484 Chapter 363: Chairman Windsor Recommended The Lord of Grace Mainland That is Exceptional
Peim shot Richard a dirty look.
“Don’t look at me like that. Just tell me if you’re going to accept this mission or not!”
Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after he saw the man break the plate.
He slowly said after some silence.
“What’s the price if I exchange for a scroll that can enslave extraordinary heroes from the wishing scales?”
Peim’s eyes widened, and he snarled.
“Don’t think about such a beautiful thing. You’ve already stepped into another level, although being transcendent is nothing.”
“You won’t be able to form one even if someone stands and offers you a contract.”
Richard remained unmoved.
“Mr. Peim, this is my business. You just need to tell me the price I have to pay.
Peim didn’t think much of it at first, but when he saw Richard’s look.
He said with a smile that was not a smile.
“It seems that I have underestimated you.”
Peim continued after he organized some thoughts.
“A scroll that can contract extraordinary powers is massively valuable, but I can promise you I will pay any price as long as you can get the god’s heart from that temple.”
Richard’s eyes narrowed.
He was just about to speak.
Suddenly, he heard the familiar system prompt.
[Ding~ You have triggered the S-rank mission–the Heart of Blasphemy.]
[As a demigod, the red dragon tore Peim’s heart in a battle, and his strength dropped to the freezing point.]
[He used the wishing scales he snatched from the ancient red dragon to obtain information about the god’s heart. Then, he started his plan.]
[However, the laws of that mysterious place are exceptional. Peim spent ten years and still couldn’t take a single step into it.]
[Until the lord god appeared…]
[Mission Requirement: Retrieve the sealed god’s heart from the ancient area–the Temple of Blasphemy, and hand it over to Peim safely so that he can regain his demigod power.]
[Mission Reward: Peim’s gratitude, one-time use of the wishing scales. The reward for this mission varies. Any choice you make will affect the final merit.]
Richard’s expression was sparingly subtle when he looked at the notification.
S-rank mission… The first S-rank mission he had received was the first instance dungeon. The Scarlet Council stole the princess of the empire, and he had to take the princess with him to avoid being hunted down by the entire world.
Only those who had experienced it would know how dangerous it was.
It was simply terrifying.
Now, there was another one.
Richard looked at Peim with a meaningful look after he read the message twice.
This white-haired-old man with one eye wrapped in a black patch and even trembled when he stood up was indeed not that simple.
‘Demigod.’
This form of address was enough to explain everything.
No wonder he was still alive even after he lost his heart.
The fact that Peim snatched the wishing scales from the ancient red dragon also surprised him.
‘How strong was this old man at his peak?’
“Mr. Peim, is there a time limit for this mission?”
Peim loudly said.
“Three months, I can still hold on for three months… I’ll have to go see the god of death. If you failed to get that god’s heart in three months.”
There was no fear in his tone, which was quite similar to the attitude of a frivolous old urchin.
Richard said.
“Three months… There was still room for maneuvering.”
The rewards of an S-rank mission were great, but the chances of survival were slim.
In the previous s-rank mission, although his achievements were brilliant, he had the support of the big boss of the Scarlet Council. He had almost died many times on the way.
It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to face a terrifying place that could seal a god’s heart alone.
However, it wasn’t like there was no chance.
Richard was deep in thought.
He had a trump card that he rarely used but could not ignore–the Hero Altar.
After a hero died, they could resurrect a hero on the altar.
It would give him the confidence to face this S-rank mission calmly. He could still survive even if he failed.
The losses would be slim.
“Mr. Peim, I’ve always liked to make friends, not to mention that you’re a friend Chairman Windsor recommended.
“I’ll accept this mission.”
“I’ll ultimately give you the god’s heart in three months.
Richard’s voice was calm, and confidence immersed it.
Peim nodded in satisfaction.
“I like you, fearless grace mainland overlord!”
He took out a thumb-sized compass from his pocket.
“After you enter the desert of death, drip a drop of blood on it, and the compass will point you to the temple.”
The moment Richard took the compass, the system beeped again.
[Ding~ You have accepted the S-rank mission–the Heart of Blasphemy. Please, complete it within three months.]
He took a deep breath and looked at the white-haired-old man on the mechanical chair with a burning gaze.
“I will not let you down.”
At this point, he decided on the mission.
Richard saw the wishing scales and found a way to enslave the Grand Duke.
At the same time, he received an S-rank mission. It would not disappoint Richard once he completed it.
Richard and Peim discussed a lot of information for another half an hour after he nodded on the mission.
At the same time, Richard also asked a few questions about the plane stones and the seed of the world tree.
Although Peim’s strength had dropped to level three, he was still a top boss and gave Richard valuable information.
He watched Richard’s back disappear.
Peim slowly leaned back on the mechanical chair, his eyes half-closed.
At this moment, a cloaked figure slowly appeared behind him.
The other party was there all along.
The blue eyes under the cloak stared out of the general store as he spoke slowly.
“Sir Peim, this grace mainland overlord is exceptional. I’m afraid he’s a legend.
“The crown on his head and the cape on his back are glorious treasures.
“That female warrior in black armor outside the store held a long blade and even gave me a hint of danger.
“The aura she gave off showed her probably Beyond A-rank potential, although only at level 13…”
The man with a cloak lowered his voice when he saw that Peim didn’t react and seemed to have fallen asleep again.
“Lord Peim, perhaps this lord can take the heart back… We’ve been waiting for this day for far too long.”
“Everyone in the Crimson Moon has waited for you to stand up and lead us again. We need your leadership, Lord Peim!”
