Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Quest (End of Volume 2)
Vane then turned to Taylor and Frank, "Remember, you've never seen me, and you'll forget everything that happened here, understand?"
His voice was soft, long, and dull, as if with some kind of magic, which made Taylor and Frank nod their heads.
Vane snapped his fingers in satisfaction, and the two of them snapped to the ground like marionettes and fell asleep.
When they wake up, the memory of Vane's questioning will be completely erased, replaced by a new memory of them having just gotten up from the ground after walking for a short time and falling over.
"Interesting. After Vane walked away, he recalled the information he had just obtained: "It seems that the other apprentices in the tower should have discovered something by now. ”
After confirming this information, Vane suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders loosen. After all, now someone is rushing in front, and there is a high top when the sky falls.
......
The place where the academy issued the mission was in Tower Thirty-Five, and when Vane entered it, he found that there was very little traffic, and several apprentices were sitting listlessly in the front desk, yawning.
"Please help me find a quest that rewards me with a soul defense item. Vane said politely.
When the apprentices saw someone coming, they immediately cheered up and began to flip through a thick book, which was finally located on a page.
"Classmates also want to join in the fun?" said the apprentice who helped Vane find it with a strange look and smiled: "This is the most popular task recently, the rewards are very rich, so far forty-three people have signed up, and there are still seven places left before they can officially take over the task." ”
Vane frowned and said, "Can you show me the book?" ”
The apprentice had canary spots on his face, and for some reason, Vane's eyes were a little hot.
The freckled apprentice handed over the task book, and Vane took it and began to read it up and down.
"Bounty: Go to the Wizard's World and retrieve a cracked mirror that looks like this......"
The description of this quest is simple, and it appears to be a mission issued by an official wizard, requiring a team of centaurs to enter a ruin in the world of sorcerers and find a cracked mirror with a statue of a demon carved on the back of the mirror. It is said that this site is quite eerie and cannot be entered by official wizards, and only apprentice-level people can pass through the barrier and enter it.
The official wizard who issued the mission was named Hashir, and Vane had the impression that he seemed to be a first-level wizard with medium to high strength.
Hashir clearly cares about the mirror, and the rewards he gives him are extremely rich, including 1,300 points and a dizzying variety of items.
This includes a soul defense item that Vane wants to get his hands on - the broken three-story magic tower.
The scale of this magic tower should be far more than three floors, but for some reason it was cut off from the bottom out of thin air, leaving only the bottom three layers of the base, and the upper part disappeared.
According to the description, if the three layers under this magic tower are carried around, they can have an unexpected defensive effect on the soul of the human body, and Hashir did not forget to make a special note, if this magic tower is not broken, even if he will use it as a treasure, but it is a pity......
"How, how do you think about it?" asked the freckled apprentice, who seemed to have ulterior motives.
Vane glanced at him, and said secretly in his heart: "Nine times out of ten, this thing has taken someone else's hand, that's why he wants me to join this operation so much." ”
If you want to travel to the ruins of the world of sorcerers and retrieve what official wizards value, Vane can imagine the dangers with his feet. It is estimated that it is precisely for this reason that the number of people who have accepted the task has not been able to be found. The mission would not be accepted if the number was uneven, and Vane guessed that the person who organized the mission must have given the apprentices in the tower a lot of benefits and let them spread the word on their behalf.
Vane said quietly: "There is a prop in this that I am very satisfied with, but this operation is to a different world that has just been conquered, and the danger level is extremely high, so I have to think about it." ”
The world of the sorcerer is the fragment of the broken world that was taken down by several bigwigs of the academy not long ago. According to the information obtained by Vane, the wizard world was actually a very powerful world in ancient times, far larger than the wizarding world where Vane is now located.
However, tens of thousands of years ago, the spell masters there somehow aroused the wrath of the gods, which led to the outbreak of a protracted divine war.
In the 10,000-year-long dimensional war, the sorcerers were attacked by waves of god believers, until finally the divine punishment came, and the entire continent was shattered into countless pieces and scattered in the endless space.
Vane: What they have conquered now is only a small corner of the sorcerer's world. However, even so, it was still a very dangerous place for apprentices like Vane who had not even been able to touch the law.
The freckled apprentice's face flashed with a hint of nervousness, and said, "Don't worry, it's not as dangerous as you think, this operation is personally announced by the official wizard Lord Hashir, who will always bring you to the ruins and meet you outside." ”
Vane, however, just smiled at him and didn't speak.
Seeing this, the apprentice immediately continued to lure, "Do you know who is the leader of the team this time? It is the fifth ranked Storm Lord on the stone tablet list!"
Vane raised his eyebrows at this time, remembering that he had indeed heard of such a fierce man before. Storm's real name is no longer available, and everyone prefers to say his nickname, Storm!
As the name suggests, the character is quite fiery and ruthless enough.
When he was a small leader in the Storm Society, he once killed dozens of opponents in a firefight, and his reputation was far and wide.
Later, when he became the president of the Storm Association, he directly changed his name to Storm.
Of course, if you think that this person is just a muscular reckless man, you are very wrong. Those who used to see him that way were either buried in the mud deep in the swamp, or they couldn't even find their bones.
He was able to grow from an unknown junior apprentice to the leader of the Storm Association step by step, how could he be a resourceless person.
Vane had also admired this man's name for a long time, but he had never seen it before, and when he heard this freckled apprentice say this, he became interested at the time, and said, "You can show me the list of people who participated in this operation." ”
If the lineup that enters the ruins this time is strong, Vane doesn't mind taking an adventure with him.
After all, wealth is in danger!
The freckled apprentice's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out a piece of paper again and handed it to Vane, which was densely filled with the names of the people who participated in the mission. It's not a secret at all, and it can be obtained with a little checking.
Vane took the paper, swept over the names, and finally fixed his eyes on one name.
"Catherine!".
She also took part in the operation?!
