You don't cast spells by the rules at all, do you?

"Forget Blacktown."

This is not about letting Sean and others forget on their own, but Black City helping them forget.

Next to the woman stood a male secretary, holding a transparent lab bag containing six test tubes of forgetfulness potion. Every wizard going out on a mission had to take the potion before being allowed to leave the city.

Of course, it’s not that I forgot everything, but the concept of Black City is vague.

Sean and others will still remember who to find to pick them up after completing the mission.

"Secondly," the woman continued, "no matter what happens, please put your own life and the lives of your companions first."

"We hope you can complete the mission, but we don't want you to take your life as a condition. Damn the Saint.

But you don't deserve to die. Each of you is the most valuable asset of our Black City. If things are impossible, you should retreat in time. No one will laugh at you. "

There is no penalty for failure in church missions. If you must say it, it will increase the interval time for the wizard to accept the next mission. Compared with the real punishment, this "cooling-off period" can be completely ignored.

"Third, I will give each of you a bank card later. All your expenses while you are away will be covered by Black City, but please try not to be extravagant. If I find out that you have used public funds to visit call girls multiple times, the amount exceeding the limit will be borne by you and will be deducted from the mission reward."

Call girls are a mistake most men would make. There were more men on this mission, with only one woman among six people, so she used call girls as an example.

Xiao En noticed the word "multiple times" in her mouth and asked, "Does it mean that once or twice can be reimbursed?"

Everyone: "..—

Can this be asked directly?

The woman replied expressionlessly, “Sure.

Black City does have this rule. Physiological needs are part of life issues and have a certain consumption limit.

The only girl on the team glanced at Sean and snorted, "Heh, man."

This guy looks sunny, innocent and handsome, but I didn't expect he is the same as other men.

Sean didn't care about the strange looks from his teammates. He had his reasons for asking this.

Since it was their first meeting, and he didn't want to leave a bad first impression, Sean explained, "The amount you spend on call girls doesn't necessarily have to be used to find call girls."

The man who advised Sean not to die said, "You can also use it to find gigolos, right?"

Sean: “?

Everyone:

"?"

You are even more outrageous.

"You can talk about this after you leave." The woman stopped Sean and the others from chatting and continued, "I have explained the basic requirements. Now let me tell you about this mission."

"Chen, give them the photos."

The woman instructed the secretary.

"Yes." The man nodded, took out a stack of photos from his arms and sent them to Sean and others.

The woman said: "The people in these photos are all those who have been on missions in recent years, and their routes are similar to yours.

Among those who have not returned yet is the wizard who went to assassinate the Saint before you."

It is obvious that these "predecessors" have failed, otherwise this task would not still be hanging in the church.

Failure often means death, but Black City will not give up on anyone. They will find the person alive or the body dead.

"If you have any clues about them during the mission, please inform your contact in time."

The woman said, "Also, I think you should know how difficult this mission is. Always remember that from now on, you are already a team. Discuss everything together and don't act on your own. Don't hurt others or yourself."

Hearing this, the man next to Sean finally couldn't help asking, "Ms. Laith, I want to know, in your eyes, is it really possible for us to kill the Saint?"

The woman tilted her head and looked at him: "Whether it's possible or not, you're here, aren't you?"

man:

She continued, "I don't know if it will succeed or not. This mission is not my responsibility. The only thing I can tell you is that even if you fail, you still have a chance to survive."

The wizards were right in their guess that Black City would not let its people die.

As for how not to die

Then it's all up to you.

"Finally, because your mission this time is very difficult, the official departure time is set at 9 a.m. tomorrow," the woman said, "You still have half a day to say goodbye to your family and friends and make preparations."

These words seem to imply that Sean and others are asking for their final arrangements in advance.

After saying that, the woman looked at Sean and said, "Come with me."

Sean: “Huh?”

He inexplicably felt like he was being called out by his teacher after his class teacher finished speaking when he was a student, as if he was going to be scolded.

Could it be that the incident with the call girl just now offended this female leader?

But in fact, the female leader didn't take this matter to heart at all.

She is not familiar with Sean, and even if she were, she wouldn't say much. This is a personal style issue and it is not her business.

She called Sean aside because Gomez asked her to ask Sean one more question:

"You just arrived in Black City, are you sure you want to leave?"

Normally, if you accept a mission, you have to go. The "mission mechanism" is the most important part of the entire Black City's operation so far, and it is not a joke. But since Gomez has spoken, she still has to give him face.

"If you regret it now, I can make an exception and give you another mission." The woman said, "Otherwise, with your current rank, you will almost certainly die if you try to assassinate the Saint."

To say that he "escaped a narrow escape from death" is an expression of high emotional intelligence. To put it more cruelly, for a third-level rookie like Sean, let alone assassinating the saint, he might not even be able to see the saint in person.

Sean noticed that the woman said "leave" instead of "go out", and he knew that Gomez had seen through his thoughts, but Sean was determined to leave, and he didn't belong here, so he could only smile and said, "Thank Mr. Gomez for me.

"So you still want to go?" the woman asked.

Sean nodded: "If there is a chance, I will come back."

"Okay." The woman admired Sean's courage. "I also hope to see you return safely with the head of the Saint."

She and Sean returned to the team and asked the secretary to distribute the forgetfulness potion to everyone.

This was specially formulated by the alchemists of Black City. It will take effect in 24 hours, so it is just the right time to take it now.

It was also one of her duties to personally watch wizards taking the forgetfulness potion when they went out.

But before that, due to the characteristics of the potion, Sean and others need to remember the faces in the photos first to deepen their impression, otherwise they might forget them after they go out.

Sean and others will not be allowed to take these photos away, as it would be very troublesome if they fell into the hands of the enemy.

Everyone had dozens of photos in their hands, which was not easy to remember. Fortunately, Sean had a good memory, so he just treated it as memorizing math formulas and came up with a function expression based on each person's facial features. It was quite easy to remember.

Until he saw a face that was particularly familiar to him among the unfamiliar faces. These photos were relatively old and faded. When he turned to the eleventh one, Sean's hands suddenly froze and his eyes gradually widened.

Frozen in this gray photo is his old friend.

Chris.

Chapter 116 Eleanor (Subscribe~)

Sean never expected that he would see Chris in the "new world".

Although it was in the form of a photo, it was enough to make Sean feel suspicious.

Is this Chris, the Chris he is familiar with?

The female supervisor, Leth, noticed Sean's expression and asked, "Do you know him?"

Sean nodded with a complicated expression: "He is my friend."

His mind was a little confused, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether this was the Chris in the "new world" or the Chris in the real world.

If it is the latter, how did Chris get here and leave any traces?

"So you came to Black City specifically to find him?" Laith asked.

Obviously, the female leader misunderstood.

But Sean did not deny it, and followed her words and asked, "Ms. Leith, can you tell me more about him?"

Laith shook his head slightly: "I am not familiar with him. I just know that there was such a person in Black City."

She was more responsible for outside affairs. If Chris hadn't gone out on a mission and didn't come back, she might not even know this name.

"But you can go to the back street and ask," Leth said. "He lived there before he disappeared."

"Okay, thank you Miss Leith." Sean said.

Laith smiled slightly: "You're welcome."

After saying that, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, it's time to take your medicine."

"I hope I can wait for your good news."

A few minutes later, Laith and his secretary, who had personally supervised everyone taking the forgetfulness potion, left the city wall.

Sean and the others finally had some time to introduce themselves to each other briefly.

The man who had been advising him was named Tony, and he was good at cutting hair.

The other three men were named Cave, Ryan, and Johnson.

The only girl in the team was named Eleanor.

Without exception, all five of them are high-level wizards of rank six.

No one dares to take on the mission of assassinating the Saint unless they are at the sixth level.

In comparison, Sean's level three magic power seems a little weak and pitiful.

But he didn't take it too seriously.

Sometimes, rank does not represent strength. He is a person who knows forbidden meditation and has the truth spell as a trump card.

If he really goes all out, he may not be much worse than Tony and others.

Sean wanted to ask about the wizard titles of the others, which were easier to remember than their names and better able to distinguish the areas in which each person excelled. However, Tony and the others told him, "We are only at level six, where do we get exclusive titles?"

Sean:

"?"

"Shouldn't it be at level five?"

Tony:

"?

"Are you from the country?"

Sean:

6 ...

Tony looked at Sean with a smile: "If you think this is cool and want to give yourself a nickname, we don't mind, but I don't know whether others will recognize it or not."

Only wizards of the Grand Mage rank and above are eligible to hold the title.

For example, the female leader Leith just now, her name is "Rose Sword"

And Gomez, called "Gray Moth"

The strength of these two Black City leaders is terrifying. If you want to be on par with them, you are still far from being at the sixth rank.

That's why he said Sean was "from the country".

Any "city dweller" with more experience will not be able to ask the question of what their titles are.

Because they don't deserve it.

Sean:

...

understood.

The rules of the "new world" are different from those of the real world.
