Chapter 176 The Eye of Mephitos(1/2)
On the third day after Ehmed was taken away, Jiang Feng, who had just returned from the mission, walked to the door of Ge Hongguang's office.
"Report." Jiang Feng shouted, knocking on the open door.
"Come in quickly." He waved to Jiang Feng, and Ge Hongguang said: "The official reward from Barottan has been reduced, 10 million rupees."
‘10 million rupees?’ Jiang Feng made a conversion in his mind, and it was almost 1 million yuan. ‘It feels a bit too little… Why do you say that the other party is also a second-level professional, so it’s worth this little? What about a big bounty that was agreed upon?’
Jiang Feng's current values have long been fully integrated into professionals. One million is of course a lot for ordinary people, but for extraordinary people, it is enough to buy some potions.
As if seeing Jiang Feng’s thoughts, Ge Hongguang smiled and said, “I haven’t finished it yet. 10 million rupees are just a bonus. You can really reward yourself to go to Cardos.”
"Is Cardos? Is the second largest city in Barottan?" Jiang Feng asked,
"Well, I'll give you three days off, and you can go to their military district."
"Yes, thank you lieutenant."
...
The next morning, Jiang Feng took a plane to Kados, known as the "soul of Barottan".
With a population of 10 million, this city is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. It was once the capital of Barottan a thousand years ago.
The reason why Cardos is called "Soul of Barottan" is that it has the most preserved historical buildings and is the most important historical and cultural city in this country.
So when Jiang Feng first left the airport, he felt like he was in ancient Indonesia.
But although the building is a bit old, its prosperity is indeed far beyond Arrothod, or it is not comparable at all.
After all, there are still many people in Arotod who are worried about three meals a day, but as one of the richest cities in this country, how to live a better life is what local people need to consider, just like... two worlds.
After taking a taxi, Jiang Feng arrived at a military camp in the southwest corner of the city according to the address.
"Hello! Is there anything wrong with coming to the military region?"
When Jiang Feng arrived at the gate of the military camp, a Barottan soldier walked up to him and saluted.
After returning a greeting to him, Jiang Feng replied: "Hello, it was an officer named Shakhtaf who asked me to come."
The Barottan soldier was stunned after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay, please show your ID."
Before leaving, Ge Hongtian gave him a temporary professional certificate, saying that it could solve most minor troubles.
This kind of certificate will be issued in China after graduating from university. It has a very high right of passage, and can only throw a temporary one for him in the military.
After checking Jiang Feng's identity, the Barottan soldiers saluted Jiang Feng again and said, "Welcome, Mr. Jiang Feng. Please wait a moment, and I will have someone come and take you to see Chief Shakhtaf."
"Thanks."
After waiting for about five minutes, a military jeep stopped in front of Jiang Feng. When he opened the door, a soldier walked down and made a gesture to Jiang Feng and said, "Please get in the car, Chief Shakhtaf has been waiting for you."
"Okay." Nodded, Jiang Feng sat in the passenger seat.
The soldier on the road looked at Jiang Feng from time to time, his eyes full of curiosity, which made Jiang Feng unable to help but ask: "Have you seen me?"
"Oh, no." The Barottan soldier who came to pick him up immediately shook his head, "I just think you look very young, but you can catch a second-level warlock alone. It's really incredible for your Dragon Kingdom! Can I take the liberty to ask about your age?"
“???”
‘Why is it so outrageous here…”
Smiling awkwardly, Jiang Feng replied: "I'm a junior."
"Friends!" The Barottan soldier almost stepped on the brakes. After looking at Jiang Feng with a monster-like look, he stopped talking. He really didn't want to be hit more.
‘When I was in my junior year, I seemed to be level 1 and level 2?’
Parked the car in front of a barracks, Jiang Feng led the Barottan soldier to the second floor, and met the Chief Shakhtaf with a pair of green pupils in an office.
After the Barottan soldier saluted and left, Shakhtaf walked to Jiang Feng and shook hands with him and said, "I finally saw you, you have helped us solve a big problem."
"You're welcome, it's all I should do."
"No, no, no, thank you, thank you. The order given to me above is to receive you well. In the words of your Dragon Kingdom, you must make you feel at home. Come, please sit down first."
Shakhtaf dragged a leather seat back and made a gesture to Jiang Feng.
When Shakhtaf also sat back to his seat, he looked at Jiang Feng and asked, "First of all, I must say sorry to you. Ehmad is still in close custody and cannot be visited for the time being."
"Oh, that's OK, I don't really want to talk to him."
After listening to the explanation of the second-level mage, Jiang Feng had no idea about Ehmed. Now he must have hated himself to the core. Even if he asked, he would probably not be able to find out the truth. He would still be disappointed. Why bother?
"Thank you for your understanding." Shakhtaf smiled and nodded at Jiang Feng, then took out a blue metal box and placed it on the table and said, "This thing was found from him. We think no one is more suitable to own it than you, so after we perfected it, we planned to be a thank you gift for you, but this should be your spoils, and I feel embarrassed to give it to you."
"I can't say that. Without the help of three second-level professionals in your country, I can't catch him. I should thank you."
"Hahaha, modest, too modest!" After laughing twice, Shakhtaf raised his hand and said to Jiang Feng, "Anyway, you can open it first."
Nodded, Jiang Feng stretched out his hands and pressed them at the switches on both sides of the metal box at the same time.
Then with a "click", the blue metal box slowly opened, revealing a golden jewelry about the size of a palm-sized one inside.
"hiss……"
Although Jiang Feng didn't know what this was, the energy of the holy light that came to him made him feel that this was a treasure.
After getting closer and taking a closer look, Jiang Feng could see a golden liquid flowing continuously in this eye-like ornament.
‘Holy light energy? Condensed into liquid holy light energy!?’
Jiang Feng, who was more surprised, looked up at Shakhtaf and asked, "Is this found from Ehmad?"
"Yes." Shakhtaf nodded: "This jewelry is called the Eye of Murphytos. It was originally an ill-function seal, but it was stolen by Ahmed, which led to the tragedy of a large number of paladins' sacrifices."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng instantly understood something, looked at the flowing holy light energy in [Eye of Murphytos] and asked: "Can you say that..."
Shakhtaf sighed and nodded: "Yes, to activate the Eye of Murphytos, one must inject the purest soul energy of the Paladin into it."
After hearing this sentence, Jiang Feng felt that the jewelry in front of him was extremely heavy.
"After searching it, we conducted some research on it and found that it has the characteristics that can improve the effect of the Holy Light system skill, and two craftsmen have made some transformation and blessings on it. Now it is an extraordinary ornament with a b+ level effect."
‘B+ level!?’ Jiang Feng couldn’t help but be shocked. This was the top level equipment at level A, and this surprise came a bit suddenly.
"Please wear it to illuminate more dark corners. I believe that if it is you, it will definitely achieve its maximum effect."
Under Shakhtaf's gaze, Jiang Feng reached out and touched the Eye of Murphytos in the metal box. The next second, his spirit suddenly shook, and dozens of golden human-shaped phantoms appeared in front of him, and at the same time he saluted him and said, "Thank you for saving us from the hands of the demons, and we will do our best to be your powerful help in the future."
Jiang Feng knew that he had arrived in the spiritual world at this moment. After being surprised, he stepped forward and said, "I will definitely not let down the power you have gathered."
Dozens of paladins smiled comfortably, and then turned into streams of light and poured into Jiang Feng's spirit.
"Jiangfeng? Jiangfeng?... Jiangfeng?"
Hearing Shakhtaf's call, Jiang Feng, who came to his senses, raised his head and held the Eye of Murphytos tightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely use it well."
"Of course, I believe you can do it. Okay, the matter is over. Now let's go out for a walk, and I'll take you to appreciate the style of Cardos."
Jiang Feng did not refuse Fang's enthusiasm, nodded happily and left the room with Shakhtaf.
When it comes to sightseeing and tourism, food is naturally indispensable.
Butter pilaf, Qigula made of rice and potatoes, curry mutton and other delicacies all made Jiang Feng feast.
Then Shakhtaf took Jiang Feng to visit some famous places and historical sites, and told him a lot of stories about the past on the way.
"If there was no war in this country, it should have been very beautiful." Shakhtaf said with emotion after visiting the last one.
"I believe that as long as we work together, peace will soon come to this country."
Shakhtaf was extremely moved after hearing this, and reached out to shake Jiang Feng and said, "Long live friendship."
"Long live friendship." Jiang Feng nodded.
...
Although Ge Hongguang gave Jiang Feng a three-day vacation, Jiang Feng left the next day with Shakhtaf's various attempts. After all, he came here just to do something. If he wanted to take a vacation, it would be better to stay in China.
"I knew you definitely didn't know what the word "Take a vacation" means."
Ge Hongguang was not surprised that Jiang Feng came back early, but just smiled and shook his head.
After talking to Ge Hongguang about the [Eye of Murphytos], Ge Hongguang touched his chin and said, "I found an ornament full of holy light energy from a warlock? It's really interesting." Shaking his head, Ge Hongguang took out a folder and threw it in front of Jiang Feng and said, "Since you are back in advance, let's learn about this task first."
"Where are you going to this time?" Jiang Feng asked while taking the folder.
"Stalo Town."
Hearing Ge Hongguang's answer, Jiang Feng's hand, who was about to open the folder, suddenly stopped, "Stalo Town? Isn't there... not a war zone?"
"It's not the case from today. The official army has successfully recovered the town today and has asked us for the hope that it can assist them in defense."
"In the name of clearing out the demons?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Hahaha." Ge Hongguang laughed twice after hearing this, "It seems that you understand very well now, yes, that's what it means."
"Are you afraid of those anti-official organizations' counterattack?"
"That's right," means tapping the table twice. Ge Hongguang said again: "But they shouldn't have the courage to do it, just treat it as an ordinary devil mission. When this matter is over, we can almost return to China. Since Ehmed's arrest, the frequency of devils appears has been much lower. The local officials are already able to deal with it. Thanks to you."
"Are you going back?" Jiang Feng asked in surprise.
"Why? Are you in love with this?" Ge Hongguang asked with a smile.
