Chapter 197: Blue-Level Mission Reward
The last ti Janna Roland was turned into a Rook by Anthony-Rook, although her appearance had undergone a 【Complete Transfiguration】,
the magical energy radiating from her body remained aligned with the Plant Affinity, so at that ti, Lucia Heigel had seen through her at a glance.
"【Complete Transfiguration】 already belongs to the scope of an advanced course. I wonder if Professor Lilith Mage will continue teaching it—"
Anthony-Rook had previously said that, because of the confidentiality agreent he signed, he was unable to teach either 【Advanced Contract Studies】 or 【Advanced dical Studies】. Janna could only continue her studies after entering Dordogne - White Tower.
And since 【Transfiguration】 was a course exclusively taught by Lilith Mage, Janna wasn't sure whether 【Complete Transfiguration】, which only ca under 【Advanced Transfiguration】, would be taught later. "Hoo—"
The biting wind carried with it delicate snowflakes.
After a night-long search, Anthony-Rook and Janna, guided by the Celestial Finch's "navigation", had located another five places where "Ritual of Divine Descension" had been set up.
From an aerial view over Turin, the six locations of the "Ritual of Divine Descension" ford a uniformly arranged hexagram.
But without exception, under the purification of the Celestial Finch's "Holy Fla", all these "Rituals of Divine Descension" were destroyed.
As the final Darksun Apostle was eliminated by Anthony-Rook, the system prompt signaling mission completion echoed in Janna's mind.
【Today's Mission: Complete the purification of Darksun Contamination (Completed);
Mission Reward: 500 points of Talent EXP, 2000 points of Skill EXP, Agility 0.4, one clue to a Fragnt of the Law of Growth.】
"A clue to a Fragnt of the Law of Growth??"
Looking at the reward details on the Quest Panel, Janna's eyes lit up.
"All six ritual coordinates have been dismantled. That should be it."
Having said that, Janna leaped from Anthony-Rook’s shoulder and with a twist of her form, returned to human shape.
"Can your Contract Summoned Creature still sense Darksun Contamination?"
"It can't sense anything anymore."
"Hmm."
Hearing Janna's words, Anthony-Rook’s previously tense expression relaxed noticeably.
"I need to head to Blackbone Grove. You can go back on your own."
"Alright, Headmaster."
Blue and white flas suddenly flared, and in the blink of an eye, Anthony-Rook’s figure had vanished into the street.
"Is it morning already—"
Looking up at the sky, the horizon had already begun to glow pale, and Janna, who had been busy all night, couldn't help but feel a bit weary.
"It's about ti to head back."
Since today was Monday, her day off, even after staying up all night, Janna could rest well today.
Moreover, due to an official trip scheduled for Thursday, the Nightingale Opera Troupe had specially allowed Janna to extend her break through Wednesday, and then take the earliest Magical Steam Train on Thursday morning to her destination.
During this period, Song of the Ocean would pause its broadcast, with Bloodshadow Rose temporarily filling in the vacant slot.
Though this would hurt the Nightingale Opera Troupe’s earnings for a few days, it was necessary for their long-term plans.
"Speaking of which, the destination for this business trip hasn’t been finalized yet—"
Due to the soaring popularity of Song of the Ocean starring Janna, up until now, three opera houses had extended touring invitations to the Nightingale Opera Troupe.
They were the Saint Laurent Opera House, the Dawn Opera House, and the Otter Opera House.
In terms of reputation, the Saint Laurent Opera House was the most famous. However, the Otter Opera House offered the most generous compensation.
That said, the overall capabilities of the three opera houses were quite comparable—even though the Saint Laurent Opera House had more popular performances, the Otter Opera House, located in Watermarsh City, was actually a Tier-3 wizard hub ranked higher than Turin City.
Thus, the Nightingale Opera Troupe had yet to finalize their Thursday destination.
In the end, the decision-making power fell into Janna’s hands.
"According to Julie’s instructions, I have to give these three opera houses a final answer today—"
Recalling Julie Anne’s words from their parting last night, Janna casually swept back her hair.
"For , it doesn’t matter which one I pick—it's just a matter of going now or a few months later."
Besides, compared to this "trivial" matter, Janna was more concerned with the 【Clue to a Fragnt of the Law of Growth】 on her Quest Panel.
"Hoo—"
Her steps light, her robe billowing,
accompanied by the crisp morning wind, Janna, having cast the 【Featherlight Spell】, sped out of Turin City, leaving behind a faint afterimage, disappearing into the fragnted light and mist of dawn—
P
As the elevator doors opened and Janna greeted the Door Spirit, she pushed open the door to her dormitory.
"As expected, I still prefer humid air over the dry chill of winter."
Touching her slightly dry cheeks, Janna took off her clothes and went into the washroom for a quick shower. Then, she picked up a jar of moisturizing cream Julie Anne had given her earlier and applied it evenly on her face and neck.
"I heard that apprentices with aquatic magical creature bloodlines soak in bathtubs all night during dry seasons."
After casting the 【Cleaning Spell】 to dry the water droplets from her hair, Janna changed into pajamas and finally had ti to examine the rewards from her Blue-Level Mission.
"This ti’s mission reward, besides the 【Clue to a Fragnt of the Law of Growth】, also gave an Agility boost—this helps offset my slow movent in battle."
In previous battles, Janna had been ambushed several tis by bloodline-side apprentices due to her slow movent speed.
For instance, when fighting a Blackbone Grove apprentice in the Swamp Secret Realm who had the bloodline of a 【Barrier-Crushing Blood Alligator】, if not for her 【Floral Guard】 shield being strong enough, she would have been taken out by surprise.
And during the encounter with the Lightning Cloud, had the Hundred-Eyed Specter not used 【Short-Range Blink】 to help her dodge lightning, Janna’s movent speed would’ve guaranteed she got hit.
"Among all witchcraft, speed is everything—if my Agility breaks past 10 points, maybe even a Howling Moon Alpha couldn’t outrun —"
Shaking her head to dispel such unrealistic thoughts, Janna sat on the bed and entered a Deep ditation pose, no longer hesitating, and with a thought, clicked on the reward item for 【Clue to a Fragnt of the Law of Growth】.
"Vmmm—"
Just like when she previously unlocked the 【Insight into the Knowledge of the Law of Purification】, a flash of erald light swept past, and nurous mystic symbols, like musical notes, poured into Janna’s mind at incredible speed...—
