“This is good stuff!”
He did not expect that a spirit tool that he had repaired would have such a powerful increase in attributes.
Dina probably did not need the tool. Her fighting style was closer to close combat. Nita, on the other hand, used almost all of her casting skills. With the amplification of this lich scepter, she could be strengthened further.
Immediately, Lorne gave the scepter to Nita as a reward for repairing the spirit weapon. Nita was very happy after receiving the scepter. She shook her head and flew into the space of the magic lamp. She must have gone to show off to her sister. Lorne smiled.
[ You and Nita worked together to repair the spirit weapon. Experience +10, Fetters +1, Elven Intelligence +1 ]
At this moment, the system’s voice rang out. Repairing a spirit weapon would give him experience. Moreover, his experience had increased from 5 points to 10 points. He had also received a fetters point. Most importantly, he had received a point of elven intelligence.
That was great. Lorne was in a good mood. He looked around. It was already late at night. In this world, other than the inner city which was brightly lit, the outer city was almost gray every day. The sun could not be seen, but at night, the moon and the stars could be seen in the sky.
“I’ll spend the night in the wilderness.”
The nearest village was still a few kilometers away from here. Lorne could not be bothered to walk any further. Moreover, the living environment in the village was not good.
Therefore, Lorne directly took out a small tent from his storage space, built it next to a rock, and then drilled into it. Spending the night in the wilderness was actually quite dangerous.
However, Lorne was still quite at ease with the presence of his elf sisters. Lorne’s strength was not to be underestimated too. Today, Lorne had tested it out by himself. Without relying on the elves, he was able to deal with a grade-C demon. With such a strong physique, if others saw it, they would probably be shocked again.
In the tent, Lorne quickly fell asleep. The weather was not cold and Lorne did not cover himself too much. After sleeping for a few hours, Lorne woke up. Sleeping in the wild was not as comfortable as sleeping in the villa.
After waking up, Lorne pulled open the tent. There was already a faint light, indicating that it was morning.
After breakfast, he walked to a stream and washed up. Lorne took out his phone and found a taller stone pier to connect to the signal.
He could now look for the next high-level mission. He looked at it for a while. This time, it took him a few minutes to find a suitable one.
After accepting the mission, Lorne glanced at his messages. There were many new messages, especially in the rookies group chat.
“There’s a powerful demon in the outer city. A large number of spirit envoys have returned to the city. No wonder!”
After reading the news, Lorne understood why there were so many grade-B missions without spirit envoys to clear.
Furthermore, Lorne also found out from the rookie group that his villa had been surrounded by many people over the past few days, and some of them were even asking about him.
“So be it. But those who are asking about me might not be curious. There might be some people with ulterior motives. Looks like I’ll have to be more careful in the future,” Lorne whispered.
‘What a powerful demon. It’s so big outside the city. I must be careful. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?’ Lorne thought.
Then, he continued to read the news. On this day, Lorne discovered that many of the messages were sent to him by a person in the rookie group. Lorne opened it to check.
Cai Xukun: “Brother Lorne, there were three spirit envoys in their thirties that day asking for information about you. I felt that their expressions and tone were not quite right when they spoke. When they went to your villa to observe, their expressions were not quite the same as other spirit envoys. They seemed to be up to something.”
Cai Xukun: “Also, I noticed that they left the city very abnormally yesterday. I heard that some people like to rob or even kill other spirit envoys outside the city. You have to be careful.”
Cai Xukun sent a long string of these messages.
The three spirit envoys would not have thought of it. The fifteen-year-old newbie they asked about that day, the “young kid” in their eyes, actually had good observation skills.
“Someone wants to harm me?”
This piece of news made Lorne raise his guard.
‘A 30-year-old spirit envoy should be a level-3 or -4 spirit envoy, but there are three of them. They might not really want to harm me. Even if they do, they might not be able to find me in such a big place outside the city. Besides, Dina and Nita’s strength have already far surpassed most people.
‘Moreover, in a battle between spirit envoys, the elves aren’t the only factor that determines victory. As long as the elves block them for a moment, my personal strength will be able to kill them!’ Lorne thought for a moment.
As long as they did not reach the stage where they could borrow the power of the elves, the physical attributes of most spirit envoys were average. Even if a few of them had strong bodies, Lorne’s current strength had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary person. An ordinary person would only be instantly defeated by Lorne if they got close to him.
‘If someone did not attack me, I would not attack them. If someone wanted to deal with me, I would naturally have to retaliate harshly. That’s not right.’
Lorne suddenly thought of something and opened the interface of accepting missions on his phone again.
‘It’s so big outside the city and there’s also a powerful demon that has sneaked in. If they really want to harm me and take the risk to leave the city, they definitely won’t look for me everywhere. Instead, they’ll have some means to find me! This means, I’m afraid it’s this!’
Lorne looked at the interface of the Mission Hall. Although the mission accepted in the Mission Hall would not be seen by others, they could check the mission information and the location of the mission!
It was a special period now and there were very few spirit envoys doing missions in the outer city. If someone was interested, they would definitely find clues about their mission location.
Although what the new spirit envoys in the rookie group said might not be true, however, it was definitely better to be careful.
Those three spirit envoys had taken such a huge risk to leave the city. If they really wanted to harm Lorne, they would definitely have the confidence to find Lorne.
The enemy was in the dark and Lorne was in the light. Their methods were very simple in Lorne’s eyes. It was impossible for them to locate Lorne. If they had the ability, why did they have to be so secretive?
However, they had another method, which was to observe the mission interface! After all, the spirit envoys had returned to the base city over the past few days and almost no one had accepted the mission to eliminate the demons, other than Lorne who was still outside the base city.
The three fellows could also observe the mission received through multiple communicators. Through the rough description of the mission, they could know the location of the mission that Lorne had accepted! Then, they could quickly search for it, set up an ambush there, and wait for Lorne!
“Let’s change to another place first.”
Therefore, Lorne quickly found another grade-B mission and walked toward the mission location. However, Lorne did not click on the accept mission. Instead, he went straight to the mission location!
In the past, this would not have worked because grade-B missions were too popular. If Lorne did not accept it, it would be snatched by others within a short period of time.
When others had already accepted the mission, the headquarters would not allow anyone to snatch other people’s missions.
Lorne could also help others eliminate the demons. He would only take the system rewards, contribution points and other things that spirit envoys could take.
However, the problem was that others might be willing to do it and it would also easily attract suspicion. Now, there were missions everywhere, so he could do that.
He would first go over and kill the demon, then accept the mission. As for the previous mission, he would just use it as bait..
