Sheyan chuckled while observing Franklin.

"The staff in exchange for one favor, how bout' it?"

Franklin immediately understood that Sheyan and Reef had struck an immense obstacle. Seeing their valantry and deadliness during their combined onslaught on Yerna had left a deep impression on him. To be able to advance as a Growth-Hunter, his eyesight was definitely sharper. He naturally could tell that if not for those elves, Yerna would've undoubtedly perished!

Still, he inquired sincerely.

"What favor?"

Sheyan replied composedly.

"I will hum a melody for you. Record it and perform it at another area of my choice. I believe someone will invite you to perform somewhere else, and you should see the newly promoted twilight elf. Your mission is to relay a single message to her."

Franklin asked curiously.

"What message?"

Sheyan whispered several words which caused Franklin's expression to turn sluggish. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry he muttered.

"This…man, that isn't very appropriate."

Sheyan stared into his eyes and said.

"The elf wouldn't know what those words mean, what isn't appropriate?"

Franklin gazed at Sheyan lifelessly as he contemplated. He finally agreed but added.

"What if nobody invites me to perform elsewhere?"

Sheyan raised two fingers and replied confidently.

"Two hours. If nobody invites or contacts you within the two hours, that staff is yours. We can set a contract with the realm."

Sheyan spoke while displaying the staff's attributes to Franklin.

Unable to bear the allure, Franklin gritted his teeth and responded.

"Fine! But I'm not a prodigy that can recompose the melody you hum and reproduce it straightaway. We should find a quieter place for you to hum and I will perform after some practice."

"No problem." Sheyan nodded.

"Then let us verify it officially. Should you violate the contract, then two equipments will be randomly drawn from you and donated to the realm."

After Franklin heard those words, his final few doubts vanished. Should the recipient of his penalized equipments be Sheyan instead, he would naturally suspect if the opposing party was scheming for his equipments. Instead, a donation to the realm meant no benefits to oneself, this was very rare indeed.

In the process of two individuals verifying an official contract, the contract will exhibit the one's serial number and military rank unless specially requested not to. Franklin's attention was poured onto the silver storyline grade magic staff, dreaming of his own transformation in strength…instead, he briefly swept through the content miscellaneous details of the contract.

"Hmm a Reserve-duty Major, this basic realm contestant no.1018 can sure promote swiftly. When I was a basic realm contestant, I was stuck at the rank of reserve-duty Lieutenant……wait!!"

"NO 'reserve-duty'???!!!?"

"A basic realm contestant as an official Major???!!!! Holy, am I going crazy or the world is nuts?"

"……"

Being someone who survived a whole party extermination, Franklin was definitely a quick-witted individual. He immediately pondered over the reason of this contestant revealing his personal details - "Was he just careless? Or is this part of his plan?"

If would be fine if it was the latter, but if it was the former, Franklin may face the risk of being silenced for knowing too much.

Hence, he pretended as though nothing changed. At least, for the time being, he would accomplish this matter first.

Only by exhibiting his personal worth and capabilities, would others view him significantly and select him………

After signing the contract, the three contestants headed off to a secluded corner.

At this moment, the neglected Aamir displayed a trace of jealousy on his face. In large parties, equipment was always a taboo subject. As the saying goes, many monks but not much gruel, the benefits would always not be equally distributed.

The magic staff enticed even an ex-party leader like Yerna, what more Aamir?"

Now it should be mentioned, why did Sheyan seek out Franklin and not Aamir?

That was because Franklin played the saxophone but Aamir played a violin. Naturally, to arouse the attention of Melody, a louder instrument would be more effective.

The melody that Sheyan wanted Franklin to play was no other but the 'Song of Dawn' that Melody sang when she awakened as a twilight elf. She sung that very song while in the embrace of Sheyan, and even promised to sing the 'Song of Dawn' only in his arms. The song was akin to her token of love.

Therefore, although Melody was confined without her freedom, once she heard that familiar tune, she would likely recall him.

After all, elves were creatures of music as well. Thus, Sheyan and Franklin found a secluded spot to prevent others from disturbing them, or others from learning the same tune.

Franklin was indeed gifted in music and despite Sheyan carelessly failing to sing in tune, he effortlessly recomposed the piece.

However, while Franklin was preparing for the piece, minimally ten individuals came streaming in from all corners.

Sheyan hadn't seen the leader of this group before. The leader was wielding a shield.

A dual-handed Tower Shield!

This Tower Shield was the height of a human and appeared awe-inspiring. Its grade was supreme and iron spikes shimmered coldly throughout its surface, leaving one with a sense of fear. Yet upon close examination, one could tell that the shimmering glow of the shield was……dark blue.

At present, their location was a dead end shaped like a gourd. The person holding the shield was nicely positioned at the entrance of the gourd where Aamir soon stode out behind. He pointed at Franklin and shouted.

"Am I not right?! That traitor is selling away information on us here!"

Franklin was stunned and speechless.

Indeed, it was the group of contestants that was encircling Sheyan and the rest. They sneered as they encroached in while taking up their best attacking stance.

Yerna hissed sharply from afar.

"Three morons, did you think that Rivendell is an absolute safe zone? The patrol elves passes by this spot with intervals of 15 minutes. We even possess an MT blocking your only way of escape. 15 minutes later, even your corpses would be mere ashes!"

Facing this situation, Sheyan sighed and helplessly replied.

"I just don't get it. Why does trouble always find its way to my doorstep. You guys are truly ignorant of the realm, treating a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter MT with a measly dark-blue grade shield as treasure?"

As the saying goes, scolding but not exposing one's shortcoming, hitting but not hitting one's face. Sheyan's incisive words offended everyone and cut deep into the eternal agony of that shield wielding MT. He was implying that that MT was originally a vice-tank. After the main tank died, he escaped with a decimated party and successfully assumed a higher post. Moreover, his relationship with the old MT definitely wasn't as seamless as Sheyan and Reef. Even that dark-blue grade Tower Shield was probably purchased…hence, the opposing party immediately retaliated with a barrage of frenzied curses.

Indeed, while the unstable volcano was about to erupt with flames, Reef marched forth and stood before Sheyan and Franklin.

In this instant, the whole world turned silent.

The nightmare imprint on Reef's chest emanated the dazzling glow of a Growth-Hunter!

Furthermore, he shockingly held a great shield as well.

An MT!

This great shield was as blinding as the scorching sun, emitting a brilliant dark-gold radiance that signified the dignity of dark-gold grade equipments.

The opponent who wielded a dual-handed giant claw to assault foes, was shockingly a Growth-Hunter MT who wielded a dark-gold grade shield!!!!

"Still wish to fight? Seize your time you know, the patrolling elves will be arriving here soon oh." Sheyan calmly called out. Although he couldn't see their faces, he could guess their spectacular expressions.

Their opponents held the advantage in numbers, yet Sheyan and Reef held no fear towards them. Formidable party skills, frightening equipments along the the 40% damage reduction of the realm regulation. Charging out was simply a walk in the park for them.

Furthermore, once the patrolling elves affirmed the instigator of this incident, those contestants would be banished from entering Rivendell!

Evidently, at this moment, the disharmony of a temporarily established party was exhibited greatly.

"I think this must be a misunderstanding." A raspy voice called out weakly.

"True that, true that."

"Wait, I just recalled a side mission that I urgently need to accomplish."

"…"

"…"

Since cracks were surfacing, everything else flooded out naturally. This murderous predicament instantly ended up in smokes.

Following that, Sheyan issued menacingly.

"Yerna, Aamir……I will remember your names."

The two individuals shivered a little as their complexions paled. The other adopted a gloating mentality towards the two scapegoats and dispersed as swiftly as they could.
