My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 235 - 159: The Name of Warhammer (Part 3)

Benest’s face was radiant with a smile as he poured tea for the hooded lady in front of him, a short-haired, blond heavy armor shield warrior, and another middle-aged man dressed like a priest.

"Benest, long time no see."

As she spoke, Colonel Tessa lifted her hood, revealing a beautiful face of about thirty years old.

"However, this time I am not just here to help."

"You know my duty, and coincidentally, I have a mission this time."

"Perfect timing, we can join forces."

Perhaps because of her long-term work in the Soladin Kingdom Military Intelligence Ninth Bureau, despite her beauty, Tessa’s gaze was sharp, and her lips thin, giving an overly shrewd impression.

Hearing Tessa’s words, Elise, sitting beside Benest, was a little surprised and slightly turned her head to glance at Benest.

Benest also frowned slightly.

Because this was not in line with his previous thoughts.

"Let me introduce you; this is Knight Captain Weston Artix from Marquis Gareth. This is Olist, the clan priest of Marquis Gareth."

The short-haired, blond heavy armor shield warrior and the middle-aged priest both nodded toward Benest in acknowledgment.

"Governor Bornberry of Marquis Gareth?" Benest asked in surprise.

"Yes," Tessa nodded.

"Here’s the situation: a day after I replied to you, I received another support mission about the Valley of Dead Water from above."

"The second son of Marquis Gareth was captured by the necromancer Machir during an inspection outside of Bornberry and taken to the Valley of Dead Water."

"Rescue mission?" Benest couldn’t help but ask.

"No, it has been confirmed that the second young master is already dead. We are going this time to retrieve an important item from his body," Knight Captain Weston spoke for the first time, his expression serious.

"An important item?"

"I apologize, but since this item is very important to the Marquis, it’s temporarily confidential."

At this point, sensing the atmosphere was not quite amicable, Tessa smiled and interjected:

"This heirloom of the Gareth Marquis’ family appears to either be in the hands of the necromancer Machir or his master, the Mind Flayer."

"By the way, Benest, where are your teammates?" Tessa looked around at Benest, automatically bypassing Elise.

"Oh, it’s currently just Miss Elise and me. The other three have special matters at the moment, but they should arrive within two days," Benest explained.

Hmm?

Upon hearing Benest’s words, the three turned their gaze towards Priest Elise.

Tessa’s slender eyebrows couldn’t help but knit together.

And the knight captain Weston, with a stern expression, rather unfriendly, said:

"I’m sorry, Lord Benest. Your strength is undeniable, but if I’m not mistaken, this Miss Priestess’ classes level shouldn’t exceed two levels."

"This... is true."

"Forgive my bluntness, but this Miss Priestess doesn’t possess the necessary strength to venture into the Valley of Dead Water." Weston crossed his arms, slightly raising his chin, his aggressive gaze fixed directly on Elise.

Under the scrutinizing gaze of a Level 7 class, Elise’s delicate body trembled slightly.

At this moment, Benest leaned slightly to block Elise, saying:

"Here’s the thing, the adventurer squad that Miss Elise is part of helped me significantly not long ago, and Miss Elise’s teammates are quite strong, not beneath me."

"Oh? Is that so? May I ask the class and level of this teammate?" Weston’s momentum eased a bit as he asked.

"Well... Mr. Raine’s classes level is not high, only level two, but it’s a special class, and he’s very powerful." After considering it, Benest chose not to hide the information and introduced.

"Level two?" Weston scoffed.

"Even if it’s a special class, how strong could this Mr. Raine be at level two?"

"I’m also of a special class, but I didn’t find myself exceptionally strong at level two."

"Lord Weston, you’re too rude!" Elise couldn’t hold back any longer, pouting angrily.

"Lord Weston, I believe Benest wouldn’t lie," Tessa said, diffusing the situation.

"Alright! So where is this Mr. Raine?" Weston shrugged, appearing rather unimpressed.

Faced with this proud knight captain of the Marquis’ family, the typically amiable Benest also frowned and said:

"If nothing unexpected happened, Mr. Raine should have successfully acquired the ’Forbidden Magic Helmet’ and is now on his way back to Mill Town."

"What!"
