Chapter Ninety-six is a bit of an eyesore

  Mediocre god was there, but Odell and Kelvin were dumbfounded after listening to Iron Shield Hook's introduction.

  Contribution points? Redemption list?

  These things are beyond their comprehension, and they can't even imagine that so many adventurers would flock to them, even going so far as to challenge the extremely dangerous adult beetles.

  Their rookie appearance was seen by other adventurers and instantly triggered a wave of good-natured teasing.

  Iron Hulk gazed at the two with a benevolent gaze, took advantage of the opportunity to grab the half-elf's small hand and pinched it several times. Only then did he say seriously: "You'd better go to the War Hall in the central city district. Once you're there, you'll naturally understand. I have to go submit my quest, this time I can probably get around 500 or so, but if I'm late, even with contribution points, I'm afraid someone else will exchange for that shield I want first!"

  Tie Dun finished speaking, and with a wave of his large hand, the group of people immediately charged into the city with lightning speed and strong winds, leaving behind only a trail of smoke that lingered on the streets for a long time.

  Odelle simply stared blankly, not even noticing that the other person had taken advantage of the situation to wipe a small amount of oil off themselves. According to the half-elf's usual temperament, she would have probably flipped out already, but now, she couldn't muster up any thoughts at all.

  "Let's go take a look at the Great Hall of Conquest." Kael said immediately, Odelle woke up from her dream and nodded hastily.

  In the heart of the lower city, at the intersection of several main streets, a massive building stands tall, entirely constructed from granite stones, with thick pillars and a grand entrance that evokes a sense of savagery from a bygone era, yet exudes an aura of ancient reverence, like a giant beast from a distant past.

  This is the Conquest Hall.

  Midi couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic smile - this hall was absolutely to Fiona's taste.

  Since this most important building was built according to the will of the Bullet Queen, it is estimated that somewhere there must be a building full of mysterious atmosphere like the Witch's Mansion, which is Alice's masterpiece.

  He is getting more and more excited.

  In the midst of the grand hall, Midee saw what he had been looking for - the task list and exchange list, the core of the entire Falcon Team.

  On both sides of the grand hall, there were two enormous magical stone slabs. One was the task list, which listed various tasks and their corresponding contribution points, updated in real-time. On the other side was the coveted redemption list, where Midy saw many precious weapons from the Asreix family's inventory, apparently all taken out by Fiona to lure people in.

  Lotte must be feeling really terrible right now?

  Thinking of the old butler's pale face as he watched the family treasures being taken out one by one to be exchanged, Midy couldn't help but smile wryly.

  Fortunately, I obtained the complete inheritance of the Elf King's Court this time. Those treasures are absolutely not something that a count's family can accumulate in hundreds of years. Any one of them is enough to shock the noble circle. If put on the exchange list, Middy has confidence to attract even adventurers from the Delos Empire.

  Moreover, at the very top of the exchange list, there is a line of exceptionally clear text.

  When the cumulative contribution points reach 1000 points, you will be eligible to apply for the Peregrine Team's entry test.

  The crimson words, at the very top of all weapons, armor, and medicine, as if they were the ruler of the world, gazing down at the adventurers coming and going, like the ultimate goal of adventure itself.

  "1000 contribution points just to join the group?" Odelle took a light breath, she still remembered that earlier Iron Shield Hork and his party of high-level adventurers spent a lot of effort killing those many Corpse Wasp, but they only got 500 contribution points per person.

  "It's not joining the team, just having test qualifications." Calvin corrected in a low voice.

  Accumulating 1000 contribution points just for a chance to take the entrance test, and still possibly not qualify. How hard is it to get into this team?

  Looking at the row of numbers, under which were all sorts of weapons and equipment that left room for rumors, Odelle suddenly discovered that the formal invitation sent by Midi was much heavier than she had imagined!

  Although Odell thought that she had to accumulate 1000 contribution points and spend a lot of time to achieve it, Mide's invitation was not for individuals, but for the entire team. This means that the forty or so people from the Morning Star Mercenary Team, as well as the two hundred or more adventurers from the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Team, could become members of the Falcon Team with just one sentence!

  Just by looking at how many adventurers are flocking to the Eagle's Nest, it's clear that this is an invaluable invitation.

  "What do you think of Eagle's Nest? Are you having fun?" Suddenly, a clear and pleasant yet slightly cold voice slowly rang out.

  The next moment, everyone turned their eyes at the same time, a head of bright red hair like autumn maple leaves in Vermont, a quiet black robe like blooming water lilies, suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

  Fiona Hamilton and Alice Otterloop have arrived at the Great Hall.

  The red-haired girl and the black-haired girl, as soon as they appeared, immediately caused a commotion around them, but then, when Fiona signaled for quiet, the hall instantly became so silent that even the sound of a needle dropping to the ground could be heard.

  From extreme noise to extreme quiet, this proves that Fina Hamilton has established an extraordinary reputation among these unruly and self-righteous adventurers.

  This is by no means the credit of the surname "Hamilton", on the contrary, a noble surname will only make grassroots adventurers more sensitive, and every move may be interpreted as arrogance and condescension.

  This is not the influence that can be brought about by the aura and demeanor of a "superior", perhaps ordinary people who lack power may revere nobles, servants who have entered a wealthy family may feel afraid, but for high-level adventurers, they are actually the ones who lack reverence.

  The adventures of his past life made Midee extremely clear that in order to make adventurers admire him, the only way was to show absolute power.

  But in order for them to be willing to carry out tasks and be willing to believe in guarantees, it is also necessary to achieve true fairness and human feelings!

  No matter which factor, it is necessary to accumulate and verify for a long time.

  However, Fiona did it in just one month.

  No, it's precisely because she is Fiona, the Bullet Queen, a natural-born leader and the former captain of the Hawk's Squad that this miracle was possible in this life, gathering so many adventurers together.

  She's really Finna, she's really my Finna.

  Midi thought to himself, intently gazing at the red-haired beauty he hadn't seen in a month, who seemed even more lovely now. A bright smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

  So this bastard still has me in his mind?

  Fina thought to herself.

  These days, Fiona's mood has been fluctuating greatly.

  In order to make the exchange list attractive enough, she not only emptied out all of Asurekusu family's stock but also put up her own private money. The things on Alice's side were too precious and couldn't be used, resulting in a disconnection of supplies, frequent financial difficulties, and even a situation where bankruptcy was imminent.

  Many nobles of the Principality of Bellmare fell, and some were exterminated, but none went bankrupt.

  If the Ashlex family really went bankrupt because of Fiona, then that's going too far.

  So, Madam Bullet's recent mood is quite irritable.

  At last, Raven Robin flew back slowly and brought the news that Middy was about to return, which made both girls' eyes light up. Fiona naturally looked forward to meeting Middy and taking a look at what kind of treasure he had brought back from the royal court.

  What's the result? Mi Di actually brought a large group of people to stroll around the Eagle's Nest like they were sightseeing, and finally even ran to the Conquest Hall. It doesn't feel like he's coming home, it feels like he's here on vacation!

  And I heard that there are also two innocent half-elves by his side?

  As soon as she finished listening to the report from her subordinates, Feena, who was stationed in Eagle's Nest Castle, immediately flew into a rage and dragged Alice over to interrogate her.

  At this moment, when she really saw Mide and saw that sunny smile, the raging fire in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace for some reason.

  After all, maybe the girl had never been angry.

  Maybe she just wanted to see Middy earlier, so she found a lot of reasons for herself and came rushing over.

  At this moment, the only thing that makes Fiona feel a little unsatisfied is that the face with a sunny smile is not the familiar Middy, but a young man who is not handsome after disguise.

  It's a bit of an eyesore...

  "How annoying..."

  A voice suddenly rang out, but it was not the red-haired girl who unknowingly spoke her thoughts aloud, but rather a heartless evaluation from another black-haired girl.

  Alice tilted her head, furrowed her brow, and then shook her waterfall-like black hair, striding towards Midy. Her breathtakingly beautiful face, icy coldness that warned strangers to keep their distance, and an aura of mystery that seemed to hold a magical power, caused the adventurers from the Morning Star and Mountain Wolf mercenary groups to involuntarily make way for her.

  Like this, the Fog Witch directly walked in front of Mide.

  She didn't say anything, but under the gaze of everyone, her slender right hand, which was naturally wearing a black glove, directly stroked Midie's cheek.

  In an instant, that unremarkable face disappeared.

  That bird's nest-like messy hair that couldn't be combed neatly has disappeared.

  That dull gaze and expression that always seemed half asleep disappeared.

  A head of black hair, a pair of dark eyes, eyes like electricity, high nose bridge, facial expression firm and bold.

  The hardships of the past life and the struggles of this life have made Mi Di, who has shed his disguise, exude a calm and magnanimous aura from head to toe, an introverted and majestic aura that is like a famous sword hidden in its scabbard, once unsheathed, it will be a magnificent sight, piercing through the sky.

  "Good, this is more like it, this is the Medici's Alexis." Alice nodded slightly, and at some point, that black crow Robin had already perched on her shoulder.

  The voice of the Fog Witch was not loud, yet every adventurer in the great hall heard it clearly.

  This raven-haired, dark-eyed youth is Middy Asturks.

  The master of this land and city, the sole heir of the Aslex family, an undefeated swordsman who can take on a hundred alone, a genius commander.

  And...

  Fina, Alice's acknowledged partner.

  In an instant, the originally silent great hall once again erupted with countless noisy discussions.
