New Era, August 3rd, Early Morning, Clear.
Another daybreak.
This is still the Guild Hall, bustling with the morning rush.
The reason for the morning rush is that most people have their als in the Guild Hall in the morning.
Why not eat outside?
After all, it's Burton's breakfast cuisine here, with a chef cooking for everyone, a service you can't enjoy outside even if you pay.
Thus, early and late als are the tis when the Guild is most crowded.
Only during noon does the crowd slightly decrease due to work reasons.
However, if ti permits, most people still have all three als in the Guild.
Due to the supply of ingredients from the Platinum Country, all ingredients in the Guild Hall are Magic Ingredients, aning every al is a Magic Cuisine.
Long-term use can enhance physical fitness and various abilities.
It only requires a little Contribution Points.
Perhaps in the past, they would consider while ordering, but ever since entering the World Ring.
The Guild Hall mbers have had no lack of Contribution Points, it's just the daily three als, even if each al is Magic Cuisine, it's still enough.
After all, Kane would not really raise these prices too high; it's a kind of welfare for the Guild.
And this morning, many Guild mbers surrounded the bulletin board beside the front desk because it had a new information sheet, lined with gold edges.
This signifies that it is information written for the gold level.
Although not everyone ets the standard, it doesn't stop them from satisfying their curiosity.
It's rare for tasks to appear on the bulletin board, let alone tasks aid at a certain level of power.
And this information sheet was a task released by Kane.
Because it involves forming an elite team for execution, it requires gold-level mbers, limited to Explorers.
The Guild's other gold mbers still need to stay at the territory to guard its safety.
Although threats in the surrounding area are few, it's always better to be on guard.
Beside them, there's also an alliance of three races.
Even though the golden-level mbers of this alliance may number only 5-10, and they have a good relationship with Kane and the others.
It's always good to be cautious.
The gold-level mbers on guard in the territory are enough to support Kane and his team.
The information sheet detailed this operation and the requirents for the personnel involved.
"A chanical Race, and it's an escort and rescue mission, fighting together with the President's team?"
"So annoying, I'm just one step away from gold, I want to go too."
"No problem, I'll go for you, I'm gold, I'm eligible."
"Bah!"
"Tui!"
"Scram!"
Those who saw this information inford their teammates.
Soon after, all gold-level mbers of the Guild gathered around.
"Can't follow His Majesty to war? So annoying!"
"Don't cause trouble, you're not even an Explorer, your strength is certainly not up to an Explorer's level."
"But it's said that after the World Ring fully stabilizes and connects with the Mist World, we can also beco Explorers."
"It's not just said; His Majesty personally confird it."
Since it only requires gold Explorers, it made Kane's gold-level subordinates very disgruntled.
Yet even among the gold Explorer mbers, they all wanted to join this operation.
After all, they've been sowhat idle recently, so even quite bored.
They can't, like Kane, comprehend rules without restriction and continue comprehending.
So the training ground has basically beco their daily pasti, and those with skills can teach at schools or elsewhere.
Those without skills are truly idle the whole day.
Patrolling around the territory, helping civilians, or escorting refugees.
This ti there's finally a mission, of course, they're eager to join vigorously.
But the issue is that the action team only recruits 5 people besides Kane's 5.
A total of 10 people in the team.
They need to make choices.
And Kane, seeing these Guild mbers in front, shook his head helplessly.
Letting them make choices themselves was totally ineffective, everyone wanted to go.
No other way, Kane had to personally select.
Looking at these people in front, Kane thought about the mission and their personalities and abilities and said.
"Funa, Raphael, Holhorst, Star Symbol..."
Just as Kane was deliberating, a figure rushed over urgently and shouted at Kane.
"Kane, I want to go too, take ."
The one who ca was a dragon-shaped creature over a ter high, reflecting silver light.
It was the Cot Dragon Israel.
"Israel?"
"Kane, take with you, I want to go too. My strength should be decent, right?"
Upon hearing Israel's words, Kane thought for a while, then nodded.
"Then the last one will be Israel."
With that, the five participants were all decided.
The mbers who weren't chosen looked dejected, feeling it was a sha not to be part of such a mission.
As for why the selected mbers ca from different teams instead of just choosing Raphael's entire squad to act together?
It's because this wasn't a dungeon exploration; there was no need for team-by-team action. Kane needed to make decisions based on certain situations.
Of course, there's Kane's own team, which is naturally the strongest five in the guild.
With the Skill Stone plus the authority of the Platinum Country's blessing, their strength had increased at an incredible speed, almost unmatched within the guild.
Funa and Star Symbol, the only ones apart from Kane who understand magic machinery among the guild explorers.
This ti, they were going to rescue the chanical Race, and the enemy forces used similar magic machinery.
Naturally, these two were the first choice.
Raphael needs no introduction; his abilities are exceptionally agile, and he's also part of the first tier after Kane and others.
Furthermore, he's quick-witted and has experience in leading, making him capable of exerting trendous influence.
If the situation required splitting into teams, he'd be the best commander of the second team.
Dragon-man Holhors, an extrely fast offensive specialist.
A quick and strong explorer with high attack power and decent defense.
Such talent naturally needed to be prioritized into the team.
No matter the demands at the ti, it would be very convenient.
Finally joining was Israel, which was self-explanatory.
He could fly and was incredibly fast; his defense didn't need others to worry about, probably just less than Longbei.
With a massive physique, there's no need to discuss his attack capabilities.
In ergency situations, riding on him for quick evacuation was possible.
When we didn't think of Israel, it wasn't a big deal, but once he was considered, no better choice erged.
After confirming the mbers, the detailed intelligence for the mission followed.
After Kane and company detailed the plan, they said:
"The operation will comnce at dusk today. You can start preparing; we'll et outside the City of Two Realms then."
Having said that, Kane, along with Kreya and others, left the Guild Hall.
They also needed to make so preliminary preparations.
The explorers who weren't selected looked regretful.
The Shire siblings beside Funa expressed their envy and jostled each other.
For instance, saying things like, "If not for you, maybe I would've been chosen."
Finaris, on the other hand, was indifferent, as she hadn't reached the gold level yet and found nothing to regret.
Besides, she had other matters to attend to lately.
As a Saintess with powerful Holy Light Magic, she was currently providing free healing services among other territories around their domain.
The treatnt was naturally aid at countless civilians, as other dominions wouldn't treat their civilians as well as Kane's side.
Facing Finaris's benevolence, they didn't mind even if they wanted to refuse. After all, they dared not provoke Kane's forces.
All these contributed to the World Ring, accumulating credits until she could receive the Mist's Blessing.
Many guild explorers who hadn't reached the gold level chose this path.
Breaking this final barrier equated to replacing outside dungeon explorations.
Raphael, smugly patting Kafka's shoulder, then smiled at his teammates, revealing eight gleaming teeth:
"Don't be discouraged. After all, being chosen is because your captain is too strong. You all need to work harder so you won't drag down in the future, hahaha."
"Can't hold back anymore; let's all get him."
Then Raphael was pinned down by his three teammates and beaten.
Raphael could only run around with his head in his hands, dodging around the guild.
As for Star Symbol, having been selected, naturally stood by and watched quietly.
Holhors, anwhile, conversed with Israel.
Previously, due to various reasons, though they knew of each other's existence, they didn't have ti to converse and get to know each other. This was a perfect opportunity.
Perhaps due to both having dragon bloodlines, they felt particularly close.
After the commotion in the Guild Hall, everyone relaxed.
After relaxing for a while, they naturally had to start serious tasks.
Not long after, everyone began preparing according to the intelligence Kane provided.
The team mbers who weren't selected handed over so potential equipnt and items to them, just in case.
Particularly items related to resurrection were given to them.
Though the guild had the Spring of Rebirth, it was a last resort, only to be used when absolutely necessary.
The camaraderie between teams was akin to familial bonds.
Especially with these teams in Kane's guild, all screened by Lilulu.
Indifference to enemies maybe, but trust and friendliness towards their own were certain.
