection Technique," Dago could not pinpoint the bald wizard's exact location.

Dago's eyes flashed, and he immediately began to gather air bullets to force out the Earth-Splitting Rock-Drilling Dragon.

The task requires obtaining the gland sac of the earthworm, which is located inside the earthworm's mouth. It needs to be removed by killing the earthworm and dissecting its body.

The task requires ten glandular sacs. Although it is somewhat troublesome and time-consuming, the contribution points rewarded by the task are quite substantial.

During his battle with the Earth-Splitting Rock-Drilling Dragon, Dago spent at least half his attention observing the changes around him, stopping to rest after each dragon he killed.

Once the "Grey Sun Meditation Method" has fully restored your mental energy, you can continue hunting the next one.

To deal with this bulky and unintelligent monster, Dargo only needs to cast a simple spell.

Dago spent two whole days collecting ten Earthshaker Dragon Glands, but the attack and encirclement he "expected" never came, even after he returned to the Silver Tower with all the quest items.

The bald wizard appeared like a ghost right after he entered the tower. Dago glanced at him, then quickly looked away.

"It's best if they don't dare to take action, so I can focus on accumulating more contribution points."

Dago had checked in advance and knew that after completing the Earth-Splitting Rock-Drilling Dragon quest, he only needed to complete one more quest to gather enough ingredients for his next mental power enhancement potion.

Take it back and give it to Bernal; in just a few days, his strength and progress will surge forward again.

Although an annoying guy followed him throughout the mission, staring at him with a cold gaze that made him feel very uncomfortable, the thought of getting contribution points soon made him feel much better.

But what Dago didn't expect was that an accident would happen when he delivered the task.

"Someone already completed this task ahead of schedule yesterday."

The short-haired girl looked at Dago apologetically and whispered, "Why don't you keep the stuff for now? There might be similar missions coming up again in a while."

"Once the glandular sac of the Earth-Splitting Rock-Drilling Dragon is removed, its energy dissipates within eight days, rendering it completely useless!"

Dago's face was grim. Seeing his expression, the short-haired girl timidly whispered a comforting word: "Perhaps the new mission will be announced in less than seven days!"

"Is that even possible!?"

Dago took a deep breath, suppressing his bad mood, and after regaining his composure, he continued to speak to the short-haired girl: "I'll choose a new task."

"it is good."

The short-haired girl hurriedly handed the task booklet to Dagger.

Dago quickly finished choosing his task, then turned around and stared coldly at the bald wizard in the distance, his face expressionless—all because of this guy!

If it weren't for this guy being there, distracting him from most of his attention and making him worry about being ambushed, thus slowing down the completion of the mission in order to play it safe.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he could have completed the task in just one day.

Dargo's good mood was completely ruined by the "abnormal failure" of the Ring of Law mission, but an accident is an accident after all, and he could not prevent it from happening, so he could only passively accept it.

His second task was to obtain ten Firefly Beast Hearts.

The difficulty of the quest is similar to that of the Earth-Splitting Drilling Earth Dragon quest. Before accepting the quest, Dago was cautious. He specifically inquired and found that he was the only person who had accepted this quest so far.

After accepting the mission, Dago left the city immediately, completely ignoring the bald man who was following him closely.

This time, he didn't hold back too much. While remaining somewhat cautious, he killed ten Firefly Beasts as quickly as possible, obtained their hearts, and returned the way he came.

It took less than half a day in total.

As soon as he entered the mission hall, he saw the short-haired girl standing at the window, peering out. As soon as she saw him, she waved to him.

"Come quick, come quick!"

Dago had a vague sense of unease. He walked over expressionlessly and, sure enough, heard the short-haired girl say something that made his blood pressure soar.

"I'm still looking everywhere for you!"

The short-haired girl patted her bulging chest and quickly said to Dago, "Just a few hours ago, the quest giver canceled the 'Firefly Heart' quest."

"You probably haven't done this task yet, right? That's good, otherwise you would have wasted your time."

Dago stood quietly, looking at the short-haired girl in front of him with a look of relief on her face.

His storage ring still contains the fiery heart of the Firefly Beast.

A few seconds later, Dago smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's good that you notified me in time."

He calmly continued speaking to the short-haired girl, "Let me choose a new task."

The latter hummed in agreement, handed him the task booklet, and muttered, "Actually, these situations are all normal. You're just a little unlucky."

"I once met someone who had his missions stolen three times in a row just before they were due, which made him so angry that he wanted to kill someone."

"Why isn't there any way to close the loophole in the rules of the Thorn Ring quest?"

Dago carefully selected tasks from the booklet while casually talking to the girl.

"We reported it a long time ago, but the higher-ups didn't really take it seriously. Actually, once you take on more missions, you'll get used to it and be able to avoid many pitfalls in advance."

"alright."

Dago looked away from the manual, pointed to a task in it, and said, "This one will do."

【Mission 9527: Hunt down the honey sacs of the Windstorm Bee Guardian Bee】.

This is a long-term bounty task. The poster just extended the task period two days ago. There is no limit to the number of honey sacs required, but at least thirty must be submitted each time.

Moreover, these were materials from magical beasts that Bernal had asked Dago to hunt. Dago still had quite a few left in his storage ring. It was a bit of a hassle, but he could collect enough by killing a few more.

The key is that the contribution points reward for this mission is very high, and even if something goes wrong with the mission, the honey sacs obtained by Dago Hunter can be kept for personal use.

The short-haired girl quickly registered Dago, and after confirming that everything was correct, Dago turned and left.
