The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 468 The Unforeseeable Prophet
Xu Lai looked at the sinister smile on the goat's head and felt that things were not that simple.
However, the scroll was in Xu Lai's hand.
As a hero, he can clearly read all the information in this scroll.
As a mission item, since Goat Head has already taken it out, as long as Xu Lai completes the mission, the reward cannot be changed.
Then, this goat head must be up to something on the mission itself!
Xu Lai guessed that this guy would definitely not issue the mission well.
But what he didn't know was that the mission reward taken out by the goat's head was itself a trap.
There is no requirement for the user to use the ninth-level professional scroll. It is defaulted to be used by whoever tears it open.
If Xu Lai accidentally breaks this scroll, his original hero profession will also be transferred to a level 9 profession.
There is no public opinion in this world about who is more powerful, a hero or a level 9 professional.
But there is one thing. Except for a few universal treasures, most of the treasures cannot be worn by non-heroes.
Of course, professionals have more powerful artifacts.
Divine weapons are definitely not as powerful as treasures in strengthening the troops, but they are definitely more powerful than treasures in strengthening combat effectiveness.
As a prophet, Goat Head knows many secrets, including the hatred between Xu Lai and the stronghold.
Otherwise, according to the neutral relationship between the stronghold and the empire, there is really no need for him to deliberately target Naaru.
It was entirely because the goat head knew that the hero in front of him was a stronghold and the life and death enemy of all orcs.
But once Xu Lai changes his profession to a level 9 profession, no matter how powerful he is individually, he will no longer be a threat to the stronghold.
A high-level hero is far more terrifying than any profession.
"As for the mission, the underground city has been very unstable recently. Uninvited guests have built a new city underground, disturbing the lives of underground residents.
As long as you destroy this newly built city and eliminate all the troops in this city, you will complete the mission. "
Then, the goat head took out another scroll and handed it to Xu Lai.
This is a detailed mission goal, with three main conditions that must be met.
[Side Mission]: Restoring the dungeon to its former tranquility.
Mission objective: Destroy a newly built human city located at coordinates: (703, 1011).
Mission requirements: 1. Destroy the heart of the city.
2. Destroy the troops guarding the city:
Infantry: 0/2000
Shooter: 0/1000
Rest of units: 0/500
3. Kill the defender of the city, the level 36 shooter general (0/1).
Mission reward: Level 9 career transfer scroll*1.
Task period: 30 days. (29 days left)
Punishment for mission failure: credibility reduced, reputation reduced by 1000 points, friendliness of all creatures in the dungeon reduced by 10 points.
Xu Lai glanced at it and found that the difficulty should not be very high. In total, he only needed to kill 3,500 units of soldiers and one guard.
But this mission target became more and more familiar to Xu Lai.
However, neither the name of the city, nor the guarding troops, nor even the guarding generals appeared.
Watching Xu Lai unroll the scroll, a gloomy smile appeared on the goat-headed face again:
"Human hero, what are you waiting for? Follow this mission instruction and complete your mission."
Xu Lai frowned and said, "Who told you that I was going to complete this mission?"
The goat head laughed and said: "No one told me, but you have taken the initiative to accept the task. If you fail to complete it, you will be punished by the task."
Xu Lai frowned again, still being fooled by this old guy.
The old guy deliberately did not tell him the content of the mission, but directly handed him the mission scroll, so that as soon as he opened it, he accepted the mission by default.
Xu Lai picked up the mission scroll and took another look. The mission scroll was very standard. It not only stated the mission rewards, but also the punishment for mission failure.
Xu Lai himself couldn't see the credibility thing. The reputation value dropped by 1,000 points. The punishment was quite severe, but it was nothing to Xu Lai.
He had killed so many big shots, and his reputation value had already exceeded 10,000. Losing 1,000 points was nothing at all.
In the end, all the creatures in the dungeon had a friendliness of 10 points, not to mention Xu Lai.
All the punishments for failing the mission can't scare him, so what does it matter whether the mission is completed or not.
Besides, Xu Lai could definitely afford to wait for the full 30 days.
Others are protected by rules, and Xu Lai has nothing to do no matter how unwilling he is.
After walking out of the mushroom hut, Xu Lai looked at the scroll in his hand depressedly, wishing he had not come here.
Xu didn't quite understand the coordinates on the mission scroll, but there were people around him who could understand them.
Not long after leaving the mushroom hut, Xu Lai handed the scroll in his hand to Giselle.
Giselle spread it out, frowned, looked at the coordinates again and said:
"This seems to be the coordinates of Mingyue City!"
Xu Lai said: "Do you think so too?"
Giselle frowned and said, "I'm not sure yet, I have to let Brother Jian come and take a look."
Xu Lai snorted and said: "No need to confirm, that guy is the prophet of the stronghold. My relationship with the stronghold is now a mortal enemy. How can he make it easy for me?"
Xu Lai was very unwilling to be tricked like this.
But there is nothing he can do if he doesn't give in. With the protection of the rules, Xu Lai can't hurt the opponent at all, unless the rules can be temporarily disabled.
Thinking of this, Xu Lai's eyes lit up, and he took out the ultimate treasure, the gate key, which he had just obtained from the Dragon Kingdom yesterday, from his space backpack.
This treasure has two effects. One is to close the city gate, which is equivalent to protecting the entire city for 5 days.
The other one opened the city gate, but this city gate was more than just a city gate.
It also includes outdoor buildings that were previously inaccessible, such as places with level restrictions such as libraries, which can be entered with this key.
But it only allows Xu Lai to enter, and it does not allow Xu Lai to obtain the special effect of adding 2 to all attributes again.
Because using it to enter the wild building will temporarily turn off all functions of the wild building.
Xu Lai didn't know whether turning off all functions would invalidate the rules in the prophet's cabin, but he was willing to give it a try.
Even if it fails, it is just a loss of an ultimate treasure that can only be used once. The value of this treasure is the lowest among the several ultimate treasures.
To be on the safe side, Xu Lai didn't let Giselle and the others get close, lest the damn orc prophet take advantage of the rules again.
Due to the rules, the Prophet cannot attack heroes, but it does not mean that he cannot attack other people. The previous Naaru is an example.
After Xu Lai left, the small door of the mushroom hut had closed automatically.
However, the small door was not locked. If Xu Lai wanted to go in, he could push the door open again at any time.
But in that case, it is inevitable to continue to be restricted by the rules.
So Xu Lai was at the door and took out the door key.
The door key was very large. Even if Xu Lai held up his palms, he could not completely cover the key. After all, it could be used to open and close the city gate.
But when Xu Lai reached for the key to the door lock of the prophet's cabin, the door key was shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the door key shrunk to the size of Xu Lai's finger, it was successfully inserted into the door lock.
Xu Lai twisted it gently and heard a click. The door key successfully turned the door lock of the prophet's cabin.
The orc prophet in the room looked very confused and looked at Xu Lai who walked in confusedly.
"What are you doing here again?"
Xu Lai smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you a prophet? Didn't you foresee my return?"
With the protection of the prophet's hut, the goat head was not afraid. He said calmly:
"The prophet can only see a fragment of the future that has little to do with him. If he is omniscient and omnipotent, how can the gods allow us to exist?"
Xu Lai nodded and said, "So, the reason why you are targeting me so much is because you have seen clips related to me."
The goat head sat calmly on the mushroom stool, poured himself a cup of hot drink, and said slowly:
“That’s right, I saw more than just one piece of you.
I saw you using the bones of our orcs to achieve your goals, and I also saw you defeated and died, with your flesh and blood being eaten by others. "
Xu Lai's hand holding the sword shook slightly, but the goat's head closed its mouth at this moment.
Seeing Xu Lai's brows furrowed but helpless, the goat head laughed loudly and said:
“One thing about us prophets is that we can deceive people about anything, but we can never deceive people about our prophecies.
However, our prediction is not 100% accurate. Maybe you will give up your enmity with the orcs and live a long and peaceful life. "
Xu Lai sneered and said: "Now, I'm afraid you orcs are unwilling to let me go!
For example, you trick me and ask me to destroy my city and massacre my troops. "
The goat head smiled and said: "The orcs are unwilling to let you go because there is already a deep hatred between you.
But you still have a chance to change everything. At worst, you can hide. There are many people in history who have successfully avoided their fate.
As for my mission, I didn't ask you to kill them all, just to recruit soldiers.
Do you know how many of you human nobles will be willing to sacrifice your own soldiers and horses if you take out this ninth-level job transfer scroll?
They are even willing to sacrifice their relatives and loved ones together. "
Xu Lai took two steps forward, nodded and said, "Maybe what you said is right, but you have found the wrong person."
Having said that, the Prophet's Sword was decisively unsheathed, and this time the prayer for the Holy Light finally arrived as promised.
The golden light falling from the sky instantly blinded the eyes of the orc prophet.
He raised his arms and covered his eyes with the sleeves of his cassock.
But even with this block, he couldn't see the flash of sword light.
Until his head fell to the ground, the goat's head looked at Xu Lai with a look of disbelief on his face.
The Prophet's Sword is indeed a super treasure. When the sword hits the owl's head, there is not even a trace of blood on it.
As the prophet fell, the entire mushroom house immediately began to collapse, turning into a pile of ruins in the blink of an eye.
"It's a pity that you have only seen the fate of others, but not your own." (End of Chapter)
