"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.

Faust's heart fluttered slightly—I wonder what would happen if I didn't do this task?, as if sensing his thoughts, the system quickly refreshed another line.

"Failure Punishment: Death. Method of Death: Killed by a transcendent creature. "It's good, it's reasonable, if interests don't drive a person, then threaten him.

What is this? Is it forced? Faust was a little dissatisfied, but then relieved - the system is not your long-lost biological father, and he is full of guilt for you, and he has to make it up to you. There are times when you make a profit, and there are times when you lose money. If Faust were the system, he would be a hundred times harsher than the current one.

As soon as he thought of what he might do after incarnating the system, Faust's heart was balanced—he was a kind person. Faust comforted himself.

Faust glanced at Professor Pacien again, and found that the other party was also hesitating, as if Faust did not agree immediately, and wanted to increase the price, but felt that it was too expensive to lose more than it would lose.

Although Faust was forced by the system to explore, he still didn't intend to agree to Professor Pacian's terms right away—what else was he going to do to trick him out of it?

"Ahem, ahem. Faust reached out and pinched his throat and cleared his throat, "Professor Pacian, I'm afraid you've misunderstood me. He paused to observe Professor Pacion's face, as if he was interested in what he had to say.

He went on to say: "It's not a question of one or two oddities. You should know better than I how terrifying these dark visitors are—not to mention the fact that these ancient ruins contain cataclysmic age monsters. ”

Records of the Cataclysm are scarcely complete, and the dark and strange scenes seem to have the power to devour information, and as long as they are related to it, they will inevitably fall into the fog of history.

But only the fragments that have survived to this day are enough to describe the horror of the beginning. Faust brought out a number of First Empire books from the Toad tribe, which are related to them.

During the Cataclysm, the entire new world was engulfed in darkness, and countless of the most powerful evil gods and monsters descended into the world in person, which is very different from the few monsters that occasionally leak in today. There are many similarities and differences, but they are often bigger, more vicious and weirder than those who come after them.

Professor Pacien comforted Faust and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Faustus. I've learned about the city, and the things there are not relics of the Cataclysmic era. As if he had finally made up his mind, he hesitated for a moment before adding, "I know there's an artifact hidden in that city, and I can provide some clues about it." ”

Artifacts? Faust was also impressed. Artifacts are not limited to the weapons of the gods, but often only the sacred objects of the gods can reach this level, so everyone conventionally calls this kind of extraordinary artifacts artifacts.

This kind of thing can only be held by large and historic churches, such as the Church of Aventnu, to which Faust belonged before, which has three artifacts.

"Oh? That's kind of interesting. Faust faithfully expressed his desires—if he had done too much, he would have aroused Professor Pacion's suspicions, but it would have been more appropriate than he had now.

Professor Pacien was a little happy to see things, but he wasn't the kind of inferior demon who did things according to his mood, "The details are not yet known, but it's an artifact that fits the psychic energy very well - and it's not owned by the church." "Professor Pacien is not a native of the New World, but he knows everything about the gods.

Faust has a clue to the artifact, but first of all, he must ensure his own safety. He had a look of interest, a glint of greed in his eyes, as if he was about to open his mouth to confess to Professor Pacion.

But at this moment, he always came back to his senses in time, struggling to shake off this dangerous thought. After struggling like this for nearly a quarter of an hour, he hesitated to speak: "Professor Pacion, I am indeed very interested in artifacts, but I am also very limited...... Look at ......," he said, with a look of pity on his face.

As soon as Professor Pacien heard Faust's first half-sentence, his heart was half cold—he was 'really' interested in artifacts, but naturally he couldn't get his hands on them because of some irresistible factors. But when he heard the second half of the sentence, his cold heart warmed up again.

Faust's words at first glance were a tactful rejection of Professor Pacian's proposal, and he regretted that it did not take place. But when he tasted it carefully, he sensed the implication of Faust's words.

Since the ability is not enough at the moment, why don't you come back when you have enough ability? If you can improve your ability right away, then you will be able to set off immediately.

If you want to level up quickly, Pacien can't do it now, but there is more to improving your ability than just leveling up. Equipment, professions, and even some consumables can effectively improve a person's abilities.

Professor Pacien sensed Faust's thoughts, "Monsieur Faustus, since you say so, I have some equipment here that may be of help in this trip." ”

As he spoke, Professor Pacien pulled out a few items from his small satchel. Faust's eyes widened and he looked closely, and found that these pieces of equipment were mainly accessories, and each one shimmered with dazzling arcane brilliance.

"These are for you, and when you choose your entourage for this trip, I'll provide you with some more equipment. Pacien lined up a few pieces of fine equipment on the table, and consciously or unconsciously revealed his wealth.

Faust smiled, "Professor Pacian, you are so generous, and since you have made up your mind, what am I afraid of?"

"Hahaha, it turns out that Mr. Faustus is not only very knowledgeable, but also a rare warrior, and it is a great honor for me to have the honor of meeting you. The two looked at each other and smiled, both feeling that they had taken advantage.

"So, Professor Pacian, since I've decided to get those demonic relics for you, can you tell the truth? Faust paused, "Is this really just the capital built by Baba Yaga?"

Professor Pacien paused for a moment, "How could it not be? After they abandoned this city, it was difficult to find any traces of civilization south of the mountains, not this city, but which one else could it be?"

Faust couldn't detect Professor Pacian's emotions, but judging by his expression, he wasn't lying. In this case, it is strange - Faust saw in the mayor's dream that the city had a very different architectural style than the Empire.
