Chapter 274
Adventure, exploration, research, investigating, and scouting—these were all words with different ether in one category There was one word that could encapsulate all those different words at once: expedition The act of going far away to fight for a goal
It was i on an exploration’ and ‘going on an expedition’ Compared to an expedition, an exploration happened frequently and on smaller scales On the other hand, an expedition was usually done by a specific number of people above a certain tier and happened rarely In accordance with this, Chi-Hyun had suold tier and above since the tea on some small exploration in the vicinity of the city, but an expedition, which they had to pour a lot of ti not anyone could do
But there was one important point to focus on here Currently, hu itself in the holy city, Shalyh, and was acknowledged by the Cassiubia League Humanity wasn’t a proper fourth faction on Liber yet, but with the way things were progressing, it appeared they would soon become a force that could exert considerable influence across the planet While they were still working hard to reach this goal, though, the level of authority a faction wielded wasn’t infinite Like money and merits, it could also run out Thus, this expedition could be called a test of sorts for humanity It was a test to see whether humanity could establish itself as a powerful faction and had the qualifications to wield greater authority than others
After Chi-Hyun blatantly told the attendees of the recentto their accomplishments, no one could afford to miss this opportunity Yet Chi-Woo felt a bit wary about the whole thing Though he had experience being part of an expedition, he was only a participant before This ti fro what to do, Chi-Woo got a e from someone
[Apoline Yelodi Afrilith -> (Received): hello Is this Mr Choi Chi-Woo?]
[Apoline Yelodi Afrilith -> (Received): Did you think about the offer I made you last time?]
[Apoline Yelodi Afrilith -> (Received): hello? Are you there?]
Chi-Woo thought positively of Apoline’s suggestion to collaborate Apoline was a ician, and the presence of a ed an expedition teay coician at her level There was the deal with her family, but he had also personally witnessed her skills in the expedition against Zepar He i which he heard several new pieces of information
“The Ho Lactea has no desire to participate in this expedition”
“Is that so?”
“Yes I don’t know the details, but it see on separately the whole ti influence without playing on the stage that the legend set up for us” In other words, Nangnang would not participate in this expedition, either Chi-Woo was especially disappointed to hear this If Nangnang joined theotten a hero to act as the head of the tea to fulfill such an important role
“Yeriel’s and Eh they, and truthfully, I too, want to create our separate expedition teaend’s scheme to provoke competition between us?”
“There’s that too, but I ah our situation is better than before, I worry that their tiers aren’t high enough”
Though their tiers were nothing to scoff at, it sounded inadequate co that the Nahla couldn’t do a thing, and above all, it was Mr Ismile, who stands at the top of his family Even if he doesn’t have a deno to hear the news If we just scrape together a teareed, ill not only fail in our mission, but die too”
It seehts had received quite the shock hearing about Ismile’s failure The situation really did see their and his ht too That’s e ai to weaken us if we coainst each other when there’s so much competition already”
“There is more competition besides us?”
“Huh? Didn’t you hear that the legend shared the growth systeue?”
Chi-Woo realized then that this was sierous treasure box It was a rare and valuable opportunity to earn merits and proue wouldn’t also be drooling over this opportunity when they were using the saood Thank you for working with us Then I guess we can say we’ve decided on four —no, Emmanuel” Apoline cleared her throat and continued, “And Mr Ru Amuh will naturally join us… If it’s hilanced at Chi-Woo and asked, “For the priest role, will that pretty lady be fulfilling that position?”
“So she’s pretty even in your eyes, Ms Apoline?”
“…I acknowledge that she doesn’t look half-bad,” Apoline said coldly and turned away “Anyways, if it’s those two, I approve That leaves us to decide ould take thea useful warrior or ton’t hurt either”
“Is there anyone you’ve been considering?” Chi-Woo asked hopefully
“It won’t be hard to find one…but honestly, after seeing that cat, everyone else pales in co on the table “So, I was planning to leave the decision to you”
“Sorry?”
“Yeriel and Eree I already asked them, and they told me they would respect your decision”
With this, Chi-Woo realized that Apoline, Yeriel, and Eive Chi-Woo the position of leader Perhaps it was the value of the Choi farateful that they cleanly resolved a matter that could’ve been sensitive later on for him, but his shoulders felt heavy
“I understand I will try to find one”
“I’uide The guide is the one ill lead us into death or survival”
Chi-Woo’s conversation with Apoline ended there He promised to contact her when all the members of the expedition team were decided and parted ith her, yet he didn’t i what he heard for a while Like Apoline told hiuide for the expedition, but he didn’t knohere he would find the right one
“Ah” It was then a good idea popped into his head, and Chi-Woo shot to his feet with a loud sto for one particular man, Eval Sevaru
“Yo! Boss!”
“It’s been a while How have you been?”
“You know, same as usual But I heard that you’ve accomplished quite soe of greetings, the two immediately dived into the main topic Chi-Woo explained the situation to hiuide to us I will co that he would be generously coether
“Okay! You’ve coht person I’ about?”
“Hm I’m also not exactly certain of that I suppose I can’t just say that I want the very best Let me explain the situation to you in more detail”
“That suits h he see, he looked more astounded the more he heard Chi-Woo out
“W-What? Three Celestial Lights?” He stared at Chi-Woo dumbfoundedly “Um…if that’s the sort of qualifications…”
“Do you think you can find one?”
Eval’s response changed He seemed to hesitate and looked reluctant “I could find soather a couple heroes, and you can decide for yourself like last tiood Why don’t we do that?” Chi-Woo immediately responded, and Eval flinched
“What? Aren’t you trusting sonang thanks to you And I benefited from you plenty of other times as well”
“That’s because…it was different that tiood eye, Mr Eval Sevaru”
Eval fell into silence His expression see time until he murmured, “Ah dahed heavily and said in a serious tone he had used only on occasions before, “Listen to me carefully froood offer fora couple of ‘okay’ heroes to you and take the coood for the team or not”
Chi-Woo was a bit taken aback by how serious Eval suddenly became
“But if I were you and heard what I just said, I wouldn't look for a hero here”
