665 Tasks

Octavial, who returned to the office, still had a gloomy and angry expression on his face, but he became serious when he got to the point.

"The business of the House of Shadows is mainly based on transactions and circulation, with a small amount of employment or construction and development," Octavier officially introduced the situation after pushing a document over. "This time the task is to deliver twelve medicines in the past. If the other party is willing to continue to customize, then the other party needs to pay 30% of the resources in advance."

Flipping through the documents in his hand, Raymond quickly learned the names and quantities of the medicines delivered, many of which were vicious medicines that would cause serious sequelae to the users, but he was concerned about the document marked as "Three level” risk assessment without understanding what it means.

Seeing that Raymond looked confused after reading the list, Octavier continued to explain. "These potions were completed ten days ago. Considering that you need to go to the nightmare world to collect the essence of the people of ashes, I have postponed the delivery date. If you are willing to accept this task, then go to the nightmare world There is no need to pay the fee, and there will be a lot of points as rewards after returning smoothly.”

Raymond nodded, put the file back and asked. "What does level 3 risk mean?"

"Medium normal risk, there will be no danger in the transaction process for the Dawn Wizard!"

"Then what level of wizard was originally responsible for completing this mission?"

Raymond's questioning made Octavier a little unhappy, but seeing his serious attitude, he hesitated before speaking. "Originally, the transaction with these customizers in the nightmare world only required the appearance of a second-level wizard, but last time he was seriously injured when he was attacked by an inhuman creature when he returned, so the risk level of this transaction has been raised by one level. "

"The previous second-level wizard finally escaped during the siege?" Raymond smiled when he noticed Octavil's displeasure. "Because the chaos of the nightmare world and the power of its creatures are well-known, that's why I'm asking so carefully, please forgive me."

Staring at Raymond's expression for a long time. Octavial, whose face gradually calmed down, sighed, and began to rub his fingers at the temple, his face looked very tired. "In the past, such tasks were arranged by a special person who was responsible for explaining the risks and precautions. Your question should belong to the normal category. I was worrying too much just now..."

Understanding the reason why Octavier delayed this task, Raymond was also grateful. "The second-level wizard can escape unscathed, so this mission should not be too risky. It's better for someone who is familiar with the nightmare world to tell me the details."

Glancing at Raymond, Octavier smiled wryly. "The transaction itself is not difficult this time, because the potion orderers in the Nightmare World are asking for the House of Shadows. Therefore, they attach great importance to the security of transactions within their control..."

After speaking halfway, Octavier raised his head with a hesitant expression on his face. After a while, he clicked on the desktop in front of him. Soon a semi-transparent image like a topographic map appeared between the two of them. .

"The dark green area is the human-controlled area of ​​the nightmare world. The gray area outside belongs to the harsh environment with high radiation intensity," the slender and slender fingers moved slowly on this topographic map. Octavier's tone seemed a little dull. "Normal delivery of potions only needs to be carried out at the edge of the dark green area. But if you want to reach the area under the jurisdiction of the northern Scourge Lord, you need to pass through this high-radiation area and finally enter the extreme north of this map!"

The path drawn from the green area in the lower left corner of the topographic map is almost a straight diagonal line, with the entire gray area in the middle, and it is deliberately far away from the areas marked with dark red dots.

There was no opening to ask why this line was set. Raymond hesitated and asked. "If I was sent to the northern border of the nightmare world alone, what price would I have to pay?"

Looking up and down at Raymond again, Octavier laughed. "It's about three times the points you spent in the library, and there's no guarantee that you'll be able to return through the reverse transmission channel of the House of Shadows!"

The smiling Octavill was very elegant. But her explanation almost made Raymond jump up. "What! After sending me there at such a high price, do I still need to return by myself?"

"In the territory of the Scourge Lord, the House of Shadows can only construct a one-way teleportation array, and if there is an abnormality in the predetermined area, then the House of Shadows will definitely cancel the teleportation array," the expression was flat but the tone was very strong Resolutely, Octavier, who was staring at Raymond, said word by word. "Otherwise, sending a disaster lord here will be a catastrophe!"

Trying to resolve Octavial's serious expression, Raymond, who immediately smiled wryly, expressed emotion. "Understood, the House of Shadows will not take such a risk, unless the person who is sent is a senior member of the House of Shadows..."

He stared at Raymond without blinking, but Octavier's expression became a little dazed. "You are wrong! Even if I am in such a state, the talisman array responsible for reverse teleportation will disintegrate immediately, and the House of Shadows will not take such a risk..."

Realizing that Octavil's eyes lost focus, Raymond, who was obviously caught in some kind of memory, smiled and closed his mouth. It took a long time before Octavil, who was in a trance, began to murmur Verbal narration.

The space where the headquarters of the House of Shadows is located is an area separated from a certain main plane, so although the aborigines here have the potential to become wizards, after many years of self-defense due to the low population base, in the end they still The defense here is greatly weakened.

Therefore, after communicating with other planes to establish the communication platform of the House of Shadows, every executive manager in this position of Octavill is under the measure of safety and risk.

There was an accident hundreds of years ago. The wizard who was dispatched to the northern border of the Nightmare World to perform a mission returned to the scheduled teleportation point after successfully completing the mission, waiting for the activation of the reverse teleportation array.

However, the monitoring at the House of Shadows showed that the environment in the teleportation area of ​​the Nightmare World had changed. However, since the wizard sent there was a descendant of an important elder in the House of Shadows, after reporting the matter to the , the elder personally rushed to the place where the teleportation talisman was set up, activated the reverse teleportation talisman, and teleported his descendants back.

However, a low-level disaster lord who was transported from the nightmare world with him almost caused the destruction of this space!

At the moment when things could not be reversed, the elder who had reached the fifth-level wizard strength that caused the disaster had no choice but to rely on his own self-destruction to banish the invading natural disaster lord into the void.

With nostalgia and sighs on his face, Octavial stared at Raymond and said after speaking. "That elder is still the blood of the creator of this space, but the strength of the fifth level can only expel the disaster lord, but cannot kill it... So if it really affects the safety of the headquarters of the House of Shadows, then There is no room for negotiation, no matter who is abandoned!"

"It turns out that this is just an isolated space. No wonder the House of Shadows is so cautious." Understanding what Octavial wanted to express, Raymond knew that she could not make a compromise on this issue, so he simply It was promised. "Then I accepted this task, but I still need to understand the details of the nightmare world!"

"There will be a special introduction about the nightmare world before you leave, so I wish you all the best!"

The formulaic concluding remarks of the still pale-faced Octavier did not represent any attitude, but seeing the pale-faced Octavier hesitate to speak, Raymond, who stood up, was a little puzzled.

Seeing that Raymond did not leave immediately, Octavier began to persuade. "Although there are many precious materials that can be collected in the northern border of the nightmare world, I still suggest that you put safety first..." (to be continued...)
