"What mission? Tell me about it!"
"You agreed?"
Not knowing Amy's ability, the other party obviously didn't expect Amy to agree so easily. He looked at her in silence, and the words he wanted to say died in his womb.
"No, I'm just listening and will decide whether to agree or not based on your answer!"
Of course, Amy wouldn't agree to anything so easily. She always has to listen to and consider the tasks first!
"Okay, I think so. Well... I can't tell you the specific mission, but I can give you a rough idea of the mission objectives!"
Black Rose, not knowing what expression to put on, smiled faintly and also told Amy the purpose of their trip in a straightforward manner:
"We plan to go to the Tianzhui Mountains, the border between the demons and humans outside Baimu City... to slay the dragon!"
The last two words were so light, but she spoke them out as if she had exhausted all her strength. However, the words she said undoubtedly made Amy freeze in her tracks:
"Tu...Tu...Tu what?"
The wind was so strong that she obviously didn't hear clearly. The other party seemed to be saying...
"Slay the dragon, this is the main goal of this mission!"
However, Black Rose's solemn words ruthlessly interrupted Amy's thoughts. After a moment of silence... Amy turned and left.
"Sorry, I didn't expect you to be such a big shot. Sorry to bother you!"
Slaying a dragon is a great feat that even a brave man dare not say he can accomplish. No matter in any form of knight novels or legends, dragons are extremely powerful beings. Of course, this is even more so in this world where dragons really exist. Needless to say, even the youngest dragon that has just been born is above level 30.
Not only that, in addition to their levels, dragons are born with the ability to use powerful dragon language magic, are completely immune to magic of their own system, and are even resistant to magic of other systems. The thickness of their dragon scales can also defend against any sword attack. It is no exaggeration to say that they are truly invulnerable to swords and guns!
And it was this kind of dragon that she wanted to slaughter? Amy just felt that suicide would be quicker!
"Wait...wait wait, little sister, listen to what your sister has to say!"
Amy chose to refuse without hesitation. Although she was out for fun and was not uninterested in dragons, she at least knew her own weight. Even with the Ruby Wand and the Heart of the Rising Sun, Amy had not yet recovered her memory, and her use of these two magic wands was only in the initial stage of control, and this was under the condition that the two magic wands must work together.
Plus, she's blind... If she goes to slay a dragon in this situation, she doesn't want to become the dragon's dinner!
"No need to say, I refuse!"
She rejected the other party's idea without hesitation, but it was obvious that Black Rose didn't want to give up on Amy. For no other reason than the unusual situation around her, she immediately chased after her and walked out. It wasn't until the next second after the two of them left the tavern that the air, which had seemed suppressed by something, began to circulate again. Even the surrounding mercenaries, sweating profusely, began to take deep breaths...
"What was that just now?"
"Hey, hey, hey, could it really be that little girl?"
"No, I don't think so. Don't forget that there was someone here just now!"
"Black Rose, it's that woman Black Rose!"
"Yeah, since Black Rose is here, that guy might also be..."
"No wonder..."
The mercenaries, who were obviously having misunderstandings, started discussing one after another. However, these were obviously not a big deal to Amy. Since she could not accept the mission for the time being, Amy naturally planned to go back. At worst, she would just wait and bring Xiaotang to help her choose the mission. However, just after she walked a few steps out of the door, Amy felt a figure following her not far behind.
"I'm still a child. Do you really have the heart to let me go on such a dangerous mission?"
Without even turning around, Amy said these words. As soon as she finished speaking, Black Rose behind her hurriedly explained:
"About this... maybe I didn't explain it clearly just now, that... you misunderstood. We are not going to kill dragons... Of course, I mean... not pure-blooded dragons!"
"Not a pure-blooded dragon?"
Pausing slightly, Amy turned her head and looked at the other person in confusion. This time, Black Rose said without hesitation:
"That's right. It's not a real dragon, but a maze created by the infection of dragon bones. The master of the maze is the dragon we intend to defeat, which is actually a kind of monster. We call that maze..."
"Dragon Domain!"
41. Participate in the task
It's not really dragon slaying, at most it's a strategy game related to dragons... After Black Rose's explanation, Amy understood what he meant.
The Dragon Domain is a forest cave located not far from the border between humans and demons, and of course not far from Baimu City. It is like a small forbidden area. It was originally named because a giant dragon died there. Because it was infected by the dragon's blood, it grew a plant that can strengthen the physique and enhance the magic power: the main ingredient of the dragon blood flower. And perhaps because of the dragon's blood, the monsters and other creatures that grow in that forest are more wild and ferocious, and once caused considerable trouble to the surrounding towns.
Later, when an unknown evil spirit appeared on the continent, infecting the earth and forming mazes, this place naturally became a rather special maze... Originally, this maze was only inhabited by monsters with 'dragon' attributes, but suddenly some time ago, it was detected that the master of the maze had mutated... Although it was not a real dragon, it was obviously a huge threat.
Of course, Black Rose didn't invite Amy with the intention of getting rid of harm for the people. What she really wanted was the resources in the Dragon Domain Maze. After all, Dragon Blood Flowers have always been in short supply. If they can collect them, even if they give up the harvest of the Maze Master, it is obviously not a big loss for them.
"So... that's the basic situation. Do you have any comments?"
Of course, Amy couldn't just agree to the other party so easily, but it must be said that the news brought by Black Rose obviously aroused her interest. After all, if it really was a dragon, Amy would naturally not dare to confront it head-on, but as for conquering the maze... then there would obviously be no problem. What's more, she is still a hero (apprentice) now, and she just needs to upgrade by conquering the maze. This is obviously a good thing for Amy to kill two birds with one stone!
"Is that so... Dragon Territory?"
Around a table, several girls were chatting while eating. Both Xia Lu and Xiao Tang looked a little listless, clearly lacking energy. Amy, unable to see, chose to ignore them and instead looked at Xueli and Ai Xue on the other side. Rather than discussing, it was more like asking them to let her go. After all...
"Little Amy, do you want to go alone?"
We have talked about the hero's relics before, and it is obvious that Xiaotang and others are planning to go there. Not only that, this time all members are going out. After all, although the matter of the hero's relics has not been spread in all directions yet, it has already attracted the attention of various large and small forces in Baimu City. In this case, no one can miss it no matter what. Ai Xue and Xiaotang are needless to say, as for Xueli and Xia Lu, they are going to act as the "backstage"!
"If we really get the hero's relic, I think those adventurers, alien races, or even demons will definitely not give up. At that time, I will directly mobilize the Baimu City garrison in my capacity as a princess to protect the safety of the hero's relic!"
This is what Xueli said. Although Baimu City is now called the City of Chaos, at least on the surface it is still the territory of the Perrich Empire. Under the current situation, Xueli and Xia Lu's identities are obviously still very useful... Speaking of this, Xueli was actually somewhat fortunate that she broke Xia Lu's nonsense and came here this time. Otherwise, she would probably miss out on this brave relic. And if she accidentally gave it to the demon clan... that would be really bad!
And precisely because of this, if Amy really intended to go to Dragon Territory, she would obviously have to go alone, which was something Ai Xue would obviously not agree to. However, before she could refuse without even thinking, Xue Li's words suddenly rang in her ears:
"I think... yes!"
"Shirley!"
Ai Xue turned around and glared at her with some dissatisfaction, but Xue Li smiled slightly in return.
"Don't worry too much about Amy. After all, she defeated all the contestants along the way fairly and squarely. With her own strength, she was recognized by all the heroes and became the new hero. Besides, as a hero, training and fighting are undoubtedly things she can't avoid... Xue'er, you should understand this better than me!"
Because she was predicted to be a hero since she was a child, Ai Xue has been tempered bit by bit since she was a child. It can be said that no one has ever spoiled her or loved her since she was a child. She can only rely on herself for everything. Therefore, for Ai Xue, she naturally understands what Xue Li said, and at this time, supporting her sister is obviously more important than refusing.
But... although she understood, her worry for her sister clearly made Ai Xue hesitate. After a long while, she tentatively said:
"How about...let Jack follow?"
She meant to let Xiaotang follow Amy while she would go alone. However, as soon as she said that, Xueli just shook her head slightly.
"Xiaotang is the one who brought us together regarding the maze. Without her, we wouldn't have any access to this kind of stuff. Therefore, Xiaotang is indispensable!"
The implication was obvious. Xiaotang could only follow them to the maze where the hero's relics were. Otherwise, they would not be able to enter the maze at all. And the people who came to find Xiaotang before would not reveal information about the maze to some strangers.
"..."
Knowing this clearly in her heart, Ai Xue immediately fell into silence. After a long while, as if clinging to a last glimmer of hope, she looked at Amy and asked:
"Can't you just wait until we come out? I'll go with you after my sister comes out!"
Letting her sister be alone outside to deal with the mercenaries who came out of Baimu City was obviously not what Ai Xue wanted to see. If this was the way to spoil Amy, then she would rather spoil her like this forever. After all, she only had this sister. Although she had only been with her for a year, in Ai Xue's heart, she was undoubtedly the only person who had accompanied her in the past eighteen years of her life!
"This...may not work!"
Amy could naturally hear her sister's concern for her. If possible, she would certainly not refuse her sister's request. However, unfortunately, it was not her who discovered the Dragon Domain, and she was not the one leading the team. In fact, Amy was just one of the many helpers that Black Rose was looking for... and at present, the helper had not even been confirmed.
42. Negotiation Success
Black Rose didn't know Amy, and it was precisely because of this relationship that she chose Amy as her helper simply because of the skills she had shown in the mercenary tavern before. It was obvious that Black Rose had found not just one but many strong people like her. However, this did not mean that she would bring all of them with her. After all, if there were too many people, there would be more things to worry about. Not to mention that the Dragon Domain Maze itself was not big, if there were too many people... it would be hard to divide them!
Therefore, obviously only a few of these people will be taken to carry out this mission, and the reward for the mission is all the gains of the Lord of the Maze in the Dragon Realm as mentioned before. Black Rose and others are focusing on the dragon blood flowers and other herbs and precious minerals in the maze, which is the main purpose of this maze expedition.
If Amy wants to stand out from these people and participate in this "dragon slaying" mission, she will undoubtedly need to pass some tests first... that is, to demonstrate her strength and show that she is qualified to participate in this dangerous crusade.
"Black Rose said we'll be leaving in about seven days, and during those seven days she's already used her mercenary authority to get me three B-level missions. As long as I can complete them within seven days, I can participate in this mission!"
The opening time of the Hero's Relics is currently undecided, but from Xiaotang's previous contact, it is not difficult to know that it is about a week away. If you think about it, the strategy time of the two mazes is so close. I think this is probably the time chosen by Black Rose on purpose. After all, if everyone's attention is attracted by the Hero's Relics, then no one will pay attention to what's happening in the Dragon Domain Maze!
After all, no one wants to work hard to conquer a maze and then end up being used as a tool for others!
"This... is... too dangerous!"
Dragons and the like, even if they are not real dragons, are obviously very dangerous. It is obvious that Ai Xue is still hesitating at this time. Amy has no choice but to use her ultimate move!
"Please, sister~~~"
A pitiful expression instantly emerged, but unfortunately Amy couldn't express it with her eyes, so she could only try her best to make her tone and facial expressions more rich. As expected, after this move, Ai Xue's face instantly became ugly... Of course, this was not because she was angry or something, but she was shaking as if she was trying to hold back something, and she even reached out and grabbed her other wrist. After being silent for a while, there was no other reaction.
"Hold it back?"
Seeing that her sister didn't respond for a long time, Amy suddenly had such a sentence in her mind. However, this situation was also expected, so it didn't bother her at all!
The next second, Amy stood up from her seat, groped her way to her sister, and then shrank into her arms... That's right, this is called temptation from a younger sister, and it is very effective for those who love their sister!
"Please~~Sister~~"
The pitiful expression appeared right in front of Ai Xue, and for a moment, Ai Xue raised her head and subconsciously wanted to avoid it. However, her palms also instinctively hugged the soft body in front of her in her arms. After holding on for about three minutes...
"No, I can't take it anymore!"
This meaning was clearly expressed in her eyes, and then Amy used a three-pronged attack of acting cute, acting coquettish, and seducing Ai Xue like a younger sister. Ai Xue instantly fell for her and couldn't get up!
"Woo woo~~ I agree, I agree, okay, woo~ so soft, so soft~~~"
He held his sister in his arms and was filled with joy. Then, without hesitation, he agreed to Amy's request... It was obvious that he had to agree to such a lovely sister's request, no matter what it was. Otherwise, where was justice?!
At this moment, this was the only thought in Ai Xue's mind!
"It's done!"
Amy smiled in her heart. She was very familiar with her own sister!
"I see, is there such a trick?"
While watching the interaction between the two sisters, Xueli on the other side showed a thoughtful expression at this time, and the look she gave Ai Xue had some...slight changes for some reason!
That look... seems like he's planning something!
In the end, since even the most difficult Ai Xue reluctantly agreed to Amy's request, the matter was settled. Of course, before this, both Amy and Xiao Tang, who was quite familiar with Baimu City, also put forward their opinions one after another:
"It's fine to agree, but Amy, you have to promise me that if you're in danger, don't worry about anything else and run away immediately, okay? Don't let me know you're injured, otherwise...I won't be able to help but lock you up and never let you out again!"
The smiling words were thought to be a joke, but just when Amy, who also thought so, wanted to smile at her sister, she suddenly saw the black lines floating out of her body. She shuddered immediately, and the whole person became quiet in an instant, and nodded honestly.
"Yeah, I remember!"
"very good!"
The above is one of Ai Xue's conditions. The reason why it is one of them is that she obviously has other requirements... or perhaps it is her last struggle:
"Little Amy, you said you accepted three missions, right? Then go and do them. You are not allowed to ask for help, you can only go if you have completed them. If you haven't completed them... then it means you haven't achieved the strength to stand on your own!"
Originally, Amy was planning to come back and find Xiaotang to complete the mission together, but since this was Amy's next commission, then naturally she would need to complete it alone. This could be considered a test for her sister before she became independent... This is what Ai Xue said.
"no problem!"
Amy naturally agreed to this, and by the river came Xiaotang's warning:
"I've heard of Black Rose before. Her character isn't a big problem, and she seems to have some connections with the Mercenary Guild. You should be able to trust her a little. As for the others... you better be careful. In Baimu City... trust is always poisonous!"
This was a warning to Amy to be careful of being deceived. However, they did not know Amy's true talent and were obviously a little worried. After all, in front of her emotional line, if others wanted to deceive her... they had to deceive her inner subconscious first!
"Don't worry, I'm measured!"
In fact, talent is not something that cannot be talked about, but after all, she has already demonstrated the talent of a "magical girl". If she talks about this ability at this time, it will inevitably cause trouble, so Amy did not say it immediately.
43. Additional troubles of the task
With the plan in place, Amy began her mission. Although there were three B-level missions, they were not as difficult as she had imagined. It was just that the races in Baimu City were different and mixed, so there might be some unexpected troubles compared to other cities.
For example, now, Amy's first task is to go to the Mifeng Forest outside the city to find a hundred plants of Miyanthea and the crystal cores of two second-level fire monsters, and then go back to hand in the task. Although she can't see, it is obviously not a big problem for Amy to find things with Ruby's secret guidance. What's more, not to mention the monsters, the Miyanthea itself is also a kind of magical alchemy medicine, so it also contains magic power, so it is not difficult for Amy to find it.
Look, it took her less than an hour to find the herbs she wanted, and then she easily dealt with the two fire-type monsters. Originally, Amy only needed to return to the Mercenary Guild to hand in the task and it would be completed. However, on the way back, Amy was stopped by someone... No, it should not be said that it was a person, it should be said... a demon!
"Hey~~ Look what I found? A fresh and cute little human girl!"
"What are you talking about? Just take him away!"
After such a conversation, the two of them rushed towards Amy without any nonsense, trying to capture her. Of course, Amy would not allow them to do so. The moment they rushed over, she suddenly squatted down, and as the two of them passed over her, she suddenly stood up and punched one of the demons in the next second.
"Bang~~~"
Amy didn't know what the demon looked like, but from the touch of her fist, she clearly touched a substance similar to scales. She didn't know whether it was the opponent's armor or scales on the body. In short, under Amy's ruthless little fist, the demon flew out with a scream.
"what?"
At the same time, another demon also discovered this, and immediately gave up the idea of treating Amy as a lamb. Without thinking, he pulled out a hook-like weapon from his back, and directly hooked it towards the back of Amy's neck while passing over her.
