Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s promise, the Princess nodded her head in satisfaction. She said to Lu Yuan, “Very good, I did not misjudge you.”
[The Princess has issued a hidden mission to you — assist the Royal Family to kill the apostle. ]
[Mission Rewards]: 2,500 EXP, 200 gold coins, 50 reputation points, Amber Kiss
[Amber Kiss]
[Description]: A kiss of blessing presented by Princess Alice. The recipient will receive a 10% increase in MP, magic resistance, attack speed, strength, recovery speed, and defense!
[Mission Failure]: Princess Alice’s favorability towards the player will be reduced by 150 points. The effect of the Princess’ Token will be reduced!
[Mission Duration]: Unlimited
“Wow, the Amber Kiss can enhance all attributes!” Lu Yuan was shocked. He did not expect the Princess’ Amber Kiss to be so useful.
Lu Yuan glanced at Princess Alice. Her skin was as white as snow, and she had long golden hair, with eyes as blue as amber. No wonder she was the Princess, she was more beautiful than all the other NPCs Lu Yuan had seen before.
“It would be good if I could have a few more Amber Kisses. It wouldn’t matter even if there weren’t any rewards,” Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Then, Lu Yuan immediately accepted the mission. Either way, Lu Yuan had originally planned to join the battle to get a piece of the benefits anyway. It was an unexpected pleasant surprise to have received a hidden mission issued by the Princess that fit his plans. As such, Lu Yuan accepted the Princess’mission without hesitation.
“I will go and explain this matter to Father right now. Young warrior, you may leave!” The Princess waved her hand and said.
Lu Yuan immediately left the Princess’ bedroom.
Following this, the Princess and her guards went to the City Lord’s Mansion where the City Lord lived.
After Lu Yuan left the Princess’ mansion, he met up with Solaka and Rogge again.
“Kid, you did well! With the help of the Royal Family, we will definitely be able to kill the demon’s apostle!” Rogge laughed loudly.
“The demon’s apostle won’t be killed so easily. We should be fully prepared,” Solaka touched his chin and said slowly.
“Hmm, that makes sense,” Rogge’s expression turned solemn.
Hernas was a demon who could become one of the twelve calamities. His apostle wouldn’t be easy to kill.
“That’s right. First, we need to find out why the apostle is at the Frost Worship Ground. Clearly, there’s something there that is allowing him to nurture his power,” Lu Yuan said to Solaka and Rogge. He had a hunch that these two guys must know something.
Rogge and Solaka looked at each other. Then, Solaka said with a serious expression, “The Frost Worship Grounds the Heart of Frost. I think the apostle of Hernas must be planning to absorb the power of the Heart of Frost.”
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)“Yes. If he is allowed the time to absorb the Heart of Frost, no one in Amber City will be his match. In addition with those monsters that have been corroded by frost, Amber City will not be able to withstand his attack at all!” Rogge said with a serious expression.
“Hmm? Heart of Frost? So that’s what the apostle used to gain enough power to destroy Amber City,” Lu Yuan was enlightened.
“Then we must stop him from absorbing the Heart of Frost. However, our strength alone is not enough to defeat the apostle. We’ll have to wait for the Royal Family of Amber City to take action!” Lu Yuan concluded. Indeed, it would be difficult for just the three of them to even get close to the apostle, let alone stop him.
“Yes, so we still have to wait for news from the Royal Family,” Solaka agreed.
“Kid, please help me find the three sunstones,” Solaka said to Lu Yuan.
“Oh right, kid, help me get some underground lava. I want to create a magic array,” Rogge said to Lu Yuan as well.
[Solaka has issued a hidden mission to you — find sunstones]
[Mission Rewards]: 1,000 EXP, 10 reputation points, 20 gold coins, one bottle of purple-grade speed potion
[Purple-grade Speed Potion]
[Description]: Increases the user’s speed by 200% and dodge rate by 100% for 180 seconds!
[Mission Failure]: Reputation points -8, Solaka’s favorability -200.
[Mission Duration]: 3 hours.
[Rogge has issued a hidden mission to you — obtain underground lava]
[Mission Rewards]: 1,000 EXP, 10 reputation points, 20 gold coins. acquire skill — Flame Spear!
[Flame Spear] (level up not allowed)
[Effect]: Summons underground lava to form a flame spear, deals 500 fixed damage to a single target. Cooldown time: 200 seconds, MP consumption: 120!
[Description]: The mage Rogge had coincidentally obtained this spell. It was created by a powerful mysterious mage. The Flame Spear can instantly kill the opponent, but, one must pay attention to the timing of its release!
[Mission Failure]: Rogge’s favorability -100, reputation points -15!
[Mission Duration]: Three hours.
“F*ck! I’m going to be rich! Rich!” Lu Yuan was extremely excited. Their missions didn’t seem hard, yet the rewards were generous. Lu Yuan had been wanting to get a single-target killing skill, and now it was at his doorstep.
“If I can learn this skill, wouldn’t it make it more convenient for me to get a piece of the cake during the fight against the apostle later?” Lu Yuan was secretly delighted.
“The purple-grade potion is also something good!” Lu Yuan thought to himself. Previously, to his utmost surprise, he had been discovered by the apostle even though he was under the state of Shadow Following. Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise, he would have died directly on the Frost Worship Grounds. Thinking about it now, Lu Yuan still had lingering fear!
If he had this purple-grade speed potion, his chances of survival would be higher.
Lu Yuan immediately accepted the two missions. Lu Yuan remembered that the sunstone and the underground lava were at the place where he went looking for the fire spirit herb, near the Cave of Fire not far south of Amber City.
Lu Yuan immediately set off for the Cave of Fire.
Soon, Lu Yuan arrived at the outer area of the Cave of Fire. He immediately activated Shadow Following and entered the inner area of the cave. He did this because the outer area of the Cave of Fire was guarded by level 20 fire porcupines. Though Lu Yuan could solo a level 20 fire porcupine with his current strength, if a few more came, he would lose his life here.
[Fire Porcupine] (elite)
[Level]: 20
[HP]: 4,000
[Skill]: Fierce flame collision, flame spike, lava spiral, flame devour
[Description]: The fire porcupines usually live in caves with extremely high temperatures. They like lava caves. They can store underground lava in the spikes on their backs!
Lu Yuan used Shadow Following to carefully bypass the guarding fire porcupines. Fortunately, the monsters here were as smart as the ones he encountered in the Frost Worships Ground.. Therefore, it didn’t take long for Lu Yuan to sneak into the depths of the Cave of Fire.
