Chapter 226 Time and Space Beacon
After Lu Ping agreed to Olma, the system prompted that the "borrowing a private seal" mission had failed. When he received a new mission, he opened the mission panel and saw that it was an S-level hidden mission!

Mission Name: Precious Portrait

Mission description: Olma, the treasure merchant in the city of the abyss, hopes that you can "take" a portrait of Archibald and King Roland from the Twilight Castle. Say it at your own risk, and Olmar will not let you go.

Task reward: 100 gold coins, get the chance to trade with Alma.

Task category: Hidden task (S-level).

Your sister, it's actually an S-level hidden mission, how could it be as easy as Olma said? S-level missions are fatal, and S-level hidden missions are even more fatal!But it was already the next step, and it was the only choice, so Lu Ping could only resist the urge to curse.

Olmar took out a scribbled hand-drawn map, pointed to it and explained: "This is the gate of the castle, with the road in the middle and the moat around it. Here is the library, and here is the king's reception room. There is an elevator in the past, which can reach the second underground floor, and these thin lines represent the second floor, which are the king's training hall, laboratory, and storage room, and what you are looking for is here."

Lu Ping asked, "Is this place open to the outside world?"

"No, of course not. Guests are allowed to visit the first floor. You can sneak to the second floor while the guards are not looking. You can get it easily, but don't go to the third floor... Uh, this map can't Here you go, you have to remember it.”

"What's on the third floor?"

Olma showed a nervous expression, there was no one in the secret room, he still glanced left and right, and then whispered: "I heard that the third floor is the king's secret research room, and there are dungeons, torture rooms, etc. Few people have been there, and I don’t know. Remember, don’t enter the third floor!”

Hearing the word "dungeon", Lu Ping couldn't help being shocked. If the four old lords of Harmondale were imprisoned, they would most likely be in the dungeon!But the third floor must be heavily guarded, and it is not so easy to get in.

Lu Ping looked embarrassed: "This matter is not as easy as you said. Although I can be invisible, they must have a magician who can detect invisibility. It is impossible to sneak in. You can just kill me directly."

"This, this..." Olma rubbed his hands anxiously, turned around a few times, and finally made a decision, "I can lend you a treasure that prevents detection of invisibility, but you have to return it after you use it up." me, and have to get what I need."

Lu Ping was overjoyed: "Okay, as long as your treasure is valid, I will steal it for you!"

A ball of white light flashed in Olma's hand, and a black cloak appeared: "Although this treasure can prevent magic detection, it can't eliminate the sound you make, and it won't help your invisibility ability. If your actions are not cautious enough, you will still be discovered."

[Anti-detection cloak]: This black cloak does not reflect any light. After covering the body, it cannot be seen with detection magic such as true sight and perspective eyes, but it will leave a shadow under direct light. On the contrary, it is not good for stealth.Attribute: Anti-Magic Detection, Quality: Special, Equipment Requirements: None.

Although the function is single and there are shortcomings, it is definitely a treasure for assassins and thieves!Even if Lu Ping's heart fell into his stomach, with this cloak, it is not difficult to steal the painting, and it is possible to sneak into the third underground floor, so he took it without any hesitation.

"But when will Casto see me?"

Olma spread his hands: "I don't know about this, you can go to the Wizards Guild and tell those wizards that you are leaving. If the king wants to see you, he will definitely meet you before you leave!"

"Good idea!" Lu Ping couldn't help but praise, he really couldn't see that the vampire in front of him had such an easy-to-use mind.

When walking out of the secret room, Olmar added: "You have the anti-detection cloak and don't try to steal my things, offend me, you can't leave the city of the abyss alive!"

"Damn, am I like this? After all, I'm also the acting lord of Harmondale, how can I steal from my friends!" Lu Ping looked filled with righteous indignation, but he thought in his heart, it's not you, a "friend" who can't To steal, but not to steal.Olma would safely hand over the anti-detection cloak to him. Of course, there was a way to prevent him from stealing things. Of course, Lu Ping didn't want to offend him at the moment, and he couldn't steal anyone else's.

Olmar nodded: "Yes, we are friends, but you can't tell anyone about our relationship, and don't come in to find me through the main entrance, understand?"

"I understand, I understand, but what is your apparent identity?"

"It's Diya's foreign trade official."

No wonder he has a lot of hands and eyes. He turned out to be a high-ranking official. Someone wanted his private seal, which was probably used for smuggling.

After bidding farewell to his master, Lu Ping went back the same way in stealth, with the reverse detection cloak already on his body.It seems that having a high evil reputation is also good. If you don't have a high enough evil reputation and have stolen the Griffin's Heart, you won't be guaranteed to be here today, let alone know the hidden treasure merchant.

When they arrived at the Wizards Guild, they reported that they had killed Dark Vader and received the reward. The task of stealing private seals had failed, and he was actually fined 40 gold coins.The office staff didn't mention this in advance. Lu Ping didn't know that he would have to pay a fine if the task failed, so he took on a lot of tasks... Forget it, anyway, today's harvest is good, and he doesn't care about the small amount.But he had to do a lot of tasks that he had already received, and if he gave up all of them, he would be fined more money, and it was a bit unreasonable to leave as soon as he arrived in the city of abyss, so Lu Ping continued to do the tasks patiently, killing monsters and collecting materials. , running errands, looking for people and the like.

It took almost a day to complete a total of eleven tasks. The reputation of evil rose to more than 7600, the reputation of justice rose to 7200, and the gold profit was more than 600. It was successfully upgraded to level 37. The harvest was much richer than in Harmondale.

After the upgrade, he got 7 skill points and 5 attribute points. He did not hesitate to upgrade the dark magic to level 7, and with the ring of kings +5, he reached level 12.Now I don’t have to worry about not being able to buy a dark magic book. Of course I have to upgrade this. Dark magic is stronger from level to expert level.

The 5 attribute points of the last upgrade have not been allocated yet, and this time, the total is 10 points, which are all added to intelligence.The fragments of the wisdom of the gods cannot be carried on the body at all times, so some intelligence must be added so that the magic attack power is not too low.

After handing in the task, Lu Ping went to find Mo Shi, and when he passed by a courtyard, he accidentally found a signboard with a picture of a potion bottle on it. Isn't this a pharmacy?
"The temptation of the abyss?" The name of the pharmacy made Lu Ping salivate. This kind of high-end store that only serves internal members must sell good things!
When I walked in, I saw that the layout was not big, there were not many things, and it was a bit messy, similar to a place selling magic books. Necromancers are such virtues.But the quality of these things can make people's eyes drop, either white or black!
The white ones are high-level potions, such as holy healing potions; the black ones are eternal potions, which permanently increase basic attributes by 2 points. You can only see them when you kill the big boss, but they are sold here!
"Welcome, young man, you can choose what potion you want by yourself, you can only buy three bottles a day." The necromancer who sold the goods said without looking up while reading a book.

Looking at the price again, Lu Ping has no voice at all. A bottle of Eternal Power costs 1000 gold coins, Eternal Agility costs 1000 gold coins... 100 gold coins for the holy healing potion, 100 gold coins for the top defense potion, 100 gold coins for the anti-petrochemical potion...

"Fucking shit, adding 2 points to basic attributes costs a thousand gold coins?" Lu Ping kept shaking his head, even if there were too many gold coins to store, he would not come here to spend, and there was a quota, he could only buy three bottles a day .

Medusa will violently dispel the petrochemical potion. Ice Shock Bell is cruel enough. A bottle starts at 100 gold coins. Anything lower than this price will be immediately snapped up by her. In order to kill Queen Medusa, [-] gold coins Someone will buy it too.Unexpectedly, the undead here are even more ruthless, selling [-] gold coins!
Lu Ping turned around and left, but when he came out, he found that there was also a shop opposite, a grocery store selling magic items and scrolls.Although he knew that the prices of the things here were astonishingly expensive, he still wandered in. He could have a look if he didn't buy it, so as to open his eyes.

It really sells high-end scrolls and miscellaneous goods. At a glance, Lu Ping saw two copies of the Gate of Time and Space, and one copy only costs 20 gold coins... Khan, this price is already unattainable for most people. After all, it is only a one-time prop, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan to convert it into RMB!But from Lu Ping's point of view, compared to other items, it is still worth the money.Riding the firebird from the city of the abyss to return to the city of Harmondale would take more than one day, and it would take three to five days to walk, and the three to five days would be used for leveling or making money, and of course it was worth more than 20 gold coins.Even if you can't use it up, you can sell it for more than 20 gold coins in the auction house.

"Boss, I want all the scrolls of the Gate of Time and Space!" Lu Ping yelled loudly, looking like a rich second generation.

The owner of the store still didn't look up: "This store sells all the best products, and the supply is limited. Each person is limited to five pieces per day."

Damn, it's a purchase restriction again!Lu Ping poured out 100 gold coins: "Then give me five gates of time and space, and tomorrow will be the same!"

The store owner finally looked up at him: "The Gate of Time and Space is not the best teleportation magic, there are more advanced time-space beacon scrolls that can be teleported at fixed points, and they only sell for 80 gold coins."

Lu Ping also became curious: "How to teleport at a fixed point?"

The store owner stood up and found a scroll with a gorgeous blue pattern on the outside from the shelf. This scroll was different from other scrolls, and it was two scrolls combined together.

"The gate of time and space can only be used in places where there are no monsters, and can only be teleported to the fountain in the town; the time and space beacon can be used at any time and anywhere. You see it is in duplicate, and tearing one is to set up a teleportation Location, you can immediately return to the place where you set up after tearing off the second copy, except for a very few places protected by magic circles, it is effective, but the time-space beacon has a time limit, the higher the level of water magic skills, the longer the duration, the master level It can last for ten days."

This thing seems to be good. Some areas are very far away, and you can't go there with the gate of time and space, but you have to go a second time, so you can use the space-time beacon.If it can be as cheap as Chinese cabbage, you don't have to run back and forth to do tasks, how efficient!
Lu Ping's heart suddenly moved. He was worried that after finding the four old lords, he would not be able to get out of the city of abyss. If he used the time-space beacon to set up a teleportation point outside, wouldn't he be able to leave the city directly after finding them?God help me too!
"Okay, I want a five-minute space-time beacon!"

The shop owner shook his head: "There is only one space-time beacon, and this top-level scroll is not available every day. It depends on your luck. It may be out of stock for ten and a half months."

Without further ado, Lu Ping bought a Time-Space Beacon and four Time-Space Gates. No matter what, he had to stay here for a few more days and buy more high-level scrolls. They will definitely be of great use in the future, so he left here I don't know when I will have the opportunity to buy such high-end goods.

Although the things here are ridiculously expensive, the task rewards are also very high. He once thought that he was a rich man in the game, and he had at least a few hundred gold coins on him. Not much difference—Khan, there are not even beggars in this kind of place.

After high-level areas such as City of the Abyss are opened to players, the exchange rate of gold coins for RMB will definitely drop significantly. Therefore, in addition to the daily use of gold coins that must be kept, the excess must be exchanged for real currency as soon as possible. This is called foresight. The person in front has the advantage.

The next day when Lu Ping went to the grocery store, he was so lucky that he found three time-space beacon scrolls at once. He bought them without hesitation, but he didn't get the time-space gate.

On the third day, there was no Time-Space Beacon, but I bought five copies of Time-Space Gate... In the past three days or nearly four days, I have earned a lot of gold coins and reputation, and of course I have a lot of experience. I almost reached 39 level, the skill points and attribute points are not allocated for the time being.

During this period of time, a large number of players flooded into Harmondale, and it was inevitable that there would be more people fighting and killing, but fortunately, nothing major happened. After all, players still dare not confront NPCs, and the three major players in Harmondale The guild has some deterrent power, whether it is to kill the boss, to do the task, or to hide evil intentions, they dare not really make a scene.

An Li and Black Hand had already arrived at the highland city. After waiting for a long time, Lu Ping still didn't come. Some local players were hostile to them, so they kept urging them like ghosts. Lu Ping had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​staying any longer.But before leaving, he had to be interviewed by Casto, and enter the Twilight Castle to make a big plan...

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go out of the city to kill monsters, he found a quiet corner away from the "tiankeng", tore open a time-space beacon scroll and set up a teleportation point.

Back in the city of the abyss, when Lu Ping was about to go to Shande to say goodbye, Mo Shi came to him, and said in a hurry as soon as they met: "The leader of the guild, that is, the king, wants to see you. Come with me now."

"Ah...what's the matter?"

It really came at the right time, but seeing Mo Shi's eagerness, Lu Ping became a little worried. Could it be that he showed his feet somewhere, or that the current situation has changed a lot?
Mo Shi said: "I don't know why the king summoned you, but he is a short-tempered person, and he will be angry if he is late, so follow me immediately."

It turned out to be the case, Lu Ping heaved a sigh of relief, and followed Mo Shi out of the wizards' guild, into the city of the abyss, entered through a portal in the northwest, and stepped into one of the most mysterious places on this continent - Twilight Castle.

Another place in the Entagri Continent that can be compared with the Twilight Castle is the Morning Star Castle in the City of Paradise.
