100: Demon-slaying hero Chen Beixuan, Luohui’s S-level mission.

"Master Chen, quick, look what this is."

Pedro excitedly pulled something out of his Arms, golden light seeping through his fingers.

Chen Beixuan's eyebrows rose, and he took it to examine.

【Title Fusion Scroll】: Gold Quality

Description: Can fuse all titles into a higher-level title, improving attributes and effects. A one-time consumable.

------

"Good stuff. Do you have anything else?"

He looked up at Pedro with some anticipation.

"Uh...no...none left."

Pedro's eyes darted around, and he raised a hand to rub his nose.

"Really none?"

"None..."

"Hands up, above your shoulders!"

Chen Beixuan glared, reaching out to pat him up and down.

Sure enough, he finally pulled out several forbidden spell scrolls from his pant leg.

However, they were all purple, with mediocre effects.

He slapped the scrolls into Pedro's arms with a "pa ji" sound, his face dark as he said,

"Explain yourself. How do you explain this?"

"Such a grand Light Church, is this all they have?"

"Did you hide them!"

Pedro's cold sweat poured down, and he quickly explained.

"It wasn't me...Master Chen, everything is really here. I was also surprised when I went in!"

"It was like the place had just been moved out of, there wasn't much inside at all!"

"I knew you wouldn't care for these scrolls, Master Chen, so I didn't take them out..."

Pedro's voice grew softer and softer, and he hung his head in shame.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Chen Beixuan waved his hand, forgiving him.

"Alright, put them away. I don't know what you need so many forbidden spell scrolls for..."

Hearing this, Pedro rubbed the back of his head and smiled.

"Hehe, when you're out and about, you always need to keep some trump cards...Thank you, Master Chen."

"Thank me? Then let me see your trump card?"

Chen Beixuan suddenly remembered the scroll he was clutching in the Demon Realm and became curious.

Who knew that as soon as Pedro heard, his head shook like a rattle drum.

"...No, no, if a trump card is shown to others, it's not a trump card anymore."

"Hmm...that's not wrong. Something shown to others indeed isn't a trump card."

Seeing that he was unwilling, Chen Beixuan didn't press him further.

Looking at the fusion scroll in his hand, his mind stirred, and he chose to use it.

ding! You used the 【Title Fusion Scroll】 and obtained the golden exclusive title 【Demon-Slaying Hero Chen Old Man】! 】

------

A series of titles on the panel disappeared, leaving only the dazzling golden Demon-Slaying Hero.

"Hmm...this looks much more comfortable now..."

Chen Beixuan closed the panel with satisfaction, feeling refreshed!

At this moment, Hughes came running to deliver a message.

"Chen Lao, this is what the City Lord asked me to give you."

He took it and saw that it was indeed the letter of introduction issued by Laji.

With it, he could take the teleportation array to the Level 2 main city, Winter Holy City.

However, before going to the Holy City, he still had some things to do, to collect all the rewards he was entitled to.

After sending Hughes away, Lu Ziming and the others also arrived.

"Grandpa, you were too fast. Our butts hadn't even warmed up before you were done."

Chen Beixuan frowned slightly. Why did that sound so awkward?

But he also knew that the other party didn't mean it that way, so he didn't pay too much attention.

His heart stirred, and he asked,

"You've come at a good time. Does anyone know any news about the Level 30 hidden dungeon?"

Lu Ziming and the others pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then all shook their heads.

"We've encountered a few Level 20 dungeons, but we haven't heard of any Level 30 ones yet..."

"Hmm, I see."

Chen Beixuan nodded, falling into thought.

After a trip to Sunset City, his level skyrocketed, causing him to not have had time to clear the Level 30 and 40 hidden dungeons for the first time.

The rewards for a dungeon's first clear were quite good and very useful to him.

As an elderly person, he planned to grasp both hands, wanting everything and letting nothing go.

As he pondered, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.

He then opened his backpack and started searching.

Before long, a diary appeared in his hand.

【Trick's Last Wish】: S-rank Hidden Quest

Quest Description: Go to the main city to investigate the murder of Trick's daughter years ago and find the mastermind.

Quest Requirements: Find the mastermind and kill them.

Quest Time Limit: None.

Quest Reward: Divine Artifact Necklace 【heart of last wish】.

------

This quest had been gathering dust since he accepted it, and he only just remembered it now.

An S-rank hidden quest, even more difficult than delving into the Demon Realm.

Perhaps there were clues to a hidden dungeon within it.

Maybe even complete it together.

He now had the Hero title, which would greatly reduce the difficulty of investigating this matter.

Let's get started!

After bidding farewell to Lu Ziming and the others.

He hailed Pedro, and the two arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The captain of the guard squad at the entrance immediately showed respect upon seeing Chen Beixuan.

"Chen Lao, how may I help you?"

"I'd like to see the case files from 10 years ago. Do I need to inform your City Lord?"

"No need, with your status, you can view them at any time. I'll take you there now."

The squad leader smiled, took off his helmet, and led the way for Chen Beixuan and Pedro.

Entering the room where the case files were stored, the squad leader pointed to the large boxes piled in the corner and said,

"Chen Lao, those are the files from 10 years ago. I'll be right outside the door, call me if you need anything."

Chen Beixuan nodded slightly, then turned to exchange glances with Pedro.

"Get to work, what are you waiting for?"

"Huh? Me work?"

Pedro pointed at himself with a bewildered expression.

"Otherwise? Do you expect me to work?"

Chen Beixuan glared at him, then found a chair from somewhere, brushed off the dust, and sat down, calmly taking out the diary to read.

Pedro dejectedly let out an "oh," then shuffled over to silently get to work.

The diary recorded that Dark Swordsman Trick's wife and daughter were humiliated and murdered by the mayor. Initially, it was thought to be a coincidence, but later it was discovered that things were not that simple.

When Trick returned for revenge, he found the mayor emaciated and indulging in pleasures, a completely different person from the plump mayor he once knew.

After killing him, he also noticed that the mayor's blood was black, like ink, which was very strange.

Later, he learned that the mayor had been cursed, and even if he hadn't returned for revenge, his days were numbered.

This curse amplifies one's desires, erodes one's will, and can also be subtly manipulated by the caster to some extent.

This indicated that there was a manipulator behind it!

After continuous investigation.

He determined that the caster was hidden within the City of Radiance, but their identity could not yet be confirmed.

The diary ended abruptly here, apparently because he had died...

And Chen Beixuan, who caused his death, now closed the diary.

Back then, Trick sought justice in the City of Radiance, but was beaten to death by the mayor's backer.

As long as he found the detailed case files from back then, he would be able to find out who that backer was.

"Master Chen! I found it!"

Pedro's excited and relieved voice rang out from the side!
