Chapter 258: Instead of being deceived, it's better to give me (ask for a monthly pass!) )

[Objective: Solve the Stalker (1/1)!] 】

[C-Rank Mission: Stalker with Bad Intentions!] It's done! 】

[Get quest rewards: 8,000 XP, 10 gold pounds, and Morey's opinion (agree with your solicitation and join the circus.] 】

Chen Lun didn't pay too much attention to the task prompt box that popped up.

He turned the black hat into a small hippopotamus and sat on its back, waiting for the corpse on the ground to turn into a monster while examining the loot in his hand.

[C-class Strange Object-Peep in the Mirror]

Item description: An item containing the power of the stars, in the form of a circular vanity mirror with a silver arabesque pattern on the handle and outer ring.

It is suspected that it originated from a lady who loves beauty, and whenever she wears makeup, she misses her beloved.

Where are you? Looking at the stars? Ah, I'm thinking about you......

Item Effects: Able to observe a target in real time, and the picture and sound are fed back through the mirror. Warning: Only one person is allowed and no more than 500 meters between the holder and the observation target.

Item Price: If the target is observed for more than 10 minutes, it will involuntarily fall in love with the other person, and the only way to remove it is to kill it. Every time you use it, you need to apply makeup in front of the mirror once within 24 hours.

'The effect is very practical, and it is a superb detective artifact...... But the price is a bit different, but as long as you don't use it for more than ten minutes, it's not a big problem. ’

Chen Lun put the mirror away, and then picked up the chrysalis ornament.

【Token - Red Pupa】

Item Description: The appearance is a red insect chrysalis ornament, the material is some kind of gel, the appearance is hard and textured, the paint painted is relatively inferior, and the overall workmanship is a little rough.

This token is the identity credential of ordinary members of the Esoteric "Chrysalis of the End".

Chen Lun played with the red chrysalis ornaments, and after a little thought, he flipped through the two secret letters.

The first letter is from the connector of the "Chrysalis of the End", and it states that it is in urgent need of various mysterious substances, as well as the important material "sunset chrysanthemum" for the arrangement of prayer ceremonies.

"The First Evolution"

Call on members to hand in a certain amount of quest items, and those who perform well can be rewarded. Those who do not contribute enough will be removed from the organization and the token voucher will be withdrawn.

And that's why this guy has his eye on Morey...... Sure enough, he still can't escape the hunt among the transcendents. ’

Chen Lun shook his head and sighed.

And this organization is also collecting sunset chrysanthemum, is it a coincidence? ’

The second letter is a reply without payment, the words on it are extremely respectful, the other party said that he has collected enough "sunset chrysanthemum", and hopes that this side can keep his promise and help the other party cure his granddaughter's illness.

Finally, I will wait at the agreed place today, and I hope to arrive on time.

Chen Lun's expression was very strange.

Looking at the letter, he quickly thought of the old man in the secret venue, Malediz.

He didn't even need to do a divination to confirm that it was the other party.

[Trigger D-Class Mission: Hoax and Truth!] 】

Description: Go to the agreed place and tell the other party the truth, all this is just a scam set up by the members of the Chrysalis of the End in order to complete the task of the organization.

Just to make the deceived willingly spend their energy and wealth to collect enough sunset chrysanthemum.

Of course, if you devote yourself to the prayer ceremony with the sunset chrysanthemum dew and pray to the gods that the Chrysalis of the End worshippers, there may be a slight chance that your wish will come true.

Quest reward: 5,000 XP, 2 Gold Points, and a monetary reward for the victim (20 to 100 Gold Points).

'I see......

Chen Lun laughed secretly.

But I refused. ’

He simply canceled the task panel and abandoned the task.

Let's not talk about the reward deduction and search for this task, and then with the stubborn character of that old man, I am afraid that he may not necessarily believe his one-sided words.

Chen Lun planned to change his way and go to meet with Malediz.

'The old fellow's collection of sunset chrysanthemums can't be wasted, so give it to me instead of handing it over to the liar...... Maybe I'll be kind enough to give your granddaughter a hand, hehe. ’

He made up his mind.

He lowered his head and glanced at the corpse at his feet.

After the spiritual precipitation, the corpse has gradually dissipated and condensed into a strange object.

"Huh?"

Chen Lun looked at the strange thing on the ground suspiciously, and let out a surprised sound.

The strange thing on the ground is a living thing!

It was a fist-sized hedgehog, cautiously looking left and right, nose twitching.

Chen Lun picked it up, and it suddenly shrank into a thorn ball.

【D-Class Trickery-Cautious Gardener】

Item description: A living creature with flesh and blood powers, in the form of a hedgehog, cautious and timid.

It seems to have originated from a cautious but unfortunate man.

Be cautious, and you can't beat the flying disaster.

Item Effect: It can automatically detect pests, poisons, and contaminated food within a radius of 100 meters, and go to devour them to prevent them from happening.

Item Consideration: Every once in a while, it will go into hiding, requiring the user to find it in person, and will flee if it is not recovered within 48 hours.

'It's a rare animal-like creature...... It's not very useful, but it's fun. ’

Chen Lun played with the "hedgehog" in his hand.

Although he has a beast language that transcends ranks, he cannot communicate with it, as the Prudent Gardener only looks like a hedgehog on the outside, not a real hedgehog.

It's not really intellectual.

Only those who have reached the level of A or higher will have the ability to communicate with people.

'Put it on the manor, and let it, along with Bib, be the mascot of the team...... Maybe it's a good choice. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself and put it into the Blood Poetry Ring.

Chen Lun returned to the hotel.

Morey's face was overjoyed when he saw him, and he immediately asked nervously:

"Mr. Jack, what's going ......on?"

"I've already dealt with people."

Chen Lun walked to the table and got himself a glass of water.

He looked at Morey, then released the Prudent Gardener and placed it on the table.

"It's a legacy of that guy's death."

"Huh?"

Morey was startled, looking at the hedgehog on the table speechless.

Although he has stepped into the mysterious realm for many years, he has only been at the bottom, and his knowledge is limited, and he has never heard of the strange creatures in the form of living creatures.

For a moment, he even thought that Mr. Jack had found a hedgehog to deceive him.

Until the little hedgehog on the table stood up on his legs and raised his nose to sniff the smell in the air. Then, its eyes glowed red, and it flew in a fast straight line, flew onto the bed, and devoured a large cockroach in one gulp.

Then a puff of smoke ran back.

It was extremely fast just now, and Morey only saw the remnants.

"Mr. Jack...... I believe you. ”

He swallowed.

[Morey's opinion of you has increased, and it is currently friendly!] 】

The belated favorability reward was cashed out, and Chen Lun nodded secretly.

"Now that Mr. Jack has helped me remove the danger, I will fulfill my promise to join your team."

Morey stroked his chest and bowed deeply.

In fact, over the years, he has been crawling in the mysterious realm, deeply understanding the difficulty of fighting alone, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to join a transcendent force as a backer.

But he never found his way.

When he met Chen Lun this time, he also regarded it as a lucky thing.

Rumble!

Chen Lun snapped his fingers, and the flames evolved into a contract text in mid-air.

"Sign it, and you're one of the circus."

He looked at Morey silently.

The latter took a deep breath, endured the heat of the extraordinary flame, and nervously dropped his name.

Bite!

The distant sound of clinking glasses was heard.

"I testify."

Conrad, the King of Killing, chuckled again.

Chen Lun waved his hand, and the flames dissipated.

He also smiled, not too his own people.

"You're welcome, Morey, and I'm sure you'll love this family."

Chen Lun handed the other party some money, about dozens of gold pounds, and at the same time there was a silver snake ring, a unique token of the circus.

"The money is paid in advance, and the ring is a token.

You now set off and head to Jack's Manor in the inner city of Amber, show your token, and someone will greet you and tell you about it.

As for the transcendent knowledge that I have promised you, I will fulfill it to you when I return. ”

"Yes, Mr. Jack, I see."

Morey took the thing and said respectfully.

*

Chen Lun said goodbye to Morey and divined the current time.

Well, it's still more than half an hour before the meeting with Malediz...... But even if he was late, the old gentleman probably didn't have a problem. ’

He chuckled.

Chen Lun walked on the road, and his current appearance has changed greatly.

Wearing the [Star Mist Pot], he changed his appearance and body shape to the stalker he killed before.

He took a moment and came to an upscale hotel.

After entering the lobby, he said the name of "Malediz" to the welcoming waitress, who immediately understood, nodded respectfully, and led him to the second floor.

'Sure enough, it's him......'

Chen Lun's surface was silent.

Follow the waitress all the way to the second floor and stop at the door of a private room.

Tuk Tuk ......

"Please come in."

The old man's voice came from inside.

The waitress pushed the door in, made a false gesture, and then turned to leave.

Chen Lun walked into the private room and saw Malediz sitting at the dining table, with Pompeii and Siebert beside him.

It's just that their eyes are slightly scrutinizing, and they should be suspicious of Mr. Malediz's so-called distinguished guest.

"Mr. Emissary, please be seated."

Malediz stood up and gestured respectfully.

Chen Lun nodded and sat down expressionlessly.

In his heart, he felt that this scene was interesting. He ignored his love before, but he was respectful to this liar messenger.

"As you said earlier, as long as I collect enough sunset chrysanthemum, I can set up a prayer ceremony and pray for a miracle to heal my granddaughter...... Now, I've done everything I can to get together enough materials. ”

Malediz gestured to his eyes, and Pompey placed a small box on the table.

When it was opened, it revealed six or seven tail finger-sized glass bottles, filled with a clear liquid.

"Very well, Mr. Malediz."

Chen Lun tried his best to play the role of a liar, and a stiff smile appeared on his expressionless face.

He reached out and took the suitcase, examined it with a pretended scrutiny, and said:

"Rest assured, the organization needs a lot of sunset chrysanthemum, and we'll take half of it as a reward, and we'll set up a ceremony for you with the rest, which is completely sufficient."

Hearing Chen Lun say this, Malediz not only did not get angry, but showed a happy look.

"So please, Mr. Emissary."

Chen Lun smiled secretly in his heart, and nodded in agreement on the surface.

"In this way, the materials needed for Floyin's promotion ceremony have finally been gathered......
