Chapter 227: Betrayal Isn’t Without Reason
Thinking of this.
Li Feng looked at Chu Xun and asked, “How much longer can Beihai Academy hold on? I need to go to the Doomsday Altar.”
“It’s alright. With me here, things should be stable for at least half a month. I’m just worried about another Awakened Level Dungeon Riot.”
Chu Xun said.
With him around, things could remain stable for a while.
But the biggest fear was an Awakened Level Dungeon Riot requiring his personal intervention. If that happened, Beihai Academy would likely have to be closed off.
“That’s good. I’ll deal with it after I come out.” Li Feng nodded.
This matter was very serious. If all the Professional Level Dungeons in Great Xia Nation rioted, the mortality rate of players inside would greatly increase.
This was equivalent to undermining the foundation of Great Xia Nation.
After settling the matter, Chu Xun left.
Li Feng didn’t linger in the dormitory either but headed towards the Sky Veil Behemoth.
…
…
Not long after.
Li Feng arrived on the back of the Sky Veil Behemoth.
The place was much livelier than usual. Although there were no students in sight, there were many instructors stationed there.
“Li Feng, you’re here! Are you going into a dungeon?” An instructor greeted him warmly.
Li Feng was now a celebrity at Beihai Academy, with unlimited potential. Many people wanted to be on good terms with him.
Of course, some people coldly snorted, looking at him with hostility. That person was Zhang Hao, whom Li Feng had taught a lesson.
Li Feng responded with a smile, “Yes.”
Along the way, he noticed the worried expressions on the faces of these instructors.
But he didn’t have time to deal with it now.
Soon.
Li Feng arrived in front of an altar.
This time, he was alone again because most of Beihai Academy’s forces were needed to suppress the rioting dungeons on the Sky Veil Behemoth. No one could team up with him.
But he was used to it.
The altar before him was black, with strange stones standing around it. The surfaces of the stones were carved with many strange characters, as small as tadpoles.
If one didn’t look carefully, they would be easily overlooked.
“Young warrior, are you entering the GBL Divine Teachings?” At this moment, a woman wearing a black robe and a veil walked over.
She held a bronze-yellow book in her hand and wore a cross necklace around her neck, like a cultist of some sect.
“Who are you?” Li Feng asked with a puzzled expression. “And what are the GBL Divine Teachings?”
“I am Oseria.”
The woman stated her name, then continued, “The GBL Divine Teachings, in your terms, is the Doomsday Altar.”
“Doomsday Altar.” This time, Li Feng understood. “That’s right, I’m going to enter the Doomsday Altar. Is there something I can help you with?”
Hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed across Oseria’s face. “I’d like to ask you to bring something back for me from inside. Of course, I won’t ask you to do this for free.”
Immediately after.
She took out a small, inch-tall bottle. Golden liquid rippled inside, sparkling like the ocean surface under the sunlight.
Oseria told him that this was a potion blessed by a god.
“Kid, take this potion. It will be very beneficial to you.”
Before Li Feng could speak, an excited voice rang in his ear.
Mechanical Master ‘Gaibo’.
His pupils constricted abruptly. This voice was unexpectedly from the Mechanical Master. Li Feng’s gaze towards the potion immediately changed.
Good stuff!
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have alarmed this god-like existence.
◈◈◈
However, obtaining it probably wouldn’t be that simple.
Thinking of this, a bright smile spread across his face. He said, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others. What do you need? I’ll be sure to bring it back for you.”
This time.
It was Oseria’s turn to be surprised. She had issued this request many times, but most people hadn’t accepted. Firstly, because the difficulty was too high, and secondly, because they thought the potion she offered was useless.
A small number of people had accepted the task, but they had all failed.
However, her surprise was short-lived, and she quickly regained her composure.
A smile seemed to appear on her face beneath the veil. She said, “It’s very simple. I need you to retrieve a scripture from a heretic within the GBL Divine Teachings. Bringing back the scripture will complete the transaction.”
“A scripture? Could you elaborate?” Li Feng’s curiosity was piqued, and he became interested in her words.
“No problem.”
Oseria was very straightforward and explained the whole story. “That scripture was originally a sacred object of our Calamity Church, presided over in turn by the three High Priests. Later, one of the elders was tempted by the followers of the GBL Divine Teachings and ultimately fell, becoming a heretic. He also stole the scripture.
Our Calamity Church lacks the strength to retrieve the scripture from the GBL Divine Teachings, so we need the help of warriors.”
After listening.
Li Feng had figured out the whole situation. His curiosity satisfied, he declared indignantly, “I despise traitors the most! I will definitely retrieve the scripture for you. But I wonder if I could receive the payment in advance?”
Hearing the first two sentences, Oseria felt a flicker of goodwill towards Li Feng, but his last sentence ruined it all. Even with the veil, she could still see the obvious twitching of her facial muscles.
She was speechless and stated that this was impossible. She informed Li Feng that this holy water was a very rare treasure in their Calamity Church, and they didn’t have much in stock.
It was impossible to hand over the holy water before seeing the scripture.
Li Feng was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still asked, “How much of this holy water does your Calamity Church have?”
This was something the Mechanical Master ‘Gaibo’ had taken a liking to. The more, the better.
“I’m not sure. This is a secret of the Calamity Church. If there’s a chance, I can introduce you to our Cult Leader, and he can answer your question.”
Oseria’s eyes revealed a polite yet awkward expression.
She was having some regrets. She felt like she hadn’t found a warrior but a robber who had set his sights on their Calamity Church.
She even suspected that if they were somewhere secluded, he would have just robbed her.
“Oh.” Not getting a definite answer, Li Feng was somewhat disappointed, but he emphasized again, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get the scripture back for you.”
He looked furious, as if something of his own had been stolen.
Seeing his expression, Oseria felt even more suspicious, as if the scripture belonged to Li Feng. Nevertheless, a smile bloomed again beneath her veil.
“I offer my blessings in advance for your journey, warrior, and wish you a triumphant return.”
No matter what, his enthusiastic attitude was a good thing.
“By the way, how do I find this heretic?” Li Feng suddenly asked. He almost forgot that he didn’t even know the other party. How could he find him and retrieve the scripture?
Hearing this.
Oseria’s expression turned serious. She told Li Feng that after joining the GBL, the heretic had made repeated contributions and now had inherited the position of Cult Leader of the GBL Divine Teachings. His strength was unfathomable.
Li Feng: “…”
He was now covered in cold sweat, inwardly complaining, “It seems this Calamity Church elder’s betrayal wasn’t without reason. If your religion has no path for advancement, am I not allowed to leave the sect?”
Such a hardworking and ambitious cultist…would it be wrong to kill him?
Soon.
Li Feng shook his head. How could he have such thoughts? He then stepped onto the altar under Oseria’s farewell gaze.
Light bloomed, and his figure gradually disappeared.
“Sigh, I hope everything goes well.”
Seeing this, Oseria sighed.
There had been others who accepted this task, but most of them had failed.
