Boom!!!
On the yellow plains, in a cluster of yellow and green woods, a circle of green ripples suddenly appeared. It spread wildly in all directions.
Garon used his aura to rush to the ground in mid-air, borrowing the momentum a few times, and rushed out of the green ripples area. He landed lightly beside a small puddle, and took a few steps back. Then he paused his steps, and turned back to look at the spreading green ripples.
He raised his hand, and looked at his right palm. There was a faint green color on it, and white smoke was coming out, and there was an unpleasant sour smell in the air.
"What a strong acid poison!"
His right palm lowered, and shook slightly. The green skin on his palm was shaken off, like a piece of light green rag, and fell to the ground, instantly corroding some of the rocks and soil into a pool of green mucus.
Garon's right palm suddenly became a bloody mess, but soon it was automatically covered with a layer of red blood scabs, and stopped bleeding. He showed his strong control over his body.
With such a big commotion, it must have attracted the attention of other people.
At this moment, he saw the plants on the ground that were instantly corroded by the green ripples.
"Damn it!" Garen's expression changed as he cursed in a low voice in annoyance. "Are all form two totem users so troublesome! They actually self-destructed before they died! "
He used his aura to observe the fight between the black-robed man and the pickets, and finally came out to ambush them. Why? Wasn't it to get information about the core totem from the black-robed man? Even if he couldn't get the information, at least he could get some rare resources, right?
He didn't expect that after this self-destruction, there would be nothing left.
Garon didn't hesitate, and quickly left the place. Although he wanted to go in and check it out, the core area was filled with strong acid poison, and he didn't dare to go in.
After a few steps, Garon suddenly stopped, and his face showed a hint of joy. His joy disappeared in a flash, and he quickly ran into the distance again, and soon disappeared into another continuous slope of the forest.
In the faint shade of the forest, Garon slowed down, and released the fluorescent butterfly to patrol above his head. He slowly rushed towards the place where the four of them separated.
At the same time, he closed his eyes slightly, and looked at the attribute pane at the bottom of his vision.
'Strength 2.3, Agility 2.1, Vitality 2.5, Intelligence 2.1. Potential 1493%. Possess the qualifications of a Luminarist. '
His Strength, Vitality, and Intelligence had all recovered an average of 0.1. His Potential had risen from 12 to 14, and was about to reach 15!
After the pleasant surprise, Garon fell into deep thought.
"His physical fitness hasn't reached its peak yet, so it's normal for him to recover. But my potential has increased … Could it be because I killed a Luminarist? I checked yesterday, and the Potential Points are still intact. Now that I've just killed a Luminarist, there's an immediate change. Even if it's not caused by killing a Luminarist, it definitely has something to do with it! "
He was certain. Because he could not find the source of the potential points, part of the worry he had all this time was slightly alleviated.
"Should I try to upgrade the neon butterfly now?" He immediately rejected this idea. Without any inherited knowledge, even if he didn't consider the exaggerated failure rate, if he succeeded … There was no way to hide the evolution of the neon butterfly. How was he going to explain the evolution of his neon butterfly to others without any resources or knowledge?
"Forget it, let's find another core totem first."
After discovering a way to obtain potential points, Garon's heart was set. His original plan to obtain the best totem had also faded away. After all, the benefits and risks were proportional. If he wanted to reap huge benefits, the risks he had to take were also not small.
"This way, I only need to deal with the crisis of the manor in about a year. After that, I can think of a way to change to other totems. The two great wars didn't just last for a few years … "Garon had an idea in his mind. His gaze focused, and he sped up.
After crossing the hill, he quickly returned to the place where he separated from Goth and the other two.
There were already some people standing by the gray road. They were all wearing the white vests of the Picket Team. The middle-aged man leading the team was whispering to Jessica, as if he was asking about something. The rest of them were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that Garon had returned, Jessica immediately rushed over with tears in her eyes.
"Garon, are you okay?!" She ran over and held Garon's hand tightly. "I thought you …" Her tears were about to fall.
"It's okay, I won't die so easily. After all, I've trained my body for a period of time." Garon patted his chest. "What about your brother and Goth?"
"No news yet …" Jessica quickly wiped her tears, and said sadly.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. The one chasing after them isn't the strongest one." Garon comforted her. "This mission is so difficult, we'll definitely be able to earn a lot. After all, that's a form two totem user. If I didn't run fast enough and jump into the lake, I would have died long ago. "
"So you were hiding in the lake." The middle-aged man walked over, and showed Garon his white ID. "Captain of the Picket Team, Jefferson. You're Garon? You've got guts. A little guy without a core totem actually dared to lure a form two totem user away. Your courage is commendable! " He patted Garon's shoulder approvingly. "Don't worry, your mission this time has exceeded the scope. The rewards will also increase."
"Thank you, Captain Jefferson." Garon blushed slightly, and immediately pretended to be young and close the distance. After all, he was much younger than the other party. "I wonder how my two companions are doing now?"
"Don't worry, they'll be fine. They only lured a form one totem user away. They'll be back soon." Jefferson smiled. He raised his head and looked at the sky above, where a black eagle was circling in the sky.
"Alright, we have to eliminate the influence. You know the rules right?" Jefferson said softly. "Try not to let the conflict between totem users spread to normal people."
"Can we still cover it up now?" Garon asked softly.
Jefferson frowned slightly. "We'll take it one step at a time …"
He asked Garon about the details of the black-robed man's leader. After getting satisfactory information, he turned and left, and arranged for his subordinates to leave. Garon's explanation of how fast he was, and how he managed to get rid of the pursuers with great difficulty, was also approved by him. After all, other than totems, many totem users also practiced normal people's martial arts to make up for their shortcomings. This was not an exception.
Garon and Jessica waited for more than ten minutes. Finally, Goth and Andy's figures appeared in their field of vision.
"Are you okay?"
Jessica and Garon quickly went up to greet them.
"Andy's hip is injured." Goth scratched his head and answered. "I wanted to carry him back, but he wouldn't. Otherwise, we would have arrived long ago."
Andy, who was standing at the side, had a pitiful expression on his face. When he thought of being carried back by Goth, he had the urge to die.
Jessica saw the two of them return safely. Goth's helpless face and her brother's speechless shame. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She didn't know why, but the word 'hip' sounded normal, but when it came out of Goth's mouth, there was an inexplicable sense of humor.
Garon couldn't help but smile.
"It's good that you're okay. Captain Jefferson said that he'll give us more rewards for this mission."
"That's what I wanted to ask!" Goth gave Garon a thumbs up. Andy, on the other hand, smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Alright, after this mission, we'll have to take a good rest. What do you guys plan to do? "Andy asked. "I'll talk about me and Jessica first. We're currently living in the Air Wing District in the city. The address is 109 Vine Street. You guys can come to my house when you're free. "
"Brother, did you forget? You're injured again this time. When we get back, we'll definitely be specially trained by dad … "Jessica added softly.
"Ugh …" Andy's forehead was sweating.
Goth pursed his lips and scratched his chest.
"I live in Kovitan's main street. The bakery beside the Red Wolf statue is owned by my mom. You guys can come to me if you need anything. If there's any good missions, remember to inform me too. But this time, I'll probably be scolded when I get back. My mom doesn't let me be a mercenary Luminarist … "
Garon saw the three of them looking at him after they finished talking. He smiled.
"I'm considered a free man now. My parents aren't here, so I plan to travel around. I'm temporarily staying in a hotel. Since we're all going back, why don't we leave first? "
"Okay." "Okay."
The four of them asked for a personal stamp from the Picket Captain Jefferson. After they stamped the mission list, they rushed back to the mercenary Luminarist Guild outside Iron Tank City.
After they handed in the mission, under the effect of Jefferson's stamp, the mission was re-evaluated as a high-level contact mission, and not the original investigation mission. They received a total of fifty thousand silver rumbs.
The four of them split it evenly into five portions. Because Garon lured away the second form totem user by himself, the three of them insisted on giving him two portions. Which was twenty thousand.
After some argument, Garon didn't argue anymore and accepted the twenty thousand silver rumbs.
This was indeed a huge sum for him now.
Luminarists, especially those who were capable, could earn money too easily.
After splitting the money, the four of them went their separate ways. Goth and the other two were all locals with families. Only Garon was an outsider, so he could only stay in a hotel.
He wandered around the city alone for a while.
The situation now was a little chaotic.
Luminarists used to only exist in the eyes of people from afar, but with the outbreak of conflict and chaos, rumors and gossip about Luminarists started to spread among the normal people.
People started to get familiar with Luminarists, or rather, the totem users who specialized in using them.
News of the chaos kept spreading through the newspapers in the Royal Alliance of Luminarists. There was an endless stream of blue birds delivering letters in the sky. These blue birds that looked like messenger pigeons had terrifying speed and endurance. Their petite bodies could fly over tens of thousands of kilometers in a day. It was a form 2 support totem specially evolved by Luminarists, the Peregrine Falcon.
Even further away, the news would spread everywhere in at most a week.
Garon bought a few newspapers on the street, and saw that the news about the chaos was starting to heat up. Everywhere, there were discussions about the duration of the chaos, its scope, its extent, and the ultimate beneficiaries.
Up until now, no one had truly realized how terrifying this turmoil was.
After wandering around the city for a while, Garon entered Iron Tank City.
Iron Tank City was an open city. There were no walls, and the buildings were densely packed from the inside to the outside. It was like a huge grey-white circle.
The buildings inside were all white or grey-white, to reflect the sunlight and reduce the heat.
Garon walked in through the symbolic half-open city walls. There were snacks and fruits on both sides of the city gate. He bought some small fruits that looked like prickly pears, and ate them as he walked.
