Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 11 S-level bounty pool commission!

Lingling rubbed her little face which was pinched red, came to the mirror and checked it again and again. No matter how she looked at it, her cute cheeks were pinched red.

The culprit, Lin Ling, was covering his eyes with his hands and rolling back and forth on the ground in pain.

"My eyes! My eyes!"

"I should have stuck the steel fork in there! You lolicon!"

"Hey! How dare you slander my lifelong reputation! Old man! Say something! Your granddaughter is making false accusations, and you're just standing there watching!"

Old man Bao behind the bar took a sip of tea slowly.

Let them make trouble as they please, just don't tear down the hunting lodge.

After the two who hadn't seen each other for a long time played around, Lingling took out "all the information" she had collected during this period.

"A travel magazine from the Land of the Midnight Sun?"

Lin Ling took the travel magazine handed to him by Lingling, turned to the page that Lingling had marked, and his eyes were instantly attracted by a black and white photo inside.

Although it was a little blurry, one could vaguely see a pattern similar to the "clock" that appeared in the summoning system.

"Is this all there is?"

In two months, an information guru like Lingling could only find one copy. It looked like a joke, coming from a travel magazine from ten years ago?
"It's the only one. I've searched through all the databases and even borrowed my grandfather's permission to go to the Forbidden Spell Society, but I couldn't find it. Instead, I accidentally found this in a pop-up ad."

"Is it the kind of one-hit-999-kill-me kind of thing where you come and chop me to death if you're a brother?"

Lingling said she didn't want to talk to Lin Ling, a fool, and threw a plain slipper at him.

"I've already found out where the reporter who took this photo lives. There's an S-rank bounty nearby, so I'll take care of it. I'll upgrade you to a seven-star Hunter Master."

"Sister, you sound so relaxed. That's an S-level bounty pool commission, not street food."

「S-level bounty pool commission」

Hunter's mission commissions are divided into different levels according to the difficulty coefficient.

Among them, S-level is already an extremely difficult commission, and it is almost impossible to solve it without the intervention of more than one super-level magician.

The S-level bounty pool commissions are above these. For those tasks that are difficult to solve and last longer than usual, the International Hunter Association will open a bounty pool for the commissions.

As the saying goes, when there is a lot of money, there will always be a reckless person. It is also to ensure that the commission will not fall out of sight due to time.

But no matter what, in order to complete the commission of the bounty pool, in addition to strength, intelligence is also needed, and both are indispensable.

"Do you have such faith in my ability?"

After hearing this, Lingling looked at Lin Ling as if he were a fool.

"Aren't you my partner?"

"I am your good partner for the past three years!"

"That's it, hurry up and pack your things, I've booked a flight for 5pm."

"What? It's only fifty minutes to five in the afternoon. Are you serious?"

"Otherwise, hurry up and start the car, sir. Even teleporting takes time."

Ten hours later, the two had crossed the ocean and arrived in the Kingdom of the Midnight Sun.

"Let's go, Lin Ling. The other party lives in the countryside, far from the city."

Lingling looked at the map and stepped over Lin Ling, who was lying on the ground with big words on his face.

Lin Ling was angry but dared not speak out, but this seemed to be a reward, right?
But this was too much of a disrespect for human beings. He teleported all the way, even using several super-class teleportations. Even though his magic power was several times greater than that of his peers, it was almost drained dry. After being squeezed by Lingling all the way, the energetic Lingling and the graying Lin Ling finally arrived at the rural village where the reporter who took the photo was.

“I’m burned out.”

Lin Ling sat on a chair at the bus stop at the edge of the village, slumped over with a haggard look, and one could vaguely see the soul floating out from his mouth.

"The address is nearby. Sit here and wait for me to come back. Don't run around."

Seeing Lin Ling's useless appearance, Lingling had no choice but to go find the reporter alone.

"I understand."

The scenery in the countryside is extremely peaceful and beautiful, as if time has slowed down here. The golden oilseed wheat fields raise golden waves in the west wind, the sun is sparkling, and there is no noise.

Lin Ling closed his eyes and lay paralyzed, but his perception was fully activated, locking onto Lingling at all times, just in case any danger arose and he could rush over in an instant.

But why can't they sense any other faint breath of life in this village except them?

The station's facilities are relatively new and appear to be regularly maintained, not like they have been abandoned for a long time.

There's an inexplicable sense of disharmony.
"I'm back. The reporter isn't home. He might have just left. I saw steaming food on the table through the window. Don't just lie there. We need to investigate further."

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me so strangely, as if you've just seen something incredible happen?"

Lingling didn't hear Lin Ling's response, so she looked up and found Lin Ling looking at her with confusion.

"Lingling, how long did it take you to go back and forth?"

"It's not far from the station. It only takes about ten minutes to go there and back." Lingling said while looking at her watch.

"It's been ten minutes, but only three minutes have passed for me." Lin Ling held up his phone and showed Lingling the time.

Same time zone, same date, same hour, but different!
"Time flows at different speeds?!"

Lingling instantly realized that something was wrong, but it was impossible that she had never heard of a barrier that could affect time on such a large scale.
Along the way, she saw two hotels, which meant that there were still outsiders passing through this village on a regular basis.

If this is the case, let’s not talk about whether we can still live a normal life with this time difference.

When a time-related anomaly occurs, it is impossible for the Hunter Association and the Magic Association not to release information.

This is an extremely rare phenomenon!

Those crazy people who are keen on studying magic should have gathered here like piranhas smelling blood.

"Let's act together. First, we need to understand the situation in this village."

"Ah."

This village, named "Crock Village" on the map, has a permanent population of about 300 people and is self-sufficient in agriculture and tourism.

But after they searched around, they didn't see a single person, not even a dog or a bird.

There were steaming food on the dining tables in most houses, obviously because it was dinner time, but why did all the villagers suddenly disappear?

There were no signs of demonic invasion at the entrance of the village, nor were there any signs of unrest inside.

It was as if it had been wiped out of thin air, as if the entire village was originally an empty village!
"Steaming food. Suddenly vanishing villagers. Time slip."

Lingling kept repeating these words silently. Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly opened her cell phone.

"Could it be!"
