Section 22 The House of Peron
As the night darkens, there is silence in the canyon.
"Let's rest here tonight."
The dark caves are dry and cool, and the southern summers are always hot and humid.
The ogre's tall body struggled to get in, and the two rock golems were naturally guarding the outside of the cave.
It's a good thing that there isn't the original owner in the cave, but just as Ironhide wants to sit down and rest, Duran's voice rang out: "Oh no, Ironskin, I mean, Abu and I will rest here tonight, not you." ”
The ogre was a little stunned: "Master, what does this mean?" We have now reached the northern exit of the canyon, and not far ahead are Bald Bell and their ......"
"I know, so I need you to join them!" Duran said, "You have to find a way to tell Bald Bell a piece of news. ”
"Message?"
"Before tomorrow evening, there will definitely be a luxurious carriage coming from the official road, passing by the West Mountain Pass. With the banner of the crescent moon on it, this luxurious carriage is the beloved carriage of Lord Andrew of White Sands, but don't be nervous, the person driving this carriage is not a dragonman. You need to let them know that this carriage carries a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry—so much that they will never be able to enjoy it for the rest of their lives. ”
Duran said slowly, "But you have to be careful, first, you have to reveal the news to the bald man. Second, you can't reveal it so easily to a bald man, you see? ”
The ogre's eyes rolled and showed a hint of bitterness: "Master...... I think I get it. ”
"Very well, if you succeed in this, I will consider you a qualified follower...... If it fails, I don't think there's any need for another cowardly and useless subordinate, you say? Duran waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”
A hint of fear flashed in Ironskin's eyes, and there seemed to be a special magic power in the human boy in front of him, which made him can't help but surrender. Duran spoke in a calm and calm tone, obviously not very strong, but naturally with a sense of confidence.
This kind of self-confidence is the most lacking trait of Iron Skin.
This made Ironhide even more in awe of Duran, Ironhide was very smart, and he understood the meaning of Duran's words as soon as he heard it.
"Obviously, the master wants to do something, and wants the bald man to be cannon fodder......" Tin slowly burrowed out of the cave, hesitating outside the cave with a full stomach, "but the bald man has never been a stupid person, although not as smart as me, but very suspicious. If you can't convince him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet the master's requirements. ”
The ogre's footsteps vibrated back and forth, and after a while, the footsteps quietly disappeared.
Sitting in the corner of the cave, Duran smiled: this big man was smarter than he thought, and with this group of ogres causing trouble, coupled with the power of the rock golems and his own stealth, tomorrow's plan would have more chances of success.
Thinking of this, Duran couldn't help but hesitate, compared to this operation, his strength was still too low.
An assassin apprentice of level 8 has not even reached the strength of the gray iron rank, and he is too vulnerable in front of a gold-level master. Even with the protection of the two rock golems, Duran was not necessarily safe.
"No, I have to find a way to improve my strength." Duran glanced at the sleeping fire-eater and quietly opened the evil contract in hand.
The Evil Pact stipulates that the contractor must enter the Evil Land once a week to complete the mission, but if the contractor is willing, he can enter the Evil Land early to complete the next week's mission.
The above is the explanation of the evil contract for entering the evil land, at first Duran was very strange, how could someone enter in advance! The Evil Land is so eerie, just one initial mission has cost Duran nine deaths, if it weren't for the forced entry when the time came, Duran would never have entered.
However, the rewards of the later quests, as well as the experience gained during the quests, made Duran suddenly wake up.
Cleaning up monsters in the Wicked Land can earn a lot of experience and equipment to improve your level and strength; And the rewards for successfully completing the mission are also very generous, attracting contractors to enter the evil land in advance.
"It's really sinister." Duran privately commented on the rule set by the Supreme Council, and the coercion became voluntary, and the greatest danger was easy to ignore under the attraction of task rewards.
Duran only completed the first mission last time, and he received benefits such as Oak Thorn, Cobweb's Ring, Terrible Gauntlet, and Stealth Skill Book, and his strength can be said to have more than doubled. And in terms of time, time flows ten times faster than the outside world, and even if you stay in it for a day, the outside world is only a little more than two hours.
"I'm going into the land of evil!" Duran gripped the oak thorn tightly and took a deep breath.
Tomorrow evening is destined for a fierce battle, and he must quickly improve his strength, and the best way to achieve this goal is to complete the task given by the Supreme Council.
"Are you sure you're going to the Evil Lands?" An icy voice rang in Duran's ears.
Abu was still asleep, and the heartless fire-eater didn't know what vigilance was. The rock golems, on the other hand, are unconscious creatures that only obey Duran's orders.
"Sure! Also, can I bring rock golems into the Covenant Lands? ”
The purple door quietly bloomed in the night, and the cold voice replied again: "The summons of the Contractor must not enter the Evil Lands!" ”
It seemed that he could not rely on the power of two puppets to run amok in the evil land, Duran shrugged and stepped into the door.
……
Coming to the village of bones again, Duran clearly felt that the village was a little colder.
He walked briskly to the campfire, and the fog in the street became thicker, which made him shudder a little.
With the warm light of the fire, Duran opens the third page of the evil contract, which is still the mission paperwork.
[Next Week's Mission: Cleaning Up the Village of Bones - House of Peron 2/19]
Tip 1: Casa Perón is on the corner of 9th Avenue and you can find it by the signs.
Tip 2: For information on the mission objective, the contractor must pay 1 amethyst
Tip 3: When the contractor enters the Evil Land for the second time, the permission is increased to lv2, the contract support system is activated, and the Evil Shop is opened.
……
With the third hint, a burst of light suddenly emitted from the evil contract, and this light gradually merged into Duran's arm.
Duran only felt a strange feeling, and after a strange feeling, a small light screen suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
This light screen does not occupy much space and will not affect Duran's vision, but as long as Duran focuses his eyes on the light screen, a series of data will pour down like a waterfall.
"This is the contract assistance system, and it's really much more convenient than opening a book!"
Duran was amazed, pale green translucent words appeared on his retina, and all the information and data on the evil contract, such as the character's surname, mission documents, etc., flew down and became clear at a glance.
[No. 91768, Duran]
Human, male surname, skinny, juvenile
[Class: Assassin (Apprentice) Lv8Exp:3/360]
[Follower: Fire-Eater (???) Lv?/Rock Golem (Gold) Lv31/Ogre (Gray Iron) Lv16]

……
[Gear 1: Terrible Boots]
[Gear 2: Bronze Dagger]
[Gear 3: Terrible Gauntlet]
[Gear 4: Cobwebs Ring]
[Gear 5: Oak Thorn]
……
With the Pact Assist system, Duran no longer has to open the Evil Pact to view a lot of data, just through the retina.
As for the evil shop, the contract assist system can't do it for you. Duran opens the last page of the Evil Pact, which is lined with a dense array of items that can be purchased with amethyst.
The contents of the wicked store are good, but the price is also intimidating to Duran.
"What!? A Shimmer-level crossbow costs 99 amethysts?! How many tasks do I have to complete to get it? ”
"Aurora Staff! This is a surname...... Well, 1999 amethysts? The Supreme Council is indeed a vampire. ”
Duran smiled bitterly and shook his head, the things in the evil store were incredibly expensive, and he could really afford very little.
Amethyst is the common currency of the evil land, and Duran only has three on him, one of which Duran is going to use to obtain information about the mission target - after all, sharpening the knife is not a woodcutter, which means that the family property he can use is only two.
"What can you buy for two amethysts?" Duran browsed through the countless items in the evil shop without hurry.
He noticed that many of the things had notes underneath: Contractor XXXX, and these things were supposed to be sold in the Evil Shop by other evil contract holders, so the price was also very expensive. Duran now has the right to buy, not sell.
"There are countless planes in the multiverse, and each main plane is separated by countless barbaric barriers and chaotic planes, and only one person in each plane can become the holder of the evil contract......" Duran pondered carefully, "What the hell is the Supreme Council for?" What is the purpose of the existence of the Evil Lands? ”
Thinking without clues is impossible to achieve, and Duran quickly identifies two things to buy.
[Inferior Holy Water]: The product of 100% dilution of No. 1 Holy Water contains a trace of divine power from the Great Lord of the Dawn - hey, don't think too much, it's cheap and not good, it's a trace of it, it's not much. - Sells for 1 amethyst
[Mutton Fat Candle]: After being lit, it can bring you light for 30 minutes, and evil will not be able to harm you. But what can I do in thirty minutes, my dear friend? Run for your life, or make yourself a rough coffin? - Sells for 1 amethyst.
Neither of these items has the contractor's number underneath them, and Duran presumably had been sold by the High Council. The most terrifying thing in the village of bones is things like evil spirits and unjust souls, and the divine power of the Lord of Dawn is the nemesis of evil spirits, and this candle can also provide Duran with a little respite at a critical time, so he chose to buy it without hesitation.
The next moment, the two amethysts in his hand disappeared without a trace, and a small green wooden box appeared around the campfire, clinging to the brown wooden box that had been there at the beginning.
"Now, let me see the objectives of this mission."
The last amethyst turned into a streamer and disappeared, and Duran's retina refreshed the mission objectives of the House of Peron:
――【Mission Objectives】
Ghost Brothers lv11
Headless Girl LV?
Beron's Wraith Lv19
