Chapter 101 Priest Crystal

Chapter 101 Priest Crystal (Seeking first subscription!)

Wilder had already considered that the team was currently lacking a priest.

The priest not only increases the team's margin for error, but also effectively protects the back row and improves Wilder's spellcasting efficiency.

However, finding a teammate in the association who won't abandon them in crucial moments and is kind to others actually requires a considerable amount of time.

Maeve just proved all of the above points during the battle.

She may be incompetent, but she's quite brave.

Moreover, the timing of her casting Arcane Restoration was perfect.

Perhaps it was a fluke, but it was also a kind of wild intuition.

More importantly, in future battles, Wilder's mana supply will be well guaranteed.

"Meve, cast Arcane Restoration a few more times for me."

"Considering the possibility of unexpected events on the way back," Meld said shamelessly.

"OK!"

So the two sat on the stone table in the space that was not stained with blood and began a one-on-one magic transfer.

Cyrion was the only one injured in the battle. He sat on the ground to rest, while the other team members began to clean up the battlefield.

Thirty-three kobolds, two kobold leaders, and one extremely rare kobold priest.

The fixed reward is 21 gold, and when you add the scales and the cheap jewelry they carry, the total income is about 25 gold.

But that's not the main event yet.

There must be even more treasures inside the cave.

"Let's go quickly!"

Gru rubbed his hands together. "I can't wait to go check out those bastards' stash. Hopefully, they've got a habit of collecting gold coins too."

"Wait me a moment."

Wilder drew a dagger from his waist and walked to the corpse of the kobold priest.

Enduring the strong smell of blood and stench, he used a dagger to slit open its chest.

Amidst the crimson entrails and muscles, just before he was about to vomit, he finally touched a hard object with the blade.

They severed the connecting blood vessels and sarcoma, and extracted a dark red crystal.

This is the source of the priest's ability to use magic.

Moreover, this is very likely a crystal that can enhance control spells, something Wilder absolutely cannot afford to miss.

"Keep this crystal for me."

He told the others, "I'll get Baggins to estimate it, and then deduct it from my share of the payment."

"Little guy, nobody's going to take this from you."

Gru swallowed hard. "Unless someone doesn't want to eat dinner tonight."

Having obtained the crystal, they left through the tunnel and searched for the kobolds' storage room in the vast underground world.

Without kobold friends to guide them, and having to be wary of traps and mechanisms, they moved extremely slowly.

"Wild, you should have kept one alive back then."

Cyrion, supported by Joffrey, walked at the very back. "Use your strange magic to make it tell us where the storage room is."

"Well----"

Wilder scratched his head, looking ashamed. "I had originally kept one, but it kept stabbing my thigh with a dagger, and I lost my temper and killed it."

"So that's what it was."

Cyrion rubbed his aching thigh in frustration, then nodded gratefully to Wilder, "Well done, thanks."

"It's all part of my job," Wilder said with a smile.

Maeve walked to the side without saying a word.

As expected of a magician of the Bewitching School, she thought to herself, "He can deceive people without using magic."

After traveling for half an hour, the team finally discovered the puppies' storage room at the deepest part of the underground.

The treasure hunt begins.

Wild casually flipped through the kobold's cherished bottles and jars, and quietly opened the system panel that only he could see.

[Name]: Wilder [Occupation]: Mage [Level]: Lv4 (1415/3000)

(1420/3000)

(1470/3000)

(1520/3000)

(1560/3000)

(1710/3000)

Wilder's eyes lit up.

Awesome!

Besides the nine ordinary kobolds and two leaders, what surprised him most was that the kobold priest actually contributed 150 experience points!

As expected of a high-level monster that indirectly caused Cyrion to suffer two blows!

awesome!

However, there is still a considerable gap before it reaches Lv5.

Nearly 1,300 experience points.

take it easy.

This mission was quite fruitful; once we return to Ironweave Town, we should be able to upgrade our equipment completely.

Let's take on more difficult missions from now on.

or----

Challenge level?

As he pondered, he put away the system panel and then asked Cyrion, who was next to him, about the challenge-level mission.

"This is really challenging!"

Cyrion shook his head. "I've never taken on one, nor have I ever participated in one. After all, missions of that level require venturing deep into the heart of the forest."

"Is the heart of the forest particularly dangerous?" Wilder asked.

He vaguely remembered that Talia had gone there once, apparently looking for a dog that could breathe fire, but she came up empty-handed.

"Yes, most adventurers never return."

Cyrion replied, "The inland areas not only have stronger monsters, but the probability of monsters being distributed there is also very high. Your mission may only be to kill a kobold, but you will first encounter an adult chimera and a maddened petrified rhinoceros on the way."

"I see—"

Wilder thought to himself, it was incredible that Talia had managed to come back alive.

"What's wrong? Feeling that the hard-level missions aren't challenging enough?" Cyrion asked with a smile.

"No, I'm just curious."

Wilder didn't know what the chimeras looked like in this world, but in a game he particularly loved in his previous life, they were the ultimate unit of the night elves.

He needs a priest's help to kill a kobold priest now, so it's best not to try it lightly.

About an hour later, the team looted all the valuables from the storage room.

A large backpack full of cheap jewelry and trinkets, worth about five gold pieces;

Several complete sets of monster scales can be sold for at most one gold coin;

Finally, there were ten gold coins and twenty-five silver coins hidden in a pottery jar, wrapped in three layers of linen.

Compared to yesterday's harvest of hundreds of gold coins, this seems rather meager.

"They dug such a big hole, but it turns out to be a bunch of poor dogs!" Gru spat.

Wilder didn't feel disappointed.

Including the reward for hunting down the kobolds, they earned a total of over forty gold from this underground lair.

Compared to the simple tasks I did before, the earnings have increased many times over.

It's just that Gru's appetite has grown.

After packing their belongings, the team left the underground hideout.

It was just past noon.

They need to return to the previous kobold cave to retrieve their luggage before returning to Ironweave Town.

The weather in the summer was unbearably hot. Although the journey had been smooth, they were exhausted when they arrived at the cave at the foot of the cliff.

"It's cooler underground."

Gru took a deep breath and almost vomited.

The smells of sulfur, earth, fish, blood, and corpses assaulted his nostrils.

-

It was a truly mixed bag of emotions.

"Damn it, I forgot this place is full of corpses."
