Pillar of Yita

Because the vast majority of people have only seen it in the community and various competitions. The Magic Guided Book is so rare that this profession is just as scarce in numbers. So when Fang Hong first heard that a small guild like Tabopolis had found a Magic Guided Book, he couldn’t help but be a bit amazed.

Considering his severe bias and cognitive dissonance, there are truly few things left in the guilds of the First World that can amaze him.

So it goes without saying the shock felt by Lan Wuxin and others at this moment.

Gita, a Natural Historian of this age, is basically the heart of any guild.

Everyone’s first thought was that they had encountered an expedition of a top-tier guild or an Elite Youth Training Group—some even couldn’t help but look around to find if there was any emblem of a Grand Guild on board.

However, Gita obviously didn’t have the awareness of being a ’Grand Guild’ member; she was consistently timid and couldn’t say a word in front of these strangers.

Fortunately, Atira, the Big Catfolk, and Xiangzi also came up, and the Elf Girl finally asked Xiangzi to take everyone to the ship’s meeting room for some rest, then asked Gita to find Tianlan to prepare some hot tea in the kitchen.

Gita left, feeling relieved.

When everyone saw Atira giving orders, they initially thought that this Elf Lady was the person in charge of the ship, the ’Captain’ that Xiangzi had mentioned earlier. Atira didn’t realize what these people were thinking and simply asked: ”Are you adventurers nearby?”

Lan Wuxin nodded.

He actually didn’t have much to hide, so he described his task and purpose for this trip.

When Tianlan brought the hot tea to the dining room, the rescued adventurers had already rested enough. After drying their clothes by the fireplace, they began to recount the troubles they encountered that night.

This group of adventurers was stationed at Masongke Creek, braving the snowy night to search for a BOSS that suddenly appeared in the Tibial Bone Creek Forest.

When Tianlan opened the door and entered, she happened to hear this crucial term:

”BOSS?” The little girl perked up her ears, curiously asking.

”Fuli.” Atira sighed; although she was a Native, she knew that information about BOSSes among Invokers and Adventurers was usually a trade secret.

Unexpectedly, Lan Wuxin shook his head, looking regretful: ”Actually, there’s nothing much to keep secret. It’s just a troll named ’Mountain Kou Ke.’ This troll often acts with an Undead Wizard, which caught people’s attention because this combination is quite rare. After some investigation, it was found to be a Lord Level creature.”

”Then teams in this area conducted a siege against it but were unsuccessful, only infuriating the other side. Three years ago, it last attacked a Hunter camp in the north here and then vanished without a trace. Its reappearance in the Tibial Bone Forest area caught people off guard—our goal isn’t the BOSS itself, but the reward offered by the Adventurers’ Guild. Anyone who discovers the whereabouts of Mountain Kou Ke and reports it can receive a handsome reward.”

Tianlan couldn’t help but shake her head: ”So you were tempted? The Adventurers’ Guild is not a charity; a high reward surely means high risk. With your skills, it’s really too much to venture out in this weather.”

Atira glared at this fellow again.

But Lan Wuxin conceded, having already regretted it. This outing, calculating the loss of manpower, could lead to significant losses, and even if Mountain Kou Ke was found, it would still be an unprofitable venture.

Moreover, they went on a fool’s errand.

Yet, even though he regretted it, Tianlan was intrigued; who doesn’t love a BOSS? If you have the strength to kill it, the rewards are also quite generous. Back when they killed that Rock Shark in Tarun, it was merely an Elite Level creature and not truly a Lord Level, yet it still brought them considerable return.

Now, the startup capital for this team can largely be attributed to that Rock Shark; at least Mr. Greyrock came because of it.

So Tianlan subtly inquired about some information regarding this troll BOSS. Lan Wuxin, having no particular interest in the BOSS and grateful for their rescue, didn’t resist it; he spoke freely, sharing all he knew.

Only the Alchemist was a bit annoyed, feeling like this somewhat bothersome little girl was stealing something originally meant for them. But with Atira nearby, he was too embarrassed to speak.

Yet soon he stopped caring about these matters.

Because Hilveld entered the meeting room with Lady Papamo, who was all dolled up, followed by her Miss Maid as usual. The three pushed the door open, and the adventurers instantly quieted down.

The Alchemist’s jaw dropped autonomously.

This young man originally thought Atira was stunning enough, but at the instant he saw Miss Ship’s Officer, he almost felt like he’d been shocked, subconsciously standing up from his position.

This guy’s gesture didn’t escape Tianlan’s eyes. As a ’negotiation expert,’ she had already noticed his displeasure with her, but she didn’t care about these things—after all, she was asking Lan Wuxin, not this guy.
