Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

This branch chief turned out to be more powerful than he appeared—so thought Babol and the others.

"it is good."

Ice Star Shirley, who seemed to be asleep, slowly opened her eyes after hearing the sound, and did not look like she had just woken up.

After she opened her eyes, her sharp gaze swept across everyone present, causing them to tremble.

It felt like my heart was frozen in an instant.

"Come with me, everyone."

Ice Star Shirley put away the cold air that was constantly emanating from her, stood up and walked onto the podium in the Mission Union Hall, while everyone else stood on the open space below the podium.

Babol was very "smart". He deliberately bumped away the boy who had a grudge against him and took the position facing the podium first. The boy seemed not to dare to do anything to Babol and stood in the corner without saying a word.

——(Hehehe… Serves you right! You dared to go against me this morning!)

——(Just standing here, I can leave some impression on the maze instructor!)

Babol was feeling very proud. At this moment, he saw the cavalry captain Pride coming over, so he raised his hands and beckoned Pride to come stand next to him.

"Master Pride, this is right in the middle. I've saved a spot for you!"

Pride didn't care about these things, but out of politeness, he accepted Babol's kindness.

After standing up, Pride looked around, trying to see the characters of the first group of people to arrive in Dris Town. Then, when a young man's face came into his sight, Pride froze instantly.

——(Master...Banning?!)

Surprised, Pride turned around and walked towards his "only master" without caring about the maze instructor's upcoming lecture. At this moment, "Master Banning" also noticed his presence, and immediately raised his index finger to his lips, gestured and gave Pride an order.

——(Master Banning meant for me to keep quiet...?)

Pride was quite smart. He thought about it and immediately understood that this meant that he should not attract other people's attention.

So, Pride quietly came behind Lord Banning, like his bodyguard, with his hands behind his back, standing there straight.

But even though Pride didn't say anything, this scene still stunned everyone else present.

Pride, the captain of the First Cavalry Squadron of the Cuilin City Cavalry Regiment, just gave up his good position and was willing to stand behind an unknown person?

Babol was even more confused. He wanted to go over and ask Pride what was going on, but at this time, the maze instructor's speech began.

"Listen up, you losers! I'm only going to say this once."

Ice Star Shirley's words were like a gust of cold wind, giving everyone the illusion that they were frozen.

What surprised everyone was that Branch Chief Pame could actually stand next to Ice Star Shirley and write down the content of Ice Star Shirley's speech on parchment.

"First of all, be happy, losers, because you can hear my lecture in person, while other losers who arrived later than you can only read the notice board."

Ice Star Shirley's cold expression and venomous speaking style made everyone feel like they were standing in the snow and being whipped.

But the strangest thing is that no one wants to leave, because Ice Star Shirley's icy and beautiful appearance is really impossible to take your eyes off.

"Then, let me tell you clearly now that my purpose here is to form a subjugation team that can conquer the 'Green Ghost Lair', not to ensure that every one of you can return alive from the maze."

"Don't think that just because you can return to an ordinary maze at any time, your life won't be in danger."

"You're totally wrong, you idiots! The actual mortality rate in a normal maze is 70%! Most of you won't be able to come back alive!"

"As long as you join the maze expedition, I don't care if you were once noble or commoner, or if your parents were kings or beggars. In my eyes, you are just tools used to conquer the maze, the only difference is whether you are useful or not."

"Finally, there is one more thing I want you to know, and that is that I will not enter the maze with you."

"After hearing this, if you're still willing to join the maze expedition, stay. If you're not, you can leave."

If the initial "greeting" was just like being whipped in the cold wind, then the straightforward warning that followed could be said to be like being stabbed in the cold wind.

After hearing this, the representative from Gude Town immediately turned around and ran away. He was really a decisive guy.

Babol was a little hesitant. His purpose in joining the maze expedition was to gain experience from others. He hoped to successfully level up to the second level in the maze, and then return to Medison Town to challenge the "White Trial".

As for the fact that he passed the "Orange Trial", that was actually all fake.

Now that he heard that ordinary mazes were so dangerous, Babol began to back out... But he still held on to a glimmer of hope. He thought that this might be the maze instructor deliberately saying harsh words to eliminate those timid and weak ones.

After some hesitation, Babol decided to stay for a while and see how it goes.

As for the remaining three people, they were not worried at all.

Pride's idea is very pure. If Lord Banning lets him participate, he will participate. If Lord Banning doesn't let him participate, he will withdraw. In short, no matter life or death, he will advance and retreat with Lord Banning.

Heloise firmly believes that the power of Fike and the Evil Tiger King will protect her, and gaining new power through the maze is a goal she will not give up easily.

Heloise was filled with courage when she thought that her fellow tiger people were still being deceived by the earth ghosts.

Finally, our classmate Jiang Ran’s attention is mainly focused on the basic information of Ice Star Shirley. As for the life-threatening nature of challenging the maze, what does it matter to him?

Forget about the "Maze·Green Ghost Lair". He has a "fatal disaster" to deal with tomorrow afternoon, but isn't he listening to the speech here calmly?

(Ice Star Shirley... despite possessing unparalleled strength, why doesn't she enter the maze?)

Looking at the basic information of the maze instructor, Jiang Ran was still thinking.

Shirley, female, 28 years old, Chief Court Magician of the Kingdom of Wester, Ice Star

Production Occupation: Gatherer - Lv3

Manufacturing Occupation: Pastry Chef - Lv7

Combat Class: Elemental Sage - LV127

Skill: 4 / 4

Jiang Ran's intuition told him that the kingdom had suddenly started paying attention to the maze conquest again after two years, and there must be some plan behind this.

Jiang Ran would not be so foolish as to be a guinea pig or a tool.

Before entering the maze, he must first find a way to "pry open" the mouth of the Ice Star Shirley.

6.74 - Instructor's First Instruction (Part )

"Really? You guys are the best among the trash. The trash that arrives in Dris Town first is indeed of better quality."

Ice Star Shirley looked down at the people in the audience. She was a little surprised that four out of five people stayed - she had expected that only one person would stay.

Just now, after going up to the podium, Ice Star Shirley received the list of five people who had arrived from the head of the Pame branch.

Among the five people, she was only impressed by Pride, the captain of the Green Forest Cavalry Regiment. In her opinion, the middle and low-level figures in the regular army were all very useful tools.

Since Pride came here with a mission, he would definitely stay - that's what Shirley thought.

So, what kind of rotten fish and shrimp are the remaining three people?

Shirley glanced at the list again:

Madison Township Representative Barber;

Representative Heloise of Derry Township;

Sonny Township Representative Fick;

These people without any titles were obviously selected from the reward hunters by various task guilds.

Shirley knew clearly that joining the maze expedition team was a matter of personal will, and the so-called "representative" was not necessarily the strongest.

Therefore, she still has reservations about the strength of these three people.

However, during the speech just now, two things caught Shirley's attention.

One is that for some reason Pride stood behind the young man named Fike like a guard. Could it be that this Fike was not an ordinary person?

The other thing was that the girl named Heloise actually had snow-white hair, which brought back memories that Shirley didn't want to recall.

—(She doesn't have a family name, so it shouldn't be... But, with white hair and eyes that aren't emerald green... could she be like me...?)

Whether it was true or not, it had nothing to do with Shirley anymore. She was no longer a member of that family.

"Listen up, losers, let's get to the point."

·

Shirley returned to her role as a maze instructor, briefly and concisely explaining the most basic information to the remaining four people.

Shirley told everyone that the characteristic of the "Maze·Green Ghost Lair" is that it has three entrances, two of which are near the town of Dris, and the other entrance is far away in the territory of the Feiqi family.

The entrance to the maze is similar to the trial gate of the advanced trial. They are essentially a teleportation device. However, the entrance to the maze and the trial gate have many differences.

First of all, there is no limit on the number of entrants at the maze entrance. After the first entrant walks into the maze entrance, no matter how many people or other creatures continue to enter during the remaining five-minute countdown, there is no limit on equipment and props.

However, after five minutes, the entrance to the maze will be closed until all the people and creatures that entered through this entrance this time leave the maze or die, and then the entrance to the maze will open again.

As for the "Green Ghost Lair" with three entrances, it has a special rule, that is, the three teams entering from the three entrances are independent of each other.

In other words, as soon as one team is completely wiped out, a new team can be added immediately.

"But there's one thing you must remember: the three teams correspond to three entrances. Whichever entrance you entered from, if you want to escape, you can only exit from the same entrance. This is the experience our predecessors have earned through their own lives."

As Shirley spoke, she observed the expressions of the four people. Except for the muscular man named Babol who could hardly hide his fear, the other three showed no fear at all. This made Shirley have a certain change in her opinion of them - especially towards Fike and Heloise.

"As for what's inside the 'Green Ghost Lair', there are only two things I can tell you."

"One is that the venue inside is a mountain forest, a continuous mountain forest."

"Another thing is that there are so many different types and numbers of monsters, especially goblins, the number is astonishing."

"That's all I have to say about the 'Green Ghost Lair'. Everyone, gather here promptly at nine tomorrow morning. I'll announce the captain selection."

"That's all I have to say, you losers, you can go away now."

Shirley looked down at the four people coldly. At this time, the young man named Fei Ke raised his hand and asked a question.

"Instructor, since the purpose of forming a subjugation team is to conquer the maze, why don't you choose strong ones like you to do it? Is there any special purpose for letting us 'weaklings' do it?"

Shirley couldn't help but smile after hearing this. It wasn't difficult to think of this contradiction, but not everyone had the courage to raise it in public to a strong man like herself.

"I won't answer your question, you useless piece of shit. If you really want to know the answer, use your strength to prove that you are not useless."

Shirley looked at the boy provocatively. She wanted to see how capable this boy was who could make the captain of the cavalry serve as his "attendant".

"I understand. Thank you, Instructor."

However, the boy was quite sensible and kept his mouth shut, which deprived Shirley of an opportunity to have fun.

"Okay, get out of here, I'm going to rest."

Shirley jumped directly off the podium. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly made way and watched her walk towards the door of the Task Union.

At this moment, the sound of a carriage stopping was heard outside the mission union.

Shirley didn't care. She opened the door and walked out. Then she saw a white carriage stopped in front of her. On the carriage was engraved the four-horned giant deer emblem that she hated the most.

——(Why would someone from the Snow Deer family come here...?)

The door of the carriage was quickly pushed open, and three petite deer spirits jumped out of the carriage one after another. Then, a girl with black hair and green eyes also walked out of the carriage.

Shirley's eyes met with the girl's, and both of them were stunned.

"Vanessa...?"

"Shirley...sister...sister?"

·

After a few seconds, Shirley was the first to react.

"Don't call me that. I'm not your sister anymore." Shirley's tone was cold, leaving no room for communication.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Lady Ice Star Shirley."

Vanessa also quickly changed her address, averted her gaze, lowered her head and stood aside to make way for Shirley.

Shirley took a look at the coachman's clothes and noticed the emblem of the Green Lizard family embroidered on their collars. She immediately knew why Vanessa appeared here, which made her mood even gloomier.

"Vanessa, if you continue to be so naive, you will become a waste sooner or later."

"Thank you for your reminder, but I still want to try it again."

Although Vanessa's attitude was humble, every word she said was unyielding.
