Whenever Xiao Han leisurely sipped his lemon tea, a string of numbers would pop up above the little girl's head, indicating that her favorability rating had skyrocketed.
Favorability rating: -10 (A moment of patience brings peace, but taking a step back only makes you angrier) (We must expose his true colors!)
It was rare to see Minnie so frustrated, and I felt a strange sense of relief.
As for bullying young girls and exploiting workers?
Sorry, I am the Demon King...
"Ding! Baidu Maps is at your service. Remember to give us a five-star review and refuse installment payments."
At this moment, a rough voice rang out, causing Xiao Han to be slightly taken aback.
What I was trying to do to bring up Minnie's character interface was instead covered by a virtual map.
On the map, the surrounding area is a gray haze, with a small piece of land in the middle marked with the name Titan City.
To the east lies a green expanse dozens of times larger, marked as the Darkmoon Forest; to the north, a snowfield, marked as the Wasteland; and the rest of the area is submerged in gray fog.
Xiao Han: "..."
This map requires you to explore and unlock content in each region yourself!?
Not long after Xiao Han began to wonder, the gray fog gradually dissipated, revealing a network of transportation routes to the southeast, like interwoven leaf veins, with cities scattered throughout and powerful forces everywhere.
To the south lie three vast territories, belonging to three major duchies, clearly marked by their flags.
To the west lies a vast swamp of poisonous dragons, near the far north, while to the southwest lies a territory comparable to a duchy, called Constantine City, along with a dozen or so vassal states.
Although there was still black fog on the outside, this clear map was undoubtedly a great help to Xiao Han.
At least, you don't have to worry about getting lost when you're cutting off someone's supply lines or robbing them.
"Ding! Bonus task issued... Damn! It's Nanshan Pizza Hut again! And they rode off on a black penguin!"
"They even steal missions, are they even human?!"
"You unfilial son, wait a minute..."
Xiao Han: "..."
"Ding, emergency mission successfully issued!"
Suddenly, the system announced a task, and Xiao Han subconsciously brought up the task interface.
Mission: Cavalry battalion, charge!
Difficulty: Half-step Gold level
Content: Defeated the first wave of troops from the three principalities and successfully framed them.
Rewards: Magic Energy Orb x1, Mid-Autumn Festival Gift Box x1, Large Experience Fruit x10, Ultimate Potion x1
[Ahem, a friendly reminder: they're coming with cannons...]
"A cannon? Judging from the military strength of the three major duchies, it should be a magic cannon."
Xiao Han pondered for a moment, but did not refuse the task.
It's quite obvious that there's a slight possibility that the other party is targeting him.
Perhaps the battle between the Demon King and the Sage was exposed, and important information was obtained from the commoners who were hypnotized by mind magic.
But this minor flaw can be filled by the devastating winter.
The harsh winter contains an astonishing potential for freezing. If the magic cannon is placed in the snow, it will be eroded by the frost and snow of the harsh winter and completely ruined. However, it is also possible that someone is holding the cannon and letting it lose durability, determined to kill this demon king... no, I mean sage.
His profession is sage, and he was sent by the Knights' Alliance of Middle-earth. Given Middle-earth's comprehensive blockade of the North, this identity, which is only valid in the North, can sustain him for a while.
"They may have seen through my identity. This is a test... No, that's not right. If my identity is exposed, whether it's a sage or a demon king, any golden-level expert with extraordinary power will come to investigate immediately. The mission mentions the first batch of troops from the three major duchies. Maybe I'm overthinking it. They might just be passing by."
Just as Xiao Han was pondering this, the map underwent a deeper change.
Among them was a force called Blue Ocean City. Xiao Han's gaze fell upon it. The group of gift-giving knights who had entered the city in a daze were from Blue Ocean City. It was said that the seafood products there were quite good.
Above it was a symbol of destruction, as if a bomb had been dropped and exploded.
A blood-red torrent slowly advanced, passing through several cities before suddenly, another city was annihilated.
Then, a crimson torrent marked three flags, the allies of the three great duchies, the terrifying enemies of the mission.
"This is troublesome."
Xiao Han remained silent for a while, staring at the scene on the virtual map. This torrent, braving the frost and snow of winter, caught the targeted force off guard. The targeted force triggered some condition and was attacked. The direction of the attack was not definite. After destroying a city, it turned back.
This was like a report on the enemy's recent movements. Xiao Han knew that being able to clearly obtain information about the enemy's movements was like the system cheating him in person.
But the next moment, the blood-red torrent was broken up, causing some damage, as if a natural disaster had occurred, causing the allied forces of the three countries to retreat to a nearby city.
The Giant City, whose intelligence was once discovered by the lord of the wasteland, leading to the excavation of mithril veins.
Between Giant City and Titan City lies Silverlight City, at least three hundred miles away, a distance a strong horse could cross in less than a day.
However, if it were a large army, dragging heavy weapons, it would take at least three days to reach Silverlight City, and another three days to fight their way to Titan City.
"He's got something."
Xiao Han murmured to himself, a wicked thought creeping into his mind.
Currently, the enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows; striking first is the way of the devil.
Especially the Three Kingdoms allied forces that inexplicably destroyed their power, they fought their way through, and those who obeyed prospered while those who resisted perished, that's roughly the principle.
Suddenly, a red dot appeared in Silverlight City, and under Xiao Han's careful observation, Titan City also faintly flickered with red light.
