From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 422 - 284 Moon Well_3

The visiting high elf was none other than the Great Arcanist Augustus.

Augustus managed the Magic Tower in Kolos City and was one of the few who could enter the Moon Well Space without the Queen’s permission.

"The rumors of crisis in Kolos City must concern you, right?" Augustus walked behind her, looking at the pure golden strands of hair on her head.

Queen Orelana nodded, "Of course, if the crisis is real, the Quel’dorei will face a turning point."

"Don’t worry, I won’t let the crisis befall us," Augustus said, his tone full of conviction as if he had seen through everything.

Queen Orelana squatted down, took out a crystal jug, and drew water from the Moon Well into it.

Seeing this, Augustus knew what it was for but still asked, "Are you sending it to the Moonshadow Forest?"

Queen Orelana nodded, "Yes, the Moonshadow Forest needs the Moon Well Spring Water, perhaps Teacher Seren can find a way to purify the pollution."

"Transporting the spring water now would significantly reduce the guard strength in the city, possibly giving the Abyss Summoners an opportunity," Augustus said with a contemplative look.

"That’s why I plan to recruit humans to help. The humans summoned this time are much better than the last batch," Queen Orelana provided an evaluation.

Augustus snorted lightly, "If these humans do not create a crisis, that would be the best outcome."

After filling the jug, Queen Orelana placed the crystal jug aside and spoke in a calm tone, "The purpose of the summoning is always good, just as we have experienced before. However, the individuals in this human civilization are indeed mixed."

She heard about the mixed nature of individual humans from Fiona.

During the day.

Before Fiona escorted Lu Heng and another for an audience, another human had slandered the two with words.

She was referring to Black Field; when she had heard Black Field’s words, she did not express an opinion, but she could tell that it was essentially an internal conflict among individuals.

In fact.

The Elf Clan also had individuals with questionable morals, like Dionysus, the transformed witch demon, who was a disgrace to the elves.

After filling it with the Magic Spring Water, Queen Orelana and Augustus left the Moon Well Space together.

...

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Eric, captain of the Elf Guard, issued a task to human Superpower Users in the city, requesting assistance in transporting a batch of Moon Well Magic Spring Water to the Moonshadow Forest.

This task was only available to Superpower Users who could enter the Inner City, and it involved escorting the Moon Well Magic Spring Water.

Lu Heng had already planned a trip out of the city and conveniently complete his first Challenge Task, to kill 20 Abyss Summoners.

Transporting the Magic Spring Water from the Moon Well was indeed the best choice.

From the standpoint of the Abyss Summoners, the likelihood of intercepting the Moon Well Spring Water was high.

In other words, this job of transporting the Moon Well Spring Water not only offered a bounty reward but also allowed them to await the foes passively—essentially killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, this could be the closest mission to the Moon Well Spring Water.

After brief consultation, Lu Heng, Su Muyu, and Lin Zeyu decided to undertake this task of transporting the Moon Well Spring Water.

Upon hearing the news of the transport task, nearly all the human Superpower Users in the city gathered, hoping to partake in this mission.

Even those Superpower Users who were initially unaware of the Moon Well had gained some understanding after spending twenty days in this world.

Hence, the Superpower Users all knew the extreme value of the Magic Spring Water from the Moon Well, and this task was the most important one issued by the Elf Clan so far.

Moreover, this time the task was only available to Superpower Users within the city, naturally creating a threshold.

Thus, most Superpower Users in the city wanted to participate in this mission.

Lu Heng, Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shi’en all accepted this task.

In addition, Rong Xincheng, upon hearing the news, also brought his team to participate.

Along with Chen Zihang, Tao Yalun, Wu Weibing, and nine others.

These teams belonged to the group led by Lu Heng, which ensured mutual trust and hence made executing the task more convenient.

In addition.

Black Field’s team of four and several other Superpower Users also applied to the Elf Guard captain Eric to join this mission.

However, Eric announced that he would only recruit twenty human Superpower Users for this task.

Because for this mission, Eric could only bring thirty elf warriors.

To ensure the timely completion of the transport task, the Elf Clan could not possibly recruit more human Superpower Users than the Elf Guard members.

Therefore, the number of human Superpower Users participating was capped at twenty.

By these calculations, with Lu Heng’s team of three, plus Xie Shi’en, Rong Xincheng’s three, and Chen Zihang’s nine, that already made sixteen.

Only four slots were left.

Black Field’s team precisely fitted these remaining four, but others were still competing.

The competition suddenly intensified.

Black Field and a group of Superpower Users crowded around Elf Guard Captain Eric, using every persuasion tactic to try to edge others out.

Especially since Lu Heng’s large team took up so many slots, they naturally faced some hostility from other Superpower Users.

Black Field raised a concern, "Captain Eric, having so many from their team, if they bear ill intentions during the transport, it could pose a significant threat to your team. I think their team needs to be reduced by half."

Eric looked at Lu Heng and asked, "Do you all wish to participate?"

Lu Heng, surprised by Black Field resorting to such tactics, responded directly, "I don’t trust these four; exclude all of them, recruit four more Superpower Users, and we can set off."

His words sounded less like a suggestion and more like a command.

However, Eric offered no objection and quickly agreed to the plan, promptly excluding Black Field’s team of four and then recruiting four more Superpower Users to form a fifty-person transport team, announcing the departure time.
