Chapter 102: The Squad Is Officially Established
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yi saw the notification that the mission had been completed and nodded his head in satisfaction.
The equipment dropped by the monsters was distributed to Clutch King and Snow Chaser. The mission was considered easy this time, so there was no equipment that was valuable to Li Yi.
Although the mission had been completed, Clutch King did not have a happy smile on his face.
The mission was completed, but he had been careless, which was why he had been ambushed.
This was humiliating for Clutch King.
He had never made such a mistake before, but ever since he had followed Li Yi, he had started to unconsciously rely on him, which had made him give up his vigilance in battle. If it had not been for Snow Chaser’s assistance… it would have been very difficult for him to do it alone.
Li Yi saw Clutch King’s expression and did not say anything. He knew that Clutch King was overly confident with his strength, and this incident was just the opportune moment for him to realize his own shortcomings.
Li Yi walked into the cave and started to observe the surroundings.
There was one thing that he had been brooding over. He had clearly observed the cave earlier, but where had this Wizard Goblin come from?
He knew that monsters could not appear out of thin air. There were no traces of other people here. If someone had come here to farm monsters before, then these monsters would not be so calm.
There must be some kind of secret passage or mechanism somewhere that they did not know about.
With this in mind, Li Yi began to tap around the stone walls. The stone walls in the cave were very dense. They were all naturally formed. If there was a mechanism, it should be easily discovered.
Sure enough, after exploring for a short while, Li Yi found a movable rock leaning against the stone wall. Li Yi moved the huge rock away, and a secret cave appeared in front of him.
[System Notification: Hidden Mission activated — Secrets in the Cave.]
“Huh?”
Since there was a hidden mission, it seemed that his judgment was correct; there must be some secret item hidden inside.
Li Yi held up his shield and Deaths Descent as he walked into the hidden cave, with Clutch King and Snow Chaser following behind him.
When they reached the end of the cave, there was a shivering body curled up in a corner.
Upon closer inspection, it was a person, and it looked like an NPC.
“Don’t... Don’t kill me...”
The NPC in front of him had shifty eyes and did not look okay. When he saw Li Yi and the others walk in, his whole body trembled. He looked as though he was afraid that Li Yi would kill him.
Li Yi observed that the person in front of him was not someone from Emperor City. The clothes he was wearing were from another city.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Yi remembered the clothing style from a certain city.
It was Kesha City!
“State your identity.”
Li Yi raised his sword and pointed it at that person. His gaze was serious, and the menacing aura released from Li Yi even made Clutch King and the others, who were standing beside him, feel fear.
What exactly had Li Yi discovered that made everyone nervous?.
“I’m a merchant from Kesha City. Someone sent me to take these Goblins away.”
“Take them away? You can control Goblins?”
“Someone taught me how to do it, but I don’t know his identity either.”
“You’re lying to me. How can you not know his identity?”
Li Yi had not expected that the other party would reveal something with just a light interrogation, but it seemed that the other party had no intention of telling the truth either.
Li Yi recalled that the Goblins used to work for the army. Could this be the turning point?
[System Notification: Escort Babato back to the camp.]
“Looks like I’ll have to hand you over to the Knight Commander to decide.”
After bringing Babato out of the cave, with Babato leading the way, they quickly left the dense forest. First, they brought Babato back to the village to complete the Village Chief’s task.
“Thank you, Heavy Armored Dragon Knight. In the future, our village will no longer have to worry about those bandits.”
The Village Chief handed a letter to Li Yi, who took it back and handed it to the Knight Commander. After that, the mission would be considered complete.
Clutch King did not say a single word on the way back, and the three people who had been lively and talkative all along became very quiet after Clutch King’s silence.
After returning to the West Wind Faction, Li Yi took Babato directly to the Knight Commander’s room.
“Thank you very much, Heavy Armored Dragon Knight. With this person, we will be able to get more clues. How can I thank you... Oh right, this is for you.”
Li Yi took the reward and opened the interface to take a look.
[Equipment: West Wind Knight’s Leggings]
[Rarity: Silver]
[Physical Defense: 50]
[Flawless Attribute: Physique +40, Strength +10]
[Equipment Requirement: Level 20]
It was about time to change his leggings anyways. Li Yi had replaced the leggings from before. He looked at Babato and asked the Knight, “What are your next plans?”
“We will do our best to get the information we want. Then, we will send this merchant back. After all, he is just a merchant. We will never harm ordinary people.”
After receiving the Knight Commander’s answer, Li Yi nodded. If Babato really had the ability to control Goblins, then would this ability be grasped by the West Wind Knights?
Although there were questions, it was something that he should not be concerned about right now.
Li Yi took out the letter from the Village Chief from his backpack and handed it to the Knight Commander.
The Knight Commander opened the letter and read it. He was very satisfied and touched his unique mustache above his mouth.
“Congratulations on completing the trial, although this mission isn’t difficult for you.”
[System Notification: Carefree Dream has officially become the leader of the West Wind Knight Squad.]
[System Notification: Carefree Dream, you may now form your own squad and invite other players to join your squad.]
After understanding how to do it, Li Yi was very excited that he had finally completed it.
“Clutch King, Snow Chaser, are you willing to join my squad?”
Snow Chaser replied without a second thought, “Of course I’m willing.”
He could see Snow Chaser’s face filled with a joyful smile.
Li Yi looked at Snow Chaser with a smile on her face and opened the party invitation letter in the system to send to Snow Chaser. After Snow Chaser received it, she immediately clicked the yes option.
There was also a new title on her head that appeared — West Wind Knight Member from Carefree Dream’s Squad.”
She was very happy to see the newly earned title.
As for Clutch King, who had been silent the whole time, he kept his head down and dared not to look at Li Yi. Li Yi slowly walked over to Clutch King’s side and gently patted him on the shoulder.
“It’s a good thing that you can recognize your own shortcomings. In the future, if we work hard together, you just might end up becoming the strongest out of us all.”
Even though he was ranked behind him. Clutch King looked at Li Yi with deep affection. Although Li Yi’s words did not have much meaning, it was seen as an encouragement to Clutch King. Sometimes, for him, it was just a simple sentence that was more than anything else.
Clutch King’s heart trembled slightly, and he nodded his head.
“I guess…”
Li Yi smiled. He opened the system interface and sent the squad invitation letter to Clutch King.
After Clutch King accepted it, the title West Wind Knight Member from Carefree Dream’s Squad appeared above his head.
Li Yi told the two of them to hide their title, otherwise, it would be too obvious for others to attack, and it was better to keep a low profile in Divine Revelation.
