Chapter 69 Squad Member Zhang Gui
"Swoosh, swoosh" (two sounds).
Two condensed cyan-blue wind blades swiftly cut through the wind, striking the two sharp-toothed rabbits almost simultaneously and instantly slicing them in two.
Captain Eric and Elisa, who was standing next to him, both glanced at Li Ang subconsciously, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
To cast spells so accurately and quickly while on a high-speed flying broom is something that ordinary apprentice wizards cannot do, let alone someone from the Potions school.
Elisa's eyes held even more understanding and admiration; it seemed that the classmate her sister admired was indeed extraordinary.
Captain Eric didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and continued on his way.
Then we encountered several level 1 fire rats on the ground. They could breathe fireballs, but they were helpless against high-speed aerial attacks.
Captain Eric again assigned the target, while Leon and Elisa were responsible for clearing it out. Leon's wind blades were still infallible and extremely powerful, each one fatal.
Elisa's main responsibility is to guard the flanks and rear. She doesn't take many shots, but her sharp [Flame Arrow] shows that she is worthy of the proud name of the Polk family.
The patrol mission went more smoothly and simply than expected, without encountering any unexpected situations or powerful monsters.
About two hours later, they completed their inspection of the planned route and began their return journey.
By the time they landed on the first flight platform, it was already broad daylight, and Captain Eric's face showed a hint of relaxation.
"Mission accomplished. You can go back and rest. We'll notify you in advance of the next mission."
"Yes, Captain," Li Ang and Elisa replied in unison.
Back in his dormitory, Li Ang could still hear the images of the mission replaying in his mind. The biting wind high in the sky and the feeling of the wind blades precisely tearing through monsters gave him a new understanding of how to use his mental power.
He then sat cross-legged in the center of the room, and the [Gentle Breeze Barrier Lv2] quietly unfolded, a pale blue light membrane enveloping him, and rich and active wind elemental magic surrounded him like a docile pet.
With the continuous effect of the [Acceleration Pocket Watch Lv3] and the lingering effects of the calming potion still present in his body, he quickly entered a meditative state.
In the spiritual world, the three stars shone brightly, more solid and luminous than ever before. After an unknown period of time, the condensation of the fourth star was as natural as water flowing into a channel, without any hindrance.
When Li Ang opened his eyes again, the four stars in his mental world were running stably, and his total mental energy had increased to 35 points.
"Although it was a day later than expected, it still went smoothly."
He felt the surge of power within him and murmured to himself. Although he hadn't achieved his goal before joining the enforcement team, the breakthroughs he made in actual combat had solidified his foundation.
Then he remembered what Captain Eric had said on the return journey:
"This mission gives you fifty contribution points, which is equivalent to one of the mentor's open lectures. As for coins, not much, just 20 copper."
Li Ang quickly calculated in his mind that repairing the floating core would require 15,000 contribution points.
Each patrol earns 50 points, so it takes a full 300 missions to accumulate enough. Even with the remaining contribution points from your previous missions, it still takes 270 missions, which is almost a year.
Li Ang deeply felt that he had a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.
Looking at the time, Li Ang realized the class on the fifth floor should be ending soon. He put away the barrier, straightened his robe, and headed out to the classroom on the fifth floor.
I had just arrived at the fifth-floor corridor when classes were ending, and the apprentice wizards were leaving the classroom one after another.
Sandra Meya spotted Li Ang at the doorway immediately, and her gaze was instantly drawn to the silver badge with a crossed swords design on his chest.
"The law enforcement team badge?!" she exclaimed, rushing to Li Ang in a few strides, her bright green eyes wide with surprise.
"Li Angqing, when did you join the enforcement team?!"
Her voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of several apprentice wizards around her, their eyes filled with surprise. After all, the enforcement team was almost synonymous with the elementalist school.
Before Li Ang could answer, Sandramea spoke as if suddenly realizing something:
"Oh, by the way, given your performance in Whispering Forest last time, the enforcement team definitely wants to recruit you," she said, a hint of worry on her face.
"Li Angqing, be careful. As far as I know, the enforcement team's mission is very dangerous." As she said this, her eyes suddenly lit up as if she had thought of something.
"By the way, if you don't mind my armor, I'll give you a set. They can automatically change according to your body shape."
Li Ang smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Thank you, Your Highness. But even if the size is adjustable, the weight won't change, right? I'm afraid I won't be able to walk in it. But don't worry, I'll be careful... By the way, shall we continue the project today?"
"Of course," Maya replied enthusiastically, her attention immediately drawn back.
"Harris and I have just finished compiling some data. Since you're here, let's go to my room and discuss it in detail."
……
In the days that followed, if the patrol duties of the law enforcement team did not conflict with the class time, he would go to the fifth floor to attend the class, and afterwards he would spend time with Maya and Harris, studying how to improve the Dragon Power Potion.
Although the project is progressing slowly, it is proceeding steadily. Li Ang did not use the groundbreaking cold extraction method, but instead incorporated the idea of compound stabilizers into it, trying to find new materials that can balance drug conflicts and enhance effects.
The patrol team had daily missions, only the time and route varied slightly. Each time, Captain Eric was in charge, while Leon and Elisa were responsible for cleaning. On the fifth day after Leon joined the law enforcement team, the other two members of the team who had been recuperating from injuries finally returned to the team.
Miguel, a cheerful wizard, is skilled in the swift and violent Lightning Bolt spell, while Remus is calm and collected, and his Water Bomb spell is highly proficient.
During the mission, Li Ang observed that when monsters were soaked by Remus's [Water Bomb], their power was significantly increased when they were hit by Miguel's [Lightning Strike].
Water can conduct lightning... It seems that the physical laws of this world are the same as those of his previous world. Li Ang secretly made a mental note of this, which might become a basis for future tactical combinations.
The return of Miguel and Remus means that the Eighth Squad is now fully staffed and will officially leave the rest period, where they will be required to undertake more dangerous missions.
Sure enough, at the assembly the next morning, Captain Eric solemnly announced the new instructions:
"A new mission has arrived: escort an important scholar from the Astronomical School to Obsidian City to attend an academic conference. Meet at the first platform on the eleventh floor at 8:00 AM tomorrow. This escort will be carried out jointly by our eighth, fourth, and sixth squads."
"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison.
After the meeting, Li Ang went to the classroom on the fifth floor to attend a class. After class, he found Sandra Meyer and Harris and explained that he needed to go out on a mission and would probably not be back for several days. He asked them to proceed with their research on their own for the time being.
Although Sandra Mea was somewhat disappointed, she knew the mission was of utmost importance. She waved and patted Li Ang's arm, saying, "Go ahead and rest assured, Lord Li Ang. This princess and Harris will keep an eye on the progress. When you return, there might be a surprise."
