Volume 3: The Shadows Chapter 63 The Vortex of Conspiracy
The goal of the mission is to become an alchemist. To achieve something in alchemy, you don't need a lot of strength, this Corgi Rosen doesn't even have awakened magical energy, just an ordinary person.
According to the mission book, Corgi Rosen will set off from the remote city of Milan in the northwest frontier region of the empire, and after a long journey, he will be secretly escorted to Arthur City, the capital of the Sirius Empire, which will take about four months.
In the task book, the route of travel is also indicated.
The most difficult part of this task is that there are not only many magicians in the team escorting the opponent, but there is even a seventh-level magician!
"As you can see, this is a rare special task that everyone can do, but only one can get that reward that is so good that it makes people lose their minds. ”
As everyone carefully reviewed the mission information, the connector said on the side.
But almost no one listened, and everyone was attracted by the ridiculously high reward, which was enough to make many people gamble with their lives!
It's not that you can complete this task with strong strength, there are definitely a lot of people involved in this task, and if you're lucky, maybe you can pick up a bargain when the time comes.
Stimulated by this particular assassination mission, not many people even took on other missions, and most of them couldn't wait to rush to the mission location immediately.
Only a few people can resist the temptation and remain calm, after all, no matter how high the pay, life is not important.
Naturally, Nexus didn't take on other missions, he was just here to investigate the situation of the Assassin Alliance this time, and the mission had nothing to do with him.
Although the high reward also made his heart flutter, he still remembered the real mission he had come to the Sky Wolf Empire, and he also had some doubts about this mission.
For example, why is the itinerary of this alchemist named Corgi Rosen so clearly revealed?
What did he develop that would make him so valued and even send a seventh-level magician to escort him?
These questions were swirling in Kerth's mind, and he was puzzled, so he didn't plan to make this trip until he got more detailed information.
"By the way, if there is a change in the target's itinerary, the Assassins League will update the mission information in a timely manner. The usher finally added.
After the group took the mission, the Assassin League assembly was also declared over, and everyone dispersed.
The masked clown walked down the street and returned to the outside of the hotel, not entering through the main entrance, but climbed directly to the third floor, then took off his black robe and took off his mask.
After carefully perceiving and confirming that everything was normal, he let out a long sigh of relief and returned to bed to carry out his daily meditation practice.
No matter what, cultivation still can't be left behind.
The next morning, Bertha very kindly woke up and brought him breakfast, although he knew that the other party was careful in his heart, and he didn't break it, after all, who would dislike someone waiting for him?
He spent a few days in Lemped City, a period of time that was relatively uneventful, either asking for information from taverns or intelligence dealers, or staying in hotels to practice.
········
"Sir, where are we going next?"
As the carriage drove out of the city and into the suburbs, Bertha asked as she drove the carriage.
"Don Lanto City. ”
After a half-silence, Kers' voice came from inside the carriage.
In fact, he would not have gone to Don Lanto City in his original planned itinerary, although Don Lanto City is also in the direction of the capital Arthur City, but it will actually take a long detour to go there.
But Don Lanto was one of the cities that Corgi Rosen would pass through later.
I'm still a little concerned about that task...
"Okay!"
Bertha happily replied that after so many days together, Bertha was no longer as reserved as she was at the beginning, and Nexus didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
The carriage was rumbling, and the carriage was sitting on the soft cushion, but he was not practicing, but rubbing the black necklace in his hand.
It was the black necklace that Arcada gave him that could conceal his breath, which was supposed to be used when he passed through the Great Plains of Necromancy, but because of the more effective Secret Ring, it became a useless chicken rib.
But although it is useless to himself, Fox still doesn't dare to lose it, after all, the Ring of Concealment involves the palace, but it is his biggest secret, if the black necklace is lost, how can he explain how he passed through the Great Plains of Necromancy?
"But the problem is ········"
Because the energy in the black necklace is limited, it is estimated that it can just support him to return, so in the past few days in Remped City, he activated the black necklace, wanting to consume the energy in it, so that he can explain it when he returns.
However, the black necklace suddenly failed after a few days of use, and when he looked closely, he found that it was not an accident, but a man-made trace.
If Kerx hadn't had the Ring of Secrecy, the black necklace would have been dead about halfway through the Great Plains of Necromancy, and he would have died with no place to bury.
"Who is it·········
A chill flashed in Kerks' eyes.
The mission itself is just a pretense to kill him? No, there is no need for someone with that kind of energy to harm him so much, that is, the other party may not be as strong as he thinks?
"Arcada Das. ”
A cold voice came out of Kers's mouth, and from the moment it seems, the most suspicious person is him, but what reason does he have to do this?
Nexus couldn't figure it out.
However, no matter who the other party is, he will not know that he has the secret ring, so in the eyes of the other party, he is now a dead person, and he has moved from the bright side to the dark side, and he can go back and secretly investigate.
Thinking like this, the idea of rushing back in his heart became light, his own feelings for the empire are still relatively strong, he joined the Akatsuki Legion not only for his own better development, but also for the sake of doing his part for the country, after all, which man has not had a heroic dream of defending the country in his heart?
The countless tombstones standing in the Valhalla of the Reserve, the bloody soldiers on the battlefield against the tide of Warcraft, and even the arrogant nobles on weekdays were very heroic, all of which made him feel extremely shocked.
However, the nobles who wield the power want to put him to death, the stupid and blind civilians want to burn him at the stake at the risk of guarding the border, and they themselves risk infiltrating the Sirius Empire to spy on intelligence, but they also fall into a conspiracy.
Many people want to die by themselves, and all this has made Kerx feel deeply tired.
In his heart, his belief in the Akatsuki Empire also began to decline inadvertently.
At the same time, there was a sense of urgency to increase his strength as soon as possible, as if there had always been an invisible big hand that kept dragging him into the center of the whirlpool, so that he could never get out.
Why did the palace choose him?What was hidden behind Ariskod's ambiguous words and strange behavior?
Only when you have absolute strength can you have the confidence to deal with everything.
As the carriage kept moving, Fox cursed softly.
"Fuck it. ”
