Section 3 Puppet City
Lance was stunned for a moment, his gaze resting on the information that had just been refreshed.
[Puppet City (A-level Mission)]: According to the prophecy of the castle's high-level wizards, the puppet city in the interior of the Wind Dragon Canyon in the north of Ferendor is about to open, and all wizard apprentices (including servants) are allowed to enter the puppet city and complete the mission.
[Type I Mission: Get the magic doll in the hands of Princess Hiro.] Rewards: Permanent public scholarship student qualification + 1 bottle of Mana Burning Potion (Servant), Designated Mentor Guidance + 12 Level 1 spells to learn for free + 60 resource points + 1 bottle of Mana Burning Potion (self-financed/government-financed)]
[Category C Mission: Collect fragments of Golem City's unique plants, potions, magical creatures, and demonized items.] Remuneration: in accordance with the price list in the annex. 】
[K type mission: Draw a map, come out of the puppet city alive, and draw a map of where you go.] Reward: Depends on the completeness of the map, starting from five magic stones. 】
[Time: Expected to be half a month later.] 】
[Tip 1: Golem City is an extremely dangerous place, and so far, the wizards of Ferendor have not explored Golem City very much, only about one percent of the area. Every time the puppet city is opened, only wizard apprentices can enter it due to arcane interference, but the monsters and golems inside have a strong sense of territory and combat ability. The data shows that the last time Ferendor entered the puppet city, a total of 2,700 wizard apprentices entered the puppet city, and in the end, only 300 wizard apprentices survived. 】
[Tip 2: Publicly-funded students who participate in the Puppet City mission can receive a bottle of Sweet Blood Elixir before leaving, self-funded students can receive a bottle of Shimmer Elixir, and a servant can receive a bottle of Minor Glycenic Elixir]
[So far, this task has been received: 29 people have claimed]
......
Lance took a deep breath, and he could clearly see that the numbers showing how many people had received the quest were beating wildly. As soon as he finished reading the task, 29 people received it. But just a few seconds later, that number hit the 100 mark!
Of course, he knew why this task would be so hot!
The Golem City quest is actually a large quest, and the Crimson Castle has issued a unique quest (Type I quest), a gathering quest (Type C quest), and a mapping quest. The most attractive thing is, of course, the Type I task, and by reading the task description, Lance knows that the so-called Type I means unique.
That is, at most, only one person can complete this task.
"Princess Hiro's magic doll?" Lance thought to himself, and from the mission description, it was not difficult to see that the puppet city was a very dangerous place, otherwise the wizard apprentices who entered it last time would not have such a tragic chance of survival. It's not that easy to get this magic doll.
But the rewards of the quests are very tempting!
For a thralls like Lance, as long as they find a magic doll, they can be granted permanent public scholarship status, which means that they can get rid of their status as a thralls and become an official member of the Crimson Castle in one fell swoop.
According to Lance's speculation, most of the first people who chose to receive the mission should have been servants who had been tortured for a long time. They have been squeezed by the Crimson Castle all day long, and this time they finally have a chance to struggle, and they must seize it. As for why they reacted so quickly, Lance guessed that there should be other more flexible ways to take on tasks in the castle for the senior servants or students to choose from.
On the contrary, those formal apprentices should not be in such a hurry. They have a great future, unless they encounter any major bottlenecks, they can't break through anyway, they can only choose to fight to the death, and the rest of them should think about whether it is worth using their lives to explore the way for the higher-ups.
Lance didn't expect to snatch the so-called magic doll from many people with more mana than him, he focused on the other two tasks. Mapping is the easiest task for Reims. Others may not be able to get distracted by the treacherous environment of the puppet city and not be able to write down the map in detail, but Lance has the main chip, which is not a problem.
The most important thing is the collection task. He looked at the price list and found that the castle's upper echelons had offered a rather high purchase price for the unique materials produced in the puppet city.
"It's no wonder that the last time the puppet city opened, so many people flocked to it. Lance looked at the price list with a wry smile, and thought to himself: "A puppet knight's core, the castle upper echelons will give a purchase price of up to forty magic stones! The rest of the things, such as fragments of demonic items, unique magic materials, etc., are also very expensive." ”
The price of these items gave Lance the illusion that the magic stone had suddenly depreciated in value.
Browsing the staggering purchase price, Lance faintly felt the sinister intentions of the upper echelons of the Scarlet Castle. While reminding the servants and students of the dangers of the puppet city, he used the high purchase price to induce the wizard apprentices to enter the puppet city to die for them. Most of the servants could not resist such a temptation.
Because it was almost the only chance to be free in their dark lives, they had to fight hard.
......
Lance was silent for a while, and resolutely chose to accept the task. Like the other servants, he had no choice.
He even felt that he was lucky, as soon as he became a servant of the Crimson Castle, there was a mission in the puppet city, otherwise it would be almost impossible to earn a hundred magic stones in this month.
The magic puppet doesn't think about it, there will definitely be countless people crazy about such a thing. With Lance's current pitiful magic power, to rob treasures with those high-level apprentices whose magic power is two or three times that of him is definitely looking for death.
He was going to enter the puppet city, and according to the price on the price list, he would give priority to some magic materials, and try to avoid fighting. As long as he can collect enough materials, he can also obtain many magic stones, and maybe get rid of the snake curse.
But before that, he has to be well prepared.
"Is there still half a month left? ”
At the moment when Lance took on this task, the brazier burning with green flames next to him suddenly flashed with light, and a pale pink potion came out of the void flames.
Lance accepted this bottle of secondary glycanemia potion, and he knew that this potion could treat minor injuries, but it was far inferior to the authentic glycanxue potion for internal injuries and heavy bleeding, and it was not as good as the shimmering potion.
It's better than no incentive.
He cleaned up and got up to leave the mission hall.
With the nameplate in his hand, Lance has become a part of the Crimson Castle, and can basically pass through most of the castle. He searched and found that he could not find an exit from the castle.
In desperation, he could only casually pull a red-robed wizard who looked quite good-looking and asked.
The other party's answer was also very simple: "New here? A magic stone." ”
Lance was silent for a moment and smiled, "Forget it." ”
With that, he turned and walked away.
The man scoffed, "All right, stingy fellow. Follow the third walkway on the left until the end, then turn right and you will find a staircase that leads down, and if you go down, you will find a place called the Eternal Night Platform. There, every hour a bone train runs to the Wizard Emporium. Remember to wait on platform eight, the rest of the platforms are dangerous. This is the only way to get out of the castle. No one is allowed to stay in the vicinity of the castle at will, otherwise they will be arrested and turned into servants. ”
"Boy, you should thank me, most people are not interested in talking to you so much. ”
Hearing the other party's words, a wry smile flashed in Lance's heart, it turned out that the wizards of the Crimson Castle took what kind of train to enter and leave the castle. I didn't know it, and it was really bad luck to be caught as a servant.
He stretched out his right hand and said sincerely, "Thank you, my name is Lance." ”
"Carl. Shoykar. The man shook hands with Lance and introduced himself, "Junior apprentice, preparing to advance to the Blood Mage, a public scholarship student under Mentor Haniri. ”
"What about you?"
Lance let go of his hand and shrugged, "I'm one of the unlucky ghosts you call who just got caught and turned into a servant because of your casual wandering around the castle. ”
Huey Carton's eyes widened.
