Chapter 1833: Section 1834 Task Objectives

However, the Tree Spirit also understands that his wishes are hard to implement. After all, Pamiji Plateau is not safe now, with relics emerging and live lines erupting. Even though they have a solution for live lines now, they cannot let people come and stay in the area where live lines are soaring.

So, in the end, the venue for the Tea Party is definitely still in the Mirror World.

The Tree Spirit felt a headache at this thought.

All the way, Angel listened to the Tree Spirit’s sighs until they reached the "Falling Cloud Leaf Platform," and the Tree Spirit’s lament did not stop.

Angel came down from the vine bus, and the Tree Spirit followed suit.

"Tree Spirit, are you going to Illusion Demon Island too?" Angel turned to look at the Tree Spirit.

The Tree Spirit couldn’t miss the hint of a dismissal in Angel’s words and said in an annoyed tone: "No, it’s just a pile of patchwork Illusory Spirits, nothing interesting."

After a pause, the Tree Spirit continued: "By the way, I have something else to tell you."

Angel quietly looked at the Tree Spirit, waiting for his words.

Tree Spirit: "When you become an Official Wizard and start enjoying the benefits, you also have to pay some price."

Pay the price? A trace of doubt flashed in Angel’s eyes.

"I guess Rhein didn’t tell you... Well, because your presence has opened up communication between the Barbarian Cave and Ashiliye Comprehensive College, which could be considered paying the price in disguise. In this regard, Rhein indeed has no need to tell you, because you have the qualifications to enjoy the benefits." Tree Spirit: "However, I still suggest you do this, after all, being unique is also a kind of high-profile."

Angel: "What matter?"

Tree Spirit: "Task Hall, the task indicators for Official Wizards."

Any Witcher Organization cannot give resources to you for free; even if you are an Official Wizard, you need to pay the corresponding price. The price that the Barbarian Cave publicly announces is the task indicators. Some tasks are exclusively for Official Wizards to take.

"However, you’ve changed your image now, and your identity isn’t well publicized. If you intend to take tasks during this period, you can directly come to me, no need to register at the Task Hall," the Tree Spirit said. "Of course, if you don’t want to take tasks, it doesn’t matter. This is your personal choice."

After saying this, the Tree Spirit waved to Angel: "I’ll leave first."

As his voice fell, the Tree Spirit’s figure transformed into countless green light dots and finally slowly merged with the leaf veins at his feet, disappearing.

Watching the Tree Spirit leave, Angel remained silent in place for a few minutes before turning around to head to the Sky Bridge.

When he turned back, a vine bus happened to stop at Falling Cloud Leaf Platform, and a short-haired woman wearing black-framed glasses stepped out from it.

She seemed to be talking to someone, muttering continuously, occasionally turning to look beside her, but there was no one around her.

Perhaps she was too focused on talking, or perhaps her gaze was constantly looking aside, she completely didn’t notice the steps in front of her on the platform.

The next second, unsurprisingly to Angel, she let out a low cry and tripped on the steps, sprawling on the ground.

As the glasses-wearing woman exclaimed "ouch," a small basket on her back slowly floated into the air, and a strange, sharp, unpleasant voice emitted from the basket: "Fool, this is the result of not watching where you’re going."

The glasses-wearing woman, in aggrieved tone, said: "I wasn’t watching the front because I had to watch you."

"Why look at me? Are you trying to laugh at me?" The basket emitted a cold, sarcastic voice.

"My mom told me to look at a person’s eyes when talking," the glasses-wearing woman pouted.

A silence followed from the basket: "...Pedantic."

The glasses-wearing woman patted the dust off her knees and stood up: "It’s not pedantry; it’s courtesy."

"In this world, who cares about courtesy? Following rules leads only to ruin."

The glasses-wearing woman was just about to retort when she noticed, not far from the platform, stood a red-haired man who was looking over with those narrow eyes.

The glasses-wearing woman’s face turned slightly red; did the man see her fall?

Thinking of this possibility made her feel a bit embarrassed. She quickly grabbed the basket floating in mid-air and whispered, "We’ll argue later; let’s hurry or the library will be full," then hastily left.

Angel noticed that as she passed, a gaze seemed to sweep over from the basket.

After the glasses-wearing woman left, Angel muttered in an almost indistinguishable voice: "These two actually ended up together."

Angel was not unfamiliar with the glasses-wearing woman; she was Abulei, who took them, then still mortals, to receive the Mentor’s flying post in the resource hall when he first entered the Barbarian Cave.

Angel remembered Abulei as a Summoning Apprentice, but the creature she summoned was a Tricolor Deer with low combat power and no special abilities, only able to serve as a means of transport, leading Abulei to be rated as one of the Summoning System’s three wastes.

At the time, Abulei was a Level 1 Apprentice, but now she has advanced to Second Level Advanced Apprentice, close to Third Level Apprentice.

Angel’s impression of Abulei was only that, but he had a much deeper impression of the talking basket.

To be precise, it wasn’t the basket talking but the person inside it.

That person was someone Angel was very familiar with.

— Gu Yina.

Angel brought back a Talented One from Hailan; she was a little girl with all limbs severed and even her mouth sewn shut.

Angel was particularly impressed by Gu Yina not just because of her external image but because of her almost entirely pitch-black heart.

This was someone whose heart couldn’t be found in pure kindness. Dark to the core, every pursuit was only for "survival."

Such a person actually ended up together with Abulei?

Although Angel didn’t have much impression of Abulei, he heard from David that Abulei was very pure and kind, completely opposite to Gu Yina.

One belonging to daytime, the other mingling in the night.

Why would these two seemingly incompatible people gather together, and seem to have some close intimacy?

Looking at the silhouette gradually turning into a black dot in the distance, Angel softly murmured: "Is it Gu Yina’s scheme?"

Angel remembered when Gu Yina was still a mortal, she mingled with a very naive and kind little girl, but in the end, Gu Yina killed this little girl for a piece of bread in the girl’s hand.

Because of this, when seeing Gu Yina together with Abulei, Angel’s first reaction was Gu Yina’s scheme.

However, Abulei didn’t seem to have anything particularly good to attract Gu Yina.

Angel couldn’t figure it out, but since it didn’t concern him, he shook his head and stopped thinking.

Elsewhere, Abulei and Gu Yina had reached another leaf. Abulei whispered in an aggrieved tone: "Someone saw my clumsy appearance... I hope it won’t be spread..."

"You have plenty of clumsy incidents; one more doesn’t matter." Gu Yina paused, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "But that man, his aura seemed somewhat familiar..."
