Chapter 72 Honorable NPC
The four of them took the ten gold coins they had scraped together and went to the Tiefling Exchange, where they bought the [Mysterious Invitation].

When Singo handed the yellow gold coins to the tiefling merchant, Mantou's expression looked extremely distressed. He thought to himself: How many pieces of equipment can I buy with this, you prodigal son!
The invitation in my hand seemed heavy.

They all arrived at their rented cottage and opened the invitation with great anticipation.

The paper inside had goose yellow lines on it. It was a thin piece of paper and seemed no different from ordinary paper, but the words on it were all written by burning flames and kept flickering.

There was only one short sentence on it:

【You will meet the most honorable person here. 】

"Is it so important?"

"It seems that I made the right bet this time. At least I can get my money's worth."

Looking at the small words on the invitation, Mantou was full of anticipation.

Singo's expression was normal: "I've said it before, spending so much money to get the quest item will definitely bring a lot of benefits."

The natural warrior chuckled and said, "Come on, stand still. I'm ready to use you."

"it is good."

[Confirm to use the [Mysterious Invitation]! ]
Suddenly, the space in front of the four people began to ripple, then gradually twisted and cracked, forming a door-shaped space crack. There was a raging flame burning around the crack, just like the "door frame" of this dimensional door.

"Holy crap, a portal? It's so advanced?"

Mantou exclaimed.

Up to now in the game, no magic profession has developed a teleportation skill. Not to mention the mages who can't learn anything without scrolls, even the warlocks who are now called "real wizards" don't have this advanced ability.

Xia Ye Qiu Yu and Tian Sheng Zhan Kuang were naturally very surprised. Even Singo, who always had a sullen face, was a little excited.

However, he still reminded: "The item description says that there may be danger or reward behind the door, so we must be fully prepared first."

"That's true. Don't get in and get wiped out after all the hard work."

Mantou nodded.

"Blessing spell!"

On a summer night, Qiu Yu waved his wooden stick, and rays of light descended, bathing everyone in them.

This spell can allow the recipient to gain an advantage in attack and immunity checks, and can be considered a panacea for priests in the early stages.

"Healing Potion, Poison Resistance Potion, Dragon Poison, Slippery Oil, Precision Oil."

Singo took out item after item from his backpack and introduced them one by one, and soon the items piled up into a small mountain.

"Where did you get so many things?" Mantou couldn't help but ask.

In this early stage of resource scarcity, many new players couldn't even get together a set of the most common equipment, and couldn't even beat the geese raised by the tiefling aunt next door. But Singo was able to save so much.

"Watch more, practice more, and work harder."

Singo just said it calmly.

Mantou finally understood the extraordinary qualities of these top professional players. In this regard, he had to admit defeat and could only bow down to them - referring to the aspect of pretending to be cool.

After applying oil to his weapons and armor, placing potions for various situations in his backpack, and making a series of preparations, Singo was finally ready to go. However, he looked very bloated at the moment, which could be described as a dream for those who support strength and a nightmare for those who support appearance.

"let's go."

"Row."

The four of them stepped into the mysterious flame portal.

A wave of heat hit us, and it seemed to leave a mark on everyone's face.

"Damn, why is it so dark?"

"This is where?"

"It seems a bit hot."

"Qiuyu, cast a light spell, we can't see clearly."

"Okay." Xia Ye Qiu Yu raised his wooden staff and began to cast spells.

"Lighting Technique!"

A faint light emanated from one end of the wooden staff.

Although the light was relatively dim, it was enough for the four people to barely see the surrounding environment.

Now they were in a dark and narrow rock tunnel. The air in the tunnel was inexplicably stuffy. There was nothing around them except hard rock walls, and the passage led to an unknown dark place.

"What should we do? Should we continue to go inside?"

The long and narrow rock tunnel made Mantou feel a little depressed, and even the light magic could not make him feel at ease.

Singo gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Now that we are here, we can't just go back. It's all in!"

They moved forward cautiously along the passage.

Finally, the four people seemed to have walked out of the tunnel, and the space in front of them was much wider.

“It should be here.”

"Everyone please be alert and report anything you find."

But the lighting magic could no longer illuminate the rock wall, and it was dark all around. Noises could be heard from the huge dark cave from time to time, making everyone even more nervous and sweating.

Suddenly, an unknown light appeared, followed by more light.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the sound of flames burning in the air came, hundreds of exquisite oil lamps in the shape of dragon heads were lit one after another along the rock wall, illuminating the surrounding darkness and allowing the four people to see the entire picture of this extremely spacious cave.

Waves of heat were coming.

A wide road suddenly appeared in front of them, with blazing fires on both sides of the road.

And at the end of the road, there is a man.

He has black hair, golden eyes, and delicate features. Deep in his dark golden pupils is a reflection of a blazing flame, and there is a hint of arrogance that runs deep in his blood. Scarlet scales are faintly visible on both sides of his face, and on his forehead grow long, bone-white dragon horns.

His tall body was draped in a luxurious dark red robe inlaid with gold thread patterns, and his whole body exuded a noble and irresistible unique temperament.

Xia Ye Qiu Yu couldn't help but blush a little, and exclaimed: "Ah, this official model is so beautiful."

Mantou complained: "Damn, is this NPC Gouba so handsome? He's almost as handsome as me."

Xia Yeqiuyu on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Singo urged, "Mantou, throw a detection quickly, we must have met an important person."

"Oh well."

Mantou said subconsciously, and then skillfully called up the panel.

[The mysterious dragon vein sorcerer - Cassius]

Affiliation: [Burning Nest]

basic ability:???
Challenge Level: ? ? ? (Extremely dangerous!)

Favorability: -5 (mild dislike)
Mantou just recalled it and couldn't help cursing, "Gou Ba Xin Gou, you screwed me again, my favorability rating dropped again!"

Singo heard his own insults and still had that expressionless face: "Everyone will remember your sacrifice. What do you think, Mantou? What did you see?"

Mantou shook his head: "I can't see anything. The information is all unknown."

Singo clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Great! We finally found it."

"According to my observation, in the entire city of Batto, only [Sword of the Forsaken - Medoras] cannot see the challenge level. Others, such as Guard Captain Damakos, can see the challenge level. And since we found this second important NPC first, we can definitely -"

However, a steady male voice suddenly came from a distance, interrupting his endless chatter.

"To all the invited guests, is it not polite to detect them as soon as you meet them?"
