Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s suggestion, Solaka and Rogge thought about it carefully before agreeing to it.
“You’re right. Since the Princess has issued an arrest warrant for the Apostle, she will agree if we explain the situation to her,” Rogge said as he looked at Lu Yuan and Solaka.
“Well, if we can borrow the strength of the empire, then the chances of us destroying the Apostle will be much higher,” Solaka said, then turned to Lu Yuan and said, “Kid, the task of reporting to the Princess and convincing her is up to you.”
[Solaka has issued a hidden mission to you — seek help from the Princess.]
[Mission Requirements]: Explain to the Princess that the recent monster riot was controlled by Hernas’ Apostles, and convince the Princess to help, thus obtaining the help of the Empire.
[Mission Rewards]: 1000 EXP, 10 gold coins, 10 reputation points, one bottle of purple grade recovery potion.
[Mission Failure]: Reputation points -10, gold coins -10.
[Mission Duration]: 3 hours
Lu Yuan did not expect Solaka to give him another hidden mission. After all, he could gain from this mission without anything to lose. This was because Lu Yuan had previously accepted the mission from the Princess to find the Apostle, so with this, he could comlete both missions at the same time. Lu Yuan was quite delighted.
Thus, he immediately said to Solaka and Rogge, “I will definitely convince the Princess to help us.”
“Very well. I’ll leave it to you, kid!” Rogge looked at Lu Yuan and said.
“We have to act against the Apostle as soon as possible. Otherwise, once he gains enough power, it will be a disaster for Amber City. I’ll go to the palace immediately!” Lu Yuan looked at the two of them and said with determination.
Then, he immediately turned to leave and went straight to the palace!
On the way, Lu Yuan did not stop. He dare not waste any time because he was very aware of the consequences of the Apostle gaining enough power.
Soon, Lu Yuan arrived at the palace.
He walked straight to the Princess’ residence. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the residence, he was stopped by the guards.
“Warrior, if you want to see the Princess, you have to wait for us to inform Her Highness,” A guard said to Lu Yuan.
“Please tell the Princess that I have found the Apostle of Hernas and have something important to discuss with her,” Lu Yuan said.
The guard immediately went to inform the Princess.
Soon, the guard was back and led Lu Yuan to the Princess’ room.
With a wave of her hand, the guard bowed to the Princess and left.
Following this, Lu Yuan slowly explained the matter to the Princess.
“What? The Apostle of Hernas is controlling the monsters to cause riots? It’s unbelievable. What is he trying to do?” The Princess was very shocked after listening to Lu Yuan’s story. She did not expect that this Apostle had such great power to the point he could control the monsters to cause riots.
She immediately stood up and said to Lu Yuan, “Warrior, I did not expect you to find the Apostle so quickly. Your ability has far exceeded my expectations.”
“I was just lucky,” Lu Yuan replied.
[Congratulations on completing the sole hidden mission — face the Apostle!]
[Obtained 3,500 EXP, 70 gold coins, 70 reputation points, self-selected acessory treasure chest (purple grade), the Princess’s mysterious gift!]
Lu Yuan hadn’t expected the mission to be completed so quickly. It was a complete coincidence that he had found the Apostle.
“My luck is quite heaven-defying,” Lu Yuan was secretly pleased.
He opened the self-selected accessory treasure chest and obtained quite a few items.
[Angel Headgear]: Increases intelligence by 20 and movement speed by 15. The wearer will be immune to spiritual attacks that do not vary too far from his level!
[Holy Necklace]: Increases MP by 50, skills’ cooldown time reduced by 10%. A skill that does not consume MP can be activated once to skip a skill’s cooldown time altogether!
[Devil’s Bracelet]: Increases attack by 10 and skills’ power by 10%. Releases a skill that carries the power of the Devil and continuously burns the enemy!
[Ring of Holy Light]: Increases HP by 5%. Every time the player casts a skill, the player will recover 10% HP. HP will be recovered in the out-of-combat state!
…
“F*ck! These rewards are too many! As expected of a Princess, she’s really rich and generous!” Lu Yuan said in his heart.
“The Holy Necklace is the most suitable for me. If I wear it, I can activate a skill that does not consume MP to skip a skill’s cooldown time. This is a perfect match for me! I’ll upgrade you!”
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand and tapped. With this, the Holy Necklace was immediately equipped on him. He looked at his status bar and saw that his MP had increased by 50 points and the cooldown time of all skills had been reduced by 10%. He was very satisfied with this purple-grade accessory.
[Mysterious gift — the Princess’ Token]
[Description]: The owner of the Princess’ Token can mobilize a portion of the Royal guards to listen to your commands!
Lu Yuan did not expect the princess’ mysterious gift to be a token that could mobilize the Royal guards.
If he could mobilize the Royal guards, then it would be much easier for him to attack the Apostle later on. After all, the Royal guards were the best of the best.
However, the Royal guards alone were far from enough to kill the Apostle. The only way for it to be a success was to ask the Princess to request the help of the army and the experts of the Royal Family.
Otherwise, if the Apostle escaped, it would be a huge problem in the future.
“Princess, the apostle is about to grasp great power. Please ask the Royal Family to send an army to fight and kill the Apostle with us. If the Apostle is allowed enough time to obtain great power, Amber City will be destroyed!” Lu Yuan said solemnly to the Princess.
The Princess understood the severity of the matter, thus she immediately said, “Warrior, I will present your idea to Father and ask him to send the strongest experts to participate in the battle. When the time comes, I will need your help to guide them to the apostle’s position!”
[Congratulations on completing the hidden mission — seek help from the Princess!]
[Obtained 1,000 EXP, 10 gold coins, 10 reputation points, one purple-grade recovery potion!]
“Completing two missions in a row is just awesome!” Lu Yuan was secretly delighted.
The Princess looked at Lu Yuan with hope in her eyes and said, “You are the bravest person I have ever met. I firmly believe that you can help the Royal Family’s experts to kill the apostle. Are you willing to help us protect Amber City together?”
“Princess, don’t worry. I will definitely kill the apostle. I will not let him threaten Amber City!” Lu Yuan said with determination in his eyes.
He would definitely be rewarded with peerless equipment by killing the apostle.. Lu Yuan was excited. As long as he seized the opportunity to be the one to give the apostle the final blow, he would gain rewards that would allow him to be in the Heavens!
