Chapter 1041: Receiving the Mission
Coming to the mission hall again, Locke was lucky that after two months, one of the deacons on duty here was the one he had 'honored' two months earlier.
The mission hall is the most cumbersome and busy department of the outer gate of the Hailan Sect, unlike the Dharma Transmission Building, which is a clear water yamen, and although the deacons on duty here can get enough oil and water every day, they are also quite tired.
After waiting in line for half an hour, it was finally Locke's turn, and when he saw the deacon again, Locke came up and pushed him two medium-grade yuan stones, "Lord Deacon has worked hard, this is a little bit of the younger generation's heart, I hope Lord Deacon can go and buy a drop or two of fresh dew to relieve fatigue." ”
Locke's mouth was very sweet, and it spoke directly to the heart of the deacon, and he was so 'sensible', the old deacon's smiling face was like a blooming daisy.
Vaguely putting the two medium-grade Yuan Stones handed over by Locke into his sleeve, the deacon smiled and said, "Han Shuo, I have received your wishes, what, do you want to go out on any mission?"
In the past, it was usually the outer deacons who directly gave Han Shuo and other low-level monks corresponding tasks, and these tasks were often either difficult or poorly paid.
For those difficult trial tasks, a little carelessness can be the end of death.
This is also Han Shuo and the others with a cautious personality, who have always been able to receive marginal characters like those who are boring and not much paid for being stationed on the outer islands of Nansha.
But listening to this deacon today, he is giving Locke a large part of the right to choose the task, and this is why Locke's two Yuan Stones are in play.
"Yes, Lord Deacon, the juniors want to go to the Central Plains Continent for some training, and they have been in the Hailan Sect for more than 30 years, and they have not returned home yet. Locke said respectfully.
Hearing that Locke wanted to go to the Central Plains Continent for a training, this deacon on duty frowned, there was only half a year left before the sect Xiaobi, and most of the monks who came to him to receive tasks recently could only give them the opportunity to perform tasks in the open sea or the coastal area of the Central Plains, but listening to Han Shuo's meaning, he wanted to go deep into the Central Plains Continent.
Moreover, the Great Cloud Kingdom is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it belongs to the human dynasty ruled by the Qingyang Sect, the largest sect in the Qingyang Realm, Han Shuo is afraid that he will not come back in a year and a half.
If it was in the past, this deacon on duty would have agreed to Locke's application and would have given him a good task, but now, with the mention of the elders of the Jindan period above, this deacon on duty could not rashly agree to Locke.
It is said that this time the sect is small, and there is a Yuan Infant Taishang elder in the sect who will visit one or two, which is also the reason why the outer gate of the Hailan Sect attaches great importance to this sect small comparison this time.
Seeing the deacon's embarrassed face, although Locke didn't know the specific reason, he understood that it seemed that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to take out something from the elder on duty.
Two more medium-grade yuan stones were handed over, this was Locke's promotion property, and now in his Qiankun bag, there were only a few low-grade yuan stones left.
It's really ridiculous, a monk who cultivates the ninth layer of qi, or a disciple of a famous and decent sect like the Hailan Sect, Locke's financial resources are not as good as some monks of scattered cultivation or small and medium-sized sects.
took out four medium-grade Yuan Stones in one go, and among the tens of thousands of disciples of the outer sect of the Hailan Sect, this situation was not rare.
With a narrowing of his eyes, the deacon on duty put the medium-grade yuan stone that Locke handed over again into his sleeve, and then said with a smile, "Recently, the sect is about to be small." Originally, it was not good to arrange a task for you to leave the Hailan Sect too far, but considering that you have not returned home for many years, you must be homesick, so I will give you a task to go to Jiuhua Mountain and exterminate the rabbit demon. ”
"Thank you, Lord Deacon. Locke replied with an apparently surprised look.
Jiuhua Mountain is located at the junction of the coastal and inland areas of the Central Plains Continent, and is the intersection of the two large sects, the Hailan Sect and the Qingyang Sect.
As the two major sects in the Qingyang Realm, in order to avoid the situation where the disciples of the sect fight due to conflicts in their daily cultivation, the area where this kind of power is transferred is often a place of chaos, and the high-level forces of both sides will not put too much energy into it.
It is precisely for this reason that demons are rampant in these places, evil cults are everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living.
This deacon received Locke's money, of course, it is impossible to give him a task to send him to death, there are many demons on Jiuhua Mountain, not to mention the demon generals in the foundation building period, even the big demons in the Jindan period are also haunted.
And the task that Locke received was to exterminate the rabbit demon of Jiuhua Mountain.
As we all know, the rabbit demon is the least lethal of all demon beasts, and this deacon did not indicate which level of rabbit demon Locke must kill, as long as Locke brings back the head of a third- or fourth-layer rabbit demon who practices qi, he will be considered to have completed the task.
Of course, the higher the cultivation of the rabbit demon killed, the greater the reward Locke will receive, if Locke kills a rabbit demon who is also a ninth-level qi cultivator with him, this deacon on duty will probably start to operate and give him the most task rewards.
The principle is very simple, there is no free lunch in the world, the more help he gives Locke, the greater Locke's 'filial piety' will be, this deacon on duty has already decided, "Han Shuo, this kid, I'm afraid it's finally enlightened!"
Given the task that satisfied him, Locke thanked the deacon and left the mission hall.
He could leave the Hailan Sect and go to the Central Plains Continent at any time, Locke was not in a hurry, he first went to the Refining Hall to prepare to get himself a suitable weapon.
The wooden sword in the Qiankun bag is also a kind of magic weapon, not only can help him fly, but also has a good cutting ability, but Locke is really not used to using wooden swords, in his understanding, at least he must have an iron weapon in his hand in order to really fight with others.
In the Refining Hall, Locke handed over several high-quality Flame Iron Ore to his apprentice here, which was the material that his predecessor, Han Shuo, had collected when he was stationed on Scarborough Shoal Island on the outer islands of Nansha.
The material of the iron ore is not very high-end in Locke's opinion, and there are many high-quality magic materials in the wizarding world in the Locke Space Ring, but he can't blatantly take them out and use them, so he can only deign to use these iron ores at present.
"Senior Brother Han, do you have any requirements?" asked the apprentice of the Refining Hall, who was standing behind a refining furnace and was several circles thicker than Wang Hu.
"The condensed magic circle only needs to be reinforced, and as for the other requirements, there is only one point, that is, the sword must be strong enough. Locke said.
"Isn't there a need to condense the Sky Array?" the apprentice refiner said in surprise.
"No, you don't. Locke shook his head with a wooden face, he can get rid of the gravitational pull of the plane with his own strength, how can he need the flying ability provided by the magic weapon.
