Creating a Different World - Chapter 2680

[Chapter 2680 Relics Mission]

“Cohen, come here!” The next morning, Jia Zhengjin took Meili and Tatanil to the Adventurer’s Guild. The three of them were a fixed team and did missions together every day. Just after arriving here, before he went to the counter to find Molly for the booklet, the guild president Hal suddenly appeared and waved to him.

Jia Zhengjin felt confused and thought, what’s going on? Usually, I often see Hal here, but he doesn’t take the initiative to call me over. He

suddenly called me at this time, there must be something.

Although it feels strange, I don’t know what the other party wants to say to me. Still, I took Meili and Tatanil and followed to the president’s special floor of the Adventurer’s Guild.

When they arrived at the office, President Hal asked the three to sit down opposite each other, with a serious look on his face: “Cohen, there is a large mission here, and we need the assistance of the Holy Spirit Adventure Group!”

“Large mission?” Meili and Tatanil looked at each other next to them, their eyes full of confusion.

Jia Zhengjin squinted at Hal, but didn’t say anything, just waiting.

Hal took out a roll of parchment from the drawer beside him, spread it out carefully, and then pushed it in front of him: “The tide is about to recede, and the entrance to the ruins that appears once every thirty years is finally ready to open again!”

“The entrance to the ruins?” Jia Zhengjin looked confused, “What is that?”

Not to mention him, even the two locals, Meli and Tatanil, were confused.

“You are too young, it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.” Hal said to him, “I’m talking about the border of the Winter Mountains in the north, near the Sea of Autumn Leaves. Hundreds of years ago, it was rumored that a mysterious race settled in the Winter Mountains, unknown to the public. Later, for some unknown reason, the place where this race lived was swallowed by the sea. Thirty years later, someone accidentally broke into the Winter Mountains and happened to encounter low tide, and found the entrance to the ruins on the seabed. It is said that the man picked up an extremely precious magic prop at that time and became famous in one fell swoop! Later, countless adventurers rushed to the Winter Mountains, trying to find the treasure in the ruins. However, for a full thirty years, the tide did not recede. Some people ventured to dive in, but basically they never came back. After countless adventurers died, and then there was information from countless explorers, it was finally known that the tide receded once every thirty years, and there was a chance to see the door to the ruins only in thirty years. So every thirty years, countless adventurers went there to try their luck. However, things were not that simple. No matter how many adventurers went, none of them returned in the end. Gradually, after several thirty years, it became a forbidden area, and no one dared to approach it easily.”

“You want us to go to such a dangerous place?” Meili exclaimed, “Are you kidding?”

“That’s right! You also said that the adventurers there have not returned. It is a dangerous forbidden place. Why do you want us to die?” Tatanil said anxiously, “No, we won’t go!”

Hal ignored them and locked his eyes on Jia Zhengjin.

Jia Zhengjin lowered his head to think, and then met his eyes: “What is the reason for letting us go to the ruins?”

“Intelligence!” Hal said seriously, “After all, the Winter Mountains are not close to us, nor far away. Such a mysterious ruins must be understood, otherwise it may endanger the safety of surrounding cities!”

“If it really endangers the surrounding safety, it is impossible that there will be no movement for hundreds of years, right?” Jia Zhengjin asked.

“No, it is precisely because of these hundreds of years that various strange things that cannot be determined have often occurred, so we have to find out!” Hal replied, “Of course you don’t know, but the Adventurer’s Guild has all kinds of information, many of which are unsolved cases. I suspect that the mysterious race that no one has ever seen has not disappeared, but is still in the ruins!”

“Oh?” Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly, “What is the origin of this mysterious race?”

“It is precisely because we know nothing about them that we want your Holy Spirit Adventure Group to go and find out!” Hal said, “You don’t have to worry. The main reason why adventurers never returned in the past was that their strength was dispersed. Everyone fought on their own with uneven strength and could not unite together. It was also because there has been no adventure group nearby and they cannot gather their strength together. Other adventure groups are in faraway cities and are unwilling to come to such remote areas. So the problem of the ruins has been left until now! Now, the appearance of the Holy Spirit Adventure Group gives me hope. It is also a coincidence that the thirty-year deadline will be in seven days. According to records, the door to the ruins will be opened again and will last for as long as a month! I hope you can gather the strength of the entire adventure group in advance and carry out a large-scale ruins exploration mission to find out the truth for us! It is rumored that there are countless treasures and countless magic equipment in the ruins. Those are your spoils of war. In addition, the city lord has a generous bounty of 5,000 gold coins!”

“Treasure? 5,000 gold coins?!” Meli and Tatanil’s eyes instantly turned into the shape of copper coins. They didn’t care about their image at all and drooled.

Jia Zhengjin had seen a lot, so of course he would not be in their state. He just lowered his head and thought. After a while, he looked up and said to Hal, “President, this is a serious matter! I need to go back and think about it.”

“It should be!” Hal nodded, “But time is tight. Even if you have to consider it, you’d better gather the members back first and ask them what they think. To be honest, if you can successfully enter the ruins and find the treasure inside, and successfully bring back the news, that kind of financial resources can allow the adventure group to develop rapidly and become a larger organization. Even if you expand several times, the financial resources are completely sufficient! It may even become a scale that is not inferior to the capital group. Moreover, if you can really complete the task of exploring the ruins and solve the problem that has lasted for hundreds of years, the reputation of the Holy Spirit Adventure Group will spread all over the world. At that time, more and more powerful adventurers will come here to admire your reputation, which will be of great help to your strength improvement! Most importantly, the names of Captain Cohen and the two deputy captains will also spread throughout the continent!”

Meili and Tatanil were so excited just thinking about that scene that they seemed extremely excited.

Only Jia Zhengjin was not led by President Hal’s words and remained calm.

After all, he has lived for thousands of years. If he is so easily misled, he will not be himself.

“President, I will think about this matter carefully.” Jia Zhengjin said, “If there is nothing else, I will take them both down first!”

“Well! Captain Cohen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must not miss it!” Hal said seriously, “You must think it through, after all, it is a chance for the Holy Spirit Adventure Group to become famous. Think carefully about the countless treasures that may exist in the ruins, and the 5,000 gold coins reward!”

“Got it! Meili, Tatanil, let’s go!”

“Oh!” The two girls hurriedly caught up.
