Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The Task of the Wisdom Tree



```

[You have visited the Wisdom Tree]

As Qin Muye approached, "Lord Era" suddenly flashed this reminder; he remembered that it seemed capable of allowing a visitor to gain 1 level.

Then the Wisdom Tree timely opened its eyes, its expression carrying curiosity, "A strong Spirit Monster, if not for the body being eroded by magic, it would have been a second-tier troop. What a pity."

Qin Muye did not pay attention to the prompt from "Lord Era", instead, he directly asked, "Is there any way to save him?"

"Save him? A mage actually wants to save a Spirit Monster, how perplexing," the curiosity in the Wisdom Tree's tone was even stronger than when it looked at the Champion Level Spirit Monster, as if it had encountered an extraordinary flower.

"Esteemed wise one, what's there to be perplexed about? He is loyal to me, so naturally, I should plan a way out for him," Qin Muye calmly said, feeling there was a chance, with the luck bonus of the four Spirit Monsters, perhaps they could truly solve the magic rebound of the Champion Level Spirit Monster.

"Hahaha, you are the most interesting mage I have ever seen; of course, there are ways to save him."

"If he wasn't a Champion Level troop, perhaps there would truly be no solution, but since you managed to train him to Champion Level, he then represents possessing the qualifications of a hero. All that is needed is to develop this qualification and promote him to a hero to escape the magic rebound."

"The strength of Champion Level is far beyond your imagination. I have a Warrior Promotion Certificate here; just give it to him, and with this certificate, he could become a warrior. And due to the potential of Champion Level, it's very likely that he will become a rare profession among the warrior types."

"However, it's a pity, due to rules, I cannot present it to you directly. Do you understand, Talent Lord?"

The words from the Wisdom Tree made Qin Muye stall, he hadn't expected the Wisdom Tree to also know about "Lord Era", but soon he calmed down and nodded, "I understand, so is there anything you would command me to do, or anything you need? Just speak frankly."

Qin Muye looked intently at the Wisdom Tree, but not at the face on its trunk, instead at the roots that touched the soil.

As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure; he wondered if he could dig up the Wisdom Tree and take it with him?

"Of course, if you head north, there is an Undead Tomb. If you clear all the awakening Undead inside, I will give you this Warrior Promotion Certificate."

[You have received a clear out quest: Undead Tomb]

[Objective: Clear an Undead Tomb to the north]

[Reward: Warrior Promotion Certificate, 1000 Experience Point]

[Do you accept? Yes/No]

"I know to head north, but how far exactly?" Qin Muye did not immediately accept the quest, but rather asked.

The Wisdom Tree seemed slightly uneasy under Qin Muye's gaze and then said, "About eleven kilometers or so, little mage. Staring at an elderly's ankles doesn't seem quite proper."

"Oh, sorry, I have strabismus," Qin Muye gave a perfunctory excuse, then realizing his gaze was a bit too explicit, quickly withdrew it.

It was strange that the distance was measured in kilometers, hopefully, it's the kilometers from his past life, not some bizarre length unit.

"In that case, I will take a trip there first. Wait for the good news, wise one."

Having said that, Qin Muye left with the Spirit Monster in tow.

"Master, can we really trust that Wisdom Tree?" the Champion Level Spirit Monster asked with some hesitation.

Qin Muye knew what it was thinking and explained, "It may not be trustworthy, but 'Lord Era' is."

He had accepted the task and naturally understood its authenticity now.

Actually, he was quite curious about what the consequences would be if the Wisdom Tree conned him with its reward.

From the words of the Wisdom Tree, it seemed like Magic Continent 9527 was aware of the arrival of a bunch of Lords and even referred to them as Gifted Lords. What's more important is that the other party appeared to be bound by the rules of the "Lord Era," unable to directly give him anything.

'However, I think the other side appears to be testing rather than being curious!'

He felt lucky to find the Wisdom Tree, given by the Spirit Monster, but if he were told that he would receive a mission and a Reclassification Certificate just for saving a Spirit Monster, he wouldn't be too convinced.

After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

'So, the only thing I can trust are the Spirit Monsters under my command. The Wisdom Tree can be dug up and drained of all its knowledge.'

Qin Muye knew that the "Lord Era" was definitely not a child's play. Although he had lived very peacefully for the past three days, that was also because he hadn't encountered any forces or other Lords. Otherwise, how could there be a 7-day newbie period and a 30-day adaptation period? This was enough to show the world was quite cruel.

'Everything will probably reveal itself after the newbie period ends.'

The newbie period was based on their development, while the adaptation period was very likely for them to get used to the cruel world.

As for those who couldn't adapt, they would naturally die.

'And there are Heroes, existences above the Troop types. Is this world really not a modification of Heroic Unrivaled?' For a moment, Qin Muye's mind was quite chaotic.

However, he soon expelled these chaotic thoughts from his mind and continued to focus on studying the magic of the Magic Eye.

But this research process was not smooth. He lacked sufficient Mage Knowledge, so learning was quite difficult.

Even though he had talents and skills related to learning, education still had to follow basic principles. Self-studying from scratch was very challenging.

Along the way, he also picked up quite a bit of Resources, but it seemed like his Luck had run out, and he didn't encounter any more Treasure Boxes.

With Champion Level Spirit Monsters leading the way, he also killed quite a few wild monsters.

Only, he needed 2000 Experience points to level up from Level 2 to Level 3, which was roughly equivalent to 200 first-order wild monsters. Even for Champion Level Spirit Monsters, that wouldn't be so easy to accomplish, not to mention he had previously killed about a hundred to gain one level.

They had taken about an hour and a half to cover the eleven kilometers, mainly because they had to kill wild monsters and collect Resources, which caused the delay.

"This Undead Tomb is really frank," Qin Muye said with a mix of laughter and helplessness as he looked at the Undead Tomb. Shouldn't normal tombs be underground? Turned out, it was built right on the ground, though it seemed to lead underground, with a considerable number of Undead visible.

[One-time Instance · Undead Tomb: Skeleton Training Ground 961 (Low Level First-order)]

[First-order Ordinary Level Troop quantity: 90%]

[First-order Elite Level Troop quantity: 10%]

[1% chance of encountering Hero units/First-order Champion Level Troops]

[Would you like to enter the instance? Yes/No]

"It's actually an instance, they even have this? This is incredible," Qin Muye exclaimed in surprise upon encountering the Undead Tomb, astonished that instances were even reproduced here.
