The Death List Novel - Chapter 182
Chapter 182 Esmira
“Your Excellency Sass, Mrs. Cora, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Walking into the teleportation hall, Qin Lun saw his two “teammates” from afar.
“You’re late!” The tall man known as Sass lowered his head and glanced at Qin Lun. Then, he whispered to his wife Cora again, ignoring Qin Lun.
Qin Lun was calm towards Sass’s disdainful attitude. He did not show any anger on his face and his smile became gentler.
Sass and Cora were a couple. They were also humans. However, they weren’t humans parallel to space and time on Earth. Instead, they were Esmillans.
Esmira is tall and large, with men averaging more than 2.2 meters tall and women averaging more than 2 meters tall. Their facial features resemble those of humans on Earth, and their organs function roughly the same. However, their skin is sea-blue, and they can breathe in water and photosynthesize.
More than 90 percent of the surface area of Esmira is covered by the ocean. Esmira is a vivid organism that can live underwater. They built large underwater cities on the quiet seabed, similar to the Earth Federation where Qin Lun lived.
However, the Esmira have evolved ahead of the humans on earth. Men are physically strong, while women have excellent mental strength. They are also able to photosynthesize on the surface, essentially replacing the savage way of eating in the mouth.
In the Esmira civilization, magic and technology existed side by side. Many of the city-state leaders were high-ranking creatures of the legendary class. Actually, the overall environment of Esmira had almost reached the standards of the Middle Demon World. There were many Esmira people in the Corner of the Abyss, as well as their apostles and apostle teams that were parallel to space and time.
Although the origin of the original race was not important after becoming an apostle, the Esmira people always had an inexplicable sense of superiority in front of the humans on Earth, and they did not think that humans on Earth could be compared to themselves. Many Esmira people unconsciously show racial discrimination when they see Earth people who belong to the same human race.
If Hill hadn’t used an anonymous consignment to auction off temporary spots for the guild, the Esmira couple wouldn’t have considered buying temporary spots for the guild.
Sass and Cora had already crossed five mission worlds in the Broken Star System, and both of them had successfully changed professions in their previous mission worlds. However, their apostle titles were still only First Grade and Third Grade.
The reason for this strange phenomenon was because the combat professions that Sass and Cora had changed professions had not been officially recognized by the Broken Star System. Instead, they had a profession name with the prefix “prepare”. The so-called preparatory profession was that the apostle’s ability had already reached the combat profession standard, but his contribution points had yet to meet the profession standard.
Of course, the combat profession with the “Prepare” prefix also received all of its enhanced attributes. Apart from not being officially recognized by the Shattered Universe, its combat strength was no different from that of a professional apostle.
Before Sass entered the shattered starry sky, he was a city-state patrol policeman on Planet Esmira, and his wife Cora was his colleague. The Esmira Star people had outstanding qualities. In addition, Sass and Cora had received good training in military magic. They were able to successfully change professions in the five mission worlds. The Laws Body had basically inherited their original combat abilities.
However, in the eyes of the intelligent races and high-ranking apostles of the Horn of Devils, Sass and Cora’s apostles were not outstanding. The Esmira race’s sense of racial superiority, apart from themselves, was completely inexplicable to intelligent races and high-ranking apostles. In terms of racial talent, could the Esmira be as powerful as the Abyss Devils?
In the first few quest worlds, the quests given to all beginner apostles were about the same level of difficulty. With the Sass couple’s physical foundation and combat ability, the five mission worlds had only entered the first level and the third level. They could only be said to be ordinary and not surprising.
Moreover, Sass and Cora’s mission interval was one and a half months, barely at the average level. If it dragged on for two months, it would basically be equivalent to an impoverished apostle struggling on the subsistence line.
Sass and Cora purchased the temporary spots for the Black Iron Team in order to shorten the time between missions and reach the second rank as soon as possible. The second level of apostleship was basically the entry criteria for most mid-level apostleship teams.
Originally, Hill and Hansen weren’t planning to drag people into the guild, because there were only a day or two left before the three of them could enter the mission world. However, after hearing Qin Lun’s information, the old fox Hill was keenly aware that there might be apostles with longer mission intervals who needed their temporary quotas to shorten the mission intervals.
As a result, they tried to release information on the city mercenaries, but in the end, they really attracted a lot of temporary buyers.
Sass and Cora were chosen by Hill from all the buyers. On the surface, Sass was a Constitution MT and Cora was a ranged attack mage. They complemented the team. Only Hill and Hansen knew what their true intentions were.
Sass and Cora were originally unwilling to join an Earthly Black Iron Team, but after Hill and Hansen took out some temptations, they finally pinched their noses and considered cooperating with the three Earthly Humans in a mission world.
Thanks to Sass and Cora’s participation, the three great murderers, who had already felt the rejection of space and time, now had an extra week to rest and recuperate. Hill and Hansen were naturally overjoyed and stepped up their hunting activities.
When the mission time approached again, the two of them had relieved their resource constraints to a large extent. They had prepared recovery items worth more than 100,000 yuan, and even generously packed them up for Qin Lun.
Looking at these recovery items, Qin Lun could only sigh speechlessly. At most, only half of the 100,000 recovery items were their own resources. There were probably many vengeful souls wrapped around the other items.
Of course, Qin Lun knew that these two fellows were worried that he would change his mind temporarily, so he immediately accepted the items without any politeness. He only vaguely reminded the two of them to slow down their “rhythm” and not attract too much attention.
The shepherds and disciples immediately humbly accepted the lesson and began to seriously discuss how often it would be appropriate to “relax”, causing Qin Lun to secretly curse.
“Qin Lun, we’re here!” Just as Qin Lun was pondering, Hill and Hansen came together.
“Hmph, Earth people just don’t have a sense of time!” Sass flipped his golden pupils and deliberately muttered loudly.
“Forget it, Sass, don’t worry too much about it!” Cora grabbed her husband’s arm and said peacefully. However, there was an unconcealable arrogance in her tone. In her opinion, her husband and wife agreeing to stay in this black iron guild was equivalent to helping these three Earthlings with their missions.
“Sorry, both of you, let’s go in!” Hill’s smile did not change and he sincerely apologized. Even the hot-tempered Hansen didn’t seem to want to argue with Sass. He just faked a grin and apologized.
Qin Lun sighed from the side. There was nothing to argue about with the dead.
He really didn’t know how the Sas had managed to survive five mission worlds, and Hill didn’t care. Ordinary people really couldn’t see through the shepherd’s hypocritical beliefs. However, Hansen, a wise man, knew at a glance that he was not a faithful man, so how could he team up with such a person?
Purchasing temporary quotas to shorten mission intervals is a good idea, but it doesn’t mean entering the mission world with the team. After feeling the rejection of time and space, they could leave their guilds and enter different mission worlds on their own.
“What method did you use to trick them into entering the same mission world!” Thinking of this, Qin Lun couldn’t help but ask Hansen.
“I’ll tell you in detail when we enter the mission world!” Hansen looked at Sass and Cora’s back and turned his head in disdain, “Don’t scare them away. These days, such a pig is hard to find!”
Because Hansen wasn’t good at words, Qin Lun’s style was loose. The current leader of the team was nominally Shepherd Hill. However, Hill wisely gave up the management authority and divided the guild warehouse into two parts, one for the three murderers and the other for the Sass couple.
As for member management privileges, no one can change members until the next mission world. Everyone can exit freely. Of course, the Sars already had a contract stipulating that there was only one mission world member.
