665 tasks

Octavier, who returned to the office, still had a depressed expression on her face, but when she got to the point, she became serious.

"The business of the House of Shadows is mainly trading and circulation, and a small number of people are hired or built and developed," Octavir said after pushing a document over. "This time, the task is to deliver twelve potions in the past, and if the other party is willing to continue customizing, then the other party needs to pay thirty percent of the resources in advance. ”

Looking at the documents in his hand, Raymond quickly learned the names and quantities of the drugs delivered, many of which were malignant drugs that would cause serious sequelae to users, but he did not understand the meaning of the risk assessment marked as "Level 3" at the end of the document.

Seeing that Raymond was confused after reading the list, Octavier continued to explain. "These potions were completed ten days ago, because considering that you need to go to the Nightmare World to collect the essence of the Ash People, so I postponed the date of this delivery, if you are willing to accept this task, then you will not have to pay the cost of going to the Nightmare World, and you will be rewarded with a lot of points after returning successfully. ”

Raymond, who nodded, put the file back and asked. "What does Level 3 risk mean?"

"Medium normal risk, there will be no danger to the trading process for the Wizard of Dawn!"

"So what level of wizard was originally going to complete this task?"

Raymond's questioning made Octavir a little displeased, but seeing that his attitude was very serious, he hesitated before speaking. "Originally, trading with these customizers in the Nightmare World only required the appearance of a second-level wizard, but last time he was attacked by an inhuman creature when he returned, he was seriously injured, so the risk level of this transaction has been raised by one level. ”

"The previous Level 2 wizard finally escaped from the siege?" Raymond smiled at Octavier's displeasure. "Because the chaos of the Nightmare World and the strength of its creatures are well-known, that's why I'm asking so carefully, please forgive me. ”

Stared at Raymond's expression for a long time. Octavier, whose face gradually softened, sighed, and began to rub his fingers at his temples, looking very tired. "In the past, such a task arrangement was arranged by a special person to explain the risks and precautions, and your question should be in the normal category, just now I was over......"

Knowing why Octavier had delayed this task, Raymond was also grateful. "The second-level wizard can get out of the way, so this mission should not be risky, and the details are better for someone familiar with the Nightmare World to tell me. ”

Glancing at Raymond, Octavier smiled wryly. "This transaction itself is not difficult, because the potion orderers of the Nightmare World Realm are themselves in the House of Shadows. Therefore, they attach great importance to the security of transactions within their control......"

Halfway through speaking, Octavier, who looked up, had a hesitant expression, and only clicked on the table in front of him after a moment, and soon a translucent image like a topographic map appeared in the middle of the two.

"The dark green area is the area of control of the humans of the Nightmare Realm. The gray area outside is a harsh environment with high radiation intensity," the thin, slender fingers slowly moved over the topographic map. Octavir's tone was a little dull. "Normal deliveries only need to be made at the edge of the dark green zone. But if you want to reach the area under the jurisdiction of the Northern Scourge Lord, you need to pass through this high-radiation area and eventually enter the extreme north of this map!"

The path drawn from the green area in the lower left corner of the topographic map is almost a straight diagonal, with the entire gray area in the middle, and deliberately away from the areas marked with small dark red dots.

I didn't ask why the line was set. Raymond hesitated and asked. "If I were sent to the northern frontier of the Nightmare World Realm alone, what price would I have to pay?"

Looking Raymond up and down again, Octavier laughed. "That's about three times as many points you'll spend in the library, and there's no guarantee that you'll eventually be able to return through the reverse teleportation channel of the House of Shadows!"

The smiling Octavir was elegant. But her explanation almost made Raymond jump. "What! After sending me there at such a high cost, do you need me to return on my own?"

"In the territory of the Scourge Lord, the House of Shadows can only be a one-way teleportation array, and if there is an abnormality in the predetermined area, then the House of Shadows will definitely cancel the teleportation array," said Octavier, who was staring at Raymond, with a flat expression but a very resolute tone. "Otherwise, teleporting a Scourgeon Lord here, it will be a catastrophe!"

Trying to dissolve Octavier's serious expression, Raymond, who immediately smiled bitterly, sighed. "I see, the Shadow House will not take such a risk, unless the person sent to it is a high-level member of the Shadow House......"

He stared at Raymond without blinking, but Octavir's expression became a little dazed. "You're wrong! Even if I were in such a state, the rune array responsible for reverse teleportation would disintegrate immediately, and the House of Shadows would not take such a risk......"

Raymond, who noticed that Octavier's eyes were out of focus, apparently caught up in some kind of memory, smiled and closed his mouth, and it was a long time before Octavier, who was in a trance, began to mumble to himself.

The space where the headquarters of the House of Shadows is located is an area divided from a certain main plane, so although the aborigines here have the potential to become wizards, after many years of self-defense, due to the low population base, the protection ability here is eventually greatly weakened.

Therefore, after communicating with other planes and establishing the communication platform of the House of Shadows, every permanent manager in this position of Octavir is in the process of being measured against safety and risk.

Hundreds of years ago, there was an accident in which the wizards sent to the northern frontier of the Nightmare World to carry out a mission returned to the predetermined teleportation point after successfully completing the mission, waiting for the reverse teleportation array to activate.

However, the monitoring on the side of the House of Shadows showed that the environment in the teleportation area of the Nightmare World had changed, but since the wizard sent in the past was a descendant of an important elder of the House of Shadows, after finally reporting the matter, the elder personally rushed to the place where the teleportation rune array was set up, and personally activated the reverse teleportation rune array to teleport his descendants back.

However, a low-level Calamity Lord who was teleported from the Nightmare World Realm with him almost led to the destruction of this space!

At the moment when things could not be reversed, the elder who had reached the strength of a fifth-level wizard who caused this catastrophe had to rely on his own opportunity to blow himself up and banish the invading Calamity Lord into the void.

With nostalgia and embarrassment on his face, Octavir stared at Raymond and said. "That elder is still the bloodline of the creator of this space, but the strength of the fifth level can only expel the Calamity Lord, but cannot destroy it...... So if it really affects the security of the Shadow House headquarters, then there is no room for negotiation, no matter who is abandoned!"

"It's just an isolated space, no wonder the House of Shadows is so cautious," Raymond knew what Octavil was trying to say, and he couldn't get her to compromise on this issue, so he simply agreed. "Then I took this task, but I still need to know the details of the Nightmare World Realm!"

"The situation in the Nightmare World will be specially introduced before you leave, so I wish you all the best!"

Octavier's formulaic closing remarks, which were still pale, did not represent any attitude, but seeing that Octavier, who was pale, looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, which made Raymond who stood up a little puzzled.

Seeing that Raymond did not leave immediately, Octavir spoke to persuade him. "Although there are many treasured materials to collect in the northern frontier of the Nightmare Realm, I still recommend that you put safety as your first ......" (to be continued......
