Headshot Wizard - Chapter 50

Chapter 50-Puppet City

Lance was stunned for a moment, his eyes staying on the information that had just been refreshed.

[Puppet City (A-Level Mission)]: According to the prediction of the high-level wizard of the castle, the puppet city inside the Dragon Canyon in the northern part of Ferendor will be opened soon. All apprentices (including servants) are allowed to enter the puppet city to complete the mission.

[Type I task: Get the magic doll in the hands of Princess Shiro. Remuneration: permanent public-sponsored student qualification + a bottle of magic burning potion (servant); designated tutor guidance + 12 first-level spells for free learning + 60 resource points + a bottle of magic burning potion (students at public expense)]

【Type C quest: Collect unique plants, potions, magical creatures, and fragments of magical items in the puppet city. Remuneration: According to the price list in the attachment. 】

[K task: draw a map, come out of the puppet city alive, draw a map of where you go. Remuneration: It depends on the completeness of the map, starting with five magic stones. 】

[Time: Expected in half a month. 】

[Hint 1: The Puppet City is an extremely dangerous place. So far, the wizards of Ferendor have not explored the Puppet City very well, and only cover about one percent of the area. Every time the puppet city is opened, only wizard apprentices can enter due to arcane interference, but the monsters and puppets inside have a very strong concept of territory and fighting ability. Statistics show that the last time Ferendor had 2,700 apprentices entering Puppet City, only 300 apprentices survived. 】

[Reminder 2: Public-sponsored students participating in the mission of the Puppet City can receive a bottle of sweet blood potion before leaving; self-sponsored students can get a bottle of shimmer potion; servants can receive a bottle of secondary sweet blood potion]

[Currently this task has been received: 29 people have received it]

…

Lance took a deep breath, and he clearly saw that the number showing how many of the quests received was beating frantically. He had just read the task, and 29 people received it. But in just a few seconds, this number has surpassed the 100 mark!

Of course he knows why this task is so hot!

The Puppet City mission is actually a large mission. Scarlet Castle has issued a unique mission (Type I mission), a collection mission (Type C mission) and a map-drawing mission for it. The most fascinating thing is naturally the type I task. After reading the task description, Lance knew that the so-called type I meant uniqueness.

In other words, at most only one person can complete this task.

“Princess Hero’s magic doll?” Lance thought to himself. From the task description, it is not difficult to see that Puppet City is a very dangerous place, otherwise the wizard apprentices who entered it last time would not have survived so tragically. Chances are up. I am afraid it is not so easy to get this magic doll.

But the reward for the task is indeed very attractive!

For servants like Lance, as long as they find a magic doll, they will be eligible for permanent public-funded students! This means that you can get rid of your servant status in one fell swoop and become an official member of Scarlet Castle.

According to Lance’s speculation, most of the first batch of people who chose to receive the task should be servants who have been tortured for a long time. They were squeezed by the Scarlet Castle all day long, and this time they finally had a chance to struggle, and they must be grasped. As for why they reacted so quickly, Lance guessed that there should be other more flexible ways to accept tasks in the castle for senior servants or students to choose.

On the contrary, those formal apprentices should not be so anxious. They have a great future. Unless they encounter some major bottlenecks, they can’t break through in any case. They can only choose to fight to the death. The rest of the people should consider whether it is worthwhile to use their little lives to find the way for the seniors.

Lance did not expect to be able to grab the so-called magic doll from many people with higher mana than himself. He was concerned about the other two tasks. The task of drawing a map is the easiest for Reims. Others may be distracted by the dangerous environment of Puppet City and fail to record the map in detail, but Lance has the main chip, this is not a problem.

The most important thing is that collection task. He looked at the price list and found that the high-ranking officials of the castle had given a very high purchase price for the special materials produced in Puppet City.

“No wonder the last time the Puppet City was opened, so many people flocked to it.” Lance smiled bitterly and looked at the price list, thinking in his heart: “For the core of the puppet knight, the castle high-levels offered a purchase price of up to forty magic stones. ! Other things, such as fragments of enchanted items, unique magic materials, etc., are also very expensive.”

The prices of these items gave Lance an illusion whether the magic stone suddenly depreciated.

Browsing the staggering purchase price, Lance faintly felt the sinister intentions of the senior management of Scarlet Castle. While reminding the servants and students of the dangers of the Puppet City, they used a high purchase price to stimulate the wizard apprentices to enter the Puppet City and work for them. Most servants can’t refuse such temptation at all.

Because it was almost the only chance of freedom in their dark life, they had to go desperately.

…

Lance was silent for a while, and resolutely chose to accept the task. Like other servants, he has no choice.

He even felt that he was lucky. He had just become a servant of Scarlet Castle, and the mission of Puppet City appeared. Otherwise, it would be almost a fantasy to earn a hundred magic stones in this month.

He didn’t even think about magic puppets. There would definitely be countless people going crazy about such a thing. With Lance’s current low and poor magic power, to grab treasures with those high-level apprentices who are two or three times his magic power, it must be death.

He was going to enter the puppet city, first searching for some magic materials based on the price on the price list, and avoiding the fight as much as possible. As long as he can gather enough materials, he can also obtain many magic stones, and may be able to get rid of the curse of the poisonous snake.

But before that, he must be fully prepared.

“Is there still half a month left.”

The moment Lance took over this task, the brazier with green flames beside him suddenly flickered, and a bottle of pale pink potion emerged from the void flames.

Lance accepted this bottle of secondary sweet blood potion. He knows that this kind of potion can treat minor injuries, but the treatment of internal injuries and hemorrhage is far inferior to the authentic blood sweetening potion, and it is not as good as the shimmer potion.

It’s better than no incentives.

He cleaned up, got up and left the mission hall.

With the nameplate in his hand, Lance has become a part of Scarlet Castle, and basically can pass through most areas of the castle unimpeded. He looked for it and found that he could not find an exit to leave the castle.

In desperation, he could only ask a red-robed wizard who looked good at hand.

The other party’s answer was also very simple: “New here? A magic stone.”

Lance was silent for a while, then smiled: “Forget it.”

After that, he turned and walked away.

The man sneered: “Okay, stingy guy. Follow the third walkway on the left and walk to the end, then turn right. You can find a downward step. Go down and you will find a place called Yongye Platform. There, there will be a bone train going to the Wizard’s Market every hour. Remember to wait on platform eight, the rest are very dangerous. This is the only way to leave the castle. People are not allowed to stay around the castle. Otherwise you will be arrested and become a servant.”

“Boy, you should thank me, most people are not interested in telling you so much.”

After listening to the other party, a wry smile flashed in Lance’s heart. It turned out that the wizards of Scarlet Castle took what train to get in and out of the castle. Without knowing it, it was unlucky to be arrested as a servant.

He stretched out his right hand and said sincerely: “Thank you, my name is Lance.”

“Carl. Shuykal.” The man shook hands with Lance and introduced himself: “Elementary apprentice, ready to advance to the blood mage, a public student under Haneri’s tutor.”

“And you?”

Lance let go and shrugged: “I’m one of the unlucky ghosts in your mouth who were just caught in and turned into a servant because they were just staying around the castle.”

His eyes widened as I repaired Carlton.
