After Chen Lun walked into the tower, his originally dark vision suddenly brightened.

Similar to a sensor lamp, the inner wall is lit up with glowing lines, illuminating the environment. He noticed a figure standing in front of him covered in strips of cloth, his hands and head exposed, but covered with cyan crystals, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"I've seen Lady Fredtree."

Chen Lun saluted towards the figure's chest.

But the other party stood quietly in place, without any response.

"That's a sculpture I made myself......"

A female voice came from overhead, and her tone was slightly helpless.

"Come up the stairs next to it, I'm on the top floor."

Chen Lun was slightly stunned, and then nodded without changing his face.

"Yes, Lady Fredtree."

Because he knew very well that he was facing a high-ranking person in magic at this moment, he didn't dare to use the peep rashly, so that he couldn't identify the identity of the crystallized human body at the first time...... But as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Chen Lun casually turned around and stepped on the stairs and walked towards the top.

He looked at the layout of the tower along the way, and found that the space on each floor was not large, only one or two rooms, but the doors were closed, and he did not know what was hidden inside.

When he ascended to the thirty-third floor, he found that there were no rooms, just a relatively spacious hall, surrounded by bookcases full of large and small books, and a few withered bookboxes in the corners with parchment scrolls.

There are drawings hanging on the wall, which are full of black or dark blue handwriting, which are a combination of some pictures and words, and even a few complex and mysterious magic circle rituals, Chen Lun can only understand a little bit with his own occult attainments.

Probably some kind of magic principle, and some ritual steps. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself after a moment's scrutiny.

He could smell the smell of wood in the hall, which was even more intense when burned, as if it were some kind of incense...... Chen Lun's gaze then looked at the tall back standing in front of the crystal wall floor-to-ceiling window.

It was a woman with long blue and purple hair, dressed in a simple linen robe, looking out of the transparent crystal wall window with her elbows in her hands, overlooking the darkness beneath the crater.

"Ms. Fredtree."

Chen Lun bowed to him.

"Hello, Jack."

The other party turned around slowly, revealing a mature and good-looking face, especially the blue-green eyes, deep and vicissitudes, full of wisdom.

"I've read both the Codex and the letters, thank you for sending them."

Chen Lun looked at Fred's flat expression, and couldn't help but secretly scold:

I remember that Carmen left behind some crappy love poems in the Codex for her teacher...... But the other party didn't seem to react, Carmen was really a licking dog, which was really pitiful. ’

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Fredgreen took out a cigarette and lit it, and whispered with a lazy and melancholy look in his eyes:

"My uncompetitive student always wanted to prove himself to me...... I haven't been back for a few years now, and it's really worrying. ”

When Chen Lun heard this, he felt that the facts seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

It seems that Fredetree still has feelings for her student...... It's just that it's not the kind of love between men and women, it's just a simple concern for the younger generations.

At the same time, as a veteran player, he smelled the breath of "mission", and the level of this "mission" is definitely not low. So Chen Lun looked whole and said very seriously:

"Mr. Carmen's Codex has been very helpful to Her Majesty, which is why I am willing to travel long distances to bring her a Codex...... Although I am not strong enough, I want to help again, Ms. Fredtree, is there anything I can do to help? ”

"What a warm-hearted young man."

Fredtri exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed.

The smoke is not the pungent tobacco smell of ordinary cigarettes, but a strange herbal aroma...... It smells like some kind of homemade "sobering cigarette".

She smoked a cigarette and shook her head slightly.

"Like you said, Jack, your strength is indeed a little low, I appreciate your kindness, but you can't help much......"

Fredcui's eyes showed reminiscence, and he said slowly:

"My student Carmen, who stumbled upon something about my past, insisted on going to the dark world to help me fulfill her wish despite my persuasion, but she was trapped there and couldn't get out."

Chen Lun thought about it and felt that this matter was not without a chance to fight, so he continued:

"Lady Freedtri, I am now the Archon of the Senate of the Righteous God Church's 'Council of Contemplation', and will soon be joining the Imperial Inquisition...... Due to the recent turmoil in the spirit world, I may be tasked with investigating this matter in the dark world, and I may be able to help you find Mr. Carmen's whereabouts along the way...... Maybe with the help of the Imperial Inquisition, they can help her get out of trouble? ”

"I know you, Jack, have foreseen something in the future through divination."

Fredtri nodded thoughtfully.

She seemed to be moved by Chen Lun's words, put down the cigarette between her fingers, and stared at him meaningfully for a few seconds.

"Since you insist on doing me this favor, then please leave it to you."

[Trigger A-Class Mission: The Gatekeeper's Worries!] 】

Description: Meteor Tower hermit Fredetry has been thinking about his student Carmen, who traveled to the dark world alone in order to fulfill Fredtree's wish in his early years, but has not returned. Using her powerful divination powers, Fredetri learns that her student Carmen is in darkness and can't escape...... For some other reason, she couldn't leave the Tower.

You volunteered to find her student Carmen and help her get out of trouble.

Objective: Find Carmen and help her leave the dark world and return to the present world.

Rewards: 50w XP, 20 attribute points, 10 special attribute points, Philedere and Carmen's favorability, and unknown rewards.

'Take the task. ’

Chen Lun was happy in his heart and silently confirmed the receipt of the task.

At the same time, he had a little doubt through the name of the mission.

'Gatekeeper? Is that referring to Fredgreen...... So which door is guarded? ’

Chen Lun thought of the location of the Meteor Tower, that is, the crater of Augusta, and guessed in his heart that the so-called gatekeeper might refer to the person guarding the volcano.

Immediately, he recalled the conversation just now and felt a little strange.

Fei Lei Tei gave him a feeling of wanting to be indulged, as if he deliberately refused and excused himself, so that Chen Lun took the initiative to help.

"Ahem......"

Fredetsu coughed lightly, snuffed out the cigarette, and then raised his eyes to stare at Chen Lun for a few moments.

"I don't have anything to get in return, here are a few homemade cigarettes, I'll give them to you, I hope you don't dislike it."

She took out a palm-sized box and handed it to Chen Lun's hand.

【Extraordinary: Fredgreen Handmade Cigarettes】

Item description: A smoke scroll containing magical powers, made by the hermit Fredetsu using a mixture of dozens of exotic herbs and Augusta volcanic rock powder, with a powerful sanity recovery effect.

Chen Lun was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Ms. Fredgreen would give this kind of thing as a gift.

The box is small, but it actually contains the internal space, not just a few as Fredtri said...... Instead, there was a pile of cigarettes, hundreds, thousands.

Each awakening cigarette is actually equivalent to a bottle of tranquilizer, which is a generous gift to him. After all, this is not a quest reward, it is an additional reward.

"Thank you for the gift, and I will do my best to help you find Mr. Carmen."

Chen Lun put the box away and said respectfully.

Fredgreen nodded, and sat down on the floor. Then she summoned the blue-green crystal puppet at the bottom of the tower and ordered it to massage its shoulders behind its back.

"Jack, I still have a problem, I wonder if you can help me?"

She said suddenly.

Chen Lun's eyes lit up slightly.

'Huh? Still have a task? ’

He immediately said:

"Lady Fredtree, please speak."

"Well, that's ......"

Fredtri pointed to her surroundings with a melancholy expression.

"I can't leave the Meteor Tower at will for special reasons, so a lot of materials and transcendent materials are sent through people from the Nature Sect...... Although I have a good relationship with Mrs. Elk, I don't want to keep taking her things for nothing...... Ahem, you know what I mean? ”

Chen Lun was slightly stunned.

What does this great magician mean by lack of money?

'Don't all those in high positions have incarnations...... Can't she even get out of here in an incarnation? ’

He thought to himself, pretending to be abrupt, and then took out an Imperial Bank voucher from the panel with great interest, and wrote the amount of twenty thousand gold pounds on it.

"Ms. Fredetri, this is a little bit of thought, and I hope you will accept it...... You are a high-ranking person in magic, but you are troubled by mundane possessions, and you must have devoted all your energy to the pursuit of knowledge, which makes you admire you. ”

Chen Lun handed over the voucher with both hands, looking respectful.

With some hesitation, Fredetree took the voucher and glanced at it, then handed it back.

"Forget it, I can't ask for this money."

Chen Lun was stunned again, and the other party's reaction was always beyond his expectations.

The feeling that this great magician gave him couldn't help but remind him of Maggie, the god of cats, who was also in a high position but had no shelf...... Instead, it's full of humanity.

He knew that Fredeter was not polite.

It's too little......

"Lady Fredetri, I'm not short of money, I just want to be able to do you a little favor in this inconsequential matter."

Chen Lun secretly felt pain, maintained a polite smile on the surface, took out the voucher of 30,000 gold pounds again, plus a total of 50,000 gold pounds, and handed it over.

Fredtri looked at the two vouchers with a hesitant expression.

"This money must have been accumulated by you for a long time...... Although I haven't been to a city for hundreds of years, I know that making money is not easy. ”

As she spoke, she naturally took the voucher and handed it to the crystalline doll behind her.

[Frede's favorability towards you has increased!] Currently friendly! 】

'50,000 gold pounds for the favorability of a magician in high position, no loss ......'

Chen Lun comforted himself.

He kept smiling, noticing that the corners of Fredtri's mouth were also filled with pleasure.

At the same time, the task of delivering the letter also pops up a prompt box for completion-

[Complete A-rank Mission: The Messenger of Love Letters!] 】

[Quest Rewards: 10W XP, 100 Gold Pounds, Carmen's Opinion and Frede's Favorability, and Unknown Rewards ("Frede's Handmade Cigarette Roll") has been obtained!] 】

[Frede's favorability towards you has increased!] Currently for intimacy! 】

"You're a nice lad, Jack."

Fredetri nodded in satisfaction, pulled out a cigarette again, and smoked it.

On the beautiful face, the blue-green eyes showed appreciation.
