Daily tasks of mistakenly brushing tasks on the spot

sizzle~

After the two got off, the carriage left.

"Master Bai Ke, it's so quiet here!"

Looking at the deserted streets around her, Lilyluka spoke.

It's just because this street is particularly deserted, and there are only a few pedestrians at a glance. If it were a normal street, it shouldn't be so deserted in the early morning.

"After all, this place is close to an abandoned area, so it's normal that it's deserted."

Bai Ke said this, and then he took the lead and walked forward.

"Master Bai Ke, wait for me."

Lilyluka quickly followed behind.

As the two gradually moved forward, the originally deserted streets around them began to become somewhat dead silent. The gaps between the brick and stone paths were filled with weeds, and some were even dilapidated.

Many of the surrounding buildings were covered with vines, and many were in ruins. Some had collapsed or become ruins, looking extremely desolate and dead.

After arriving here, the two of them officially entered the abandoned area and were one step closer to their target location.

After arriving here, the surrounding environment is really creepy. Combined with the thin morning mist that has not yet dissipated, the atmosphere is indeed a bit scary.

With the cooperation of the two, Lililuka, who was not very timid to begin with, became subconsciously nervous and scared. She followed Bai Ke's footsteps closely, fearing that she would be left behind.

As they walked further and further, Lililuka not only failed to adapt to the surrounding environment, but became more and more nervous and scared. Finally, she subconsciously grabbed the corner of Bai Ke's clothes and begged:

"Master Bai Ke, please do not leave my side."

"I will protect you."

Facing Lily's request behind him, Bai Ke didn't say anything to comfort her, he just said it calmly.

But his words seemed to have magical power, sweeping away most of the negative emotions in Lily's heart and calming her down.

"I believe in Lord Bai Ke."

Lilyluka couldn't help but say.

After that, there was no more words between the two, but Lilyluka, who was originally frightened of her surroundings, was no longer the same as at the beginning.

Before they knew it, an ancient castle appeared in front of them. It was a small castle in classical Western style, with three floors, and was filled with the atmosphere of the passing of time.

There are a lot of ivy on the surface of the castle, and it is obvious that it has not been taken care of for a long time. However, although it looks old, the castle has no obvious damage.

This is the only difference from the dilapidated buildings around it.

The two of them stopped unconsciously and looked at the small castle.

"Master Bai Ke, is this where the Master Fool lives?"

Looking at the castle, Lilyluka asked uncertainly.

"should be."

Bai Ke was a little uncertain, so he said, "But as long as we go up and take a look at the door, we will be able to confirm it then."

After saying this, Bai Ke began to move towards the gate of the castle.

Bump~x3

Stopping in front of the somewhat old wooden door, Bai Ke simply raised his hand and knocked several times in succession to alert the main god who might exist in the castle that a guest had arrived.

Soon, Bai Ke heard footsteps, but his brows were frowned, because apart from the footsteps, there was no other sign of life.

The person who walked in had no breathing sound, no heartbeat sound, and no blood flow sound. He was like a dead object, without any breath of life.

However, the sound of bones rubbing against each other and the sound of footsteps on the floor were telling Bai Ke that someone was coming, and anything that could move was a living thing.

But why do living people not have abilities that all living things possess?

Could it be that this result was caused by some special skills, or magic that hides thunder?

It's not impossible.

In this world, there are many strange skills and magic. It is normal to have a skill or magic with extremely strong hidden power.

Just as Bai Ke was thinking about this, Lily Luka, who was standing by, saw that there was no response after knocking on the door for a long time, so she couldn't help but say:

"Master Bai Ke, maybe we have come to the wrong place? This is just a small abandoned castle."

“We didn’t make a mistake.”

Bai Ke shook his head slightly and continued, "The owner of the castle has arrived."

Hearing this, Lililuka looked at the door, waiting for its owner to open it. She trusted the words of her master Bai Ke to the extreme.

One second…three seconds…five seconds…ten seconds…thirty seconds….

After waiting for nearly a minute, Lililuka finally couldn't wait any longer. She subconsciously looked up at her Lord God, wanting to ask him if he had made a mistake.

crunch~

At this moment, the old wooden door was slowly pushed open from the inside, making a harsh sound, which interrupted the words that Lilyluka wanted to say.

I'm sorry, Lord Bai Ke, Lily, I was so ignorant to doubt your decision.

At this moment, this thought flashed through Lililuka's mind, and then she looked towards the door.

"Ghost... ghost!"

The next second, a piercing sound was heard. It traveled so far that there was even a slight echo, adding a bit of horror to the dead silence here.

The person who made this voice was the dwarf girl Lilyluka, and the reason why she was frightened and screamed was because of a figure in the gate.

At this moment, the two doors were pushed open to form a gap, in which stood a tall figure in a tattered black robe, standing in the darkness, his figure was blurry and unclear.

The open castle gate and the blurry figure in a black robe standing at the door, this scene is very strange no matter how you look at it.

If an ordinary person suddenly saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.

And because of this, Lilyluka was frightened when she suddenly saw this scene, and hid behind Bai Ke to seek a sense of security.

Compared to Lililuka's timidity and fear, Bai Ke's expression was calm. He just looked at the black-robed man in the darkness quietly without any fear at all.

ps: I’m going to sleep first and will revise it tomorrow.

Chapter 135: Commission

In front of Bai Ke's inhuman eyesight, the somewhat blurry appearance of the man in black robe in the darkness came clearly into his eyes and he saw it clearly.

The black robe worn by the man in black robe is somewhat different from the black robes sold on the market. His black robe seems to be made of a large piece of cloth, and is connected in many places. At the same time, the hem is like a girl's dress, dragging directly on the ground.

This black robe seemed to have been worn for a long time and was very worn out. The edges and even the chin that touched the ground had obvious wear and tear from friction.

On his hands, he wore a pair of long, black gloves. The fingers of the gloves were slender and sharp, and with the mysterious patterns on them, at first glance, they looked like black skeleton arms, which was very scary.

As for the face under the hood of the man in black robe, even Bai Ke's inhuman eyesight could not see it clearly. All he could see was pitch black, which was extremely unreasonable.

Obviously, it was because of some special magic item that caused such a special phenomenon, covering the face, so Bai Ke could not see the other person's face.

Such a thought flashed through Bai Ke's mind, and then he looked at the man in black robe and felt that he was somewhat familiar with him, as if he had seen him somewhere.

In the next second, a person's name and information popped up in Bai Ke's mind.

Fells.

A person who lived more than 800 years ago, his title was "Sage". In the past, he had developed the ability of mystery to the limit and researched the "Philosopher's Stone", so he got this title.

The Philosopher's Stone has the miraculous power to grant immortality and rejuvenate people.

Immortality is a privilege that belongs exclusively to the gods. Mortals in this world cannot possibly get their hands on it. This has been an unchanging truth since the birth of the underworld.

Even the longest-lived elves cannot achieve immortality. The most they can do is live longer than humans and other races, but they will still die when the time comes.

But the philosopher's stone breaks this truth and gives people the ability to be something they are not.

(ps: I forgot the introduction of the Philosopher's Stone, so I used the information of the Philosopher's Stone from Baidu. By the way, if anyone knows it, please write it here and I will modify it.)

However, the Philosopher's Stone, which was created by Fels with great effort and countless precious and rare resources by chance, was broken into pieces by his own Lord God as if it was a joke.

The reason is very simple. The Lord God of Fels just wants to see what his expression will be like after the holy object that Fels created with great effort is destroyed.

That's such a ridiculous reason.

But among the gods of fun, it is a matter of course.

For these fun gods who transcend mortals, everything is just for fun. They can do many absurd things for fun.

Dissatisfied with the behavior of his own god, Fels left the clan and began a wandering life. During this period, he regrouped and wanted to research the Philosopher's Stone again.

Unfortunately, the Philosopher's Stone is just one of the miracles that cannot be replicated, and no matter how hard Firth tries, he cannot duplicate it.

In the end, Fels settled for the second best and researched the secret of immortality, which can also make people immortal, similar to the ability of the Philosopher's Stone.

However, this secret method has a huge flaw. Although it can make people immortal, it will turn the flesh and blood body into a skeleton and lose all physical perception.

At the same time, you will not be able to update your ability values, your levels will remain where they are and will not be able to be improved in any way.

This explains why Bai Ke did not sense any life breath from the other party before. It was because the other party was already a dead object without any life breath, so naturally there was no possibility of being sensed.

After using the secret method, Fels began a wandering life that lasted for hundreds of years. He kept wandering around the world, and finally came to Orario, where he was taken in by the guild's main god Uranus and became his personal mercenary, handling some things that could not be exposed.

Various information about Fels emerged one by one in Bai Ke's mind.

Then, Bai Ke remembered that Fels often called himself "fool", and the master's name was "fool". If there was no connection between the two, no one would believe it.

Putting all this information together, the answer is obvious: Fels is the Fool Alchemist that Bai Ke wants to find.

But isn't Fels a mercenary of Uranus?

Why are you here, being an alchemist?

Bai Ke had some doubts in his mind, but then he had the answer himself and figured out the reason for the matter.

money.

These two words are a hurdle that everyone cannot avoid. Everyone loves and hates it, but no one can live without it.

As a person who is at the top of the alchemy field, Fels naturally needs money.

However, for an alchemist of his level, no matter what high-level magic item he refined, money would come rolling in and he would not be short of money at all.

But in your free time, it is reasonable to take alchemy commissions according to your mood to kill time and earn some extra money occasionally.

This also explains why, when I was buying intelligence in the tavern last night, the person said that if I commissioned the Master Fool to perform alchemy, I could only take my chances.

In a short period of time, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Bai Ke's mind.

At this moment, Lililuka was hiding behind Bai Ke, holding onto his clothes tightly, with only half of her head exposed, looking at the man in black robe at the door with some fear.

His behavior seemed very timid and fearful, but in Lilyluka's eyes there was no fear or terror. Instead, there was only vigilance and a panic that was about to dissipate after being hit.

Obviously, Lilyluka was not really scared to the point of losing her composure, or rather, she was not scared from the beginning and everything was just an act.

No matter what, Lilyluka has been struggling to survive in a harsh environment since she was a child. It is impossible for her to be scared to the point of losing her mind by these things.

The reason why Lililuka did this was to cultivate the relationship between herself and Bai Ke. Since she had already planned to attack him, she naturally had to seize any opportunity to narrow the distance between herself and Lord Bai Ke.

In the books she has read over the years, after the hero saves the beauty, the two will fall in love, eventually get married, and live a perfect life.

So Lilyluka came to a conclusion that most men like gentle, delicate and timid girls, like to protect them, and enjoy being admired by girls, which seems to give them a sense of accomplishment.

Therefore, Lililuka decided to play the role of a weak girl when she had nothing to do, so as to bring Lord Bai Ke closer to herself.

As for when something happens, she naturally doesn't plan to do that. Lilyluka knows the importance of things very clearly and knows what she should do and what she should not do.

This is why, after entering the ruins, Lilyluka felt scared. The scene of the castle door opening just now, although sudden and frightened Lilyluka who was not prepared at all, was just like that.

So, after reacting instantly, Lililuka suppressed the urge to draw out the magic sword and shot at the light-absorbing creature that had been trained in the dungeon. She pretended to be frightened and hid behind Bai Ke to seek shelter.

"What do you want?"

At this time, a dry, hoarse, and neutral voice that could not be distinguished as male or female sounded. It was Fels who spoke.

"Hello, are you the Master Fool?"

Bai Ke didn't think any more and spoke to confirm.

"Yes."

Fels nodded in acknowledgement.

“Master Fool, I came here to make an appointment with you for an alchemy opportunity. Is that possible?”
