After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 454: 349. Double Covenant, Reward for Slaying Heretics
 

Lin Da: “I can’t guarantee that I can definitely save your friend, at most an 80% chance.”

Speaking too confidently makes it easy to set oneself up for a hard fall.

Lin Da, who had initially wanted to claim a 99% chance, stepped back to 80% instead.

“80%? Really?”

That was far more than Bailuo had expected, and her eyes immediately lit up.

If her teacher had promised to find her in three years, and Lin Da could cure her friend within two years… they could meet their teacher together.

Two pieces of happy news overlapped, turning into an even happier event.

The more Bailuo thought about it, the more excited she became. She turned away, secretly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, before turning back to face Lin Da. She bowed slightly and said, “Please, I am asking you.”

“Being able to help the president is my honor,” Lin Da quickly helped Bailuo to stand.

Bailuo, moved, said:

“By the way, would you like to come to Azure Sky University? My invitation still stands.

There, formidable adventurers will teach you combat skills and how to navigate the World Tree.

The speed of improving your strength would be much faster than in a small place like White Dove City.”

Seeing Lin Da’s willingness to help, Bailuo decided to give Lin Da another chance.

Lin Da smiled and declined:

“I’ll visit Cyan City, but not now.

The place I’m going won’t be Azure Sky University.

President, like I said, someone of my humble origins isn’t suited for the Academic Faction.”

Hearing this, Bailuo rolled her eyes, still finding Lin Da too arrogant. On the surface, he seemed to be a humble and polite adventurer, but in fact, he was more arrogant than the top student at Azure Sky University.

“If you’re not going to Azure Sky University, then where are you going? Is there another place that can attract you?” Bailuo asked, puzzled.

Monica also looked toward Lin Da, wanting to know why Phoenix Tail Flower would go to Cyan City in the future.

“Ice Abyss Training Camp,” Lin Da said slowly, eyes squinted.

Bailuo raised an eyebrow and said:

“The training camp established by Cold Moon Duke in Cyan City? I know that place, it has a very high dropout rate and is meant to train ‘beasts.’

Many participants of the Ice Abyss Training Camp can’t handle the pressure in the first year and lose their minds, going mad.

That place is completely inhumane!

Going there is not better than coming to Azure Sky University; I would teach you well.”

Learning by her side was indeed much better than going to the Ice Abyss Training Camp.

Bailuo’s words were carefully considerate of Lin Da’s situation.

But Lin Da shook his head and said, “This is just a thought at the moment, I haven’t decided officially.”

He wasn’t very interested in the Ice Abyss Training Camp, just as Bailuo had said. The camp gathered the most elite adventurers from Cangqing Province.

What he excelled in navigating was the World Tree, while the adventurers from Ice Abyss Training Camp were far more troublesome than the Magical Creatures inside the World Tree.

However, the camp held the key to unlocking the main storyline of version 3.0 and had a direct connection to Cold Moon Duke.

This was the storyline Lin Da was most familiar with.

According to the original plot, players would enter one of the training camps under the Four Great Dukes.

Among them, the Ice Abyss Training Camp was located in Cyan City. The minimum eligibility to enter was being part of the Steel Level Adventure Group.

And it required being featured in Adventurer’s Weekly at least twice or having a recommendation from a relevant person.

With Lin Da’s knowledge of the place, a Steel Level Adventure Group would only be situated at the bottom, subjected to bullying.

In the training camp, only the strongest adventure groups could survive and be received by Cold Moon Duke.

Version 3.0 would then officially begin.

The issue was that the original plot had changed drastically.

From a gaming timeline perspective, Dark Shadow, controlled by Lin Da, entered the Ice Abyss Training Camp six years ago, stood out within a month, and left an undefeated legend.

He was favored by Cold Moon Duke and obtained the qualification to go to the Royal Capital to meet the Holy Tree.

Three years ago, Lin Da traveled to Mystic Continent, and at the same moment, Dark Shadow mysteriously disappeared. Cold Moon Duke, for some reason, joined the Demon Lord’s Army…

Whether the “Ice Abyss Training Camp storyline” continues as in the game is something to be considered.

For this, the more power Lin Da had, the better.

At least by breaking through the 20th floor of the World Tree in White Dove City and advancing to the Sunrise Level Adventure Group.

Only after all members reach Moon Rank would they consider setting up base in Cyan City.

Facing Lin Da’s soft-spoken attitude, Bailuo threw a punch that didn’t land, causing her to rub her forehead in frustration.

“Really, I can’t handle you. Anyway, when you come to Cyan City, you must visit me, President. I cook really well, and I can treat you to a meal,” Bailuo said.

“Sure, I will definitely visit.”

The two exchanged a smile and silently made a pact.

Bailuo would keep Lin Da’s secret.

Lin Da, in turn, had to head to Cyan City within two years to treat Bailuo’s Witch friend.

A moment later, Velen and the others arrived.

Two Moon Rank individuals with wings on their backs flew in through the gap Bailuo had made.

They were Phoenix Tail Flower’s maid, Tasya, and the Moon Rank Elf scholar from Proclamation Wind City, Wenqi.

Tasya, holding Lulu on her left and Kafni on her right, while Wenqi carried President Velen.

“So glad you’re all right!” Velen exclaimed with a laugh as he landed.

The three members of Phoenix Tail Flower gathered around Lin Da.

Lin Da held Lulu in his arms and comforted her, “With so many people around, try not to cry out, okay? It’s safe now, Monica and I weren’t hurt.”

“Sister Lulu, I’m sorry,” Monica said, hanging her head low.@@novelbin@@

Lulu shook her head, “It’s okay as long as you’re safe. Welcome back, Monica.”

Tasya and Kafni also smiled.

Despite the ordeal, everyone was safe and it was a cause for celebration.
