Chapter 356 – Into the Demon Realm (2/2)
Lucas asked Fatty to collect a magic crystal, a specialty of the Demon realm which could be used to depict magical formations. Karl asked him to gather all kinds of minerals, also not too many, just 70-80 tons. As for West, his eyes glowed as he showed Fatty in minute detail where mutated variations of Fire Crystal Stones were located and had Fatty promise to get them for him.
Not only did they ask for a lot, but these people were very smart to hand them out as missions, the rewards of which were pitifully small. However, Fatty had no other choice but to accept them. Holding the potion said to be able to poison Mega Dark Dragons brewed by Reck, Fatty left in a surreal daze and entered Heavens Scar once again.
“The Demon realm expedition team has opened up! Anyone up for tourism, sightseeing, exploration, finding lost families? If yes, hop on the wagon quickly as we’re about to set out soon. Once late, won’t wait!” Thinking it was better to die as a group than alone, Fatty opened the communicator and shouted out to those online.
“No time.” Bai Xiaosheng was still busy with Hero City.
“Not interested,” answered HeadofGod on behalf of God Familia, stating that they didn’t want to go seeking death.
“You go, I’ll help you watch your family,” said Xiao Jian. Going to the Demon realm now was no different from dying. Not a chance.
“Oh, that's a good choice. We'll definitely set up a base in the Demon realm, but not now.” This was the reply given by Fierce Dragon TheTalent who represented a group of guild masters.
“Big Brother Fatty, fighting! Bring back a beautiful Demon woman okay?” Purple Bell was the only one with some conscience left, at least she tried to boost his morale.
Grumpily arriving at Demon City all by himself, Fatty was immediately stopped by the patrol soldiers. Hearing that he was going to the Demon world for a mission, they sent him into Demon City.
After occupying Demon City, Marshal Ferotiger and the Wise Sage had returned to Tiger City, leaving a deputy marshal under Marshal Ferotiger stationed at this post.
“Oh? You want to do a mission in the Demon realm? Who gave you the mission?” The deputy marshal sat on a high position with his legs crossed, picking his teeth while glancing at Fatty from the corners of his eyes.
“Rogue Mentor Sallip of the Imperial City.” Fatty stood askew, looking up also out of the corners of his eyes.
“Sallip? Haven't heard of him.” The deputy marshal waved his hand. “Not permitted.”
“The heck?” Fatty jumped. “Why?”
“Who knows if you’re really going on a mission or a spy of the Demon realm trying to sneak back?” The deputy marshal turned his eyes away and ignored Fatty.
“Damn it, Demon spy? You think a spy of the Demon realm can be an honorary citizen of Black Tortoise City?” Fatty took out the Bronze Medallion he got from Lin Xi and waved it before the deputy marshal.
“It’s really a Black Tortoise medal of honor.” Looking at the Bronze Medallion, the deputy marshal hesitated for a moment before he said, “You wait here, I have to report this.”
With that, the deputy marshal left the hall, he didn't come back until a long time later.
“Marshal said you can go, but you have to do something for us.” It turned out that he had not only gone to report it but had also discussed with Marshal Ferotiger how to use this free labor, otherwise it wasn’t something he could decide by himself.
Fatty was already numb to being an errand boy. He asked without a care, “What is it?”
“Investigate the location of the Death Altar.”
You drove those poor fellows back to the Demon realm yet still refuse to let them off? Fatty secretly shook his head and exclaimed in his heart. Indeed that’s a group of people you can’t afford to provoke, or who knows when their revenge will fall on your head one day.
Fatty casually accepted this mission, but whether he would really finish it was another story.
“If you can't finish the mission, heh, you shall be wanted by all mankind.” As if seeing through Fatty's thoughts, the deputy marshal chuckled sinisterly.
Startled, Fatty shot him a vicious glare before walking away.
With the pass certificate issued to him by the deputy marshal, Fatty plunged into the entrance of the Demon realm. After a long, dark, and unstable space, he appeared at the other end of the passage.
A round black sun hung in the sky, emitting chilling sunlight. Unlike in the Human world, the sky here had a kind of spooky feel that made one feel stuffy in the chest, just like the atmosphere before a storm. Black fog drifted everywhere, and the trees were mostly black.
Several Demon soldiers, who were obviously guarding the entrance, immediately shouted at the sight of Fatty and marched towards him. Some even took out horns, ready to blow warnings.
Seeing the Demon soldiers, Fatty inwardly cursed himself for actually having used the Multi-transform Protection Mask, which had an infuriating 12-hour cooldown, back in the Class Enhancement Hall. From the looks of things, for now, he could only hide for a while and try not to get caught.
