Chapter 45: A New Mission

"And this general in your story is the founding emperor of the Second Empire. Faust still couldn't see the professor's face clearly, and although the professor's tone was still plain and calm, he shivered for no reason.

"You...... Are you saying that the general Baba Yaga didn't abandon the demonic faith, and that she eventually destroyed the Empire?" Faust asked—his curiosity triumphing over fear.

"Faith?hmph, Baba Yaga never had faith - at least, she wouldn't believe in anything alive. The professor sneered and replied without thinking.

"Uh...... What about this ...... Your Majesty, is she still alive?" Faust heard that Empress Baba Yaga had established the Second Empire, and he was 100% sure that she was the "traitor" that Daddy Regba was looking for.

Still, Faust held on to the hope that in case Baba Yaga died of old age, or for some other reason, in short, if she died, then he could use this to prevaricate Regba.

The professor let out a hey laugh, "People may think she's dead, but I can feel that Baba Yaga is still alive, somewhere to the north, and besides, she probably already knows about you." "Because, she found me—he didn't say it, but he believed Faust understood what he meant.

"That'...... ......" Faust stammered, unable to say a word for a long time. He didn't know what to say now, or even what to think—what it would be like to be targeted by a demigod-like powerhouse? fear, pride, scrappy spirit? At least in Faust's case, there was only a blank slate.

Professor Pacien walked over, patted Faust on the shoulder, and comforted, "You don't have to worry too much, she's not doing very well, so she won't embarrass you too much." He thought to himself, even now that I don't deserve her special attention, "Without further ado, old Hama is coming back soon, let's look for Gaunt, and we should go up." ”

Faust froze, approached the professor, and asked, "By the way, about your letter of recommendation......

The professor had already begun to look around, and he didn't look up when he heard the words, "Oh, I'll write it to you on the way back...... Look, I found it. ”

Faust didn't bother to pay attention to Gaunt's bullshit relics at all, and the trace of emotion in his heart just now had already been thrown out of the clouds, he rubbed his hands and smiled: "Then it will depend on your cultivation from now on." "Regba is sealed away and can't help effectively, so Faust urgently needs to find a new patron - the professor is good.

The professor just nodded casually, "yes, got it." Come and see, is this Gaunt's axe?" said the professor, lighting a torch.

Faust honestly stepped forward and followed the professor's finger. In the direction of the professor's finger, there was an axe inserted quietly, the blade of the axe was completely submerged into the ground, even the axe surface was swallowed half by the ground, and the whole axe seemed to have been burned by fire, and it was black without a trace of variegation.

Faust stepped forward, grasped the handle of the axe with one hand, and with a little force he pulled the axe off the ground.

Faust was a little surprised, the smooth feel of the axe just now undoubtedly showed that it was an excellent weapon—the axe was smooth and the blade was sharp; he checked the axe in his hand again, and found that it was a bit heavy, and he could never wield it as a conventional one-handed weapon like Gaunt—he roughly estimated that Gaunt's strength was at least 16 points.

Faust had some doubts, but although the color was slightly wrong, the shape and size matched Gaunt's weapon, and Faust had no intention of probing the axe. So, he replied, "That's right, it's Gaunt's axe." ”

The professor nodded, "Then let's go back, everything else is burned to ashes." ”

Faust had no doubt about the Professor's statement, the purple-black flames emitted by the corpse witch were probably as powerful as the five-ring spell—he had only learned a second-level psionic ability—and it was fortunate that Gaunt could have an axe left under that spell.

Faust, of course, could not allow the professor to do such menial work, so he took his axe and walked in front of him, followed by the professor, and the two of them soon reached the entrance of the cave.

Faust threw the axe first, and then he pulled the branch and turned it over to the outside of the cave, and he took two steps forward, and was about to turn back and pull the professor by hand, but he found that the professor was already outside the cave, and when he turned around, the noses of the two almost collided together.

Faust took two steps back in embarrassment, scratched his nose, and was about to say something to ease the embarrassment.

"That's it, you two hurry up. Fortunately, Old Hama's voice came from the bushes, and Faust often breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thanking Old Hama for unconsciously relieving the siege.

He walked over to the bushes from which the voice came, and shouted to the old toad Hama, "This way, this way, you come here first, and let them wait a while." ”

"Rustle. The bushes shook for a while, and the old toad, Hama, came out of it with great difficulty, and while shaking the leaves on his body, he asked Faustus, "Is there any problem, Lord Apostle?"

"Did you tell them about Kuaza's death?" Faust asked straight to the point.

"Uh...... Haven't said it yet. Old Hama scratched the back of his head, not that he hadn't thought of it, but that he had not bothered to bother to say it, and now Faust asked him, which made him a little embarrassed.

Faust didn't mean to blame, but patted his chest, "It's good that you haven't said it yet, we have to discuss this matter carefully - at least the two of us have to speak in unison." ”

Old Hama showed a sudden realization, that is, his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and his head slowly tilted back, Faust could now distinguish the toad's expression very clearly.

Kuaza suddenly attacked his teammates, and was finally killed by the combined efforts of everyone, but the Toad people villagers certainly can't explain it this way - your village chief tried to cut us down, and we hacked us to death, which is undoubtedly a very tactful way to commit suicide. They had to find a plausible explanation.

Faust pondered for a moment and began to make up the story.

"Hmm...... That's what we'll say, Kuaza was bewitched by the devil, by the way, do you remember that ghost? That's it, that ghost bewitched Kuaza, and finally the heroic Kuaza warrior decided to commit suicide in order to break free from the ghost's restraints, and shouted on his deathbed: 'Kill me!

Faust waved his hand, "Alright, let's just say so." Go and call the two of them, and carry Reinhardt and Kuaza back. By the way, remember to ask for a funeral tomorrow after going back, and let them put the body directly in the library and not show it to others. ”

He gave a series of orders to old Hama, and the other party was dizzy. Seeing that old Hama looked confused, Faust repeated it again before sending him away.

Faust really didn't have the patience to deal with this little thing - his worst fears happened, and a new task appeared on the task board.

The second task on the mission interface starts with a bright red timer with a line of small print at the bottom: "Mission Notice, please dodge the investigators sent by Baba Yaga, the time limit is one year." ”

"Reward: Psionic Alchemy (Beginner). ”
