"Brother Feng Hua, won't this move of yours be ruined by someone else and all your efforts will be in vain?"
Outside the city, Not Lacking in Money and Wind Flower Snow Moon were still watching the show.
"I don't know."
Wind Flower Snow Moon thought for a moment and said, "But the NPC who gave the quest said that as long as I can successfully set up this magic barrier in Eastsea Metropolis, Eastsea Metropolis will definitely lose this siege."
"Is that so?
Then I'm relieved. "Not Lacking in Money smiled.
Heroes were born in troubled times, and Eastsea Metropolis had never changed. Even if he had money, he would not be able to do anything in a short time. However, if the game was in chaos, the situation would be completely different.
At the same time, Chen Mo and Xue Yenhua had already set off to find Great Mage Carmen.
With Xue Yenhua leading the way, the two did not spend much time before arriving at Carmen's house.
Carmen's house was covered by a faint layer of magic barrier, blocking out the blood-red poison mist. However, the two were not stopped when they walked in.
The two entered the magic barrier, and Xue Yenhua knocked on the door. Carmen opened the door and saw Xue Yenhua. He nodded and let the two in.
Chen Mo had seen Undergrün before. Compared to Undergrün, Carmen looked more like an ordinary old man. If Xue Yenhua had not mentioned it, Chen Mo would have found it hard to imagine that Carmen was a Great Mage.
Unlike Undergrün's castle, Carmen's house was very small. However, after walking in, Chen Mo saw a large number of magic books and magic materials.
"So you're one of the adventurers who saved Princess Peradini."
Xue Yenhua introduced Chen Mo. Carmen's expressionless face softened when he looked at Chen Mo.
"You came to find me because of the magic barrier that covers the entire city?"
The two stated their intentions, and Carmen pondered for a moment.
"Yes, Master Carmen. May I ask how we can destroy the magic barrier?" Xue Yenhua nodded.
Carmen shook his head slowly. "There's no way.
You're thinking too simply. How could a magic barrier capable of protecting an entire city be so easily destroyed?
Unlike ordinary magic arrays, this kind of magic barrier would first protect the magic array itself after it was activated. One would need to have the power to break the magic barrier in order to destroy the magic array.
Moreover, these magic arrays are made up of multiple individual magic arrays. You can't destroy multiple magic arrays in a short period of time. Otherwise, you won't be able to destroy the magic arrays. "
"But the people in the mayor's residence said that you have a way …" Chen Mo frowned.
"What do those people know? They know nothing about magic arrays!
This ancient city's magic formation has existed since the last two City Lords were still alive. They only knew how to use it, but never studied it. Of course, they thought that all the magic formations in the world were the same! "Carmen coldly said. He was very disdainful of the people in the City Lord's residence.
"Go back and tell them that it's not that I don't want to help, but that there's really no other way.
Of course, I don't have a way, but they have a way. It's just that I don't know if the old city lord is willing to use this method. "
System Notification: Quest 'Destroy Magic Array' failed!
After Carmen finished speaking, a System Notification sounded out.
Chen Mo and Xue Yenhua looked at each other. They didn't think that this Grade A Quest would be a guaranteed failure.
"Okay, Master Carmen. We'll pass on your words to the City Lord's residence." Chen Mo nodded and said goodbye to Xue Yenhua.
After passing through the blood-red fog, the two of them quickly returned to the City Lord's residence.
They found the old NPC who had given out the quest and passed on Carmen's words.
"So it's like this. Even Master Carmen can't do anything?" the old NPC muttered.
"Thank you, heroes. You've worked hard." However, he quickly reacted and nodded at the two of them.
System Notification: You have received 1,000 points!
Well, luckily, there was a reward for this mission that was bound to fail. 1000 points as an errand fee was already pretty good.
However, Chen Mo knew that 1,000 points wasn't easy to earn. They could earn it so easily because they knew Carmen. He didn't know if Carmen would care about other people.
The two of them had quite a few points, and Chen Mo and Xue Yenhua wanted to use up their points first.
If the old NPC didn't give them any more quests, Eastsea Metropolis would really be in trouble.
If Eastsea Metropolis was breached, it was hard to say if the points would still be useful. Of course, the two of them had to use up their points first.
Chen Mo had quite a lot of points now. Including the 1,000 points he had just received, he had more than 13,000 points available.
Chen Mo turned to find Wei Na and upgraded his remaining two battle skills, Basic Trap and Poison Crossbow, to Intermediate level.
When Chen Mo turned to leave, the old NPC didn't stand there and give out quests anymore. Instead, he hurriedly left and walked towards the second floor of the City Lord's residence.
However, because of the blood-red fog, no new players could enter the City Lord's residence. There was no one around the old NPC accepting quests, so not many people noticed his strange actions.
Chen Mo quickly upgraded his two skills to Intermediate level. He still had more than 9,000 points available.
This amount of points was a little awkward, because a Level 20 Purple equipment would cost around 8,000 points, and a Level 25 equipment would cost 11,000 points. Chen Mo still needed to save 2,000 points to level up his Sea Spear Skill, Mighty Throw.
Just as Chen Mo was hesitating about whether to exchange for a pair of Level 20 Purple shoes, the old NPC hurriedly walked down from the second floor to Chen Mo's side.
"Brave adventurer, please follow me. Our City Lord has something to ask of you!"
City Lord?
Chen Mo was stunned. He knew that a big quest was coming!
However, Chen Mo looked at Snow Night Flower. Snow Night Flower was busy exchanging for rewards and didn't notice what was going on. Clearly, the East Sea City's City Lord had only invited him.
Why did he only invite him and not Snow Night Flower? There could be many reasons. Chen Mo couldn't be bothered to guess. He was just curious about what quest the City Lord would give him.
Could it be that the East Sea City's City Lord had some tricks up his sleeve?
However, it didn't seem like it. If he had such tricks up his sleeve just by asking him for help, it would be too overpowered.
Chen Mo kept guessing as he followed behind the old NPC. However, before he could think of anything, he arrived at the second floor and saw the East Sea City's City Lord.
Chen Mo had thought that the East Sea City's City Lord would be an old man. However, after seeing the City Lord's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"This is City Lord Joanna!" The old NPC pointed at a beautiful NPC with long, wavy blue hair and introduced her.
This beautiful NPC was very young, around 25 years old. She had long, wavy blue hair and eyes. She wore a long, silver and black aristocratic dress. As she smiled at Chen Mo, she vaguely exuded the majesty of a ruler. As expected of a City Lord.
No one had ever seen the City Lord of East Sea City before. Chen Mo guessed that he was the first.
Many players on the forums guessed what the City Lords of the three major cities looked like. Most people thought that they were old NPCs. They weren't sure about the other two cities, but no one would have thought that the City Lord of East Sea City was such a beautiful and charming woman.
The situation in East Sea City was grim, but Joanna's smiling face didn't show any signs of uneasiness. She only looked at Chen Mo with interest.
"This adventurer is indeed handsome. If I were younger, I might have fallen in love with you." Joanna smiled gently.
"It's not too late to fall in love with me now."
Chen Mo smiled. Seducing an NPC? Who knew what would happen? Just thinking about it made him curious.
"You're too young. I prefer mature men," Joanna said with a smile.
Damn, are you saying that I'm not mature enough?
However, compared to those old men, I can't deny that I'm still very young.
"Castellan Joanna, may I know what you need my help with?" Chen Mo asked in a serious tone.
"Yes.
I've heard some things about you. You've been to the Land of Exile and escaped from there. Moreover, you're not afraid of the Sea Tribe's blood-colored poisonous fog.
I have something that I need you to do when you return to the Land of Exile. Would you be willing to do it? "Joanna said after thinking for a moment.
"Please allow me to ask a few questions first.
As you know, I escaped from the Land of Exile. If I return to the Land of Exile, will I be arrested and punished more severely?
Also, how will I get to the Land of Exile? If you want me to kill a large number of adventurers to get there, I'll have to seriously consider it. "
"These two questions are not a problem.
For adventurers like you, the Land of Exile has a special rule. Once you escape from the Land of Exile, your crimes will be written off and you will not be pursued.
As for the second question, if you agree to help me, I'll give you a Teleportation Scroll that can directly teleport you to the Land of Exile.
Of course, once you're in the Land of Exile, you won't be able to use Teleportation Scrolls in the Land of Exile. If you want to leave, you'll have to escape by yourself or wait for the day when the Teleportation Portal opens. "
Joanna seemed to be prepared for this. She quickly answered Chen Mo's questions and even answered Chen Mo's questions about how to return.
"Then, City Lord Joanna, what do you want me to do for you?" Chen Mo nodded and asked.
"I want you to go to the Land of Exile and kill an important person of the Sea Tribe who is imprisoned there!"
"An important person of the Sea Tribe?" Chen Mo's heart trembled.
"That's right. Strictly speaking, that important person of the Sea Tribe was captured and imprisoned in the Land of Exile during the war between the City of East Sea and the Sea Tribe.
The Sea Tribe is targeting the City of East Sea because of that important person of the Sea Tribe. "Joanna nodded.
"Isn't that important person a hostage?
Why do you want to kill him? "Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.
Killing an important person of the Sea Tribe who was imprisoned in the Land of Exile didn't seem to benefit the City of East Sea or the Human Tribe at all.
…
The first thing was worse.
