The Death List Novel - Chapter 125
Chapter 125 Team Badge
The summoning superposition merged with the Maezer Summoning Technique, and the shuttle-shaped crystal representing the Star Magic Weave also merged with the Maezer Summoning Technique and the Drifting Technique, turning them into two small magical symbols on the surface of the crystal.
The magic symbols representing Maezer Summoning, Drifting, and Crystal Mirror Magic Arrays merged with a few stars. The drift spell and the crystal mirror spell formation were even connected by a small starlight stripe, indicating that the two spells were related to each other to some extent.
The three spells that merged with the starlight of the magic net were more complicated than before. Although there were no changes to the skills on the death list, Qin Lun believed that after he completely mastered the three spells, the additional starlight runes would definitely help him improve the three spells.
After coming out of the training ground, it was almost afternoon. Qin Lun sighed slightly. Today was the fifth day of his return from the Illusory Demon World, and another ten days of adventure would come. This kind of frequency was indeed a bit high, and even with his mentality, he felt that it was a bit difficult to endure.
Feeling that time was running out, Qin Lun quickened his pace and headed towards the Apostle Mercenary Headquarters. He wanted to release information about the fusion of intelligent race bloodlines.
The apostle mercenary headquarters was a steeple tower-style building built by the five intelligent races of the Corner of the Abyss. The architectural styles of the city were varied. Except for the functional building area in the center of the city, the other residential areas are divided into five parts with different architectural styles.
The Mercenary Headquarters was the style of a tower of the Wind Elemental Race. This intelligent race loved tall and towering buildings, and even the Apostle Mercenary Headquarters was built like a javelin.
The mercenary headquarters was protected by numerous patrols. Due to the large number of apostles who received urban missions, some well-paid urban mercenary missions would often generate competition and disagreements. Therefore, this was also a key patrol area for the management of the race.
The patrol team here was very powerful. Not only were they composed of high-level warriors from the Abyss Devils and Rakshasa Races, they were also equipped with elven mages, wind elemental Warlocks, and dwarf snipers.
Two chaos devils over twenty feet tall stood on both sides of the arched gate of the mercenary headquarters. The Chaos Demon Ox-head was extremely majestic. Behind him was a pair of broad Abyss Devil Wings. It was a type of Abyss Devil that was very close to a high-ranking creature. In the old century when the starry sky was shattered, they were the personal guards of the Lord of the Abyss, also known as the Doomsday Guards.
Apart from cities like the Horn of the Abyss, these Abyss Devils couldn’t survive anywhere else. It wasn’t that they weren’t strong enough, but that they would be hunted by other high-ranking apostles.
Qin Lun stood at the entrance of the mercenary headquarters, not in a hurry to enter. He rubbed his chin with his elbow and looked at the two Abyss Devil Guards.
The two primal chaos devils didn’t look sideways, and they didn’t seem to be surprised by this kind of gaze anymore. There were also some high-grade apostles who used broken crystals and equipment to lure them to give some blood. If the reward was right, these two big fellows wouldn’t mind exchanging a few hundred milliliters of Demon’s blood for top-grade equipment.
Qin Lun also had a similar thought in his mind. However, when he remembered that he only had the pitiful 25,000 broken crystals left, the doctor who was short of money could only smack his mouth and walk into the mercenary headquarters.
Just as he walked through the door, a Wind Elemental came forward to greet him. This wind element was already in a high-grade form. Its upper body was a human, and its lower body was a whirlwind. Its image was somewhat similar to the legendary Arab god of lamps. However, this “Lantern God” was not dressed in a scarf-wrapped Islamic dress. Instead, he was dressed in a black gown and was a welcoming person.
“Sir, the mercenary headquarters is very happy to be of service to you!” Wind Elemental bowed respectfully and said, “May I ask what kind of service you need?”
“I want to release an information mission!” Qin Lun handed his identity token to the Wind Elemental.
Quests at mercenary headquarters are eligible for restriction, and only urban apostles who are semi-resident or above can issue quests in cities. The wandering apostles and outsider apostles needed to accumulate a certain amount of metropolitan points before they could issue missions at the Corner of the Devil.
“Please follow me!” The wind element led Qin Lun to the counter of an elven beauty and left again.
“I’m glad to be of service to you!” The elven beauty smiled and nodded.
Qin Lun quickly explained his request and released a C-rank mercenary information mission at the mercenary headquarters. His previous judgement was somewhat wrong. Originally, he thought that this information quest did not require much, but after the introduction of the elven beauty, he understood that his information quest must be rated D and above.
The reward for a D-class mercenary mission is at least 5000 broken crystals. The level of the mercenary mission is related to the difficulty of the mission and the level of the apostle. Qin Lun’s bloodline information task wasn’t difficult, but the apostles who knew this information had at least bloodlines, which meant that they needed at least a second-level high-level apostle.
Advanced Second Grade apostles generally take urban missions and rarely browse for options below D level. After thinking for a while, Qin Lun pushed the elven beauty’s mission level recommendation up a notch and listed it as a C-rank information mission with a basic reward of 10,000 broken crystals.
The reason for that was because Qin Lun suddenly realized that the high-level apostles were very unhappy with the reward for the mission of 5000 shattered crystals at the D level. Knowledge was wealth, and judging by himself, he also felt that he would not sell information about the fusion of outsider bloodlines for the sake of 5000 broken crystals.
After setting up the information quest, Qin Lun did not leave the mercenary headquarters immediately. He took some time to browse through the city mercenary quests he could receive. Seeing that they were all guards of some merchant groups and patrolling the city, he gave up.
In fact, apostles like him, who had to perform an alien mission every half a month, rarely accepted ordinary urban mercenary missions. Unless it was a well-paid war mission or a high-level assassination mission, such an apostle would not waste a rare break. As long as they could return safely from the other world every time, they truly did not lack broken crystals.
Coming out of the mercenary headquarters, it was almost dusk in the Evil Demon Corner. Qin Lun was walking along the sparsely populated streets, slowly walking towards the brightly lit entertainment district. Tonight, he will meet the other prisoners at a bar called the Golden Crown Wine Cup.
After arriving at the Golden Crown Wine Cup, a charming demon who was in charge of welcoming the guests brought him into the private room. This is a large private room with a separate bar counter and some leisure facilities. Several inmates were circling a pool table-like leisure facility, while others were playing their favourite cards.
“Welcome, Qin Lun!” Hansen’s deep voice came from behind Qin Lun.
“Haha, Hansen, I heard that you organized this gathering?” Qin Lun smiled and nodded.
“Well, you can do whatever you want! There’s a projector at the bar for everyone to share their experience in foreign missions. This thing has been tampered with. Apart from the apostles, the intelligent races can’t use it. There’s no need to worry about leaking information.” Hansen whispered, “You can record what you’ve seen, leave questions, and watch what others have seen and answered.”
“Not bad!” Qin Lun glanced at his disciples with admiration. Even though he had gained a lot in the Orphan World and the Illusory Demon World, watching other people’s experiences in the quest world was also a good reminder for him.
“Boss Qin Lun, this way, this way!” Lin Feng’s greeting came from afar. Beside him were Xiaolian and the human demon “Lily”.
“Great Devil King Qin Lun, long time no see!” Xiaolian’s big round face was flushed red. It was estimated that a lot of time had passed, and the other two had drank a lot of wine.
“Boss Qin Lun!” Lily was no longer as afraid of Qin Lun as she had been in the past. She even gave him a charming glance.
“She” was now completely dressed as a non-mainstream girl. She wore at least five or six nose rings, lip rings, and earrings on her face. In any case, all the holes that could be pierced were punched. She wore a short skirt and a small vest. On one side of her cheek, there was a red pentagram painted on her face.
“Are you already official apostles? When did you arrive at the Horn of the Abyss?” Qin Lun asked in surprise. When he came to the Horn of the Abyss, they weren’t official apostles and hadn’t been selected by the Moonlight Forest to enter the Horn of the Abyss.
“No, we are not official apostles!” Lin Feng smiled dryly and said, “Moonlight Forest has stayed in the Scorching Plains for a long time. We have received a trial mission to receive a low-level urban mission from the Horn of the Devil!”
“So it’s like this!” Qin Lun looked thoughtfully at the prisoners in the large private room and suddenly asked, “Apart from you, everyone else has undergone an alien mission, right?”
‘”Yes, I heard that three of them failed. Everyone else passed in one go! Other than Fireworks Rand, the four bosses, including you, have gone through two foreign missions. The distance between them and us is getting bigger and bigger!” Lily said dejectedly.
Apart from her, all the prisoners had already crossed the first Otherworldly Mission, and she was actually like Lin Feng and Little Lotus. She hadn’t felt the rejection of the Laws of the Universe until now. One had to know that Lin Feng and Xiao Lian’s identities were different from hers. Originally, they were just ordinary people, but she was one of the prisoners on death row.
This fact had already caused her to be looked down upon by the other prisoners. Even if it was a gathering, no other prisoners were willing to sit with her, so they could only gather together with Lin Feng and Xiaolian to form a table.
“Haha, you should feel lucky. It’s not a good thing to go to another world to perform a mission! The more well prepared you are in the Moonlight Forest, the smoother your first mission will be.” Qin Lun cast a glance at the three of them and reminded them, “When carrying out a mission, you must remember that safety comes first. You haven’t reached the point where you have to risk your lives!”
“Yes, we know!” Lin Feng looked at Little Lotus evasively and secretly poked her with his finger.
“Do you have something to ask me?” Qin Lun’s perception was now 15 points, twice as strong as an ordinary person’s. He immediately noticed Lin Feng’s small movements.
“This … Great Devil King Qin Lun, can we enter the alien realm with you next time?” Xiaolian blushed and asked embarrassedly.
“Carry out an alien mission with me?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and looked at the three of them in surprise.
‘”Yes, the three of us have been performing the city hiring mission at the Corner of the Devil for a while. The city points they accumulated have been exchanged for a temporary team badge …” Lily looked around vigilantly and took out an iron badge from her bosom. She handed it to Qin Lun like a thief.
