Chapter 25

The third mission seemed ordinary. Just unlock the seal of the Soul Stone and inject energy into it. However, this was an S- difficulty rating!

Who set the seal on the Soul Stone?

The Chief Royal Alchemist of the Lionheart Empire, Falca.

Recalling Margault's diary, Bai Xiaowen could confirm this.

Of course, the Soul Stone had a seal before, which was set by the nuns of the Northshire Monastery. After Falca stole the Soul Stone, he held a taboo ceremony in the Plague Rat's cave to unlock the original seal, absorb the energy of the Soul Stone, and then sealed it again.

Even though Falca's main profession was alchemy and his combat ability was his weak point, the seal he set up was not something that could be easily broken by some random person pouring a basin of black dog's blood on it. Therefore, Lucien had to find someone as powerful as Falca.

But there was another problem. Could the person who could unlock the seal not recognize that this was the lost Soul Stone of the Northshire Monastery?

If the other party was a little more upright and reported it to the Northshire Monastery, then Bai Xiaowen would be greeted by a group of fanatical nuns or a woman in a state of rage. That's right, it was the Royal Knight Gloria. If I knew I would come to the Aaron Plane, I wouldn't have acted like a hooligan. Bai Xiaowen sighed.

If the other party was a little more sinister and swallowed the Soul Stone, then Bai Xiaowen would be thrown into the Huangpu River to feed the fish or drowned in the sea with cement.

Even if the seal could be unlocked, how could he inject energy?

"This mission is so difficult."

Bai Xiaowen muttered, locked on the third mission, selected, and confirmed! Without courage, how could there be production? As long as he succeeded, he would be a proper Hero! Moreover, this mission was obviously based on the Soul Stone. Without the Soul Stone, this option would not appear at all!

Having the Soul Stone meant that he had the upper hand. He would be a fool if he did not choose it!

Of course, he might also be a fool if he chose it.

[You have chosen the mission.]

[Mission: Dark Soul Stone activated.]

[Mission Objective: Unlock the seal of the Soul Stone and fill it with soul energy. Mission Limit: 10 days. Mission Scope: Northern Territory of the Lionheart Empire.]

[After failing the mission, you can return at any time in a non-combat state.]

In Bai Xiaowen's field of vision, a string of numbers quickly jumped up. It was the ten-day countdown for the mission!

Although the Spiritual Realm was more dangerous, if the Awakened were careful, their survival rate was still very high. If you find that the mission is too difficult, you can give up. As long as he was not in a combat state, he could leave the Spirit Realm.

Of course, this also meant that this expedition to the Spirit Realm was fruitless. Ignoring the losses caused by the Quasi-Awakened not being able to advance, even the powerful veteran Awakened were equivalent to wasting a "ticket" to the spirit world and a chance to increase their strength.

Therefore, very few people were willing to give up on missions unless they had no other choice.

Bai Xiaowen pushed open the door of the cabin. The moment he opened the door, his body was surrounded by the light of the spirit particles.

"Your appearance has been adjusted. Your language will automatically be converted into the Aaron World Common Language. "

"Please pay attention to your words. If you reveal that you are not a native of the Aaron World, you will bear the consequences."

Bai Xiaowen was slightly taken aback, and then said, "Show me my adjusted appearance." Sure enough, this sentence came out of his mouth in fluent ancient Latin.

An illusory mirror spread out, and Bai Xiaowen saw his appearance.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and well-defined facial features. It was the typical image of a handsome Nordic man.

"Do you have to make me look so handsome? I want to be ordinary, please? "Bai Xiaowen secretly exclaimed.

Prompt message: [Every time you enter the world, your original appearance will be adjusted based on your original appearance. It will not be increased or decreased, which will affect the Awakened's charm attribute.]

"In other words, my original appearance is 100. No matter how I adjust it, it will always be 100?" Bai Xiaowen shamelessly touched his chin. "Being handsome is also a problem. By the way, why is there a charm attribute? Aren't there only the four basic attributes? "

Prompt message: [Luck, charm, and will are hidden attributes and will not be displayed.]

At this time, pedestrians in twos and threes had already brushed past Bai Xiaowen. From time to time, some people turned to look at Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen also put away his relaxed mind.

"The first thing is to find a place where the information is gathered and figure out the situation in the Aaron World."

Only by collecting enough information could Bai Xiaowen use his intelligence advantage and analyze the most promising way to complete the mission. Previously, in the Plague Rat's Lair, he had taken the Soul Stone from Gloria and Falca because he had collected good information. Otherwise, with his small body, the two Bosses would have blown him away with a casual breath.

This was a human town, and the place with the most abundant and cheap gossip was, of course, the tavern. Without much effort, Bai Xiaowen found a tavern with a "Wild Mare" banner.

He pushed the door open and entered, bringing in a cold wind.

In the tavern, flames danced in the fireplace, a bard played a flute, and a few drinkers sat in a row of benches next to it. The room was as warm as spring, and it was like a different world from the cold outside.

"Welcome, guest from afar." The tavern owner was a short and stout old man with a messy beard.

"How do you know that I'm not a local?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

"Haha, Old Hunter knows everyone in the city of Elu!" The tavern owner smiled proudly and pushed a cup of ale over. "Get rid of the cold. The first cup is free, but if you want a second cup, please prepare your gold coins! Hahahaha! "

The penniless Bai Xiaowen liked this forthright Old Hunter almost immediately. He sipped the ale slowly and chatted with Old Hunter at the same time. He got a lot of useful information from Old Hunter.

The Lionheart Empire had ruled the Yalun Continent for more than three hundred years.

This was the northern border of the Yalun Continent, a remote area and the home of the Vikings. Three hundred years ago, the talented and bold founding emperor Tibron conquered the northern border and unified the Yalun Continent. But today, the Vikings were dissatisfied with the empire's rule and formed a rebel army. They attacked the capital of the northern border, the Northshire, and killed the great lord of the northern border appointed by the empire.

The empire, which was plagued by internal and external troubles, hurriedly made peace with the external enemy, the High Elves. They freed up their hands and sent the great general Arenas to the northern border to eliminate the rebel army.

Arenas achieved glorious results and chased the rebel army out of the capital, the Northshire, and restored the empire's rule over the northern border in name. The wife of the original great lord, Glyndis, succeeded the throne. However, the territories in the northern border, which had tasted the sweetness of the rebel army, spontaneously began to help the rebel army in battle.

"The Imperial Army and the rebel army form the two camps in the northern border. If I were to expand my view from the northern border to the entire Yalun Continent, it would be the confrontation between the Lionheart Empire and the High Elves. But I only need to pay attention to the northern border. "
