Chapter 10: Foreplay (2) - Draft Mission
Chapter 10: Foreplay (1) Quest
In a remote corner of the bustling street, in a tavern with dimly lit lights. The lobby that can accommodate hundreds of people is only vaguely a few figures at this time.
"Ah, sorry! It's late. A figure hurriedly appeared in the lobby of the tavern, and then came to the target's location, and unceremoniously ordered a cup of hot tea and a snack, and sat down.
Staring at the middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed formally, the lenses on his face reflected the lights in the dim hall, and he had no expression to speak of, Si Ye couldn't help but snort in his heart.
"It's clear that you asked me to come, but you made me wait for a while!!!" Regarding the man's dissatisfaction, Si Ye didn't have a trace of collection!
However, the man turned a blind eye to this.
"Well, it's really good tea, I can't believe that this could be brewed in such a remote place!" the man who sat down took a sip of tea and said casually.
Then, the pastry ordered by the middle-aged man was also put on the table, and he elegantly took out a little from it and put it in his mouth. That action is like that of a famous nobleman.
Indeed, this man, who can easily be locked into a nobleman at a glance, does have a good identity in this eastern capital! Sugioka, a great nobleman in the eastern capital, is also one of the several rulers of Shura Mound!
"Tell me, what are you looking for me......" Si Ye said in the tone of an old acquaintance.
The man who had just finished the last bite of his hand, after wiping his hands, lifted the frame in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Alright! Now it's time to cut to the chase. Sugioka retracted his somewhat languid appearance, and the sense of urgency that only came when he was back in earnest!
A delicate jade box was quickly handed to Si Ye by the man, "This is the next task!"
Glancing at the jade box on the table, Si Ye's heart was not too surprised, obviously he had already guessed the reason.
[Hidden Mission, difficulty level up to S level!] Target: The Golden Holy Spirit, one of the "Six Holy Spirits" collected in the Star and Moon Empire. 】
"As for the identity of your mission! The organization has already been prepared!" Sugioka handed over a piece of white paper as well.
The contents of the paper are all the information of a new identity. There are two words at the beginning - "Wu Hao".
......
"Hu ......." exhaled white air and walked out of the dimly lit tavern, and Si Ye once again poured into the crowd......
All around, there are strangers passing by, and there are bustling avenues lined with shops...... The air is already feeling slightly cooler, and it seems that it is the arrival of midwinter.
The pedestrians wrapped in their coats came and went like a tidal wave! No one knew where they would go! What kind of life they had! Whether they returned home to meet their relatives and friends, or to be with their loved ones, or to hide alone in a dark corner......
It doesn't matter if you're happy, angry, or have low self-esteem......
He shook his head slightly, trying to wave away his trapped thoughts. However, in any case, the previous conversation seems to be engraved in my heart and lingers...... The same goes for the slightly mocking and annoying face!
"Six Holy Spirits?...... Why!" Hearing this word, Si Ye first took a look, and the arms hidden under the table couldn't help but clench together, his eyes were cracked, and his green tendons were exposed...... Uncontrollable anger, and a body trembling with fear, flashed in the eyes of the man named Sugioka......
Immediately, the corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, and there was an imperceptible smile. He leaned back, returning to his previous form......
"Xiao Si!" this is the man's consistent name for Si Ye!
"I should have said it! Don't show your true emotions in front of people!" said the man with a little playfulness, and once again brought the tea in the cup to his eyes and sniffed a few sips. To understand tea, you have to taste tea first, and you have to smell tea first.
"I, say, for, why, yes, six, saint, spirit......!" Si Ye seemed to ignore the man's words, and could not listen to them at all, but instead roared in a low voice.
......
“...... Hehe! Why!" The man straightened the frame again, and sneered, "Then don't you need to say! That's a miracle left over from ancient times!" In the end, there was a fanaticism in the man's eyes......
Sugioka, who noticed this, immediately corrected it. "Ahem, I'm sorry, you forgot that point!"
Looking at the face of the man in front of him, Si Ye really wanted to punch like this.
"You know, the presence of the six Holy Spirits......" The man smiled with his arms crossed over his chest.
......
In ancient times, it was an unattainable time...... Highly developed spiritual guidance technology and advanced civilization are becoming more and more prosperous than any other period in history.
Civilization has become people's enthusiasm for exploring everything, and science and technology have created the wings for people to run towards their dreams...... It was a time of divine presence, a time of God's favor...... It was a world as bright as the stars...... This period is also collectively known as the "Spiritual Calendar".
However, after human beings have the wings to fly towards their dreams, the greed and ugliness in their hearts will also surge! What will be followed by a thousand-year war! In the era of the extinction of countless species, advanced civilization and technology will ignite the map...... Fire and sword stain the earth red...... Tears of sorrow spilled all over the sky ......!
For tens of thousands of years since then, the world has been in a period of exhaustion, the depletion of elements, the decline of civilization, and the death of science and technology, all of which are the sorrow of human hearts......
......
"For this, I felt the need to do something!!, and the six Holy Spirits were a product of that time...... You should understand the value of it!"
The corners of Sugioka's mouth, the seeping smile, appeared even more suddenly at this time!
For these,
