Morning mist filled the entire Tabak Town. The old and short houses kept trembling in the howling cold wind, like old people hanging in the evening. Most of the nearby Tabak Town are level training areas with relatively low levels. After the players' level was improved, they all left here and went to other places, making the entire Tabak Town look particularly deserted. There are only three or three low-level players busy nearby on the street.

After a long journey, Xiao Yu finally returned to the place where he was born. Although he had only been away for a few days, he returned here again. Everything here is so familiar and nostalgic. Looking at these familiar buildings, Xiao Yu felt a lot of emotion. His journey began here.

"Minister Odd, I'm here to take on the mission." Xiao Yu said to the thief mentor Odd who was lying on the bench to rest. His body could not feel a trace of life. If it weren't for the slightest breath of breath, Xiao Yu would have thought he had died.

Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, the thief mentor Od opened his eyes, and his turbid gaze gradually focused on Xiao Yu's body.

"You have reached level 15, and your stealth level is still a little low. If you practice to level 6, you can take on the next task." The thief mentor Od narrowed his eyes and said. For some reason, there was always a hint of Xiao Yu's inability to see clearly in the eyes of the thief mentor Od.

Xiao Yu remembered that his stealth skills were only level five. After checking his skill proficiency, he was still half apart. Xiao Yuman was depressed. If the stealth level was less than that, it means that he could not take on the task.

"Before the mission, you can first survey the peripheral terrain of the mission location and exercise your stealth skills. Take it. This is the mission map." The thief mentor Od threw a slightly damaged map to Xiao Yu and said.

Xiao Yu took the map from the thief mentor Aud. I don’t know how many years this map has been, and many places have been missing.

"It won't be something like a treasure map again, right?" Xiao Yu thought with the map, slowly spreading the map, with twists and turns on it, and an ancient temple was drawn in the center of the map.

Seeing Xiao Yu checking this map with concentration, the thief mentor Ode slowly said: "This is a sacrificial temple of the Guds. Thousands of years ago, the Guds were the indigenous residents of Diya. However, for some reason, the Guds who lived in this desert thousands of years ago suddenly disappeared, leaving only the remains of this temple. More than ten years ago, my brother and I used this ancient map to find the temple in the desert, and explored the center of the temple. We obtained a lot of information in the temple, and then we learned about this temple."

The thief mentor Ode was very calm when telling this story. Maybe Xiao Yu was too sensitive and always felt that there was a desolate and sad taste in the tone of the thief mentor Ode.

"What am I going to do?" Xiao Yu asked carefully, looking at the thief mentor Ode. The thief mentor Ode's expression was always so lazy, he squinted his eyes, but his eyes were blurred, as if he was trying hard to recall the past story.

"The content of the mission is to find the core altar of the temple. There is a round red energy crystal in the center of the altar. Punch this dagger into the energy crystal, and your mission is completed." said Odd, the thief mentor, "After you survey the outer periphery of the temple, I can help you enter the interior of the temple, but I cannot get close to that altar. Entering the altar to pierce the energy crystal, you can only complete it."

The thief mentor Od took out a silver scabbard dagger. The dagger was made extremely exquisitely and very short, and its shape was somewhat similar to Xiao Yu's escape dagger. At the back end of the dagger, the pattern of the silver-horned unicorn was engraved, and the dagger exuded a mysterious power outward.

Xiao Yu took the dagger from the thief mentor Aud, stroked the pattern at the back of the dagger, and a warm heat flowed into Xiao Yu's body along his fingers.

"Why can I enter the altar?" Xiao Yu asked in the eyes of the thief mentor Ode. This question made Xiao Yu a little puzzled. Why can't the thief mentor Ode enter, but he can. Why did the thief mentor Ode give him this task? He tried to find the answer in the eyes of the thief mentor Ode. Undoubtedly, Xiao Yu failed. There was nothing else in the eyes of the thief mentor Ode. There seemed to be too many doubts in this task.

"Every human being can enter the altar in the center of the temple." said Odd, the thief mentor.

Xiao Yu carefully savored the words of the thief mentor Ode. There is a different meaning in the words of the thief mentor Ode. Every human can enter the altar in the center of the temple, but why can't the thief mentor Ode?

As if he saw the doubt in Xiao Yu's heart, the thief mentor Aud smiled desolately and said, "Because I'm not a human."

Xiao Yu felt a stern heart. The thief mentor Aud is not a human, so what is he? This is a bit incredible.

The thief mentor Od spread his left hand that he had been holding tightly. There was a red spot on the palm of his left hand. There was a red blood vessel leading to his arm. The red blood flowed in the blood vessel, and the bright red blood inside was clearly visible.

"This is the curse of the Good people. Once they are hit by this curse, the soul of the person who is cast will be imprisoned and then gradually become a half-human lich. If I remember correctly, I will have one month left in my time. In a month, my soul will be completely eroded and become a lich who only knows how to kill." said Odd, the thief mentor.

Looking at the clearly visible blood vessels, Xiao Yu was shocked. Xiao Yu thought that he was just taking on an ordinary task, such as collecting something, killing NPCs or monsters, etc., but he didn't expect that this task would have such complex content.

"The dagger in your hand is the key. If you can't pierce the energy crystal in the center of the altar, then use it to pierce my chest so that my soul can be detached." The thief mentor Od told these things, his tone as calm as ever, as if the person who was about to die was not him.

"Are these NPCs all the guys who are not afraid of death?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but mutter, stroked the dagger in his hand. The dagger came with a trace of mysterious power, which made Xiao Yu feel extremely comfortable.

Xiao Yu pulled out some of the dagger, and a sharp cold light flashed. Suddenly, the blade of the dagger emitted a blazing white light, illuminating the entire short and old wooden house.

Then, the thief mentor Ode screamed shrillly. Xiao Yu was shocked when he saw the left arm of the thief mentor Ode. Under the white light, the left hand of the thief mentor Ode gradually dissolved, and the flesh and blood were like a pile of mud.

"Hurry up and put away the dagger." The thief mentor Od roared anxiously.

Xiao Yu quickly inserted the dagger into the scabbard, and the white light stopped. The thief mentor Od stopped dissolving with his left hand, and gradually began to return to his original haggard appearance.
Chapter completed!
