Carre looked at Ah Dai, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes. He seemed surprised by Ah Dai's ignorance, but he still explained: "The Mountains of Death are the most terrifying place on the continent. They are very large and almost the same area as the Xibo tribe. A small part is in the territory of the Tianyuan tribe, and a large part is in the Huasheng Empire, which almost becomes the natural dividing line between the Huasheng Empire and our Suoyu Federation. Now, if our Suoyu Federation thinks of the Huasheng Empire, they can only pass through the Tiangang Mountains not far away or the territory of the Holy Holy Church, otherwise they will have to take a long way. According to legend, it was the great first pope a thousand years ago and many powerful mana.

The place where the mage sealed the ancient demon god, there are all kinds of terrifying monsters in the mountains. Almost no one can come out. There were several large-scale mercenary groups to explore, but no one came back. I am afraid that even if we mobilize the entire group, we may not be able to get the best magic crystal. In the past, I have seen several similar tasks in the Red Hurricane City Association, all of which are looking for some particularly precious items, and these items are from the Death Mountains. It is said that the more the mountain is, the more powerful the monsters are. The reason why this task of finding the best magic crystal is not the highest level - super, is that it is on the edge of the Death Mountains."

Xuan Yue said: "It sounds interesting, the Death Mountains? It's the first time I heard about it? You said that few people can come out of the Death Mountains. How did the news of the best magic crystal come from? I think there must be a lot of exaggerated elements in this, so I don't believe in the powerful monsters." In fact, almost everyone in the Holy See know the name of the Death Mountains, but Xuan Yue's father forbids everyone to tell his daughter that no one knows Xuan Yue better than him. If Xuan Yue knows that there is such a place, it will inevitably arouse great interest to go on an adventure. But human calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and his efforts will be wasted.

Xuan Yue ignored Carro, who was speechless when she was asked, turned to Ah Dai and said, "I have decided to take on this task of obtaining the best magic crystal. How about it? If you are afraid, you can not go."

Ah Dai shook his head and said without hesitation: "I'll go, but Miss, if we get the best magic crystal, I hope I can give me one, okay?" In his words, filial piety to Gorries is much greater than fear of the mountain of death.

Xuan Yue said generously: "No problem, then it's decided. Let's go and take on the mission."

Carre watched Xuan Yue and A Dai run to the task counter to receive this task that even their Red Hurricane Mercenary Group dare not touch. From their tone, it seemed that the best magic crystal had already been obtained. He hurried to the counter, "Miss Magician, you can't go to that place! You don't even have a warrior. Don't you go to death when you two magicians come there?"

Xuan Yue had already handed his mercenary card to the service staff behind the counter, "Don't worry, how can there be high returns without danger? What I have decided will not change. We are flexible because we have few people. If we really can't beat monsters, won't we run away? Hello, hurry up! I want to take on that special mission, register quickly, we are going to set off." The last sentence was said to the service staff at the counter.

The service staff at the counter thought he had heard it wrong at first, but he didn't understand until now, and his voice trembled: "Miss Magician, are you sure?"

Xuan Yue laughed and said, "Of course I'm sure, hurry up, by the way, I'll call me the leader of my Tianye Mercenary Group in the future."

Seeing the service staff registering, Carro is still making his final efforts, "Miss Magician, that place is really too dangerous. I think you should give up your thoughts."

Xuan Yue took the registered card from the service staff and smiled at Carre, "Carre-Big Uncle--, you are too old and you don't even have the courage. Isn't it just a monster? We just went to see it, Ah Dai, let's go." After that, he quickly ran out of the Mercenary Union.

Behind Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, there was a voice of regret. No one would be optimistic about their mission.

Carre has been in society for many years, and of course he would not change his position just because Xuan Yue said he was timid and shook his head sadly, "It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. What a pity for two magicians! Mountain of Death? Is that a place where people can go?"

In the shadow outside the mercenary union, two figures were talking in a low voice.

"Yin Er, hurry up and report to the Bishop that the lady is going to the Death Mountains, and I will follow her."

"Yinyi, let's just stop the lady directly, but you must not let her go to the Death Mountains! It is a forbidden area announced by the Holy See."

"Hey, I know, but do you think we can stop the lady? You also know her temper. Have you forgotten the pain of being baptized by her holy light last time? Go quickly. Only the Bishop can stop the lady from taking risks. I will try to protect them. If the Bishop hasn't arrived yet, I will try to stop it."

"Okay, Yinyi, then I'll go first. We must protect the lady's safety, otherwise we will all be done. Although the lady has a little bit of temper, she is still kind-hearted!"

"You need to say, Miss, I watched me grow up. Since she was born, the director gave me this task. I couldn't even believe it myself. After all, we are nothing in the courtroom! Go quickly, time is life."

One of the two black shadows flashed and disappeared, while the other quietly followed Ah Dai and Xuan Yue.

Xuan Yue said excitedly as she walked: "Adai, you said, if we complete this task, will the mercenary level be greatly improved? Maybe we can get a special mercenary, it's so interesting. Hehe." She seemed to have forgotten the conflict with Adai in the morning, and her heart was filled with expectations for adventure.

They had just gone to the Magician Union to retrieve the Tiangang Sword. Ah Dai was not dissatisfied with Xuan Yue taking on this mission. He only had the term "Best Crystal" in his heart. "Miss, I want to ask you a question."

Xuan Yue was in a good mood and said, "You ask."

Ah Dai said: "Miss, do you know what the best crystal looks like? If we don't even know what the target looks like, how should we find it?"

Xuan Yue smiled mysteriously, approached Ah Dai, looked around carefully, and whispered: "I didn't expect you to become thinking about problems. Of course I know what it looks like, otherwise I wouldn't have taken on this task."

A Dai was stunned and said, "Do you know?"

Xuan Yue said proudly: "Of course. Don't forget, my father is the cardinal of the Holy See. I haven't seen anything before, look." As he said that, he put his short-handled magic wand in front of Ah Dai, pointed to the transparent gem on it, and whispered: "This is the best magic crystal."

Ah Dai had never noticed Xuan Yue's magic wand. After hearing what she said, she couldn't help but look carefully. The magic wand, which was only about one foot long, could not see anything strange on the surface. The white wand body was radiant and lush, and a sacred aura faintly revealed. The tail end was sharp cone. At the top of the wand, white wings of the same texture flew up slanted and slightly bent, forming two arcs, just like the wings of an angel. In the center of the wings, the top of the wand was inlaid with a transparent gem as the size of an egg. There seemed to be liquid flowing in the gem. Under the reflection of the sunlight, faint light flashed from time to time. Pointing to the gem in the center, Ah Dai said: "Are you saying that this piece of the best magic crystal?"

Xuan Yue nodded and said, "Yes! Dad told me that he would definitely not lie. Don't you believe it?"

A Dai looked carefully at the transparent gem in the center of the magic wand, but did not see anything strange. Xuan Yue explained: "There will be a special energy fluctuation in the top-quality magic crystal. As soon as I see it, I will definitely recognize it. They just said that we don't have warriors, so how could they know that you are warriors? Hehe, go quickly, let's prepare some food first, and then set off."

Ah Dai followed Xuan Yue to the fat boss's steamed bun shop. Xuan Yue glanced at Ah Dai and said, "Don't you like to eat steamed buns? Let's prepare more so that we can eat on the road." As he said that, he held his head up and walked towards the steamed bun shop. Ah Dai was stunned, his heart was slightly fluctuated, and he didn't say anything, and followed him directly.

When he saw Ah Dai and Xuan Yue’s arrival, the fat boss said excitedly: “Ah Dai, you are here. I was just about to pay you the remaining money? You gave too much yesterday. My steamed buns are not worth even a gold coin!”

Ah Dai raised the cloak on his head and smiled silly, "Uncle, just accept it, that's what I should give it to you."

Xuan Yue came over and said, "Boss, I want to buy steamed buns, how much does it cost?"

The fat boss said: "One copper coin is two, Miss, you came with Ah Dai, just take it. Yesterday, Ah Dai gave him a lot of money."

Xuan Yue laughed and said, "I want a lot of it. You know, he is very edible."

The fat boss smiled and said, "If you want it, just take it as much as you want, keep it full."

Xuan Yue glanced at Ah Dai. After seeing the fat boss, Ah Dai returned to his stupidity when he first met him. It seemed that he was still angry with himself! He was so stingy. That cold feeling was too uncomfortable. If he wanted him to be a follower for him, it seemed that he would have to bribe him well.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yue stretched out a finger to the fat boss and said, "I want a thousand steamed buns."

Ah Dai and the fat boss looked at Xuan Yue in surprise at the same time. The fat boss's feet softened and almost fell to the ground. He said in a lost voice: "What? One thousand steamed buns."

Xuan Yue looked at them in surprise and laughed, "Yes! There are only one thousand, and we will have tonight. In this way, even if he eats ten a day, it will be enough for more than three months."

The fat boss became a little stuttered because of surprise and said in a trembling voice: "But, but, one thousand, one thousand steamed buns, how do you take them!"

Xuan Yue said mysteriously: "Then don't worry. You just need to prepare a thousand steamed buns for us. I will give you money. Ah Dai, let's go and buy something else." After that, he took out an amethyst coin and threw it to the boss next to him, pulled Ah Dai's sleeve and left.

Ah Dai was also very curious. A thousand steamed buns were two or three hundred kilograms in total. Although he didn't care about the weight, he couldn't carry a large bag of steamed buns to explore. But he didn't ask. He knew that even if he asked Xuan Yue, he might not answer him. Anyway, the steamed buns were ready, so he naturally knew.

Behind them was the fat boss with a wry smile on his face. He said to himself: "A thousand steamed buns, even if I try my best, I can't finish them in one night!"

After leaving the steamed bun shop, Xuanyue started a big purchase, mainly eating, and bought several clothes for A Dai and herself. Naturally, these things came to A Dai's hands. Xuanyue felt very fresh when she saw everything. She didn't have to buy them all, but she must have to see them. Almost all the shops in the small town had her figure until the end of the evening. At this time, A Dai was already covered with all kinds of items. Just as they were about to go back to the steamed bun shop, they were stopped by a group of people. This was an empty street and few people passed by.

This is a group of samurai with light armor. They are not old, and they look about twenty or twenty. They are dressed in uniform. They all have mercenary badges on their chests. Three of them are silver mercenary badges, showing the strength of their second-level mercenaries. The most conspicuous one is one of the female mercenaries. She is wearing brown Pika, with long red hair scattered behind her. She looks very beautiful. She is full of heroic spirits between her eyebrows, carrying a light long bow, and the bow is shining with silver metallic luster. She is obviously an archer. Her charming eyes flow and falls on Ah Dai.

When he was stopped in front of him, Xuan Yue was not surprised at all. He hid beside Ah Dai and said, "They seem to have bad intentions, look at you."

A Dai nodded slightly, stepped forward a few steps, and said politely: "May I ask, what's wrong with you?"

A second-level mercenary led by the mercenaries took a step forward. Among these mercenaries, he was the only one wearing silver light armor. He looked like their leader. He smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Magician, we are members of the Yuehen Mercenary Group, and I am the leader of the group Yuehen. These are my good brothers. We have no intention of stopping you, we just want to seek cooperation."

A Dai was stunned and said, "Seeking cooperation?"

Yuehen nodded and said, "Yes, we have all seen the process of taking on missions at the Mercenary Union just now. We are also very interested in that top-quality magic crystal. I wonder if we can cooperate with your mercenary group to explore the Death Mountains together?"

When he heard that it was not a robbery, Xuan Yue hurried over and stood in front of Ah Dai, saying, "I want to cooperate with us? What do you want to get?"

Yuehen smiled slightly and said, "Miss Magician, you have also seen that we are all a group of young people. We have heard what you said in the union. We are not for money, but just for adventure. Only places like the Death Mountains are worth seeing. If we get a lot of top-quality magic crystals, I hope we can share a little bit of it, which is enough. After all, you will take on the task. If it weren't for you, Miss, we really couldn't be brave enough."

Xuan Yue blinked her big eyes and thought to herself, since Carre said that the Death Mountains are very dangerous, it seems that it is not a false statement. If these people can go together, the possibility of success will be much greater. Moreover, there are many people and lively, and the other party is all young people, so that's fine. Nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay to go, but you must listen to me on the road and don't make decisions without authorization."

The red-haired girl walked to Yuehen and said, "How can that be done? You are only two of you, there are so many of us, and we are not from the same mercenary group, why do we listen to you?"

Xuan Yue snorted and said, "I don't care, I'll listen to me. Don't forget, I'm a magician, a light-based magician. And only I can tell the best magic crystal."

Yuehen was stunned, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. The preciousness of the light-type magician is not about how strong his attack power is. The most important thing is that he can use recovery techniques and auxiliary magic to the people in the team. In this way, he can avoid many casualties. Yuehen nodded and said, "Since that's the case, we agree. Little sister, who made you talk too much."

The red-haired girl snorted slowly and said, "Listen to her voice, I'm afraid she's not as big as me. I'm not convinced if she commands me. Unless she can win me."

When did Xuan Yue fear the challenge and snorted coldly: "Don't accept it? OK! Then I will accept your challenge. So what if I am not as old as you? Is it better to be older than you?" As she said, she lifted up her cloak. When the mercenaries saw Xuan Yue's peerless appearance, several people exclaimed in surprise, and the beauty of the red-haired girl was immediately compared.

Ah Dai put the things on his body aside, lowered his head, and said to Xuanyue: "Miss, let me do it." No matter how stupid Ah Dai was, he knew that the archer was a magician's nightmare. Since he promised the Cardinal, he must not let Xuanyue be injured again.

Xuan Yue didn't appreciate it, so she glanced at the red-haired girl with disdain and said, "No, I can deal with her, I'll do it myself." After that, she raised the magic wand in her hand.

Yuehen also wanted to see why this little girl who looked only in her teenage years was certified by a high-level magician, so she nodded to her sister and whispered: "Don't hurt her."

The red-haired girl let out a gratitude without comment, took off her long bow, and like a magic trick, a silver arrow had been placed on the bow. The other mercenaries retreated more than ten steps, leaving a clearance for them. The red-haired girl pulled the bow for Moon and said, "Little sister, don't say I bully you, my wind-destroying arrow has the attribute of destroying the demons. Remember my name, my name is Yue Ji." As soon as she finished speaking, the silver arrow shot out and turned into a phantom, and shot towards Xuan Yue with lightning speeding over less than thirty steps. Yue Ji's arrow technique is already well-known in the mercenary world and can no longer be described as accurate. The purpose of her arrow was to shoot Xuan Yue off a piece of clothes and embarrass the little girl in front of her who was more beautiful than herself.

At such a close distance, it was unfair to compete with the archer. The magician needed time to chant, but this sudden arrow did not give Xuan Yue any time.

Xuan Yue pushed A Dai away, who wanted to take action, and gently waved the magic wand in her hand. At the moment when the silver arrow was about to come, a strong light suddenly appeared. When everyone regained their vision, they found that Yue Ji's body was completely covered by a layer of light curtain. No one except A Dai saw clearly what was going on.

Even if A Dai saw it, she couldn't understand. Just now, just when the silver arrow reached Xuan Yue's body, she seemed to be chanting a word low, and her whole body was suddenly shrouded by light. The silver arrow, which was claimed to have the attribute of devil-breaking, was immediately blocked by the light, and could not make any progress. Xuan Yue also took this opportunity to issue a low-level magic to cover Yue Ji. What surprised A Dai was that he did not see Xuan Yue chanting a spell, whether it was defense or attack.

Xuan Yue said proudly: "Who said that the archer must be the magician's guest star? How about it? Do you have to continue to compete?" A faint light flowed in front of her, setting off her beautiful face, as if she was like a fairy descending to earth. All the members of the Yuehen Mercenary Group were stunned.

After a while, Yuehen reacted first, walked to his sister, looked at Yue Ji with a confused look on her face, and said to Xuan Yue: "Miss Magician, your strength is beyond our expectations. This time I went to the Death Mountains, I decided that Yuehen Mercenary Group would completely obey your order."

Xuan Yue nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, you guys go back first. Tomorrow morning, we will see you at the Xicheng Gate, so don't be late. It's not too late. Ah Dae, let's go."

On the way back to the steamed bun shop, Ah Dai couldn't bear it and asked, "Miss Xuanyue, what method did you use to block the arrow just now?" Ah Dai asked himself. If he wanted to crack the ghostly arrow just now, he could only use the Tiangang Sword to block it based on his feelings. Whether it could be blocked was still a question. As for using magic, he couldn't even think about it.

Xuan Yue pouted and said, "Are you finally willing to talk to me? That's my secret, I can't tell you."

Ah Dai hit a nail and stopped talking awkwardly.

When the two returned to the steamed bun shop, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. The table was filled with steamed buns. The fat boss was sweating profusely and took out several cages from it. Ah Dai hurried over to help.

Putting down the cage, the fat boss gasped and said, "Okay, this should be enough for a thousand steamed buns, only a lot of more. This is the result of my neighbors helping me. I have been busy for a whole afternoon! I want to know the most now, how do you plan to take it away? This is nearly 300 kilograms."

Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Then you wait and see it, so that you can see it." She closed the store door, stretched out her white and tender little hand, and leaned in from her collar, and grabbed a necklace. The necklace was silver-white, without any light flashing, and looked extremely ordinary. But at the end of the necklace, there was a red gem pendant, constantly flashing with a faint red light. At this time, it was late, and almost all the civilians went home for dinner. In order to make these thousand steamed buns, the fat boss deliberately closed the business for one day.

Xuan Yue's big eyes closed and murmured, "Take the blood of the phoenix as the guide, open the door of time and space." As she sang, the red necklace pendant suddenly shone brightly, and a red light covered Xuan Yue's body. She suddenly opened her eyes and said softly: "Cover—"

The steamed buns on the table seemed to have heard the call, flew up one after another and rushed towards Xuanyue. What surprised Ah Dai and the fat boss was that as soon as the steamed buns touched the red light on Xuanyue's body, they disappeared immediately. Xuanyue seemed like a bottomless pit. In a short while, she cleaned the steamed buns on the table.

The fat boss opened his mouth wide and said in a daze: "Is this the power of magic? It's so powerful, so amazing."

After collecting the steamed buns, Xuan Yue did not stop. She took away all the things she bought during the day. When she wanted to collect A Dai's own bag, A Dai was grabbed by A Dai and refused to let go. There was Irving's ashes inside!

Xuan Yue's red light was restrained and she said angrily: "I don't want you, why are you doing so tight? How cumbersome to hold it! Isn't it easier to let me put it in the blood of the phoenix?"

Ah Dai said in a sloppy manner: "No, this burden is very important to me. You must carry it with me to be relieved. Miss Xuanyue, it turns out that your magic is so powerful!"

Xuan Yue pouted and said, "So stingy. Is my magic very powerful? My dad is so powerful. When I reach the level of a great magician in the future, I can open my own space bag. No more troublesome with Phoenix Blood. All your steamed buns have been received by my necklace. When you want to eat them, remember to care about me."

Although Ah Dai learned some alchemy from Goris, everything in front of him had exceeded the scope he could understand. How could he know that the most precious thing on Xuan Yue was this phoenix blood necklace, which was definitely aggrieved to use to hold steamed buns. Then, the treasure given to Xuan Yue by the Pope was one of the few artifacts in the Holy Church. If it weren't for the phoenix blood as a talisman for Xuan Yue, how could Cardinal Xuan Ye be so relieved to let his daughter come out?

Xuan Yue murmured: "One copper coin and two steamed buns, one hundred copper coins are two hundred steamed buns, five hundred copper coins and one thousand steamed buns, then the amethyst coins I give you should be enough."

The fat boss was completely shocked by the "magic" just now and nodded repeatedly when he heard this, saying, "Enough is enough, there are still many more, I'll find it for you."

Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Seeing that you have worked so hard, you don't have to look for it anymore. I'm not as stingy as some people. I'm tired and want to find a place to sleep." After that, he walked out of the store first.
To be continued...
