BXBX NOVEL Chapter 528 Bedrock City
From MC\'s perspective:
We came to the flower garden. Which is located in front of the building. After taking a few steps, I turned to them and asked,"What is it?"
"Can you tell me now?"
Right now, apart from the three of us, no one is taking a walk in the garden.
"Faction Head gave us a mission. Three of us have to complete it," Ernest replied.
"What?"
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.
"Carlos Kent," I said in my heart. The bad premonition came true after all. My eyes flickered with a cold glint for a second.
As I guessed, that guy has arranged a mission for me. But what about these two?
I looked at Ernst and Laverne. Seriously, something is wrong with the mission. But I can\'t tell what it is?
And I don\'t want to alarm these two.
"Zack, what are you thinking?" Laverne asked.
Hearing that my thoughts returned to reality.
"Ahem, I don\'t have lightning reserve right now," I answered, shocking both of them.
But I wasn\'t surprised by their reaction. My situation is troublesome. Unless, I can find other resource points. It\'s difficult to start the practice.
Ernest\'s expression turned ugly. It\'s not like he isn\'t aware of Zack\'s difficulties. But this time he truly forgot about his situation.
Laverne\'s expression becomes dull. The faction head clearly wanted three of them to participate.
"Cough"
I coughed to break the dull atmosphere.
"Alright, I\'ll come. But can you tell me what\'s the mission?" I asked.
Ernest nodded before slowly speaking about the mission.
A few minutes later,
"BedRock City, uh?"
A trace of confusion appeared in my eyes.
Ernest saw through Zack\'s thoughts. He is aware of Zack\'s background.
"The bedrock city is an independent city. No academy has jurisdiction over there. It\'s jointly ruled by top forces over there," Ernest explained.
"Yeah, I also heard that the city is a safe haven for rogue warriors. As long as they have money, they can stay in the city," Laverne added.
Hearing that confusion in my heart got cleared. No wonder he wants us to capture criminals. Maybe the target is living in that city.
But still I\'m not feeling good about this. Then I removed the unnecessary thoughts before looking at them.
"Alright, I\'ll join you guys for the mission. But can you give me some credit points?" I asked.
Laverne and Ernest looked at each other.
"Okay, I\'ll send you a few thousand," Ernest replied without asking too much.
"Well, I\'ll give you as well," Laverne said, she can tell that Zack wants to buy from the treasure house.
After receiving the points from them, we talked for a few more minutes. Then we parted ways.
Instead of going to the dorm room. I stride towards the treasure house.
When I realized that something was off with a mission. I decided to cover my weakness. Though, I don\'t have purple essence. But I can fight the enemy using my body strength.
It\'s not like a solo mission. I don\'t want to expose too much in front of them. The only thing that can help me right now is the Soul technique.
I can kill warriors using the soul attack. And this won\'t cause too much suspicion. After figuring it out, I increased my pace.
Several minutes later,
I arrived before the treasure house. Thankfully, this treasure office is open all day.
Feeling my presence an old man walks out.
The next moment, I felt an unknown pressure radiating from the old man.
Then I understood the old man might be the powerhouse, it\'s just that he is reaching his end of the year slowly.
"Who are you kid?"
"What do you want?" The old man asked.
His words pulled me back to reality.
"Ahem, elder. I want to buy a secret weapon," I replied with a smile.
Hearing that, the old man stretched out his hand and asked me to enter.
I nodded my head and walked in.
When I walked into the room. I saw the weapons placed in the rack. There are different types of weapons.
My eyes immediately scanned the weapons one by one. But there is no secret weapon on this floor.
Seeing that I asked the old man about the needle weapon.
"Needle Weapon," The old man\'s eyes lit up with surprise.
Normally warriors use swords and sabers. But this young man asked for the needle weapon.
Then he nodded his head and guided the young man to the 2nd floor.
When we arrived at the 2nd floor. My eyes immediately set on the unique weapon.
It\'s a pair of needle weapons. After walking up to the rack, I started to observe this fine made weapon.
"It\'s made of special grade iron ore," The old man said.
"Such treasures are used to make spiritual type weapons. But you\'re lucky, the needle was made of treasure as well," The old man added further.
Hearing that my eyes flickered with surprise glint. This needle weapon is suitable with my soul technique.
"Elder, I want this one," I replied.
Hearing that elder nodded his head before proceeding to the transaction.
Then I spend the borrowed credit points to buy this weapon.
After getting the pair of cold needles, I started to walk back to the dorm room. Unfortunately, I don\'t have enough time to practice with it.
I have to leave tomorrow morning for the mission.
The following day,
After getting up, I started to do my morning routine. Then I entered the training room to cultivate several minutes later.
Sitting down cross-legged, I brought the monster core and held it in my palm.
Then I started to run the blood element method. The next moment, the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker.
Slowly, I started to absorb the monster core energies into my body. When the energies entered my body, I guided the energy according to the blood element method.
After circulation, the red light appears above my blood. The red light immediately started to absorb the monster energies and converted them into white energies.
After the process, the white energies began to drill into my bones.
The next second, I felt the heart wrenching pain. But I soon recovered my bearing and started to continue the process.
The red color started to cover other parts of my skeleton.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After 2 hours, I finished my cultivation and opened my eyes. The monster core in my hands crumbles into pieces.
Then I got up and left the room.
20 minutes later,
After getting ready, I walked out of the dorm building.
Soon, I meet others at the gathering point. Which is our beautiful garden.
"Zack, are you ready?" Laverne asked.
Hearing that I nodded my head at both of them. Then we walked to the transit area.
After arriving at the transit area, we booked an aircraft. The aircraft is fast and secure. Unlike the Viper City, the bedrock city is an independent one.
It\'s not wise to use monster carriages to fly over that city.
Shortly after, we boarded the aircraft and left for the bedrock city.
At the same time, the Special Faction Head got the news about the trio\'s departure. Then he sent a confirmation to the Giant Tower Head.
Meanwhile,
The bedrock city is a unique city which is surrounded by mountains on four sides. Which provides natural security to the city.
At this time, the number of rogue warriors entering the city is higher than usual. If it continues, it might set a new record.
Unlike other major cities, where they have got the City Lord to govern. Here the city is governed by the seat of elders. The elders from the top forces residing in this city.
To maintain the stability and economy of the city. They will group together to discuss from time to time.
Unknownst to them, something major is going to happen today.
At first the entry of the warriors didn\'t attract that much attention. But as time went on, the natives started to notice something.
Usually the rogue warriors come in single or in two. But this time many groups are spotted coming to this city.
The natives know there is not even any auction happening today. Soon the eyeliners appointed by the seat of elders started to collect information.
Whenever there is a major incident. The information provided by the eyeliners played an important role.
The rogue teams which are entering the city start to book in immediately. They don\'t seem to come for any other purpose.
This pattern was repeated with other rogue teams as well.
Among the eyeliners some of them are inn owners. When they found something unusual. They tried to collect information as much as possible.
As such in one certain inn. An unruly rogue group starts to talk about their secret task.
"Man, there is going to be a lot of competition today," A scar-faced warrior uttered. As the surrounding tables are occupied by similar rogue teams as well.
His words caused a small commotion. As it was heard by other groups.
