Headshot Wizard - Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Following the path pointed by the kobold man to the end, Lance came to an empty underground space.

Leaving the originally silent path, the noise suddenly came over.

Lance looked at the surrounding environment a bit, and found that there was a hollowed out mountain in front of him, and he was on a small walkway on the edge of the mountain wall.

Looking around, there are countless exits and entrances around the mountain wall, and walkways and spiral staircases circle back and forth in the belly of the mountain. Many people in cloaks or red robes walked hurriedly along the small roads. Standing from the angle of Lance, they looked like ants.

“Is this the hall of Scarlet Castle?” Lance was a little surprised. Those who appeared in the mission hall were usually apprentices of Scarlet Castle. He made a rough estimate, and only he saw more than four hundred. Most of the ordinary servants don’t have the energy to do these tasks issued by advanced wizards, because the fixed tasks issued to them by the stewards will consume all their energy.

Lance knew that he had to make good use of this month’s time without labor and try to earn as many magic stones as possible.

Although the fox gave corresponding suggestions, Lance faintly felt that something like the curse of the poisonous snake might not be that simple. If amputation can lift the curse, then why did the kobold tell him that no one has managed to escape for so many years?

“Since I have joined the Scarlet Castle by accident, I can only go with the flow now.” Lance is a very adaptable person, he has not considered running away, but if the curse of the poisonous snake can’t be lifted, then even run away. It is also meaningless. What’s more, there are always vultures like Panthas patrolling the sky above Scarlet Castle, and it is not easy to escape.

The only thing he can do now is to find a way to earn enough magic stones to become a self-financed student of Scarlet Castle.

…

Lance walked down the descending spiral staircase while allowing the fox to record the terrain of the Scarlet Castle at any time. This castle is really huge. In Elance’s memory, without the help of the main chip, he would lose his way accidentally.

Fifteen minutes later, he came to the bottom of the mission hall. A stone table and a stone chair were neatly arranged here. Lance observed the movements of other people before choosing a stone table in the corner and sitting down.

Who knew that as soon as he sat down, the chair sitting under his ass screamed sharply: “You damn blood mages! Why don’t you let me rest for a moment?! If you want to take the task, go find another chair. Go! Don’t bother me, Pipsis has had enough!”

Lance was startled, and immediately looked around and found that no one around him heard the sound.

“It’s a turtle! Are you new here? Only you sitting on me can hear my voice. Didn’t your mentor tell you?” said the chair named Pipsis: ” Hey boy, what’s your name?”

Lance was silent for a while, and said in his heart: “My name is Lance.”

“Oh. Lance. Lance…” Pipsis shook restlessly. If Lance hadn’t pressed him tightly, this overly active chair would have jumped up. “Put your nameplate on the upper right corner of the table, and you will be able to view the tasks for the last week.”

Lance took out the nameplate, and just wanted to follow Pipsis’s words, put it in the upper right corner. It’s just that his movements suddenly stopped.

Because he suddenly noticed that the piece in the upper right corner was a brazier, and the brazier was burning with light green flames, exactly the same as the brazier he had seen in the house of the kobold man before. He moved his gaze to the other end subconsciously, and found that there was a small slot there, which seemed to fit into the nameplate.

Lance silently inserted the nameplate into the slot.

“Damn blood mage! No one is easily deceived! Pipsis has no sense of accomplishment at all!” The talking chair chattered endlessly.

Lance ignored him, just suppressed it with strength.

Runes suddenly appeared on the empty table. Those runes floated in the air, and a waterfall-like translucent curtain fell down.

The pale yellow curtain seems to be made of parchment paper and looks very soft. The tasks were brushed down like flowing water and appeared in front of Lance’s eyes.

On the left are the missions issued by the senior wizards within the Scarlet Castle organization; on the right are the missions issued by all the neutral wizards in the wizard mall. Lance found that with the authority of his current servant, he could only accept a small part of the mission. Many high-level tasks indicate that they require advanced apprentices and can only be borrowed by public-funded students, and the rewards for those tasks are often very generous. Of course, high returns must be accompanied by high risks.

For example, one of the missions was issued by a second-level wizard named Yawood. The requirement of the mission was to collect a Heart of Frost Winter, and the reward was an extremely rich 30 magic stones!

Lance checked the specific instructions of the mission and found that the Heart of Frostwinter is a strange ore, one of the main materials for making the second-order demonized item, the ice gargoyle. This kind of ore usually only appears below the twelfth floor of the underground mine attached to Crimson Castle, and the probability is very rare. According to the above tips, the Houshan Mine of Scarlet Castle is not a safe place, there will be various monsters infested.

“Generally, levels above seven are safer, but only ordinary ores can be collected; levels seven to twelve are dangerous areas where a large number of monsters will appear, including ghosts, zombies, and other evil creatures. It is suggested that it is better to find a few more people to team up; as for the twelfth floor, there are many dangers, there will be various magical casters, and even some high-level wizards in the castle dare not easily get involved.”

Lance’s face gradually turned a little ugly. He finally understood why those high-level wizards wanted to offer a price to buy instead of collecting them himself. This is basically to let the wizard apprentice take risks for them, as long as one or two lucky apprentices find what they want alive, they can buy it.

Thirty magic stones seem to be expensive, but behind them are the lives of countless apprentice wizards.

Thinking of this, Lance couldn’t help but feel a chill behind him.

He checked the other missions and found that the missions released by Scarlet Castle Wizards were very dangerous. Many missions were hung there for more than a month and no one dared to take them. It proved that most wizard apprentices are still very rational. .

Lance needs magic stones very much, but he must carefully consider and evaluate if he takes risks for the magic stones.

“One month, a hundred magic stones…it’s a bit difficult.” Lance took a deep breath, and turned his attention to the free mission of the Wizarding Store.

The free missions of the wizard mall are roughly the same as those released by the senior wizards of Scarlet Castle, and most of them are missions for collecting materials. It’s just that these materials are rarer and rarer, and they usually need to be found in the perilous wild in Ferendor.

Lance calmed down, and suddenly remembered something:

“The wizard apprentice on Rainbow Island that I killed before seemed to be for the petrified heart in my hand. For these petrified hearts, he did not hesitate to run from the inner region to the outer region for these petrified hearts. Could it be that someone issued a related mission? ?”

Thinking of this, Lance immediately wrote the word “petrified heart” in a blank area on the pale yellow curtain.

A faint light flashed, and several required tasks were listed.

At the top of these tasks, a title written in bold font is particularly conspicuous, and the rest of the task titles are ordinary black, but this one is bold blood red with a faint blood glow. Behind the title, there is still a big “urgent” word.

The name of the task publisher is Regis. According to the information provided by Scarlet Castle, this is a prestigious master of pharmacy in the Wizarding Market.

The task compensation is: Negotiable. No less than fifty magic stones.

“Sure enough, it seems that I am going to the Wizard’s Store.” Lance made up his mind and stood up.

At this moment, a striking message suddenly flashed across the faint light curtain.

In the next second, the entire mission hall was boiling!

“It’s been three years, has the Puppet City mission released again!!?” Someone in the distance exclaimed.
