Last time, I destroyed the Eternal Alliance stronghold, but because I didn’t accept the mission in advance, I lost a lot of merit points.

 A lesson for those who have gone before and a guide for those behind.

 Shen Changqing felt that he had to make preparations in advance.

 The old man looked at the person in front of him speechlessly. He felt that it was necessary to remind him repeatedly what kind of strength the Eternal Alliance stronghold possessed.

"The Eternal Life Alliance is a big force that divides the human race with demons and evil spirits. In any stronghold, there are always demons in the innate realm, and they may even be higher. Not to mention the yellow-level demon slayers, even the mysterious level demon slayers. There is no absolute certainty that a stronghold can be destroyed——"

“Of course I understand this, but I still want to ask, how much merit can I get if I destroy the Eternal Alliance stronghold?”

 【Reading Welfare】Follow the public.. account【Book Friends Base Camp】, read books every day and get cash/points!

 Shen Changqing repeated the question just now.

 Seeing the other party being so insistent, the old man could give an answer.

“If it is confirmed that there is indeed an Eternal Alliance stronghold there, and you have the ability to destroy it, then this mission will be considered overfulfilled, and you can get an additional eight merit points.”

“If you get eight additional points, then combined with the previous rewards, it will be fifteen points of merit?”

 “That’s right.”

 The old man nodded.

Although he did not think that Shen Changqing had the strength to destroy the Eternal Alliance stronghold.

 But since the other party dares to say such things, his strength must not be underestimated.

only--

 The old man reviewed the memories in his mind, but he could not remember that he had seen Shen Changqing in the Huangjie Palace before.

 After all, any powerful yellow-level demon slayer is already a senior person.

 Every time you enter or leave the Huangjie Palace, you will leave some impression on yourself.

 Maybe it’s because I’m old!

the other side.

Shen Changqing nodded: "Then I will accept this task, thank you."

"good!"

 The old man nodded, wrote some information on the original paper, and then gave a reminder.

"If possible, you'd better not reveal your identity in front of those trainee demon slayers, lest they become lazy or dependent."

"no problem."

　　——

 Leaving the Huangjie Palace, Shen Changqing had an additional piece of mission information in his hands.

 This is the second task he received after taking the test.

From the original book, we can see that the normal yellow-level demon slayer tasks, as well as the assessment tasks for this batch of trainee demon slayers, are actually not very difficult at all.

 Comparing the assessment tasks that I performed for the first time, the gap became apparent.

 Back to the yard.

 Shen Changqing first went to Jiangzuo.

 He ​​is a member of the Huangbu Demon Slayer Academy. Every time he performs a task, he needs to report to the manager of the Huangbu Demon Slayer Academy to determine his annual task share.

If you do not report and just go out to complete the task directly, it will not be counted in the annual task completion standard.

 Wait until Shen Changqing arrives.

Jiang Zuo also opened the door.

"come in."

 After sitting down, Shen Changqing looked at the person in front of him with a confused look on his face.

“Deacon Jiang is injured?”

 In his perception, the breath on Jiang Zuo's body was erratic, and even though his clothes were clean, he could still smell the fresh smell of blood.

It can be seen from this.

The other party must be injured to have such a fresh smell of blood.

Hear the words.

Jiang Zuo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yeah, I'm injured. I don't know if the evil spirits have become more rampant recently, or if it's just my bad luck. On several missions, I encountered some evil spirits that were beyond the scope of the mission.

This time it was even more serious, and I unexpectedly encountered a evil-level monster.

If it weren’t for an Earth-level demon slayer performing a mission nearby, I might have fallen into the hands of that evil-level monster."

 Finished.

Jiang Zuo not only smiled bitterly in his heart, but also felt palpitations due to this.

With the intelligence level of Tianchawei, it is impossible for there to be such a big deviation.

 A evil-level monster is also a big hidden danger.

 If it is not handled properly, it will be enough to kill people in a city.

 Speak up.

These few mission trips have not been smooth sailing. Either this or that kind of accident happened. Fortunately, my background is deep enough. Otherwise, the Huangbu Demon Slayer Academy would have to change its manager again.

 “Evil-level weirdness!”

 Shen Changqing's complexion changed.

“Isn’t it said that there are guardian envoys stationed everywhere, and as long as there are evil-level monsters mixed in, it will definitely attract the attention of the guardian envoys?”

 “Although this is true, it is not inevitable.”

Jiang Zuo glanced at him and shook his head to explain.

"The reason why evil-level monsters will be noticed by the guards immediately when they appear is because the sinister aura of evil-level monsters is so strong that it is almost difficult to hide them. As long as evil-level monsters appear, the whole world will be alerted. Wei must be aware of it.

 When the news is reported, the guards will naturally take action.

 However, not every evil-level monster that appears will be suppressed immediately.

If all the Heavenly Guards are wiped out, the news from the Demon Suppressor will be delayed. At the same time, if evil-level monsters have special means to hide their evil aura, it will also be difficult to detect them.

However, over the years, the Demon Suppression Division has been quite strict in supervising various places, and it is rare for evil-level monsters to sneak in without knowing it."

The words have fallen.

Jiang Zuo added silently in his heart: It was just an accident I encountered.

  Waiting for Shen Changqing to speak.

 He said again.

“Furthermore, evil spirits have been rampant in recent years, and the Demon Suppression Division has also suffered a lot. It is difficult to satisfy any region with enough guardian envoys. In some places, the number of guardian envoys is sparse, and it is inevitable that there will be laxity.

 But in such a place, the geographical location is not very important, so we call it a wilderness.

The wilderness does not specifically refer to a fixed place, but in those places demons are rampant, and there are often some powerful demons. Most of the earth-level and heaven-level demon slayers usually perform their tasks in the wilderness."

 Desolate land!

 Hearing this, Shen Changqing understood something more in his mind.

 Think about it for a while.

 He asked: "So, there are many people living in the wilderness?"

 “That’s natural.”

"Now that the demon-suppressing Si Teng can't take action, why don't you consider moving the people down and gather them together? Isn't it easier to protect them comprehensively?"

 Shen Changqing asked the doubts in his heart.

 I have heard about the serious loss of power of the Demon Suppressor many times.

 But to be honest, he didn’t have a specific idea of ​​the extent of the losses.

Jiang Zuo looked at him with strange eyes, seemingly speechless.

“You have to understand that those are the territory of Da Qin. Gathering the people would be equivalent to giving up those places. Although there are not many resources in the wasteland, it is not abandoned at all.

Moreover, if the people are gathered together, other places will undoubtedly be crowded, making it difficult to supply all kinds of supplies.

If there is no wilderness as a buffer and the evil spirits attack in large numbers, once a certain place is conquered, the losses will increase greatly."

Hearing this, Shen Changqing finally understood.

 The existence of the wilderness is very necessary.

 It was not only to stabilize the territory of Qin, but also to have enough space for the people to survive.

 The simplest and most direct.
