……

【Goblin Group (50): Hero's Shield Adventurer Squad (Rolling Stone Town)】

[Number of times listed: 4]

Status: Team disbanded.

……

Overnight, Yulia's team climbed from sixth to fourth in the Goblin group in the Rolling Stones region.

Compared to their rise in rankings, the destruction of the Mad Leopard Squad and the disbandment of the Shield of Heroes are more worthy of in-depth investigation.

boom--

An impatient adventurer rushed into the guild, shouting urgently:

"Something happened!"

"Li Wei's Yulia Squad wiped out the entire Mad Panther Squad in Monster Hills!"

"And they dismantled the Shield of the Hero!"

The already quiet adventurers' guild became even more silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Samantha happily wiped the spruce wood wine glasses and said:

"My Li Wei is really amazing."

The news was leaked by the people of Rancisto.

The news that Mad Leopard was completely wiped out by Li Wei was slightly embellished.

This is a modified version of the message that the Shield of Heroes has voluntarily disbanded.

To build momentum for Li Wei and Yulia's team.

After several minutes of silence, the adventurer who wanted to be Li Wei's son said quietly:

"Actually... it's a good thing that Levi and Julia's team are getting stronger. Although 'Noble' Levi has killed his teammates, he has basic principles and doesn't kill people indiscriminately."

"I heard that the Thorn Strangler and the Bloodlust are like mad dogs, killing anyone they see in the Demon Hills. Even the goblin merchant Chew at the city gate has been hunted by the Thorn Strangler, who is shouting that he wants to put a bounty on the Thorn Strangler's head."

"Blood Butcher is strong, but he relies on his good relationship with the two vice presidents of the Rolling Stone Town Adventurers' Guild who are stationed in the Duchy of Mad Sands, so he never comes to Rolling Stone Town to accept or turn in quests."

"They always return directly to the Duchy of Sand after completing a mission, rarely stopping in Rolling Stone Town, treating our adventurers in Rolling Stone Town like inferior bastards orcs."

"Last time, an adventurer accidentally stepped into the boundary of their monster-hunting area, and the Blood Butcher slaughtered the entire team."

"Captain Groot mocked our Rolling Stone adventurers, calling them a bunch of despicable bastards, saying it wouldn't matter if we killed them all..."

"Li Wei's Julia Squad is, in any case, a local adventurer squad from Rolling Stone Town."

Unlike before, no one objected this time.

It is assumed that Li Wei's analysis of "wild son" is correct.

……

Francis's office is on the third floor.

When Li Wei found him, he was bent over and leaning on the windowsill.

Holding a silver teapot, he listened to the discussions about Yulia's squad downstairs while sipping the scalding tea, grinning from ear to ear, quite pleased with himself for his role in stirring things up.

"Cough cough!"

"President Francis."

Francis turned to the side; he already knew the purpose of Levi's meeting with him last night.

He readily pulled out two parchments from his storage ring.

"You said last night that you wanted to move Yulia's squad to a new location, and you chose the area behind the Priests' Association or the Mage's Association, right?"

Li Wei nodded.

Lori is dead, and he feels no relief.

He didn't return home all night, and under the watchful eyes of Langsis, Melanie, and the vice president of the Mage Association, he tried to analyze the arcane characters beneath Lori.

A single arcane character is useless.

The core is a combination of arcane characters created by the "Cult of the Immortals." Li Wei analyzed it all night but had no clue.

Before dawn.

Francis and the others decided to seal off Lori's suicide spot first.

Before parting, Li Wei told Francis about the move.

He analyzed it.

Yulia's team is temporarily unable to leave Rolling Stone Town.

He needs to continue his quests in Rolling Stone and deconstruct the obscure magical stone tablet.

Two months later, Yulia's team secured a place in the top ten of the Goblin group, allowing them to legally travel to the Golden Kingdom.

The Shiwu area is no longer safe due to the presence of "Bombermen" controlled by the Immortal Cult.

Other ordinary residential areas will inevitably encounter similar situations.

The safest area is the one next to the back wall of the Mage Association and the Priest Association, where a large number of magic-based professionals gather and any disturbance is easily noticed.

The only problem is the price. Yulia's squad is ranked 51st in the goblin group and only has 10 gold coins per month for rent, which is not enough at all.

Upon taking the contract from Langsis, one could see it was a double stone house right next to the back wall of the priests' association, with a monthly rent of 120 gold coins.

"I am the vice president of the Adventurers' Guild, and I enjoy a 50% discount on rent. I usually live in the Adventurers' Guild or the Warriors' Association, so I don't need to rent a place. If you need one, you can rent a place in my name."

Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he said, "Thank you for your generosity, President Francis!"

Francis smiled and handed over the specific mission that Logan, the head of Eternal Heart, wanted to hire Julia's team for.

Logan witnessed Levi's study of arcane characters last night and knew that there was no one else in Rolling Stone Town who could match Levi's mastery of arcane characters.

Fearing that a Bomber controlled by the "Cult of the Immortals" might infiltrate the Heart of Eternity auction, they wanted to hire Li Wei to be in charge of the auction's security.

The grand auction of Eternal Heart was supposed to end yesterday, but it was marred by the mass suicide of wealthy people from three kingdoms and the series of explosions last night.

The two-day auction had to be postponed, with only one day remaining.

Logan didn't want any more accidents to happen, so he spent a lot of money to ask Levi for help.

He had a plan in mind: there must be other magic-based professionals in the Three Kingdoms who were proficient in arcane characters.

Bring them from the Three Kingdoms to Rolling Stone Town, and pay them a reward equal to that of Li Wei, more than several times the amount.

Moreover, Princess Sylvie, the princess of the Golden Kingdom, is in Livy's adventurer party.

This is a great opportunity for Logan to make a name for himself in front of Princess Sylvie.

Logan said, "I'll give you two options regarding the compensation."

"First, I'll give you a staff and a storage ring."

"Second, I'll give you two storage rings."

"The storage ring is a women's style; his real purpose is to give it to Princess Sylvie."

Francis bluntly stated Logan's intentions. Standing beside Julia, Sylvie frowned. Not wanting to become a pawn in Julia's team's game, she refused:

"Li Wei, I don't want a storage ring."

Knowing Logan's purpose, Li Wei pondered for a moment and said:

"A staff plus two storage rings, otherwise forget it."

"Okay, I'll refuse him. I think he'll compromise."

After discussing the matter, Li Wei brought up the topic of Bones and Duro specializing in shield warriors, and Langes waved his hand dismissively, saying:

“I won’t charge them for teaching them to specialize in shield warriors; consider it a reward for the hardest-working team. Give me an additional 200 gold coins, and I’ll equip them with suitable Black Dragon-level shields.”

Li Wei paid the money readily.

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, he sent Julia to the Rangers' Association.

The 3rd-tier Grand Ranger Vice President highly valued Yulia's ranger talent. With Li Wei's help, he decided to help Yulia develop a 1st-tier growth plan for her at a price of "120 gold coins".

An ordinary woman will do everything in her power to help Yulia become a qualified and powerful ranger.

Li Wei, in the name of Langsis, rented the Twin Stone House, originally priced at 120 gold coins, now priced at 60 gold coins.

I used the 10 gold coins from the 51st place in the Goblin group to waive the rental fee, and only paid 50 gold coins.

Two three-story stone houses, one large and one small, stand on the east and west sides, with a courtyard of nearly 100 square meters in the middle.

The stone house on the east side is next to the back wall of the pastor's association.

Li Wei assigned Bones and Duron to the west stone house, while he lived in the east stone house with Julia and Sylvie.

Sylvie was originally staying at Frey's house waiting for Fiennes to come and pick her up.

I learned about it yesterday.

Fiena hadn't finished dealing with the undead forbidden area of ​​the Golden Kingdom when she learned that Sylvie had successfully become a member of Julia's adventure team. Respecting Sylvie's wishes, she allowed her to grow up in Rolling Stone Town.

"Orcs are born without fathers, and from birth they know to strive to survive—you will never grow up under my protection. Your teacher looks forward to the day we reunite in the Golden Kingdom. I think that will be the most wonderful day of my life."

Fiena encouraged Sylvie in this way.

To better integrate into Yulia's team, Sylvie decides to move in with them.

in the afternoon.

Logan agreed to give Levi the staff and two storage rings as payment, signed a contract with Levi, and agreed to meet at the auction the next morning.

Yulia's team has 167 gold, 67 silver, and 82 bronze left. Li Wei is quite happy to spend money on Bones, Duron, and Yulia.

The stronger they are, the safer it is for Li Wei to go out on adventurous missions.

Sylvie didn't have anywhere to spend money for the time being; she had a complete priest promotion process arranged for her by Fiena.

Li Wei plans to continue refining his magical heritage.

[Element Lv1: 39.03%] ↑1.5%

[Mastery of all elements; officially become a Level 1 "Elite" mage; you have mastered fire elemental spells and found 1% similarity traits that harmonize with necromancy, fire, spirit, lightning, ice, wind, earth, water, alchemy, nature, and light (new) elements.]

You can't buy the spellbooks for lightning, ice, and wind in Rolling Stones, and neither can Logan.

He dared to sell spiritual inheritances in Rolling Stone Town because Eternal Heart had granted him special permission for a large-scale auction.

Lightning, ice, and wind magic are extremely destructive, and the Three Kingdoms will never allow the evil magic users of Rolling Stone Town to master related spells.

late at night.

New address, second floor of the house.

In Li Wei's room.

He stood by the window, eleven elements glowing on his left wrist.

The fire element is Bright, and the necromancy element is Bright because Li Wei recently mastered the spell 'Bone Spear', reaching the Half-Bright level, just one step away from entering the Bright level.

With his mental magic activated, the mental magic inheritance that Langsis gave him was different from the other magic systems, and Li Wei had not yet grasped the key points.

The spirit was too mysterious, and Li Wei dared not explore it as fearlessly as he did with the other elements.

He felt that mastering the mental system would make deconstructing the obscure magical stone tablet much easier.

Unfortunately, Li Wei didn't dare to try it last time because of the secret world summoning the shadows.

After resting in Rolling Stone Town, he will try to master the spiritual inheritance when he goes out to deconstruct the dark magic stone tablet.

Of the remaining elemental types that can be lit up, only Earth, Water, and Nature are available for selection in Rolling Stone Town.

Li Wei already had a goal in mind.

After I finish my auction commission in Logan, I will go to the Mage Association to buy a Tier 1 Earth Spell Inheritance.

The team includes Sylvie, whose supportive Water and Nature types have overlapping roles.

Earth magic is a powerful control spell—the earth spikes used by Captain Beavers when he destroyed the Warrior's Shield defensive formation at the Biso camp were a powerful control spell that disrupted the rhythm of the battle.
