Chapter 76 High-end hunters often appear as prey
The three teams with different goals met at the foot of Mount Lesler.
"I heard that the evil dragon on Mount Lesser is extremely ferocious. I wonder if we can mine the Dragon Rhythm Magic Mine today."
The one who spoke was a C-rank adventurer who looked like the leader of the team.
From what he said, he should be like Miss and the others, an outsider who came here to mine.
At this time, the bald man from D-level came over and greeted Miss and the other man enthusiastically.
"You two are members of the [Justice Enforcement] Guild. This beautiful lady must be Miss Iceheart, right?"
Sylvia had no intention of paying attention to him. She crossed her arms across her chest, just enough to cover up the damn armband that exposed her identity. Miss nodded in respect and did not say anything.
"My name is Ball, and they are my teammates. Although we are not very strong, we are all locals from Tanis City and are familiar with the situation on Mount Lesir. We have basically figured out the habits of the evil dragon. We can go up the mountain together later. I believe I can help you two."
Miss and Sylvia remained silent, wanting to see what tricks this local was going to play.
Seeing that the two still had no intention of communicating with him, Bauer inevitably felt a little embarrassed, but the C-rank adventurer next to him came over and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Really? Mr. Bauer, if you can, please help my team. My name is Lumo, please take care of me."
Ball naturally held the hand that Lumo handed over, looking honest, but his next words quickly created a sharp contrast with his expression.
"Of course, Mr. Lumo, but we won't provide help for free. If you think it's useful, you can give us some copper coins as our guide fee."
As soon as the man said this, Miss instantly felt that it was right.
He didn't believe that the locals of Tanis City would provide free services to outsiders. That was against the customs.
"Mr. Ball, you are joking. We have all heard about the dangers of Mount Lesser. Although my team is quite strong, without the guidance of locals, we will definitely have a lot of trouble. If we can get the help of Mr. Ball, it will definitely be much safer. I have to be responsible for my partners."
When Lumo said the last sentence, he subconsciously glanced towards Miss and was discovered by Miss.
Missy frowned and pouted. What? Are you pointing at me?
He would never believe that Lumo and Ball didn't know each other before. These two groups must be in the same group.
One team pretends to be guides and the other team acts as babysitters.
This trick is indeed effective in fooling other outsiders, but it is still a little bit insufficient to fool yourself.
Most of the people in the team acting as babysitters were around level 2 in strength, which was what Miss had discovered at the beginning using [Magic Perception]. On the contrary, the guide team wearing D-level and E-level armbands were masters whose strength should not be underestimated.
There is an unwritten rule among adventurers that it is extremely impolite to use [Magic Perception] on someone you meet for the first time.
But he didn't care about all that. He was going to be the villain, so why should he be polite? It was already very polite of him not to snatch the lollipop from the kid's hand.
Miss looked at the group of people casually and felt like laughing.
A group of LV2s are wearing C-level armbands, which is indeed a clear flaw. Even if they all use D-level armbands, their credibility will be much higher than it is now.
However, that B-level elven magician is indeed not weak, and her armband should be her own.
At present, the biggest threat to the two of them is undoubtedly her.
With the enhancement of her magic, Sylvia will definitely have no problem dealing with this group of scammers, but she is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with them with the help of this big sister from the elf.
Miss lowered his head and whispered in Xiluvia's ear, "There is something wrong with this group of people. Let's withdraw today."
Sylvia's mind was full of question marks. What was the problem? Why didn't she see that there was a problem? Without thinking too much about it, she chose to directly trust Miss's judgment and prepared to leave with Miss.
Just as Miss turned around and prepared to run away, a sexy and pleasant female voice sounded in his mind.
"Don't leave."
Misty was stunned on the spot.
His eyes were a little panicked, and he looked around, and finally, he met the eyes of the big elf sister.
"You can't leave yet."
Miss's eyes did not leave her lips. He could see clearly that the other party did not open her mouth.
WTF, communicating with yourself directly?
Wait, wasn't she begging me to do something? Why was her tone so firm?
Mis was not going to give her face, after all, she didn't know her.
Just as he was about to move again, the elven magician controlled him with just five words.
"Miss Giles."
Miss was stunned again. Since he was always wearing a big wizard hat, the people in his guild didn't know his true identity. How could he be recognized by this big sister all of a sudden?
Oh no, there’s a cheat!
"I can guarantee the safety of both of you."
Mis's mind became anxious for a moment, and he grabbed Sylvia's wrist and asked her to stop.
Xiluvia was puzzled, "Aren't we going to retreat?"
Miss looked into those beautiful but lifeless eyes for a long time and made a decision.
Trust her once.
"The plan has changed. We will not withdraw for now."
Soon, the three teams reached a cooperation and set out for Mount Lesler together.
Halfway up Mount Lesler, the plants grow noticeably more lushly than at the foot of the mountain, and it seems they are also being nourished by the dragon energy.
The group rested by a clear stream on the mountainside and sat in a circle. Ball and Lumo sat opposite each other.
Miss's eyes looked a little confused, but he was always paying attention to the two people's mouth shapes.
OK, we are plotting in public. Fortunately, I can read lips.
The silent communication between the two was seen clearly by Miss who was standing by. Even though the two cautious people deliberately disrupted the order of words, Miss still saw through it.
Bower: What about that female magician? I've never seen her before?
Lumo: Boss, I picked this guy up on the way. He's stupid and dumb, doesn't talk much, and he's also a pumpkin.
"Pumpkin" is a term used by the locals of Tanis City to describe fools. Generally, those novice adventurers or wealthy people who have just arrived are called pumpkins by the locals.
BAUER: How's the flesh of this pumpkin?
Lumo, don't worry, boss. The melon flesh is very full and the seeds are golden.
Ball: I didn't expect to get such an unexpected gain. You did a good job.
Through their secret conversation, Miss learned that they also did not know the long-eared elf. Of course, the possibility of their collusion in acting could not be ruled out.
But if they and the long-eared elves really don't know each other, things will become interesting.
High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.
Ball, Lumo, danger!
