The Genius Mage

Audrey casually exchanged a few words with the two of them before going to bed to rest.

The next day.

Audrey was walking toward the Knights as the doubts on her face grew. Usually, there were not many people in the Knights at this time of the day. However, everyone seemed to be in a hurry today. Did something significant happen?

Audrey was puzzled, but she did not stop. She was looking for Kate and the others.

However, as soon as she reached the courtyard gate, she saw Kate and the others walking out in a hurry. When they saw her, they immediately came forward.

“What happened?” Audrey asked with a puzzled look, frowning slightly.

“You still don’t know?” Klein also showed a surprised look and said anxiously, “The entire Knights know about this.”

“The Knights Legion has issued a reward mission. If it succeeds, everyone will get 100 points, so everyone is fighting to get it.” Kate helped explain, and Audrey finally understood. No wonder everyone was in such a hurry early in the morning.

“What mission is it? With so many people fighting for it, can we get it?” Audrey thought for a moment and asked thoughtfully. 100 points, she was naturally moved.

Her words stunned the others. They only knew that there was a mission, but they did not know what it was.

“We don’t know much about it, so we’re planning to go to the mission hall to find out more. Since you’re here, let’s go together,” Hobart said.

Audrey nodded and followed the others to the mission hall.

The usually quiet mission hall was now bustling with people. It was very noisy. As such, they could not get any news.

Audrey frowned and was about to think of a way to meet Cali when he walked out. Instead, he cleared his throat and said to the crowd, “Everyone, please calm down. Keep quiet. I’ll tell you the details of the bounty mission.”

The anxious people in the hall instantly quieted down, waiting for Cali to continue. “This bounty mission is to go to the polar glaciers and find the blazing flame beast. Then, retrieve the treasure it stole, the frost bead, and return it to the villagers nearby.

“The frost bead has always been a treasure for the residents of the polar glaciers. It helps them absorb the cold and makes their living environment warmer. Now that the frost bead is gone, the residents near the polar glaciers are suffering from the cold and hunger.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to discuss in whispers.

“This is the first time I’ve heard of the frost bead,” Klein said curiously.

However, this item was not unfamiliar to Audrey. In her previous life, she had one. The blazing flame beast had stolen the frost bead, so it must have been useful.

However, the blazing flame beast was irritable and persistent. It was not something that could be discussed easily. This time, it was not going to be simple.

“This mission isn’t simple. Are you sure you want to go?” Audrey asked cautiously.

She wanted to go for some experiential training, but she was afraid that her teammates would not be able to adapt to the climate of the polar glaciers.

“Let’s go!” A few of her teammates answered in unison, causing Audrey to be taken aback. She could not help but laugh. It seemed like her teammates’ risk-taking hearts were already boiling.

At this moment, Cali’s words rang in her ears again. “This mission has a long way to go. There are certain requirements for the participants. Each team needs to have at least five people, and they must have obtained more than ten training seals.”

Hearing this, Klein immediately said happily, “We have more than ten.”

Audrey nodded, thinking about the seals that she had already obtained. There were more than ten of them. The Elder said that this setting was probably to get rid of those inexperienced teams so that they would not be in danger in the polar glaciers.

Many teams that did not meet the requirements sighed and left. The hall suddenly became much more spacious, and the air became smoother.

“The remaining teams, come and register.” Cali looked at the few of them before finally looking at Audrey with a smile in his eyes.

He had quite a deep impression of Audrey. There was only one girl in a team and they always listened to her. It was the Dragon Slaying Squad.

“Elder, we need to register.” Taking this opportunity, Audrey stepped forward.

Some teams that did not have enough people had gathered their numbers on the spot. Only the Dragon Slaying Squad registered directly.

“After registering, come and gather in the afternoon. Prepare some things to use when you go,” the Elder instructed considerately.

“Thank you, Elder.” Audrey nodded and left with her teammates.

After walking out of the mission hall, a few of them went back to prepare their things. When Audrey was halfway there, she suddenly felt a strong aura that seemed to appear behind her.

“Come out.” Audrey stopped and her tone was cold. She had thought that it was an enemy, but Audrey was already prepared to attack. When she turned around, she realized that it was Shadowless Ghost Hand.

She was stunned for a moment, and a hint of doubt flashed across her brows.

“Miss Audrey, the City Lord invites you over.” Shadowless Ghost Hand walked forward and said in a low voice. That was a voice that only experts could have. Just by relying on his voice, he could give people a sense of intimidation.

Audrey only felt that it sounded a little awkward. There was nothing else. Although she did not know why Lance was looking for her, Audrey still decisively went to the City Lord’s manor.

When Audrey went over, Lance was in the study. She gently knocked on the door, and an extremely pleasant voice came from inside. “Come in.”

Audrey gently twisted the handle, opened the door, and walked in. At the same time, the corners of her mouth curled into a playful smile as she said, “I thought the City Lord wanted me to come here to put on another show.”
