Chapter 17: On the Sky Island
"It's magnificent, go in and see what it's like. When Chiyang walked in the door, he saw a plaque in the house that said "Daily Tasks", and there were many things like billboards around the house, which were covered with notes, and at the very edge of the room there were two large counters, which said that the reward collection office and the credit exchange office were written respectively, and each place was overcrowded.
"A lot of people, go to the reward collection office first and ask how this works. Chiyang walked to the counter at the task reward and saw an uncle sitting inside, Chiyang knocked on the table and said, "Uncle, how do you take the task here." ”
The uncle raised his head and glanced at Chiyang, lowered his head again and said: "Do you see the task board on the other side, the tasks are all pasted on it, and after completing the task, you will come to me with the task paper to receive the reward, and the task rewards are clearly written on the paper." ”
Chiyang looked at the rows of task cards behind him and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle." ”
"Well, go ahead, remember not to take the task or come to receive the reward without completing the task, such people usually do not have good results, this is a reminder, do it yourself. After saying this, the uncle stopped talking to Chiyang.
Chiyang said thank you again and went to the quest card to select the quest.
Chiyang finally squeezed in, looked up and saw that there were many various tasks hanging on the sign, what to give to Grandma Li's house in the east of the city, to clean up the house for Li Si's family in the west of the city, etc., looking at this bunch of strange tasks, and the reward is still coins and the like, now Chiyang needs the most credits, and after looking at it for a while, Chiyang's head is big, and he thought in his heart, "What kind of task is this, cooking, cleaning up the house, this is a task? Isn't it funny." ”
Chiyang, who is full of black lines, is still trying to find a task with credits, just when he found the third task board, he saw a task with credits, the task wrote, I am a teacher of the college, and I am now recruiting an apprentice, the work content is negotiable, you can get fifty credits per month, and those who are interested should go to the entrance of the sky island, where someone will lead.
Why is there no one to take such a good task, is there something greasy in it, but this reward is so generous that Chiyang can't help but take the task.
"Classmate, have you taken a fancy to this task, I advise you not to take it, you must know that these fifty credits are a reward that can only appear in difficult tasks, why is it here, don't you realize the danger in it?" said a man with a thin body, wearing a white coat and a somewhat elegant face, to Chiyang.
"I also think there is a problem here, and I dare to ask the honorable name. Chiyang also expressed his opinion, and then the elegant man opposite gave a salute and said: "It's abrupt, contemptible Zhou Zheng, a student in the first grade." ”
"Zhou Zheng, my name is Chiyang first-grade special recruitment class. Chiyang also said with a salute.
"It turned out to be a special recruitment class, and it was disrespectful, maybe you can do this job. Zhou Zheng heard that Chiyang was a person from the special recruitment class, and he didn't react as violently as others, but smiled and said uncomfortably.
"You're so sure of me. Chiyang looked at Zhou Zheng puzzled.
"Because none of the people who were recruited into the special recruitment class were mediocre people, I believe that the same is true of Chiyang. ”
"Then I will lend you auspicious words, and I will take this task. Chiyang took this task off the task board, and said to Zhou Zheng: "I have time to chat with Zhou Zheng, now I have to go to the mission location." "Chiyang must take this task now, fifty credits per month, a low-level martial art needs a hundred credits to exchange, if you don't take the risk of accepting this task, then the cycle of becoming stronger will have to become longer, but Wuyang doesn't have so much time anymore.
"Then I wish Chiyang a success. Zhou Zheng gave another salute.
"Farewell. "Farewell"
After the two separated, Chiyang compared the school map and walked towards the mission location.
The road here is eighteen bends, and Chiyang, who turns around and around, finally arrives at the entrance of the empty island, the entrance is a one-story ordinary house, usually nothing, but there is no harm if there is no comparison, and it is very magnificent and luxurious to build everywhere in this school, but the sudden appearance of a mediocre building will seem particularly abrupt.
Chiyang walked up to the door, knocked on it, and asked, "Is there anyone?" ”
I heard a creak and the door was opened by an old man with white hair, and the old man opened his mouth and said, "You have come here to work as an apprentice, show me the task you have received." ”
Chiyang stretched out his hand and handed the task slip to the old man, and after reading it, the old man nodded and said, "You are the thirteenth of this month, I hope you can stick to it, come with me." ”
Chiyang, who heard that he was the thirteenth, was very apprehensive, after all, he didn't know what happened to the top twelve.
In this way, the apprehensive Chiyang followed the old man to the backyard, the backyard was a big open space, there was nothing, I saw the old man walk to the middle of the yard, his hand gestured to the air a few times, and many lines appeared on the ground, just like a magic circle.
"This is a teleportation array, from the hand of a seventh-level tattoo master, this is the only place to go to the Sky Island, come and stand next to me. The old man saw Chiyang's confused expression and kindly explained to Chiyang.
Chiyang nodded clearly, and walked into the pattern array, and heard the old body shout "up" The pattern array at Chiyang's feet emitted a dazzling light, and suddenly such a bright light appeared in front of him, his eyes would instinctively close, and when Chiyang opened his eyes again, he was already on the empty island.
Everything on the sky island is new to Chiyang, the clouds are around, within reach, the birds pass by, not afraid of humans at all, the rainbow is built everywhere from the clouds on the left, and the stream, floating from one island to another, yes, it is floating, the gravitational force is completely broken here, and there seems to be an invisible track in the air that allows this stream to float to the islands. When the old man saw Chiyang's appearance that he had never seen the world, he didn't laugh at it, but patiently introduced it.
"There are a total of twelve islands like this in the academy, and each of them corresponds to a supreme, and the supreme of this island is the next morning supreme. ”
Chiyang didn't understand what this meant, obviously the empty islands he saw in the college profile were where the teachers lived, how could there be any supreme. But the old man didn't give Chiyang a chance to ask questions, so he continued:
"The twelve islands should be arranged by the stars in the sky, as the eyes of our school, and the houses under the island are also built according to the layout of the stars, in short, the entire Thousand Stars Academy is a super large pattern array, and the name of the Thousand Stars Academy is based on this. “
Seeing that the old man stopped talking about this, Chiyang hurriedly asked the question he wanted to ask, "Isn't this where our teacher lives? ”
"Haha, little doll, you really have a lot of questions, so I'll explain to you one by one, first of all, your teachers are all disciples of these twelve supreme beings, so as a disciple, of course, you live by the master's side, and secondly, the strength of the supreme has reached the realm of the ten stages, and you are only one step away from ascending to the altar, but this step is too difficult, too difficult, and why I tell you this, it is because someone asked me to take care of you. ”
"Take care of me, who is it, I don't know any big people, what's going on. Chiyang asked with a frown.
"Haha, that kid is already mysterious, since he doesn't want to tell you, I can't say it, otherwise my good wine will be gone, hahaha. The old man smiled very happily, which made Chiyang even more confused, Elder Li is like this, this old man is also like this, what kind of person is the Supreme Disciple of the next morning.
"Don't think about it, little doll, I'll take you to the mission location first, come with me. "The person who came took Chiyang to the depths of the island, Chiyang couldn't help but feel how big this empty island was when he was on the island, but when he walked up, he found that this island was much bigger than he imagined.
After walking for about 20 minutes, Chiyang saw a luxurious building from a distance, and the more he walked, the more surprised Chiyang became, and after a while, he arrived at the main entrance, and Chiyang's mouth was so shocked that he didn't close it.
The white stone gate is carved with stars, as if this gate is the entrance to the sky. There is a stone plaque directly above the stone gate, which reads 'Tattooed Star Pavilion' three big characters, the wall next to it is also all carved with stars, gorgeous, and these two walls are endless, there is no end in sight, there are two monster stone statues of snake head chicken body duck foot rat tail in front of the door, very weird, but that kind of chilling murderous atmosphere, people have to stay away from it.
The old man saw that Chiyang was frightened by the momentum of the stone statues, and laughed a few times and said: "These two stone statues are made of the eighth-order spirit beast Star Eater Beast, although there is no threat, but the murderous aura left by the eighth-order spirit beast before its death is still there, if you don't have a firm will, you will be scared by these two stone statues, you just behaved well, just took two steps back, and five of the twelve people who came earlier than you were scared away by these two things." ”
"I just glanced at those two monsters, and I felt that my soul was going to be torn apart by these two Star Eaters, but after I took two steps back, why did the red lines on my body become so hot, but the discomfort caused by the Star Eaters also dissipated in this heat, what was going on, it was incredible. Chiyang suspiciously touched the red lines of his clothes with his hand.
"Alright, let's go inside, and you'll know what your mission is later. The old man pushed it with his hand, and the stone door was opened.
Chiyang followed the old man into the courtyard, and the courtyard responded to the poem "Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, the corridor waist is back, and the eaves are pecked." "But the building here should be more exquisite than Afang Palace, and the density of spiritual power inside is also incomparable to the outside world."
"This is where the Supreme and the teachers live, so envious. Chiyang felt every grass and tree here, and the physical and mental exhaustion disappeared in an instant.
Chiyang followed the old man to an attic, and the plaque in the attic had a separate word for medicine, and then the old man stopped and said, "Geng Laoqi, I brought someone here again, hurry up and pick up someone." ”
"This old-timer speaks so imposingly, and it doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, it seems that you have to pay attention to it in the future. Chiyang was frightened by the tone of the old-timer, and thought silently in his heart.
"Here it is, Elder Gao. ”
