When Apulu Pie and Lef logged in again, it was already late at night on the second day. The fog had grown so thick that it was impossible to distinguish between people and animals from a ter away.
Once everyone was present, the mission freeze ended, and Andrew approached with a worried expression.
"Xia Ya, we've been stuck here for two days and nights (including a day and night before). If we delay any longer—"
"Isn't that up to you, Mr. rchant of the Clover Chamber of Comrce?" Xia Ya winked at him. "Though you're from the Lugor Kingdom, you grew up on the ice plains of Allendale. This fog should be child's play for you, right?"
Andrew's expression froze, and after a mont, he awkwardly smiled.
"I didn't expect you to know so well..."
"No, I just know a bit about Allendale. I could tell your heritage because you're darker than most Allendale people, and..." Xia Ya shrugged, "not as handso as them."
The round-faced rchant wasn't offended; instead, he laughed. "Hahaha, you're right. Even my wife says I look like a Barbarian from the Red Earth Prairie... I can indeed find my way in the fog, but the problem is, we need to deal with the 'survivor' first."
Xia Ya discreetly stepped on Apulu Pie's foot.
"He's giving you a hint."
"Huh?? A hint? What hint?"
"He said 'deal with the survivor,' referring to both the surviving female eagle and the lockpicker. It's ti to make a decision, girl."
"Wow, is it that subtle? How should I respond?"
"You've decided to take the life of your colleague, right?"
"What do you an take a life! This is just justice being served! I asked the elf sister, and she said it's ti!"
"I'll handle this issue."
Xia Ya shrugged at Andrew and suddenly leaped forward, charging straight at Corian. At the sa ti, two hooks shot out from left and right, aiming directly behind Corian.
Despite the Dark Brotherhood's seasoned locksmith being prepared to flee, he couldn't escape such a luxurious assault. He barely turned around before the Frost Longsword pierced his heart.
"Such a sha, this guy was nice to ."
Apulu Pie closed his eyes for him and skillfully retrieved a pouch of money and two pieces of equipnt.
Wait...
Equipnt!!?
Xia Ya's eyes widened!
Damn, you could actually loot equipnt from an NPC like Corian?? Are you cheating?
Poor Corian, despite being level 17, had less combat power than a level 13 Rogue. Most of his energy was invested in lockpicking. The best Xia Ya ever looted from him was 42 lockpicks, all packed in a small iron barrel, densely packed like toothpicks.
"Look, look! Check this out!"
The female Rogue excitedly handed over the items.
-
"Corian's Third Hand (Hook)"
Secondary Weapon
Attack Power = 0.25*AD, Agility 1
Maximum Range 25.5 ters
-
"Corian's Deerskin Boots (Boots)"
Forged Equipnt

Xia Ya silently read through the items, speechless.
He had never seen... really.
When you're just trying to make great content at pawread .
Maybe the drop rate increased due to the three-person difficulty... Yes, that explanation makes sense. You see, the drops aren't particularly rare, just ordinary equipnt. In single-player mode, it's expected not to drop...
That's it. Certain.
"Hey, hey, are these two pieces of equipnt useful?"
"Not useful, I suggest destroying them."
"What!? Really? Are you lying to on purpose! Hey, why are you pushing !"
Xia Ya pushed the chattering female Rogue aside, making room for Andrew.
The round-faced rchant finally let down his guard and walked over with a smile.
Allendale is extrely cold, with snowfields and ice seas to the north, making it an ice city.
The city's guards are level 70, and the area would only open up in the ga's later expansion packs. Before that, the only way to sneak in was through Andrew, a rchant born in the Lugor Kingdom's inland.
Allendale is the only city-state that has tad wyverns and successfully put them into production, mastering an aerial transport line. It once belonged to the Lugor Kingdom but has now beco almost independent.
Andrew's plan to break through the fog was to use a unique thod of the ice city's natives to summon a nearby flying wyvern and then form a contract with it to carry everyone out from above.
The prerequisite was to deal with the widow eagle.
The wyvern Andrew could summon at level 22 wouldn't be higher than level 30, and it might not even be a match for the eagle in a normal fight. Moreover, this creature had just lost its mate and was more volatile than ever. Without dealing with it, no wyvern would dare approach.
Xia Ya knew of another way out, but it was a long detour, not suitable for Andrew, who was in a hurry to get to Astan City.
Everyone's eyes fell on him again, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Alright, alright..."
Xia Ya drew a map on the ground with a stone.
"We're here, and in half an hour, it'll be the ti of day when the fog is thinnest. As long as we light torches, the widow eagle will see us and swoop down... We need the fastest person to act as bait. Alright, no need to look, I know that person is ... Besides, Mr. Andrew."
He looked up at the rchant: "Can I borrow your 'Cold Crystal'?"
Andrew's face changed instantly, and the staff he held in his hand suddenly emitted a magical ice fla!
"Don't get excited, I an no harm. I just want to increase our chances of success..." Xia Ya reassured him.
After all, he hadn't tried the widow eagle's attack speed in three-person difficulty, he thought helplessly.
The "Cold Crystal" is a specialty of Allendale, like oil in the Middle East and natural gas in Siberia. But it's much rarer because only mage classes have the mining qualifications.
This item is excellent magical material, greatly beneficial for casting, enchanting, forging, and alchemy...
Most importantly, it can be used for gacha.
You just smash it on the ground with a "bang," and a palm-sized ice fairy erges, holding a silver fairy wand, wearing an ice-carved crown, exuding a Nordic style.
The fairy only exists for an hour before disappearing. The attributes drawn depend on personal luck.
Xia Ya wanted this ice crystal for the slow aura that all little fairies possess, which gave him confidence.
After all, it's a level 35 widow eagle, with swift claws and piercing attacks as standard moves.
Andrew only needed one look at Xia Ya to understand that he wasn't after the material itself but intended to use it like a firecracker, and he shook his head like a rattle.
"I must refuse."
Xia Ya had anticipated this outco and wasn't angry. He smiled and asked, "Isn't 5000 gold coins and ten Cold Crystals enough for this trip..."
"You really did investigate !"
"Don't rush, Mr. Andrew. I didn't co all this way just for a rescue... I also have bad news for you."
"What?"
"The Fight Club in Astan City... it's been shut down for reorganization."
"What!?"
Andrew's face changed dramatically.
