Somewhere in the World Society.
Bishop Tors was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
In his jurisdiction, divine messengers were killed, sacred objects disappeared, and altars were destroyed.
Not only that, the chief priest of the Wushuang City branch went missing and the cultists were captured. The four professional cultists he sent out of the city were caught in a zombie horde and their whereabouts are unknown.
The crystal ball was filled with bad news; the festival preparations here were a complete mess.
The higher-ups are furious and demand that he investigate thoroughly!
With the festival date fast approaching, we must think of a solution.
How could he not be anxious when he thought about the possibility that the festival might be canceled?
How other regions will view themselves, let alone the idea that countless people want to replace them.
A shadow fell over Bishop Tors's face as he made up his mind.
No, this festival must proceed as scheduled!
After thinking it through, he rang the bell behind his seat.
Shortly after he rang the bell, a believer walked in through the door.
After bowing, they awaited the bishop's instructions.
After a moment of contemplation, Bishop Thors said, "Give the order that the festival proceed as scheduled! Tell them to prepare!"
"Also, keep a close eye on a man dressed in complete black and wearing a mask. We've heard that he's come to the World Society."
"yes"
“The Eye of Truth is watching you!” the bishop said.
"Long live the Lord of Truth!" The believer bowed and left.
"I'll be patient for now. I'll use him as a sacrifice for the flag at the festival!" the bishop thought slyly.
It was already 3 PM when Liu Nian arrived at the Adventurer's Hall to turn in the quest.
Looking at the large bag of feathers Liu Nian handed over, the customer service representative scanned it for a while and then said with a smile, "Task completion rate 200%, reward doubled!"
Before she could continue speaking, a system notification came through.
[Special quest item detected on player. Use it together?]
【whether】
【yes】
After Liu Nian selected "yes," customer service seemed to receive the message and asked Liu Nian to submit the task items as well.
Liu Nian was initially confused, but then she realized it must be the letter she had found.
Sure enough, after handing the letter to customer service, a notification came that the task was completed.
In addition to the doubled task rewards, subsequent tasks related to this event were also directly unlocked.
This mission is an errand-running task, requiring Liu Nian to go to a specific location.
As for whether it was looking for a person or something, Liu Nian asked customer service, but didn't get any conclusion.
He put that aside for now; he had more important things to deal with.
Liu Nian went to the ATM and placed the badge on it.
An excited heart, trembling hands.
Undead Essence, here I come!
Two hundred and fifty points are enough to redeem one.
The essence of the dead is contained in a crystal bottle; it is a greenish liquid.
After exchanging it, I glanced at it briefly and put it in my travel bag. I really didn't have a good impression of it.
Looking at the markers on the map, let's head over to these coordinates while it's still early!
It's just an errand-running task, how difficult can it be?
The mission location is in a forest, and some building ruins can be seen along the way.
The forest became increasingly dense, and it became impassable for vehicles to proceed any further. Liu Nian then stored the essence of the undead along with the motorcycle into his spatial storage.
The further you go in, the more lush the branches and weeds become.
The sky was also torn apart by the branches, leaving only scattered sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves.
Looking at the ruins before him, Liu Nian couldn't help but grumble.
Is he going on a treasure hunt? Adventure and puzzle elements have never been his strong suit!
It's obviously not about finding a specific NPC; only a reclusive NPC would come to this godforsaken place.
The moment it stepped onto the ruins, the copy detector came back to life.
Hearing the detector's beeping sound, Liu Nian perked up. This was a good idea!
Since the ruins couldn't be identified as belonging to any particular era, Liu Nian could only be certain that they weren't modern architectural styles.
As the detector began to vibrate more violently, Liu Nian entered the depths of the ruins.
At the far end of the ruins, a massive portal stood.
Is the NPC inside the portal? Or do I need to kill someone to obtain a certain quest item?
Too many unknowns. I glanced at the panel and the mission still showed me to go to a certain place, unchanged.
The shape of this portal is very similar to that of the ones in the supermarket before; they are both part of an alternate dimension.
The deserted village is more like a copy of reality.
Liu Nian couldn't quite figure out the differences and key points.
Undeterred, I circled around the entrance of the dungeon, having reached the end of the ruins. Perhaps the truth really lies inside the dungeon.
Just to be on the safe side, Liu Nian took out the cards he got from the Harpy quest and spread them out to choose from. It was best to consolidate all the items before going into the dungeon.
Trying to cram at the last minute is likely to backfire.
There are two special cards: [Fusion Card (Low Tier)] and [Equipment Enhancement Scroll].
【Fusion Card (Low Tier)】: Fusion of two pieces of equipment of the same level into a random piece of equipment of the next higher tier.
Note: Only blue equipment can be fused at most.
【Equipment Enhancement Scroll】: An item that enhances equipment, increasing its item level by one.
Most of the cards Harpy gave were resource cards, with only two item cards: a [Healing Scroll] and a [Treasure Gourd].
[Healing Scroll]: Quickly heals injuries and restores health.
Note: You'll need my help someday!
【Treasure Gourd】: Forcefully draws the target into the gourd, dealing 20 points of earth-attribute damage.
Note: Monkey, if I call your name, will you dare to answer?
After checking his belongings, Liu Nian plunged into the dungeon portal.
The current dungeon is quite difficult. Are you sure you want to go alone?
【yes】
A feeling of weightlessness washed over him, and Liu Nian disappeared into the portal.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in front of the gates of a castle.
The iron gate was tightly closed and required a key to open.
Through the gaps in the fence, you can see that there is a small square inside.
Various werewolves were running and patrolling in the square.
Although the main gate was tightly closed, there was a side gate next to it, but its destination was unknown.
Liu Nian didn't rush to enter the side gate; instead, he used his information gathering ability to check the werewolves' information.
Werewolf, Arudi's Child, lv12, Attack: 15-20, Defense: 4-8, Health: 500, Stamina: 400.
Skill:? ?
The level difference is too great, I can't see the skills, oh no!
If even the ordinary soldiers are this powerful, I wonder just how strong the final boss will be.
Suddenly, a feeling of unease welled up inside me; I might have really messed up this time.
Shaking off the shadows in her heart, Liu Nian walked to the side gate.
The door was unlocked. After opening the wooden door, there was a stone corridor with thick city walls on both sides. The corridor extended upwards to an unknown place.
As we carefully climbed the steps, the area on the wall where the torches couldn't reach seemed even more eerie.
Fortunately, there weren't many steps. After turning two corners, the view opened up, and we had arrived inside the castle.
Looking inside from the doorway, it appears to be an interrogation room, with various instruments of torture visible everywhere.
