Exclusive Bounty Mission

Passage Talisman?

The small sign faintly emitted a warm light as if it contained infinite magic. Michael couldn't recognize what material it was made of.

Michael's name and the symbol of Mage Team Z were printed on the pale white pass. This meant that Michael and the team members could use this to enter Derek Academy's database at any time.

"Thank you for giving me such an expensive travel talisman. I will definitely repay you for your kindness."

The weight of this passage talisman was a very valuable gift in the entire Tyre continent, let alone Derek Academy.

Only a few people were qualified to enter the database. Basically, only a few high-level mages could enter and read the wisdom of hundreds of generations on the entire Tyre continent.

Currently, there were only two ways to obtain a pass. One was to rely on one's ability to stand out from the competition made of top high-level mages before one could get the official permission of Derek Academy and obtain the official pass. That was how Mr. Jones obtained his.

The other way was to obtain the favor of a few senior book spirits in the database, which could also obtain a pass. However there were tens of millions of book spirits in the database, but less than a few dozen book spirits qualified to provide passes. No one knew exactly which book spirit had such qualifications.

If one wanted to obtain the book spirit's pass, the prerequisite was to have the right to go to the database alone. The few people in Derek Academy who had access talismans almost never lent them out. If he obtained the passage talisman, he would not need to get the book spirit passage talisman anymore. There was once an apprentice with low talent who was unwilling to follow a high-level mage to the database forever. He decided to spend time obtaining the Book Spirit Passage Talisman.

Once, when he came to the database, he did not leave with his mentor on time. Instead, he quietly hid in the depths of the database. After the high-level mage who brought him here left, he quietly ran out and looked for the book spirit who was qualified to issue the passage talisman. It was said that he had searched the database for decades. Some people said that he got lost there and became a ghost.

There were also people who said that after he became a ghost, he did not realize that he was already dead and was still persistently looking for a book spirit qualified to use the passage talisman.

In short, no one had ever seen that apprentice again, and no one knew why he was so persistent in having his own access talisman to avoid high-level mages. Over time, this story became one of the infamous ghost stories constantly told in Derek College.

It was said that the soul of the apprentice was still wandering in the database, searching for it relentlessly. If he went to the database, he might have a chance to meet this senior again.

Since then, Derek Academy has strengthened its control over the database. No one thought of obtaining a passage talisman by looking for a book spirit.

"You're too polite." Mr. Royce also saw this pass. He tried to touch it, and the pass actually split into two. A new pass appeared in his hand.

"It's too troublesome to give you all access talismans individually." The book spirit stretched lazily. "Take this pass back and let all your team members touch it. The corresponding number of passes will be generated."

Was he going to give each of them a pass?!

Mr. Royce was so touched that he was incoherent. He said that he would never forget the great kindness of the book spirit and that if he needed any alchemy materials, he could just ask. He and Michael would definitely go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire to satisfy the book spirit's request.

The foxtail grass alchemy book spirit yawned, looking a little sleepy. It had been in this database for hundreds of years, and most of the time, it was in a deep sleep.

To the spirit, the access talisman was just an ordinary item. It could not understand why so many people valued the access talisman and rushed over to find it.

After all, it was just an innocent child and had been in the higher-ups' database for many years. It was surrounded by book spirits like it. The book spirit still couldn't quite understand people's desire for power. It could only simply regard their passion for alchemy and charms as their desire for knowledge itself.

After a long time, the book spirit also became interested in alchemy, but no one took the initiative to give him alchemy materials. After all, there were too many things in the database. The book spirit could only appear in front of humans and interact with them when the magic elves found him. It couldn't remember how long it had been since someone came to look for it.

It did not expect someone to come to play and even give it alchemy materials. The book spirit had once vaguely heard a ghost in the database mention that when humans accepted favors, they had to return the favor.

What should it give in return? The book spirit was also a little puzzled. It didn't have anything good on it. It suddenly remembered that the ghost had once nagged about some pass. Perhaps the passage talisman was very important to mages. Thinking of this, it gave the passage talisman away.

At Castle Z.

After Michael and Mr. Royce obtained what they needed and copied some information about spiritual plants and spiritual pets, they hurriedly set up their magic brooms and flew in the direction of the castle.

As soon as the broom landed on the open space in the middle of the castle, he saw a familiar figure standing there. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw Michael land, he excitedly rushed over with something in his hand. It was York from the publicity department.

Ever since Michael rejected York's reward last time, York's evaluation of him got even better. He wrote many articles about Michael and Mage Team Z in the newspapers.

Not long ago, a special bounty mission was suddenly published in the newspaper. The newspaper specially invited the Z Mage team to do the mission with a large sum of money. The content was to drive out the magical beasts in a certain village.

Although exclusive bounty missions did not necessarily have a lot of rewards, they symbolized the recognition of mages on the continent of Tyre. If the mage could complete the mission perfectly, he could also use this opportunity to make a name for himself on the continent.

On the other hand, exorcising a magical beast was a straightforward task, not to mention that Z's Mage team had just tamed a demon wolf not long ago. As long as Michael brought the wolf with him, he would be able to get rid of this simple magical beast very quickly.

Therefore, as soon as he saw the mission newspaper, York quickly brought it to Castle Z to claim credit from Michael. After all, this was Mage Team Z's first exclusive mission, and many people in the publicity department were eyeing the first publicity rights for this mission. He couldn't give up this great opportunity to others.

Michael took the newspaper and read it for a while, then frowned. The location of the mission was actually Y Village, the hometown of him and Mr. Royce!
