"Hmph, very good." Bai Rong lowered his voice and asked the black-haired old man beside him, "Old Liang, who is this kid?"
"According to his appearance and the long spear on his back, he should be Water Rites Town's Dongbo Xue Ying." The black-haired old man lowered his voice and said, "He should be 22 years old this year. When he was 15 years old, he single-handedly destroyed the Bent Blade Union. Since he dared to accept this mission, he should be a Silver Moon Knight."
"22 years old?"
Bai Rong became even more unhappy.
He was already over 50 years old, and now he had met a 22 years old Silver Moon Knight. Naturally, he would be unhappy.
"Hmph." Bai Rong coldly snorted at Dongbo Xue Ying and sat down beside him. The black-haired old man also sat down beside him.
"Since the five experts are all here." The red-robed old man looked at the five people in front of him – Bai Rong, the black-haired old man, the white-haired old man Tang Xiong, Dongbo Xue Ying and the green-robed female mage Jing Qiu.
"My name is Yuan Wu, the Lord of Azure River County's Dragon Mountain Manor." The red-robed old man smiled and said, "I believe most of you have heard of my name. However, today is the first time I have met Mage Jing Qiu and Dongbo Xue Ying."
Jing Qiu and Dongbo Xue Ying both laughed.
"Lord Yuan, just tell us the mission." Bai Rong said casually.
"No rush."
The red-robed old man's voice suddenly became cold, "Before we accept the mission, I need to tell you the most basic rules!"
"First, everything related to the mission, including the information of your companions, must not be leaked! If this information is leaked, it may lead to the retaliation of your companions. This is something our Dragon Mountain Manor will never allow! Whoever deliberately leaked this information will be found out. Hmph, no one will be able to save you. "
"Second, this is the most difficult Black Iron mission. No one can guarantee your safety. Your lives will be in danger, and if you die, you can't blame others."
"I'll tell you these two rules in advance. If you can't accept them, you can leave now!"
The red-robed old man's gaze swept across the five people in front of him.
Dongbo Xue Ying and the others did not stand up and leave.
"Tower Master Yuan, we all know the rules," the white-haired, muscular old man Tang Xiong said with a smile.
"Hmph, there's no such thing as absolute safety when you go out and risk your life. If you're afraid, it's better to return early." Bai Rong glanced at Dongbo Xue Ying. He instinctively felt hostile towards this brat. In front of the 'Mage Jing Qiu' that he was pursuing, he instinctively wanted to suppress all other men. On the other hand, his guards and Tang Xiong were all old men. They posed no threat to him!
However, this Dongbo Xue Ying was too young, which made him unhappy.
"Very good."
The red-robed bald old man nodded. "Since you all understand the danger of death, and you all know the rules of confidentiality, then why don't you do it? Then, I'll explain the details of the mission first. "
Dongbo Xue Ying, Jing Qiu and the rest, including Bai Rong, pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
Being careless during a mission could cost you your life.
"The objective of this mission is the castle of the Lu Clan, the number one clan in our Azure River County's Qu Tai City. Destroy the entire castle and kill the patriarch of the Lu Clan, Lu Huai Ru." The red robed bald old man said.
"Lu Huai Ru? A Meteor Mage? It's said that the Lu Clan has three to four Meteor Knights. But with such little strength, why would the five of us need to work together? Not to mention the danger of death? "Bai Rong asked suspiciously.
The red-robed Pavilion Master solemnly said, "Lu Huai Ru is also an expert in alchemy. The entire castle must be filled with many dangers, and the most important thing is … … this is actually a branch of a Demon God in our Azure River County!"
"What!"
Dongbo Xue Ying, Jing Qiu, Bai Rong, Tang Xiong and the black-haired old man Liang Yong's expressions changed greatly.
Demon God?
In the entire empire, only the 'Temple of the Earth God' was orthodox. The others were all Demon Gods! Even the founding emperor of Dragon Mountain Empire did not establish a temple to spread his faith.
But at the same time — —
Any Demon God that dared to meddle in this world was extremely terrifying. No one dared to lower their guard.
"Anything related to the Demonic God or Demon God must be treated with caution. This is just a branch of a certain Demonic God or Demon God in our Azure River County. Moreover, there are only a few Meteor Realm experts here, so the threat level is relatively low. That's why I sent the five of you over." Pavilion Master Yuan Wu said, "Since you are already aware of the mission, if you are not willing to go now, you can only stay in the Dragon Mountain Manor for the time being."
"Any objections?" Pavilion Master Yuan Wu looked at the five people in front of him.
"Is there a Silver Moon ranker in the Lu Clan's castle? Is there a Legend ranker? "Jing Qiu asked.
"Not yet!" Pavilion Master Yuan Wu said, "There is a possibility that there is a hidden power, but it is unlikely that there is a Legend ranker! The power of a Legend ranker is very rare, so it would not be wasted on a branch. "
"Those Demon Gods are just hiding in the dark." Bai Rong said to Jing Qiu, "It is impossible to be so extravagant as to arrange a Legend ranker for every county."
"If there is no problem, then we will set off now!" Pavilion Master Yuan Wu said, "Our Dragon Mountain Manor will send a flying boat to send you there."
Bai Rong hurriedly said, "Jing Qiu, this time it is more dangerous. You are a mage, so it is better for you to follow us closely. We will protect you."
Jing Qiu frowned.
Deep down in her heart, she hated this Bai Rong who kept chasing after her. However, her clan was located in the Azure River County, so she did not want to have a bad relationship with the Si Clan.
Xue Ying was already walking out with the weapon box on his back. Jing Qiu was also following behind him.
"You don't even have a good storage treasure, and you are still carrying a weapon box." Bai Rong snorted.
*****
Within Qu Tai City, on a piece of open land, there was a majestic castle. It occupied an area of more than three li, and was even bigger than Dongbo Xue Ying's Snowrock Castle.
This was the Lu Clan's castle.
The castle was divided into an outer castle and an inner castle.
The inner castle was octagonal in shape, as if there was a strange monster lying on the ground. This inner castle was personally designed by Lu Huai Ru, and it was filled with many traps and arrays. The closer one got to the bottom of the castle, the more dangerous it would be.
"Divine Envoy, are you satisfied with the few maids I have prepared?" Lu Huai Ru asked.
Half-lying on the ground was a monstrous, muscular man.
This man's body was incomparably sturdy, and his waist was as thick as a water tank. His height was about 2.5 meters, and his arms were thicker than a normal person's thighs. His beard was as hard as steel needles, and his eyes were slightly drooping. Occasionally, when he opened his eyes, a terrifying pressure could be felt. His breathing even caused the surrounding air to tremble, and the maids beside him were trembling with fear.
"Just so-so." The monster-like man said indifferently. "Why? Why do I feel that you are afraid of me?"
"Divine Envoy's strength is monstrous, I am only afraid of you." Lu Huai Ru said.
"Don't worry, I am only resting here for a period of time. I have just escaped from the Infernal Realm, and I have almost forgotten about the pleasures of the human world! Alright, bring some beautiful girls over. It would be best if you can get some powerful female mages. Ordinary people are really tasteless. "The monster-like man smacked his lips, and picked up a piece of meat beside him, eating it in big bites.
"Yes, yes, yes. Divine Envoy, please rest assured. I will quickly find some female mages to offer to you." Lu Huai Ru said.
"Go, go, don't be an eyesore." The monster-like man said casually.
