Chapter 81: Third Round Mission Activated!
“The Border Knights camp is up ahead.”
Li Yi pointed at the tents as he spoke.
Clutch King and Snow Chaser nodded slightly when they heard this.
“Bro, is this the mission you mentioned?”
Clutch King asked.
“Yes, it’s here, but the mission hasn’t been completed yet, and we’re only at the end of the second stage.”
Li Yi replied.
“What the h*ll? ! Bro, this is a chain mission! Won’t the experience you get after completing it be super duper high!?”
Clutch King’s face was full of shock.
He was a little surprised that Li Yi would actually bring them on a chain mission. He had read the Divine Revelation guide, and the experience points after completing a chain mission were very high.
If Li Yi had taken it all for himself, he could have directly reached level 20!
“Don’t make a fuss about it, it’s just a mission. You’re my teammates, so it’s only right to bring you along to level up.”
Li Yi rolled his eyes at Clutch King.
If he had a choice, he would not have brought them along. After all, bringing them along was different from training and leveling up on their own.
He did not want the two of them to hide behind him and become useless. He hoped that both of them would be able to take charge on their own should important matters arise.
Otherwise, when the War of the Gods happens in the future, the two of them would not only be useless in their abilities, they would even immediately die from the attacks of the gods.
“Someone’s coming.”
Snow Chaser saw a knight wearing armor with a longsword hanging from his waist walking over.
She reminded the two of them while they talked to stay low.
“Dear Heavy Armor Dragon Knight, you’re here. Sir Myron has been waiting for you for a long time.”
The officer stood straight with a smile on his face and placed his right hand on his left chest. He gave Li Yi a military salute right after.
“I see that we meet again.”
Li Yi also returned the salute.
Clutch King and Snow Chaser watched this scene in shock; they had just heard how the officer had addressed Li Yi and could not hide their expressions.
If they remembered correctly, this seemed to be one of the top hidden professions announced by Divine Revelation.
“May I ask who these two are?”
The military officer looked at Clutch King and Snow Chaser beside Li Yi.
“These two are my companions.”
As Li Yi spoke, he briefly introduced Clutch King and Snow Chaser.
Then, Li Yi said to the officer.
“Actually, I’m in a bit of a hurry, so I shall make haste and meet Sir Myron.”
The military officer nodded and said, “Then you should hurry over as you wish.”
With that, Li Yi brought Clutch King and Snow Chaser to Myron’s tent.
“Sir Myron!”
Li Yi directly opened the tent and led the two of them inside.
Myron, who was overseeing his documents, got shocked by the sudden noise. He then looked up at the three people standing at the door, and his gaze quickly locked onto the person in the middle.
“Ah yes, Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, you’re finally back!”
As soon as Myron saw Li Yi, his furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face as if he was an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.
He stood up and warmly welcomed Li Yi.
“Come, come, sit down,” Myron called out to Li Yi. After Li Yi sat down, he looked at Clutch King and Snow Chaser and said warmly, “The two of you don’t have to be too formal, just sit anywhere you like.”
Hearing this, Clutch King and Snow Chaser looked at Li Yi. Li Yi nodded at the two of them, and only then did the two of them find a seat close to Li Yi.
“Dear Heavy Armor Dragon Knight, are these two your companions?”
After sitting down, Myron asked with a smile.
“Yes, the man’s name is Clutch King, and the woman’s name is Snow Chaser.” Li Yi introduced the two of them, then looked at Clutch King and said, “This is Sir Myron, the General of the Border Knights.”
Snow Chaser was very polite and smiled sincerely. “Hello, Sir Myron.”
“Hello, Sir Myron.”
On the other side, Clutch King smiled slyly.
“Hello there.”
Myron replied with the same smile, and then looked at Li Yi.
“Right! Dear Heavy Armor Dragon Knight, wait for me here, I’m going to get something.”
As he said this, Myron stood up and walked to the corner of the tent in search of something. After a moment, Myron made a sound and put a dusty yellow leather box on the table with both hands.
Myron opened the box and there was a very old sheepskin scroll inside.
“This scroll is a treasure map that has been in my family for many years.”
Myron laughed as he took out the scroll and opened it. He explained, “This treasure map records the location of a key. According to the elders in the family, this key is related to the Emperor City.”
“I see…”
Li Yi looked at the sheepskin scroll and narrowed his eyes.
Based on the way Divine Revelation played out, the key that Myron mentioned should be the key to Emperor City.
“The location recorded in this treasure map is within the Elk Forest. Previously, you have helped me a lot, so I would like to gift this treasure map to you.”
Myron smiled and handed the sheepskin scroll to Li Yi.
“Thank you for your kindness.”
Li Yi directly accepted the scroll.
[System Notification: Ebner’s Letter — complete! The third round of the mission has been activated — Lost Key!]
Hearing the system’s voice, Li Yi looked at Myron and said, “Sir, since the location of this treasure map is in the Forest of Elk, I would like to go and look for it now.”
Hearing that, Myron smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so interested in such a treasure. Then, I shall not hold you back any longer, off you go. I still have a lot of things to deal with here. Forgive me for not being able to host you any longer than this.”
After saying that, everyone stood up. Under Myron’s escort, they left the camp.
“Carefree Dream, where are we going now?” Snow Chaser looked at Li Yi who was holding the treasure map and asked.
Hearing this, Li Yi unfolded the scroll in front of the two of them.
He pointed at the area circled on the map and said, “We’re going to the easternmost part of Elk Forest, which is the place recorded in the treasure map.”
The corners of Clutch King’s mouth twitched slightly, and he could not help but express his thoughts, “This area is a little too big, isn’t it?! How are we going to find such a small key?!”
“It’s okay, we have a mission guide. Just look at the system map and you’ll understand how it works.” Li Yi said indifferently.
Clutch King and Snow Chaser opened the system map and saw a yellow line stretching all the way to the easternmost side of the Forest of Elk.
This was called the mission guide. Almost all treasure-hunting missions in Divine Revelation had a mission guide.
Moreover, because they had teamed up with Li Yi, they had also received the same mission, so a mission guide had also appeared on their system map.
“I see, I thought I would’ve to search that area slowly.”
Clutch King heaved a sigh of relief.
“Alright, let’s not waste any more time, let’s hurry up and set off.”
After saying this, Li Yi took out Deaths Descent from his backpack and took the lead.
Clutch King and Snow Chaser followed closely behind.
…
Elk Forest’s easternmost side.
The three of them stopped.
“Yo, the mission guide map is gone.”
Clutch King said as he looked at the system map.
Hearing this, Li Yi said, “It doesn’t matter, we’re already here.”
“Uh… then what should we do next?”
“Find out if there’s anything special around here, or if there’s a mark or something like that.”
Li Yi said indifferently. After saying this, he took the lead to check the surrounding trees and plants.
After the Divine Revelation mission guide disappeared, they had to start looking around for clues.
This was the experience that Li Yi had accumulated in his previous life.
Seeing this, Clutch King and Snow Chaser also followed suit and started to search.
At that moment, a strange sound came from the bush that Li Yi was searching in.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the bush, its sharp fangs flashed with cold light as it ruthlessly attacked Li Yi.
