Chapter 916 Continuous Mission 2 Steps

Bai Pu's words were very skillfully spoken.

The transition from gladiator to legion soldier is not a significant class advancement.

But the prerequisite is "joining the Dmitri family".

The Dmitri family is a prestigious family in the capital, one of the most prominent noble families in the empire! Even a low-ranking guard from the Dmitri family would have to be a captain in the Imperial Legion, commanding a group of soldiers.

More importantly, this allowed them to curry favor with the Dmitri family.

Just look at how attentive Karamango is to Gallius, and you'll know how powerful that guy is.

However, Karamango valued Bai Pu, his cash cow, very much.

It's unclear whether Gallius's authority can persuade the miserly Karamango to give up on Bai Pu... Bai Pu is actually pessimistic about this.

But if the "demanding exorbitant prices but settling for lower prices" approach doesn't work, there's always a compromise.

The key is to trigger the second phase of the continuous mission for me.

Mrs. Mizuki indeed showed a troubled expression.

“Dio, my relationship with my husband Gallius… may not be as harmonious as you imagine. He comes from a minor noble family and only married me for the sake of the Dmitri family’s background. Now that he has achieved success and holds a high position, he no longer values ​​me as much as he did when we were newlyweds.”

"He wouldn't make such a drastic move just for my little hobby, snatching the most promising gladiator from a gladiator owner to join the Legion."

—Of course I know that you and Gallius don't get along.

—If the couple were truly inseparable, you wouldn't have thrown the necklace he gave you into the support box; and his reaction to this was indeed a bit too indifferent…

Bai Pu silently considered the above thoughts and casually said, "If I don't join the legion, but only the Dmitri family's guard... you should be able to make that decision, right?"

Mrs. Reishi hesitated for a moment: "The Dmitri family guards are always trained from childhood and they don't recruit people of dubious origin from outside. On the other hand, the 'Dark Guard' unit is responsible for external reconnaissance and secret operations, and they recruit talent without being bound by convention. The premise is... you can prove your abilities."

coming!

Bai Pu's heart stirred, and he said with a smile, "Value determines status. I just need an opportunity."

Lady Reishi nodded: "Dio, this is the Black Algae Mountains. Before the Lost Continent rose from the seabed, this was the Spine of Demons, inhabited by a branch of the Corrupted Scale Naga."

“I’ve always been interested in Naga culture. Once you find the Naga’s lair, bring back all the Naga books you can find. They might help us decipher the cryptic bottle.”

At this point, Bai Pu finally received the next stage of his mission.

[Two-Step Quest: Search]

[Mission Objective: Obtain books about Naga culture and further search for clues about the Secret Bottle.]

[Task Difficulty: Unknown]

[During the mission: None]

[Quest Reward: Become a member of the Dmitri Family's Bodyguard; your reputation with the Dmitri Family rises to Revered (equivalent to your reputation level in the Crimson Blood Arena).]

[Failure penalty: none]

Bai Pu decisively accepted: "I will bring back the Naga's books... if these monsters have them."

Lady Reishi said earnestly, "Don't underestimate the Naga. They are not low-intelligence monsters, but a highly civilized race, no less advanced than the Empire and the Barbarians." Perhaps because Bai Pu was willing to accept the mission, Lady Reishi's favorability towards him visibly increased.

"Don't forget, once you find the Naga's books, come to my mansion in Tefra. That's your proof of identity."

Mrs. Reshi handed a silver coin engraved with an iris to Bai Pu.

As it was handed over, Bai Pu felt a nimble finger gently hook his palm.

It vividly illustrates what "seduction" means.

Bai Pu glanced at Mrs. Ruishi's "oscilloscope band" before looking away. Mrs. Ruishi noticed, straightened her chest, making her already majestic peaks appear even more imposing.

Soon, Mrs. Reese's guards escorted her away.

……

"We've also received the second phase of the mission... Lord Steelheart, you really know how to deal with female natives!"

Bart, who had been worried about Bai Pu's safety, couldn't help but wink.

Bai Pu shook his head and said, "This Lady Reish is not simple... According to what she confessed, she deliberately arranged this meeting. Perhaps she was already watching us when we killed Naga General Worash in the Grand Arena."

Looking back, Lady Rish did not give any reward at first. It was only after General Vorash of the Naga died at the hands of Bai Pu that Lady Rish gave her a necklace worth 10,000 silver coins.

Rather than attributing it to Bai Pu's charm, it's more accurate to say that she was genuinely interested in Naga culture!

"What should we do next? To obtain the books on Naga culture, we'll have to go to the Naga's stronghold, right?"

Bart said, "How about we pretend to be prisoners, and have this Naga traitor under your command act as our escort, and go to the lair of the Rotscale Naga?"

Bai Pu shook his head and said, "The secret that I control Korxasis will be discovered by the leader-level Naga."

Now that the Heart of Evolution talent has obtained the third layer of divine runes, some hidden priorities have also been slightly increased.

For example, when Bai Pu relinquishes control over pureblood servants, the servants who would have died directly before can now survive and transform into some kind of mutated monster—here referring to the mutated sand crab.

For example, Bai Pu uses pure blood to control his servants. This master-servant relationship would normally be seen through by experts of the same basic priority, but now it requires a slightly higher basic priority to see through it.

In other words, the leaders of the ascended planes will see through it—the leader's priority is 9, while Bai Pu's is 8.

Bart scratched his head: "I remember Kosasith said that in his branch of the Rotscale Naga, both of the leader-level Naga were conscripted and led their elite forces to assemble? In other words, the Rotscale Naga's stronghold in this branch is empty. This is very promising."

"How about this, let's split up."

Bai Pu still had concerns, but he couldn't say them out loud.

He arranged for Bart's team to disperse and infiltrate Tefra and New Iron City, and then set up temporary personal stations along the way to transmit important intelligence.

Unfortunately, the first-tier items for ascending to a higher plane are unusable.

What was once a simple long-distance communication problem that could be solved with an old walkie-talkie now requires multiple Awakened Ones to act as relay stations, relaying the message from one station to another.

Using Major General Gaia as a human relay station is rather extravagant. Some people even showed their dissatisfaction on their faces.

Bai Pu didn't care about anything else and said in a serious tone, "Bart, if Major General Gaia in your team neglects his duties and causes delays in intelligence transmission, I will kick you out of this mission chain immediately."
