Then I would be the biggest loser in the world

Stephen was wearing a brand-new black robe, which was the standard attire for a magician. He was hiding on the index finger of his left hand under the wide sleeves, wearing a seemingly plain ring. Meanwhile, Debbie was carrying a huge sword weighing a hundred pounds, still wearing that somewhat ill-fitting soft armor.

These days, Stephen did suggest that Debbie change into a new suit of armor. Anyway, they were not short of money now. However, after considering it, Debbie rejected Stephen's proposal. It's common sense for a typical giant swordsman to be equipped with heavy armor, but isn't Debbie going against the norm? Her path as a giant swordsman is aimed at agility. Once the big top is cast out, the armor on her body is too heavy and becomes a burden instead. This soft armor fits her better.

Of course, Debbie had prepared a lot of medicine for her injuries. Although she was a bit greedy for money, she was not so careless as to know what to do.

The two of them made their way to the city Lord's mansion. The guards at the entrance knew their identities and hurriedly let them in. They also had someone take them to the garden they had visited last time. At this point, the two of them couldn't help but marvel at how rich the City Lord's Mansion was. The garden that had been in a mess ten days ago had now been completely restored.

The daughter of the city Lord and also the initiator of this adventure, Efia, the orc Asol, the double swordsman Balman, and the mercenaries Damon and Bill have all arrived. They are all fully armed and ready for the adventure.

Efia was wearing a heroic female armor, the same as the one Stephen had seen in the restaurant last time. The armor was silver in color and must have been made of white iron.

Efia was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Stephen and Debbie. Perhaps because Debbie was the only girl among her companions, she was even more kind to her and told her about the matters to be noted during the adventure.

After discovering that Debbie was still wearing simple soft armor, she proposed to give Debbie one of her previous white iron armarmor, but was refused by Debbie.

Over here, Asol, Balman and Damon Bill also came to talk to Stephen. Knowing that it was Stephen's first time participating in an adventure, they kept reminding him of the matters to pay attention to, and Stephen carefully noted them all down.

It wasn't long before the last two members of the adventure team arrived, Gutem in red armor and Obert in a black magic robe. They were chatting softly, seemingly friends.

Ten days ago, Stephen struck Gutham with a thunderbolt magic scroll, causing his red hair to burst and his armor to show many scorch marks. But now his hair has become smooth again, and his armor has been carefully maintained, looking radiant once more. However, Gutham's gaze towards Stephen was as cold as it was ten days ago, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. It is filled with a cold and stern air.

"Obert, Gutem, you've finally arrived." Effia greeted him with a smile.

"Miss Effia, it's my honor to go on adventures with you." Obert appeared polite in front of Effia.

Gutham sneered and walked up to Stephen, coldly saying to him, "Adventure is very dangerous. I hope you can get out of that ancient tomb alive."

Stephen frowned at Gutham, then he burst out laughing: "Of course I'll come back alive from there, and I'll live well in the future. Whoever makes me live poorly, I'll make them live even worse."

Gutham laughed even colder: "Interesting."

"Gutham!" Balman gave a cold shout and walked to Stephen's side, looking at Gutham with a warning gaze.

Gutham raised both hands, making an expression that said, "I have nothing to do," and then turned and walked to Obert's side.

"Ignore him. If he dares to do anything to you during the adventure, he will definitely be punished by the oath." Balman patted Stephen on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Hehe, I see. It's okay." Stephen smiled and said, but in his heart he was thinking that he wouldn't dare to do anything to him during the adventure, but that didn't mean he wouldn't dare to do anything to him after the adventure ended. Of course, he wasn't afraid at all now.

His steel swordsman's armor is now extremely hungry and thirsty...

Obert noticed the conversation between Gutham and Stephen. He seemed very interested. Seeing Gutham come back, he asked curiously, "Do you have any conflicts with that kid?"

It's just a little friction. Gutham said nonchalantly, but his expression clearly showed that he didn't take this matter as a minor friction.

Efia frowned somewhat unhappily. She didn't want the members of her adventure team to get along poorly. Although there were vows and contracts among them, if they didn't cooperate well during the adventure, it would still cause difficulties. She gave Gutmu a cold look, thinking that if something unexpected happened to the adventure because of Gutmu, she definitely wouldn't avoid this guy.

Then she noticed that Obert was looking at Stephen curiously. So she introduced, "Obert, you don't know Hammerhead yet, do you? He is a sorcerer and also our companion on this adventure. Standing beside him is his..." His friend Debbie. Then she looked at Stephen and Debbie again. "This is the son of the president of the Mage's guild, Obert, the renowned genius mage in our city of Stan."

When Obert heard the name "Hammerhead", his first thought was, "What a lousy name is this?" Who would have such a name? Then it suddenly occurred to him that the hammerhead might be one of the people who had been to the mage's guild on the day the magic crystal was lost?

He was just a second-order magician. When Basgan mentioned the name of the hammerhead, he ruled him out of suspicion without a second thought.

These days, the Mage Guild still hasn't found that lost magic crystal. The ninth-rank mage who came to visit Stan City is already very unhappy. Aubert is also deeply troubled by this matter. At this moment, his heart stirred. These days, the mage guild has searched all the mages who visited the guild that day, but has forgotten this hammerhead. Maybe...

This idea had just flashed through his mind when he ruthlessly rejected it.

This one called the hammerhead is obviously a good-for-nothing. If the magic crystal was really taken by him, then I would be the biggest good-for-nothing in this world.

He thought so in his heart.

Stephen had no idea that someone had taken the title of "the world's biggest loser" upon him. He thought that since the other person was a partner, it was only right to say hello. So he smiled politely at the other person.

Obert, however, snorted coldly and turned his head away, looking extremely disdainful of Stephen - which made Gutham laugh disdainfully as well.

Debbie immediately became a little unhappy and muttered in a low voice, "Who is it!"

Stephen patted Debbie on the shoulder, indicating that he should ignore him.

Now that everyone is here, let's start our adventure. Effia announced that she moved from the middle and a piece of what looked like a tattered linen cloth appeared. It was black and seemed to have some characters engraved on it. She placed the cloth on the ground, drew her long sword, held it in both hands, and seemed ready to Pierce the cloth. She said, "Please stand within two meters of me. I'm going to turn on the key."

That linen cloth is the key to enter the ancient tomb of Doria.

When Stephen Debbie, Asol Balman, Bill Damon and Guttem Obert stood beside Effia, Effia held a sword in both hands and pierced the linen on the ground with one hand.

Immediately, wisps of pale blue smoke, like the aurora, rose from the linen and quickly spread in all directions.

Just as Stephen was feeling curious, the next moment there was a bang and a dazzling white light wrapped them up.

Eight people vanished from the garden out of thin air.

The key to enter the ancient tomb of Doria is actually a teleportation magic array.

Eight people were telegraphed away, with waves of dust rising from the ground and withered grass and fallen leaves fluttering in profusion.

Several servants and gardeners came over, sighing and holding brooms. They said they were very depressed. Why did the young lady always have to hold any event in the garden...
