75: Meet Calis again, A-level mission [Steal the Artifact]!

Chen Beixuan initially thought it was Pedro.

But when he turned back, he was instantly stunned!

He never expected to meet the other party again and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It's actually you!"

"Heh, why can't it be me?"

Kalis still looked like that hunched old man, smiling.

"You've been walking around with my emblem, and I sensed it the moment you entered the Dark World."

Chen Beixuan's heart grew vigilant upon hearing this, and he quietly clutched a designated teleportation charm in his hand.

Although in a sense, he saved Kalis.

But demons were demons after all, and it was better to be careful in case he turned hostile.

"What, are you going to capture me? Or are you going to kill me?"

He was enveloped in black mist, making his expression unclear.

But just from his tone, Kalis could imagine him raising an eyebrow.

"I have no ill intentions towards you. This isn't the place to talk, follow me."

Seeing Chen Beixuan not move, he was somewhat exasperated.

"Your friend is also with me, so you can rest assured."

With that, he turned and slowly walked towards a small alley.

After a moment of thought, Chen Beixuan.

Lifted his foot and followed...

Arriving at Kalis's residence, the interior of the spire-shaped building was quite spacious.

As soon as they entered, they saw Pedro tied up and thrown on the ground.

Kalis claimed this was a quick calming method.

Seeing Chen Beixuan enter.

Pedro wiggled like a maggot, making muffled sounds with something stuffed in his mouth.

Chen Beixuan stepped forward to untie him, and after a brief explanation and reassurance, the three sat down.

Pedro exuded resentment, sitting there without saying a word.

He had just gotten out of jail only to be tied up again.

His reputation as a Divine Thief was probably ruined...

Ignoring his thoughts.

Chen Beixuan sat in the chair, his sharp gaze fixed on Kalis.

"Speak, I'm all ears."

Kalis shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

"How about... I tell you another story?"

"I think it's better to speak directly."

Chen Beixuan interrupted him, quietly casting Reconnaissance Technique.

——————

Shadow Demon Kalis: 70th level Golden BOSS

HP: ???

Attack: ???

......

Danger Level: Extremely Fatal!!

Description: Once one of the Twelve Demon Generals, tormented by the seal for a hundred years, only to find that things had long changed upon his release.

——————

Kalis's strength was actually stronger than Papachee's?

It seemed that the Twelve Demon Generals of the demon race were probably comparable to the City Lords of the human race.

Papachee was slightly inferior but was also approaching City Lord level strength.

Noticing the last sentence 'things had long changed'.

It gave him a vague guess.

Kalis, upon hearing this, simply got straight to the point.

"If I'm not mistaken, your mission objective should be to destroy the teleportation array."

"As long as you help me with something, I'll help you distract Gregg, as for the rest... that's up to your own abilities."

"What favor?"

Chen Beixuan asked, narrowing his eyes.

Kalis raised his eyes, stared at him, and slowly said.

"Help me steal my divine staff from the city's treasury."

As soon as these words came out.

It immediately caught Pedro's attention.

He no longer cared about being kidnapped by the other party, his eyes shining as he said.

"Steal from the treasury? Where's the treasury? What kind of guards are there..."

Slap!

"Ow!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Beixuan slapped him on the back of the head!

"You get excited when it comes to stealing, shut up and behave."

After scolding Pedro, Chen Beixuan turned his suspicious gaze to Kalis.

"You, as a demon, are helping us. Please give me a reasonable explanation."

"Could it be... you're turning over a new leaf?"

"Uh... Hahaha!"

Kalis burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"You old fellow are really cautious enough!"

After laughing for a while, he pondered for a moment and said.

"It's not about turning over a new leaf; I just want to reclaim everything that's mine."

"There's no longer a place for me among the current Twelve Demon Generals; to ascend, I can only do so through challenge."

"And my strength has declined after being sealed for a hundred years, and my divine staff is still stored in the treasury. Successfully challenging is purely a dream."

"Strength can slowly grow, but the divine artifact is in the treasury, and that fellow Gregg is unwilling to return it to me."

"I can't openly seize it, otherwise, I'd truly become a traitor to the demon race."

"So I need you, who possess strength and a legitimate identity, to help me."

"I originally thought it would take many years for you to come to the Dark World, but I was mistaken..."

Kalis said this much.

He couldn't help but take a deep look at Chen Beixuan.

This speed of strength improvement truly amazed him.

After hearing his explanation, Chen Beixuan suddenly thought of a question.

"But if the divine artifact ends up in your hands, won't Gregg suspect you?"

"Also, if you help us lure him away and the teleportation array is destroyed, wouldn't you be the most suspected accomplice?"

Kalis smiled confidently at these two questions.

"My challenge to him is reasonable and legitimate; as long as I don't admit it, he can't do anything to me."

"As for the divine artifact, there's even less to worry about. That staff has a transformation function; no one will recognize it if it changes its appearance."

"How about it? Accept or not?"

[Ding! Kalis has issued you an A-rank hidden quest [Steal Divine Artifact]. Do you accept?]

"Accept."

Chen Beixuan no longer hesitated and clicked accept.

This quest was highly manipulable.

Who said you could only take the quest's divine artifact from the treasury?

As long as his hand speed was fast enough, even a little bit of looting would be a huge profit!

Seeing him accept the quest, Kalis smiled.

"Good, then I'll tell you about the treasury's defense setup."

Pedro, beside him, was overjoyed and quickly perked up his ears.

"The treasury is located in the tall tower behind the City Lord's Mansion. The walls and floor are carved with runes that block spatial skills, so you can only enter through the main entrance."

"The elite demon soldier guards are 35th level, and Captain Otto is 50th level; their strength should not be underestimated."

"Gregg should have been guarding the City Lord's Mansion, but for some reason, he's guarding the teleportation array today, which conveniently facilitates your actions."

"If you're discovered, you'll only have one minute to react, so you must act quickly!"

"That's about it. I can't show my face, so you'll have to rely on yourselves."

Chen Beixuan nodded thoughtfully.

The quest conditions seemed very strict, only allowing a frontal assault.

But after experiencing the Dark World and the iron cage, he felt that the Chaos Mage was not that simple.

Perhaps using Void Escape could ignore the runes and directly pass through to the interior.

If not, it would still be timely to act then.

Once successful, wouldn't there be treasures everywhere to choose from?

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards.

Pedro was also full of excitement; this time, he would definitely prove his identity as a Divine Thief!

After finalizing the plan.

The two left Kalis's room and headed to the City Lord's Mansion.

Patrolling demon soldiers marched in formation on the street, and the two safely saw the tall tower.

Around the tower, a demon soldier guard stood every 5 meters.

The guard captain also patrolled occasionally, making the defense quite strict.

He had an 84-meter casting range, making it easy to obtain the other party's information.
