Chapter 165 Heavenly Throne!

The next morning, Shen Mo rode Po Yue and brought Mu Li to the Demon Hunter Association.

The task voucher submitted yesterday has now been settled.

The Alliance Coins and Points have been credited to your account.

Shen Mo came here mainly to exchange for skills.

Secondly, we need to find out more about the situation in Blackwater City.

Although the combination techniques he has mastered are quite powerful, his newly awakened talent ability "Soul Devouring Surge" can also enhance his combat skills and spells.

But having more skills is never a bad thing.

For Shen Mo, some skills are optional, but essential.

In case of special circumstances, adding points temporarily can be surprisingly effective.

Without bothering Qin Tao and Lu Qishan, Shen Mo led Mu Li straight up to the sixth floor of the association.

After obtaining the fourth-tier combat skill manual, Shen Mo made a selection and chose to exchange for the sword technique "Shadow Slash" and the movement technique "Soaring Step".

The Shadow Slash is a sword technique that emphasizes the speed of the sword strike, which complements his other fourth-tier skill, "Mountain Split Slash".

repair.

As its name suggests, the Aerial Step allows the user to travel a distance in mid-air.

This is a very useful combat skill for Witchers who have not yet reached the sixth physical transformation.

Even for a Witcher who has undergone six physical transformations, the Aerial Step is still useful.

According to the traditions of the demon race, beings who have undergone six ascensions, or those who are sixth-order beings, are called "Celestial Beings".

The Demon Hunter Association also continued to use this title.

Even a Celestial Demon Hunter cannot fly in the sky indefinitely; in fact, many Celestial creatures have limited time, altitude, and distance for flying.

The aerial step not only prolongs the flight effect but also enhances agility during flight.

Shen Mo's score this time was relatively limited.

After picking out two fourth-tier combat skills, there weren't many left.

So he didn't choose magic this time.

Holding the skill books for Shadow Slash and Aerial Step, he went downstairs to the first floor.

Ask the person at the information window to give you recent information related to Blackwater City, including some mission information.

However, just as Shen Mo and Mu Li were looking through the documents...

A well-dressed, balding middle-aged man approached Shen Mo and Mu Li and asked, "Are you two going to Blackwater City?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo raised an eyebrow.

She glanced at the man, then looked back at the information window.

When the staff there saw Shen Mo looking over, they quickly turned their heads to look at the computer, their eyes darting around as if they knew nothing.

Seeing this, Shen Mo immediately understood what was going on.

Despite the Witcher Association's explicit prohibition, staff members are not allowed to leak information about Witchers.

But wealth can be a powerful motivator.

Some association staff members still find loopholes and skirt around the edges to share information with others.

The counter where Shen Mo just checked information clearly indicates a collaboration with the person in front of him.

"Please forgive me, sir!" The bald man bowed and extended his hand, his face full of flattery. "It was an emergency, so I had to ask someone for help..."

'

Shen Mo didn't shake hands with the man, interrupting indifferently, "What is it?"

The bald man wasn't angry. He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Shen Mo with both hands, saying, "I am Shi Xiangyang, the leader of the Chongfu Merchant Caravan."

Our caravan's next stop is Blackwater, and we would like to hire you to escort it there.

Seeing this, Shen Mo took the business card, glanced at it, and then looked up to ask, "Why don't you entrust the association to issue the mission?"

"I've asked them to," Shi Xiangyang said with a wry smile, "but no one's answering."

"Why?" Shen Mo picked up the documents in his hand and flipped through them.

"Blackwater City has just experienced a demonic tide, and our caravan is relatively large."

The demon hunters were unwilling to expend the effort and time to escort us there.

We don't trust the usual demon hunter teams because they're too small.

'

Through Shi Xiangyang's helpless explanation, Shen Mo also found the mission information for the Chongfu caravan.

It was given to him by the person at the information desk.

They even deliberately placed some mission-related information at the top.

Shi Xiangyang wasn't lying; he had indeed issued the task three days ago, and the relevant information matched.

But the one thing he didn't mention was the reward for the mission.

"Eight hundred thousand?"

Upon seeing the reward, Shen Mo smiled and tossed the business card to Shi Xiangyang, saying, "How could this little bit of money possibly hire a hunting party?"

"This price is already very high!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiangyang solemnly said to Shen Mo, "Our caravan might not have earned this much on this trip."

If the contract hadn't been signed, and I wasn't afraid of breaching it, I wouldn't have been able to offer such a high price.

After all, Blackwater City isn't far, only a little over two hundred kilometers away.

'

After a pause, Shi Xiangyang pointed to the mission information that Shen Mo had placed on the table and said, "This has also been assessed by the association. It's considered high among D-level missions."

"Then why did you call us?" Shen Mo asked curiously. "One of us is a Gold-level Demon Hunter, and the other is a Silver-level Demon Hunter. Doesn't that meet your requirements?"

"Don't you have a demon hunter team?" Shi Xiangyang looked at Shen Mo and Mu Li with a surprised expression.

There are only the two of us.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiangyang paused for a moment, then smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Shen Mo watched him leave, then glanced at the mission information in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Mu Li asked curiously.

"It wouldn't be bad to do a mission along the way," Shen Mo said casually.

"Why?" Mu Li was still as curious as ever.

"On the one hand, neither of us had ever been to Blackwater City."

Although there is a map, the specific situation is completely unknown.

If someone could guide you, you could avoid a lot of trouble.

After all, to get to Blackwater City, one has to pass through a lot of wasteland and even the Demon Realm.

And then a demonic tide just broke out over there; there were just too many unexpected events...

After speaking, Shen Mo stopped what he was doing and looked thoughtfully at the mission information above.

"Anything else?" Mu Li tilted her head and continued to ask, "What about the other side?"

"Oh!"

Shen Mo chuckled and ruffled Mu Li's hair, saying, "You've heard about the situation in Blackwater City; they're very xenophobic there."

Moreover, we are investigating demons this time, and we may also encounter cults.

If you go there without any reason, you might attract the attention of those people.

If it's for a mission, it won't seem so abrupt.

'

Looking at Mu Li, and thinking of the captivating face beneath her mask, Shen Mo felt a stirring in his heart.

It's not a good idea to have Mu Li completely bundled up whenever she goes out.

He knew that some magical armors had the ability to disguise themselves.

Some spells are also possible, but they all have time limits and are not as convenient as magic armor.

"I'll ask Mei Gui later..."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shen Mo staring at her in a daze, Mu Li asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Shen Mo put his mind at ease and continued to look through the documents in his hand.

The main focus is on missions related to Blackwater.

There was also an officially released task, which was placed at the very bottom of the document.

The task is to clear out the monsters near the trade route between Dusk Valley City and Blackwater City.

Seeing this, Shen Mo knew that Shi Xiangyang had played another trick...
