After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

Chapter 19 The useless captain
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the Sparrow District on the edge of the city has fallen into silence, but the Baige District, where the rich gather, is still brightly lit.

The bustling shopping street is lit up with various magic lights. There are many fashionable men and women on the street. Occasionally, you can see the strange scene of orcs and elves lovers, holding hands side by side.

Starting from an oracle from the goddess of the world tree 300 years ago, the war on the continent ended and a peaceful state of multi-racial coexistence entered.

According to the oracle, the 'Demon King Satan', who was sealed by the previous generation of braves, is about to return from the bottom of the demon world. In order to select new braves, the goddess of the World Tree placed the strongest weapon [The Sword of the Brave] on the top of the secret realm of the World Tree.

This further enhances the status of adventurers. All intelligent life forms living in the secret continent have the goal of climbing to the top of the World Tree and pulling out the Sword of the Brave.

At this time, a large luxurious villa in the inner city.

In the luxuriously decorated large living room, a girl wearing a loose orange dress fell asleep on the sofa.

The long red hair like silk was scattered, falling to the ground like a waterfall.

After coming out of the shower, Leah was completely relaxed. She planned to rest on the sofa for a while, but unexpectedly she fell into a drowsy sleep.

"——There is no doubt that the continent is prosperous because of the existence of the World Tree!"

Leah dreamed of ten years ago, hiding outside the window of the Noble Academy and eavesdropping on the teacher's lecture.

"But what I want to explain is that the World Tree we see is not its main trunk."

Is not it?Leah thought to herself.

She brought her ears closer.

"The roots of the World Tree are all over the continent, and those roots that break through the ground become small World Trees, which is the one we see. The upper limit of each World Tree is different, some are only 5 layers, and some are 20. Only the sacred World Tree in the center of the continent, in the sanctuary, can lead to the top floor!"

"With the world trees as the center, the original adventurers gathered. They multiplied and multiplied, formed villages, and the number of people increased, gradually turning into towns and cities."

"This is the origin of our City of Hearts!"

"Don't be ashamed of your status as a descendant of the founder of your city, strive to become an adventurer, and aim to reach the top of the World Tree!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

The excited shouts of the children burst through the windows.

Are the descendants of the founders great?
Under the window, Leah, wearing dirty civilian clothes, clenched the straight wooden stick in her hand as if she was stimulated, her eyes full of anger towards her situation.

She thought that sooner or later, she would become a top adventurer and be respected by everyone, instead of hiding in other people's classrooms and listening to lectures.

The flow of time seemed to be accelerated tens of thousands of times. After a vomiting spin, Leah discovered that she had left the City of Hearts and arrived at a dirty and dilapidated rental house in the White Pigeon City.

The pitted mahogany round table has a musty smell that never goes away.

A bunch of people are crowded together, and the air seems to be sucked thin. Every time you take a breath, you have to exert a lot of effort.

Those memories of poverty stung Leah's nerves every time she thought of them.

"Please lead everyone, no one is left behind, to clear the top of the World Tree!"

The sudden familiar voice made Leah's eyelids twitch. She saw that not far in front of her, among the five people gathered in front of the round table, one of the red-haired girls, who was obviously younger than her, stood up suddenly. He bowed down and begged the healer in the team.

Leah's face turned dark on the spot, why was it that day?

She woke up as if from a nightmare.

He sat up from the sofa in a daze and touched his forehead, which was covered with sweat.

'Climb the top of the World Tree without falling behind? '

She was so naive at that time, and Linda actually agreed with a serious look on her face.

Leah found it a bit funny. Anyone who is an adventurer knows that it is impossible to climb to the top of the World Tree without personnel changes.

There are fifty levels of secret realms in total, and each level has several random maps with various guardians in them.It is impossible to deal with all the guardians by relying on a few fixed team members.

Personnel changes are too normal. The main members of the Snow Goose Adventure Team have not changed in the past three years. In the eyes of other adventurers, it is 'abnormal'.

As the captain of the Snow Goose Adventure Team, Leah should have kicked the 15th-level Linda out of the team long ago. However, out of love for her old teammates, she kept Linda and gave him the rewards of being a main player.

After returning from World Tree, Leah thought about it all afternoon, but she still didn't understand the reason why Linda quit the team.

She glumly took out a bottle of juice from the refrigerator, held it in her hands and took a sip.

Leah thought in her mind that before she asked Linda to take everyone to the top of the World Tree in the rental house, Linda was very powerful and could lead the team to pass the high level at a low level.

But since asking him, it became clear that the team's level had exceeded the strategy level recommended by the Adventurer's Guild, and they still refused to advance. They had to make everyone proficient enough to deal with all the bosses on that floor without getting hurt.

As long as Linda shows off her previous abilities, she can live casually, right?

Leah became angrier as she thought about it.

"Fan, aren't you ready yet?"

She finished drinking the juice and banged the table angrily.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response. This was the first time this happened.

Leah was stunned for a moment, and after looking around, she realized that the living room was empty except for her.

Echo and Crona should be in their own rooms. The couple Kanei and Orlu bought a house in installments and do not live here.

"Where's the rice, rice!"

Leah bit her lip in anger.

Originally, Linda should have prepared dinner at this time and they could just wait and eat. However, Linda suddenly quit the team and she didn't have time to recruit a new cook.

Her stomach kept growling, and Leah went to the refrigerator to find something to eat with resentment.

She dug out a few bags of dumplings from the storage layer containing the frozen magic array.

"Let's eat this tonight."

Leah felt a little calmer when she saw a handwritten label on the package, saying it was leek and pork stuffing.

This strange delicacy with fillings wrapped in dough is often eaten by her as a late-night snack.

In the past, you only had to shout and someone would cook the dumplings, but now you can only cook by yourself.

Liya thought it was quite fresh, so she carried the dumplings into the kitchen with great interest.

It was her first time doing something like this, and she had the excitement of an adventurer entering a new secret realm.

After a lot of fussing, she finally managed to open the stove, and the light blue flames rose. The next step was to pour water into the pot. Although she had never seen how Linda cooked, she could guess it even if she guessed.

Pour in the water and put a large bag of dumplings in.

This much is enough for three people.

Leia put on her apron and crossed her arms, proudly imagining the scene of Echo and Crona praising her in disbelief.

Gululu, after a while, the cold water heated up to boiling and began to bubble.

But Leah's eyes widened stupidly, what's going on, the dumplings were all broken, and the fillings flowed everywhere!

"Aike, Aike, come here quickly, something's wrong!"
