Chapter 398: 398
Pearl of the desert .
This was a city close to the eastern world and the boundary to the desert of death . From here, you could continue to the East and enter the Desert of Death . It was a very dangerous place, and it was also a gathering place for the believers of God of Death – Nerull . There were many titles in the field of death, but the evilest one was undoubtedly the believers of God of death – Nerull . This ancient God was known as the enemy of goodness, the abomination of life, the dark emissary, the king of gloom, the Reaper of flesh and blood, and so on . From his creation until now, he had never fallen .
He was one of the few surviving ancient gods of death!
The believers of Nerull did not need a reason for attacking others because their belief was about collecting life .
This God of death hated life .
Soran’s figure came here . In this prosperous desert city, there were not many people like him . This was the territory of desert people . People of other races seldom went this far . In the center of the city was a big palace, with exquisite carvings on the four walls . The top of the palace was a huge statue of an immortal bird . It was said that the immortal bird once appeared here and got new life in the fire, so it had always been the eyesore of Nerull .
There were many people in the guild of adventurers .
Soran saw Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings, but most of the Elves here were Druids . Since the cultivation of Monks spread to the mainland, many Druids would travel to the eastern countries .
“Anything you need?”
An oriental woman with a veil and slender waist appeared in front of Soran . She was the receptionist of the adventurer’s guild . Because of the different geographical relations, this place was naturally different from the mainland .
Soran could see at a glance that she was an advanced Oriental Dancer . In her exotic dress, there were at least ten deadly throwing knives hidden .
This was a class similar to the Clown .
The Oriental Dancers were proficient in some of the fighting skills of the Bards, and at the same time, they were trained by Monks . These women’s movements were fierce and deadly, and sometimes they could be assassins . They were very good at using their own beauty and charming dance to confuse the enemy .
This was a class that required agileness and charm .
There were many special advanced classes in the eastern world . Soran only glanced at them and found two or three special advanced classes, including the Ronin .

“I want to post a recruitment mission . ”
Soran glanced at the Oriental Dancer in front of him, raised his hand, took out a task list, and handed it to the woman in front of him .
“Hmm?”
The Oriental Dancer glanced at him, raised her head, and looked at him with blue eyes . She said softly, “Do you want to explore ancient relics? Task difficulty level C? You’ll need to recruit some pros!”
“The cost is a thousand gold Derahls . We will announce your information . ”
“If someone wants to take this task, we will send someone to inform you . Please leave your current address with us . ”
Soran quickly left his address, then glanced at the hall . He went to the hotel, as he needed to learn some new spells . It was not easy to recruit a group of pros . Professions that were too weak were useless in these relics, so Soran was ready to stay there for three days .
As Soran left, t
The Oriental Dancer glanced at him and said slowly, “A high-grade Rogue . He should be from the south, with the taste of the sea . ”
“He had the smell as the Ronin!”
“He has probably been on the sea for some time . I don’t know why such a Rogue would come to the desert!”
Face Read .
Oriental Dancers were very good at collecting information . Their knowledge was no worse than that of Bards .
“As long as he doesn’t cause any trouble . ”
The middle-aged man glanced at the task list and said in a deep voice, “He wants to explore ancient relics? Every year these adventurers come here to die . They have no idea what’s deep in the desert! ”
The Oriental Dancer shrugged her shoulder and said, “Well, what can we do if they want to die . ”
“We can’t stop them . ”
Soon, the task was posted out; because it was a task of C-level difficulty, it was posted at a more obvious place .
“Exploring ancient relics?”
“Recruiting experienced veterans? A reward of at least five thousand gold Derahls? Posted by a Rogue? It looks like a lot of money!”
The post had attracted much attention .
However, most of them considered their own power and chose to give up, because many of them were mercenary’s; at most, they could only take up the task of escorting caravans . The risk of such ancient relics exploration was too high . Even if they were well paid, they were not sure .
“Doesn’t look bad . ”
A bearded Dwarf in heavy armor glanced at the post, then put down his ax and said in a deep voice, “maybe I can talk to this Rogue . ”
The task was not that simple .
Not many veterans would decide so easily . They would want to know the details of the mission .
Another person attracted by the task was the Ronin sitting in the corner . Beside him, there was a wine pot . He had been wiping his sword; after noticing the crowd, he took a serious look .
Five thousand gold Derahls .
It was already a great reward, enough to make a profession like him interested .
Spellcasters were rare to see as usual .
There was not a wizard in the whole adventurer guild, not even a Sorcerer . Druids didn’t seem to be interested in this task . They had always rejected this kind of underground exploration because they believed it would cause disasters . Many of the Druids here were herders, not Druids of the fighting school . Their strength was quite polarized .
Three days passed .
Soran recruited some useful veterans with rich rewards, a Dwarf with heavy armor, a Ronin, and a Desert Warrior .
With Soran, they had gey had a group of 4 .
It’s a pretty good group . The only one missing was a priest .
As always, it was hard to recruit high-grade priests . These guys were in a high position and rarely took risks to make money .
Because he couldn’t get a spellcaster, Soran had to delay the mission .
Although he did not care much, these temporarily recruited teammates wanted to have a spellcaster around, so there was more security .
In the end, Soran had to raise the reward to eight thousand gold Deralhs .
Unfortunately, it still couldn’t move the spellcasters . He could only turn this investment to purchase supplies from the desert temple .
Expensive therapeutic potions still had some uses .
The potion made by Priests could achieve the effect of “Treat Serious Wounds,” but the price was not cheap .
A little accident happened when Soran considered whether he could finally find a way to bring together a team of five adventurers with a high-grade profession .
Someone took the initiative to find him, ready to take up this task .
A woman .
A beautiful and dangerous woman .
The previous day .
Soran was just about to return to his tavern . He went out and hired a group of workers to dig a passage to the underground ruins with tools . But as soon as he came to the door of the tavern, Soran’s expression suddenly became heavy, and then he put his hand on his sword .
Someone had touched the door handle!
Before leaving, Soran left a very slight mark . Now the mark was asymmetric, and the door had been opened .
Soran had told the innkeeper not to clean up the room, so there was a great chance that someone else had snuck in .
There was no sound from the room .
Soran was sure that if there were any people in there, they would be able to hear his footsteps .
He reached for the handle of the door, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed it open . There was nothing unusual in the room, but Soran saw that there was a slight shift in the table . It was less than a millimeter or two away . If it wasn’t for his amazing observation skill and memory, it was impossible to notice that someone had come in and moved his stuff .
“Eeeek!”
Soran closed the door gently . He didn’t relax his vigilance because he couldn’t see people in the room . There were many professions in the world who were proficient in stealth, and there were many whose abilities were no worse than him .
“Swosh!”
Soran’s body tightened instantly, then rolled back and pulled out his curved sword with a clang . A strange dagger appeared at the door .
The dagger that was like a snake, and it was aimed at Soran’s throat .
There was a gentle sound of the wind .
In the dim room, a hazy figure appeared . With the sound air breaking, five throwing knives came from different angles, blocking all the paths of retreating .
“Tang, Tang, Tang!”
Soran had blocked the enemy’s attack, and at the same time, he jumped forward . His figure disappeared strangely and suddenly appeared behind the dim black shadow .
“Shadow Leap!”
“Shadow Strike!”
Soran had no mercy, attacking immediately .
“Hehe!”
Just then, the strange figure let out delicate laughter, and then the hazy shadow was divided into three parts and dodged in three directions at the same time .
“Hazy Dance!”
Illusion!
The vigorous and tall figure turned over and tiptoed slightly on the roof, then dived down and stabbed with a dark dagger .
“Oriental Dancer!”
Soran’s eyebrows were locked . Facing the figure coming down from the roof, he suddenly closed his eyes . His ears moved a little; without even seeing the attack, he slashed toward the direction of the bed . The shadow that rushed down from the roof suddenly disappeared, and the shadow around the corner of the room twisted . Another hazy shadow appeared again .
Still another illusion!
The enemy had not revealed herself .
