There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street. Judging from the looks of passers-by, their living standards are not in embarrassment.
In front of some buildings, small groups of men and women gathered together, talking about the corruption and incompetence of officials of the Serra Empire. A group of patrolling militiamen happened to pass by. After hearing this, not only did they not scold them, but a drunken militiaman even joined them.
, speaking loudly with a mouth full of alcohol.
Su Xiao had experienced the level of corruption in the Serra Empire before in prison. As the overlord of the Eastern Continent, the Serra Empire's power system was corrupt to such an extent that it had not yet been overthrown, so it must be different.
The Serra Empire is not only suffering from internal corruption, the Northern Alliance located on the northern continent is also at war with the Serra Empire all year round.
The war between the two behemoths was certainly not easy for the other small countries on the two continents. Since the conflict broke out between the two countries 107 years ago, the naval battle between the two sides lasted for at least 70 years. After that, the Serra Empire could not withstand the pressure from the front line and retreated to the land.
, Fortunately, the land army of the Serra Empire was strong enough to push back the Northern Alliance.
Su Xiao looked at the medal in his hand. With this thing, he could be granted an official position in the Serra Empire. As for how much power he would have, Su Xiao had no expectations.
Su Xiao checked the task list and a prompt appeared.
[Hunter has accepted dual main quests.]
[Because Death Paradise’s ‘space-time hub device’ located in this world is extremely secretive, resulting in limited intelligence, the main mission 1 will be released in the form of a guide, and hunters need to find clues on their own according to the mission guide. 】
[Tip: Main mission 1 has seven links in total, and the first three links are less risky.]
[Main Mission: Being in a High Position (First Ring)]
Difficulty level:Lv.48
Mission information: Hunters need to go to the Holy Palace to obtain canonization, and within 10 natural days, obtain the official rank of captain or above.
Task period: 10 days.
Mission reward: 1 real attribute point.
Mission punishment: forced execution.
…
[Main mission 2: Purge (only one link, this is the final link)]
Mission introduction: Clean up the unnumbered contractor Xi.
Mission deadline: before leaving this world.
Task rewards: Determined based on task completion.
Mission punishment: forced execution.
…
Su Xiao ignored the main mission 1 for the time being, because this mission had seven rings. Just checking the mission content, he seemed to be able to see a large group of old men.
As for the main mission 2, this seems simple and crude, but in fact it is not. The mission rewards will be based on the completion of the mission, which is very interesting.
According to Su Xiao's speculation, the reward for killing Xi is constant, but whether the existence behind her can be found out is the key, and it is also the bulk of the mission reward.
There was plenty of time for Main Mission 2, and Su Xiao didn't know much about the situation in this world, so he continued to study Main Mission 1.
To put it simply, main task 1 is to let Su Xiao get an official position in the Serra Empire, and then find a way to get in touch with the senior officials of the Serra Empire.
As for the purpose, it is to find the time and space hub device of Death Paradise in this world, so as to enjoy the cake (Apocalypse Paradise) all by itself.
What really matters is where the 'space-time hub device' is. Since it is a destructible device, it must be protected, such as setting up a barrier, or sealing it in a dangerous place, or directly handing it over to the world.
safekeeping of the big shots.
For example, if the 'space-time hub device' is disguised as a sacrificial item, a big shot holding the 'space-time hub device' can obtain items that do not exist in this world by sacrificing resources in this world.
In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone. The big man will use his own power to protect the 'space-time hub device', collect resources, and 'sacrifice' them to Death Paradise. At that time, Death Paradise will only need to give out some resources that are not available in this world.
Small profits.
You must know that there is no fair transaction without signing a contract with the park, and the park will maximize profits in accordance with the regulations.
Of course, disguising the 'space-time hub device' as a sacrificial object is just Su Xiao's guess. From a safety perspective, letting a big shot keep the 'space-time hub device' is much more reliable than placing it in a dangerous situation.
It is even more difficult to be discovered, after all, everyone will do their best to protect their own interests.
According to this idea, the task process in Su Xiao's mind gradually became clear. First, he had to contact the leaders of the Serra Empire to determine whether the 'space-time hub device' was in the Serra Empire.
If it is not in Serra, there are not many remaining locations, and the Northern Alliance or the Abyss are weaker than the forces of these three parties, which may cause the 'space-time hub device' to be lost in the inheritance.
When Su Xiao met the female contractor/employee Sevi, the ultimate goal of the other party's main mission was to obtain the first-class medal of the Serra Empire, thereby helping Su Xiao, who had just arrived in the abyss world, gain status.
Su Xiao sat on the stone steps on the street and completed the tasks step by step. It was obviously not his style. What's more, the main task 1 had seven steps. It was too troublesome to complete each step. He didn't even need to look at the subsequent tasks.
As you can guess, the first few steps are nothing more than climbing up the power system of the Serra Empire.
Su Xiao's breath completely subsided, and a gold coin appeared in his hand. He seemed to be tossing the gold coin in his hand unintentionally, but in fact he was sensing the gazes of the people around him.
The looks cast by passers-by are different, including doubts, envy, well-intentioned concerns, and the last one is greed.
Sensing the last gaze, Su Xiao stood up and walked into a narrow alley, seemingly unprepared.
A man with a lazy expression and less than thirty years old glanced at Su Xiao with his peripheral vision, and naturally followed Su Xiao into the narrow alley.
Across the street, a young man who was at most fifteen years old and had just sprouted a beard saw this scene. This not only made his heart beat faster, he was also a little nervous, a little scared, and a little excited. After hesitating for a few seconds,
, he picked up a wooden stick and prepared to be a righteous partner for once.
A heavy feeling suddenly appeared on the boy's shoulders. The boy was startled and immediately wanted to wave away.
"You bastard, are you going to use this thing to seek justice? The stone at your feet is more reliable than this thing."
Baha's unscrupulous voice reached the young man's ears. At the same time, in the narrow alley where Su Xiao was.
"Well, well, that's right, the captain must at least..."
The lazy-looking man from before was sitting on a wooden box, rubbing a few gold coins in his hands. The crisp sound made him feel happy.
"So, the commander-in-chief is an official position in the military, the title is hereditary, and the permanent officials of the empire pass assessment and bribery."
As Su Xiao spoke, she threw a gold coin to the lazy man.
"Yes, that's right. Unlike the Anu border in your hometown, brother, Arans, as the holy capital of the empire, is full of opportunities, gold, and women. This is a good place, and the prostitutes are more beautiful."
The lazy man got some gold coins in a hurry, and the smile on his face became more flattering.
"Your name is..."
"Hyena, sir, you can call me this, if there is nothing else..."
The eyes of the lazy man who called himself a hyena flashed with excitement. Su Xiao pointed to the entrance of the narrow alley. Seeing this, the hyena nodded and bowed back. It seemed to be respectful, but in fact he didn't want to turn his back to Su Xiao. Although he was just a ruffian, but this
There is still some kind of IQ.
This kind of ruffian is not even worth getting rid of. In other words, this is also the insurance set up by Su Xiao. Once he becomes hostile to the senior officials of the Serra Empire, the ruffian named Hyena will not be able to escape. At that time, he will provide
Give your opponent wrong information.
Through the conversation with the hyena, Su Xiao learned a lot of information. The power system of the Serra Empire can be divided into three parts, the army, hereditary titles, and permanent officials.
If Su Xiao obtains an official position with the first-class medal in his hand, then he will be an official of the imperial army. There are two ways to climb up, either to fight on the front line or to bribe high-ranking imperial officials.
Resident officials, on the other hand, are selected and canonized after assessment. They have a lifelong tenure. Of course, relationships can also be established through gold pounds.
The hereditary title is the most special and difficult to confer.
It's great to be a military officer and climb up the ladder step by step, but that's too slow.
"Adrian Alver, the old Duke on the sickbed, this is a good choice."
Su Xiao muttered in his mouth, of course he would not climb up step by step, that would be too slow. He planned to start as a duke, and above the duke position, he would be the king of the Serra Empire, or should be called the Saint King.
Since the founding of the Serra Empire, there has been an iron law hidden in the darkness but that cannot be broken. That is, only saints are qualified to become kings. Serra is an empire ruled by saints.
