Stone well opening.

Blacksmith Winry, who always had spider silk tied to her wrist, suddenly felt a slight tug from the other end of the silk.

“Hmm! They’re back!”

Excited, Winry immediately yanked the spider silk with all her strength. freēnovelkiss.com

It was a hefty tug.

She pulled the ‘entire human thread’ straight out of the well.

The four people at the bottom of the well who had just grabbed the spider silk couldn’t resist this tremendous force, and their bodies were rapidly pulled upward.

They felt like they were on a roller coaster, shooting out of the well’s opening nearly ten meters high.

Mia quickly adjusted her center of gravity mid-air, spat out her spider silk to stick to a roof eave, and swung back smoothly to the ground, thanks to the pull of the silk.

Dumps used a kind of wind magic to reduce his falling speed, landing safely on the ground.

For Captain Abe, naturally, there was no need for concern. Such a height was nothing to him, requiring no deceleration measures, and he landed safely.

Only Han Dong wasn’t faring well.

“Ah! Deputy Leader!”

Blacksmith Winry, seeing her overenthusiastic mistake, let out a piercing scream.

She darted towards the predicted landing spot, looking at the deputy leader who lost balance in mid-air.

Splat…

She opened her robust arms that had distinct muscle lines and caught Han Dong firmly.

This typical princess carrying scenario looked a bit discordant.

Winry realized something was wrong and immediately put Han Dong down.

“I’m sorry! The spider silk had been cut for quite some time, Dawu and I were about to go down looking for you guys.

I didn’t expect the spider silk to respond suddenly, and I was so excited that I exerted too much force…Speaking of which, Deputy Leader, you are very light.”

“Heh…it’s fine.”

Blacksmith Winry looked a bit embarrassed, rubbing her hands nervously as she tried to probe:

“Deputy Captain, have you already figured out what’s going on in the well? Are we going to officially involve the [Black Hair in the Well] mission?”

“It’s been solved. Let’s go and complete the mission.”

“Ah!!” Winry exclaimed in surprise, “I thought this task was supposed to be difficult?”

Indeed.

Taking into account the time when Han Dong first went down the well alone to detect danger, to later when four people descended the well, it didn’t even amount to an hour.

Typically, such a high-difficulty task could take half a day.

Winry thought the captain and the deputy captain would explore the well space thoroughly.

Once the target was confirmed, they would regroup, with all six of them going down together to eliminate the source of the black hair… Winry also wanted to show off her usefulness as a ‘free person’. freewēbnoveℓ.com

“Winry, stop bothering the deputy captain… the success and efficiency of this mission are directly related to the deputy captain. Let him rest for a while.”

“Oh! Got it!”

They successfully resolved [Barber-Charlie].

After reuniting with Abe and Dumps, Han Dong intentionally exhibited an ‘exhausted after a big battle’ demeanor.

Abe wasn’t in a hurry to know the detailed process. He first let Han Dong rest properly, and they would have a detailed discussion once back at their residence.

As the group left the stone well area.

A dark figure emerged from the shadows, her face full of ‘perplexity.’

This person was Vulture.Kenny, assigned to ensure the squad’s safety.

He’d only peeked through an exterior door and saw Abe and Dumps fighting with the ‘black-haired creature.’

He couldn’t see the combat scene that had occurred deeper in.

Yet, the result was that the Crow Prophet’s student and another witch apprentice teamed up to kill the ‘Advanced Evil’ and complete the task… The total fight time was precisely half an hour.

“What background does this student have?

The special artificial eye on his brow should be related to stitching and astrology… Most of his efforts are spent on these two subjects, along with the need to concentrate a large part of his energy on observing this eye.

His fighting ability should not be strong.

Could it be that this student of the Witch-Kaylonia has a strong fighting strength? They worked together, one observing the weaknesses of the Evil and restraining its pollution, and the other directly confronting the barber?

No… in terms of combat strength, none of the students of this generation should be able to surpass Abe.

In the situation of being in the opponent’s territory, even if it were seniors, it would take a lot of effort to kill this Hairdresser.

This student of the Crow Prophet certainly hides some secrets…Otherwise, he would not make such a dangerous decision of infiltrating the Hairdresser’s hideout.

Am I too short-sighted? No wonder Captain Kaimon specifically pointed out for this person to be the vice-captain and staff officer, assisting Abe… this student is worth my serious observation.”

Having experienced this Black Hair event,

Kenny’s view on Han Dong changed dramatically, and his attention had heightened as well.

Inside an old house in the Wheat Field District.

Han Dong handed over a strand of black hair taken from inside Barber-Charlie.

The task recipient, Bardot Viratty, looked astonished, she couldn’t believe that these kids had completed the three-star difficulty task so quickly.

And moreover, of the six-member team, none were injured or significantly affected by the pollution.

“You guys…”

Bardot’s eyes rested on the mysterious apprentice, who had firmly chosen the Stone Well task but who was currently a bit weak and tired.

“Aunt Bardot, can you give us the other two basic tasks as well?” Abe asked.

“Okay…”

This time, Bardot didn’t ask too many questions and handed over the mission scrolls of ‘The Strange ‘Apple Tree” and ‘Disoriented Scarecrow’.

“Once you have completed the three tasks I’ve provided, come and collect the rewards together.

I believe the vice-captain in your team has already noticed that the tasks in the ‘Wheat Field District’ that I’m responsible for are interrelated to some extent.

When the three clues are combined, you should be able to deduce an ‘hidden path’ to exploring Stuart Manor.”

“Okay!”

The group left the old wooden house.

Abe asked with concern: “Nicholas, do you want to go back to the residence area and rest a bit? We can start a surface investigation on these two basic tasks first, and once you have rested enough, you can join us. We can then handle it together.

Considering our progress is the fastest among all the teams, we should have enough time.”

However, Han Dong refused: “No need… I’m just a bit tired, I will rest a bit during the investigation.

I believe it is necessary to seize the time at the beginning of the training.

The progress of the senior teams is also not slow. According to my observations, at least three teams, like us, have completed the first task.

Especially in the basic task stage, because the number of tasks provided by NPCs is limited.

If we fail to obtain sufficient task information rewards, we will not be able to carry out the next step of in-depth investigation.

Let’s arrange it like this next.

You, Dumps, and Dawu will form one team.

You are responsible for investigating the scarecrow problem in the wheat field area… I guess the movement of the scarecrow has something to do with the secrets hidden in the land. Dumps should be able to figure it out quickly.

I’ll team up with Mia and Winry to find the ‘Apple Tree’.

This kind of searching task will give me enough time to rest during the search.”

“You’ve got the two cute girls on your team, that’s a bit unfair, isn’t it?” Abe jested.

“Haha…” Han Dong had an awkward laugh, he had no ulterior motives, he just allocated based on the task compatibility.

“Just kidding, let’s do as you suggested! You have to take good care of the two girls… contact us anytime if you need help.

Let’s try to solve all the tasks in the ‘Wheat Field District’ today.”
