Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 418 Mission Hall
Instead of rushing back to the Feng residence, Li Wei went directly to the very center of Weir City, where a massive mage tower stood atop a mountain, surrounded by magnificent palaces.

Last time, he didn't even have the confidence to go, but now he needs to go and see.

Of course, this isn't a special area. All civilians in Vil City are eligible to enter. The only difference is that this area has two mission halls. Basically, all non-mandatory missions and time-limited mandatory missions have to register and queue here.

Of course, the last pioneering mission was an exception.

The carriage traveled for about twenty minutes before arriving at the area. My first impression was that it was very large and very tall.

Because the original city of Ver was a fortified city built on a mountaintop, and you can still see those majestic city walls that may have been built hundreds of years ago.

Now these city walls have been expanded and transformed into huge buildings. The offices of the four departments of the Wil Province are located here, as are the headquarters of the Lion Knights of Wil Province. In addition, the branch of the Spellcaster Association of the Kingdom of Locke is also located here. In the very center, there is a mage tower that is over a hundred meters high, like a skyscraper, which is said to be four-star.

You can see the overwhelming magic net spreading out from the sky and gradually disappearing.

Li Wei observed carefully, feeling greatly shocked, but also wondering when his own territory's main city would have such a magnificent scene.
That's too extravagant.

This core area alone has a circumference of ten kilometers, and it is a level 5 city wall.

The interior of the city walls has now been completely filled with four-star rocks, turning it into a huge plaza.

Most people might not understand this operation, but Li Weiyi understood it immediately because these were all resources.

It's like a wealthy landlord burying his money jar in the cellar.

However, what Duke Will wanted to store was not a simple money jar, but various resources.

Li Wei could even sense that beneath these four-star rocks lay precious humus soil, enough to grow four-star wheat.

We don't need it now, but we definitely will in the future.

This is no joke.

All of this needs to be written down in a little notebook.

Li Wei stepped up the stairs to the spacious square, which was divided into three paths.

One of the paths leads straight up to the mountaintop, directly towards the Master's Pagoda.

One road to the left leads to the upper four parts of the Ver Province, while the other road to the right leads to the Ver Province Mission Hall.

The latter is also the most crowded place; it's packed with people as far as the eye can see.

However, it is not chaotic at all; on the contrary, it is very orderly because every professional who enters the mission hall will automatically receive a guidance item card. What they want to do can be clearly seen by using the guidance item card, and they can even directly handle some simple business through the guidance card.

Li Wei first registered his identity using the guide item card, and then began to check the current status of Li Yue and Zhao Xuanxuan.

Such queries usually require certain prerequisites. Having sufficient identity is not enough; one must also have a direct or indirect relationship with the person making the query.

They were all Li Wei's territorial staff, so it was easy to find out.

[Li Yue, a five-star professional, is currently on a mercenary mission in a city-building and development project in Dusong Province. She has been on the mission for a total of four months and nine days and is expected to return in four months.]

[Zhao Xuanxuan, a four-star professional, is currently on a chaotic killing mission in a fortress battlefield in the province of Kader. She has been on the mission for four months and three days and is expected to return in six months.]

-

Interesting. Both of them have gone to other provinces, but I guess it's because there aren't any challenging or rewarding missions in the province of Ver right now.

This is understandable, as most of the missions in the entire Kingdom of Locke are universal, except for the initial exploration missions.

After confirming Li Yue and Zhao Xuanxuan's situation, Li Wei did not rush to leave. Instead, he used the guide item card to check the list of available tasks in the current Weier Province.

There were quite a few tasks, big and small, totaling 126, and all of them had time limits, like waiting trains at a station.

Of course, the refresh frequency isn't that crazy, because it refreshes every twenty days.

Moreover, the tasks that can be displayed will only begin to be available after twenty days.

In other words, it's basically the period around the end or beginning of the month.

Specifically, there are only four main categories of tasks.

Newcomer missions are the first major category, mainly targeting the province of Ver. There are as many as fifty-two missions in this category. Of course, generally speaking, this number will not exceed sixty no matter how it fluctuates. Next month will be the same, because every month there are players who are eliminated.

The second major category is the pioneering missions, which mainly target the entire Kingdom of Locke, but they are all nearing their end. This wave is the same as the pioneering missions that Li Wei participated in, all from the same year, and currently there are seven missions displayed.

Tsk tsk, so there are people even more awesome than me.

Li Wei was amazed by this and expressed his complete admiration.

However, it's also possible that the planets where these seven pioneers were located were not invaded by the Neanderthals, and there were no particularly outstanding dark horses; they were all people who followed the established procedures, so it would definitely take three years to finish.

The third category is the Chaotic Slaughter Mission, which refreshes the fastest, sometimes once every two weeks. In fact, just now, Li Wei witnessed a Chaotic Slaughter Mission refresh.

The reason for the refresh is an emergency; too many professionals have died.

After all, they had entered a chaotic and bloody period, and accidents could happen at any time.

These are usually issued by powerful lords of three or four stars, like Li Wei. However, if the planet where his territory is located is safe, having been thoroughly cleaned up and salvaged, then he might never need to issue chaotic killing missions. But who knows, maybe in the future!
So, should I go find a Chaotic Killing mission zone with moderate difficulty to gain some experience?
Li Wei pondered for a moment, and after taking a closer look, he felt that the reward was too low.

It's a waste of time and a waste of energy.

He then looked at the fourth category, which was also the smallest. There were only three tasks, all alone. One of them had been suspended for two years and five months, and the other two had been suspended for nearly a year.

what's the situation?
I casually opened the first task, wow!
In the Name of the Gods - Enchantment Blacksmith Workshop Upgrade Quest

[Task Requirements: Five-star professional, capable of single-handedly killing a barbarian centurion, and have at least one year of free time]

[Mission Description: Embark on a journey to discover an ancient and mysterious world, and to find the skills and clues left behind by a legendary blacksmith.]

[Quest Reward: 100,000 standard gold coins, enough to craft a five-star enchanted weapon.]

[Other: Please contact us if you are interested]

-

Wait, in the name of the gods?

It's not about upgrading the territory, but rather upgrading a specific building?

Li Wei didn't quite understand, so he casually opened the second task.

In the Name of the Gods - Mage Tower Ascension Quest

[Task Requirements: Five-star peak professional, at least a Tier 3 Warrior, or Tier 3 Knight, Tier 3 Ranger. Tier 3 Spellcasters, get lost, don't bother coming to disgust your dad.]

[Mission Description: Embark on a journey to discover an ancient and mysterious world, and find the ruins of the mage tower left behind by a legendary mage.]

[Mission Rewards: 500,000 standard gold coins within one year, ten four-star potions, one Sequence 4 magic emblem, and the friendship of a third-tier spellcaster]

-

Okay, okay, I'm not watching anymore, it's upsetting.

This kind of dimensional ascension mission is definitely not something Li Wei can participate in right now. Besides, it must be extremely dangerous, and with such a small reward, who would care!
Who do they think they are? No wonder no one has paid any attention to them for a year or two.

Li Wei felt completely out of place at that moment.

Haha, it's not about showing off, it's just that it's meaningless.

He now possesses a territory of nearly a thousand square kilometers, a treasury of 240 million standard gold coins, and a reserve of over 2500 standard magic power. Even so, if he were to bow down for these small tasks that only yield a few hundred or a few thousand gold coins per month, he would rather go back and continue grinding for his professional destiny.

Well, I don't like things that cost too little, and things that cost too much are not worth it, while things that are worth it are too risky.

"So, do I look really awful right now?"

With a slight smile to his heart, Li Wei turned to leave the mission hall, but at that moment, the guidance item card in his hand suddenly lit up, and a line of information was transmitted to him.

[Your territory advisor, Zhao Xuanxuan, encountered an unknown and powerful enemy on the chaotic battlefield and was killed!]

Holy crap, what's going on?
Li Wei was taken aback, and even thought it was more like a prank.

Moreover, what level of enemy could possibly take down Zhao Xuanxuan?
This guy currently has at least three rare cards!
"I need more detailed information about how Zhao Xuanxuan died."

[First he fell into a trap, was lured away from his position, and then his horse was poisoned, leaving him only able to fight on foot. In the end, to cover the retreat of his allies, he exhausted himself and died!]

day!
What an idiot!

"Anything else? What were her losses?"

[Sorry, the current guidance item card cannot process the next level of instructions. For more details, please go to the Ver Province Campaign Command Center immediately.]

day!
Li Wei hurriedly left the mission hall and headed straight to the west. Fortunately, the campaign dispatch department was not far away. This department belonged to the upper four departments and was responsible for the tavern system, mission coordination, and so on.

However, when Li Weiyi jogged over, he saw that the place was also in chaos. Seven or eight dazzling police lights were floating in mid-air, blaring. Each police light represented a warning area.

Dozens of seemingly capable men and women were busy at work, shouting and yelling. Before Li Wei could ask anyone for directions, several more people rushed in, including two familiar faces: Black Wolf from the logistics department and Gray Fox from the tactics department. They also looked frantic.

"Officer Qin, what exactly happened on Kader's side? We just received a notification that two of our players were killed."

"That's right, my men died too. Three four-star difficulty levels? That doesn't make sense. A chaotic killing battlefield with a four-star difficulty level? Could it be that the barbarians have attacked again?"

"I apologize, everyone. Please be patient. We are currently in contact with the Kader Province. In fact, the Royal Capital's Strategic and Tactical Headquarters has also received the news and an investigation is underway. However, the results are still unclear in the short term. But this time it is very likely not a barbarian invasion. It seems more like a certain reincarnation organization was hired by the barbarians to infiltrate and plan for years, and then overturned everything in one fell swoop. Now that four-star territory has been captured by the barbarian army."

"But don't worry, the fallen will be resurrected smoothly because the four-star lord of that territory used a six-star death relief item card. But there will definitely be some losses, probably no more than 35% drop rate, depending on luck."

"So please go back, everyone. At the latest, all the resurrected will be back by tonight."

Upon hearing this, even figures like Black Wolf and Gray Fox instantly changed their expressions. Damn it!
Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. Was it an organization outside the Alliance of Lords of the Heavens?

Reincarnators?
Hired by barbarians?
Hiding in the shadows for years?

噫！
This is fucking ridiculous!
