I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 824 - 509: Will You Sell Your Ring?_2

“Light Street is located in the westernmost part of Cui Feng City, where the residents live in difficult conditions.”

“In a sense, it is also the slum of Cui Feng City.”

Lis nodded slightly, slums are common in cities.

Not to mention Cui Feng City, even the most prosperous Bright City in Feis Kingdom has slums.

“Recently, residents have been disappearing from Light Street from time to time.”

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

Jim said in a serious tone:

“At first, only beggars were disappearing, and no one noticed anything wrong.”

“But seven days ago the City Guards received a report, and discovered that residents from Light Street were missing, and the number is constantly increasing.”

“So, is there something special about this?”

Lis frowned slightly and asked Jim.

He remembered that when he was picking up the commission tasks from Mercenary Guild for White Dove Chamber of Commerce, he indeed found quite a few search missions.

However, the rewards for those commissions were not high, incomparable to the wartime commissions in the Gorden Kingdom, so he didn’t pay attention.

Thinking back now, those search commissions were indeed numerous.

This situation… gave Lis a familiar feeling.

“After the City Guards searched to no avail, since the lord of Cui Feng City was not present, they sought help from the Earth Church and Mercenary Guild.”

“Priests and Paladins from the Earth Church intervened and found something amiss.”

“In a basement on Light Street, they discovered traces of a Life Sacrifice…”

Tch!

Lis looked at Jim in front of him, feeling a headache.

Not again, these Evil God believers are really restless!

But it’s normal, if Evil God believers didn’t stir things up during wartime, they wouldn’t be Evil God believers.

Lis rubbed his forehead with his right hand and asked Jim:

“Did you find out which Evil God the believers were worshipping?”

In such matters, he couldn’t just ignore it.

Not to mention he plans to establish White Dove Mercenary Corps in Cui Feng City to recruit players, and needs a stable base, Cui Feng City is the most suitable area.

Besides, the special identities of [World Guardian] and [World Tree Favored] granted him great power and strength, while also requiring him to fulfill certain responsibilities.

Although there were no strict requirements, Lis was also quite willing to eliminate those Evil God believers.

After all, they generally come with substantial rewards.

So it should be resolved quickly, there’s still a lot to do.

Lis made up his mind.

“Not sure…”

Jim said awkwardly.

“When the Earth Church people found the place, it had already been abandoned, only traces of a sacrifice were found, happening about a week ago.”

“Are there any other clues after that?”

Lis continued to ask, the confrontation between the Earth Church and Evil God believers had been going on for a long time, the Earth Church members were experts.

“None.”

Jim shook his head and said with a bitter smile:

“There were no other clues, but the disappearance of residents in Light Street hasn’t stopped, and the number is increasing.”

“Even though the Earth Church has deployed many people in Light Street, the situation has not improved.”

“I see…”

Lis found it odd, the Earth Church members unable to find those Evil God believers was a bit exaggerated.

Evil God believers are often like rats hiding in the dark, discovering them is indeed quite difficult.

But, despite the intensive search by the Earth Church, the Evil God believers continued their actions, which was quite outrageous.

Although Lis wasn’t familiar with the plot and side quests involving Cui Feng City at this time in his previous life, he knew that Cui Feng City had safely passed through the war.

This means the Evil God believers’ plan either failed or had minimal impact.

There’s still some time, solving these Evil God believers and gaining a reward should be no problem.

“So you came to me for this commission?”

Lis asked Jim.

“Yes.”

Jim nodded solemnly and said:

“This situation has already been reported to Prince Gerard at the frontline, he will send people to help, and also asked the Mercenary Guild to issue missions for assistance.”

“The first person I thought of was you.”

“Didn’t you want to take on high-reward missions for your Mercenary Group, and particularly mentioned not worrying about danger?”

“Given Prince Gerard’s attention, the reward for this mission is the highest.”

Jim said, he had his concerns.

Although Lis stated not to worry about danger, if his newly recruited mercenaries suffer heavy casualties…

So, Jim wanted to inform Lis first, any problems later wouldn’t be related to the Mercenary Guild.

After all, the impression left by Lis the first time they met was quite “deep”.

“Alright, I got it.”

Lis didn’t mind, it was just a commission, except this task was somewhat special, involving Evil God believers.

As for the danger…

Just kidding, the players’ greatest advantage is not fearing death!

As long as there’s enough reward!

After confirming the commission, Lis walked downstairs.

As he was about to return to the small table previously, he saw two people standing nearby.

A blackish player, named “Hei Malou”.

A player? Not surprised at all!

Lis had seen enough of these in his previous life, though he himself kept a respectful distance from these affairs.

The person beside this player wasn’t a player, but an ordinary person.

However, Lis found him somewhat familiar…

Seeing Lis approaching, Hei Malou dragged Blair over.

Blair looked a bit helpless; he was negotiating prices with a merchant at the market when Hei Malou rushed towards him.

Then tightly held onto his clothes and asked him to come to a place, almost kneeling.

Having traveled together for some time and saved his life once, although a bit speechless, Blair stopped the negotiation and followed Hei Malou to the Mercenary Guild.

As he was waiting, he saw a figure coming down from the second floor, and Hei Malou dragged him over.

“Lord Lis!”

Hei Malou excitedly held Blair like a precious treasure and rushed to Lis.

Lis felt strange, preparing to speak, he saw a new notification on the system panel.

—————

Ding~

[Player [Hei Malou] submitted a mission to you!]

[Reward Mission 8: [Find Merchant Blair]

Mission Requirement: Blair (1/1)]

[Will you settle the reward?]

[ (Yes / No) ]

—————

(•’╻’•)꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ

Wow!

A player actually completed a reward mission he issued?!

Lucky!

Lis looked at the refreshed information on the system panel in surprise, and shifted his gaze to Blair.

Indeed, he could vaguely see the shadow of that old man…

Lis casually settled the mission reward for Hei Malou, ignoring his excitement, then said to Blair:

“Nice to meet you, Blair.”

“If possible, could you sell me the ring on your hand?”

Lis pointed to the brass ring on Blair’s hand and smiled.
