Chapter 563 Wholesale Procurement Task (7K)

"Faerun?"

Dilhoz said with a look of reminiscence: "I have indeed heard of this world."

"There are many demons under my command harvesting souls in this world, but they generally believe that compared to other main material plane worlds, the work in Faerûn is much more difficult."

"When they looked through the history of Faerûn, they found that this world seemed to have been ravaged by countless disasters in turn. However, this world still stubbornly survived, which is very rare in the entire multiverse."

"The water there is very deep, there are too many leftover things, and -" He paused and lowered his voice: "There are too many gods watching over there."

The main material plane of the multiverse is, of course, not just the humanoid world of Faerûn.

Even most of the main creatures active in the world of Faerun - including humans, elves, and even various monsters - are not natives of Faerun, but came from other worlds for some reasons many years ago. of Phelan.

As for what Dilhez said, it is indeed true. The disasters that happened in Faerun were even more than Dirhez knew. Even if there was more than one true god who fell in this world.

Tang Sen heard his subtext that the world was too dangerous.

But Tang Sen ignored it and simply said: "The prophecy describes Faerun."

"And prophecies are unchangeable."

Seeing Tang Sen's blabbering expression, Dilherz could only swallow back what he was about to say.

It seems that the god behind this man is determined to take action against Faerun, but he is not qualified to influence the god's will.

"As you wish, Mr. Red."

He then said: "Do you need me to follow you to Faerun?"

"A devil duke entered the main material plane?" Tang Sen glanced at him: "That's not called an investigation, but an invasion."

"I can incarnate." Dilhez said with a warm-hearted look, "It's impossible for a mortal to discover it."

"No need." Tang Sen refused without hesitation: "What you have to do is wait for my news, and then start planning according to my instructions."

Dilhez was obviously unwilling to do so. He wanted to participate more deeply in this grand plan of annihilation. Moreover, he was really not used to the man in front of him bossing him around, but he still held back.

After all, this is just the first contact, and the devil is very good at holding back in order to seek greater benefits.

"So, how should I contact you when you go to Faerûn?" he asked.

"I will take the initiative to contact you when needed." Tang Sen said unceremoniously: "Give me a channel to contact you. I mean, channels other than your devilish methods, although I don't mind. Those clever tricks of the devil, even if you lay a trap for me, you will only be the unlucky one."

"However, I don't want any unnecessary surprises to slow things down."

"Mr. Reid, you have really misunderstood me." Dilhetz sighed, showing an exaggerated sad look, and said: "How can I have any clever tricks? We devils are the most trustworthy! And as the Devil’s Duke, I will of course set an example for the Devil’s credibility.”

Seeing Tang Sen's unbelieving expression, he hesitated, suddenly raised his hand, and broke off a small section of the right corner of his head.

He handed over the devil's horn and said, "Mr. Reid, if you want to contact me, you only need to soak my horn in the blood of any creature."

Tang Sen raised his eyebrows in surprise and took the devil horn, which was almost half the size of an ordinary human being.

This is part of the body of a devil duke, which means that if you intend to do him harm, you can at least cause him a lot of trouble through this devil horn.

This is a letter of nomination.

Townsend said meaningfully: "Mr. Dilhoz, you are very smart."

This was the first time that Tang Sen called the other party by his first name instead of "Your Excellency the Duke".

Obviously, Dilherz was very impressed by Tang Sen's change in attitude. He seemed to have made the right bet by handing over his horn to this stranger he had just met in exchange for his favor.

"We will have to rely more on Mr. Reed in the future." Dilherz took the initiative to lower his stance.

"Easy to say." Tang Sen nodded and said, "I have a hunch that our transaction will be very pleasant."

At this time, Diavolo's ritual is still going on. His body has completely turned into a mess of flesh and blood. A larva-like thing is born in the flesh and blood. This larva is constantly devouring his old remains. Body.

The scene was disgusting.

"The promotion ceremony will take a long time. Diavolo needs to swallow all this flesh and blood before he can complete his transformation and become an abyssal demon. If Mr. Reid is interested, we can watch it slowly."

"No." Tang Sen shook his head: "Without further delay, I plan to go to Faerun immediately."

"Mr. Dilhoz, I think you have a map of the outer planes, right?"

"No one dares to say that they own the map of the outer plane, not even the gods." Dilhez changed the subject: "Of course, there is still a part of it."

"The map I own mainly includes the Nine Levels of Purgatory, the Plain of Abyss, part of the astral plane and the etheric plane, as well as some of the main material planes and elemental planes they lead to."

"Of course, there's also the Outlands."

"That's enough." Tang Sen nodded with satisfaction.

The map of a devil duke is definitely a treasure for any astral adventurer. It is impossible to buy it on the market. After all, in the multiverse, such things as maps mean that they are unknown. secret.

For example, some portals that few people know about, or some safe routes that travel from the astral plane or the etheric plane.

Now, all he had to do was mention it casually, and he was free of charge.

Fraud is so much fun!

"Among them, there should be a way to Faerun, right?"

Dilhetz said: "There should be. I don't pay too much attention to the path of the main material plane. It's all the devils below who give me the maps they explored."

"Mr. Reid, wait a moment, I will copy the map."

Tang Sen nodded slightly.

He is not worried about Dilhetz's small moves on the map. The other party can at most hide some secrets related to themselves or the devil race, and omit some important portal locations and some planes.

Soon, Dilhez returned to the hall with a crystal ball.

"I took a look and found that neither the Endless Abyss nor the Nine Levels of Purgatory have direct portals leading to Faerun. I'm afraid there are only two ways for Mr. Reid to go there."

Tang Sen looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"The first way is to transfer to Sigil City through the portal, and then go to Faerûn through Sigil City. Of course, although Sigil City has portals to all planes of the multiverse, there is no record on my map leading to Faerûn. The location of Lun's portal may require Mr. Reed to find it on his own."

"The second way is to take a magic ship and go directly to Faerun through the astral plane. I personally recommend this method. There are detailed and relatively safe routes on the map. Moreover, I can provide magic ships and very experienced crew--"

"No need." Tang Sen interrupted him: "I have my own method."

He took the crystal ball, threw it and the devil horns into the demiplane he carried with him, and then bowed slightly: "Then, I'll say goodbye."

Dilhez offered a symbolic attempt to persuade him to stay, but Tang Sen just glanced at Diablo, who was still in the promotion ceremony, and said, "Diablo has some fate with me."

The next moment, his figure had disappeared in front of Dilhez.

Relying on the movement of the surgical fruits and the change of the deceitful body, the demon lord could not find Tang Sen, and naturally Dierhetz could not find him either. Although he did try hard to sense it.

"It is indeed a method of divine power."

The easy-going and friendliness on his face disappeared at this time, revealing a thoughtful look: "Faerun. No matter what, there is nothing wrong with making arrangements first."

"It's been several hours."

Varro squatted restlessly on the edge of the square, watching the devils coming and going, and whispered to Xue Xue next to him: "If Mr. Tang was in this devil's fortress, he would have joined us long ago. Converged."

"Some unexpected situation must have happened now, Xue Xue, we can't just wait here, we must take the initiative."

Xue Xue sat quietly on the ground and replied casually: "Really?"

"Isn't it? Now is not the time to repeat such meaningless words!" Varro waved his arms and said: "Devils have a very strict social system. Except for the lowest evil devils, almost every devil clearly understands Know your subordinates and superiors.”

"This also means that simply transforming into a devil is not enough to hide safely in this fortress. Now, because they have just experienced a war, the devils are still taking inventory of the battle damage. After a while, they will Found two strange devils.”

"When the time comes, if you want to leave here, it will be difficult to reach heaven!"

Xue Xue looked at him: "Really?"

Varro: "."

"what on earth do you want?"

"He asked me to watch you." Xue Xue said, "We just wait."

"Don't you understand what I have said?" Varro collapsed: "We are about to be discovered! As a spell caster, why are you so rigid?"

"You can't die, but I will die. Even if I don't die, don't you know the consequences of falling into the hands of the devil?"

Xue Xue showed a curious expression: "What are the consequences."

"I" Varro almost couldn't breathe, "How about you let me walk first?"

"He asked me to watch you."

Snapped!

Varro slapped himself hard and sat down on the ground.

"Forget it, destroy it."

But he quickly ejected again, because a demon who was obviously a general was walking straight towards the two of them.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Varro said in a panic: "It's really too late now."

He looked around and found to his despair that there were only a few devils in the square. In other words, there was no possibility of the other party finding fault.

"You two!"

In the distance, the devil's scolding voice came: "Why are you still here? Whose people are you?"

"We are Aruba's men!" Varro quickly replied in Purgatory.

The devil suddenly frowned: "Your Infernal language sounds a bit strange, wait a minute!"

He took out his whip and whipped it directly towards Varo: "Did I ask you this? Do evil demons dare to talk to me?"

Varro was shocked and took a step back to avoid the whip.

"You still dare to hide?" The devil's expression changed drastically: "I just feel like something is wrong with you!"

Varro suddenly complained secretly in his heart. In the devil's hierarchy, superiors take life and death from subordinates. His behavior has obviously completely exposed that he is not a devil.

Seeing the devil general's murderous intent, Varo quickly looked at Xue Xue.

"Why don't you do it? Just kill him, and then escape from here before too many people know about us."

Xue Xue tilted his head: "He didn't let me do such a thing."

"Are you really——" Before Varro could finish his words, the devil had already pounced on him.

At this critical moment, he suddenly felt his eyes blur. The devil's ferocious face disappeared, and what he saw instead was the wooden wall.

He gasped for breath for a while, still in shock.

"Mr. Varro, you look in very bad shape."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Varro stiffened, turned around, and saw Tang Sen standing there with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Tang? Are you okay?"

"What does Mr. Varro wish to happen to me?"

"No, no." Varro suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and said quickly: "It's just that you have been away for too long, and we were almost discovered by the devils. Wait, where is this?"

"Aboard a magic ship." Tang Sen didn't mind Varro's gaffe, but explained: "Sorry, I wasted some time, but don't worry so much, even if I'm not here, I told Xue Xue to protect you , you will not be in danger."

"Protection." Varro opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Is that protection?

But he soon noticed something else: "Magic ship?"

"That's right, a magic ship belonging to the mercenaries from Sigil City." Tang Sen said: "This war is over, and the deal between them and the devil has naturally been completed. They should set off to return to Sigil City soon. Alright."

"Can we finally leave the Endless Abyss and return to Faerûn?" Varro suddenly forgot the previous unpleasantness and became excited.

"I just went to Sigil City and haven't returned to Faerun yet." Tang Sen said: "But you are right, we are about to leave the Endless Abyss."

"Thank God!" Varro breathed a long sigh of relief: "Sigil City is also fine. At least there, I don't have to worry about any other dangers except for ladies."

The lady, of course, refers to the ruler of Sigil, the Lady of Pain.

"Mr. Varro has been to Sigil City?" Tang Sen asked.

"I've never been there, but Elminster talked to me about his experiences in Sigil." Varro said: "I have always wanted to write a "Varro's Guide to Sigil", but you know , I have too many books to write in my plan, and even Faerûn has not yet been explored, and the outer lands are too far away."

"Then you have a chance this time." Tang Sen was a little disappointed.

If Varro has been to Sigil, he should know where the portal connecting Sigil and Faerûn is.

He shifted his gaze towards Xue Xue and said in a gentle tone: "Do you have any memory of our destination?"

Xue Xue shook his head: "I don't remember."

Facing Tang Sen, she spoke a little more and asked again: "Is Sigil City different from here?"

"It's different, very different." Tang Sen said with a smile: "It was once the most unique and safest city in the entire multiverse."

"Once?" Varro noticed Tang Sen's wording, so he corrected: "It's the same now. Since the establishment of Sigil City, no city has been able to match its status."

"No, not anymore." Tang Sen shook his head and said, "It's another city."

"Is there another city that I don't know that is safer than Sigil City?" Varro said in disbelief: "Although I have never been to the outer plane, don't doubt my knowledge reserve. Where are you talking about?"

Tang Sen said calmly: "Of course it's Neverwinter City."

"Neverwinter City?" Varro was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "There is no comparison. It's not like I have never been to Neverwinter City."

"I admit that the current Neverwinter City is indeed very different from before. The strangest thing is that Neverwinter City actually has the same rules as Sigil City, such as not being able to fight. However, the gap between the two is still very big."

"Behind Neverwinter, there may be a certain god's power affecting the rules there, but there is only one 'lady' in the multiverse."

Tang Sen also smiled and said: "The gap between the two is indeed huge."

"Let's get down to business." Tang Sen changed the subject, took out a crystal ball and said, "Mr. Varro, you should be able to read maps of the outer planes, right?"

"Is this a map of the outer plane?" Varro was startled.

"Otherwise, what do you think I did just now?" Tang Sen smiled: "Without a map, how can we find the way back to Faerun?"

Upon hearing this, Varro felt a little ashamed.

He has not forgotten what he was saying just now. Although it is indeed a normal state of mind under panic, but in order to take him back to Faerun, he went to find a map alone, but he was protected by someone, but he was still ungrateful. , even resentful.

It’s really inappropriate.

He coughed a few times, quickly took the crystal ball, lowered his head, and concealed his emotions.

The crystal ball was triggered, and a translucent, ring-shaped image suddenly appeared in the air.

"Is this a map of the outer plane? It even marks many passages and portals leading to the main material plane and the elemental plane?" Varro's eyes suddenly widened: "So detailed? This kind of map is not ordinary. goods."

Tang Sen nodded: "Of course it's not ordinary stuff. I got it from the Devil Duke."

"Hiss!" Varro took a breath of air and looked at Tang Sen with admiration: "Is it necessary to go to this extent? That is the Devil Duke. Stealing things from the Devil Duke's hands, if he is discovered - "

At this point, Varro felt even more ashamed.

In such a short period of time, did Mr. Tang actually do such a dangerous thing? Compared with what he did, he was just staying in the devil's fortress. The biggest danger was that the devil almost discovered his identity, which was too childish.

Of course he didn't know that when Tang Sen said he could get it from his hand, he actually meant it literally.

And asking Xue Xue to watch him was also literal.

In short, under the shame, Varro's attitude became more serious. He pointed at a red dot on the translucent image and said: "The crystal ball that stores the map itself is a precious magic prop. What is shown here is Our current location - Wanyuan Plain."

"And this entire ring is the outer plane. In the middle of the outer plane is the outer realm where Sigil City is located."

"The magic ship we are riding on must not be able to reach Sigil City directly. It is the city of ten thousand gates. We can only enter and leave through teleportation."

"I think these mercenaries have a transit station. They will first leave the Endless Abyss and enter the astral plane, then pass through a certain portal and return to Sigil City."

Varro's finger slid over the influence and landed on a certain point: "The Devil Duke's map actually contains the location of Faerûn. If we don't go to Sigil City, we can also sail directly through the magic ship. Directly reach the entrance to Faerun in the star realm."

He frowned: "However, it seems a little too far away."

"I don't know much about this. If it's a magic ship, how long will it take to sail from the Endless Abyss to Faerun?" Tang Sen asked.

"If my knowledge is correct, according to the markings on the map, even the shortest path will probably take two years. Moreover, there are obviously many dangerous places marked on the shortest path, such as this area——"

He clicked on a spot in the void: "On the mark, there is a group of astral giant beasts living. Their attitude towards astral travelers is by no means friendly. The consequences of encountering them are often directly slapped. Naturally, there is no need to say more about the result of the magic ship being shot into pieces and the people inside the ship.”

When Varro said this, words suddenly appeared in Tang Sen's vision.

[Purchase item 4: The head of the king of the giant beasts in the star realm. 】

Actually triggered a new procurement task?

Tang Sen couldn't help but squinted his eyes and looked at where Varro was pointing.

He didn't know much about the astral behemoths. He only knew that they were extremely large and powerful creatures that lived in the astral plane. The king of their group should not be underestimated.

"There is also this area." Varro pointed to another place: "The mysterious forbidden area is marked on it. No one knows what is inside, but what can be confirmed is that hundreds of magic ships have entered and will never be seen again. It has never come out, and there was even a god who entered there out of curiosity and has been confirmed to have died."

Just as Varro finished speaking, a new procurement task was triggered.

[Purchased item 5: Divine evil. 】

Tang Sen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The frequency of triggering procurement tasks is too high, right?

He chewed on the word "god".

Obviously, this is related to the place Varro said that even gods will fall. You can't go wrong when purchasing goods. The mysterious source of that place should be this so-called "god's evil".

This procurement mission was more dangerous than the head of the King of Star Beasts just now. Tang Sen didn't think he had the ability to explore that kind of place, let alone get something that sounded very high-end.

Let's put it aside for a while, at least complete the plan in Faerun first.

Speaking of which, I still have another purchasing task that I haven't completed in the world of Faerun.

Thazastan's phylactery.

This task sounds much simpler than the two tasks that were just triggered.

"So, if we want to reach Faerûn by sailing through the astral realm, we may need to take a detour."

Varro continued to explain, drawing a zigzag arc on the map with his finger: "This route is relatively the safest, and it passes through the edges of the planes of the neutral or good camp."

"How long will it take?" Tang Sen asked, no longer paying attention to the words.

"Five years." Varro opened his palms and estimated.

"So, it's really the fastest way to find the portal to Sigil City, right?" Tang Sen concluded.

"If it can be found." Varro spread his hands and said: "No one can count the number of portals in the City of Ten Thousand Gates, and no one can fully know. Maybe only 'lady' knows about Sigil City. All secrets, although He obviously doesn't care about any of it."

"Then it's decided." Tang Sen carefully put away the crystal ball.

Originally, the purpose of taking this map was just to find the way back to Faerûn, and to learn more about the layout of the multiverse in order to prepare for his future influence in the outer planes. But now, this map was given to Tang Sen. A big surprise.

This thing is basically a mission trigger!

Judging from the situation just now, if you study the various locations marked on this map in depth, you may be able to trigger many procurement tasks. Moreover, whether it is the outer plane, the astral plane, or the etheric plane, The status of the triggered procurement task is definitely not low.

It is naturally impossible for Tang Sen to complete those purchasing tasks one by one.

However, the seeds that were planted before should be ready to be harvested. Tang Sen is looking forward to what will happen when he returns to Neverwinter City.

"The fame cultivated through unlimited money and legendary award ceremonies, coupled with the unique environment of Neverwinter given by the characteristics of the territory, cultivate one's own power."

"Then, trigger a large number of procurement tasks! Let your own forces help you complete the procurement."

“Now, there are a lot of opportunities to trigger procurement tasks.”

The corner of Tang Sen's mouth curled up slightly: "I can finally start preparing to change from a solo buyer to controlling a purchasing group."

"Of course, there's also the deceitful divinity."

“I really look forward to seeing how much benefit I can bring when the entire world of Faerûn, the nine levels of purgatory, the endless abyss, even creatures from other outer planes, and even some gods are shrouded in my lies. "

It’s the seventh day that I’ve had 7,000 updates in a row. Please give me some monthly tickets. I feel like my monthly tickets haven’t moved at all.
