The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Ilsa looked at the girl in front of her calmly.

"My name is Ai Lan, I'm a wizard and the client of the mission."

Ailan nodded politely to Ilsa.

"Task?"

Ilsa looked at Lisha.

"Lisha, what mission?"

Chapter 29: Strange Mission

"Ilsa, actually..."

Lisha narrated the whole story while eating.

When Lisha went downstairs to eat and was worrying about what to eat, she met Alan who was also worrying about what to eat, so the two of them started chatting.

As they chatted, Ai Lan inadvertently talked about her own troubles.

When Lisha heard this, she thought it was a simple task and accepted Ai Lan's commission with the intention of helping out.

Ailan was very grateful to Lisha, so she planned to treat Lisha to dinner.

Then, this is what Ilsa and Melillo saw.

"Lisha, I remember I told you not to take missions casually."

Ilsa walked up to Lisha and pinched her cheek.

"Ilsa! Well, I actually have a reason!~"

Lisha was most afraid that Ilsa would get angry, so she quickly opened her mouth and tried to make up a reason.

"Oh? Tell me."

Ilsa narrowed her eyes, looking like she was listening.

"Ai Lan's mission is actually for us to escort her to find a mineral called sunstone. It is said that this mineral can only be found in underground caves. And the nearest underground cave is the Dark Cave, right? You know my job, and we will go there sooner or later."

"Well... the reason is qualified."

Actually, Ilsa didn't want to pursue anything. She just wanted Lisha to learn her lesson and not to accept any requests from strangers.

Because the client this time is an elf, Ilsa doesn't think there is any trap. After all, elves are very proud and pure beings, especially the young elves who have just left the elven kingdom, who are extremely naive and honest.

Ilsa just secretly took a look at the elf Alan.

He is very young, without any signs of old age. He must be an elf who has just reached adulthood.

It was just that the other person's hair color slightly concerned her.

That beautiful long hair that looks like silver is a very rare color.

Ilsa vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a kind of snow elf with this hair color, but this kind of elf seemed to have become extinct long ago.

"I'm sorry, I was too abrupt, but I really couldn't help it."

Ai Lan's face was bitter and she touched her empty pockets.

“Did you spend all the money on treating Lisha to a meal?”

Ilsa noticed Ai Lan's little movement. She looked at Ai Lan with surprise, as if she was looking at some rare species.

Even though elves are all pure, isn't this Miss Ailan a little too pure?

Who would spend all their money just to treat someone they just met once to a meal?

"In fact, there is still some left, enough for my daily diet."

There were actually only twenty silver coins left in Ai Lan's purse. If she saved up, it might be enough for a day's meal, but she definitely had no money for a place to stay.

"Tell me about this commission in detail."

Ilsa sat down.

Because it was a bit crowded here, Merilu didn't sit down, but stood next to Lisha.

Then Lisha stuffed a chicken drumstick into his mouth.

"First of all, I want to explain that I am a mage, a light-attribute mage."

As soon as Ai Lan said this, Ilsa looked surprised.

Although mages can learn magic of any elemental attribute, in reality most mages will only learn spells that are biased towards their own attributes.

The so-called attribute bias refers to the mage's elemental affinity.

Mages with high affinity for the wind element will naturally learn wind-attribute spells quickly, and the power they unleash is much greater than that of mages with other attribute biases.

The same goes for other elements.

But there are also differences in intensity.

Elemental attributes like fire and thunder have strong destructive power, ice and earth have good restrictive and defensive effects, wind and wood generally have good auxiliary effects and are very popular among melee professionals.

But the only thing that is awkward is light and dark.

First of all, light and dark attribute mages are very rare. Secondly, there are very few powerful mages of these two elements, which leads to the fact that there is no powerful inheritance between the two. Moreover, mages of these two elemental attributes are very weak in the early stage, and they have to reach the steel level to have a certain combat effectiveness. This makes it that few adventure teams are willing to let light and dark attribute mages join the team. Although light attribute mages also have certain healing abilities, isn't it much stronger to find a priest of the church than a light mage?

Therefore, most mages of light and dark attributes will turn to learn spells of other elemental attributes. Even if they are not very suitable for them or even if the learning speed is very slow, at least they can ensure that they have a certain level of combat effectiveness so that they can join a decent adventure team and improve their strength.

If another adventure team heard Ai Lan's straightforward words, they would probably directly refuse the mission.

After all, no adventurer would want to bring a burden with him on his adventure.

The danger of the dark cave is not small. It is definitely a super risky behavior for the three of them to venture into it with a light mage who has little combat power.

"Can you promise not to hold us back?"

Ilsa asked directly.

This point must be made clear.

"I... Actually, the Sunstone I need should be on the second floor of the Dark Cave. If we are fast enough, we can leave there within a day."

Ailan changed the subject.

Obviously, she is a pure light mage with no combat power.

"You said it was right. Besides, the dark cave is very complicated, like a large maze. Generally speaking, it is rare to get out within a day after going in."

Ilsa was obviously not very satisfied with Ai Lan's answer.

There must be no ambiguity about this matter, you must ask clearly.

"I...."

Ai Lan didn't know what to say.

She is actually not very good at deceiving others, and has only told a few lies since she was a child.

"I still have some materials and treasures here. If you need them, I can give them to you."

"Can you tell me why you had to look for us?"

When Ilsa saw Alan’s expression that seemed like she was about to cry, her heart softened.

Her voice softened a little.

"I really have no choice. I actually posted a commission in the guild, but other adventurers either thought my offer was too low or thought the mission was too dangerous and refused."

Ai Lan explained in a low voice.

"I met Miss Lisha today. I could tell that she was a very good adventurer, so I tried to ask her for help."

"Have you ever thought of asking other elves for help?"

Ilsa felt something was wrong. She remembered that elves should be very united, especially those living outside the Elf Kingdom. Their unity was terrifying. They were the type that if you mess with one person, you will bring down the whole group.

"No."

Ai Lan's tone became even lower.

She seemed unhappy about the mention of other elves.

Could it be that...

Ilsa's eyes fell on Alan's silver hair.

She had taken all the guesswork out of it.

Chapter 30 You actually went to the buffet, right?

"Um, what kind of mineral is sunstone?"

Just when the atmosphere was becoming tense, Lisha’s opening words broke the solemn atmosphere.

"Sunstone is a very special mineral."

When it comes to this, Ai Lan seems like a different person, and his tone becomes positive.

"This ore can only be found underground near the White Pagoda. Moreover, the ore itself has been buried deep underground for many years, but it can emit a light as warm as the sun. Why is this so? Until now, no scholar has been able to give a definite answer."

Ailan talked incessantly, while Lisha listened attentively.

"I want to personally look for the Sunstone this time because I want to verify something. If I can verify it successfully, it means that mages with light element attributes can also gain a considerable degree of combat power in the early stages."

After Ai Lan finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she was a little too excited. Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and even her pointed ears turned pink.

"Ilsa, let's help Alan!~"

Lisha turned to look at Ilsa, her eyes twinkling.

“Lisha, you…”

Being begged by Lisha with such eyes, Ilsa couldn’t refuse at all.

And Ilsa also understood Lisha's thoughts.

Dreams should not be laughed at.

Maybe one day the dream will be shattered, but it should never be achieved by being trampled on and cruelly shattered.

"In fact, light mages are still very useful in dark caves."

Meililu also noticed Lisha's eyes. She racked her brains for a long time and blurted out a sentence.

"At least we can save a lot of torches. Ghosts and spirits are also afraid of light spells."

"Ah...well, Merilulu is right."

Ilsa agreed dryly that it would be better not to mention these advantages.

Torches, even high-quality ones, are very cheap and have a very strong burning effect. One torch can burn for a whole day and can be extinguished and lit at any time.

As for ghosts and spirits, they are indeed afraid of light spells, but the priests of the church can cause more damage to these undead spirits. Especially the priests of the Church of the God of Life and Healing, who are completely special attacks on undead spirits, and every hit on the undead can be said to be a critical hit.

"Ai Lan, where are you going to stay today?"

Lisha suddenly asked.

"I..."

Ai Lan was about to answer, but then she realized that the lease she had rented seemed to have expired.

He only had twenty silver coins left.

But selling some materials and other things should be able to raise some funds.

Just as Ailan was thinking this, Lisha put down the plate in her hand and said.

"Ai Lan, please come and live with us. We have already booked a quad room because we have no more single rooms. There happens to be one vacant spot."

"Isn't this bad?"

Ai Lan looked at Ilsa and Melillo carefully and found that neither of them seemed to care much about this matter.

"What's wrong with that? It's so much fun when we're all together."

Lisha approached Ai Lan with a smile, then grabbed Ai Lan's neck with her oil-free hand.

"I've never seen an elf before. Are all elves as beautiful as you?"
