The Immortal God of War

Sitting at the table, Liu Chi called softly, "System, system?"

"May I ask what the host wants from this system?"

A female voice rang beside my ear. "The higher-ups are still reviewing your mission reward, but I can reveal a little bit. It's the group enhancement that we used for you before."

"Group enhancement?" Liu Chi seemed to understand why Lilith's upgrade speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.

"It's because we were caught using it early for you, so we need approval now. What they mean is that you will be automatically unlocked after you complete the next task."

"Only group enhancement?" Liu Chi asked. It turned out that this was the reason why no rewards were given for completing the tasks. After thinking about it, Liu Chi gladly accepted it. If he hadn't used the system in advance, he would probably have died long ago.

"Originally, after completing the mission, the host was allowed to select three skills from the skill library. Now..." The system's voice paused.

"What's wrong now?"

"Hehe~ This is the only skill I have now."

Liu Chi did not mean to blame the system. If the system had not secretly helped him, he really would not have thought of his current situation.

"Okay!" After sending the system away, Liu Chi started his own learning journey again. Now that he already knew that the next skills were group enhancement, it seemed that the focus of learning now should be on his companions. After much thought, Liu Chi decided to develop some enhancement magic.

The day passed quickly, and it was the next day in a blink of an eye. As the letter said, Liu Chi arrived at the lobby of the United Guild early and waited. It was not until a man wrapped tightly in black clothes came in that Liu Chi was notified by the staff to go upstairs to the meeting room.

In the conference room, Yang Xi was sitting next to Liu Chi, with a low table in front of them. It was impossible to tell the gender of the employer in front of him.

The man in black took a magnifying glass and looked carefully at the key provided by Liu Chi. After a long time, he took out a bag of money from his pocket and signed the document provided by the guild. After Liu Chi received the document, he wrote "Zach" in the column that belonged to him.

Originally, Liu Chi had no interest in this, but the employer's attire and the value of the key had already aroused Liu Chi's curiosity. Almost at the moment of signing his name, the system's voice rang in his ear, creating a new task "Mysterious Key". Liu Chi knew that even without the system task, he would have found out everything behind this.

"Milia!" Liu Chi was calling Milia through the special familiar channel.

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Help me keep an eye on this key. Once you complete the task, I will reward you with my blood."

As expected, things will be much easier if you specialize in specific tasks and prescribe the right medicine. Milia agreed with a smile.

Liu Chi grabbed the bag of money and went out, as if he was only interested in the money.

After Liu Chi left, the man in black pulled off his hood, revealing his golden hair. If there were outsiders present, someone would definitely recognize that this was Princess Karina of the Saint Cassia Empire.

"Princess, is this key so important?" A high-ranking member of the United Guild leaned over and asked.

"This is our country's national affairs. It has nothing to do with you, right?"

The senior management realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked and quickly apologized. After sending Kalina away, the manager of the Cerro branch immediately wrote a letter.

Liu Chi knew almost all the news here.

"Princess? Karina?"

"Yes, I heard them talking like that." Because she cast a magic on the key, Millia could hear conversations within a certain range of the key, and Hai could know the location of the key.

As the direction gradually approached the center of Cerro, Liu Chi and the other two knew that the key must have been taken into the palace. As the key entered the palace, all connections involving the key were suddenly cut off. Millia was certain that the key had been purified.

Liu Chi shook his head. The only way to continue looking for clues was to enter the palace, but now even how to enter the palace became a problem.

So Liu Chi took Yang Xi for a stroll around the palace. After a day of nothing, Liu Chi returned to the hotel, washed up and rested.

For several days, Liu Chi wandered around the city, hanging out in Cerro's famous taverns where all kinds of people gathered, hoping to find out something about the palace, but he always returned empty-handed.

Entering the spiritual sea to study again, after clicking on the system interface, the originally normal task actually began to flash red. Liu Chi clicked on the air system interface several times in a row.

"It's over. There's no further progress and the mission has failed." Liu Chi complained. This mission was like hitting a wall. It seemed that there was no way out unless he entered the palace.

Liu Chi quickly withdrew from the spiritual sea and slowly pushed away Yang Xi who was using him as a pillow. A pair of dark red eyes in the darkness were looking at Liu Chi.

"Why did the master wake up? Did he miss me?" Milia lay beside Liu Chi, her chest almost touching Liu Chi's face.

"Take me to the palace." Liu Chi's voice was very low. The two climbed out of bed and through the window, Liu Chi was led by a group of bats into the palace.

At this moment, a white-haired old man who was meditating in the palace suddenly opened his eyes and smiled for the first time in a long time.

"It seems that something unclean has come in."

Seeing the master acting so abnormally, the young man beside him quickly asked, "What's wrong, master?"

"Put on your protective gear, a vampire is coming."

The man shuddered when he heard it, and a horror legend from two thousand years ago emerged in his mind.

Landing in an uninhabited place, Liu Chi had a general understanding of the overall structure of the palace through wandering around the periphery of the palace these days. Liu Chi, who had already figured out the patrol and guard rules, entered the palace as if he was going home.

Liu Chi asked Millia to turn into a bat to explore the inside, and he drew a map of the inside of the palace based on the information Millia sent back. After some exploration, Liu Chi confirmed Princess Karina's room from several maids.

Fortunately, Milia's optical concealment magic worked, and Liu Chi walked to Karina's door unimpeded. Just as Liu Chi was about to open the door, an old cough sounded.

"Ahem! I'm afraid the princess you're looking for is not in the room."

After hearing this, Liu Chi instantly realized that he had been discovered, and that the one who discovered him was not just a minion. While Liu Chi asked Milia to lift the magic, he took out a piece of black cloth from the space ring and wrapped himself tightly.

Seeing the old man in simple cloth clothes and the man in metal armor beside him, Liu Chi's first reaction was not to run away, but to talk to them. If he just ran away, it would be obvious that his trip would be in vain.

"Then why don't you tell me where the princess is? I'm looking for her just to tell her something."

"Oh? Since you know the princess, why would you do such sneaky things in the middle of the night?"

The old man always greeted him with a smile. Liu Chi understood that this was the calmness of a strong man. He probably wouldn't be able to escape now.

"Just as you said, the princess has a friend like me who does sneaky things. It would be bad if it got out. So in order to conceal my identity, isn't it natural for me to come to see the princess now?"

"Haha~" the old man laughed. Of course he knew that Liu Chi was just talking nonsense, but it was the first time he saw someone who was so good at making up stories like Liu Chi. Anyway, he couldn't get away from him, so he might as well see what this kid was up to and how he could even get involved with the notorious vampires.
