In the eting room, Hilia, Benovia, and other Holy Daughter candidates sat around the round table, looking at each other.
Sitting at the head, Blake watched this scene with a smile.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
In this day and age, why still insist on leading separate teams?
These five people were each skilled in different areas, complenting each other perfectly, making one team more effective for exploration.
Blake thought.
Seeing that the five Holy Daughters remained silent, he smiled and said, "Are you surprised? The school decided that with your strengths complenting each other, you’ll have a chance to deeply investigate the Lost Lighthouse. This decision has already been approved by the Holy Master."
"You don’t need to worry; the Holy Daughter selection is not about turning you into enemies or forcing you to beco Holy Daughters. If you beco archbishops, your status won’t be lower than that of the Holy Daughters."
"Alright, let’s proceed with your division of labor."
"Doris has extensive experience with relics and is familiar with various ancient ruins, so she’ll be the team leader for this exploration;"
"Benovia has abundant knowledge and strong combat abilities, so she’ll be the main combat force and relic appraiser;"
"Phil, as a Holy Priest, possesses powerful healing capabilities, so she’ll be the team’s priest;"
"Encore, as a pharmacist, can assist in combat, identify materials within the ruins, and bring back valuable herbs;"
"Hilia is familiar with various runes and can assist in combat, help the team identify arrays and runes within the ruins to avoid falling into traps."
After speaking, Blake looked at everyone and asked, "Do you have any objections to this division of labor?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Good, no objections, that’s the best." Blake smiled.
He remarked, "The Lost Lighthouse is considered an ancient ruin that has been explored for a long ti. That lighthouse is like a living creature, very sensitive to High-tier Mages; as soon as a Tier Four or above Mage enters, the lighthouse’s light will shine, causing demon rampages and pollution outbreaks that destroy important relics inside.
"To prevent the relics from being destroyed, we’ve only sent Low-tier Mages to explore, but unfortunately, over the years, countless mages have been dispatched, none able to enter the lighthouse and retrieve the ancient seafaring technology stored there.
"These years, due to the lack of exploration, the pollution has instead spread outwards. If during your exploration you can find the cause of the pollution’s spread, that’s best, but if not, it’s okay. Just rember, do not approach the lighthouse.
"Though the lighthouse is open to the low-tier, even a team of elite Tier Three Mages entering will be extrely perilous. You only need to investigate the illuminated area, see if anything is expanding the lighthouse’s pollution; if nothing is found, then clearing out demons that have grown to Tier Two or even Tier Three is enough.
"The trial lasts for two months, there’s no need to rush. You can return to camp for rest in between, the school will replenish your supplies at the strategy camp, take your ti."
Saying this, Blake stood up, "Get acquainted with each other first, depart in the afternoon."
After saying this, he left the eting room, leaving Hilia and the others to stare at each other.
Hilia looked around and chose to remain silent.
Before, it was said there’d be a small test for the Holy Daughters after the finals, supposed to be a fight or competition over sothing.
Unexpectedly, it’s combined with the year-end trial?
Combined is one thing, but to have them form a team?
Does the school want to see them scheming against each other during relic exploration?
Muttering to herself, Doris was the first to stand up.
Doris glanced at Hilia, then looked at everyone else, with a proud tone she said:
"Everyone, although I don’t particularly want to team up with you to explore these ruins, because I’d surely outdo you all if I led on my own."
"However, since the school placed you under my leadership, making the team leader, I’ll have to assu that responsibility."
She looked at Hilia again before continuing, "I’ve done detailed research on the Lost Lighthouse and have visited it once. Let explain the situation of this ancient ruin."
"The opponents in this ancient ruin have a characteristic: the more you fight them, the stronger they beco, especially when they’re about to die, like mad dogs. Very troubleso, but nothing problematic for ."
"The principal has asked us to enter the illuminated area; this area is the coastal region surrounding the lighthouse. There’s sothing here worth noting: the Ghost Ship. The Ghost Ship randomly docks along the coast, its appearance drives nearby enemies insane, and it releases heavy pollution."
Saying this, she turned to Phil, "I say Phil, your body, severely afflicted by pollution, if you don’t find a way to mitigate it, when you encounter the Ghost Ship, the compounding pollution might kill you on the coast; don’t say I didn’t warn you."
Phil’s cheeks lacked any color, she lightly coughed, and smiled, "Don’t worry, Doris, I won’t hold everyone back."
Hilia secretly glanced at Phil, thinking to herself, "The pollution has worsened... what exactly is she doing?"
Rose’s shadow erged beside Hilia, he glanced at Benovia.
After Rose appeared, Benovia seed to sense sothing and quickly looked over, showing a puzzled expression.
Rose nodded, good, there’s a slight perception now, progress is quick.
He didn’t continue focusing on Benovia, instead watching Phil closely, frowning slightly, "Up close observation confirms this girl is intentionally letting demonic qi into her body, and is using her own Holy magic power to fight the demonic qi, enhancing the purity of her Holy magic power through this confrontation."
Hilia blinked, surprisingly: "Does she not know how dangerous that is? Refining magic power purity in this way..."
"It’s not just for that reason, you’d have to ask her for specifics."
"Will she be affected by the Lost Lighthouse’s Ghost Ship?"
"That depends on when I see the Lost Lighthouse, identify what it is."
While Hilia and Rose communicated, Doris continued directing.
From Phil onward, she pointed out potential impacts on everyone during exploration.
The others remained silent, none stood up to argue with her.
Hilia too, when Doris pointed at her, just looked at her without responding, while the others might reply with a sentence or two, Hilia couldn’t be bothered.
Rather than dealing with Doris, chatting more with Lord Rose would be better!
Beside her, Benovia frequently looked in Hilia’s direction, feeling quite perplexed.
Such a strange feeling...
What is Hilia doing?
It always feels like she’s communicating with soone...
Benovia ca up with a bold idea—
Could it be the God of Hiro Association?!
