Last night before departure.
Arthur's room was full of people. In addition to Joan and Gloria, there were four new faces.
Nine's friend, wood magician, Amy Molly.
Except for Gold, everyone else is familiar with Amy, especially Arthur, who met her in the first round of the assessment for two consecutive years. The unexpected teaming up of the two made Arthur a little embarrassed.
The other three young men are friends found by Moral, the ice magician Chino, and the third-level warriors Gunther and Born.
Gunther is a tall, muscular man with a cold expression, carrying a shield and an exaggerated double-edged one-handed ax on his back.
Born is thin and has a slender sword stuck at his waist. He always likes to squint his small eyes and peek at Gold from time to time when others are not paying attention.
Ever since the two people entered the house, Gel's murderous eyes have been staring at Moral.
"What's going on?" Arthur quietly poked Moral.
"Those who are chasing Gold, I only revealed that I could form a team with Gold, and the two of them obediently paid the registration fee." Moral whispered in Arthur's ear.
"I really don't understand why there are men who like Ge Li's temperament?"
"Arthur, what are you two muttering about? Why hasn't the person you made an appointment arrived yet?" Gold directed her anger at Arthur first.
Before Arthur could answer, there was a knock on the door, and Moral hurriedly ran to open the door.
Looking at the dark-skinned young man who walked in, everyone was stunned.
Hug hie, the untouchable half-orc, why is he here?
"I don't need to introduce him, Huey, he is with our team this time." Arthur introduced to everyone.
Gory nodded to Huey expressionlessly, Joan smiled and waved her hand to Huey, and the others still looked dumbfounded.
Arthur, Gloria, and Joan, these three wonderful flowers, at least have a few friends, but Huey has no friends in the academy. The children of these rich and noble families reject illegitimate children and the identity of half-orcs from the bottom of their hearts, and no one wants to get close to Huey.
As a wild boy from the countryside, Arthur deeply understands this feeling of invisible rejection. Arthur chooses to ignore it. He is destined to be out of the same circle as these people.
Hug hie chose another path, fight! Anyone who shows a look of contempt or repulsion in front of Huey will definitely be attacked by Huey. For example, Gunther and Born who were present have been beaten by Huey.
The method Huey chose made him even more isolated, and everyone deliberately kept their distance from him. If Arthur hadn't taken the initiative to find Huey this time, I'm afraid no team would be willing to take the initiative to accept him. He could only build a team through force, but in the end he would probably be killed by his 'teammates'.
However, no one can deny Huey's powerful combat power. Huey, who is already a fourth-level warrior, has a greater chance of winning even against a fifth-level warrior.
Chino's eyes widened, and he poked Moral with his hand. "Four weirdos have gathered together. This team is so strong! Brother, it's so interesting that you can think of me!"
Moral looked proud, "With the four of them, we can win this time! Don't forget what you said at the time, stay in Zuixianglou for a month!"
Chino chuckled and said: "Don't worry, if I come back ranked first this time, our old man will definitely reward me with thousands of gold coins if he is happy."
"Now that everyone is here, I will now tell you the rules of my team. When the time comes, we will act together. No one can act without permission without obeying the command." When Ge Li spoke, her eyes were specifically focused on Arthur and Huey, warning. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"Wait a minute." Arthur stopped what Gold was going to say, "What do you call your team? I think we should officially choose a captain and then talk about unified command!"
"Arthur, are you going against me on purpose?" Gold put her hands on her hips and stared at Arthur with her big eyes.
Arthur quickly smiled and waved his hands, "I don't dare, I just don't trust that this mission will be led by a captain with no experience."
"Arthur, I remember you!" Gold glared at Arthur again, then turned around and put on a smiling face, "Since someone has an opinion, I will give in and let's vote to see if everyone believes it more who?"
Arthur had no objection to this.
"I won't participate. I don't have any objection to whoever becomes the captain." Huey unexpectedly took the lead in expressing his stance.
"I won't participate either," Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, if you two don't participate, eight people will vote. Now let's vote. Those who agree with me as captain will raise their hands." Ge Li started directly.
Except for Arthur, seven hands were raised in unison.
In the embarrassing scene, Arthur couldn't help but yelled: "Moral, you bastard, which side are you on?"
Moral shrank back and said, "Boss, good men don't fight with women!"
"Arthur, did you see it? Do you have anything else to say?" Ge Li suppressed a smile and looked at Arthur proudly.
"You unprincipled guys will be killed by this woman sooner or later!" Arthur covered his face with his hands.
"Since everyone trusts me and elects me to be the captain, I will assign the task below. Arthur is responsible for the logistics of our team. During the mission, Arthur is responsible for purchasing and carrying the food, medicine, and vulnerable equipment for the entire team. In addition, Arthur, You should give full play to your own advantages and take on more tasks of investigation and pathfinding..."
"Start to put on small shoes for yourself now, only women and villains are difficult to raise!" Arthur lowered his head and kept cursing in his heart.
Marquis Mansion, in a side room.
"Second brother, you must help me this time. If I miss this time, I will never have the chance to take revenge!" Qirao begged his second brother in a low voice, Qi Warren, the last weirdo king in the academy.
"Grandpa said, you can only handle this matter by yourself. If I help you, who will bear the responsibility of grandpa's punishment?" Qi Warren looked at Milan, who was groveling calmly. He didn't expect that this person was once prouder than himself. The third brother would now beg me in a low voice.
"For the sake of us being brothers, please help me this time! You will be knighted soon after you come back from the border. Grandpa will not punish you even if he knows!"
Qi Warren looked at Milan with a half-smile, "Brothers are right, but will the eldest brother give up the inherited title to you and me? Attacking college students is a felony. I was awarded the title this time after spending two years on the border with the orcs. I worked hard for it. Tell me, why should I risk the title I am about to receive to help you?"
Zilao lowered his head and bit his lips in silence.
Qi Warren waved his hand, "Forget it, why do you have to compete with that wild boy now? Focus on your cultivation, and get a knighthood after graduation. Grandpa Lu has already made arrangements for us. From now on, you, There are plenty of opportunities to deal with him."
Qirao suddenly raised his head, "As long as Arthur dies, my inner demon will not be eliminated! I will officially become an adult by the end of the year. As long as you help me, and the family will be divided into shares of the property in my name, I will, I'll give you half."
Chiral was stunned for a moment, then pushed a piece of paper in front of Chiral and said with a smile: "I'm not forcing you to do this. Write an agreement."
