Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 177 First Mission



Chapter 177 First Mission

In the First Layer.

A day passed rather quickly while Davis cultivated his soul in peace. His exhausted soul completely recovered from the damage he took from Daniuis's move.

On the next day, he spotted Su Hualing on the training grounds and spoke with her for a few minutes, gaining some tips on how to get more Cloud Spring points.

With her advice, he first went to the Cloud Spring Recruitment Hall to register his team and went to the Cloud Spring Mission Hall to apply for a mission.

Accompanying him right now were Lucia and Lucas.

They had participated in some missions before with some experts protecting them, but now, they were a little excited as this was their first time that they would experience venturing out without having any experts to protect them.

That is if their parents let them go with him.

Davis stood in front of a receptionist lady who was dressed neatly in a blue robe, her cleavage was partly visible but he paid it no mind.

"You can't take that mission, you are not even a…"

"I know, I just wanted to know when I will be able to accept that mission…" Davis cut her off directly.

The receptionist lady who was also a mercenary, faintly frowned, but didn't mind as the other party looked like a teen.

She opened her mouth and pointed at the scroll on the table which he brought, "You'll be able to accept that mission when you reach the Vice-captain position."

"I see…" He held his chin and contemplated as he took hold of the scroll in one hand while he read it.

The contents of the mission were to slay a Bone Naga and obtain its magical beast core.

Giving the corpse of the Bone Naga and the magical beast core would award him with 10,000 Cloud Spring points.

To Davis, it should be doable as long as he uses his Silver Stage Cultivation to take down a Bone Naga, which is a Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beast.

But his confidence in taking it down didn't stem from his cultivation but rather, his Death Book.

He remembered how the Death Book said it could make him see the name of Magical Beasts through his Death God Eyes and Death Sense.

He actually used it on Magical Beasts before but could never once see their names.

So he asked the Death Book about it before a long time ago.

It just left him hanging with a sentence, "If the heavens haven't granted it a way to identify itself, then I wouldn't know either."

This statement of the Death Book made him realise that it was not omnipotent.

Fortunately, this Bone Naga was an Earth Grade Magical Beast, meaning that it would have gained sentience when it reached the Spirit Beast Stage.

Different from Earth Grade Magical Beasts, the Sky Grade Magical Beasts possess sentience from birth and the ability to process thought in a few days from birth.

'Did that Ferocious Vulture possess sentience since it was a Mortal Rank - Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast?' He pondered for a while and felt that it should be the case, but didn't feel any pity for its death.

It attacked him, so he didn't have any qualms about causing its death, and besides, it seemed the Cloud Spring Mercenaries were already out for revenge at that time.

"Then can you recommend a mission that is suitable for me…" Davis glanced at the receptionist and said.

The receptionist faintly smiled and took out a scroll from her spatial ring, "Well, as a new recruit, you always have to do this mission to get a badge…"

Davis took the scroll and opened it.

He smiled wryly and couldn't help but think that they were making things difficult for him but knew that they weren't since he noticed everyone present looking at him in a meaningful way.

[

Other than this method to gain a position in the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, he could actually be recommended by the ones in the higher position just like some powerful people, but since he accepted that deal with Daniuis, he had no choice but to do this.

Without saying anything else, he left the Cloud Spring Mission Hall and looked at the two figures who were waiting for him.

"Where can I find an Earth Grade Clan in this Desolate Plains?" He asked in an indifferent tone.

Lucas and Lucia looked a little flushed as they looked away. It was clear that they were laughing at him for getting that mission.

They knew what kind of mission he would get yet didn't warn him beforehand. This was clearly bullying, albeit there were no ill intentions in their actions.

Davis was unperturbed as he waited for them to calm down their emotions.

Finally, Lucia took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Do…"

Davis narrowed his eyes, waiting for her reply.

"Do you…" She gazed at him as if she was measuring him.

He blinked and questioned curiously, "Do what?"

"Do you dare! Plebeian!?"

"Pfft, hahaha!" Lucia and Lucas burst into another round of laughter as they pointed at him.

Davis maintained an indifferent face, although he was on the verge of bursting into laughter himself.

A few moments passed before Lucia finally calmed down and spoke, "It's enough, Lucas. There's no meaning in continuing with this joke as Davis won't understand it."

Hearing that, Lucas stopped laughing and smiled lightly, "Yeah, he is from the mountains. Of course, he won't understand…"

'Excuse me?' Davis's eyes twitched as he looked at them like how one would view country bumpkins.

He felt like opening up his knowledge to them and let them know about Mt.Tai but gradually calmed himself down and maintained an indifferent expression as he opened up his mouth again, "Umm… Where can I find…"

"Ah that, don't worry about it. I'll lead the way…" Before she could say anything about it, a voice echoed in her mind.

"Young Miss, master has called you back." A middle-aged man who looked neatly dressed in brown robes suddenly appeared beside them.

Davis narrowed his eyes. He wasn't even able to detect the presence of this man.
