Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

Command the guard squad!

"This level of strength is almost equivalent to the core guard squad of the tomb, right?" Nan Yi asked doubtfully.

Beside her, Song Zhizhi nodded and replied, "That's right. Our mission this time is to go deep into the Valley of the Kings and deal with the guards protecting the tomb of Ramses II."

"At that time, after we deal with the guard squad, personnel from the Egyptian Royal Academy will be sent to handle the remaining aura in the tomb."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yi's lips twitched: "So we also have to be responsible for the safety of those researchers?"

Song Zhizhi shrugged helplessly: "Yes, the Grand Master somehow persuaded the Luxor government to assign us such an important mission."

Normally, even if the Nationalist government's team is involved in local affairs, they would not be assigned any very important missions to other nationalist governments.

"Do you have any specific information about that Mummy Horned Viper squad?" Nan Yi asked.

Song Zhizhi continued, "This squad consists of four commander-level mummy vipers, guarding the main entrance to Ramses II's tomb. Three of them are at the level of minor commanders, and the other has strength close to that of a grand commander."

"The mummy horned viper is not only a master of poison, capable of creating a large cloud of poisonous mist, but also possesses a powerful physical body. Their bodies are filled with the power of curses, and if ordinary mages are brought close, their minds will be unnaturally affected by the power of the curses. In addition, they are extremely difficult to deal with because they fight on their home turf in the tomb."

As soon as Song Zhizhi finished speaking, Leng Qing's voice rang out.

"We have just received news that the Luxor army previously sent a squad of fifteen high-ranking mages to attempt to break into the tomb."

"But no one survived."

"what!"

Leng Qing's words immediately caused an uproar among the National Government officials. Zu Xiangtian, Mu Fangming, and others were all taken aback, clearly as none of them had known this news beforehand.

“I just found out myself. This must have happened when we were still at the Egyptian Pavilion in Cairo,” Leng Qing continued.

The Chinese National Government team arrived in Egypt a week ago. Upon landing, they went to the Egyptian Pavilion in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and only after receiving the pavilion badge did they receive the training mission of Feng Li and arrive in Luxor.

It seems that Luxor officials have suppressed this news, which is why there is almost no information about it circulating outside the city.

You have to understand that there are a lot of hunters gathered around the Valley of the Kings right now. They were all mobilized by the military. If they suddenly learn of such a terrible piece of news, it's unimaginable how much it will damage morale and fighting spirit!

"How are we supposed to fight? There are only 12 of us, and they're all at the highest level. Are you telling us to go and die?" Mu Fangming started to back down.

“Yes…” Li Yang echoed softly.

Li Yang was clearly no longer as arrogant and defiant as he had been when he first arrived. It was unclear what had happened during Nan Yi's absence that had caused him to lose all his arrogance.

"Coward!" Han Li said disdainfully.

“Just because someone wants to die doesn’t mean we should follow suit,” Mu Fangming retorted.

“We could try without the researchers, but having to guarantee their safety throughout the entire process is a bit too demanding,” Zu Xiangtian said.

Zu Xiangtian's words were not without merit. Everyone was an elite mage, and even if they couldn't win, they had certain means of self-defense. But with the researchers added in, it was a completely different level of difficulty.

At this moment, Mao Xianyi spoke up.

“Before Nan Yi returned to the team, it was indeed more difficult, but now that Nan Yi is back, this mission is not entirely impossible to complete.”

Upon hearing Mao Xianyi's words, even Zu Xiangtian was momentarily speechless. "Him?" Li Yang scoffed.

But this time, no one echoed him. Even Zu Xiangtian, Mu Fangming, and others who were usually very close to him remained silent.

Li Yang was still unaware of the problem.

"I don't know where he got his military merits from. He has no background and no ability, yet he made it into the National Team."

During this time, Li Yang also learned about Nan Yi's situation from Zu Xiangtian and others. This person only got into the National Government team by relying on connections to gain some military merits. His strength is not good, and he is not a good person either!

Of course, the claim that Nan Yi's strength was not great was mainly based on his own imagination. After all, Zu Xiangtian never mentioned Nan Yi's strength at all, but only kept belittling Nan Yi, making him mistakenly believe that Nan Yi was a soft target due to connections.

It can be said that Nan Yi stole his seat in the National Government!

Han Li, Qin Mo, and the others looked at Li Yang with ambiguous smiles, while Zu Xiangtian and the other two awkwardly pretended to be dead.

Nan Yi, who was being mocked, looked at everyone's expressions and roughly guessed what was going on. He found it both funny and absurd.

This child was probably used as a pawn by Zu Xiangtian and his two companions, but Nan Yi wasn't the type to let someone take advantage of him without fighting back.

"Then how come you can't compare to me when I have neither background nor strength?" Nan Yi asked with a smile.

“That’s because of you…” Li Yang wanted to retort, but didn’t know where to begin.

"If you're really not convinced, then after this training, you can challenge the team. Then it will be clear who stays and who leaves."

Last time, because Nan Yi voluntarily left the team, no one left. But now that Nan Yi has returned, naturally some people will want to leave.

Nan Yi replied to Li Yang expressionlessly, then looked at Mao Xianyi, no longer dwelling on the topic.

"Captain, you should already have a plan, right? I just got back and don't know the situation yet, so I'll just follow your arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xianyi looked at Nan Yi gratefully, then turned to the others and said solemnly, "This mission is not only related to our training targets, but also to our international reputation. I hope everyone will take it seriously. If we complete it well, it will also be very beneficial to the families behind you."

Mao Xianyi is right. If they can solve Luxor's problem, it will be like sending charcoal in snowy weather. It will also be very beneficial for the aristocratic families behind them if they want to develop internationally in the future.

"Nan Yi, the task of protecting the researchers will be entrusted to you and Han Li. There may be cursed traps at any time in the tomb, so Han Li must pay attention to the safety of the researchers."

“Yes, Captain,” Han Li replied.

“Okay, Captain,” Nan Yi replied.

Although Li Yang was dissatisfied with Mao Xianyi assigning such an important task to Nan Yi, he couldn't say anything now. He was just waiting for Nan Yi to fail in protecting him so he could get revenge.

“Zu Xiangtian and Mu Fangming are in one team, Li Yang and Leng Qing are in another team, and Miao Ying and Dongfang Linlin are in another team. You will each be responsible for one of the small commanders.”

"Bai Mei, Qin Mo, and I will deal with that mid-level commander together. Song Zhizhi, you will provide support for the team. The three of us will take care of that mid-level commander as soon as possible, and then assist you in defeating them one by one."

With her fire-type soul seed, Bai Mei is practically the strongest destruction mage in the team, except for Nan Yi, of course.

"No problem, Captain." Everyone nodded.
