Being an assassin had always been a high-risk profession, especially in a world where experts were everywhere. Why would anyone hire an assassin who could be easily killed?
The amount of God's Stones spent represented how difficult or risky it would be to kill that person. The higher the price, the greater the difficulty and risk.
If Lu Li wanted to get hundreds of millions of divine stones in one go, the person he had to kill must be powerful, have a powerful background, or have some special factors.
Otherwise, the employer would not have wasted so many God's Stones.
Qin Zhan and Lu Li didn't say much. They knew Lu Li's temper. Once he had decided on something, not even nine bulls could change his mind.
However, Lu Li's idea was not wrong. It was easier to go in than to get out of the Black Blood Abyss. If something happened, the three of them would have nowhere to run and could only wait for death in there.
"Alright, let's do it!"
Qin Zhan nodded and added, "Lu Li, go and see if there are any good quests later. The two of us will work with you."
Lu Li nodded. After thinking for an hour, he walked out of the castle and headed toward the southern part of the city.
He had found out about an assassin organization. Not only was this organization located in Divine Sonar City, but it also had branches in all the main cities. It was a large organization that spanned across the entire Third Heaven.
Hand of Darkness!
This organization was very famous in the Third Heaven. However, they would not personally send people to assassinate. Instead, they would only issue missions and provide information. The assassins who carried out the missions were all voluntary.
It was precisely because the assassins of this organization were not their own people that they were able to exist for such a long time. Otherwise, with so many important figures being assassinated every year, they would have long been destroyed by the joint forces of the various major forces.
At the very least, it was impossible for them to openly establish a branch in the main city.
At the end of the day, they were just a medium, helping the employer to build a bridge between the killer and the employer.
Of course, this assassin organization didn't dare to accept some missions, such as assassinating a Great Emperor's descendant. If they dared to accept such missions, they wouldn't be long from destruction.
Lu Li walked to the south side of the city and found a castle. This castle didn't have a plaque, but there was a black skeletal hand carved on the door. The entire street looked gloomy because of this castle.
Lu Li put on his cloak and walked in, even though he felt like he was hiding something.
After he walked in, he found that there was no one inside. There were only two corridors with different markings on them.
A dagger was engraved on the left corridor, while a God's Stone was engraved on the right corridor. Lu Li understood at a glance.
He walked into the corridor of the dagger and found three side halls at the end of the path.
There were also markings on the side hall. This time, there were words written on it. The words on the left were Basic, the middle was Intermediate, and the furthest right was Super.
This was probably the division of quests. Lu Li thought about it and knocked on the Intermediate door.
He pushed the door open and walked in. There was nothing inside, only a table, and behind it sat a skinny old man in a black robe.
The old man raised his head and looked at Lu Li. There was no emotion in his eyes as he calmly asked, "You want to take an intermediate quest?"
Lu Li nodded and said, "I want to take a mission with a reward of 600 million divine stones."
"600 million?"
This time, the old man's expression changed. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?"
The old man didn't say it clearly, but his meaning was clear. He was asking if Lu Li had the ability.
Lu Li smiled and said, "No one would joke around with their own life. I wouldn't be so bored as to come here to play."
The old man nodded but still said, "Prove it to me!"
The old man released a ray of Xuan Energy to activate the Inhibition Formation in the hall. Lu Li took out his flying sword. The sword glowed and a surge of energy spread out. Lu Li asked, "Is it enough?"
"No!"
The old man shook his head. Lu Li had no choice but to let out Phantom and asked again, "Is it enough?"
"Still not enough. If you want to take a mission with a reward of tens of millions of divine stones, then it is enough!" The old man shook his head again.
Lu Li had to let out Spectre King. The old man's eyes glowed as he said, "It is enough now!"
After Lu Li put away Spectre King and Phantom, the old man took out a file and flipped through it. After a while, he said, "There are two quests with a reward of 600 million to one billion divine stones nearby. Take a look."
Lu Li took over the two files. It was evident that the files had been processed. Some information was not displayed. Lu Li could only see some simple information.
The first was to assassinate a Family Patriarch of a nearby territory, a warrior at the later stage of the Fourth Tribulation Realm. The reward was one billion divine stones.
The second was to wipe out a force with four warriors at the middle stage of the Fourth Tribulation Realm, five at the initial stage of the Fourth Tribulation Realm, and thousands of warriors. The reward was 800 million divine stones.
"Divine stones are not easy to earn …"
Lu Li curled his lips. Divine stones were hard to earn. Kill a warrior at the later stage of the Fourth Tribulation Realm?
A Family Patriarch of a major family?
Lu Li would not only have to deal with the Family Patriarch but also the patriarchs of the family.
Therefore, Lu Li didn't consider the first task at all.
Even though it was just one person, it was much more difficult than wiping out a force.
What was more, he had to find the right opportunity. Maybe he would have to wait for a year or two. He did not have the time to waste.
Then he had to consider the second task!
Lu Li read the introduction of the second task carefully. He didn't miss any information. Then he asked, "Is there any more information about the second task?"
"I will give it to you after you accept the task. This task requires a deposit of one million divine stones." The old man said, "If you can't complete the task in a year, the deposit will be gone."
"One million divine stones!"
Lu Li understood. He thought for a while and took out one million divine stones from his Interspatial Ring. He handed it over and said, "I will take this task!"
The old man took over the divine stones and scanned the file. The hidden information was revealed. He handed over another jade talisman and said, "There is an intelligence connection for this task. If you go to the Tianyun City near the task, you can go to the Tea House of Books with this jade talisman. You will be able to get the latest information about the target.
After you complete the task, you can come to me to claim the reward. The reward will be given according to the degree of completion. If you cannot kill the leader, you won't get any divine stones. We have professionals who will verify it right away. "
"No problem!"
Lu Li was about to leave when the old man shook his head and said, "Read the file first. You cannot take it with you."
"Oh!"
Lu Li stopped and began to read carefully. He memorized all the information and then returned the case file to her.
He walked out and strolled around the city. After confirming that no one was following him, he returned to the inn.
"How did it go?"
Qin Zhan and Gan Lin came up to him. Lu Li said with a bitter smile, "I took a task but it is difficult. I have to think about it and see how I can complete it."
Lu Li said it casually, as if it wasn't difficult at all. However, only he himself knew.
The chance of success was only 50%, which meant that there was a 50% chance that he would die there.
