Chapter 260: Sanctuary Center (3)
Chapter 260: Sanctuary Center (3)
"According to the brief description of the survivors, the outer areas of the ruins are filled with many guards, many traps, and many primary-level professional monsters."
"Combining the strength of local adventurers, we will focus on junior adventurers and mid- to high-level apprentices."
"Risk assessment here: extremely high."
"Ok?"
"Is this all that was recorded?"
When Deckard said this, he was obviously dissatisfied with the previously recorded intelligence.
"Based on the intelligence, if it's just this level, based on the current rating of the Kaidra checkpoint, it's at most a high level."
"It seems that some of the content is a bit outdated."
Deckard made two more comments shortly before taking out another document and reading it.
"A resting place for those who pray."
"This place is located deeper in the route of the Vanishing Basin, adjacent to the center of the Sanctuary."
"*** Team No. 2, the sole survivor of a group nearly wiped out at the Sanctuary Center, has achieved a breakthrough to the level of a Junior Professional after years of adventuring."
"To avenge the past, the survivors, along with a new team of seven junior professionals, headed to the center of the Sanctuary."
"Due to the length of time, the survivors misremembered the entrance and entered the resting place for worshippers next door, which is always open."
"The team was surrounded by a large number of guardian monsters outside the ruins."
"Because there were mid-level professionals among the besieging monsters, the team quickly suffered heavy losses and fled."
"In the end, the original survivors died, and only two team members survived."
"Risk assessment here: extremely high."
Soon, Deckard finished reading another piece of intelligence.
"Tsk tsk, I've seen people courting death, but I've never seen anyone do it like this."
"You went to the wrong house and got yourself killed."
After hearing this, Chief Qiu couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"The rating of this place is pretty normal now, so there's no need to adjust it."
On the other side, Deckard habitually evaluated the ratings.
"All the information is here. The next thing to consider is how to act."
After sharing the information, Deckard began to think about how to act. Deckard also knew that one person's shortcomings were better than two people's, so he directly stated his next move and asked everyone if they had any new opinions.
"President Deckard, please leave this matter to our team."
As soon as Deckard finished speaking, Angelica responded.
"Let's put it this way. The cause of this incident is due to our team's imperfect work."
"Regarding the current situation inside the level."
"High-level professionals are either busy with their own forces or guarding against the Red Legion's attack."
"And the other adventurers inside the level are completely no match for our team."
"Of course, more importantly."
"Every step of this journey must be done with precision. If something unexpected happens there, our mission to save the Kaidra checkpoint will be a failure."
"At this time, we must ensure that everyone's retreat is properly arranged."
Angelica thought about it and found several reasons to respond to Deckard.
"Under the current circumstances, your team doesn't need to take the blame."
"Not only are you not at fault regarding the Road of No Return, you've even made contributions and passed the level."
"It's just that under the current circumstances, the Adventurer's Guild is temporarily unable to provide relevant rewards."
Regarding what Angelica said, Deckard denied the above statement.
"Since President Deckard said so."
"Then I'll give up on the original reason, but I'll add a new one."
"Our team brought us the intelligence on the Vanishing Basin. The subsequent operations should naturally be handed over to us first."
"I don't want the team's credit to be shared by others."
Soon, Angelica said to Deckard in a joking tone.
Angelica also had an unspoken reason in mind. Throughout their journey, most of the team members had relied on killing high-strength monsters to rapidly increase their levels. The Holy Heaven was located in the central region of the continent, and the monsters nearby were also stronger than those in the checkpoints.
When the level was over, everyone would go to Holy Heaven to fight. Angelica was trying to find a way to improve the team's strength as much as possible.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you guys to handle."
"Inside the level, we should continue preparations for evacuation."
With Angelica's reminder, Deckard also remembered the importance of retreat. In the end, Deckard agreed with Angelica's opinion.
"In that case, let's go back and prepare to set off again."
Seeing that Deckard agreed, Angelica prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"Wait a moment."
"You've been busy for so long, you should rest for a night before setting off again."
"Although the situation is urgent, the barrier of the level can still hold for a long time."
"There's absolutely no need for your team to work themselves to death."
After hearing Angelica's words, Deckard started to persuade her directly.
"President Deckard is right."
"You should go back and rest first."
"Since you brought me back my teacher's relics, if there's any problem with the barrier, I can sponsor the barrier energy for another three days."
"This way, you'll have more time to solve the problem."
At this time, Tina also came out of her sadness. She spoke out to help Angelica with some of the things she was worried about.
"Thanks to Master Tina's help, the evacuation of the level will be safer now."
Deckard knew that the above was Tina's reward for Angelica's help, but the biggest beneficiary was actually him. Deckard did not complain, why didn't Tina help more and extend the barrier's time. So, Deckard thanked her again.
After listening to this, Tina nodded and left the hall.
On the other side, Angelica also left first.
"Ah~"
"After walking around, it's best if I can't help at all."
Except for the Adventurer's Guild, Comerina yawned and the whole group couldn't help but complain dejectedly.
"Comerina, I'm in the same boat with you."
"Ah~"
After hearing this, Chief Qiu also sighed.
"Okay, stop talking."
“Everyone is equally tired.”
"Let's go back to the guild and get some sleep."
After being told so many things by Comerina and Qiu Qiu, Angelica also felt mentally exhausted.
"By the way, should we return Algerta's necklace on the way?"
After walking a few steps, Qiu Chief and his two companions came to the small bridge in the checkpoint. Qiu Chief then remembered something and asked.
"At this point, Algerta is probably asleep."
"If we wake up that annoying David, things will be even worse."
“It’s a headache just thinking about it.”
In response to Chief Qiu's inquiry, Angelica directly found two reasons and refused.
"Also, we have to go to other places near the Vanishing Basin."
"The barrier on this necklace can last for a while."
"If we encounter monsters chasing us on the way, we can hide in there for a while."
Angelica's thoughts turned, and she thought of a valid reason, so she added.
