<h4>Chapter 335: Hidden Mission</h4>


    “It’s a misunderstanding. I had no choice thest time.” Lance smiled apologetically and stood up elegantly. He went to the sofa at the side, invited Audrey to sit down, and took the initiative to make tea.


    Audrey’s frown deepened. She could not understand Lance’s intentions at all. Could it be that he was inviting her to tea so early in the morning?


    Audrey would not believe such a statement.


    “City Lord, if you have something to say, you can just say it.” After some thought, Audrey decided to ask directly. Otherwise, she would not be able to drink the tea properly.


    “You signed up for the mission of the pr cier?” Lance was taken aback. Aplicated look shed across his eyes as he asked.


    Audrey nodded. She did not find it strange that Lance knew about this. However, the speed at which he knew was too fast. She had just signed up when he invited her over.


    “Then, do you know what the mission is this time?”


    “Find the zing me beast, retrieve the frost bead, and return it to the vigers.” Audrey summarized the Elder’s words very briefly. However, she knew that although the words were short, the mission was not simple.


    “This is only one of the missions.” Lance nodded meaningfully. He looked at Audrey with aplicated gaze and said, “There’s another mission. I hope that you can go to the vige and investigate the current situation of the vige.”


    Current situation? Audrey frowned. Was the current situation of the vige not caused by the theft of the frost beads and hunger?


    Seeing this, Lance spoke again, “The viges near the pr ciers have always been peaceful. They have sufficient natural elements, especially water elements. This matter has happened strangely. Strange things have happened frequently in the viges in the past two years. The natural elements have gradually disappeared. Unfortunately, the pr ciers are far from here, so I can’t understand them in depth.”


    “That’s why you’ve set up this bounty mission? On the surface, it’s to take back the ice, but in reality, it’s to investigate the vige.” Audrey quickly reacted, and she could not help but sigh at Lance’s good intentions.


    Lance did not deny it. Audrey had seen through his thoughts.


    “Both missions are vital. I hope Miss Audrey won’t disappoint me.”


    “I’ll try my best,” Audrey said with a hint of heaviness and helplessness in her tone.


    This time, she would not be able to return without half a month.


    It was almost noon when Audrey left the City Lord’s mansion. She hurried to the Magic Academy and informed Teacher ude of this matter.


    “So, I won’t be able toe over for the next half a month. Teacher, focus on your research and wait for me toe back,” Audrey said apologetically. She had initially agreed to study the magic book with her teacher. However, she rarely sat down and looked at it seriously.


    “It’s more important for you to do your own things. I have the academy.” Teacher ude smiled amiably. Then, he took out an unknown item from his pocket. “This is a treasure that can save your lives at a critical moment. Take it with you just in case.”


    “This… teacher, I don’t…” Audrey subconsciously refused.


    However, Teacher ude was also very persistent. He stuffed it into Audrey’s hands. “I can only stay in the Magic Academy for the rest of my life. I don’t need this thing. Just take it.”


    Hearing this, Audrey could not help but have tears in her eyes. Teacher ude had contributed to the magic and Magic Academy so much.


    “Thank you, Teacher ude. I will cherish it. The Magic Academy will not let you down,” Audrey said sincerely.


    Under the urging of Teacher ude, Audrey left the Magic Academy. She returned to her dormitory and packed some things before rushing to the mission hall.


    Her teammates were already waiting for Audrey. Perhaps it was because Audrey always prepared a lot of things in the past, but this time, each of them had brought a package.


    “Why didn’t you… put it in your pocket?” Audrey asked, puzzled.


    “That’s why it feels more like an adventure,” Cole said, his tone full of anticipation and joy, which instantly made Audreyugh.


    It was probably the first time they had seen cultivators travel like them.


    Under Audrey’s helpless persuasion, they put the things away. At this moment, Cali also walked out, holding the scepter with the crystal ball in his hand.


    “Students, I wish you a smooth journey!”


    Cali injected his power into the crystal ball, and it immediately emitted a blue light, enveloping Audrey and the others. When they opened their eyes again, they saw an endless cier.


    A bone-piercing cold wind blew as if their bones were about to be frozen into pieces.


    Audrey immediately cast a spell, strengthening ayer of warmth on her teammates to prevent them from being hurt by the cold of the pr cier.


    “This ce is too empty. There’s nothing here except for the cier.”


    “Otherwise, how can it be called a pr cier?” Cole said jokingly.


    The situation was true as the two of them had said. There was nothing here except for the cier that stretched as far as the eye could see. They had to find the zing me beast in such a barren environment andplete the mission.


    “Let’s think about how to find the zing me beast first.” Without waiting for Audrey to speak, Adrian had already started thinking.


    The others also fell silent as they pondered.
