Chapter 29: The Sun Tavern (3)
At night, the Tavern was surprisingly quiet, with only the chirping of insects, and the revelers had long since dispersed, leaving behind food scraps and upside-down liquor. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the door of the easternmost room in the rest area opened, and Tai Lang crept out, poking his head out and carefully observing the movement in the corridor. After observing for a while and not finding anything abnormal, he quietly walked towards the direction of the hall in the first district, and wanted to reach several other areas, the hall was the only way to go; this time he didn't call Su He, that guy was already drunk at this time, lying in his room dreaming of spring and autumn.
Tai Lang had long made his own calculations, and it was safest to send the task only during this time period, and he didn't want others to see his whereabouts. Walking down the spiral staircase through a corridor, Tauro returned to the lobby area of the Sun Tavern, where he didn't see a single figure along the way, except a few drunken men on the floor and chairs in the hall, snoring and dreaming. Takuro looked at the area sign hanging from the ceiling, and walked quickly towards the fourth area, the hall in the night was no longer bright, and now Takuro was like a ghost shuttling through the shadows of the night.
After a while, Taro climbed the last staircase, and appeared in the area where Dante said that he could deliver the task, and there was only a faint glimmer of light at the end of the dimly lit corridor, and he walked cautiously towards the light, holding the scroll in his hand to write the task, which was already wet with sweat in his palm.
At the end of the corridor, there was a very old broken wooden table, and on the table hung an oil lamp, and the lamp oil seemed to be about to burn out.
"How long are you going to stand there?" asked an old voice.
At this time, Takuro, who was hiding in the shadows, slowly walked out and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
"I said, kid, you can't go a little faster. The old voice said angrily.
Tai Lang walked to the broken desk, he saw clearly that the mail scroll on the table was sealed by fire paint, there were thousands of letters, the old man's movements were mechanical and regular, he opened the scroll and threw it aside with fire paint, and kept repeating the work.
Takuro stared at the old man in front of him, wearing a mage hood with a missing brim, gray hair and an old beard that had long been indistinguishable, and eyes that were missing a lens and a bracket hung on the bridge of his nose obliquely.
When the old man finished sealing the last mail at hand, he raised his head, put on his glasses, and looked at Tarou.
"Leave your task to me. ”
Tai Lang hurriedly placed the scroll in front of the old man, looking respectful. ”
The old man took the scroll and did not open it in a hurry, but held it in his hand and played with it.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Do you have any special requests?"
"Uh... I don't think so. Tairo hesitated.
"Oh, are you sure?" and why did you choose this point to deliver the task? The old man directly pierced his careful thoughts.
"Uh... Well, I hope that the person who accepts the assignment will keep the contents secret because it is too important to me. Tairo said pleadingly.
"Oh, that's going to be a bit of a special treatment. The old man also replied to himself.
"Any other requirements?"
Tai Lang didn't politely give out all his requirements, even the smallest details were taken into account.
"Looks like this dragon must be very important to you. The old man became familiar with Taro after talking to him for a while.
"Yes, it's my companion and it's very important, and I want to find him as soon as possible. Tai Lang also told the dragon in detail about the guy in front of him, who looked pretty good.
"Listening to your description, I think I know what kind of dragon this is, but it is very rare, and even if you own it, it will inevitably be coveted by many people. “
Tai Lang just nodded silently, and when he heard the old man's words, his face became ugly, he knew that even if he found the dragon, he really didn't have the ability to protect him.
"Alright, since you sent this quest through the Burning Sun Tavern, then we will definitely help you get it done, don't worry, little one. The old man saw what was on Taelang's mind and said comfortingly.
The old man stood up, took out a seal from the drawer, poked it on the fire paint again, and put it in the drawer, showing great importance.
"Your task seems to be complicated, it may take a little delay, we will also pay great attention to it, if there is any reply to the task, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible. ”
Taro didn't know what to say for a moment, just stood in front of his desk.
"Okay, the mission has been released, is there anything else you need help with?"
"I heard that you can still accept a mission here?" asked Tarro in a low voice.
Pushing his eyes that were about to fall, the old man looked at the diminutive Tarro and laughed.
"Little one, do you want to accept the task?" the old man pointed to the other side of the desk, and a flash of fire came from his fingers and lit up a huge oil-hearted lamp, which was bright for a while, illuminating the wall in front of Takuro's eyes.
There are thousands of mailboxes on this huge wall, some of which are stuffed with layers of letters, some of which are so empty that they are even covered with cobwebs.
Takuro couldn't help but open his mouth wide, this scene was too spectacular.
"What task do you want, dear little one. The old man stood behind him and asked with a smile.
Tailang didn't answer, still basking in the shock. It took a while to come back to my senses.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to take on the task here right now. "Tai Lang's tiger head and tiger brain, the old man.
"You kid is really interesting, those are tasks that can only be received after reaching the strength of the emperor, once you take the task, you must complete it, even if it takes a lifetime, he pointed to the mailbox that has been covered with spider webs, of course, there are times when the task fails, and there are not a few who take their lives, and then pouted.
"Of course, this is very rare. The old man also seemed to realize that he had said something wrong.
"Emperor-level strength, it takes a lifetime to do a task?"
"Well,,, yes, there are some tasks that are not understandable by common sense. ”
Even the strength of the emperor level will have tasks that cannot be completed, and there will be accidents, if I go。。。。。 Taro thought.
The old man looked at Tarro and narrowed his eyes and asked, "Little one, I have some very personal tasks for you here, and I think you should be able to complete them by now, if you are interested." “
"Can I?" said Tarrou, unable to believe his ears, as he confirmed to the old man again.
"It's not too much of a problem, at least I think so. The old man gave a very clear answer.
"Then when can I start accepting assignments. Tairo asked excitedly.
"Don't be in such a hurry, young people need to be trained before you can go on your own to face all the dangers that come your way.
"Oh, so when can I start training. Tairo replied in a hurry
The old man's proposal seemed to fit Takuro's current thoughts very well, and he pierced his heart, through the previous battle in the desert, Takuro felt his insignificance, and his powerlessness did not even have a chance to resist in front of the absolute strong. He didn't want to just rely on another force in his body, after all, it didn't belong to him in the first place. He wanted to protect his companion rather than be rescued by his companion at a critical moment, and he had already secretly made up his mind when he was rescued by Su He.
"Before you accept the assignment, I think you should talk to Mr. Dante, the hotelier, who is sure that you will get what you want from him, and that he will be happy to help you out of your current situation. The old man added.
Tarro nodded in agreement, he was full of hope for himself and for the upcoming training, and he wanted to find Dante at dawn and enter the training session immediately. This fiery attitude was also seen by the old man in front of him, but he didn't say anything, just squinted and smiled at the child who was almost boiling at this time.
After a period of tossing, Takuro finally calmed down, said a few more words and said goodbye to the old man, looking for a way back to the lounge, this road seems to be particularly long, Takuro's brain can no longer tolerate thinking about anything else, all the way carefully reviewing the old man's words.
Not long after Tauro left, a figure walked out of the shadows beside the old man
At this time, I was also respectful and did not dare to make any moves.
"I've asked him to come to you tomorrow, and I'll leave the rest to you. The old man from before commanded lightly.
"Hopefully he'll be reborn here. ”
And he got the task, he said as he took out the task scroll from the drawer and handed it over.
"It's a little tricky, but let's start with this area. It's really not easy. !”
"Oh yes, send Sam a letter and tell him where the little guy is, so he shouldn't worry too much. And the funeral of the son of Sauron in half a month, let's prepare for it, something big will happen. ”
After speaking, a dazzling source power wrapped the old man and disappeared in an instant.
