Chapter 293 Commission
Three months later.

Burning Embers Kingdom, Northwind Castle, Magic Office.

"Master Mage, you must rescue my husband. He has been missing in the maze for three days! I am willing to do everything I can."

The simply dressed woman knelt in front of Charlotte, clutching his trouser legs tightly, crying with tears in her eyes.

The task panel appeared in front of him.

【Explore the maze】

[Mission description: Underground businessman Cruz mysteriously disappeared in the cave. This was originally a shortcut for his smuggling, but due to a mistake in triggering a mechanism, it turned into a terrible maze. There seemed to be unknown monsters howling in the maze.]
Reward: 5 gold coins, unknown experience
Charlotte scratched her head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's take on this task."

The reward for this mission is only five gold coins. If more people are sent out, the reward may not be enough to cover the cost of the mission. However, for the sake of experience, Charlotte still decided to take on this mission.

Now, three months have passed since the server was launched, and as a powerful wizard clan, [Magic Coin] has naturally attracted many new players, and the size of the guild has expanded unprecedentedly, reaching as many as 300 people. And the most scarce thing is experience.

Most of the new players are still at level two or three, which is a big gap from the old players in the beta test. Charlotte himself has reached level six, so he will not miss any opportunity to let the new members of the guild improve their level, just as an experience.

"Thank you, sir, thank you."

The woman knelt on the ground, crying until her voice was hoarse.

Charlotte quickly helped him up. As a player from modern society, he was still not used to such naked hierarchical order.

However, this was equally incredible to the woman because she was not a native of North Wind Castle.

Spellcasters are high and mighty everywhere in the North. Even the nobles treat them as guests of honor. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people like her to get help from a wizard.

But now, the residents who have lived in North Wind Castle for a long time have long been accustomed to the assistance of these "special" spellcasters. Sometimes they even entrust the search for lost cats and dogs to the magic office. Magic has become more and more integrated into their lives and is no longer as out of reach as before.

Charlotte opened the panel and sent a group message in the forum's new feature "Guild Group".

Charlotte: Come and take the mission! Experience mission, not much gold, here is an internal test player to lead three newbies. "

Charlotte: Lonely as snow, come along too.

Lonely as snow:?
Flying Witch: Hehe, let me lead the team this time! ヾ(*▽'*)

As soon as the message was sent out, an internal test player responded to the call—it was the "famous" Flying Witch in the guild.

Suddenly, there was silence in the group.

No new player dared to speak up anymore, for fear of being targeted by the Flying Witch.

Last time, it was this wild warlock who took six inexperienced newcomers to explore the dungeon. The mission was originally planned to be completed easily, but was put in danger by the Flying Witch.

The Stinking Cloud triggered by her magic wave almost wiped out the entire team. The video was posted on the forum in a thread called "Wild Warlock's Charming Moment" and is still circulating among players.

Flying Witch: Oh, is the group so quiet? Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Lonely as Snow: President, can I withdraw this time?

Charlotte: No.

Charlotte: Let Ou Huang go with you, and there is also Jiuli. Don’t even think about running away, as you two have the least experience.

European Emperor:?
Jiuli:? ?

European Emperor: President, let us go on a mission with the witch sister, are you sure we are not going to give ourselves away? Charlotte: Two level 2 noobs, there is no point in staying here, why not take a gamble, or I will send you to the mines to be slaves.

Lonely as Snow: What about me? I have passed the Level 4 exam!

Charlotte: I trust you more. You are the strong meat shield of this team, no, the backup.

Flying Witch: Then let's get ready to go! ()
Lonely as snow:.
Just like that, under Charlotte's compulsory request, a team of four was finally gathered together.

The team has a paladin, two negligible mages, and a high-level wild warlock. It can be said to be a very wild configuration.

Lonely Ruxue stood at the door fully armed. He was wearing heavy gold armor and holding a huge silver shield. He looked like a human armored vehicle. However, passers-by were not surprised by his attire. After all, he was a starfaller who could not be judged by common sense. They had even seen him naked.

"Ugh."

"I always feel like I've been cheated—"

The face under the helmet is as lonely as snow and has no tears.

He originally entered this game because he wanted to become a brave warrior who could fight against all kinds of monsters, but now he is stuck on the path of being a meat shield and cannot turn back.

As a Crown Oath Paladin carefully cultivated by [Magic Coin], he not only chooses defense as his combat expertise, but can also use divine power to force the enemy into a single duel so that his teammates can output damage.

At level 5, he even unlocks the magical skill "Guardian Link", which allows him to share the damage of his teammates. Coupled with the indestructible adamantium heavy armor, regardless of whether he enjoys the game or not, he has indeed achieved the ultimate in team functionality. No wonder Charlotte attaches so much importance to him.

"Hello! You're here quite early!"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen this time!"

The clear voice of the Flying Witch sounded, and she came over skipping and patted Lonely as Snow's shoulder, looking like she was in a good mood.

A helpless bitter smile appeared on Lonely as Snow's face under the helmet. This "senior" player with a sweet appearance and dressed like a magical girl seemed like a devil to him at this moment - after all, she was a being who could destroy all her own team with just a spell.

"Hello, you guys."

Not long after, two mage players in rough robes also hurried over, but they both had sad faces and stammered, not knowing what to say.

They all owed a lot of debts from opening boxes, and were eventually accepted into the guild by Charlotte out of "kindness". They were so busy paying off their debts every day that they had no time to kill monsters and level up. They were nicknamed the "African Duo" by players in the same guild.

But just like there are usually five of the Four Heavenly Kings, the African duo also has a hidden member, their guild leader Charlotte, but they all talk about it in private, fearing that the leader’s fragile mind will suffer secondary trauma.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off together! Our destination is the underground maze!"

The Flying Witch's energetic voice sounded.

"I must let the newcomers see how reliable I am as a senior!"

She clenched her fists and made a secret decision in her heart.

This was her second time taking newcomers out on a mission, and there couldn't be any mistakes.

"Yes"

Three voices sounded at the same time, but they seemed a little weak.
