Chapter 17 Main Mission

Seeing that it was already late, Ma Yingjie used his last teleportation opportunity today. In a burst of white light, Ma Yingjie returned to the city.

This is the street of Dragon City. There are already many players on it, most of whom are players who have just changed their jobs, which can be seen from their naked state.

Ma Yingjie came to the magician's tower. The complex and profound runes on the walls were filled with incomprehensible meanings.

These things are too difficult for players to understand. As long as the level is high enough, you can learn the skills of that level. These are just decorations in the game.

There were many players who had just reached level 10 waiting for their job change in the job change hall. The long line stretched from the job change master all the way to the square at the entrance of the hall.

"Hi, Great Magician Kerila, I'm back." Ignoring the surprised looks of others, Ma Yingjie walked straight towards the old man Kerila who was sleeping next to him.

"Snapped!"

Kairuila buried her head and continued to sleep. She slapped the table and pointed at a small advertisement in front of the table and said, "You are so unteachable. Transfer to another job. We don't accept customers here."

The advertisement read: "A hidden professional reception desk. No one is allowed to disturb. This great magician practices fire magic, so I have a bad temper. I also practice water magic, so I may have a little yin and yang imbalance. Please do not disturb me."

"I am a hidden profession." Ma Yingjie decided to tease old man Kerila, holding back his laughter, and said seriously.

"Okay, young man, I knew you were no ordinary person the first time I saw you. What career are you going to change to?" When old man Kerila heard what Ma Ying-jeou said, he opened his sleepy eyes, fumbled around in his wizard robe for a while, took out his black-rimmed reading glasses and put them on.

"I'm here to learn level 15 professional skills." Ma Yingjie said to old man Kerila.

"It's you, young man. How come you've reached level 15 so quickly? I said it the first time I saw you. I could tell at first sight that you were no ordinary person and that you have a bright future. Let me tell you what I said." Old man Kerila said shamelessly, opening and closing his mustache.

Damn, you say that to everyone. You didn’t even look at him just now, but you said he is not an ordinary person. Damn it!

"What skills can I learn now?" Ignoring the shameless words of Carilla, Ma Ying-jeou went straight to the point.

"Oh, let me see." Old man Carilla took a yellow-covered booklet and read it carefully.

Could this be the legendary pornographic novel? Seeing the serious look on old man Kerila's face, Ma Yingjie admired him from the bottom of his heart. It turned out that he was old but his heart was young, and he carried treasures with him wherever he went.

"Found it. The skill you can learn now is Bone Dungeon. The tuition fee is one hundred gold coins. I wanted to give you a 20% discount, but I thought about it and decided not to. One hundred gold coins is nothing for you." Carilla squinted her cunning eyes and looked at Ma Ying-jeou.

"Here." Throwing out a hundred golden coins, Ma Yingjie learned the Necromancer's level 15 skill, Bone Dungeon.

Bone Dungeon: Summons a bone hand to restrict the enemy's actions for 20 seconds and consumes 20 MP points.

This is a pretty good immobilization technique. Ma Yingjie nodded with satisfaction. It will be much safer to fight monsters this way.

"Young man, I have something I want to find someone to help me with. Do you have time?" After receiving the money, Carilla acted as if she regarded money as dirt.

"Of course, I'm free every day. May I ask what's the matter?" Hearing that there was a task, Ma Yingjie didn't care about the old man's bad behavior.

"Would you like to hear a story from me?" Carilla retracted his disrespectful image, his expression became solemn, and a little lost. But he obviously didn't want Ma Yingjie to answer, and continued to talk on his own.

"You know about the holy war more than a thousand years ago, right?" Carilla turned her head and looked at Ma Yingjie, obviously wanting him to answer.

"Yes, after a hard war, the light camp defeated the dark camp, and the dark forces retreated to the barren continent north of the Gillasco Desert. However, in the end, the Light Alliance fell apart due to internal conflicts." Ma Yingjie tried hard to recall what was said on the official website and copied it down.

"No, that's just a lie made up by those who wrote history books. There is too much water in the things recorded in the official history. History is just a textbook used to record the power of mankind. The stupid things done by mankind are all covered up by various lies. It can be said that history is a novel written to hide the truth. Its function is to fool future generations." Carilla sighed and took out a scroll from the cabinet behind him.

The scroll should be a product of ancient times. The parchment has turned yellow and the paint on the axis has peeled off. The wood material can be seen. This material is not any wood that Ma Yingjie has ever seen.

"In fact, what did the victory of that war have to do with humans? The main forces were dwarves and elves. The only thing humans did was to provide them with backup resources.

The Undead Army was too powerful. It took three human soldiers to defeat one. The human race only had 30 million old, weak, sick, disabled, children, and women, while the Undead creatures numbered 80 million. Only the powerful dwarf warriors and elven archers were the opponents of the Undead Army, but the number of these two races was too small. Their reproduction speed was far behind the consumption speed, and the Light Camp was increasingly at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for the high priest Finn who sealed the necromancer Raal at the time, causing the dark camp to lose its leader, even if the light camp had twice as many warriors, it would not have been possible to win. "

"Is it the Finland sculpture in the square?" Ma Hao couldn't help but make an excuse.

He glared at Ma Yingjie fiercely, obviously dissatisfied with Ma Yingjie interrupting his thoughts.

"But later, Lar escaped. I haven't had any news from him since then. Recently, I got news that adventurers found his traces in the Land of the Dead." Kerila's tone began to slow down and her eyes began to wander, as if her mind had returned to the battlefield more than a thousand years ago.

"Do you know that Lal?" Judging from Carilla's tone, they should be very familiar with each other, but why one is a dual-element mage of water and fire, and the other is a necromancer, left Ma Hao puzzled.

"He is my second senior brother."

"Ah?" Ma Yingjie felt that his mind was becoming confused. Wasn't Lar sealed a thousand years ago? Could it be that this old guy... was really an old guy? It seemed that his eyesight was still good. The first time he met him, he felt that he should be buried.

Looking at Ma Yingjie's surprised expression, Carilla continued, "How about it, you feel confused, right?"

"Yes." Ma Yingjie nodded. He really couldn't understand the stories of these people.

"It's not a big deal to reach the level of a great mage and live for a thousand years. However, I am dull and cannot reach that level. I'm afraid your time is almost up.

Not only that, Finn is my senior brother, we used to be three very good brothers, but it’s a pity that Senior Brother Lal has fallen.”

Speaking of this, Carilla couldn't stop her tears. When the three of them were little, they practiced magic together and had such a happy life. However, because of the damn holy war, they became sworn enemies.

Every family has its own problems. Who would have thought that something like this would happen to someone like old man Carilla?

"Okay, I'm telling you so much at once, you definitely won't be able to remember it all. You'd better improve your strength as quickly as possible. Once you reach a certain level, go to the Land of the Dead on my behalf, find Lal, give him this scroll, and tell him about the covenant we made a thousand years ago. Do you still remember it?"

System prompt: You have triggered the main quest, looking for Lal, do you accept it?

"accept!"

The main quest, there is only one main quest in Blood Cry, and once a person accepts it, it will not be open to anyone else. Of course, in addition to this, each profession also has its own main quest, but for the one that Lu Hao received, those can only be regarded as some side quests.

System prompt: You have accepted the main task, to find Laer. This task cannot be abandoned and has no time limit.

"Take this scroll. Lal won't hurt you if he sees it." Kerila handed the worn scroll to Lu Hao. Lu Hao quickly took it.

Holding the scroll in his hand, Ma Yingjie felt a strong magical element, which was many times stronger than the magical element that covered the sky and the earth. This showed that the scroll was not junk.

"Okay, leave now. I'm very tired." Without waiting for Ma Yingjie to speak, Carilla turned and walked into the back room. That was an absolute private space. Without the owner's permission, no one could enter the room unless they were bombarded with magic crystals.

Even if we use the magic crystal cannon, we can't get in. That thing can flatten the city wall, so a small room is nothing to it.

Watching Carilla disappear behind the door, Ma Ying-jeou began to carefully observe the scroll in his hand.

[Ancient Oblivion] (Quest item, cannot be discarded or traded.)

Additional: Thousands of years ago, the necromancer Raal was sealed by the high priest Finn. Raal made an ancient covenant and swore never to set foot on human territory again. In consideration of the friendship between the two brothers, Finn secretly released Raal. This ancient annihilation is the proof of Raal's oath.

Note: Ancient annihilation is a covenant made by the God of Creation and Satan. If one breaks the covenant, he will be hunted down by the God of Light and Satan with all their might. It is the most irreversible covenant.

Regardless of other things, level is king.

For the next two days, except for eating and sleeping, Ma Yingjie stayed in the abandoned mine, brushing enhanced skeletons in the mine from the time he went online to the time he went offline.

In reality, in order to make a living, there are endless things like stealing, beating people with clubs, robbing houses, and faking car crashes. In the game, Ma Yingjie also used all his magic, and finally after two days, he reached level 24.

During this period, I learned the Necromancer's level 20 skill Dark Sky from the old man.

Dark Sky: Creates a 50-meter-wide black fog within the target range, blocking the opponent's sight. It has no effect on teammates. The effect lasts for one minute and consumes mp.
