Chapter 136 The Strongest Summoner in Wangyue City (10K, Please Subscribe)
Sometimes, many things that you think are far away from you are actually always around you, coexisting with you.

For example—a mouse!

After leaving the Mercenary Guild and preparing to help Cao Renjie obtain the hidden class change quest, Lin Hanchuan began to pay attention to his surroundings.

I really don't pay much attention to it normally, and I don't think there are many mice around me.

But when you look closely...

Even in broad daylight, rats can be seen crossing the streets of the city.

Rats can be seen everywhere – in corners, crevices, and deserted alleys.

[Hungry Rat]

Level: 1

Rank: Ordinary

Blood volume: 20
Attack: 1-5
Note: Rats are the most common type of rat in cities. They are extremely resilient and can survive for ten days to half a month without food. They easily carry bacteria and viruses, so please keep your distance.

They are all first-class rats.

Cao Renjie's kill count for solo missions must be achieved by himself.

Lin Hanchuan and the others could only lend a hand from the sidelines.

Set up a control system and look for rats or something.

However, they killed 10,000 in three days.

It's not a simple matter either.

This was no easy task for Cao Renjie, who was a tank commander.

He is not Lin Hanchuan, and he does not have any ranged skills with no cooldown. If he were to use only the equipment he has to kill rats, it would take him a very long time to kill them one by one.

It's really not certain that you can kill 1 in three days!
"Let's go browse the shops in Wangyue City!" Lin Hanchuan said. "Let's buy some traps and bait."

For killing numerous, low-level, and scattered wild monsters like rats, setting traps and bait is the most convenient method.

Hunters can set traps by hand, and they even have trap-related skills, while other players need a complete trap set to set it.

If Cao Renjie sets a trap himself that kills a rat, the final kill will be attributed to him.

Wangyue City is very large.

There were pharmacies, weapon shops, general stores, and so on everywhere.

There is a general store diagonally opposite the Mercenary Guild.

General stores aren't as specialized as weapon shops or pharmacy stores, selling everything.

When Lin Hanchuan and his group walked in, there weren't many players in the store, and most of them just glanced at the items and left.

The boss was a middle-aged man with a big belly, a square face, and a single eyebrow. When he saw Lin Hanchuan and his group come in, he immediately went up to them warmly.

"Welcome! How can I help you?"

There have indeed been more foreigners in Wangyue City lately.

My shop is located diagonally opposite the Mercenary Guild, so the customer traffic has increased significantly.

Although most people just look and don't buy, some even want to get it for free.

But in the last two days, the store's revenue has been equivalent to several months' worth.

"Are there any traps, the kind specifically for catching rats?" Lin Hanchuan's gaze swept over the shop. The shop was quite large, at least 500 square meters, but the layout was not neat. The goods for sale were not arranged in detail by category. On the same shelf, all kinds of items were displayed—potions, gems, daggers, and so on.

Such shelves are found everywhere in grocery stores.

Finding a trap to catch mice among so many products is a time-consuming and laborious task.

It's better to just ask the boss.

"Yes, yes!" Durut nodded quickly. There had been quite a few foreigners buying traps these past two days, so he had specially prepared several types of traps under his counter.

Both of them are!

As they were talking, Durut pulled out two traps from under the counter.

One is a trap, a common mousetrap in real life.

Mousetrap

Quality: Level 1 Black Iron +1
A trap specifically designed to catch low-level wild monsters like rats.

Status: 2/10 (Number of uses / Total number of uses available)
Usage requirements: None.

One is a cage, which is also a common rat trap in reality.

Mousetrap

Quality: Level 1 Black Iron +2
A trap specifically designed to catch low-level wild monsters like rats.

Status: 1/100!

Usage requirements: None!

Lin Hanchuan glanced at the two items that Duluth had taken out, then looked up at him and asked.

"Are there any other traps? This time we're going to catch a large number of rats."

Mouse traps and mouse cages are both effective tools for catching mice, but they can only catch a very small number of mice each time.

Now, besides Cao Renjie's 10,000 followers, there are also Long Xiaochen's 10,000 followers.

There are 20,000 rats; just setting up these traps would take more than three days.

"Large-scale capture?" Durut seized on Lin Hanchuan's key phrase and asked curiously, "How much do you mean by 'large-scale'?"

“Tens of thousands!” Lin Hanchuan replied.

"We just arrived in this city and saw that the rat infestation is serious. We want to do our part to help this city by killing the rats."

"Are you serious?" Dulut looked at Lin Hanchuan suspiciously. The rat infestation in Wangyue City was indeed very serious. Even in his own general store, he would often see groups of rats jumping around.

But in this city, no one has ever suggested taking the initiative to clean up the rat infestation.

Lin Hanchuan and his group were the first batch.

"Of course I'm serious!" Lin Hanchuan nodded firmly. Sometimes, praising yourself in front of NPCs is a way to gain their favor.

After winning someone's favor, you can often obtain some unexpected information or hidden missions.

Duluth glanced at Lin Hanchuan, then at the people behind him, took a large bundle of scrolls from the shelf, stacked them on the counter, and said, "These are trap scrolls. Each one can release 10 traps with an area of ​​about 20 square meters. The traps don't do much damage, but they're the easiest way to kill rats."

"Since you're here to rid the city of rats, I'll give you a 20% discount on these trap scrolls!"

"Originally 20 gold coins, now only 16 gold coins!"

"You can check the quality of the trap scroll!"

After saying that, Duluth handed the trap scroll directly to Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan checked the information through the system.

Arcane Missile Trap Scroll

Quality: One star (lowest)

After use, a 20-square-meter trap can be set. Targets that enter the trap will be attacked by arcane missiles with an attack power of 10 to 30. The same target can be hit by a maximum of two arcane missiles. A trap can release a maximum of 1000 arcane missiles.

Trap duration: 8 hours
Uses: 10 times

Usage requirements: None!

This scroll is indeed suitable for Cao Renjie.

"How many?" Lin Hanchuan asked directly.

"There are 30 in total!"

"Deal!" Lin Hanchuan paid 480 gold coins on the spot.

After Lin Hanchuan handed all the scrolls to Cao Renjie to put away, Dulut took out a bag of pale green food that smelled somewhat delicious and said, "Although this city is full of rats, it will still be difficult to kill more than 10,000 rats in a limited time using only these trap scrolls."

"This is bait laced with poison. I made it myself, and it's incredibly tempting to rats. I used it to kill all the rats in my shop."

"You can use it in conjunction with a trap, or you can place it alone in some dark corners and wait for the rats to eat it."

Each bag weighs at least 80 pounds!
Lin Hanchuan asked, "How much?"

“No money needed!” Durut shook his head. “This is my personal sponsorship. By the way, are you familiar with the urban layout of Wangyue City? Do you know where there are a lot of rats?”

When an NPC asks you a question.

Nine times out of ten, there's additional information or some task to be assigned to you.

Lin Hanchuan immediately shook his head and followed Durut's lead, saying, "This is also our first time in this city, and we are not familiar with many places."

"We're also thinking of finding a local who's familiar with Wangyue City to tell us which area has the most rats."

"Then you've come to the right person this time!" Trudeau seemed to have been waiting for Lin Hanchuan to say this, and said with a smile, "Do you know Angel Street in the West Third District?"

Ok?
Lin Hanchuan looked at Durut with a puzzled expression.

He did the job change quest on Angel Street.

But Lin Hanchuan didn't say anything, waiting for Durut to continue.

"Three months ago, a great battle broke out there. You could hear the noise from several blocks away. I don't know who exactly started it, but the strongest summoner in Wangyue City died in that battle."

"Later, the residents living there began to die mysteriously one after another. This morning, a friend of mine who lives near Angel Street came to visit me. He said that Angel Street is now deserted and has become a paradise for rats."

"Sometimes, you can open the door of any house and see it teeming with rats."

“If you want to kill rats, I think Angel Street is a very good place.”

"Thank you!" Lin Hanchuan said gratefully. "Your suggestion was a great help to us!"

"It's nothing!" Durut said nonchalantly.

Leave the grocery store.

The Heavenly Path Team headed straight to Angel Street.

West Third District, Angel Street.

Lin Hanchuan stood at the crossroads, looking at the main street ahead.

The last time I came, it was at night.

The light was dim; with the help of the moonlight, only the outline of Angel Street could be seen, but not a single mouse was spotted.

But this time, Lin Hanchuan looked around.

Even in broad daylight, the rats on the streets roam in dense swarms, larger than those seen elsewhere, and some even have fur that reflects the sunlight with a sharp, needle-like texture.

Similarly, their information has also changed.

[Hungry Rat]

Level: 1

Rank: Common Mutation

Blood volume: 50
Attack: 5-20
Note: The most common rat in the city has an extremely strong survival ability. It can survive for ten days or half a month without food. Please note that it seems to have undergone some kind of mutation, and some of its abilities have been enhanced!
"So many mutated rats?" Long Xiaochen exclaimed in surprise after seeing the rat information. "This Angel Street is a bit special!"

Lin Hanchuan nodded, looking at the rats with a puzzled expression.

Mutation, in a sense, is also a form of evolution, which can grant monsters some additional abilities.

Mutation is very rare for wild monsters.

Generally, out of dozens or hundreds, only one will occasionally mutate.

But in places like Angel Street, where mutated rats are everywhere, Lin Hanchuan had never seen anything like it before.

"Something's not right on Angel Street!" Lin Hanchuan said softly.

This place used to be the home of a demon walker who controlled parasites and turned almost all the residents into puppets.

The Demon Walker is a type of demon in the Abyss who enjoys conducting research. This is evident from the fact that he killed an entire street of NPCs on Angel Street and then used parasitic demons to turn them into puppets.

After Maurice killed him.

Lin Hanchuan had never explored Angel Street.

Perhaps some players came here later.

However, seeing these level-one rats everywhere, I probably lost all interest.

Level 1 rats don't give much experience, and the only useful drops are currency. Right now is the time to level up and increase combat power. Killing a level 10 or so wild monster outside the city is equivalent to killing hundreds of rats here.

As for mutations...

Lin Hanchuan suspected that it had just happened today.

Otherwise, this place would be full of players.

After all, any player would immediately sense something was wrong upon seeing so many mutated rats.

Lin Hanchuan pondered for a moment, and only after Xingchen gave each of them a soul perception did he allow Cao Renjie to act.

"Kill the rats first, and we'll deal with whatever happens next!"

Looking at the densely packed rats on the street.

Lin Hanchuan knew that there were at least 30,000 to 40,000 rats in Angel Street!
“Okay!” Cao Renjie nodded immediately, took out the scroll from his backpack and got to work.

Squeak! !

As soon as they entered Angel Street, the rats on the street did not scatter and flee. Instead, they immediately banded together, baring their teeth and glaring fiercely at Lin Hanchuan and his companions.

A few of the bolder ones even rushed forward.

"These rats actually have a sense of territory!" Long Xiaochen was a little surprised. "Old Cao, hurry up, otherwise I'll just summon the Queen Insect King and use the Earth Centipede to wipe out all these rats."

Long Xiaochen also has the task of killing 10,000 rats.

But he was in no hurry.

Unlike Cao Renjie, who possesses the Mother Insect King summoning skill, he can use the Earth Centipede to kill rats, and his efficiency is even higher than Lin Hanchuan's.

Cao Renjie did not respond, but as soon as he opened the scroll in his hand, a transparent arcane trap net appeared, covering the area in front of him.

The moment the trap net hit the ground, it vanished without a sound.

When those rats, fearless of death, rush forward and enter the trap net...

call out! !

Phew! !
Several arcane missiles that shot out from the ground pierced through their bodies, draining their health and turning them into corpses.

Cao Renjie also received the notification sound immediately that the rats had been killed, and a total of 16 rats were killed.

"Sprinkle some bait on top!" Long Xiaochen reminded.

Cao Renjie readily agreed, took out his bag, grabbed a handful of bright green bait, and scattered it into the trap.

Cao Renjie walked away.

The rats that smelled the odor immediately swarmed over, forming a dark, dense swarm.

“Ding ding ding!!”

The system notification sounds kept ringing in Cao Renjie's mind.

The arcane missiles in the first trap were quickly used up, and with the addition of poison, thousands of rats were killed, and the ground was covered with several layers of poison.

The rats died in various ways, which was quite unsettling.

However, Lin Hanchuan and the others were not surprised at all.

Cao Renjie didn't even express any opinion. Like a ruthless rat hunter, he set up an arcane missile trap every thirty meters on Angel Street, scattering bait inside each trap.

Ding ding ding! !

The system notifications of killing rats kept ringing in Cao Renjie's mind.

Less than half an hour later, Cao Renjie said to Lin Hanchuan, "Boss, the killing of 10,000 rats has been completed."

It was much faster than expected.

The rat carcasses scattered all over the streets began to slowly disappear, turning into mosaic-like patches.

"It's my turn, it's my turn!" Long Xiaochen hurriedly summoned the level 19 Queen Insect.

The first thing the Queen Insect Queen did upon appearing was to begin mass-producing centipedes.

One by one, centipedes crawled out of the mother insect queen's chest cavity and, under Long Xiaochen's command, quickly dispersed in all directions.

Cao Renjie had killed most of the rats on the street, leaving only the rats inside the houses on both sides of the street that had not yet been cleared out.

The level 9 centipede smashed open the door with its body and rushed in, killing it just as quickly as Cao Renjie's trap.

Ding ding ding! !

Long Xiaochen was enjoying the system notification sound.

A loud explosion suddenly came from a house in the middle of the back section of Angel Street.

boom! !

The centipede that had just rushed in instantly turned into a spray of blood.

Roar! !

Then came a furious roar from inside.

"Something's definitely up!"

Lin Hanchuan, who had been waiting at the entrance to Angel Street, immediately strode over.

Long Xiaochen also began to command the nearby centipedes to rush towards the house.

The centipede was instantly killed.

This suggests that the guy making the roar must be quite powerful.

"Hmm?" Cao Renjie looked at the house with a puzzled expression. He had passed by there when he was setting up the trap.

Soul perception is also activated.

But they didn't notice anything else besides the densely packed rats inside.

That guy's appearance was so abrupt!

boom! !

Another centipede rushed in.

In an instant, it turned into a shower of blood.

The level 9 centipede seemed to have no ability to resist at all in the opponent's hands.

Cao Renjie, who was closest, was the first to arrive. Standing on the street, he looked inside, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He then said to Lin Hanchuan, who had just arrived.

"Captain, something's strange about this house!"

"In my spiritual perception, there is nothing suspicious in this house except for rats."

boom! !

Just then, another centipede that had just entered and whose body had just disappeared into the darkness was smashed into a rain of blood.

It poured out from inside in a flurry.

Lin Hanchuan stared at the house, which was indeed pitch black inside. He couldn't see anything. With his soul perception, it was just as Cao Renjie had said: there were only rats and nothing else.

Seeing the centipedes around him continuing to rush in under Long Xiaochen's orders, Lin Hanchuan immediately said to Long Xiaochen.

"Don't let the centipede go in again!"

"Okay, Captain!"

Long Xiaochen immediately made the centipede stop.

However, although they were not allowed to go back inside, they were instead dispersed around the house.

Angel Street is a poor area where people live, and the houses are of very poor quality. Long Xiaochen could have the centipede bulldoze it all.

Standing at the door.

Lin Hanchuan waited for a while, and after hearing no further sound,

He cast a light spell directly inside.

The moment the Light spell landed, it instantly dispelled the darkness in the house, but the Light spell only lasted for three seconds.

Clearly, there is something inside the house that can limit the duration of the light spell.

But in those three seconds, what Lin Hanchuan saw standing outside the door startled him. Inside the room, there was a transparent barrier, and behind the barrier stood a disheveled, ferocious-looking elven woman.

At least from appearances, the other party is an elf!
The elf held an old man tightly in his arms. The old man had no pupils and two lines of bloody tears streamed down his face as he stared intently at the intruder outside the door.

Its exposed skin was covered with dense black lines, from which thick black mist emanated.

Lin Hanchuan had seen those patterns several times in the abyss in his previous life, and they left a deep impression on him.

The Demon Walker's signature move—the Puppet Spell!

Those afflicted by this curse will enter a state of near-death and will be completely obedient to the demon walker's commands.

Even if the Demon Walker is dead.

The puppet curse will not be lifted.

In his previous life, Lin Hanchuan's companions had passed away.

With no way to resolve the situation, after killing the Demon Walker, the only solution was to intentionally commit suicide to lose a level.

But what's with this elf?

Why was she holding an old man's corpse, weeping uncontrollably?
After being afflicted by the Puppet Curse, don't they lose all their emotions?

Lin Hanchuan noticed the other party at the same time.

The other person had obviously seen him too.

However, there was no proactive attack.

Lin Hanchuan frowned.

still have a question.

The Puppet Curse does release a black mist that obscures light, but it cannot cause mutations in creatures like rats, nor can it block the perception of the soul.

But just now I clearly saw an ordinary mouse, but as soon as it got close to the elf, its body underwent a very obvious mutation.

"Boss, this is strange!" Cao Renjie also saw it and said with a puzzled look, "The elf is holding the old man's body and crying blood?"

"Are we about to accidentally trigger a hidden quest?"

"No!" Lin Hanchuan shook his head, recalling the mercenary guild leader's face. "I feel like we've been tricked by the mercenary guild leader!"

"He tricked me?" Cao Renjie's mind was still a bit foggy; he felt that the mercenary guild leader was a pretty good person.

"Both you and Long Xiaochen are tasked with catching rats!" Lin Hanchuan said slowly, "and both of you are tasked with catching 10,000 rats. Don't you think the tasks are repetitive?"

"Normally, how could an NPC give the same quest to two players in a row!"

Cao Renjie seemed to understand something. He nodded at first, then immediately shook his head and said, "That's not right! My mission rewards are different from Long Xiaochen's!"

"Mine is a hidden class!"

"His mission was just a regular D-rank mission!"

Lin Hanchuan looked at the dark houses ahead and said, "You're wrong, the reward is the same!"

"Your quest involves a hidden job advancement!"

"Long Xiaochen's is one too!"

"Huh?! What the hell?!" Cao Renjie was dumbfounded.

He remembered that when the Mercenary Guild leader issued the mission to Long Xiaochen, he was standing right next to him!

I could hear every single word clearly.

Lin Hanchuan acted as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

"Do you remember what the grocer said?"

Before Cao Renjie could answer, Lin Hanchuan answered his own question, "He said that a fierce battle took place here three months ago, and the strongest summoner in Wangyue City died here!"

"I suspect that the old man lying dead on the floor inside the house was the summoner, and the elf was his contracted pet."

Cao Renjie asked, "Since the summoners are all dead, shouldn't the pets also disappear?"

Summoners primarily summon pets using summoning skills.

Normally, the summoner dies.

The summoned pets will also disappear automatically.

It's somewhat similar to a slave contract.

Lin Hanchuan sighed and replied, "What if it's an equal contract?"

"That elf is most likely the other party's equal contract pet."

Lin Hanchuan paused at this point.

Looking at the stars following beside me.

There are still some things I can't say.

Whether it's a player or an NPC in the game, if they are willing to actively sign an equal contract with other creatures, the bond between them will often surpass any slave contract.

Emotion is the best bond between you and your pet.

Cao Renjie: "How confident are you?"

"Over ninety!" Lin Hanchuan replied. "The mercenary guild leader sent the two of you to kill rats, which adds up to 20,000. Normally, anyone with a brain would try their best to find the place with the most rats in Wangyue City to farm them after receiving the mission!"

"If we keep searching, we'll eventually come to Angel Street."

"Don't forget, he's the president of the Mercenary Guild. It's perfectly normal for him to arrange for some NPCs to give us directions and coordinate our actions."

"However, if Long Xiaochen wants to obtain the hidden class of Summoner, the key point most likely lies with that elf."

Cao Renjie was a little confused. He admitted that Lin Hanchuan was very smart, but when did he become so smart? They were clearly at the same point of intersection of knowledge, so how did he arrive at so many inferences?

At this moment, Long Xiaochen walked up, looked at the dark house, and asked directly.

What's the situation here now?

"Is there some kind of demon lurking inside?"

Cao Renjie replied with a smile, "There are no demons, only opportunities!"

"Little Dragon, your chance has come!"

"What the hell?" Long Xiaochen didn't understand.

After Cao Renjie repeated what Lin Hanchuan had just said, Long Xiaochen's eyes widened immediately upon hearing that he might obtain the hidden Summoner class, and he stared intently into the screen.

"Captain, should I go in and take a look?"

Long Xiaochen was getting impatient.

Lin Hanchuan already has a hidden profession.

Cao Renjie is about to receive it.

Although Long Xiaochen didn't say anything, he was very envious and wondered when he would be able to have a hidden profession.

Now the opportunity is coming!

Thank you to the Mercenary Guild Master and the General Store Owner.

You are the most adorable people in the world!

I am most grateful to the captain. If he hadn't stopped me from acting impulsively at the crucial moment, the houses in front of me would have been ruins by now.

At that point, let alone a hidden profession.

Even leaving alive is a problem.

It's important to know that inside is an elf pet that has signed an equal contract with the strongest summoner in Wangyue City.

"No rush! Let's take another look!" Lin Hanchuan shook his head and then cast another light spell inside.

This time, throw it in a different spot.

The light spell granted Lin Hanchuan three seconds of vision, allowing him to clearly see a painting hanging on the wall. The painting seemed to be enchanted by some kind of magic, making it impossible for mice to touch it.

On the painting.

A handsome human young man and a beautiful elf girl stood side by side.

Both of them looked very reserved, with faint smiles on their faces.

But their hands were clasped tightly together.

The nature of their relationship is self-evident.

But Lin Hanchuan wasn't in a hurry. He cast several more light spells into various corners of the room, and the furnishings inside were clearly displayed in Lin Hanchuan's pupils.

The room was simply furnished.

It's comparable to Maurice's house.

A wooden bed, now infested with rats.

There were several stools, all covered with rats.

There was also a dressing table, and next to the broken mirror, there was a makeup box.

In the innermost corner, there was a table with a wooden box on it. The box emitted a pale purple light, but it was swallowed by the darkness and could not be seen from the outside.

"The hidden class legacy left behind by the strongest summoner in Wangyue City must be in that box!" Long Xiaochen said with some certainty.

“However, you won’t be able to pass the elf level.” Lin Hanchuan shook his head, telling Long Xiaochen not to be impulsive. “Don’t rush, take it one step at a time!”

"Since the Mercenary Guild led us here, it means they are quite confident that you can gain the elf's approval and obtain the hidden profession left by her husband."

"Then what should we do?" Long Xiaochen asked hurriedly.

Long Xiaochen wasn't stupid; it's just that back in Zone 1, Lin Hanchuan was always the brain of the team. Whenever there was a problem, everyone would habitually ask Lin Hanchuan instead of thinking it through themselves.

"I'll give it a try!" Lin Hanchuan thought of the Mercenary Guild leader's excitement when he saw him.

It is very likely that this excitement was one of the reasons why Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen were given their subsequent hidden professions.

Moreover, he knew far more inside information than Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen.

More importantly, the female elf did not show any intention to attack him. As long as he did not actively step into the barrier, he should be fine.

"call!!"

Take a deep breath.

Lin Hanchuan arrived at the door, cast a light spell inside, and after confirming that the elf was still watching him, he said, "Hello! I am a student of Professor Morris. My name is Arakawa Shiro. I inherited my teacher's profession and am now a Berserker Archmage!"

Morris is the strongest mage in Moongazing City.

He should have a good relationship with this strongest summoner in Wangyue City, or at least be acquaintances.

Lin Hanchuan wanted to try and see if he could use this as a breakthrough point.

The female elf's facial expression shifted slightly, at least making her look less ferocious.

This explanation is useful.

Lin Hanchuan continued, "This is my second time in Angel Street. The first time was just two nights ago. I was ordered by Professor Morris to come here to investigate the disappearances and deaths of residents of Angel Street, and that's when I discovered the Demon Walker."

"Your puppet curse was also cast by the Demon Walker, wasn't it?"

Lin Hanchuan paused deliberately.

Seeing the female elf look down at the spell patterns on her arm, and confirming that she was listening to him and possessed her own emotions and thoughts, he continued.

"But don't worry, the Demon Walker has already been killed by my teacher! In addition to the Demon Walker, the Earth Devourer and the Bone Demon that invaded this city have also been killed by my teacher."

"And now, as his successor, I will take over Professor Maurice's responsibility and continue to avenge the dead and the demons hiding in this city!"

He tossed in the Light spells one by one, watching the female elf's gradually moved expression, which showed that his words had resonated with her.

Lin Hanchuan immediately increased the dosage of the medicine.

"Professor Morris said that I am the strongest genius since the birth of the Berserker Archmage profession, and that I will become a god in the future."

"Of course! That's what I think too."

"Moreover, within three years! I will turn all the demons in Wangyue City to ashes!"

Under the watchful gaze of the female elf.

Lin Hanchuan slowly shifted his gaze to the old man's corpse in his arms and said in a deep voice.

"Unfortunately, I think three years is still too long. Letting these demons live here for even a day is a punishment for the dead humans. If I could have teammates as powerful as me, I should be able to shorten the time to one year!"

This time.

The female elf's pupils no longer flowed with blood and tears, but instead held a direct gaze into Lin Hanchuan's very soul.

Lin Hanchuan remained calm.

Three years is such a long time?
How is that possible!

Lin Hanchuan felt that a year was too long; he wanted to take down these demons within six months!

Even those level 100 and above can be slashed!

Under the elf's deep gaze, Lin Hanchuan continued, "We were sent here by the Mercenary Guild leader to clear the rat infestation, but he has promised to pass on his profession to this young man beside me."

Lin Hanchuan pointed at Cao Renjie.

said loudly.

"He is exceptionally talented and will reach the pinnacle of his career, just like me, becoming the strongest tank on this continent."

Cao Renjie wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Boss, you've overdone it!

Lin Hanchuan then pointed at Long Xiaochen.

"Furthermore, the man beside me is highly regarded by both Teacher Morris and Guild Master Gan Luo of the Mercenary Guild for his talent as a summoner. They both believe that he is the only candidate to inherit the title of the strongest summoner in Moon Gazing City!"

Long Xiaochen stood tall and proud.

Extremely confident!

team leader!

Say!
Please say a few more words!

I, Long Xiaochen, can handle it!
“If your husband’s profession is passed down to him, I guarantee, in the name of Professor Morris and President Gan Luo, that he will become the strongest summoner on this continent in the future, without exception!”

Long Xiaochen looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Tears were welling up in my eyes.

It surprised me that.

I was surprised to find that my potential was so great in the captain's eyes!
I, Long Xiaochen, will dedicate my life to carrying the captain's banner!
"The above is a statement from Chairman Gan Luo!"

"I'm just relaying the message!"

After Lin Hanchuan finished speaking, he looked at the female elf.

The female elf gazed at Long Xiaochen.

Long Xiaochen looked confident and high-spirited!

After a while.

The female elf then looked down at her husband in her arms.

Ho ho ho! !

Meaningless roars came from his throat.

Long Xiaochen looked at Lin Hanchuan with suspicion.

Lin Hanchuan gently pressed his hand down, signaling him to wait.

About a minute later.

The female elf looked at the box on the table in the corner.

He raised his hand slightly.

The box then floated up and drifted straight out, finally landing in Long Xiaochen's hand.

"Ho ho ho!!"

The female elf roared at Long Xiaochen this time.

at the same time.

The system notification sound rang in Long Xiaochen's mind.

"Ding! Please note that you have gained Aisha's approval, and she is willing to pass on her husband's hidden profession to you!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained the hidden Summoner class—Lord of the Spirits!"

"Simultaneously unlock the hidden quest – [Elsa's Expectations]"

Elsa's Expectations

Difficulty: Rank A Hidden Mission

If you and your companions can kill or drive away all the demons in Moongazing City within a year, you will receive a reward from Aisha.

Reward: Determined based on your final task completion rate.

Failure penalty: Loss of hidden class

……

……

Mercenary Guild.

“Ahhh!!”

Gan Luo, the mercenary guild leader who was chuckling strangely, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and looked down at the table.

A line of text slowly appeared above.

They have arrived at Angel Street!

"So fast!" Gan Luo exclaimed in surprise.

He knew the situation on Angel Street very well.

After the Demon Walker was killed by Maurice.

He made a special trip there twice.

I visited my old friend and his wife.

Although his wife was under the Demon Walker's puppet curse, thanks to something left behind by his old friend, she was able to retain some of her sanity and emotions.

Gan Luo attempted to take the Elf Lord's professional legacy twice.

But they held back.

Although her old friend had passed away, it was not appropriate for her to take over the matter of passing on his profession. Aisha, who still had some sense, was the perfect person to choose a suitable successor in place of her husband.

I met Long Xiaochen today, and I thought he was pretty good.

He is the most promising of all the foreigners he has seen so far.

He originally intended to arrange for a few people to guide them there gradually.

I didn't expect it to have arrived so soon.

"It seems that everything is arranged by the goddess of fate!" Gan Luo exclaimed.

"I wonder if Morris's student will be able to step up at a crucial moment."

Gan Luo thought of Lin Hanchuan.

"He's the only way to break this deadlock!"

"I can tell that he is a Berserker Archmage, so with her abilities, she can tell too."

"I hope they don't act impulsively!"

"But it should be fine. Aisha won't attack humans now, as long as they don't do anything to her husband's corpse."

Gan Luo gazed at the sky outside the window, recalling their past in his mind.

After a long while, he finally let out a soft sigh.

"Our era is over!"
