After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 599: 441, allocation of spots, the final BOSS
 

“If only it were that simple.”

Weylon glanced at the person before him, suppressed the scorn in his eyes, and said, “Based on past cases, the Buti Bird’s singing, at the fastest, also requires…”

“It won’t sing for half an hour, will it?”

“That would be a relief indeed.”

Weylon shook his head and sighed, “If it were half an hour, adventurers from Red Heart City and South Rock City wouldn’t make it.

But this damn bird, once it starts singing, it sings for at least an hour!”

“An hour?”

Upon hearing this, the plump committee member was stunned.

An hour was enough for the adventurers from Red Heart City and South Rock City to make it over.

A Mevente Official stood up, his tone serious, “Notify all Star Rank adventurers under White Dove City immediately, defend the Buti Tree with all your might, five spots, afterwards the teams will distribute them based on their contributions! Even if we can’t hold it…”

At this, Mevente inhaled deeply, with unwillingness, “Even if we can’t hold it, we must scare away the Buti Bird, and absolutely cannot let adventurers from other cities get it!”

Officials from a small place like Mevente lacked the commitment to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

Five evolution skills, ordinary adventurers could join the front lines with them, and if front-line adventurers gained enlightenment…

The mere thought made Mevente’s scalp tingle. This opportunity, either White Dove City would use it themselves, or no one else would get a chance.

“I’ll contact Captain Robert right away.”

Abner hurried away.

Besides Snow Goose and Ice Flower, White Dove City’s Iron Level adventure teams also included the recently promoted Valiant.

Although Robert’s rank was a bit low, guarding the Buti Tree was of utmost importance, so all forces had to be mobilized.

In the meeting room, Mevente pondered for a moment, tapped the table, and said, “Notify the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team to cease their strategy for the 19th floor and fight another day.”

“I agree.” The plump committee member nodded, “After going through the Refining Heart Mirror Image trial, they are nearly spent. Better to fight another day and first guard the Buti Tree.”

“Hmm, it’s decided then.” Mevente looked at Weylon, his face turned serious, and commanded:

“The Phoenix Tail Flower Team has an above-average level, and the miracle has fallen in their resource area, we can allocate two of the five spots to Phoenix Tail Flower; this is the committee’s favorable treatment for them. You go notify the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team to stop their strategy and head to the 15th floor immediately, to guard the Buti Tree!”

Weylon’s breath caught in his chest, nearly choking him.

“You’re making the Phoenix Tail Flower cease their strategy halfway through?”

Weylon’s voice rose a few notches.

Mevente frowned and said, “Is there a problem? No matter how strong the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team is, they are a part of White Dove City and under the council’s supervision. I order them to put the overall situation first and head to the 15th floor immediately.”

“Haha, hahaha!”

Weylon’s laughter was not of anger, but ridicule.

“What’s so funny?” Mevente asked in a stern voice.

“I’m laughing at your ignorance in treating Phoenix Tail Flower as subordinates!” Weylon slammed his palm on the long table, his Battle Qi surged forth, shattering the entire long table.

Looking at the shattered table, Mevente and the other three officials were dumbfounded.

They were from the orthodox Royal Capital Academy and had rich theoretical knowledge; they had never seen an adventurer official as crude as Weylon.

Ignoring the angry glares from Mevente and others, Weylon sneered, “You don’t think that White Dove City’s current position is all thanks to you, do you?

Without the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, today we wouldn’t even have the chance to choose whether to guard the miracle, and it would definitely be something other cities would pocket!

Even if we step back a bit…

Lord Mevente, if I say that Phoenix Tail Flower can break through the 19th floor today and become a Sunrise Level adventure team, would you still dare to say the words you just did?”

Sunrise Level?

Mevente’s mind stirred slightly—there hadn’t been a Sunrise Level in White Dove City for decades, such a merit was enough to advance his career further.

“I… I was thinking of the bigger picture.” Mevente insisted.

Seeing this official’s bluff, Weylon laughed, “I’ll lay it out here, if you send people to persuade Phoenix Tail Flower to turn back, or if you release the Buti Tree news to disrupt the Phoenix Tail Flower Team’s mindset, don’t blame me for turning against you!”

Bang!

Weylon left with his secretary, slamming the door behind him.

“Dammit! No one has ever dared to speak to me like this! This Weylon, he’s so arrogant!”

After Weylon left, Mevente kicked a chair flying.

“After this year, we’ll have him ‘retire’.”

The plump official was also infuriated.

They were supervisors sent from the Royal Capital, born of a nobler bloodline than the natives of White Dove City.

Both Weylon and the Phoenix Tail Flower Team should be obedient to their management.

But now, Phoenix Tail Flower was too important for White Dove City, so they dared not take action against them.

But replacing Weylon with a compliant chairman of the adventure committee was not difficult.

On the other hand, Weylon returned to the hall and silently watched the Phoenix Tail Flower Team on the glow screen.

The sunrise for White Dove City was time to rise.

…

As the outside world argued over the miracle on the 15th floor, Lin Da and others entered the third trial.

“The final blow!”

Lin Da thrust his longsword, piercing into the eye of a massive, tumor-laden black rat.

In this challenge, they faced the boss called [Toxic Plague Rat].

Not very strong physically, but capable of summoning its peers with a whistle.

This tested the adventure team’s ability to handle groups.

If the team was full of adventurers like Lulu and Tasya, skilled in single-target output, they might pass this challenge, but they’d be worn to exhaustion.

The Phoenix Tail Flower Team, while not the strongest in group combat, was certainly not weak.

They had Monica’s [Earthquake Technique], [Rain of Stones], and [Dust Storm]—three major group Spell attacks.

Coupled with Lin Da’s [Toxic Purple Mist] that could continuously bleed the enemy.
