Online game: Space-time Sword God

"Oh? Let me have a look."

Xu Xingchen secretly thought that he was pretty lucky, so he took the two tasks selected from the young woman's hands and checked them out.

【Tianzhu Crystal】

S-level adventure mission

Mission publisher: Abandoned Imperial Military Minister, Duke Nightwind.

Mission goal: Collect 1000 units of Tianzhu Crystal and give them to Duke Nightwind.

Task type: Valid for a long time. You will receive generous rewards every time you turn in 1000 units of Tianzhu Crystal.

This S-level adventure mission is a long-term mission, but the Tianzhu Crystal is not available in the early stage. Xu Xingchen has no choice but to look at another SS-level mission.

【The Grand Duke's Troubles】

SS level adventure mission

Mission Issuer: Grand Duke Gray

Mission objective: Grand Duke Gray’s pet accidentally broke into a low-level secret realm. The maximum entry level of this secret realm is level 79. You need to enter the secret realm to bring back Grand Duke Gray’s pet.

Mission type: Special mission, valid for a long time until someone brings back the pet.

Level 79?

Xu Xingchen's eyes lit up. Although he was only level 40, his attributes were seriously exceeded. In addition, the Eye of Destruction and the divine power of time and space could ignore the level difference of level 40. He had a chance to complete it!

"That's it!"

Xu Xingchen pointed to the only SS-level mission, and the young woman at the front desk quickly took out a mission announcement.

"Lord Jiuyuan, this is a special mission. You need to take this announcement to the mansion of Grand Duke Gray. He will tell you where the secret place is."

Xu Xingchen nodded and took the mission announcement.

[System: You have accepted the special SS-level adventure mission "The Grand Duke's Trouble". Please go to Grand Duke Gray's mansion to start the next stage. 】

I called a carriage directly after going out. The driver naturally knew the residence of the famous Grand Duke Gray.

……

The Imperial Capital of the Abandoned Empire is no worse than the Imperial Capital of the Shenhua Empire. It is equally large in area. There are still no players. The tasks here are too advanced and cannot be completed by today's players.

More than an hour later, Xu Xingchen finally arrived at Grand Duke Gray's residence.

This is an extremely large manor, with a small group of level 200 third-level guards standing at the door. The leader is a level 200 level 4 guardian knight.

"This is the residence of Grand Duke Gray, please leave immediately."

Xu Xingchen showed Jiuyuan's ID and handed out the mission announcement at the same time.

"It turns out to be Lord Jiuyuan, have you accepted this mission?"

The leading guard quickly saluted, took the mission announcement with both hands, and stepped aside to get out of the way:

"Master Jiuyuan, please come in. Grand Duke Gray has been worried about this matter recently. I believe you can solve the Grand Duke's troubles."

Xu Xingchen nodded, stepped into the manor, and led directly to the living room under the leadership of the waiter.

"Sir, please have some tea. I will inform Grand Duke Gray right away."

……

"Lord Jiuyuan, you came just in time!"

Without keeping Xu Xingchen waiting, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked in at a brisk pace.

Eyes of Destruction!

The S-shaped purple-gold crack between the eyebrows opened slightly, and Xu Xingchen saw the face of Grand Duke Gray.

[Grand Duke of the Abandoned Empire-Gray]

Level 3007 Ice Elemental Saint

Undead

life value:? ? ?

Xu Xingchen raised his eyebrows, this Grand Duke turned out to be a peak level 7 existence!

"Grand Duke Gray, our first meeting."

Xu Xingchen stood up and nodded towards the Grand Duke. His level 7 reputation was not lower than that of the other person, so there was no need to salute, but due to the other person's strength, he still needed to be respected.

"Master Jiuyuan, please sit down. I've been really worried to death during this period."

The two sat down, and Gray showed a trace of sadness on his face:

"This damn secret place suddenly appeared in my back garden, and my servants broke in without paying attention to my Huahua."

"But that secret realm restricted the level. For a while, I really didn't have any other options, so I had no choice but to issue a mission in the Adventure Tavern."

"I didn't expect that Master Jiuyuan was invited. Now my Huahua is saved."

Gray's face was filled with joy. He would not underestimate this young man who was only level 40. His name had been recorded several times in the Book of Legends, and now he was valued by the council. He was very likely to help him save Huahua.

"Don't worry, Grand Duke Gray, I will do my best to bring Huahua back to you."

Xu Xingchen took a sip of tea. If he wanted to penetrate into the abandoned empire, he would naturally need to get closer to the senior figures.

"Then thank you Lord Jiuyuan."

Huahua is Gray's favorite pet. He has kept it for many years. Now he accidentally entered the secret realm. Although he can feel through the contract that the other person's life is not in danger, he is still worried.

"I wonder when your lord is going to leave?"

It was obvious that Gray valued his pet Huahua very much. Xu Xingchen stood up directly:

"Go, go now."

Gray was overjoyed and quickly led the way.

The two of them walked all the way to the back garden. Xu Xingchen saw the giant tree in the center of the garden at a glance. It was comparable to the peak level 6 silver pine tree in Silver Pine City!

However, Xu Xingchen didn't feel any strong power from it.

Eyes of Destruction!

The eyes of Broken Eyebrow opened slightly, but there was still no reaction. This should be an ordinary big tree.

Xu Xingchen withdrew his gaze and looked towards the giant tree. There was a white vortex spinning slowly, which was the entrance to the secret realm.

This is a special secret realm. It is different from the Trial Secret Realm. The latter is randomly placed by the Hall of Glory or the Chaos Council, but the former is naturally generated. No one knows what is inside before entering.

There is no specific level classification for this kind of secret realm, and it is unknown how dangerous it is and whether the rewards are rich.

"This tree has been growing here for tens of thousands of years!"

Grand Duke Gray introduced:

"My manor was originally built around this giant tree."

Xu Xingchen nodded and looked towards the entrance of the secret realm.

"This is it, right? After I go in and find Huahua, how can I get her to follow me?"

"The adults will naturally know when they see Huahua, and she will be obedient."

Gray smiled mysteriously and did not answer Xu Xingchen's question. He walked slowly to the vortex and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

"Lord Jiuyuan, please, I will be here waiting for your triumphant return! I will definitely give you generous rewards when the time comes!"

Xu Xingchen felt that the other party was a little confused, so he glanced at him and stepped into the vortex. In any case, he had to complete this task first, and the matter of infiltrating the abandoned empire had to be planned slowly.

[System: The special SS-level adventure mission "The Grand Duke's Trouble" has entered the second stage. Please find Grand Duke Gray's favorite pet Huahua in the secret realm. 】

The system prompt sounded, and a burst of white light flashed in front of Xu Xingchen's eyes, and he entered the secret realm.

[System: You have entered the level 80 secret realm - Singers' Jungle. 】

(ps: I drank fake wine yesterday. I feel so uncomfortable today. It’s only 6000.)
