After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

On a sunny morning, the practice square was covered with snow. The willow trees and flowers planted on the edge were all dressed in silver. The emerald green leaves shook off the snow in the breeze, exuding vitality.

"Hahaha, I did it, I did it! The first fragment of the magic law has finally been condensed!"

Suddenly, a man with short brown hair and freckles on his face jumped up in ecstasy.

Everyone opened their eyes in surprise.

I saw a white diamond-shaped fragment floating in the palm of the freckled man's hand.

Looking closely, one can see that the fragments are made up of countless magic runes.

"Envy. If you condense the first fragment, you can stand firm in the Light Rank. However, you need ten fragments to have a hope of advancing to the Saint Rank. How long do you have to practice?"

A birdman with white feathers sighed, "I have been in Bingyuan for a year, but I haven't condensed a single law fragment. It seems that there is no hope for me."

"Come on, brother! I just comprehended the first fragment of the law not long ago. As long as you take the first step, the rest will be fast."

A man wearing a scholar's robe and short blond hair said with a hearty smile: "As long as you and I work harder, there is hope for us to break through to the Saint level!"

The male's name is Wenqi and he was born in Xuanfeng City.

A year and a half ago, he helped Luanweihua rescue Monica, and made an appointment with Linda to meet again in Cangqing City.

But such a long time has passed that Wenqi has almost forgotten what happened.

Having said that, this Ice Abyss is indeed powerful. Wen Qi thinks that there is little hope for him to break through to the Light Level, but his potential has been stimulated time and time again in this special cold environment. Last month, he accumulated enough points and applied to the faction to enter a Class B training room.

Hard work pays off. After spending a year and a half, Wenqi finally succeeded in condensing the first fragment of the magic law!
Although the law of magic is the most basic and easiest to comprehend, it has an advantage that it can be converted into other laws halfway.

This is a huge benefit for ordinary light-level players like Wenqi.

Unlike those monster-level geniuses, they had already comprehended their own laws. For example, Bai Luo's "Law of Torrents", Bai Ge's United Leader, and Leah's "Law of Sparks", they could only start with the law of magic and find their own way little by little.

Hearing this, the birdman adventurer sighed again: "You talk nicely, but you have only condensed two law fragments.

Even if one is lucky enough to break through levels in the World Tree and advance to level 59, it is impossible to cross the threshold from the Light Level to the Saint Level without condensing 10 law fragments.

There is no hope, no hope at all!
Level 51 is my limit. I want to apply to quit Bingyuan. Staying here is just a waste of time."

Seeing the birdman wizard walk away dejectedly with his shoulders drooping, Wenqi opened his mouth but said nothing.

Even with the help of Bingyuan's special environment, there are still many people who cannot feel the myriad laws of the void.

Absorbing the runes of laws and engraving them in the spiritual world is considered to be mastering the first fragment of laws.

But the law is like an obscure book, the content becomes more difficult as you read further.

Vinci now has two of them. The third is nowhere in sight.

"Those 59-star rated freaks have basically comprehended 10 or even 11 law fragments before reaching level 2. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others. Why have I only condensed fragments after working so hard? Is this my limit?"

As Wenqi thought about it, he actually felt a little discouraged.

While meditating, it was morning in a blink of an eye.

"Hey, are those the three leaders of the Dark Rose?"

Hearing the whispers around him, Wenqi opened his eyes.

The leader of the Dark Rose? What are they doing here?
Those who sit on the ground in the square and practice in the open air are basically the bottom level of the Ice Abyss.

The three leaders of the Dark Rose all have a ten-star rating. They can use the snow house at will, and they can also spend their training points to ask the saint-level commander for individual lessons.

Such people appear in the square like nobles going to the slums.

"Poor bastards, get out of the way. Dark Rose has requisitioned this area!"

A mouse wearing a black adventurer's uniform and with big ears blew his beard and glared at Vinci and the others, "Get out of here! Do you want to be the enemy of Dark Rose?"

Hearing this, Wen Qi's face changed and he stepped aside obediently.

The same was true for others, they gritted their teeth secretly and dared not speak out their anger.

A large faction like the Dark Rose is not something that those of them at the lower light level can afford to offend.

Vinci retreated to the edge of the training square and looked from afar. He saw the mouse flatteringly bringing a chair and inviting the leader of the Dark Rose to sit down.

Oren, Alexander, and Mi San, three well-known figures in the Ice Abyss, were all present.

Wen Qi was shocked, it seemed like something big was going to happen.

Rumble. Accompanied by a vibration sound, a water mage from the Dark Rose chanted a spell, and a square ice and snow platform solidified in the middle of the square.

Not long after, a purple-haired woman with a leather jacket, slim waist and perky butt came to the square.

She took a document from Mouse, glanced at it, and nodded slightly.

"That's Lady McCarty, who was promoted to the commander-level last month! She's here, probably as a notary, right?"

An elf with blonde pigtails and pointy ears said, "I see. It must be a joint bet between Dark Rose and White Dove. Lord McCarty is responsible for supervising the execution!"

Wen Qi blinked his eyes: "What's going on? It feels like everyone knows about this?"

After asking, I learned that Dark Rose and White Dove jointly bet on 3 A-level training rooms and 3 points.

Wen Qi was amazed when he heard this. To get 3 points, one would have to complete so many missions to defeat wild monsters to get them.

For ordinary Light Rank players like them, in addition to the fixed points issued every month, they can only obtain points by completing tasks. The most common ones are to defeat monsters or go to the deepest part of the Ice Abyss to mine.

At most, Wenqi earns 100 points a month, and it takes about 30 years to get 3 points. And those who fail to graduate in three years will be kicked out of Bingyuan. For most people, 3 points is a number that only appears in dreams.

Someone whispered, "That arrogant rat seems to be Shuli. Isn't he a loyal lickspittle of Leader Leah? How did he join the Dark Rose?"

"I think they've rebelled. The smart people have long since left the White Dove Alliance. It's obvious that they can't win."

"Look! Here come three more commanders."

Everyone was shocked and confused.

In ordinary factional fights, one commander-level supervisor is enough, so why are there so many people today?
Following Commander McCarty, a white-robed wizard from the elven tribe arrived.

A swordsman with golden middle-length hair and a stern face.

and a muscular dwarf with a brown beard.

Four commanders in total!

at the same time.

Near the entrance to the Ice Abyss, in a large blue tent.

The man with long emerald green hair and silver-rimmed glasses raised his lips.

Although he was in a big tent, he could see everything that was happening in the square.

One of the leaders of Bingyuan, [Breeze] Angel who masters the law of wind.

Wherever the wind is, there are his eyes and ears.

"The Law of Sparks versus the Law of the Dragon, will the sword slay the dragon, or will it be devoured by the dragon?"

Angel thought with interest.

Both Leah and Oren were adventurers that he was quite optimistic about.

Excellent students will naturally receive extra attention.

Angel walked to the door of the big tent, opened the curtain and breathed in fresh air.

Suddenly, he froze and his expression became strange.

"On the first day of entering Bingyuan, he attacked the President, and on the second day, he challenged the strongest faction among the second-level students. Hehe, Lord Lengyue, you took in an incredible little fellow."

Angel put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sea of ​​clouds in the blue sky.

But then a strong wind blew, and the sea of ​​clouds rolled, as if a sharp blade had cut the dragon-shaped sea of ​​clouds apart!

The square was unusually quiet.

A group of people came from the south, led by a black-haired man, followed by the three leaders of the White Dove Alliance.

More than fifty members marched towards the platform in the middle in a mighty procession.

Everyone hurriedly got out of the way.

The White Dove Alliance is only a medium-sized faction, but it is not something that an ordinary light-level person can offend.

"Why are the three leaders of the White Dove Alliance all wrapped in bandages? Are they injured?"

"Who is that man? Shouldn't the one in the front be the leader of the faction?"

"I haven't seen him."

Looking at the group of Bai Ge Lian, everyone was talking about it. After discussing it for a while, they found that no one knew the man with black hair, black eyes and bronze skin.

"I know him."

Wenqi pointed at Linda with a surprised look.

"Who is that person? What is his relationship with Leah from the White Dove Alliance? Tell me quickly."

Everyone's eyes were filled with gossip.

Leah's pride is well-known in Bingyuan. It is hard to imagine that she would give up the opportunity to be in the front to others.

Wen Qi: "That man is a star rank from Baige City. Two years ago, I fought against the cultists with him."

After arriving at Bingyuan, Wenqi turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, and therefore was not aware of the changes in the outside world.

Furthermore, the Law of the Cold Moon in the Ice Abyss will affect the adventurer's perception. Unless they are at a very close distance or their level is much higher, they will not be able to sense the other party's magical aura.

In Wen Qi's eyes, Lin Da was able to enter Bingyuan probably because of Dean Bai Luo's relationship.

"I see."

Everyone suddenly realized.

He only reached the star level the year before last, so how strong can he be this year?

The pigtailed elf said: "This still doesn't explain why he is walking at the front of the White Dove Alliance. Why did Leah give him the 'C position'? How can a leader walk behind the members?"

Wen Qi shook his head: "I don't know about that. Maybe there is some kind of relationship between the two of them."

"Hmph, no matter who steps forward from the White Dove Alliance, they'll lose anyway, so why not push a newcomer out to be the scapegoat?" A sneer rang out from the crowd.

The Pigtail Elf and the others thought about it and nodded secretly, thinking that this statement made the most sense.

It’s no big deal if the leader loses, but it’s troublesome if he gets seriously injured. It’s easy for someone to take advantage of the situation and snatch away his training bracelet.

Wenqi hesitated whether to go and remind Linda.

The three leaders of the Dark Rose were not easy to deal with. Once they got on the stage, they didn't even have the chance to shout out their surrender.

But he hesitated for a long time and ultimately failed to take a step forward.

Reminding Linda might offend both factions.

His relationship with Linda was not even that of friends, so it was not worth taking such a big risk.

"Oh, I'll just have to hope for the best." Wen Qi sighed. He couldn't take care of himself, so how could he have the energy to save others?

Right in front of the square, several commanders were chatting.

"McCarty, do you know that newcomer?" The male elf, dressed in aristocratic formal attire and with an elegant temperament, asked curiously.

McCarty had been staring at the black-haired male since a while ago.

"Well, I guess so. I've met him a few times." McCarty said with a complicated look in his eyes.

She originally thought that Linda was arrogant for rejecting Leng Yuegong's contract invitation twice.

Now it seems that the other party does have the confidence to refuse.

Even without relying on the resources in the Ice Abyss, they were still able to keep up with Wo Gang and the others during this year.

Or even quite the opposite!

McCarty wanted to tie up Linda and throw her into a small room for interrogation.

In the square, many eyes with different thoughts fell on Linda.

Linda remained calm and led the White Dove Alliance's men straight to the center of the square.

He looked at the dozens of people across from the one-meter-high ice and snow arena.

"Is it you?" A surprised voice sounded.

"Yes, it's me."

Linda replied calmly.

He had met the three people opposite yesterday.

"Never mind, it's all the same. But I'll say this."

Sitting on the chair, the silver-haired man with scars all over his face crossed his hands and said calmly:
"As long as you are willing to join the Dark Rose, my previous promise will still be valid. I will soon leave Bingyuan for personal reasons. When the time comes, you will take over the position of leader of the Dark Rose."

As soon as these words were spoken, Misan and Alexander's expressions changed immediately.

Give the position of leader to an outsider?
Oren is too optimistic about this guy!
There was an uproar in the square.

The pigtailed elf was puzzled: "Oren ranked first in all the four quarters of the assessment last year. Even the demon [Blue Silver Vine] ranked 30th on the Light List died in his hands. He is undoubtedly the number one second-level student. Is that newcomer worthy of his attention?"

Even when Wogang and Romanli were defeated by Oren, Oren only invited them to join and never promised them the position of leader.

In other words, Linda’s importance in Oren’s heart exceeds that of the previous two!

Everyone was moved for Linda.

The olive branch that Oren extended was so tempting.

If you join, you can instantly become the second-in-command of Dark Rose.

This is pie in the sky.

The square was silent, but everyone's heart was restless, wondering what choice the newcomer would make.

Oren looked indifferent, teasing the dragon totem on his shoulder, quietly waiting for Linda's answer.

Linda closed her eyes and thought for a while.

Just as Oren admired him, he actually admired Oren too. If such a man who was calm and broad-minded could become a companion, he would definitely be a great help on the adventure.

It was for this reason that Oren was chosen by the Dragon's Tomb and entered the Ice Abyss with some purpose.

On the other hand, joining the Dark Rose would facilitate his investigation.

However, Linda shook her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, my friends are injured. Your people did it."

Misan and Alexander's expressions became increasingly ugly.

"You have no evidence." Mi San gritted his teeth.

"No need for evidence, it's enough that I think it was you who did it." Linda said expressionlessly.

Oren nodded. "Indeed, no evidence is needed. But these two have followed me for more than ten years and come from the same hometown. I can't abandon them easily, so I'm sorry."

The negotiations broke down instantly.

"There's no point in talking, just use your fists to solve it."

Linda didn't expect Oren to hand over anyone, so he bent his knees slightly, exerted a little force, and jumped onto the ice and snow platform.

As he looked around, he spotted a striking figure.

A mouse hiding behind Alexander.

No wonder I wasn't there during roll call this morning. Turns out he was here.

Linda pointed at Shuli and said, "If I win, can you give him to me?"

Oren said nonchalantly, "Whatever, you can take it away whether you win or lose."

"Thanks."

Linda said sincerely.

Shu Li was a little confused.

I am the number one genius in the Flower Rat Tribe. In the eyes of these two people, how come I am just like the leftover cabbages from a street stall, whoever wants it can take it?

The abominable Linda stood on the ice and snow platform, slowly took out a purple sword, chanted a spell, put on a green shield, and said:

"The match is best of three, right? But in my opinion, it's not necessary."

"Do you want to change the method of the competition?" Oren held his chin and opened a picture book to show the dragon on his shoulder.

"No, I mean, that would be too much trouble."

Linda shook her head: "You can send two people to fight together. As long as I win, it will be a 'two wins'."

After a pause, he looked straight at Oren and said in a firm and slow tone: "One game will decide the outcome." (End of this chapter)
