No matter what the means, anyway, this pass and mercenary upgrade proof are in hand - it will take at least a month or two to grind to the fourth-level mercenary team according to the regular steps to take on the task and grind the credit, after all, for a small team with a small name, it is not so easy for you to take on twenty tasks, and the competition in this industry is fierce.

To tell the truth, Hao Ren remembered that Taobao on the earth came: if this matter is handed over to those Taobao professional households with good reviews today, it is estimated that it will be more neat than him, and the mercenary rating in the other world is only level five......

However, another main reason why Hao Ren's small method can succeed today is that the mercenary association is too lazy to care about him, and the world is still in the stage of the supremacy of human rule: the boundary between the fifth-level mercenary group and the fourth-level mercenary group is not very important, even if a group of powerless rookies (in fact, many mercenaries are really not good at fighting, they help solve the troubles of residents, more like contract producers who run errands) can help people find cats and dogs twenty times, which is just an artificial boundary used to judge whether the team is newly built, Even if someone stole chickens and played tricks, the association didn't bother to investigate, and the eldest sister in charge of task registration was in a hurry to get off work to eat, so she didn't bother to argue with Hao Ren, so she simply fooled it over.

Now Hao Ren and his entourage are walking the streets of the town with their badge (a small rectangular metal plate, similar to a work card, with a crystal plate embedded in the middle to store information). Hao Ren had a full set of information about the Beintz Blood Lake incident in his hand, plus he had just asked Betsy about the situation, and now he finally had a comprehensive understanding of the whole thing and this mysterious blood lake.

Beintz Blood Lake is a lake located in the middle of a savage land on the western side of the kingdom of Holletta. The entire territory of the Kingdom of Halletta resembles a horizontal irregular trapezoid on the map, and the Beinz Blood Lake is located on the short side to the west. As such, it is also part of the borders of the kingdom. Further west beyond the Lake of Blood is the land of the scattered tribal states established by the mountain people and a part of the werewolves of the West. Due to the long history of the Kingdom of Horletta, it has passed the early stage of expansion and impetuosity of the great powers. Coupled with the fact that the current ruler of the kingdom is committed to internal development and co-opting the power of its neighbors, it has good relations with several tribal states in the west, and the area around the blood lake has become a very stable national border - this is a good thing for the countries on both sides of the border, because the considerable area around the lake is a dangerous zone, which is inhabited by violent mutant monsters, and in the event of war, the belligerents will always use various secret techniques to drive these monsters into the territory of the hostile country, which is a disaster for everyone.

The wasteland near Beintz's Blood Lake was both a defensive barrier and a ticking time bomb. It's something that no one can do.

The size of this lake is about 120 kilometers long, and the widest part is more than 40 kilometers, but there are a series of scattered small depressions at the north and south ends of the lake, which spread out for dozens of kilometers like fragments broken from the red gem of the blood lake, so the entire blood lake is extremely vast. Its most distinctive feature is the blood-red water: all the water bodies, including the blood lake itself and the surrounding satellite lakes, show a bright red color all year round, while the small Chardan River, which is only a line away from the Beinz blood lake system on the south side, is extremely clear, and the two bodies of water are very close to each other but distinct, which is a wonder. That's why Blood Lake got its name.

Just like the legend of the goddess who destroyed the world that Betsy told Hao Ren at the beginning, the blood lake is regarded by many people in this world as a holy place related to the goddess, and the current mainstream legend believes that the blood lake is transformed by the wine cup thrown by the goddess in the world (Hao Ren thinks that this is the meaning of smashing out a pit), and the red water body in the lake is dyed red by the red wine in the wine glass. Because this cup represents the wrath of the goddess against the sins of mortals, the "blood and water" in the lake represents the sins of mortals, as long as the sins of the world are not removed for a day. The lake of blood will always be red.

Of course, there are other legends about this lake, such as a drop of blood from the goddess. Or a drop of blood and tears shed by the goddess when she saw the evil rampant on the earth, but because neither of these two theories could "explain" the reason for the destruction of ancient civilizations, they did not become popular. At present, the largest sect in the world, the "Radiance Sect", worships the goddess of creation as the supreme god. In order to warn the world not to forget the calamities caused by the arrogance of the ancients, they used the first of the most popular legends to explain the phenomenon of the Blood Lake.

Regardless of the legend, the wild and dangerous area around the Blood Lake must have something to do with the crimson body of water, where the usual crops and most of the common plants could not be grown on the land nourished by the water of the Blood Lake, and instead were all kinds of strange and wonderful magical plants, which were much larger in size, with dark leaves, and often of high value as medicinal or magical materials, which the Church claimed were the result of the blessing of the goddess. But with great stakes comes great risks, and the strange plant systems around the Blood Lake are home to a large number of strange creatures that cannot be seen in the outside world, most of which are fierce and powerful, have a strong sense of territory, and almost all of them have natural magic - even the rabbits that eat grass are like this. Many people will venture around the Blood Lake to gather materials, but few dare to venture into the hinterland alone because they can't beat the rabbits...... Well, you can't beat Warcraft.

However, these legends and stories can only be heard by Hao Ren, he doesn't care if the goddess's destruction has anything to do with him, because he knows the real goddess, and knows that it is an off-line eldest sister who doesn't bother to take care of even if humans stand up as gods, and he cares about the disappearance of the temple orb that happened not long ago.

The "Cult of Radiance" is rooted in the world's oldest large country, the Kingdom of Holletta, which was established at almost the same time as the kingdom, and it was the first state religion of Holleta before the doctrine was spread to the whole world, and the Templar Orb was obtained by the first pope of the Church and the first king of Holletta from a "sacred place", it is said that it represents the last trace of trust of the goddess in this world, and is naturally the common treasure of the kingdom and the church. According to the Church, the Goddess Guò Templar Orb understands the trajectory of the world after the end of the world, detecting whether the evil of the world is sprouting again, so every year the Church and the royal family carry out a ritual "Goddess Tour", the Orb is heavily guarded from the royal city of Stunin in the eastern part of the kingdom, passing through four sanctuaries and four ruins in the kingdom along the way, and finally ending at the Beinz Blood Lake, where the legendary flame of extinction first burned. The people of this world believe that in this way, they can express to the gods their determination to change their ways.

The orb will stay at the Beinz Blood Lake for four days, and then return to the royal city by the same route, after which the Pope will announce that the goddess has understood what has happened on the earth for a year and has recognized the repentance of humanity, and then a grand celebration will be held.

It is the biggest celebration of the Kingdom of Horletta, and it is even grander than the King's Birthday and the Founding Celebration, and it even attracts the pilgrimages of all countries in the world, including those with which the Kingdom does not have a good relationship - because the Radiant Cult is a holy religion recognized by the world, and although the Jewel Parade is held in Holletta, it is a world-class event.

But this time the orb was lost.

According to the rules, it was placed in an ancient church on a small island in the center of the Beinz Blood Lake for four days, surrounded by church knights and kingdom knights, and the defense circle was layered, and the Viscount Bullock, who was responsible for the final stage of the escort mission, was a famous brave knight of the kingdom, and was also a pious paladin canonized by the church, impeccable in terms of strength and character, but only after the first night, the orb was gone.

It is said that all the knights heard a thunderous roar from the depths of the Blood Lake that night, and the roar lasted for more than ten minutes, and the camp was shocked, and then a strange light appeared under the water near the island in the middle of the lake, and the flickering light seemed as if something was burning under the water, and the knights stationed on the island reported that they felt a strong earthquake, but the camp on the shore of the lake did not feel the tremor. When Viscount Bullock was investigated, he said that he saw a large number of bubbles floating up from the bottom of the lake, and at the same time smelled a stench similar to that of burning sulfur - and these commotions finally fell silent in a strong flash that permeated the heavens and the earth, and the restless knights, with the authority of the accompanying bishop, ventured to open the door of the chapel by violation, and found that not a single thing inside was gone.

All the tables, chairs, and furniture, the first layer of wall skins and part of the ceiling, the four ascetics who had to pray for four days without eating, drinking, or drinking in the church, and the temple jewels were all gone.

Hao Ren felt that this was indeed like a large-scale spatial door opening event—especially the light. (To be continued......)
