Chapter 20 Special Missions(1/2)
Karui glanced at Ah-Dai, with a trace of doubt in his eyes. He seemed surprised by Ah-Dai's ignorance, but he still explained: "The Death Mountain is the most terrifying place on the continent. It is very large, almost the same area as the Xibo tribe.
That’s almost it. A small part is within the territory of the Tianyuan Clan, and a large part is in the Huasheng Empire. It has almost become the natural dividing line between the Huasheng Empire and our Suoyu Federation. Now, if we people in the Suoyu Federation think about Huasheng,
The empire can only be passed through the Tiangang Mountains or the territory of the Holy Holy See, which is not far from it. Otherwise, you have to take a long way around. According to legend, there was the place where the great first pope and many powerful magicians sealed the ancient demons thousands of years ago.
In this place, there are all kinds of terrifying monsters living in the mountains. Almost no one who goes in can come out. Several large mercenary groups once went to explore, but no one came back. I am afraid that we mobilized the whole group
People may not be able to obtain the best magic crystals. I have seen several similar tasks in the association of Red Hurricane City before, all of which were looking for some particularly precious items, and these items came from the Death Mountain. It is said that,
The closer the mountain is to the center, the more powerful the monsters are. The main reason why this mission to find the best magic crystal is not the highest level - super is because it is on the edge of the Death Mountain."
Xuan Yue said: "It sounds like a very interesting place, the Death Mountains? This is the first time I have heard of it. You said that few people can come out of the Death Mountains. How did the news about the top-quality magic crystals come about? I see
, there must be a lot of exaggeration in it, I don’t believe how powerful the monster is.” In fact, almost everyone in the Holy See knows the name of the Death Mountain, but Xuan Yue’s father forbids everyone from telling his daughter,
No one knows Xuan Yue better than him. If Xuan Yue knows that there is such a place, it will definitely arouse great interest in exploring. But God is not as good as man, and his efforts will be in vain.
Xuan Yue ignored Karui, who was speechless by her own question, and turned to Dumb and said: "I have decided to take on this task of obtaining the best magic crystal. How about it? If you are afraid, you don't have to go."
Dumb shook his head and said without hesitation: "I'll go, but, miss, if we get the best magic crystal, I hope you can give me a piece, okay?" For him, filial piety to Coris is far greater than respect to death.
Mountain fear.
Xuan Yue said generously: "No problem, that's it. Let's go and pick up the mission."
Karui was dumbfounded as he watched Xuan Yue and Dui run to the task reception counter to take on this task that even their Red Hurricane mercenary group did not dare to touch. From their tone, it seemed as if they had already obtained the best magic crystal. He hurriedly ran
Going to the counter, "Miss Magician, you can't go to that place! You don't even have a soldier. When two magicians go there, aren't they going to die?"
Xuan Yue has already handed her mercenary card to the service staff behind the counter, "Don't worry, how can we have high profits without danger? What I have decided will not be changed. We are flexible because we have few people.
, If we really can’t defeat the monster, won’t we run away? Hey, hurry up! I want to take on that special mission, so hurry up and register, we are about to leave.” The last sentence was said to the service staff at the counter.
The waiter at the counter thought he heard wrongly at first, but it was only now that he realized it, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss Magician, are you sure?"
Xuan Yue smiled and said: "Of course it's confirmed, hurry up, by the way, from now on you have to call me the leader of the Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group."
Looking at the service staff registering, Carui was still making her final efforts, "Miss Magician, that place is too dangerous. I think you should give up the idea."
Xuan Yue took the registered card from the service staff, smiled at Karui and said: "Uncle Karui, you are too old, you don't even have the courage to be old, aren't you a monster? We just happened to go
Let’s meet, Dumb, let’s go.” After saying that, he quickly ran out of the mercenary union.
Behind Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue, there was a sound of regret. No one was optimistic about their mission.
Ka Rui has been in the society for many years, and of course he will not change his position just because Xuan Yue said that he is timid. He shook his head sadly, "It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, what a pity for two magicians! Death Mountain? That's
Is it a place where people can go?”
In the shadows outside the mercenary union, two figures were talking quietly.
"Yin Er, please go back and tell the bishop that the lady is going to the Death Mountain. I will follow her there."
"Ginichi, let's just stop Miss. But we must not let her go to the Death Mountains! That's a forbidden area declared by the Holy See."
"Hey -, I know it too, but do you think we can stop it, miss? You also know her temper. Have you forgotten the pain of being baptized by her holy light last time? You go quickly, only the bishop
Only adults can prevent the young lady from taking risks, and I will try my best to protect them. If the bishop has not arrived at the edge of the Death Mountain, I will try to stop them again."
"Okay, Ginichi, I'll go first. We must protect the safety of the young lady, otherwise, we will all be doomed. Although the young lady has a bit of a temper, she is still very kind-hearted!"
"It goes without saying that I have watched Miss grow up. As soon as she was born, the director gave me this task. I couldn't even believe it at the time. After all, we are not in the trial court.
What the hell! Go quickly, time is life."
One of the two black shadows dodged and disappeared, while the other followed quietly behind Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue said excitedly as she walked: "Ah-Dai, tell me, if we complete this task, the mercenary level will be improved a lot! Maybe we can get a special-level mercenary Dangdang, it's so interesting. Hehe.
"She seemed to have forgotten the conflict with Dumb in the morning, and her heart was filled with expectations for adventure.
Just now, they had gone to the Magician's Guild to retrieve the Tiangang Sword. Ah-Dai was not dissatisfied with Xuan Yue for taking this task. He only had the term "Excellent Crystal" in his mind. "Miss, I want to ask you a question."
Xuan Yue was in a good mood and said, "Just ask."
Dumb said: "Miss, do you know what the best crystal looks like? If we don't even know what the target looks like, how are we going to find it?"
Xuan Yue smiled mysteriously, came to Ah-Dai's side, looked around cautiously, and whispered: "I didn't expect you to be able to think about problems. Of course I know what it's like, otherwise, I wouldn't pick it up."
This is the mission.”
Dumb was stunned and said: "You know?"
Xuan Yue said proudly: "Of course. Don't forget, my father is a cardinal of the Holy See. I haven't seen anything. Look." As he said that, he stretched out his short-handled magic wand in front of Dumb.
Pointing to the transparent gem on it, he whispered: "This is the best magic crystal."
Dui had never paid attention to Xuan Yue's magic wand. When he heard what she said, he couldn't help but look at it carefully. On the surface, there was nothing strange about this magic wand, which was only about a foot long. The white body of the wand was brilliant.
It is moist, with a faint divine aura, and the tail end is sharp and tapered. At the top of the staff, white wings of the same texture fly up diagonally, slightly curved, forming two arcs, just like angel wings.
In the center of the wings, the top of the staff, is inlaid with a transparent gem the size of an egg. The gem seems to be flowing with liquid. Under the reflection of the sun, faint light flashes from time to time. He points to the gem in the center.
, Dumb said: "Are you saying that this is the best magic crystal?"
Xuan Yue nodded and said: "Yes! Dad told me so. He will definitely not lie. Don't you believe it?"
Dui looked carefully at the transparent gem in the center of the magic wand, but didn't see anything strange. Xuan Yue explained: "There will be a special energy fluctuation in the best magic crystal. I will definitely recognize it as soon as I see it.
They said just now that we have no soldiers, how could they know that you are a soldier? Hehe, let's go quickly, let's prepare some food first, and then we'll set off."
Ah-Dai followed Xuan Yue to the fat boss's steamed bun shop. Xuan Yue glanced at Ah-Dai and said, "Don't you love steamed buns? Let's prepare more so that we can eat them on the road." With that said, she walked towards the steamed bun shop with her head held high.
Go. Dumb was stunned, his heart fluctuated slightly, but he followed over without saying anything.
As soon as he saw the arrival of Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue, the fat boss said excitedly: "Ah-Dai, are you here? I was just thinking about paying you back the remaining money? You gave me too much yesterday. Not even one of my steamed buns.
Gold coins aren’t even worth it!”
Dui lifted up the cloak on his head and said with a naive smile: "Uncle, just accept it, that's what I should give you."
Xuan Yue came over and said, "Boss, I want to buy steamed buns, how much does one cost?"
The fat boss said: "Two coins for each. Miss, you came here with Ah-Dai, so you can just take it. The money Ah-Dai gave you yesterday was much more abundant."
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "I want a lot. You know, he is very good at eating."
The fat boss chuckled and said, "Take as much as you want. It's enough."
Xuan Yue glanced at Ah-Dai. After meeting the fat boss, Ah-Dai returned to the same silly look as when he first met her. It seemed that he was still angry with himself! He was so stingy. That cold feeling was so uncomfortable,
If you want him to work as your follower in a reliable manner, it seems that you need to bribe him well.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yue stretched out her finger to the fat boss and said, "I want a thousand steamed buns."
Dumb and the fat boss looked at Xuan Yue in surprise at the same time. The fat boss's feet softened and he almost fell to the ground, and said in a voiceless voice: "What? A thousand steamed buns."
Xuan Yue looked at their surprised looks and said with a smile: "Yes! I want a thousand, and I want them tonight. In this way, even if he eats ten a day, it will be enough for more than three months."
The fat boss stuttered because of his surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "But, but, one thousand, one thousand steamed buns, how are you going to get them!"
Xuan Yue said mysteriously: "Then don't worry about it. Just prepare a thousand steamed buns for us, and I will give you the money. Dumb, let's go and buy something else." After that, he took out the money.
He took out an amethyst coin and threw it to the boss next to him, then pulled Dumb's sleeve and left.
Dumb was also curious. A thousand steamed buns weighed two to three hundred kilograms in total. Although he didn't care about the weight, he couldn't carry a big bag of steamed buns on an adventure. But he didn't ask, he knew,
Even if you ask Xuan Yue yourself, you may not be able to answer him. Anyway, you will know when the steamed buns are ready.
Behind them was the fat boss with a wry smile on his face. He said to himself: "A thousand steamed buns, even if I risk my life, I still can't finish them in one night!"
After leaving the steamed bun shop, Xuan Yue started a large purchase, mainly food, and also bought some clothes for Ah-Dai and herself. These things naturally came into Ah-Dai's hands. Everything Xuan Yue saw felt very fresh, she couldn't help but
They had to buy, but they definitely had to look. She appeared in almost all the shops in the small town, and it didn't end until the evening. At this time, Ah-Dai's body was already covered with all kinds of items, and just as they were about to go back to Mantou
When I entered the store, I was stopped by a group of people. This was an empty street with few people passing by.
This is a group of lightly armored warriors. They are not very old and look to be around twenty. There are more than a dozen of them, uniformly dressed. They all have mercenary badges on their chests. Three of them still have silver mercenary badges, showing that
It shows the strength of their second-level mercenaries. The most conspicuous one is one of the female mercenaries. She is wearing a brown Pike, with long fiery red hair hanging down behind her. She has a very beautiful appearance, heroic brows, and carries a
She had a light-colored long bow with silver metallic luster shining on it. She was obviously an archer. Her seductive eyes flowed and fell on Ah-Dai.
Being stopped in front of her, Xuan Yue was not surprised at all. She hid next to Ah-Dai and said, "They seem to have bad intentions. It's up to you."
Dumb nodded slightly, took a few steps forward, and said politely: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
A second-level mercenary led by the mercenaries stepped forward. Among the mercenaries, he was the only one wearing silver light armor. At first glance, he was their leader. He smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Magician, we
They are members of the Yuehen Mercenary Group, and I am the leader Yuehen, and these are all my good brothers. We have no ill intentions in stopping you, we just want to seek cooperation."
Dumb was stunned and said: "Seeking cooperation?"
Yuehen nodded and said: "Yes, we all saw the process of you accepting the mission in the mercenary union just now. We are also very interested in that top-quality magic crystal. We don't know if we can cooperate with your mercenary group.
, how about exploring Death Mountain together?”
Upon hearing that it was not a robbery, Xuan Yue hurried over, stood in front of Ah-Dai, and said, "Want to cooperate with us? What do you want to get?"
Yue Hen smiled slightly and said: "Miss Magician, you have also seen that we are all a group of young people. We have heard what you said in the union. We are not for money, just for adventure. We only have mountains like Death Mountain."
A place like this is worthy of our visit. If we get a lot of top-quality magic crystals, I hope we can share some of them with each other, which will be enough. After all, you are the ones who took the mission. If it weren’t for you, miss, we really wouldn’t have the courage.
Woolen cloth."
