Chapter 24: Triggering a Hidden Mission!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Yuan casually threw a gold coin at the bartender.
“I’m just looking around, it’s none of your business.”
After receiving Lu Yuan’s gold coin, the bartender’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Then, he acted sensibly and did not ask anything more, allowing Lu Yuan to move freely in the tavern.
Dawn Tavern was a two-story building.
Lu Yuan recalled from his mories that the person he was looking for should be upstairs.
There were fewer people upstairs, with only a few scattered people drinking here.
With a glance, Lu Yuan found Rogge who was completely drunk in a corner. He did not look presentable at all.
He walked up to him and could hear Rogge muttering, “Wine... give wine...”
Lu Yuan could not help but frown. He was really a drunkard.
“Sir Rogge... Sir Rogge, can you hear ...”
Lu Yuan tried to greet him, but it did not seem to work.
At this ti, he vaguely recalled that from the mories in his previous life that he seed to need a bottle of good wine to trigger the mission.
Thus, Lu Yuan went downstairs and bought a bottle of the best wine in the tavern which cost him two gold coins!
However, Lu Yuan was rich now, so he didn’t care much about the price.
After getting the wine, Lu Yuan went upstairs and continued to try striking up a conversation: “Sir Rogge, the wine is here.”
Pop!
Lu Yuan opened the wine cork and imdiately, a strong sll of wine with a delicate fragrance wafted out.
As a result of his actions, Rogge reached out and snatched the wine from Lu Yuan’s hand.
Gulp, gulp, gulp!
Rogge downed a few mouthfuls straight away, but his moves didn’t seem to be that of a drunkard’s.
“Good wine! Good wine!”
After taking a few mouthfuls, Rogge also felt satisfied.
Rogge raised his head and shook his head as he looked at Lu Yuan.
“Kid, how co I’ve never seen you before? Who are you? How do you know ? Why are you looking for ?”
Lu Yuan had already thought of an excuse.
“The Village Chief asked to look for you. He said that your magic attainnts are very high and no one in Amber City can rival against you! I want to learn magic from you!”
The general gist of it was to praise this NPC.
Sure enough, after Rogge heard his words, he laughed out loud and was very happy.
“Not bad, not bad! Kid! You have good taste! Many people think that in Amber City, Enriece is the leader in magic attainnts. Humph! He’s just my defeated opponent. If he hadn’t used such a sneaky attack during the competition back then, he wouldn’t have been as strong as !”
Rogge imdiately revealed an extrely confident deanor.
After that, his eyes dimd.
After that competition, Rogge had suffered a great blow to his esteem. Thus, he had pursued the extres of magic and developed a forbidden spell.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred during the developnt and he suffered a huge injury. Such an injury had made Rogge stagnant in his magic attainnts, causing him to be overwheld with sorrow.
In the end, he could only drown his grief away with alcohol all day long.
Then, Rogge fixed his eyes on Lu Yuan.
“Kid, it’s not impossible for you to learn magic from , but I need ten portions of the giant frost ape’s blood essence. If you can get them and give them to , I’ll teach you my trump magic!”
[Rogge has a hidden mission for you: Traces of Frost]
[Mission Level] : Extraordinary
[Mission Requirent]: Find a way to collect 10 portions of the giant frost ape’s blood essence and pass them to Rogge. Please note, the giant frost apes are very powerful and brutal, so be careful.
[Mission Reward]: Rogge will teach you his trump spell — Frost Descent, 1000 EXP, 10 gold coins!
[Mission Duration] : 24 hours.
[Mission Failure]: Rogge’s favorability -100, Rogge will no longer speak to you.
Lu Yuan did not hesitate to accept it.
That’s right, it was the skill Frost Descent, which was a large-scale killing skill.
Its only drawback was that it couldn’t be upgraded, which was a pity.
But to Lu Yuan, this was a divine skill!
“Kid, hurry on your way. I can’t wait here for that long. I still have things to research on.”
As Rogge spoke, he gulped down another mouthful of wine and even burped from it, looking very undignified.
Lu Yuan knew that he was not joking.
He nodded and left.
This quest was not difficult. He only needed to kill giant frost apes, which would allow him to collect their blood essence.
That being said, the giant frost apes themselves were difficult opponents. Lu Yuan rembered that the giant frost apes were elite monsters, making them a little difficult to deal with.
The giant frost apes were in an ice cave in the north.
Lu Yuan left Amber City and headed straight for it.
In the outskirts of Amber City, the monsters he encountered nearby were not very strong.
They were all relatively weak, like dreadwolves. They were only level 10 or so, so they were not a threat to Lu Yuan.
Hence, he ignored them and continued walking north.
After reaching the forest outside the city, he turned left along the path and went straight forward.
He could feel that the temperature had dropped a lot. However, such a drop in temperature was nothing compared to the snowstorm that was caused by Hernas.
Lu Yuan knew that this was his destination.
[System notification: Currently entering the Map, Frost Cave!]
This was his destination.
When he entered the cave, he saw that so ice cakes had condensed on the walls of the cave.
His surroundings were filled with waves of frost.
Through the chill, Lu Yuan could clearly feel the intense frost elents contained within.
It was just as the rumors said, the giant apes here were able to control so of the power of the frost elents. No wonder they were so difficult to deal with.
“Roar~!”
In front of Lu Yuan, a giant frost ape appeared. It stood on its two feet as it walked, and had white fur all over its body, its muscles were also very thick!
[Giant Frost Ape](Elite)
[Level]: 16
[HP]: 2,000
[Skills]: Scratch, Ice Stab, Frost Fury
[Description]: A type of giant ape that lives in the Frost Cave with a brutal nature. It can control the power of the frost elents. If you encounter it, you’d better run quickly. Otherwise, you will beco a delicacy!
Lu Yuan could not help but frown. As expected of an elite monster.
It had a total HP of 2,000, and it looked very terrifying!
However, Lu Yuan had just updated his equipnt, so he was naturally not afraid.
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and as he went forward, he activated his equipnt skill, teor Hate!
[-1,000!]
The fixed amount of damage was dealt, causing the giant frost ape to lose half of its HP!
Following that, a ball of flas appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand!
Summon Fire!
[-104!]
It barely dealt more than 100 damage!
Lu Yuan continued to move forward, quickly brandishing the dagger in his hand, and swiftly slashed at the giant frost ape.
[-35!]
[-40!]
[-41!]
[-38!]
...
A series of damage was dealt, and the frost ape’s HP decreased visibly.
Lu Yuan’s damage per second reached over 350 in just three seconds!
The damage he could deal was extrely terrifying!
