"Let me tell you a story, then, Mr. Faustus. Professor Pacien was confident that Faust's story had connected the threads he knew, and that the clues were the key to the fight against Baba Yaga.

"Huh?" Faust raised his eyebrows, looking at Professor Pacian's appearance, as if he was fully sure that he could convince himself. He wasn't in a hurry to reply, just looked at Professor Pacian quietly.

Professor Pasion paused for a moment, seeing that Faust did not reply, and had to continue to speak on his own: "Do you remember what I told you before? about Baba Yajia leading his people north to establish the Second Empire. ”

Faust nodded, still unsqueaked. It's not that his personality has suddenly changed and he has become a person who cherishes words like gold, but first, he spies on taboos and consumes a lot of energy, and secondly, he also expresses his dissatisfaction with Professor Pacian.

After leaving the ruined empire, Baba Yaga led the refugees to this open terrain and abundant water and grass. Pacien continued his last conversation with Faust: "How could the refugees not be moved to see such a suitable place to settle down? ”

Baba Yaga had no objection to this, partly because of her character—she was a valiant and beautiful female general at the time—and partly because of the high mountains ahead that cut off the road, and because of the fertile land and pleasant climate, she decided to settle here. ”

"Her ranks are filled with some of the best minds in the Empire, who have decided to build a city here and dedicate it to Her Majesty the Empress. That would be the capital of the new empire, symbolizing the end of the old era and the establishment of a new dynasty. ”

"So the most brilliant architects drew the drawings, the great mages and psychic sorcerers moved hills and rivers, and the valiant warriors gathered all sorts of treasures—the skins of ferocious monsters, the faces of the abyss...... On the basis of all this, carved by the most ingenious craftsmen, this unique city of Mobertin was finally built. ”

"Mr. Faustus, you are well versed in the aristocratic language of the ancient empire, so you must know the meaning of this name. Professor Pacion deliberately eased his relationship with Faust, and this interaction was a gesture of goodwill.

"Hope, brilliance. Faust's answer was succinct, and he wasn't going to forgive Pacian just like that—especially if he was relenting. Although Faust didn't know why Pacien was suddenly so polite to him, he must have asked for it. The right not to use it, it is invalid when it expires, and Faust does not intend to waste this power.

"That's right, that's where the name Mobedan comes from, the city of glory and hope. "You are so knowledgeable, you know even the long-lost language of the First Empire's nobility, Mr. Faustus." ”

It was actually the language of the toads, and Faust didn't know why the language of the ancient aristocracy was now used by the most vulgar and primitive toad people, but it was an indisputable fact that he was proficient in the language.

"Professor Pacian, tell me what happened next, I wonder why this is what Mobedan looks like. Faust smiled and urged Professor Pacion, looking very polite, but his words were not so respectful, telling the professor not to talk nonsense.

Professor Pacien disagreed, "The city is indeed perfect, comparable to the capital of the First Empire. Baba Yaga looked at this beautiful city with great joy in her heart, and she saw it as an important base for rebuilding her empire, showing her ambitions, and spreading her ideas. ”

And so, she and her savvy men ruled the city for five hundred years. Professor Pasion paused, "She still remembers the demon lord she used to worship, does she still worship him, or does she start to hate him?" I don't know, but she does set out to resurrect this powerful demon. ”

Faust sneered in his heart, no matter how you distort history, you are terrified as soon as you realize that the other party is still alive, and it is obvious that your relationship is not friendly. But Faust had no intention of mocking Professor Pacian in this way—that was really not interesting.

Her teacher and lover, the last emperor of the empire, had killed the demon and imprisoned his immortal soul in the material world, and she didn't know where the demon's soul was. ”

But she found something else. Although this demon is dead, he has left behind many items in the world, and the power of the demon is still enshrined on it. ”

"Are those things still in the city?" Faust interjected suddenly, keenly aware of the key point in the story - that demon lord was naturally Professor Pacion, the rebellious Grand Duke Sander Truman, and now that he was in a hurry to regain his strength, what could be better than his own strength?

Professor Pacien waved his hand to signal Faust to calm down, "Your reasoning is admirable, but that's only part of my purpose. He admits Faust's reasoning, but he still has a card to play, and that's the hole card for the decisive victory.

"My other purpose is the forbidden things in the city. ”

Professor Pacion's words were indeed unexpected by Faust - taboos are taboo precisely because they are difficult to exploit, and even hearing about its existence can lead to inexplicable disasters. And Professor Pacien was playing tabooism? Faustus thought he was crazy.

"I am not allowed to enter the city by the constraints of status, so, Mr. Faustus, I beg you to do me a small favor. Professor Pacien had come to understand what Faust meant—I am afraid that the other party really did not want to get involved in the forbidden thing.

So he openly asked Faust for help. "Of course, I'll pay quite a handful - how about a precious piece of equipment?"

It can be said that this kind of great demon is a precious piece of equipment, and it is indeed worth risking to the death. But in Faust, value is not counted that way.

"However, my abilities are so limited that I am afraid that there is nothing I can do about it. Faust euphemistically expressed the hope that he would receive an advance payment, preferably one that would effectively increase his immediate combat effectiveness.

"Of course, of course. I'm not going to let you go into battle naked. He thought for a moment and pulled an inconspicuous ring from his finger, "How about a one-time teleportation trigger ring that automatically teleports you to me when you take life-threatening damage?"

It's true, it's a great treasure, almost a second life—but it's not just life that taboos can threaten.

Faust was about to continue refusing - after all, no matter how good things were, they were no better than his own brains, but a voice in his heart disrupted his plans.

"Tick. Mission: Explore the Forbidden City. ”

Unlike the previous two quests, this quest not only has no quest rewards, but also uses a very special dark red font, like congealed blood.
