Chapter 248 Labyrinth Instructor

The summer afternoon was exceptionally stifling, and under normal circumstances, people would stay indoors unless they had business to attend to.

However, this afternoon, the Quest Guild of Delis Town was unusually bustling.

This was because the "Instructor" responsible for forming the "Labyrinth Raid Team" had arrived.

Delis Town was considered one of the more peripheral towns, and its inhabitants seldom had the opportunity to meet renowned individuals.

But with the Aqua Nest Labyrinth being designated as a compulsory conquest by the Lord Azure Lizard, the strong from all towns within the dominion of the Azure Lizard Family would gradually gather in Delis Town.

The denizens of Delis Town had never imagined that this unremarkable labyrinth, which neither produced minerals nor grain, could bring about such a windfall.

To increase the success rate of labyrinth raids, the king of the Wester Kingdom established the position of "Labyrinth Instructor."

Whenever a lord was tasked with forming a labyrinth raid team, the royal family would dispatch an Instructor to provide guidance in the respective territory.

On this afternoon, the Labyrinth Instructor arrived in Delis Town in a royal carriage.

Upon seeing the extravagant royal carriage, the town's residents dropped their tasks and flocked to the streets to welcome the Labyrinth Instructor.

Amidst the cheers of the people, the royal carriage made its way to the entrance of the Quest Guild before coming to a halt.

Then, the carriage door slowly opened.

Before anyone emerged, the townspeople saw a semi-transparent white mist seeping from under the carriage. Those who came into contact with the mist shivered from the cold.

"What in blazes? Isn't it summer? Why is it suddenly so cold?!"

As the people were puzzling over this, a snowy white top hat was the first thing to emerge from the carriage, followed by a tall lady clad in a white fur coat, with black leather high-heeled boots, exuding an air of majesty as she exited the carriage.

Her arrival seemed to freeze time, and all the focus shifted to her.

Accompanying her strides, her grey-white hair and golden trimmed skirt swayed back and forth, and her emerald eyes glimmered with an intense gaze under her thick eyelashes.



No one found her heavy attire odd because ever since she alighted from the carriage, everyone around her was shivering from the cold.

But to catch a glimpse of the Instructor's celestial beauty, the townspeople felt it was worth it even if they were to freeze to death.

"G-g-good heavens! Is this the Lab-b-byrinth Instructor? She's too bea-beautiful!"

"I-I-I wish I had signed up for the raid team. I wonder if it's still po-po-possible to join now?"

"Does anyone k-k-know her name?"

The townspeople, despite shivering from the cold, were still excitedly discussing among themselves.

The lady, however, was indifferent to the buzz around her and walked straight towards the entrance of the Quest Guild.

At the entrance, Pamela, the chief of the branch, had been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome, 'Ice Polestar · Sheryl,'" she greeted warmly.

In response to Pamela's enthusiastic welcome, the lady known as "Ice Polestar · Sheryl" gave a nonchalant nod, then walked straight into the Quest Guild.

Pamela, unoffended by the aloofness, quickly followed her in. As for the townspeople who were still gathered outside, they didn't have the courage to enter the Quest Guild at this time.

However, the spectators did not immediately disperse but continued their animated discussions.

"So it's 'Ice Polestar · Sheryl,' I've always heard of her, but this is the first time I've seen her in person!"

"What? You know her? Do tell!"

"Tch, you bumpkins, not even knowing 'Ice Polestar · Sheryl.' She's the Icy Valkyrie who's made a name for herself on the frontlines in recent years!"

"Ah, now that you mention it, I remember! Isn't she the one who was initially discarded by the Snowy Hart family due to her lack of talent, but later shone brilliantly under the royal family...

"Shush! How dare you talk about such things here! Are you not afraid for your life?"

.

At this time, within the Quest Guild, only Pamela, the branch chief, and Ice Polestar · Sheryl were present.

For the low-level bounty hunters, if they were locked in the same room with Ice Polestar · Sheryl, they would likely freeze to death.

This morning, Pamela received news that the "Labyrinth Instructor" would arrive in the afternoon, but she never expected that the royal family would dispatch Ice Polestar · Sheryl. This showed how determined the royal family was to conquer the Aqua Nest Labyrinth.

— (But why has this ordinary labyrinth, long abandoned, become important again?)

Pamela had her doubts, but facing Ice Polestar · Sheryl's powerful aura, she dared not ask any unnecessary questions and just answered every question Sheryl posed seriously.

"There are currently five members of the labyrinth raid team who have arrived in Delis Town. They are..."

"That's enough; you don't need to go into detail."

Ice Polestar · Sheryl was very decisive. Even if Pamela closed her eyes, she could hardly feel any feminine aura from her. This made Pamela secretly sigh, such a waste of a beautiful appearance.

"Pamela, summon all the members who have arrived. I'll be waiting here."

Sheryl's words held an undeniable pressure. Upon hearing them, Pamela immediately stood up to find the members, not daring to delay a moment.

.

Fifteen minutes later, Garvit, one of the representatives from Emerald City, was the first to enter the Quest Guild. What greeted his eyes was a stunning woman of icy beauty, sitting on the bench, resting her eyes.

However, Garvit dared not approach her.

Firstly, because he knew that this beautiful woman was the widely acclaimed Ice Polestar · Sheryl.

Secondly, he could feel the bone-chilling cold emanating from her, as if icy spears would skewer him if he took one step closer.

.

Thirty minutes later, Babur, the representative of Madison Town, arrived with his minions.

His boisterous minions only made noise for five seconds before becoming silent, as they had all turned into harmless ice sculptures.

Babur, seeing this, didn't dare to get angry because he saw that the person he respected, "Silver Armored Knight - Garvit," was cowering in a corner, not daring to move.

.

Forty minutes later, the representative from Gudetown arrived, swiftly becoming the latest addition to the group huddled in the corner, shivering in trepidation.

.

Fifty minutes later, Pamela, the branch chief, brought the last two people to the Quest Guild. Upon entering, the three of them first saw a row of young hoodlums turned into ice sculptures, then the sleeping Ice Polestar · Sheryl, and finally the other three members of the labyrinth raid team, all covered in frost.

(I must say, this is quite absurd...)

Tyler sighed, not because the three were frozen to such a pitiful state, but because he saw the level of the Labyrinth Instructor.

This was the first time Tyler had seen a human with a combat occupation level exceeding 100.
