The Death List Novel - Chapter 290
Chapter 290 Select Team
“Abandon the mission as a last resort. With your lifespan, giving up the main line once is not life-threatening.”
Today was the first time Frank and Little Mute had carried out a mission in another world. Qin Lun instructed lightly before turning around and returning to his room. He did not follow them to the teleportation hall at the Evil Demon’s Horn.
After entering his room, Qin Lun, who had thought that he would no longer pay attention to this matter, kept thinking about what he had encountered with Frank and the little mute.
However, Qin Lun’s somewhat inexplicable emotions did not last long. More than an hour later, Didi’s joyful call came from the front hall of the villa. Frank and the little mute returned smoothly.
Qin Lun suddenly stood up from his chair, but he immediately sat down again and let out a long breath. It was not until evening that he went out for dinner.
Frank and Little Mute were both in the hall, their expressions a little silent, as if they were still immersed in the experiences of another world.
“It’s good to be back. Let’s eat!”
Qin Lun did not ask about their experiences. The experience of the apostles in the world of assignment was their most precious experience and their knot. Sometimes, they could only digest it on their own, but other people’s advice was useless. If they wanted to say it, they would naturally take the initiative to tell Qin Lun.
The atmosphere at the dining table was somewhat dull. Didi stretched out his thin neck and looked at this and that. He found that no one had the desire to speak, so he could only droop his ears and pickpocket the food on the plate dejectedly.
After dinner, Qin Lun did not drink in the living room as usual and directly turned around to go back to his room. Only a moment after he returned to his room, there was a slight knock on the door.
“Come in!” Qin Lun looked out the window at night and said without turning his head.
“Qin … Qin Lun, it’s … it’s me.” An unfamiliar voice that was as thin as an ant’s tongue came from the door.
“Hmm? You can talk now?” Qin Lun looked back at the small figure at the door in surprise.
“Yes … I just recovered …” Little Schiff, who was still like a bean sprout, blushed and said in an inaudible voice.
“Squeak!” The little squirrel jumped down from its master’s shoulder and quickly jumped onto Qin Lun’s shoulder, shouting towards his ear.
Qin Lun spread out his palm and let the squirrel jump to his palm. He put it on his knee and leaned back. He looked at the squirrel in front of him and asked indifferently, “Siv, is there anything you can’t figure out?”
Siv lowered her head and fell silent. Qin Lun didn’t urge him, he just teased the little squirrel with his fingers and waited quietly.
After a while, Schiff finally raised his head and gathered his courage to say, “I … ran away, when the big guy was in danger. But I … don’t know why, he … didn’t blame me!”
“But you still feel uneasy. You feel like you betrayed Frank, don’t you?” Qin Lun said calmly.
“Yes!” Schiff squatted down dejectedly, burying her head in her knees and curling up in the corner of the room, as if she were in the ruins of Atlantis.
“Becoming an apostle does not immediately change everything. You are still the little orphan who is like a bird in fright. Your body and mind are not ready to become an apostle.” Qin Lun sighed softly. “Why don’t you ask Frank what he thinks?”
“But … won’t the big guy scold me?” Siv raised her head and looked at Qin Lun with tears all over her face.
“Frank is a clumsy man. If you don’t ask him, you’ll never know. Perhaps his thoughts will be completely different from yours!” Qin Lun put the little squirrel on the ground and let the little thing run back to its master. “Go, ask him!”
After Siv left, a smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face again. With Frank’s generous personality, how could he blame the little mute for escaping without a fight?
In the heart of the hunchbacked servant, he was probably still blaming himself for the distress of the two of them. In his eyes, Schiff was only a teenage girl, and he didn’t treat her like a companion fighting side by side. The two of them only had different thoughts, which created the current awkward atmosphere.
After a night of silence, Qin Lun woke up the next day and found that Frank and Siv were smiling at each other at breakfast. It looked like the knot between the two had been untied.
“Master, there’s your projection signal!” Didi mumbled as he handed the projector to Qin Lun with his mouth full of food.
‘”Oh, really? The information Lily gave you … Those two went to Tyrant City …” On the other end of the projector was Hansen. He and Grant had also survived the city war. However, Qin Lun was confident that their profits would not exceed his own.
“Looks like the few of us have already attracted the attention of many large teams.” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed, “Hansen, what are you guys planning to do … Find a team first … Alright, good luck then!”
After turning off the projection, Qin Lun fell into deep thought. The warning from Hansen forced him to face up to the hidden dangers he faced once again. As these murderers grew, their presence in the Corner of the Abyss gradually attracted the attention of large teams.
This concern began to reach a critical point after the few of them took part in the urban warfare. Qin Lun understood that he had to make a choice. The idea of joining a small team at will had already gone bankrupt. No stable small team could withstand the pressure of a large team and accept them.
Before they became high-level apostles, even if they formed a team of murderers right now, it would not be the best choice. A new guild of three or four Golden Apostles would definitely attract the attention of all large guilds, or even suppress them.
“Which large guild would be better?” Qin Lun pondered quietly. He had three choices at the moment, an invitation from the assassin of the Primordial Chaos Team-Black, an invitation from the deputy leader of the Lost Team, Kelly, and a promise from the summoner of the Skyfloat Team, Oddo.
These three large guilds had their own advantages and disadvantages. Joining the chaos guild in the chaos evil camp had the advantage of being closer to the Abyss Devils, and it would be more convenient for them to obtain the Abyss Devils’ bloodline in the future. The disadvantage was that if they wanted to leave the evil faction in the future, they would probably be in big trouble.
The advantage of joining the Lost Party is that the team knows him best. After joining, they should be able to obtain the maximum amount of resources and accelerate the accumulation of high-level apostles. The weakness was that with his style of doing things, he would definitely have an inexplicable conflict with the apostle team of the good and orderly faction in the future, until he turned from a companion to an enemy. This was not what Qin Lun wanted to see.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun finally made a decision. He found Oddo’s communication number from his identity token and contacted the Summoner who had been defeated by him.
Tian Fu belonged to the Apostle Filling Tombstone Alliance. Compared to the Primordial Chaos Alliance and the Order-keeping Front, the Apostle Filling Tombstone was impartial and neutral. It was convenient for Qin Lun to continue to work between the Abyss Devils and the Fairies before the establishment of the Killer Demon Team.
“You decided to join Tian Fu?” Oddo, who was at the other end of the projection, didn’t seem to have expected Qin Lun to contact him after the city war.
The Summoner’s expression was somewhat complicated. After that battle, the consequences were quite serious. Not mentioning the loss of Attis’ short staff, even his rookie leader no longer trusted him. For the first time, he lagged behind a few other rookies in terms of resource allocation.
“How did you reap in the urban hegemony war?” Oddo calmed down and asked with a smile.
“Haha, I failed, but I still managed to leave my life behind.” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he pretended to be reluctant to talk.
“Did you also fail?” Hearing Qin Lun’s reply, Oddo’s sullen heart seemed to have eased up a lot. However, he immediately felt that his attitude wasn’t quite right, so he spoke a few words of relief.
After the two talked for a while, Oddo’s face revealed a trace of embarrassment. He began to hesitate and hinted at whether Qin Lun could sell Adith’s short staff to him.
“Haha, to me, the Adis Staff is only a temporary trump card in the battle for supremacy. Since we are about to become teammates, of course we should sell it to you.” Qin Lun smiled and nodded.
Hearing this, Oddo heaved a sigh of relief. After regaining his Adis short staff, his position in the rookies could be consolidated again. He immediately patted his chest and guaranteed that Qin Lun could join Tian Fu.
Next, Oddo asked Qin Lun about his apostle experience. Although there were several large teams that were paying attention to Qin Lun, the young man was still only an elementary apostle. In addition, the other two large teams that understood his background were unlikely to inform the other large teams of his situation.
Hence, Qin Lun gave a fake qualification without changing his expression. He doubled the mission world he had experienced. At the same time, it meant that the small guild that they belonged to had been destroyed. Now, they hoped to find a stable large guild.
Oddo did not doubt Qin Lun’s information. In the final selection of the Hegemon Battle, the youth had used accurate battlefield judgement and analysis to make him lose to the ground. His first impression was that he had plenty of combat experience, but he didn’t accumulate much resources, which was exactly what Qin Lun was describing.
After the call ended, Qin Lun immediately put down a worry. With the Sky Float shield, he would be able to push off the recruitment of Lost and Chaos.
Although Oddo was very impressed with him, he was only a newcomer himself. Moreover, according to the information given to him by Qin Lun, Oddo only knew that he was an excellent beginner apostle. He was able to enter the hegemony battle, but he did not succeed in it.
In this way, Qin Lun would not have the main treatment of the Sky Floating Team. He would most likely only become an ordinary member of their team, or even a peripheral member. This result was exactly what Qin Lun wanted. It was convenient for him to leave the Heavenly Float in the future.
Qin Lun was about to return to his room when the projector lit up again. At the same time, there was a slight tremor on his identity token. Someone was actually trying to contact him.
Qin Lun looked down at the signal on the projector and a strange expression appeared on his face.
