Chapter 116 013: Mandatory Mission
The South Coast Witch Alliance issued a mandatory mission, requiring the selection of a group of apprentices to go to the Dark Forest of the Black Witch Domain to search for intelligence, which is to act as scouts.
Due to the chaotic order and numerous dangers in the Dark Forest, few wizards from the South Coast Wizarding Territory go there. Currently, the Alliance's understanding of that place is still mostly stuck in the past few hundred years.
Before that land became the Black Witch Domain, the information from hundreds of years ago is definitely not practical enough now. Now that we have decided to do something, some necessary intelligence gathering is definitely necessary.
Elements Castle, Inner Castle Restaurant.
"No way, Luo Xi, you are so unlucky that you were selected with such a small probability." Alan was speechless.
The list of people to carry out the mandatory tasks was released last night, and Luo Xi's name was on the list.
Aina frowned and said, "Why don't you go find your instructor and see if you can change the mission? Haven't you always had a good relationship with Witch Catherine?"
No sane wizard would want to get close to the Dark Wizarding Realm, especially for wizard apprentices like them who grew up in ivory towers. It is like a devil's den where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
Luo Xi shook his head: "No need."
There are only three places assigned to the Elemental Castle for this selection mission. Three apprentices are selected from thousands of apprentices to carry out the mission. Can this really be a matter of luck?
The Best family's revenge mentality was beyond Luo Xi's expectation. If it continued like this, he might not be able to stay here any longer. Thinking about it, Luo Xi smiled generously and said, "Don't worry too much. We are only going to the human world over the Dark Forest. There may be dangers, but as long as we are careful, there won't be any big problems."
The scope of intelligence search assigned to their apprentices is mainly concentrated in the human settlements controlled by the Dark Forest. After all, it is not easy for apprentices to obtain intelligence in higher-level places.
Back in the house, Nicole's eyes were red, and she suddenly suggested: "How about we leave?"
Luo Xi was stunned: "Leave?"
Nicole nodded and said seriously: "Let's leave here, the Elemental Castle, the South Coast Witch Domain, we can never beat them here, if we continue like this..."
She was worried.
After a pause, she pleaded, "This world is so big, and the South Coast Witch Territory is not the only place to stay. We can go somewhere else. If all else fails, why don't we just go back to the human world and live a peaceful life for a while?"
Rosie was silent for a moment.
Nicole's suggestion is not a bad idea. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Under the aggressive situation of the Best Family, it is not very possible to continue to seek development in the South Coast Witch Domain.
Instead of giving people trouble here every day, it would be better to develop somewhere else.
Nicole sighed: "Forget about what happened before, but now you are being assigned this kind of dangerous mission. This time it was okay, just searching for intelligence, but who knows what it will be next time?"
"Given the current situation, if we really fight with the Dark Forest one day, I will ask you to die."
When she said this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. The situation had been getting worse recently, and even the apprentice who was slow to react could smell the coming storm.
Luo Xi hugged her into his arms: "Okay, no need to say anything more, I agree with your suggestion, let's leave here."
Nicole's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Luo Xi nodded: "Is there anything special here that I miss?"
As early as when he felt the situation was not good, he had thought about taking Nicole away before the storm came.
The reason why it has not been implemented is largely because I feel that the South Coast Wizardry has trained him, and it is a bit unethical to just walk away when they need him.
But now that they have been so unkind, it would be unreasonable for me to stay here.
He comforted her, "After this mission is over, I will submit an application to the castle and go to a remote place to be a night watchman. Then I will find a chance to leave the South Coast Witch Domain."
Now that the mission notice has been issued, you can only leave after the mission is completed.
Nicole finally had a smile on her face and nodded: "Yeah."
Luo Xi continued, "Plan carefully. If there is any place you want to go, we will go around after leaving the South Coast Witch Domain. How about going to the ruins of the ancient city? I heard that there are many relics left over from the Sigrama period there..."
The next morning, Luo Xi went to Fairy Street early.
Although with his current strength, it is almost impossible for him to encounter any troubles that he cannot handle if he just goes to the human gathering place in the Dark Forest, but it is always better to be safe than sorry and be more prepared.
The castle has prepared purification potions that can remove negative energy particles. What he mainly needs to prepare here is some self-defense items.
After some careful selection, Luo Xi first purchased a space-related magical tool.
This is a space gem that can anchor space coordinates. After presetting the position of the gem in advance, you can teleport to the location of the gem through the space scroll. It can be regarded as a portable traveler's door.
The space energy above can be used three times, and the maximum transmission distance is 20 kilometers. It is enough to run away if you really encounter any danger. It is definitely a treasure to save your life in a critical moment.
Unfortunately, the price is a bit high, costing 30,000 magic stones.
There is no way around it. Items that can act on space are extremely rare even in the wizarding world and have always been known to be expensive. Space magic has also always been relatively high-end knowledge.
Fortunately, the first dividend of the Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce had just been delivered to Luo Xi some time ago, a total of 160,000 magic stones. Together with the remaining magic stones he had before, he still had more than 200,000 in his pocket, so it was easy for him to afford this space gem.
After purchasing the gems, he went on to pick out some miscellaneous items, including alchemical bombs, magic scrolls, potions, etc., covering all aspects of attack, defense, recovery, escape, etc.
Considering his own strength, Luo Xi didn't dare to say that he could easily fight across levels, but when he met an opponent of the same level, he was confident enough to make himself invincible. If he made the worst-case plan, he could also guarantee an escape.
But the price was not small. Purchasing these miscellaneous items and some miscellaneous materials cost him 130,000 magic stones at once, and in an instant, only 20,000 to 30,000 magic stones were left in his pocket.
What should I buy next? You can never have too many self-defense items, especially in a place like the Black Witch Domain where there is no order. You never know when these things will come in handy.
Walking through the narrow Fairy Street, Luo Xi's eyes scanned the dazzling array of goods around him again and again, trying to find something useful for him.
Not long after, he actually found a treasure that was of great help to his trip.
If we can get this treasure, the safety factor of this journey will be greatly improved. (End of this chapter)
