Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Yuan Bufan looked at the Bloodthirsty Shield of the Lord in his hand in disbelief and was extremely excited.

"By the way, Brother Yuan, what level is your Medal of Honor?" Brook asked.

Medal of Honor?

"My medal... No. 44..." Where did Yuan Bufan get the medal of honor? The medal he wore was the most common one, Medal No. 44, magic 1-3, without critical hit effect.

"Oh~ I just happen to have an extra medal of honor here, you can use it." Brooke took out the medal of honor from the warehouse and handed it to Yuan Bufan.

This is... Level 3 Medal of Honor!

Yuan Bufan's face turned red with excitement!

What individual cultivators lack most are the Domination Shield and the Medal of Honor. These two items can only be found in the three secret maps: the Underground Palace Abyss, the Underground Palace Canyon, and the Underground Palace Entrance, but these avenues are monopolized by the three major families. The only other way to obtain them is at the ore auction at Wolong Villa, but only the lucky few can obtain them.

But now the Domination Shield and the Medal were delivered to him so simply and directly! Yuan Bufan didn't know what to say for a moment, let alone how to repay him.

"...Um...Brook, when will you turn 6?"

"It will take at least 10 days or half a month. Why are you asking this, Brother Yuan? Oh, Brother Yuan, you really don't have to give me your rank 6 pill. We agreed that it's yours. Save some money for emergencies."

Reaching the 10th level in just 6 days or half a month, even the direct descendants of the three major families would not dare to make such a boast.

But Yuan Bufan's focus was not here, instead he stammered:

"...No...I mean...when you reach level 6, I'll follow you!"

"...Why do you have to wait until I reach level 6?" Brooke asked.

"Nonsense! I, Yuan Bufan, am level 169, a 6th-turn cultivator. I'm quite famous in the circle of casual cultivators! If I were to follow a level 140 5th-turn cultivator, it wouldn't look good if it got out. So you have to fight for it and quickly reach the 6th turn!" Yuan Bufan said the submissive words in a tough tone.

"Oh~ ok, I'll try my best."

"Ahem... Brook, don't be discouraged. Even though you're only at Rank 5, just keep it a secret. If you need anything, just tell me. I'll follow your instructions. By the way, did you see the quest redemption list? There's an extra copy of 'Summoning the Moon Spirit' in there."

"I saw it."

"Although 'Summon Moon Spirit' isn't the Taoist's ultimate skill, its value is no less. What do you think? Should we work with Cullinan and the others? They're planning on taking on quests to kill liches and dreadlords."

"Cullinan? Didn't he drop a Sun Zodiac? So, I can't complete the set anymore."

"That's right. He dropped a Sun, and Qin Shan and his companions happened to have a Moon in their warehouse. Using the Moon in combination with other sun signs can still achieve a 12% freezing effect." Yuan Bufan explained.

"You mean, Cullinan and Qin Shan, these two enemies, are planning to cooperate?"

"Yes. In the face of common interests, they have put aside their past grievances and are ready to make a big move. Cullinan and Qin Shan both said they were careless last time, so this time they plan to choose a good location to ambush, then lure out the Dreadlords and their ilk and defeat them one by one. What do you think, should we get involved? Given our abilities, they shouldn't refuse."

The tactic of defeating them one by one sounds quite reliable. But how to lure them in? This is where the problem lies.

Brooke looked at Yuan Bufan eager to try and asked:

"You want to go?"

"I'll listen to you. If you don't go, I certainly won't go either." Yuan Bufan said.

Killing the strongest beasts is a dangerous undertaking. While the full set of Zodiac's freezing effect is effective, it's not a sure thing. Previously, Cullinan wasn't entirely confident, and although he managed to kill a Minotaur Chieftain once, he was ultimately defeated. Brook, on the other hand, repeatedly survived encounters with the strongest beasts, even saving him along the way. So, now, Yuan Bufan only had faith in Brook.

Brooke didn't even think about it and just shook his head: "We're not going."

"You don't think highly of them?"

"Actually, their team isn't that bad, but relying solely on the freezing power of the Zodiac suit...isn't enough," said Brook.

"You mean, their team lacks a rank 7 expert with an ultimate skill?"

Rank 7 experts, especially those who had mastered the ultimate skill, were rare. It wasn't that Cullinan and the others didn't want to, but they simply couldn't find a powerful Rank 7 expert.

Brooke didn't comment, but just said, "I wish them good luck."

The previous kill of the Tauren Chieftain Bloodhoof was largely due to the slowdown provided by the Zodiac's Freeze, but also to the fact that the Blademaster and the Prophet were unable to provide timely assistance. In other words, everyone was lucky; if other Warcraft had come to support them, it wouldn't have been the Tauren who died, but Cullinan and the others.

In Brook's view, killing the most powerful monsters requires speed, accuracy, and stability, not just luck. While Brook has freeze and paralysis abilities, his control feels lacking. While he has costumes and medals, even with Yuan Bufan, his damage output is still insufficient. To kill monsters quickly, accurately, and reliably, a team is ideal, one fully commanded by Brook.

Yes, Brook wanted command of the team. Furthermore, if the team consisted of 11 people, and each person received 10 or merit points, how long would it take to accumulate merit points?

Yes, Brook wants all the merit points. Therefore, it's best to have a team he absolutely trusts, a team that absolutely obeys his orders. The team members must completely trust Brook. After the mission is completed, they will automatically give up their rewards and transfer all the merit points to Brook. Brook can also trust these team members. In front of them, he can use the teleport ring, the paralysis ring, and even the resurrection ring.

Such a team could only be formed by aristocratic families or the Imperial Guard. Brooke didn't have the necessary skills at the moment, so he could only wait patiently, preferring to have nothing rather than someone with less than ideal qualities.

"Then aren't we going to take on any missions now?" Yuan Bufan asked.

"You can't accept the mission to kill the monster unless you are absolutely sure! Let's go find the mission officer and see if we can accept the exploration mission." Brook said.

Brooke finds the mission officer.

"Sir, can you give the task of detecting the wild area on the left side of the monster to the two of us?" Brook asked.

The Monster Wild Area exploration mission was a high-difficulty mission. This type of mission usually required a full team. However, Brook and Yuan Bufan were alone, so they had to speak with the mission officer.

"The two of you? Are you saying that you don't need help from other team members? Brook, of course I trust you, and you have never let me down. However, the monster wild area is very dangerous, especially now that it's night, there will be more monsters, you should think twice." The mission officer advised.

"Hmm... Your Excellency, what you said makes sense. I'll consider it." Brooke listened attentively and gave the mission officer face. Even though he was certain, and the mission officer had good intentions, Brooke decided to think it over carefully.

The young boy is teachable, the mission officer nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, sir, I want to ask you something. You know, this morning, when we were exploring the wild area on the right side of the monster, we killed the Tauren Chieftain Bloodhoof. But we didn't receive the task of killing the monster before. In this case, can we get the task reward?" Brook suddenly asked.

"That's a good question! Actually, in this case, you just need to cut off the head of the Tauren Chieftain and use it as proof. Then, come to me to receive the task and hand in the proof of killing the monster, and you can get the task reward!" The task officer said with a smile.

It turns out it can still be like this!

"Thank you for reminding me, sir!"

Luke suddenly understood and came up with a plan.

In this case, we can act first and report later without having to bear the consequences of failing to accept the task of killing high-level monsters.

In this case, of course we have to find a way to kill the monster.

However, the problem returned to the original point. Brook and Yuan Bufan alone were still not enough to control and output.

Oh right! There's someone who might be able to help. If he joins the team, he can just make up for the shortfall.

"Brother Yuan, come with me, let's go meet someone."

"Who?"

Brooke didn't say anything, but just led the way. After walking for a while, they came to a deserted alley in the city. Brooke suddenly stopped, took a step back, and hugged Yuan Bufan's shoulders tightly.

Yuan Bufan was startled and said anxiously:

"Brooke, what are you doing! I just recognize you as the boss. I haven't married or had children yet. You can't do this to me!!"

Brooke rolled her eyes.

"Calm down! Brother Yuan, what are you thinking about? I'm just teleporting you on your way."

"Huh? What do you mean by teleporting?"

The teleportation ring was activated, and with a whoosh, the two flew out.

This was a broad road. Not far ahead were two watchtowers, marking the center camp on the left.

"...teleport...hurry up...this is not random, this is...a teleportation ring! You! You! You have a teleportation ring!!" Yuan Bufan finally reacted.

"Calm down! Brother Yuan, our team is still short of one person. Come with me and go meet someone."

Brooke walked towards the left center camp.
