This New Year has become the most memorable New Year for many years. Because they not only have hearty food, but also delicious sweets, pastries. Seeing the cheerful smile on Qingxue's face, Ben really felt satisfied.

At midnight, when the New Year arrived, there were even beautiful fireworks on campus, benzene and light snow, and Kander, who stepped out of the cabin to watch the fireworks in full bloom. It wasn't until after one o'clock in the morning, when the fireworks were over, that Ben went to bed with light snow.

In the days that followed, Princess Rose also fulfilled her promise by bringing some enlightening literacy textbooks that she had used before to teach Qingxue to read. For her arrival, stupid is gradually less repulsed.

Princess Rose is indeed the least princess-like princess. She doesn't have the pampered, willful temper of ordinary aristocratic women, and she doesn't have too many views on people's birth ranks. Princess Rose always speaks softly and gently, and is always very patient when teaching Qingxue to read.

Through contact, it is understood that Qingxue is more and more fond of Princess Rose. The two girls, who have a lot of age differences, have become good friends who talk about everything in a few days. Even Ash accepted Princess Rose, coming out from time to time while they were studying.

On this day, after delivering the newspaper, Ben returned to the cabin and learned from Kander that Dean Paon had something to do with him, and asked Ben to go to the magic tower of the academy to find him.

In the very center of the academy is a magic tower that, according to rumors, has been around for hundreds of years. In recent decades, the Academy's magic tower has been controlled by Dean Paan. The Tower has nine floors, each with a different purpose. Dean Paan's laboratory and studio are all set up in the Magic Tower.

In the whole city, there are no taller buildings than the Magic Tower, so you can see the Magic Tower from any corner of the city.

When Ben learns that Dean Paon is looking for him, he walks towards the Magic Tower.

Looking at the stupid back, Kander pondered. He knew what Dean Paon was looking for, and he should have given him some tasks that he could accomplish. His master had finally grown to the point where he was able to take on the task. He was both happy and worried. Although he really wanted to protect Ben and Qingxue, he also knew that what Paon arranged for Ben was more conducive to Ben's growth.

Since his master has been reincarnated, the other gods and demons should also be reincarnated. In order for the master to grow as soon as possible, to the point where he can protect himself, protect Light Snow, and fulfill his own responsibilities, he must accept Paan's arrangement.

He sighed lightly, turned and walked back to the cabin to prepare dinner.

Stupid walked under the magic tower and knocked on the door of the magic tower. Then, the door opened, and he saw a skeleton appear in front of him. This skeleton looks very clean, the bones of the whole body are snow-white, there is no strange smell on the body, and the skeleton's eye sockets are still flashing with blue soul fire.

I think this skeleton is supposed to be a summoned creature of Dean Paon. When the skeleton saw Ben, he made a gesture of invitation with his hand and let Ben into the magic tower.

The magic tower is very large, and there are many rooms on different floors. The room is hung with different labels, which is dumb and dazzling.

Ben followed the skeleton into the fifth floor of the magic tower, and in an alchemy laboratory, he met Dean Paan. Dean Paon apparently had just finished the experiment, and looked a little pale and tired.

Seeing Ben walk in, Dean Paon nodded at him. Then the skeleton walked out on its own.

"I remember telling you that I would give you some tasks for you to complete, do you remember the agreement we made?" said Dean Paan, looking at Dumb.

"Yes, Dean. I will try to complete the task you have given me. Stupid nodded and said.

"There is a task now, and I have been hanging on the killer meeting for a long time, and no one has taken it. I'll take this task for you. ”

"The task of the Killer Guild has been hanging for a long time, will it be very difficult for me to complete it?" said to Dean Pa'an, after thinking for a moment.

"No, the task is not very difficult. The reason why no one picks up is because there is a strong backer behind the target person, and no one wants to offend the person behind him. For you, there is no such problem. Since I took over this task for you, I will naturally clean up all the troubles behind you for you. So you don't have to worry. Just complete the task. Dean Paan waved his hand and said. It didn't occur to him that Dumb could see at a glance that there was trouble with this task.

After being in contact with stupid for so long, he always thought that stupid was wooden, but he didn't expect that stupid's mind was still a little delicate. Thinking that stupid turned out to be not so stupid, he couldn't help but smile comfortably.

"What is the mission?" asked Ben.

"It's the task of assassinating a profiteer. The merchant's name was Lamarck, and he was outwardly a serious businessman, but secretly he was a slave trader. Violated the continental convention and sold a lot of monsters, orcs, barbarians, and elves. His hands were stained with blood. Dean Paan said.

Hearing that the person to be assassinated was a slave trader, the stupid hand clenched. Because he was once a slave, he didn't have a good impression of the slave traders. What's more, this person violated the Continental Convention and trafficked people and animals that should not be trafficked.

"Your mission is not only to kill him, but more importantly to get his account of the slave trade and find evidence of his crimes. And now, in his hand, there is a group of slaves, and you have to deliver them out. Dean Paon said, handing Ben a briefing on the mission.

Stupid flipped through the briefing and looked at it. It contains Lamarck's portrait, documents, address, and information about his bodyguards. Lamarck lived on an estate on the outskirts of Paris. There are more than thirty guards, all of them are earth knights, sea knights and some warriors, warriors. The manor belonged to the Empire's Grand Prince, Evil Eye Duflan.

When the Killer Guild put out the task, Lamarck moved into the manor. It's called recuperation, but it's actually an evacuation. The estate belonged to the Grand Prince, Evil Eye, Duflan, so no one wanted to offend the Grand Prince's Evil Eye to assassinate Lamarck. What's more, Lamarck's daughter is a concubine favored by the eldest prince, Evil Eye. So this task hung up for so long and no one took it. Dean Paon said, rubbing his temples.

"If I assassinate Lamarck, will the Evil Eye of the Great Prince trouble me?" Stupid asked, and he had to ask about his personal safety.

"I took this task on the surface, I naturally won't reveal your identity, even if someone finds out about you, I will protect you. Although I am only a small dean of the academy, there is no one in the empire who will not give me face. You just have to work hard to complete the task. Paon said.

"Is there a time limit?"

"In a week. After all, I've already taken this task, and I can't put it off for any longer. Paon said to Ben.

"Okay, I see, I'll take this task. Stupidly said as he signed his name to the briefing and handed it to Dean Paan.

"The reward for this quest is one hundred gold coins. When you're done, I'll collect the gold for you. Dean Paon said, "When you're done, come to the Magic Tower to me." I'll be staying in the Magic Tower for a while. In order to do some experiments. ”

Stupid nodded, "I see." ”

"Alright, there you go. Cork is just outside and will take you out. By the way, Cork is the skeleton that brought you in. He's my minion and my assistant. If there is anything in the future, you can also look for him, although he can't speak, but he can understand other people's words. I'm gone, there's something you can give him an account. ”

"Yes, I see, Dean. Then I'll take my leave. So saying, he saluted Paon and turned away.

At the door, he still ran into the skeleton Cork, who sent Stupid out of the magic tower.

For the first time in my life, I received a task, and I was still a little nervous. He reminisced about the introduction in the mission briefing and thought about how he could better complete the task.

In the next three days, Ben took advantage of the time to deliver newspapers to survey the terrain and situation of the manor. The first mission, he had to complete it perfectly.

The manor is still relatively well guarded, and there are always patrols day or night. Thirty guards were divided into two groups, patrolling, guarding. And Lamarck himself hid in the villa deep in the manor and never showed his face.

Every other day, someone would bring their supplies, food, supplies, etc., to the gates of the manor, and then they would be received by the guards. Those who delivered supplies could not enter the manor either.
