Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Xia Ya jumped down the slope and walked through the damaged stone walls and gray-white building ruins with familiarity.

Every relic of the Cangting Principality was excavated and cleared bit by bit by the archaeological team he hired, so Xia Ya is naturally very familiar with this place.

Of course, as a price, most of the wealth that Char had accumulated using the knowledge of time travelers since his rebirth was squandered. It can only be said that archeology is indeed a tiankeng specialty.

However, after paying such a high price, Xia Ya will not gain nothing.

Xia Ya's footsteps gradually slowed down, and finally stopped outside an old black iron gate.

He stretched out his hand, and the dusty black iron door made a creaking sound, and then slowly opened.

Compared to other ruins that have long since decayed over time, this secret chamber is entirely made of high-strength alloy materials, and more than five hundred years of history do not seem to have left any traces on it.

There is nothing in the secret room except for the failed lighting facilities. There are only two stone platforms carved from bronze.

There is a rather damaged sheepskin book placed on the bronze table on the left, while there is only an empty groove on the bronze table on the right.

Xia Ya did not hesitate and walked straight towards the stone platform.

Although our system with astonishing reflex arc is extremely deceiving, at least there is one thing that is not so deceptive——

That is, the novice tasks it releases can be completed in stages, and corresponding rewards will be issued for each stage completed.

The mission goal of the first phase of the novice mission is [reaching the Principality of Cangting].

If it were placed six hundred years ago when the Cangting Principality was still there, then this would probably be a running map task that could be completed by turning on automatic path finding. It was the same as [delivering the envelope to Grandma Wang, the gardener in the north of the village], except that There is no practical meaning other than increasing the player's online time.

But until now, it took Xia Ya just to determine the approximate location of the ancient Cangting Kingdom from a bunch of obscure ancient books, and then rely on the system's navigation function to check and explore the specific coordinates within the delineated range. Months of hard work.

However, the goal at this stage can be considered completed. After all, who said that the ruins are not mission locations?

As for the second stage goal - [Become a member of the Grand Duke's family], this made Xia even more blind.

Under normal circumstances, one would probably need to accept some kind of assessment and trial from the Grand Duke's family, complete some internal tasks within the family, and after gaining enough merit and reputation, one could redeem one's identity and status within the Grand Duke's family.

It's a very standard process for gaining camp reputation. Although the steps are a bit complicated, the direction is very clear.

But now that the country is dead, where do you want me to join this B family?

The goal at this stage was not finally figured out until the archaeological team hired by Chara discovered the secret room in front of him.

Char turned to look at the broken parchment on the bronze platform on the left.

The text on the front of this parchment has been weathered and cannot be read, but at the bottom of the weathered texture, there is a clear line of ink. It can be seen that it was written just in the past few months.

【Char Egut】

Yes, according to Xia Ya's prediction, this secret room should be a place similar to the ancestral land of the clan in the Grand Duke's family, the former ruler of the Cangting Principality.

It is dotted with protective mechanisms, some of which are still ineffective even after more than five hundred years, which caused a lot of trouble for Char and the archaeological team when they first excavated.

The book that can be placed in the clan's ancestral land should be the list of family members of the Grand Duke's family, or the genealogy.

As long as you can leave your name on the family tree, who dares to say that you are not a member of the Grand Duke's family?

Although I don't even know the surname of the last Grand Duke, no one has stipulated that a Grand Duke's family is not allowed to admit members with other surnames. Isn't it possible that outsiders are not allowed to marry into the family?

Didn't you see that the Grand Duke himself was emotionally stable and did not raise any objections?

Xia Ya's attempt undoubtedly has a bit of a dead horse mentality.

It was only after Char wrote his name on the parchment.

After the system's blue light curtain experienced a long period of fluctuations, distortions, and abnormal development, it actually showed the message [stage goal completed, rewarded with 5,000 free experience points].

However, compared to the previous two stage tasks, which can be completed through trickery.

The third stage of the novice mission cannot be completed by those tricks.

[Stage 3: Make the favorability of Silvia, the daughter of the Grand Duke, exceed 30 points]

Is this task difficult? After all, 30 points of favorability is at best the level of a relatively familiar friend. If under normal circumstances, as long as you successfully join the Grand Duke's family, then as long as you have enough patience and seize the opportunity to contact you, It is not too difficult to increase the favorability of a grand duke's daughter to 30 points.

only--

Nearly six hundred years have passed, and Sylvia has already entered the legend five hundred years ago, standing at the top of the continent's beast masters under the name "Blue Silver Witch".

Now, the Blue Silver Witch has not appeared in this world for five hundred years, and no one knows whether she is alive or dead.

Not to mention Char, even other legendary beast masters who also stood at the top of the continent would have difficulty finding traces of him.

“However, I believe there are always more solutions than difficulties.”

Xia Ya looked at the empty bronze platform on the right in front of him, took out the mithril seal box from his arms that he had paid a lot of money to have made by the senior craftsmen of the imperial capital, and took a deep breath.

He had been preparing for this moment for five or six years.

Not to mention the hard work put in, the Rhine gold coins invested alone exceeded one hundred thousand, and its value even surpassed the property of some barons and even viscounts in the imperial capital, and was enough to buy a rich village as one's own territory.

At this moment, with Xia as a time traveler, Rao couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

It's not like he hasn't thought about the possibility of all the investment going to waste, but having pushed this buggy novice mission to such an extent, Xia Ya is really unwilling to give up.

Moreover, although the system is a bit cheating, the mission rewards it provides are indeed good enough.

Simply completing the second stage of the novice mission will provide Char with 5,000 free experience points.

Although the upper limit of the pet beast's level is subject to the soul contract level and growth status of the beast master, these free experience points cannot be directly used to increase the upper limit of the level.

However, these free experience points can be used to increase the proficiency of pet beast skills.

If this were not the case, if Yin wanted to improve the low-level illusion of "charm" to the point of "perfection", the time it would take would definitely be calculated in units of ten years.

Not to mention the self-created high-level illusion "Tsukuyomi" based on "Charm".

Besides, Chara does have the motive to improve her strength.

Xia Ya closed his eyes slightly and adjusted his mental state to the best.

When he opened his eyes again, all distracting thoughts had been abandoned in those dark eyes.

Xia took the stone sculpture out of the mithril box and placed it impartially on the hollow of the bronze platform.

Boom——

The originally obscure and dark secret room suddenly burst into light.

Amidst the roaring sound and distorted light, Xia Ya noticed the inconspicuous line of prompts in his mind.

[Reverberations of History——"Cangting Ancient Kingdom" has been opened]
