Chapter 666: Red Mist Ruins
Where are the ruins of the red mist?
After listening to Feng Zhizhang's transaction, Hu Siming became curious about this place that had never been heard of before. Just go in and help find something, and you can get a big sword? This reward is a little too generous. Or is that place more dangerous than you think?
If you don't figure out what is special about that place, Hu Siming will definitely not make a rash decision.
Fortunately, this is one of the industries in the New World, and Hu Siming can directly connect with other Libra students. After asking Feng Zhizhang to wait for a while, Hu Siming found an excuse to retreat and asked about the pseudo-heroes who have been sitting here all year round.
As the new captain of a large team, Hu Siming's future is bright in the community. He opened his mouth to ask, and the senior junior who had the intention to please naturally knew everything. Soon, Hu Siming got the details of the Red Mist Ruins from him.
I don't know, after learning the general situation of the Red Mist Ruins, Hu Siming was really taken aback.
Like Raven Ridge, the Red Mist Ruins are one of the many forbidden places that have been discovered in the New World. It's just that, compared to the obscurity of the former, the reputation of the Red Mist Ruins is like thunder, and it is the most promising and dangerous forbidden place in the new world.
It is said that it is the most interesting because there are extremely rich resources of Warcraft, and there are often elites and lords of Warcraft. Many heroic teams that pride themselves on their strength will go there regularly to hunt. In addition, the Red Mist Ruins were the most famous town in the southwest of the entire continent before the collapse of the Arcane Empire. All major arcane organizations and guilds have set up offices here. Thousands of Arcanists have settled here and built their own mage towers.
What's more, it was also the location of the Arcane Empire's Patrol Air Regiment.
The Empire has teamed up with the Arcanists to build a large number of war airships here to patrol the airspace of the southwestern continent of the New World. It is said that the high-speed and high-altitude airship technology mastered by the academy was fused and upgraded on the basis of ordinary airships after the excavation of the ruins of the red mist.
With such an important town, you can imagine its value.
Of course, if it's just a magical beast, then the Red Mist Ruins are no different from other forbidden places, and they won't make people smell and change color. Its real power or danger lies in the famous "Red Mist Tide"!
After the collapse of the Arcane Empire, countless mage towers and alchemy workshops were destroyed. Countless potions were leaked, and the various elements were also in a riot. The Cruiser's countless war airships also crashed, and the red vapor that replaced the water vapor inside mixed with the alchemical potion and the magical elements of the riot to form a lethal red mist. Over the years, the rampaging red mist gradually became stable, forming a regular red mist tide.
In autumn, before the Dire Dark Wave, in September and October, the Red Mist tide is at its weakest. During this period, after 12 o'clock at noon, the sun is at its strongest, and the red mist that envelops the ruins of the red mist will fade for a short time. By four o'clock in the afternoon, the red mist tide will reappear.
In other words, there are only two months in a year, and there are only four safe hours of each day during those two months.
Counting the time wasted on the way in and out, there is very little time that can really be used by the students. If you fail to run out of the Red Mist range within the time limit, you will suffer 100 points per second of poison and eventually die in extreme pain.
It is said that this poison has reached the center of the Red Mist Ruins, and it will become even higher.
It is precisely because of such a terrible poisonous fog that the ruins of the red mist are so famous. It is precisely because of its existence that the ruins of the Red Mist have not been completed for many years after they were discovered by the Academy, but have always been confined to the periphery.
.........
After figuring out such a background, Hu Siming had a bottom in his heart.
After returning to the living room, Hu Siming showed an apologetic expression and sat back in his place. As long as Feng Zhizhang is not stupid, he will definitely be able to guess what he did just now, but the city government that he has cultivated for many years in the school has not caused him to have any abnormal reactions, so he does not know, and continues to drink tea with a tea bowl.
After drinking a bowl of tea, he took the lead in speaking: "I don't know how Brother Hu thinks about the transaction?"
"Sounds pretty good. Hu Siming first gave a word of affirmation, and then changed his tone and asked: "I just don't know, what exactly do you want me to go in and get it?" Although I have never been to the Red Mist Ruins, since it is recognized as a forbidden place, it must be very dangerous to think about it. I have to let me know what I'm looking for before I can say if I want to take it. ”
"That's natural, since it's a transaction, of course Brother Hu is qualified. ”
Feng Zhizhang said as he entrusted the academy to issue a detailed task commission to him.

Personal Delegation.
Mission Description: In the ruins of the Red Mist, there is a unique spirit monster - the Red Mist Ghost. The special crystals that condense after their death can be used to refine a special potion from the Arcane Empire era [Spectral Elixir].
Requirements: Enter the ruins of the Red Mist, hunt down at least twenty Red Mist Spirits, and obtain their crystals. You can also directly excavate the ghostly potions left over from the Arcane Empire in the ruins. If one of the two requirements is completed at any time, the order can be determined.
Reward: [Greatsword].
The entrustment is clearly written, and if there is a notarization of the college, I am not afraid of the other party's cheating.
However, what level of monster is the Red Mist Ghost?
Hu Siming glanced up at Feng Zhizhang, and the other party didn't mean to hide it, and replied happily: "The blue-name enhancement-level monster with a rating of LV30 is characterized by high magic resistance, stealth ability, and can also burn blue in attacks. Ordinary mages, they don't have a problem with them. ”
I see.
Hu Siming's physical output is strong, and that's notoriously strong. LV30's blue name monster, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
However, even though he was already a little tempted in secret, he still didn't agree directly, but looked at Feng Zhizhang with another deep meaning, and said: "What is the use of this ghost energy potion, it is actually worth a big sword? As for the red mist ghost, although it is difficult for mages to entangle, you can go there in a team, and you don't have to entrust it to outsiders, right? Your Excellency trusts me so much, and you think that you can triumph from the ruins of the red mist?"
"Is this ghostly potion......"
Feng Zhizhang sold it, and when he saw that Hu Siming's face seemed to be a little unkind, he still said it: "It is a very high-end potion during the Arcane Empire, converted into the academy system, it can probably permanently increase the basic magic resistance, and it is even possible to randomly add additional enhancements, such as improving attributes or further strengthening elite/hero abilities and the like." The specific effect varies from person to person, but it is said that on average, there is still an increase of 5%. ”
Permanently add magic resistance?
Hu Siming was immediately moved, this is a great thing. A big reason why the inheritance of the Earth Diviner looks very fleshy with the same equipment is that his basic magic resistance is 35%, which is 10% higher than other inheritances. Even if you only add 5% of the ghost energy potion, it is still very powerful.
A great sword, in the long run, is indeed far inferior to equipment that can permanently add magic resistance. Plus, there's a chance to add an extra boost!
Seeing Hu Siming's face change, Feng Zhizhang knew that he was shocked by the effect of the ghost energy elixir, so he continued: "I informed Brother Hu of the properties of the elixir, and then let's talk about the remaining two questions." The Red Mist Ruins can indeed be teamed up, but a larger number of people can easily attract more magical beasts. If it's not a really strong team, the kind that can walk sideways, it's better to go alone. As for why you trust Brother Hu so much......"
He laughed twice in a somewhat astringent voice, and said, "This commission is not just for Brother Hu!"
Hu Siming was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept over the commission again, and he immediately saw the trickiness in it - this task is not limited to one person.
"I'll just get it straight, the greatsword is useless to me. It's not that I can't exchange it for other equipment, but I have a very good hero ability, so it's better to use ghost potions. To do this, I visited clients who were close to double digits...... Whoever can finish it first, the big sword will be given to whomever it is. ”
His words made Hu Siming's face a little ugly.
After tapping his fingers on the table a few times, Hu Siming sneered and said, "Brother Feng is really a good idea, one bait has transferred so many fish, and it is a business that will make sure that you don't lose money." It doesn't matter who can finish it, you'll get the Spectral Elixir. And if we are one step slower, or if we don't finish it, it is equivalent to working for nothing, and we will not get anything. ”
When Hu Siming said this, Feng Zhizhang's face was pale, he sat there, and said calmly: "Brother Hu doesn't need to be angry, otherwise, do you think this big sword is so easy to hold?"
Truly!
Feng Zhizhang's understatement blocked Hu Siming's dissatisfaction and left him with nothing to say.
In the academy, there is almost no pie-in-the-sky good thing. How rich the reward is, there are more demanding commissions. If you are not satisfied, you can not accept it at all, Feng Zhizhang can't and doesn't have the ability to force him to take it hard. The two sides are completely willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
"Okay, I'll take this commission!"
Hu Siming pondered for a moment, but decided to go over and take a look.
The commission was not completed, although there was no reward, but correspondingly, Feng Zhizhang did not set any punishment, which is quite fair. Even if Hu Siming doesn't do anything after accepting the commission, he will not be affected at all, at most, he will be a little unsightly and lose an opportunity. In that case, it is better to take the task and try it. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get your hands on the sword.
What's more, the ghost potion he mentioned also made Hu Siming very concerned.
With Libra's news channels, there will definitely be records about this. Since Feng Zhizhang can get it, Hu Siming works his own, and he may not have no chance.
"That's really good, I'm relieved to have Brother Hu out of the horse!"
After getting a satisfactory answer from Hu Siming, Feng Zhizhang's face stretched out and shook hands vigorously with Hu Siming. It's just that when the negotiation was settled, Feng Zhizhang laughed meaningfully, and left abruptly, Hu Siming, who sat back again, was shocked to see two words written with tea on the table.
