MTL - I Became the King of Villains In the Game-Chapter 411 A-Level Quest: The Caretaker of the Gatekeeper
Chapter 411 A-level task: The concern of the gatekeeper
After Chen Lun walked into the tower, his originally dark vision suddenly brightened.
Like a sensor lamp, there are glowing lines on the inner wall, illuminating the environment. He noticed that standing in front of him was a figure covered in cloth strips, his hands and head were exposed, but they were covered with blue crystals, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Meet Ms. Frederick."
Chen Lun saluted the figure touching his chest.
But the other party stood there quietly without any response.
"That's a sculpture I made with my own hands..."
A female voice came from above her head, with a slightly helpless tone.
"Come up the stairs next to me, I'm on the top floor."
Chen Lun was slightly startled, and then nodded without changing his face.
"Yes, Ms. Freddie."
Because he knew very well that what he was going to face at this moment was a high-ranking magician, so he didn't dare to use life spying rashly, so that he couldn't identify the identity of the crystallized human body at the first time... But as long as he is not embarrassed, then the embarrassing one is someone else .
Chen Lun turned around and stepped on the stairs as if nothing had happened, and walked up.
He looked at the layout of the tower along the way, and found that the space on each floor was not large, only one or two rooms, but the doors were closed tightly, and he didn't know what was hidden inside.
When he climbed up to the 33rd floor, he found that there was no room here, but a relatively spacious hall. The bookcases around were filled with books of all sizes, and there were pieces of sheepskin inserted in the carved bookcases in the corner. paper scroll.
Drawings hung on the wall, filled with black or dark blue handwriting, a combination of patterns and characters, and even a small number of complicated and mysterious magic circle rituals. With his own mystic attainments, Chen Lun only Can understand a little bit.
'Probably some kind of magic principle, as well as some ritual steps. '
Chen Lun thought after looking at it for a while.
He could smell a wood-specific aroma permeating this hall, which became more intense after burning, and seemed to be some kind of incense... Chen Lun then looked at the tall figure standing in front of the crystal wall French windows.
This is a woman with long blue-purple hair, dressed in a plain and simple linen robe, looking out of the transparent crystal wall window with her arms crossed, overlooking the darkness below the crater.
"Ms. Frederick."
Chen Lun bowed towards him.
"Hello, Jack."
The other party turned around slowly, revealing a mature and good-looking face, especially those blue-green eyes, which were deep and vicissitudes, full of wisdom.
"I have read the manuscripts and letters, thank you for sending them."
Looking at Fred Cui's plain expression, Chen Lun couldn't help but secretly slander:
‘I remember that Carmen left some crappy love poems in the handbook, specially written to his teacher... But the other party didn’t seem to respond. Carmen is really a licking dog, how pitiful. '
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Frederick took out a cigarette and lit it, and said in a low voice with tired and melancholy eyes:
"My unfulfilling student has always wanted to prove himself to me... It's really worrying that he hasn't returned for several years."
When Chen Lun heard it, he felt that the facts seemed to be somewhat different from what he thought.
It seems that Frederick still has feelings for his student... It's just not the kind of love between men and women, but pure concern for the younger generation.
At the same time as a senior player, he smelled the breath of "mission", and the level of this "mission" is definitely not low. So Chen Lun's expression changed, and he said very seriously:
"Mr. Carmen's letter is of great help to me, which is why I am willing to travel long distances to send him the letter... Although I am not strong enough, I want to contribute more. Ms. Frederick, is there anyone I can help? The place?"
"What a warm-hearted young man."
Frederick exhaled a puff of smoke and said with emotion.
The smoke is not the pungent tobacco smell of ordinary cigarettes, but some kind of strange herbal aroma...It smells like some kind of homemade "refreshing cigarette".
He smoked a cigarette, but shook his head slightly.
"As you said, Jack, your strength is indeed a little low. I am very grateful for your kindness, but you can't help much..."
Field Cui's eyes showed memories, and he said slowly:
"My student Carmen, inadvertently learned something about my past, so he ignored my persuasion and insisted on going to the dark world to help me fulfill my wish, but he was also trapped there and couldn't get out."
Chen Lun thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was not without opportunities, so he continued:
"Ms. Frederick, I am currently serving as the consul of the Orthodox Church' Generous Council" Senate, and I will join the Imperial Tribunal in the near future...Recently there is turmoil in the spiritual world, and I may be ordered to go to the dark world to investigate this matter Maybe I can help you find Mr. Carmen's whereabouts along the way...Maybe with the power of the Imperial Jury, you can help him out of trouble?"
"I know you, Jack, I have foreseen some things in the future through divination."
Fei Decui nodded slightly, thoughtful.
He seemed to be moved by Chen Lun, put down the cigarette between his fingers, and stared at him meaningfully for a few seconds.
"Since you insist on doing me this favor, then please."
【Trigger A-level mission: The caretaker's worries! 】
Mission Description: Meteor Tower Hermit Frederick has always missed his student Carmen. In order to fulfill Frederick's wish, he went to the dark world alone, but has not returned yet. Frederick used his powerful divination power to learn that the student Carmen was in the dark and could not get out...and because of some other reasons, he could not leave the Meteor Tower.
You volunteered and said that you would find out the whereabouts of the student Carmen and help him get out of trouble.
Mission Objective: Find Carmen and help him leave the dark world and return to the present world.
Mission rewards: 500,000 experience points, 20 attribute points, 10 special attribute points, favorability between Frederick and Carmen, and unknown rewards.
‘Accept the task. '
Chen Lun was delighted, and silently confirmed the acceptance of the task.
At the same time, he passed the name of the task, and he was a little confused.
'Watchmen? Does it refer to Frederick... Then which door is guarding? '
Chen Lun thought of the location of the Meteor Tower, that is, the Augusta crater, and guessed in his heart that the so-called gatekeeper might refer to the person guarding the volcano.
Immediately, he recalled the conversation just now, feeling a little strange.
Fei Decui gave him a feeling of playing hard to get, as if he deliberately declined and refused, so that Chen Lun actively offered to help.
"Cough..."
Fei Decui coughed lightly, stubbed out the cigarette, then raised his eyes and stared at Chen Lun for a few times.
"I don't have anything to offer as a reward. Here are a few homemade cigarettes. I'll give them to you. I hope you won't be disgusted."
He took out a palm-sized box and handed it to Chen Lun.
【Extraordinary: Frederick hand-rolled cigarettes】
Item Description: A cigarette that contains magical power. It is made by the hermit Frederick from a mixture of dozens of exotic herbs and Augusta volcanic rock powder. It has a strong sanity recovery effect.
Chen Lun was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ms. Fred Cui to give this kind of thing as a gift.
Although the box is small, it actually contains the internal space. It is not just a few cigarettes as Frederic Cui said... but a pile of cigarettes, hundreds of thousands.
Each refreshing cigarette is actually equivalent to a bottle of tranquilizer, which is considered a generous gift to him. After all, this is not a mission reward, but an extra gain.
"Thank you for your gift, I will try my best to help you find Mr. Carmen."
Chen Lun put away the box and said respectfully.
Fei Decui nodded and sat on the ground. Immediately afterwards, he called the blue-green crystal doll at the bottom of the tower, and ordered it to massage its shoulders behind its back.
"Jack, I still have a problem, can you help me?"
He said suddenly.
Chen Lun's eyes brightened slightly.
'Ok? Still have a task? '
He immediately said:
"Ms. Frederick, please speak."
"Well, it's like this..."
Fei Decui pointed to the surrounding environment with a melancholy expression on his face.
"Due to special reasons, I can't leave the Meteor Tower at will, so many supplies and extraordinary materials are sent by people from the natural sect... Although I have a good relationship with Mrs. Elk, I don't want to keep taking her things for nothing... Cough, you Do you know what I mean?"
Chen Lun was slightly taken aback.
What does this great magician mean, that he is short of money?
‘Don’t the high-ranking people all have incarnations...couldn’t even the avatars leave here? '
He thought to himself, pretending to be surprised, and then took out an Imperial Bank voucher from the panel with great interest, and wrote the amount of 20,000 gold pounds on it.
"Ms. Frederick, this is my heart, I hope you can accept it... You are a high-ranking person in magic, but you are worried about ordinary property. You must have put all your energy on the pursuit of knowledge. I am very impressed."
Chen Lun handed over the voucher with both hands, with a respectful expression on his face.
Fired Cui hesitated, took a look at the voucher, and then handed it back.
"Forget it, I can't ask for the money."
Chen Lun was stunned again, the other party's reaction was always beyond his expectation.
The great magician gave him the feeling that he couldn't help but think of Maggie, the **** of cats. She is also a high-ranking person, but she has no airs...instead, she is full of humanity.
He knew that Frederick was not being polite.
But too little...
"Ms. Fred Cui, I'm not short of money. I just hope that I can help you with this little thing."
Chen Lun was secretly heartbroken, maintaining a polite smile on the surface, and took out the certificate of 30,000 gold pounds again, plus a total of 50,000 gold pounds, and handed it over.
Fired Cui looked at the two vouchers, showing hesitation.
"The money must have been accumulated by you for a long time... Although I haven't been to a city for hundreds of years, I also know that making money is not easy."
As he spoke, he took the voucher very naturally and handed it to the crystal doll behind him.
【Fei Decui's favorability towards you has increased! Currently being friendly! 】
‘It’s not a loss to exchange 50,000 gold pounds for the favorability of a high-ranking magician...’
Chen Lun comforted himself.
He maintained a smile and noticed that the corner of Frederick's mouth was also brimming with joy.
At the same time, the task of sending the letter also pops up a prompt box of completion—
【Complete the A-level task: the messenger of the love letter! 】
【Task rewards: 100,000 experience points, 100 gold pounds, the favorability of Carmen and Fred Cui, and unknown rewards ("Fred Cui's handmade cigarettes" have been obtained)! 】
【Fei Decui's favorability for you has increased! Currently for close! 】
"You're a nice lad, Jack."
Fired Cui nodded in satisfaction, took out a cigarette again and started smoking.
On the beautiful face, those blue-green eyes showed appreciation.
