Chapter 166 Old Man Mo Yun's Mission
Chapter 166 Old Man Mo Yun’s mission
"What, you want to take on this task? No, your strength is not enough, and it will be useless to go. It would be better not to go. I wasted a teleportation stone for nothing!" Hearing Lin Haoyu's initiative to take on that task, Old Man Mo Yun shook his head and refused without thinking. The teleportation stone he has was extremely limited, and the number of teleportation times is too many, which is easy for masters on the Shenxiang Continent to notice, so Old Man Mo Yun attaches great importance to the teleportation stone in his hand and will never waste it easily.
"Sign the contract. If I can't complete the task, I'd rather pay 100,000 gold coins as the cost of purchasing the teleportation stone!" Lin Haoyu said indifferently, but what he said made Old Man Mo Yun feel moved.
"100,000 gold coins, not bad. It's more than enough to buy a teleportation stone. I think even if this teleportation stone is wasted, I can buy a few more. With so much money, it can be made up for it!" Thinking of this, Old Man Mo Yun finally handed over the mission to Lin Haoyu and handed him a teleportation stone.
Of course, the two also signed a contract. Once Lin Haoyu cannot complete the task after using the teleportation stone, he must pay Old Man Mo Yun 100,000 gold coins within one month, otherwise he will be punished. As for the punishment, Old Man Mo Yun has the final say. He can even deprive Lin Haoyu of all his experience points, let him return to level zero, or take away his equipment and items until he can offset the 100,000 gold coins.
After receiving the mission, Lin Haoyu did not use the teleportation stone directly to the Divine Glory Continent, but ran out of Twilight City and left the Mythical World. By the time Lin Haoyu entered again, he was already on the Divine Glory Continent.
For Lin Haoyu, this task is really too simple. He can complete it easily. The only disadvantage is that it is a bit time-consuming, but compared to the rewards of the task, it is definitely a big profit!
What's more, in this mission, Lin Haoyu also obtained a teleportation stone worth about 5,000 gold coins and a priceless one.
With this teleportation stone, Lin Haoyu went to the Demon Abyss next and had an extra layer of life-saving means. Once he encountered danger, as long as he had a chance to breathe, he could use the teleportation stone to return to the Divine Glory Continent.
Of course, the teleportation stone in Lin Haoyu's hand is not positioned at present. Once used, it will be transmitted to a location on the Shenxiang Continent. Due to uncertainty, Lin Haoyu dared not use it at all. Otherwise, it would be a disaster if it was teleported to those remote areas. I don't know how long it will take to come back!
So after returning to the Shenrong Continent, Lin Haoyu's first thing was to lock the coordinates of the teleportation stone in his hand in a quiet valley outside the Holy Light Town.
Afterwards, Lin Haoyu set out to the nearest city.
The city closest to Shengguang Town is called Gravel City. It is a small city with no fame, but the city lord of such a place is the least talkative. Since Lin Haoyu took over the task of Old Man Mo Yun, he can only be wronged. No, specifically, it should be wronged by his wife!
After two hours of traveling, Lin Haoyu took the time to go out, ate some food, practiced, and then he re-entered the mythical world.
By the time Lin Haoyu returned to the mythical world, the carriage he was riding in was approaching the gravel city. Lin Haoyu looked at the city wall in the distance and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. This solid city wall is not only a layer of protection, but also a huge obstacle. Its existence can help people in the city resist the invasion of foreign enemies, make their lives safer, and not easily plundered by foreign enemies, but also limit the development of residents in the city. If all residents in the city want to go out, they must pass through the gates in the middle of the city wall. A considerable part of the daily operation time is wasted on the road, and even the arable land outside the city cannot be taken care of, allowing wild animals to rage, and the harvest is extremely low.
This is also a factor that limits the increase in national strength of the major empires in the Divine Glory Continent. In addition, the residents in the city are not rich enough, which also leads to their inability to devote more energy to the next generation. Naturally, children with the talent of war vocationists cannot receive better care and training, especially in the early stages, they simply cannot access some training methods of war vocationists!
However, Lin Haoyu's first country was not like this. According to his understanding, the residents of the Yuan Qingquan Village who lived there had completely adapted and were full of hope for life. At the same time, they spared no effort in cultivating the next generation, and even willingly spent a huge price. With Lin Haoyu's promise and the upcoming good harvest, they dared to take this risk.
When he walked into the Stone City, Lin Haoyu found a guard casually, asked the location of the city lord's mansion, and rushed there quickly. As for the carriage, he had already returned, so Lin Haoyu didn't need to worry about it. According to Lin Haoyu's estimate, what situation would happen when he completed the task, so he only paid one-way fee when hiring a carriage. Anyway, there are also carriage shops in Stone City. If the task was completed successfully and there was no disturbance, he could hire another carriage back.
Not long after, Lin Haoyu came outside the city lord's mansion, but he was a little worried next, because Lin Haoyu didn't know how the limit of "flirting" was calculated. If he directly showed the identity of the Saint Priest, maybe the city lord's wife wouldn't even dare to hide when she was taking action. Is that considered teasing?
Thinking of this, Lin Haoyu decided to conceal his identity as the Saint Lord, first find a way to approach the city lord's wife, and then take advantage of her inattention and run away. If she is caught up by the guards, she will reveal her identity as the Saint Lord. Lin Haoyu is not afraid of the other party's courage to treat the Saint Lord. At most, he will report it and deduct some of the power of the ruling, which is nothing at all!
After spending a few gold coins, Lin Haoyu got the news from the nearby tavern that the city lord would take his wife away from the city lord's mansion every night and go to other nobles' homes to attend the dance. He looked up and found that the night was about to fall, so Lin Haoyu decided to wait.
It’s a coincidence that the day and night rotation on the Shenrong Continent is somewhat similar to the one near the Diaoyu City in Asia on Earth. Although there are differences, it only takes about two hours, which is quite consistent.
This is more convenient for Lin Haoyu. Just like now, he took a look at the sky on the Shenen Continent and could roughly calculate the time on the earth, and he was not in a hurry to go out. Of course, in addition to this judgment method, there is also the time provided by the system, so it is not an advantage!
Besides, there is an auction tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Haoyu will definitely support him.
Sitting in a shop opposite the city lord's mansion, Lin Haoyu chatted with the shop owner without a word, while quietly observing the movements on the city lord's mansion. When the sun had just set and there was still a trace of afterglow in the sky, the gate of the city lord's mansion suddenly opened. The city lord and his wife, wearing gorgeous robes, walked out slowly under the protection of two teams of guards, stepped onto the luxurious carriage that had been ready to stop. Then the carriage slowly started and drove forward along the road.
The whole scene gave people an extremely comfortable feeling. Even Lin Haoyu was a little envious of this kind of life in an instant, but then he shook his head. The life like the lord of the lord of the Stone City and his wife was definitely not what he pursued!
"Goodbye!" Seeing the carriage gone, Lin Haoyu also stood up and said goodbye, walked out of the shop very casually, leaving the bustling area with bright lights.
But as soon as he was dizzy into the darkness, a light burst out from Lin Haoyu's eyes, and then he suddenly rushed out and ran forward along the road, leaving only a faint figure.
After a while, Lin Haoyu came not far behind the carriage, but due to the strict protection of the two teams of guards, he did not act rashly, but was firmly attached to it, neither approaching nor far away, waiting for the opportunity to start.
Along the way, the two teams of guards protected the carriages tightly. Lin Haoyu could not find any flaws at all, so he could only wait helplessly. Just when he was about to lose patience, the carriage finally stopped. However, this place was obviously not the destination of their trip, but a jewelry store. It seemed that the city lord's wife wanted to choose a jewelry for him before the banquet.
Seeing this, Lin Haoyu couldn't help but lit up, and quickly showed his figure and walked towards the jewelry store with a swagger.
When Lin Haoyu walked past the city lord's mansion guarding the door of the jewelry store, the other party just looked carefully and found that there was nothing unusual, so he let him enter the jewelry store without checking or blocking it.
However, when entering the jewelry store, Lin Haoyu was disappointed to find that the city lord and his wife had already reached the second floor of the jewelry store, and should have been to select high-quality jewelry. At the entrance of the stairs, there were two guards standing, blocking the customers who were trying to climb the stairs.
Lin Haoyu walked forward unwillingly, intending to try whether it was possible to pass. Sure enough, the two guards immediately stopped him.
"Please go there to choose jewelry. You can't go up here for the time being!" The guard was still quite polite when he spoke, but his tone was extremely tough. There was no doubt. Seeing this, Lin Haoyu also understood that it was absolutely impossible for him to sneak into the second floor!
"What should I do?" Lin Haoyu hesitated for a moment and did not use his identity as a Saint Prison, because that might make his mission fail. Since he had signed a contract with Old Man Mo Yun when he was taking over the mission, once he was determined to be a failure in the mission, he could only hand over 100,000 gold coins honestly. It is also a matter of whether he could continue to take over this mission in the future. Lin Haoyu would never dare to gamble!
Just when Lin Haoyu was having a headache, he suddenly found that a chubby businessman was swaying towards the stairs on the second floor, but the guards did not stop him and just nodded to him. It seemed that they should know the businessman, and the other party had a very high status, at least they had the qualifications to choose jewelry with the city lord and his wife.
Seeing this scene, Lin Haoyu's mind couldn't help but become active.
