Chapter 43: The Immortal Black King: Lugardo
"Huh...... Interesting. ”
The closed hinge door was pulled open with a click, and the shopkeeper leaned on the door frame with his arms crossed, and looked at Antonieva with some playfulness.
"I can accept your application for a team challenge. But correspondingly, if you fail the challenge, have you ever thought about what kind of punishment you will get if you disturb the 'Dragon King'? ”
"Punishment...... Punish?! ”
Otilia on the side couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this, and with a little rudeness, she opened her personal terminal in front of the shopkeeper, called up the "Dragon King's Lair" challenge task, pointed to the task panel, and stammered and asked: "However, as described in the mission hall, this is a mission with no restrictions and punishments." ”
"Oh? But how do I remember that there was? The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head, flicked the dandruff between his fingernails, and said nonchalantly, "Well, or you just add a rule on a whim." ”
"You! Temporary changes to mission elements will not be allowed in Academy City! Otilia puffed out her cheeks and looked at the middle-aged man fiercely, this is deliberately finding fault, right?!
"Ollie, it seems that there is indeed such a rule."
Antoneva raised his hand and stopped Otilia's next words, his amber eyes flickered, and he looked at the man in front of him with a solemn face, "But you can't find it on the mission panel, because this rule is written in the Covenant of the Spirits." ”
With his right hand clenched into his chest and a slight bow to the middle-aged man, Antoneva continued calmly: "That is the domain privilege enjoyed by Venerables with unique titles above the high-level spirit masters. After all, the authority is so high that even I, as the chief, can't take the initiative to explore the existence of the store, except for the head of the academy, only a Titled Venerable like you can do it. ”
"Or to be more precise, the only person who can have such privileges in the Department of Traits is you, one of the most dazzling S-class geniuses in the history of the Jurassis Academy, the [Immortal Black King] who suddenly disappeared from everyone's attention after the great war twenty years ago, Senior Lucarto."
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
"Well, little Antoneva, you deserve to be the exemplary chief student of the academy. Maybe only a child like you, who can understand the past so clearly, can know this. ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper, or rather Lugarto, applauded approvingly, and said meaningfully, "However, everything that was past is already in the past." What's more important is your next challenge. I don't discriminate just because you know me. ”
Touching the stubble on his chin, Lucardo raised his eyebrows, "Let's say it first, I won't interfere in those things back then, and you probably won't be able to learn any powerful words from me." If what I know is correct, you are in a pretty bad situation. There is nothing I can do without a reasonable penalty consideration. ”
"Hmm. Yes, it's pretty bad, it's almost like there's nothing but debt. That's why we came up with the challenge of teaming up for the 'Dragonlord's Lair'. Don't worry, you won't be embarrassed, after all, you're also a good friend of Lord Hiro! ”
Antoneva nodded calmly, emphasized "good friend" heavily, and said sweetly: "If we fail in the challenge, then how about the three of us stay in this small shop and work as maids for free for three years?" ”
"As for the content of the challenge," Antoneva smiled slightly, pushing the confused Yumeng forward, "Of course it's ......"
