Chapter 46: Messing with My Mind

Changing jobs and advancing ranks, each stage has a name.

Below level 10, they are called apprentices; level 10 first promotion is official mage; level 50 second promotion is great mage; level 100 third promotion is magus; level 150 fourth promotion is archmage; level 200 fifth promotion is holy land mage.

Dai Ni Si had long seen through Xiao Feng's information; hearing this, she was not surprised, nodded and said: "I can help you with this, but there is a condition."

"Please speak."

"You may not know, I have a deep grudge with the Moon Temple. The Moon High Priest is sending many people to secretly investigate my whereabouts, wanting to eliminate me." Dai Ni Si said.

Xiao Feng felt a moment of doubt.

"Isn't this old lady the Moon Poet? How could she be in conflict with the Moon Temple?"

Both sides worship the Moon Deity, sharing the same faith; logically they should live in harmony.

"Recently the Moon Temple has cultivated several new successors, each inheriting the legacies of the Moon Witch, Dark Moon Archer, and Shadowless Assassin. These people will soon come to assassinate me; I need you to help me repel them. After success, I will arrange your job change." The old lady said.

"Ding~ Accept quest 【Expel the Moon Temple Heirs】?" system prompt.

A flash of inspiration crossed Xiao Feng's mind; he immediately understood.

It turns out the Xing Yun Miao who inherited the Moon Witch profession also came to Giant Stone Town to find this NPC!

Only her purpose is not to seek help, but to kill her!

"No problem, I'll take care of this little thing! Uh…… wait, with your level 150 strength, would you be afraid of a bunch of kids?" He slapped his chest, making a promise, but halfway through he felt something odd.

Dai Ni Si gave a bitter smile and shook her head: "I'm already old; don't look at my decent strength, but now even walking is exhausting, I basically have no energy left to cast spells."

"Alright……"

No energy to cast spells, but energy to help with job change—indeed, the character setting is just the character setting, no matter how forced they dare to pile on!

Xiao Feng inwardly complained.

The quest has been accepted; the way to complete it is "Expel three Moon Temple Heirs", the reward is "Job change to second promotion", written clearly.

For the job change, it seems he needs to wait here for a while.

Algernon had already eaten something while the two were talking.

He did not take all the gold coins on the table, but only took ten of them.

Dai Ni Si saw this and asked him why.

He replied: "I ask myself I cannot be like that warrior who treats money as dirt. So I don't want too much money on me; just a bit of travel funds to go far, not starve, stay warm— that's enough."

This remark made both Xiao Feng and Dai Ni Si look at him with new respect.

"Warrior Mister, Old Grandma, let me recite another poem for you." He said, took a big gulp of wine, and continued to play the lute and sing.

"Once there was a warrior, his name was Xiao Feng..."

The poet opened his mouth and directly improvised a salacious poem, blowing Xiao Feng up into a strong, brave hero who despises wealth.

After the song ended, the tavern's door was also knocked on.

Dai Ni Si frowned and said: "She's here."

Immediately afterward, Xiao Feng saw the female player named Xing Yun Miao walk in.

"Boss hello, I'm looking for someone called…… uh, Xiao Feng, you're also here!"

She had been shop to shop looking, habitually asking around, but ended up seeing Xiao Feng, the person who made her suffer twice.

"You came to kill her?" Xiao Feng pointed to the old lady beside him.

Xing Yun Miao glanced at the NPC's info, realized it was Dai Ni Si, and exclaimed in surprise: "How do you know?!"

Xiao Feng shrugged: "My duty is to protect her. Looking at the quest description, I need to take out three players like you."

"What!"

Xing Yun Miao's face filled with disbelief, then her expression changed, she shouted angrily: "You jerk, are you deliberately messing with my mindset! Not returning money, ignoring me, adding me as a friend you keep refusing, just now on the road you arranged an NPC to bump into me, and now you still want to oppose me! You're really over the top!"

"I don't! Clearly you were the first to be rude, saying I'm stupid and rich."

Xiao Feng said innocently, also somewhat amused: "You too were bumped by that NPC?"

"What do you mean 'also'? That Dai Ni Si is clearly arranged by you! She even admitted it herself!" Xing Yun Miao was furious, almost unable to resist hitting someone.

Xiao Feng was left bewildered by her words: "What does that mean? Can an NPC even blackmail? When did I arrange her? Clearly she wanted to bump into me, but I scared her off with a forbidden spell! I'm just an ordinary player, I don't have the ability to command NPCs!"

Hearing that, Xing Yun Miao felt it somewhat made sense.

But she was still indignant, asking: "Then why did she say you had her deal with me? She scammed me out of 1000 gold coins, my total assets are only over 2000!"

While speaking, her tone was extremely aggrieved.

Being scammed by an NPC to this extent is not something just anyone can encounter.

Xiao Feng is strong; a single Meteor Technique scared Dai Ni Si into fleeing, but she's not that fierce.

Although she possesses a divine artifact and her attributes are not weak, facing the level 73 epic strength and extremely cunning Dai Ni Si, she is still completely at a disadvantage, only able to honestly pay 1000 gold coins as "medical fees".

Xiao Feng spoke speechlessly: "She must have been scared by me, wanting to blackmail and smear me. If I had known she would spread rumors like that, I should have just fired a Lightning Arrow to instantly kill her."

"Hmph……"

After hearing the explanation, Xing Yun Miao basically believed him.

However, she was still unhappy inside, her lips pouted high.

"Little lady, was it the High Priest who sent you to kill me?" At this moment, the Moon Poet Dai Ni Si spoke.

Xing Yun Miao saw her attributes, knowing a mythic boss with over ten million HP is not something she could kill, she temporarily gave up the idea of doing the quest.

She replied: "The Moon High Priest says you betrayed the Supreme Deity, stole the divine artifact Moonlight Magic Pearl, therefore ordered you to be killed and the lost artifact reclaimed."

Dai Ni Si shook her head with a bitter smile: "I have never betrayed the Supreme Deity; I merely grew tired of the temple's ugly appearance and wanted to live my own life. As for taking the Moonlight Magic Pearl, it was to be able to survive."

"Um……" Xing Yun Miao didn't know how to respond.

"To survive? What do you mean by that?" Xiao Feng asked.

Dai Ni Si said: "My body has already collapsed; only the divine power within the artifact can sustain my life. Unless I can obtain the nourishment of the Divine Dew Spring, otherwise once I lose it, I will die instantly."

"Hey, there's a way!"

Xiao Feng and Xing Yun Miao aren't rookies; they immediately caught the hint and asked in unison: "What is the Divine Dew Sweet Spring? Where can we get it?"

According to logical reasoning, as long as we can find this thing called the Divine Dew Sweet Spring for Da Fei Ao Nuo and restore her health, she should then give us the divine artifact Moonlight Dharma Pearl.

Although this matter meant nothing to Xiao Feng, he was still quite interested.

Da Fei Ao Nuo explained: "The Divine Dew Sweet Spring is a treasure imbued with miraculous power; it contains strong vitality that can revive withered plants and make the dying elderly grow young again."

"This thing is probably not easy to obtain, right?" Xiao Feng said.

Da Fei Ao Nuo nodded: "Yeah, I've searched for over twenty years and still haven't found it. It's said that only three places in this world have the Divine Dew Sweet Spring, and my strength is still insufficient to delve into those places."

"Which three places?" Xiao Feng and Xing Yun Miao asked hurriedly.

They already smelled the aura of a mission!

Da Fei Ao Nuo named the three locations.

"Shen Jie, the Abyss, and the Myriad Heavens Tower."
