The next morning.
When Raine went downstairs early, he slled the aroma of baking bread. Laisa, wearing a white apron, was already busy, and the others were already awake.
This surprised Raine quite a bit since he got up early to visit the association first, and then go to Wind Letter Village with Elise.
"Good morning!"
Seeing Raine coming down, everyone greeted him.
At this mont, redith, a Drow Elf with two curved swords at her waist and a cold appearance, took a couple of steps forward and said to Raine: "Mr. Rein, I need to go see Lady Ilgerina. I should be back in a few days."
"Uh... okay." Raine was a bit taken aback, not quite understanding what the Drow Elf lady ant by her words.
If you need to see soone, go see them.
But co back?
Co back for what?
anwhile, Elise, Sulfur Vine, Reya, and the others pretended not to care or frequently glanced in Raine’s direction.
Obviously, they were very curious about what this beautiful female Drow Elf ant by "coming back."
"Well, I’m off then." redith smiled slightly, nodded to the other won, put on her hood, and quickly left.
"In such a hurry, not even staying for breakfast?" Laisa muttered, carrying a tray of freshly baked fragrant bread, watching the figure disappear.
Then, Laisa turned to Raine, raised an eyebrow, and gossiped: "Hey, Raine, what did she an by saying she’ll be back in a few days?"
In fact, the other won were also curious about this question, but only the bold and carefree Laisa outright asked without any awkwardness.
"I don’t know either..." Raine shook his head and said.
"Sheesh~ If you don’t want to say, just don’t." It was evident Laisa thought Raine just didn’t want to talk.
....
Half an hour later.
When Raine and his party of five arrived at the Adventurer’s Association, the first-floor hall was already bustling.
The early bird catches the worm, and for the adventurers on the first floor, this was indeed sowhat true. After all, if there were new tasks posted, arriving early ant they could take the most suitable tasks.
As they moved through the hall, a group of adventurers admired them, watching them ascend the stairs to the second floor.
Suddenly, Raine saw a familiar figure with a Great Sword on their back appear at the bend of the stairs.
Seeing Giant Blade Squad Captain Schneider, Raine’s eyebrows raised, and he called out with so joy: "Captain Schneider, what a coincidence, did you just return from completing your task as well?"
Hearing footsteps behind him, Schneider, who just turned his head, saw Raine and also smiled with pleasure, saying, "Yes, we just got back from the Valley of Dead Water. What about you guys?"
" too..." But after saying just two words, Raine seed to realize sothing. Schneider’s gaze had passed him and was looking behind him.
The other mbers of the Giant Blade Squad, including Ranger Zane and the female Fire Mage Hayley, turned their gazes over, focusing particularly on Raine and the Druid Maiden Sulfur Vine.
This imdiately made Sulfur Vine’s face turn red!
After all, Schneider had heard Sulfur Vine say it was for sothing important.
Yet she turned around and went to the Valley of Dead Water?
And joined Raine’s team?
And at this mont, Schneider’s expression turned gloomy and dispirited, as if—’a younger sister got taken away by so brat.’
Adventurers knew that Healers were always in high demand.
This was true even among Black Iron Level Adventurers, although slightly better than the newbies, there was still a shortage.
Schneider glanced at Raine with so grievance, raised his hand as if wanting to pat Raine on the shoulder, but seeing the spikes on the Courage Shoulder Armor, he had no choice but to lower his hand and said, "Brother, that’s not very fair of you."
As he said this, Schneider’s gaze swept across Elise and Sulfur Vine, the two Healers.
The look in his eyes seed to say: Isn’t one Healer enough for you? Do you have to take two?
Don’t you know my team doesn’t even have one? It’s tough, you know?
And the pretty female Fire Mage Hayley from the Giant Blade Squad looked at Raine with amusent mixed with so intrigue.
At this mont, Raine, though unsure what Sulfur Vine had said to Schneider, could roughly guess the whole story.
But he didn’t know what to say and could only chuckle wryly.
What could he say?
He couldn’t possibly say, "I didn’t poach them; they ca to voluntarily, right?"
That statent would be a double critical hit, wouldn’t it?
"Hey? Mr. Rein? Your Chest Armor is pretty badly damaged."
Schneider noticed the damage on Raine’s Chest Armor — it was damaged both in the front and back, and seed to be in the sa aligned position.
With his combat experience, he quickly saw that it was a penetrating wound and the location was near the heart.
This was very dangerous!
If it were him or most adventurers, having taken such a hit would basically an ga over.
Upon hearing Schneider’s words, everyone else turned to look at Raine’s Chest Armor.
"Mr. Rein, you’re still young, sotis you shouldn’t push yourself too hard. No matter how many Healers you have, if your luck is bad, you might not pull through."
"Uh... thanks for the reminder, Captain Schneider." Raine nodded.
Schneider’s words were ant kindly, not as a lecture, and Raine understood this clearly.
