Chapter 3895: Quest
In front of the Moon Altar, Su Xiao puts away the art notebook. He has decided to hand the 【Blazing Sun Greatsword】 to the Monarch Faction of Dusk City. Doing so has two benefits: first, there is no need to immediately fall out with the Monarch Faction; second, it increases the reward cap for this world.
Su Xiao estimates that when he returns to Dusk City this time, the Monarch Faction will likely choose to tear off their masks with him. The assassination led by the old nobility last time was just a probe; this time, the Monarch Faction is already on the verge of firing.
This situation looks very confusing. Su Xiao is clearly representing Dusk City to participate in this Path to Kingship and retrieve "Sun Source Stones" one by one. Why would the Monarch Faction, as the leaders of Dusk City, target him like this?
This has to mention the internal power division of the Monarch Faction. As the contemporary Blazing Sun Monarch, Ashlot is naturally at the very top of the pyramid. The problem is the three people under the King: the old noble Augus, the Minister of Finance Heibosha, and the Sun Warrior Leader.
Among these three, Augus is a conservative, representing the interests of the old nobility; Heibosha is a radical, representing the interests of high-level officials, newly promoted power brokers, and newly promoted families. As for the Sun Warrior Leader, he is not neutral; he simply does not express his stance. The Old Day Guardian Legion composed of Sun Warriors is led by this person.
There is a huge misunderstanding in the outside world that the three people under the King can occasionally meet the Blazing Sun Monarch Ashlot. In fact, this is not the case. The Sun Warrior Leader can indeed meet him often, as he guards outside the palace. The old noble Augus and the Minister of Finance Heibosha rarely see the Blazing Sun Monarch.
The Central City District of Dusk City is isolated from the world. As the Blazing Sun Monarch Ashlot of the Sun God Clan, his status is actually closer to a deity of Dusk City than a monarch. The ones who truly perform the functions of a monarch are the old noble Augus and the Minister of Finance Heibosha.
Especially the up-and-comer Heibosha, she has only seen the Blazing Sun Monarch Ashlot a few times in her life, and the Blazing Sun Monarch Ashlot has not even said a single word to her.
This resulted in Heibosha's first reaction being suspicion when she heard that once the "Blazing Sun Blood" of the Sun God Clan loses its successor, the sun in the sky will fall. In Heibosha's view, this looks more like a struggle before the Sun God Clan completely declines, and a means for the old nobility to seize more power from her hands.
The style of the Central City District of Dusk City is forbidden zones, blazing sun, inheritance, ancient brilliance, remnants of the Sun Ancient Dragon War, and perfect divine blood. It does not even need daily supplies here, and food supply is not needed.
The style of the Inner City District of Dusk City is power struggles, nobility, pleasure, murder, wealth, and daily necessities.
So, the previous assumption that the newly promoted power broker Heibosha was the confidant of the Blazing Sun Monarch was wrong.
From Heibosha's perspective, the more "Sun Source Stones" Su Xiao retrieves, the more it highlights the supreme status of the Sun God Clan. Given that the contemporary Blazing Sun Monarch will definitely not show up, the actions of Su Xiao's team are equivalent to helping the old nobility build up their momentum.
Heibosha certainly knows that "Sun Source Stones" can bring power, but she has no interest in "Sun Source Stones." Looking at the powerful people who possess "Sun Source Stones," none of them have a good ending; they are either in dangerous places or have already been killed.
This is also why the old noble Augus was willing to soften his stance for that assassination before. If this were truly the decision of all the old nobility, Augus would definitely not lower his attitude. It was three collateral old nobles who did this under Heibosha's secret instigation. Augus would not take the blame for Heibosha.
The fourth strong enemy Su Xiao is about to deal with, the Nun, is in Dusk City. Since she is an Undead and can still sleep peacefully in Dusk City, it means this Nun's status is extremely high. Once a battle with her occurs, the already bad relationship with the Monarch Faction will immediately become hostile.
If the 【Blazing Sun Greatsword】 is given to the Central City District, hindered by the might of the Old Day Guardians, the old noble Augus can only play dead later, and by allying with the Great Library, let the Great Library drag down Heibosha's side. In this way, Su Xiao will have a chance to fight the Nun to the death.
The subsequent plan is clear. Just as Su Xiao is about to turn and leave, he hears the sound of liquid surging from above. Looking up, the rock ceiling resembling ice cones cracks open.
As the ceiling cracks and rocks fall, a surging black flesh hangs down, on which twisted and painful faces appear. If one's knowledge is not broad enough, one would definitely raise a hand and slash with a blade. However, Su Xiao has fought his way to the Absolute Strong level, and his knowledge is naturally quite good. He recognizes this as a Whisperer of the Ancient Dragon Faction.
The so-called Whisperer is similar to existences like messengers and corrupt familiars. It looks quite scary, but it is actually gentle and harmless. The corrupt familiar is a representative. This guy looks disgusting and scary, but if you kick it, it will only hide far away and then look at you with grievance.
According to the Whisperer recorded in ancient books, this thing should be gray. Seeing that this Whisperer is already pitch-black and its body is severely decayed, it looks like it is on the verge of death.
"Law-Breaker, friend of the Dark Moon... Ancient Flying Dragon, I can... quietly... tell you."
The Whisperer speaks in a very bloated voice, sounding a bit blurry. As for saying that the Law-Breaker is a friend of the Dark Moon Faction and the Ancient Flying Dragon, this is not worth being surprised. Even the Sun Faction, which is hostile to these two sides, has a friendly relationship with the Law-Breaker Faction. Ask yourself, which major faction would oppose a faction that finds "Abyss Breeding" and "Elemental Devouring" to hammer every day?
"Ancient Flying Dragon... in... the desolate city of exile and death, the Ancient Dragon Altar, waiting for... the death of the Undead."
After the Whisperer says this, one of its faces protrudes, and then it vomits a large piece of Ancient Flying Dragon scales in great pain. This scale, which resembles a metallic texture, shatters as soon as it hits the ground, revealing a mark inside.
Picking it up and looking at the energy volatilization speed of this Ancient Dragon mark, this mark will dissipate within about five days.
The hanging Whisperer begins to decay and dissolve, turning into a pool of black sewage after hitting the ground, slowly evaporating. Su Xiao throws a gas mask to Xiang Bubu Wang and Baja each. The Whisperer is indeed not aggressive, but the evaporated matter after its death is highly toxic. Once poisoned, one will definitely die.
Exiting the space where the Moon Altar is located, it is full of poisonous mist, which is fine; there is no need to worry about others breaking in and destroying the Moon Altar.
The two gargoyles at the door are nowhere to be found. It seems they were worried that Su Xiao would slaughter them for materials after coming out, so they decisively ran away.
After contacting Lu Siwa, he learns that they have already taken the 【Lord Train】 to Dusk City. Su Xiao and Lu Siwa agree to meet at the "Land of God Exile" and subsequently go to the Sacred Heart City, the territory of the All-Gods Religion, together with him.
This time going to Sacred Heart City, Su Xiao received a commission from the Bishop's Court of the All-Gods Religion to help them eliminate two "Undying/Abyss Breeders." Originally, Su Xiao wanted to do it for "free," but he could not withstand the enthusiasm of the Bishop's Court of the All-Gods Religion, which insisted on paying Su Xiao a 【Soul-Devouring Gem】. This is one of the eight strongest gems.
Counting this 【Soul-Devouring Gem】, Su Xiao already has three of the eight strongest gems, which are the 【Soul Gem】, 【Willpower Gem】, and the 【Soul-Devouring Gem】 that is about to be obtained.
Because of the gem curse, the only one Su Xiao truly possesses is the 【Soul Gem】 embedded at the end of the Checking Zhan Long Shan hilt, which has 100% recognition of him. As for the 【Willpower Gem】, he has already sold it to a fated person at a "discount price" of 1.75 million Soul Coins. It must be said that the fated person's life is truly tough; the 【Willpower Gem】 only has 65% recognition of him, but he has not been cursed to death yet.
Su Xiao estimates that it is about the time this world progress ends, and that fated person will be about done. Since he is the previous holder of the 【Willpower Gem】, the gem will definitely return to him.
As a Hunter/Dead Silence White King/Eternal Light Supreme Will/Law-Breaker of the Shadow, although he is not afraid of being cursed to death by the 【Willpower Gem】, he also cannot bear the "Gem Curse" caused by using more than one of the strongest gems. Therefore, continuing to sell the returning 【Willpower Gem】 and the soon-to-be-obtained 【Soul-Devouring Gem】 to a fated person is the best choice.
If a buyer with gem recognition of 95% or more comes to buy, the price certainly cannot be lower than 3 million Soul Coins. For buyers with recognition below 70%, selling the 【Willpower Gem】 for 1.75 million last time was indeed a bit high. This time, one can consider, 800,000 Soul Coins for the 【Willpower Gem】 and 【Soul-Devouring Gem】 each?
Still a bit high. If a "Warrior Fated Person" with gem recognition below 50% comes to buy, discount it to 500,000 Soul Coins each. If there is a super tough guy who wants to buy both the 【Willpower Gem】 and 【Soul-Devouring Gem】 to challenge the power of the "Gem Curse," 500,000 Soul Coins... buy one get one free!
Speaking of which, the characteristics of the strongest gems actually have the meaning of low-profile original sin items. While the strongest gems provide powerful bonuses, they also have "causal prices." As for why Su Xiao possesses the 【Soul Gem】 without this price, the "Book of Original Sin" smiles and says nothing.
The "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array" is formed under Su Xiao's feet.
Boom!
In the underground shelter deep beneath the Land of Exile, the fresh air makes people feel physically and mentally refreshed. On the carpet of several dozen square meters in the center, the Apocalypse Three Sisters, who completed a chain quest and returned to sleep happily, all get up because of a muffled sound.
Hao Mei's eyes are not yet open, but she is already squatting on the ground with a sharp sword, preparing for a sword strike. Mo Lei, who is bewildered, carries the dazed Moon Apostle on her back, preparing to pull away under Hao Mei's cover to avoid the melee-weak Moon Apostle from dying. Do not look at Mo Lei usually bullying the Moon Apostle, but when there is danger, Mo Lei is simply the Moon Apostle's angel.
"What are you doing? Is there an enemy coming?"
Baja lands on the refrigerator, opens it, grabs two cans of ice beer from inside, throws one to Amu first, then pulls the tab himself, and gulps it down.
"You guys are even more terrifying than an enemy attack."
Mo Lei yawns while speaking.
"It's just a teleportation array."
Baja throws away the empty beer can and hurriedly pulls a few bags of snacks from the refrigerator to fill his stomach, because he has already seen Amu walking toward the refrigerator.
"Whose serious teleportation array makes a thumping sound."
The Moon Apostle mutters in a low voice.
"Wang?"
Xiang Bubu Wang tilts his head in confusion, because he finds this sentence familiar.
Sitting on a single sofa, Su Xiao opens the quest list. Just now, encountering the Whisperer, he triggered a side quest notarized by the Tree of Void.
【Side Quest: First Ring: Mark.】
Quest Notary: Tree of Void.
Difficulty Level: Lv. 88.
Quest Introduction: Investigate the origin of this mark.
Quest Deadline: 5 natural days.
Quest Reward: This quest reward is in cumulative mode; only after completing the final link can all accumulated rewards be obtained.
Quest Penalty: All attributes -15 points.
This is a quest notarized by the Tree of Void. 99% of the quests Su Xiao receives are notarized by Reincarnation Paradise.
As a quest notarized by the Tree of Void, this quest can be shared with teammates in the same team. Although the rewards are split, for Su Xiao, this is the best choice. Quests notarized by the Tree of Void will determine the quest reward bonus ratio based on the Tree of Void reputation.
Su Xiao's quest reward bonus ratio for this quest is 0%. Do not think this is very low; with his -??? Tree of Void reputation, his quest reward bonus ratio is not negative, which is already the Tree of Void being lenient in notarization.
Fortunately, this quest can be shared, and on the opposite side.
Mo Lei: Tree of Void reputation 15860 points.
Moon Apostle: Tree of Void reputation 14822 points.
Hao Mei: Tree of Void reputation 13950 points.
If this quest is shared with the Apocalypse Three Sisters, then this quest will be boosted by the "quest reward bonus ratio" corresponding to (15860+14822+13950)÷4=11158 points of Tree of Void reputation.
Under this boost, even if the final reward is split among four people, what each person gets is several times higher than the exclusive reward for completing it alone now.
"I have a good thing to share with you..."
Su Xiao just said this when he heard.
"I have no Soul Coins."
"You won't have any if you beat me, unless you beat Mo Lei."
"I have it if you don't beat me."
"..."
Su Xiao does not speak. Under his "kind" gaze, Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei sit in a row on the sofa in front.
"There is a quest to share with you."
Hearing Su Xiao say this, the Apocalypse Three Sisters look at each other. Then Mo Lei pinches the Moon Apostle's face and asks: "Does it hurt?"
Discovering that tears are starting to accumulate in the Moon Apostle's eyes, Mo Lei hurriedly apologizes. It can only be said that the Apocalypse Three Sisters have joy if they have strength, have joy if they have wisdom, and have wealth... cough~, this is indeed true, and they are also very capable of fighting.
Pulling all the Apocalypse Three Sisters into the Dawn Team, Su Xiao shares the quest. Almost simultaneously, Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei receive the same hint.
【Hint: You have shared the side quest: Ancient Legend.】
【This quest difficulty has significantly exceeded your brand level. You need to be cautious in executing this quest, and because the comprehensive difficulty of this quest is higher than your brand level by Lv. 10 or more, you can abandon this quest without cost.】
Although this is a quest notarized by the Tree of Void, it is issued to Su Xiao, who is a Hunter of Reincarnation Paradise. In terms of quest format, it is closer to the Reincarnation Paradise style. This can be seen from the fact that the quest introduction only has the words "Investigate the origin of this mark."
Seeing this quest introduction, Mo Lei is bewildered. She scratches her head with one hand, her expression complex: "The introduction of this quest... is really an introduction. It's too concise! Only eight words. Do not be so sloppy; at least give a clue!"
Mo Lei is angered by the introduction of this quest. From the First Tier to the current Ninth Tier peak, she has really never received such a quest. Even if the quest is difficult, at least it will give some clues. This time's "Investigate the origin of this mark" has completely stumped her.
Especially after seeing the quest item "Ancient Dragon Mark," she is even more confused. This thing, even the basic attributes have not been notarized. Is it too perfunctory as a core quest item?
Upon learning that when accepting this quest, the Whisperer still had a few words, the fire of hope in the eyes of the Apocalypse Three Sisters reignites. However, after listening, they fall back into confusion.
Ignoring the Apocalypse Three Sisters who are racking their brains because the quest introduction is really just an introduction, Su Xiao puts down the teacup. With his rich quest experience and experience in skipping many links to do quests, the sentence the Whisperer said just now should run through the entire side quest. Although this side quest may have several rings and is not a small quest, this is a side quest after all, and the breadth of the quest background cannot be compared with the main quest.
"Ancient Flying Dragon... in... the desolate city of exile and death, the Ancient Dragon Altar, waiting for... the death of the Undead."
First, talk about this Ancient Flying Dragon. This is the core of the quest. Then "the death of the Undead" is that an Ancient Flying Dragon became an Undead in this world. Having the Undead characteristic is painful and helpless for the Ancient Flying Dragon.
Until the Ancient Flying Dragon Faction was defeated, they did not say a soft word to the Sun Faction. Both sides were too tough. They fought for two and a half eras. One side was completely wiped out, and the other was about to decline to extinction. Throughout the process, neither side ever softened.
With such a proud Ancient Flying Dragon, how could it be willing to endure this Undead curse? Considering that the most severe punishment in the Sun Faction is the Undead curse, the existence of this Undead/Ancient Flying Dragon is not surprising.
After analyzing this point, everything else is easy to handle. The "desolate city of exile and death" mentioned by the Whisperer must be the "Dead City." In the First Era, the Sun Faction would impose the Undead curse on serious criminals and then exile them to the "Dead City."
The meaning of the Whisperer's whole sentence is that an Undead Ancient Flying Dragon is located in the Ancient Altar of the Dead City, waiting for the arrival of death. Judging from this, the final goal of this quest is to kill this Undead/Ancient Flying Dragon, and it is highly likely that no battle is needed. The key lies in whether there is the ability to slash and extinguish the Undead.
Regarding why the first ring of the quest is to investigate the origin of the Ancient Dragon Mark, the meaning contained in it is 99% to find the key quest NPC and repair the "Ancient Dragon Mark" through them. This is the key to going to the Dead City and opening the Ancient Dragon Altar.
Su Xiao takes out the Eye of Mystery. In terms of alchemy, his talent in pharmacology is top-notch. As for alchemy item manufacturing... let's not mention it for now. In short, the "Silent Servant" and "Tunneling Servant" are the threshold-level manufacturing products of alchemy item manufacturing, which are his peak works in this regard. And after helping the team leader manufacture the "World Stabilizer" last time, the team leader never asked Su Xiao to manufacture alchemy items again...
Because of his "extraordinary talent" in alchemy item manufacturing, Su Xiao's development of the Eye of Mystery does not reach one ten-thousandth. Even so, with the improvement of his vision, he discovered that this Eye of Mystery should be the supreme work left by the Second Era/Alchemy Civilization besides the "Alchemy Secret Code."
The Eye of Mystery is like a circular Rubik's cube, with ten million... no, it is hundreds of billions of different combinations. A true alchemy master can use the Eye of Mystery as an Eye of Omnipotence.
Su Xiao can only make the Eye of Mystery run in a way that even he feels confused. In short, as long as it is adjusted, no matter how unbelievable the operation method of the Eye of Mystery is, do not try to correct it. Once corrected, it will definitely not be able to run.
Besides reconnaissance, picking locks, and enhancing equipment of similar volume, he also developed other uses, but this time he only needs the characteristic of "enhancing equipment of similar volume."
Su Xiao comes to the workbench and takes out various items. After an hour of manufacturing, a repair device the size of a goose egg is formed. This thing is very ordinary in the eyes of Second Era/Alchemists, but after Su Xiao enhanced this repair device with the Eye of Mystery, its performance immediately increased several times.
Using a Soul Crystal as energy supply, Su Xiao uses this repair device to start repairing the "Ancient Mark." Mechanical tentacles extend, converting the purest soul energy into adaptive energy as a filler for repair.
After more than ten minutes of precise operation, the repair is completed. All the missing parts of the "Ancient Dragon Mark" are restored, and a deep shimmer flows over the entire mark.
After thinking for a while, Su Xiao takes out the 【Ring of World】, which is the key item that can kill the Undead. Besides this, he takes out the 【Oath Emblem/White Dragon】 and 【Cold Will】.
【Cold Will】 is the supreme treasure of the Ancient Dragon Faction, and it is the best proof. In his view, the Ancient Flying Dragon in the Ancient Dragon Altar should be a lonely and proud existence. Coupled with the tough temper of the Ancient Dragon Faction that could hammer the Sun Faction for two and a half eras, even if tortured by the Undead curse, it would not be willing to be slashed and extinguished by a nameless junior.
Conversely, holding the representative item of the Ancient Dragon Faction, 【Oath Emblem/White Dragon】, means that to a certain extent, they are one of their own. Being slashed and extinguished by one of their own, that Ancient Flying Dragon tortured by the Undead curse will definitely be willing to accept this ending.
The supreme treasure of the Ancient Dragon Faction, 【Cold Will】, represents the status in the Ancient Dragon Faction. Holding these two, as the person who slashes and extinguishes the Undead walking into the Ancient Dragon Altar, that Ancient Flying Dragon will lower its head and wait quietly to be freed from the Undead curse.
After taking out these four items, Su Xiao chooses to submit the quest while the "Side Quest: Ancient Legend" is still at 0% completion. He did not go to find the important NPC who repairs the "Ancient Dragon Mark," so the quest completion naturally gets stuck at 0%.
【You are attempting to submit Side Quest: Ancient Legend.】
As quest sharers, Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei naturally also receive this hint. The three look over in confusion. In the next second, the series of hints that appear makes the Apocalypse Three Sisters even more bewildered.
【You have completed Side Quest: First Ring/Mark.】

【You have triggered Side Quest: Final Link/Ancient Dragon Altar.】
【Side Quest: Final Link/Ancient Dragon Altar.】
Quest Notary: Tree of Void.
Quest Level: Lv. 95.
Danger Level: Lv. 89.
Quest Introduction: Go to the Dead City/Ancient Dragon Altar and kill the Ancient Flying Dragon.
Quest Deadline: Before the end of this world progress (due to the characteristics of this quest, there is no quest completion speed-related judgment).
Quest Reward: After completion, rewards will be settled based on the accumulated quest completion degree.
Failure Penalty: None.
This quest successfully advances to the final ring. The quest level is not low. In terms of danger, it mainly comes from the journey to the Dead City and the risks corresponding to entering the Dead City. As expected, there is no need to fight the Undead/Ancient Flying Dragon at that time.
"This is already... the final link of the quest?"
Mo Lei, who is stunned for a few seconds, flips through the series of hints again. This quest is like a dream. She looks at the Moon Apostle and Hao Mei, and from each other's eyes, they can see that the other is still a bit doubting life.
Su Xiao closes the quest list and walks onto the short-range teleportation array to go to the surface above. When the teleportation fluctuations subside, the erosive sunlight shines down, as if it can melt and evaporate the flesh and blood of living beings, leaving only a skeleton.
After waiting for a while, ripples appear in the space in the distance, and the Lord Train, like a steel beast, rushes out from the different space. After getting on the train, Su Xiao finds that Delona is also there. Just now, Lu Siwa returned to Dusk City because he wanted to send Delona back, letting Delona, who had "suffered" in the Dark Moon Nightmare, stay in Dusk City for a period of time to soothe her heart.
Lu Siwa did not see that two hours ago, when Delona got on the Lord Train and the train drove away from the Dark Moon Nightmare, those nightmare creatures who were secretly watching almost cried with joy. This little aunt who bullied them whenever she had nothing to do finally left.
Delona is different from Ayesha. Delona has a personality that cannot stay still. This time it is Sacred Heart City, helping the All-Gods Religion eliminate the Undying/Abyss Breeders. If she does not go to join in the fun, Delona will feel uncomfortable in her heart and will not be able to eat or sleep well for the next half month.
After the group got on the train, Su Xiao took out the 【Book of Gates】 to check. This 【Book of Gates】 has ten pages. How to get the three "Sun Source Stones" they possess from the Priest's team depends on this 【Book of Gates】. Of course, it is not to trade with the Tree-Born Pages of the 【Book of Gates】, but in a more unexpected way, and in a way that the Priest's team cannot solve.
The speed of the Lord Train is beyond doubt. The journey that originally took less than two days at full speed arrived in an hour and a half. Walking off the train, Su Xiao sees the magnificent but somewhat old-fashioned Sacred Heart City. This big city was not built by the All-Gods Religion; it was built by a chamber of commerce force many years ago. Later, that chamber of commerce was destroyed in a bloody night, and the All-Gods Religion took over this big city.
After entering the city, the environment in the city is a bit dim. What comes into view are buildings with Gothic architectural styles. These buildings are tall and thin, with sharp roofs, combined with blackened and damp streets, as well as thick and greasy black moss at the roots of the walls, and the dim environment, along with the dark sky, makes people immediately feel the hospitality of this place.
To what extent is the combat power of the residents of Sacred Heart City fierce? The answer is that after the bloody night comes, the wild beasts are not very willing to come to attack here. The pitch-black on the streets and buildings here is stained by the blood of wild beasts.
Every bloody night is both a night of disaster and a sign of harvest. That's right, Sacred Heart City, which is severely lacking in food, will eat the flesh and blood of wild beasts. Fortunately, the residents of Sacred Heart City will cook them before eating.
Eating the flesh and blood and hearts of wild beasts will definitely be gradually eroded by beastliness and madness. A certain amount of beastliness and madness is definitely an improvement in combat power in the early stage. With combat power, one can hunt wild beasts to have more food, thereby ensuring the population quantity with food. In this way, Sacred Heart City adapted to the arrival of the bloody night. The price is that the population of Sacred Heart City is no longer the big city with tens of millions of people in rumors, but has 1.8 to 2 million people.
If the sun of this world really falls, the city that can survive in the end must be Sacred Heart City. The folk customs here are so fierce that even the All-Gods Religion that controls this place has to restrain itself. The residents of Sacred Heart City and the All-Gods Religion maintain a relationship of not interfering with each other.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally one is in a hurry. The high-collared black clothes block nearly half of the face. The pale complexion and radial pupils are side effects of long-term consumption of wild beast flesh and blood.
Speaking of which, the fourth strong enemy the Big Smart Team has to deal with, the exiled Sun Warrior Leader, is in the abandoned city district of Sacred Heart City. With the hospitality of the residents of Sacred Heart City, I cannot help but break into a cold sweat for the Big Smart Team.
Not long after Su Xiao entered Sacred Heart City, he saw many members of the All-Gods Religion walking over. These members of the All-Gods Religion were all wearing robes and hoods. The leaders were all ruthless characters at the bishop level of the Bishop's Court. From this faction, it seems that the All-Gods Religion should have dispatched more than 80% of its combat power.
A group of members of the All-Gods Religion obviously did not let Su Xiao continue to move forward. Under the negotiation of a one-eyed bishop, Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the city. On the wilderness outside the city, the All-Gods Religion did not show the rumored rudeness and madness, and was even particularly polite.
Half an hour later, a group of members of the All-Gods Religion left two five-meter-high sealed containers and a wooden box containing the 【Soul-Devouring Gem】, and then left quickly.
It seems that the encounter in the treasury of the Soul Academy made the All-Gods Religion take it as a warning. Su Xiao smashed a hole in the metal sealed container with one hand. This container looks like cast iron material. He walked into it, and low roars came from the darkness, as well as the devouring sound of the magic spirit.
A moment later, Su Xiao broke away from the sealed container. After smashing another container, he rushed into it. The roars in the container this time shook cracks in the surrounding air, but stopped abruptly in the next second.
Su Xiao walked out of the pitch-black sealed container. The magic spirit clinging to his right arm, making his right arm pitch-black, gradually faded. While his right arm recovered, the magic spirit returned to Checking Zhan Long Shan.
Seeing this scene, Delona hid behind her brother Lu Siwa. Delona, who was not afraid of heaven or earth, was now a bit afraid of Su Xiao. Having the ability of the Abyss Incubator, she would naturally feel afraid after witnessing the Undying/Abyss Breeder being devoured and eliminated, because the Abyss Incubator is one of the very powerful Abyss breedings.
Lu Siwa had other things to do in Sacred Heart City, so the two sides parted ways again. However, knowing that Su Xiao was going to Xiguang City on the east side of Dusk City, Lu Siwa summoned the Lord Train. After setting the destination, the train carried Su Xiao's team and set off.
The scenery outside the train window flew by. Su Xiao appreciated it for a while and started to sit and meditate. Two hours later, Xiang Bubu Wang beside him barked. Opening his eyes, he could already see Xiguang City from afar, and the train slowed down appropriately.
As the base camp of the friendly faction, Xiguang City naturally did not allow Su Xiao to enter. Last time he was preparing to come here, out of politeness, he greeted the City Lord of Xiguang City in advance through Lu Siwa as an intermediary.
At that time, Lu Siwa's expression was basically: Are you sure you want me to do this favor?
The result was that the talk collapsed on the spot. The City Lord of Xiguang City almost fought Lu Siwa. As the City Lord here, she naturally did not allow the madman Lu Siwa, who slaughtered the entire "Corrupt City," to linger here.
Su Xiao did not know that Lu Siwa was a top dangerous person that Xiguang City was wary of? He certainly knew, but looking around, among the high-level officials of major factions he knew in this world, Lu Siwa had the lowest hatred value on Xiguang City's side.
Possibly due to the negative charm attribute, after Su Xiao entered this world, his relationship with Xiguang City was: -250000 points (Initial Enemy).
Looking at the relevant list again now, very good, it is already -270000 points (Initial Enemy), which just corresponds to the -27 charm attribute.
Su Xiao is convinced that there are many opportunities to get benefits in Xiguang City. This is an area notarized by the Apocalypse Paradise. The City Lord is considered half a neutral unit in this world. It is said that after negotiating with this City Lord, one can trigger a quest list, and the many quests displayed in it will change according to the contractor's level.
With Su Xiao's contractor level of Lv. 95, he can certainly receive top-tier Absolute Strong-level quests from the City Lord. If he specifically looks for that kind of single-ring quest that corresponds to the strong enemies he must deal with later, the profit of coming to the Blazing Sun Star this time will increase by at least 30%.
Su Xiao has quite a few quests now, but this is not a problem. The "Abyss Quest" and "Dudu Gugu Special Quest" are long-term quests and cannot be completed in this world. Besides these, there are only "Main Quest," "Side Quest/Ancient Dragon Altar (Final Link)," and "Chain Quest/Dark Moon Ritual (Final Link)."
Both of the latter have completion methods, it is just that the timing is not right yet. In this way, the only thing Su Xiao needs to complete now is the main quest. Getting more high-difficulty quests corresponding to subsequent strong enemies is undoubtedly the best choice. Coupled with the fact that the enemies he is about to deal with are one more outrageous than the other, the rewards for these quests will also be extremely high.
The only difficulty at the moment is that Su Xiao cannot enter Xiguang City. No, he can actually walk into it, provided that he forcibly breaks in, causing Xiguang City to be blown away by the aftermath of the battle. Then he cannot accept Xiguang City quests, and the City Lord of Xiguang City will be endless.
For this, Su Xiao already has a solution. After entering the city, he can even negotiate normally with the City Lord. He takes out the "Silver Moon Blade." After activating it many times, he successfully triggers the charm attribute bonus, and his charm attribute becomes 366/-27 points.
This is not enough. He takes out the Hunter Title.
【Hunter】
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Quality: Special
Title Effect: After wearing this title, you will obtain Disguise/Hunter and activate the corresponding Paradise Brand.
Remaining Disguise Time Limit: 240 hours (this time limit can be replenished by consuming Soul Coins).
Su Xiao activates the disguise of 【Hunter】 and selects the Hunter/Summoner he edited before. The overall attire is 90% similar to Saint Flame Pharmacist. Besides this, this identity corresponds to the Apocalypse Paradise/Contract Brand.
In the different space, Su Xiao, who completed the disguise, walked off the train, and the train turned and drove away. As he got off the train, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja also came down together. Because of the disguise effect of the title, their appearance and aura also changed, looking like permanent summoned objects of the summoning system.
Walking out of the different space, the sun outside is bright and the breeze is blowing. Su Xiao leads Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja forward. If you look at this scene from a distance, it is: at this moment, a friendly and easygoing Apocalypse Paradise/ordinary summoner is walking toward Xiguang City. ===== CHAPTER 3896 =====
