"Joint... annihilation?" Roland felt that this word was incompatible with the rule of law. The corner of his mouth twitched and he said, "It sounds like a big deal."
"It's not as complicated as you think." Garcia seemed to have read his mind. "There have been several missions like this before. It's just that the Association has enough information about the Fallen Evils and decided to catch them all at once. Compared with hunting alone or being attacked by Fallen Evils, it's much safer to take the initiative and prepare in advance. "
"Have you participated in it before?"
"Uh..." Garcia paused for a moment and said, "I've only heard about it from my master. I wasn't qualified to participate in a joint annihilation mission before. This is the first time. " She paused, looked down at the coffee cup in her hand and said, "Maybe you don't care about this, but I still have to make it clear... The moment you got the hunting license, your position was already above mine. The Association asked me to inform you because you haven't been in the Association for a long time, so there may be some mistakes in the handover. That's all. If you don't think it's appropriate, I'll go back and tell the Association... "
"No, that's fine." Roland hurriedly interrupted her. He had joined the Martialist Association to solve the mystery of the Erosion and the Force of Nature. He had robbed Fallen Evils to make money and support his family. He had never thought about contributing to the Association, let alone becoming a regional leader. "Since you're the one who introduced me to the martialist profession, you should take responsibility, understand?"
Garcia was stunned. She raised her head and stared at him for a while before she burst into laughter. "Responsible? You're such a strange person... It's obviously a shameless excuse to be lazy, but I always feel like I'm taking advantage of you." Although she said so, she looked a lot more relaxed.
"Good that you know." Roland shrugged and said, "Let's get back to business. Besides you and me, who else will participate in this mission? Who's our target? "
"In order to avoid leakage, we usually only reveal this information after everyone has arrived." Garcia took a big gulp of coffee and said, "But I heard that some new martialists are also on the list."
It seemed that the internal structure of the association was not completely united. He nodded. "Then what's the meeting time and place?"
"Tomorrow night at 6 pm, the location is in the Southern Suburbs. I will send the exact location to your phone. At that time, you can go by yourself, or you can take my car — "
"I can do it alone," Roland quickly said. If he were to ride with her, how would he be able to take a witch with him?
Garcia curled her lips. "Whatever you want." She waved at Phyllis and handed her a note. "I'm Roland's neighbor. I live at 0827. If you encounter any trouble in this city... I mean, anything against your will, you can call this number... I'll be happy to help."
Phyllis blinked. "Thank … Thank you."
"You're welcome." She patted him on the shoulder with a smile and waved to the door. "See you tomorrow."
With a series of crisp chimes, Garcia's figure disappeared behind the door.
"She's a good person." Phyllis sighed. "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to go?"
"Since the association has named me, I can't refuse. Just take it as payment for the hunting license." Roland said casually, "Anyway, I'm not the only participant. As long as I pay a little attention, I should be fine. Besides, it's not bad to participate in this kind of activity once in a while. " After all, beating people up was also a way to relieve stress. Moreover, he had witches to help him, so it would be difficult for anything to go wrong.
"Then I'll inform Lady Pasha to change a group of combat witches to help you," Phyllis bowed and said.
…
After some enthusiastic registration and simple screening, the participants were quickly determined — they were still the first batch of witches to enter the Dream World: Phyllis, Faldi, Ling, and Dawnen. Their abilities were both concealment and tracking, so they were suitable for this backstage support job.
The next afternoon, Roland and his team drove the van to the address on the GPS.
On the map, the destination was a highway service area in the suburbs. Undoubtedly, this was an impromptu meeting point. It was convenient for them to arrive at the destination, and it would not attract attention when they changed vehicles.
The Martialist Association was quite thoughtful.
However, when he got off the ramp and entered the service area, he found that he had made a big mistake.
There were dozens of dazzling luxury cars parked in the parking lot, and passers-by stopped to watch and point at them from time to time. What was even more exaggerated was that there were several groups of people gathered around, screaming excitedly one after another. Their posture was no different from chasing after a celebrity. At a glance, it was obvious that a celebrity martial artist had been recognized.
"Luoluo, look over here!"
"Can I take a picture with you?"
"Are you here to shoot a commercial?"
"Is that Mr. Youlong, the runner-up of the last competition?
"Wow, he smiled at me! He's so handsome! "
"Hey, hey, are you guys really here for a mission?" Roland silently rolled his eyes. As soon as he parked the van, he saw Garcia walking toward him.
"Be careful."
"Got it." Dawnen summoned "Lightless Curtain" and covered the three people in the backseat.
Roland turned off the engine and got off the van. He greeted Garcia, "You're really fast."
"You're a hunter with a hunting license now. Why do you still drive this kind of... crappy thing?" Garcia was puzzled. "I know you like to keep a low profile, but... this has nothing to do with keeping a low profile. It's even shabby."
"Really?" He spread out his hands. "I don't think there's a car more convenient than this. Whether it's to the supermarket or the market, it can carry a month's worth of food for several people. Other cars can't do that. " Of course, the more important reason was that you never knew how many fighters could fit in a van.
"Okay." Garcia seemed to accept his explanation helplessly. "If you don't mind other people's opinions."
"Of course." Roland smiled indifferently. "Are those guys with shiny faces also martial artists participating in this mission?"
"Yes, but don't say such rude words to anyone except me." Garcia glared at him. "According to the time of joining, they're all your seniors."
"What about according to their positions?"
"That's even harder to say. In the eyes of insiders, you're now the representative of the old school." Garcia sighed. "If there's a chance to embarrass you in a mission, I'm sure they won't miss it."
"I thought all martialists would be like you and focus on saving the world," Roland muttered. "By the way, you belong to the new school, right? Is it okay for you to be so close to me? "
"Not everyone cares about the conflict between the new and the old," Garcia said grumpily. "Besides, didn't you ask me to be responsible for this mission?"
"You're right." Roland couldn't help laughing. "Thank you."
"Uh-huh, as your senior, let me briefly introduce them to you … But you've probably met some of them at my father's banquet, so I'll just tell you the three most important ones." Garcia raised her eyebrows at the center of the crowd. "Luo Hua, a famous martialist. He's a skillful fighter and has many admirers. He ranked 10th in the last Martial Arts Competition, the best result in this city. Although he started his career early, he's only 22 years old this year, which is quite an achievement. "
"Mr. Youlong, age unknown, probably between 30 and 35. He comes from a martialist family and is one of the representatives of the new school. That's how he got his nickname. He's matured in all aspects, and some people say that he's as strong as Persistence. He was the runner-up in the last Martial Arts Competition and should be ready to win this time. If nothing goes wrong, he'll be the captain of this mission. "
Garcia paused and looked around for a while as if she was looking for a target. After a while, she pointed at a pavilion in the outer ring of the stadium. "And the last one is probably the one you need to pay attention to the most."
Roland looked in the direction she was pointing.
"Fei Yuhan, the rising star who rose in the shortest time. She's only awakened five years ago, but she's already made it to the finals of the Martial Arts Competition twice. She's a genius that everyone in the Association knows." Garcia's tone was a little complicated, with both admiration and envy. "I didn't expect her to participate in the mission. With her around, this team can be considered a celebrity team.
"So what should I pay attention to? Will she harm me? "
