My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 310 - 189: Nightmare Blade

Courtyard.

Noticing the arrival of outsiders, Meredith paused her demonstration, glanced at the members of the Giant Blade Squad, and then looked at Raine inquiringly, as if asking, ’Are they friends?’

Raine nodded and smiled at Schneider and his group, saying, "Please, come in."

Soon, the members of the Giant Blade Squad were ushered into the house, and everyone gathered in the living room, with a solid wood coffee table in the center.

Compared to before, Raine could sense that the members of the Giant Blade Squad including Schneider occasionally glanced at Meredith, and they seemed somewhat reserved.

"Mr. Rein, do you remember the time when we teamed up to kill the Mutated Ice Spirit with your help?" Schneider spoke, having calmed the shock in his heart.

"Of course, Captain Schneider. Are you targeting the Ice Spirit again for this mission?" Upon hearing Schneider’s question, Raine immediately thought of it and asked with interest.

He was quite interested if the target was the Ice Spirit.

For a considerable time in the past, the Monster Skill provided by the Mutated Ice Spirit greatly enhanced his power.

If he had the chance to kill a few more Ice Spirits and integrate them, he might fuse some skills he was interested in.

However, even the bloodline of the fused Mutated Ice Spirit was unlikely to replace the Frost Giant’s.

Additionally, his purpose on this trip to the Lankote Snowfield was to see if he could find the subsequent exclusive Combat Skills from the Frost Spell monsters.

In this regard, the value of the Frost Giant far exceeds that of the Mutated Ice Spirit.

"That’s right, Mr. Rein. After I submitted the crystal core of the Mutated Ice Spirit last time, I thought the task was over."

"But a couple of days ago, the mission’s commissioning party contacted me through the Adventurer’s Association. The gist is that they are very interested in the Mutated Crystal Core after testing, and they hope our squad can continue to help collect Ice Spirit Crystal Cores."

"For this, the commissioning party is willing to increase the reward by twenty percent and release an exclusive commission, with the more crystal cores, the better." Schneider rubbed his hands together eagerly, looking at Raine.

Upon hearing this, Raine nodded, immediately understanding why Schneider was eager to collaborate with him this time—shiny gold coins.

After all, who doesn’t love money?

Especially the high-spending adventurers.

As for the exclusive commission, having experienced the previous Emerald Pearl incident, Raine was quite familiar with it.

"Captain Schneider, please continue." Raine smiled and gestured with his hand.

Seeing Raine’s interested expression, Schneider also became excited; he had worried before coming whether Raine would refuse, but now it seemed that Raine was equally interested.

He quickly said, "However, the location the commissioning party mentioned is a bit deeper into the Lankote Snowfield, requiring about two days of travel."

"The distance, while not reaching deep into the snowfield, still raises concerns about encountering over six Winter Wolves or other snowfield monsters above Challenge Level 5."

As Schneider spoke, he pulled a sheepskin scroll from his pocket and spread it on the table.

The scroll revealed a map of the Lankote Snowfield, even marking Mill Town at the bottom, making it convenient for users to gauge distances directly.

At the very top of the map, the northmost point, Raine even saw a large Frost Giant settlement named Frost Hammer Fortress.

Additionally, some areas were labeled, like common areas for Winter Wolf Pack activities and wandering Ice Owl Bears, etc.

"Schneider, you’ve done quite a thorough preparation; this map isn’t one made by the association, right?"

Hearing Raine’s commendation, Schneider felt quite pleased and laughed heartily:

"This map cost me quite a bit of money and effort, and I adjusted it based on previously investigated updates."

"I dare say this is one of the newest Lankote Snowfield maps available on the market."

With a serious expression, he said, "Mr. Rein, here is our destination."

"From what I heard from a friend, the chance of encountering Ice Spirits in this area is higher compared to other locations."

Raine looked at where Schneider’s finger pointed, which was roughly at one-third left side of the Lankote Snowfield, marked by a circle.

"Why are there more Ice Spirits there? Do you know the reason?"

"Uh, that I’m not sure about. Although this spot is marked as a point on the map, its range covers the entire Mill Town; once we arrive, we’ll have to search as well."

Raine glanced again at the point where Ice Spirits emerged, almost directly on the line connecting Mill Town and Frost Hammer Fortress.

This meant after teaming up with the Giant Blade Squad to kill the Ice Spirits, he could go straight to Frost Hammer Fortress without detouring.

This was indeed something good.

"When do we set out?" Raine asked.

"Once Miss Elise returns, we’ll set off immediately, alright?" Schneider added, "Recently, I’ve heard others are also inquiring about the places in the Lankote Snowfield where the Ice Spirits are numerous."

"I suspect the commissioning party might have approached more than just our squad."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Raine raised an eyebrow, seeming to ponder something, and asked, "One more question, Schneider, who is the commissioning party?"
